Grandma and Xiaonan stood at the door, looking around anxiously, waiting for Xiaoxue's return.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Shangguan Yunting appeared riding a tall horse. Grandma and Xiaonan excitedly stepped forward to greet him.

Shen Nan asked anxiously: "Uncle Jiu, where are my eldest and second sisters?"

"The sisters are in the carriage."

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the two sisters saw their grandmother and brother and immediately shouted: "Grandma, Xiaonan, we are back."

The moment Xiaoxue saw her grandma and brother, tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't wait to get off the carriage, but Shen Rou held her back and helped her down only after the carriage slowly stopped.

Grandma hugged her granddaughter tightly after a long separation, and tears burst out like a flood.

She cried so hard that she couldn't speak, and choked with sobs, saying, "My poor child, you are finally back. You have suffered so much to become so thin and bony. My dear child, you have suffered so much. Grandma will make delicious food for you every day and make you plump and white.

After hearing what her grandma said, Xiaoxue cried even more aggrievedly, and her tears wet her grandma's clothes.

Grandma gently stroked Xiaoxue's hair with her wrinkled hands, trying to comfort her, but Xiaoxue seemed to want to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past two or three months.

"Grandma, I miss you and my brother, as well as my grandpa, uncle and second uncle."

"Let's go home to see them during the New Year, okay? Don't cry, dear. It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."

"Grandma, don't cry either."

"Grandma, these are tears of joy. Your mother should rest in peace in her grave."

When Shen Xue heard her grandma mention her mother, she cried even more sadly.

She sobbed, "Grandma, I miss my mother..."

"Good children, don't cry. Grandma will take care of you in your mother's place and watch you grow up and start your own families."

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried bitterly, which was very touching.

Shen Rou, who was standing by, also had tears in her eyes, and silently said to the original owner in her heart: I found your sister, are you happy?

Shen Rou suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face. She knew that this was the original owner's emotion.

After crying for a while, the original owner said to her, "Thank you. I am leaving now. Please be kind to my family."

Shen Rou also silently said to the original owner: "They will be my family in the future, I will definitely treat them well."

"Remember your promise."

The voice in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Shen Nan also hugged them and cried, "Second sister, you are finally back. Xiao Nan missed you so much. From now on, I will give you all the delicious food."

Xiaoxue held her brother in her arms, "Xiaonan, I thought you would never come again."

"Second sister, our family will never be separated from now on."

"Okay, we won't separate."

At this time, the neighbors came over and asked curiously: "Auntie, what are you doing? You cry like you are tired."

Shen Rou quickly said: "Aunt, I brought my sister here from my hometown. Grandma and my brother are very happy."

"So that's how it is. Your family is really close."

"Where are your parents?"

"My mother passed away early, and my father remarried. The new wife couldn't tolerate the three of us siblings."

"Men are like this. They forget their old partner when they have a new one, and they don't even want their children. They are heartless."

"It's so disheartening that the child has become so thin."

"Xiao Rou, don't worry about him from now on. Just take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."

"That's what my aunt said."

Shen Rou thought to herself: If I don't kill him with my own hands, he will be very lucky.

When my younger siblings are able to protect themselves, I must go to Beijing to bring disgrace to Jiang Zongwei and make him pay for his actions.

"Grandma, it's a good thing that Xiaoxue has arrived. If you cry on the street, people will think something has happened."

"Xiaoxue, let's go home."

Grandma held Xiaoxue's hand and walked towards the shop.

"Xiaoxue, grandma knew you were coming, so she cleaned up your room and bought you a few sets of clothes. Go back and try them on to see if they fit you."

"Thank you, grandma. I've never worn new clothes since I can remember. It was my eldest sister who bought me new clothes a while ago. I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world."

"Silly girl, so easily satisfied."

"I am very content that I can still see my grandma, my elder sister, and my younger brother in this life."

At this time, Master Yang and Shangguan Rui came over, and grandma hurriedly introduced them: "Madam Yang, this is my second grandson, Shen Xue."

She looked at Shen Xue again and said, "Xiaoxue, this is Master Yang who teaches Xiaonan."

"Hello, Master Yang."

"The child has suffered, it's good that he's here."

"Thank you for your concern, Master Yang."

"This is Yun Rui, Master Yun. He is three years older than you. Call him brother from now on."

"Hello, Brother Yunrui."

Shangguan Rui looked at the frail Shen Xue in front of him, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.

She is thin and small, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, but her big eyes are twinkling, full of smartness and cuteness.

Her voice is so soft and sweet that it makes your heart melt.

Shangguan Rui couldn't help but reach out and gently touched Shen Xue's head, smiling and said: "Xiaoxue, welcome to come, I will have another sister from now on."

"Thank you, Brother Yunrui."

"I'm making delicious food today to celebrate Xiaoxue coming to our big family."

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou distressedly and said: "You've been tired for so many days. Let's just eat something casually today. Tomorrow I'll send someone to buy some food so we can celebrate Xiaoxue's coming."

Shen Rou looked at Shangguan Yunting and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "That's fine."

Everyone walked into the house and started chatting.

Shen Rou was worried about her sister's health, so she helped her back to her room and lay down. Xiaoxue's eyes became wet when she saw the new bedding and new clothes.

Shen Rou asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go call a doctor."

"Sister, I'm not feeling unwell. I just feel like this is a dream. I have a home with my grandma, my older sister, and my younger brother, and I have new quilts and new clothes. We didn't have such a good life when mom was alive."

"Sister, pinch me! I'm afraid this is a dream. When I wake up, I'll be back in that little house, being beaten, scolded, and starved."

Shen Rou said firmly to her sister, "Xiao Rou, forget all the unpleasantness in the past, start a new life, and don't mention those experiences to others, okay?"

"Sister, I will try my best to forget the past and live a good life with my sister, grandmother and brother."

"My sister is amazing. When you recover, go study with Master Yang and learn to read and write, and practice martial arts with Ye Qing. You can use martial arts to protect yourself and those you want to protect."

"I want to protect my grandmother, my elder sister and my younger brother, and also help my elder sister make money to support the family."

"Big sister, I just hope you can live as you wish. Leave the rest to me."

"Sister, I can study and work at the same time. I am very lucky to be able to return to you. I should help you shoulder the burden of this family."

Shen Rou looked at her sister and said with relief: "I will support you in whatever you want to do in the future."

"Sister, you are so kind."

"Silly girl, who made you my sister?"

Shen Rou saw her sister's tired face and said, "Rest for a while and get up to eat later."

Shen Xue nodded and closed her eyes to rest.

Shen Rou walked out of the room quietly and closed the door.

At this time, everyone was chatting when they saw Shen Rou come out.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, she's just too tired. Let her rest for a while."

"Master Yang, can you accept Xiaoxue as your disciple?"

"can."

"Thank you, Master Yang."

Grandma and Shen Rou went into the kitchen to cook, and soon a fragrant aroma filled the air.

The guards sat at one table, and they sat at another table. While eating, grandma and brother kept putting food into Shen Xue's bowl, letting her feel the warmth of family.

"Grandma, Xiaonan, you guys eat too. There are so many delicious dishes that I don't know which one to eat first."

"Eat whatever you want, we're all family here, don't be restrained."

Shangguan Yunting glanced at Shen Rou for a moment, and Shen Rou happened to be looking at him. Their eyes met, and everything was said without words.

Shangguan Rui also picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in Shen Xue's bowl. "Xiaoxue, you are too thin. Eat more meat and grow taller."

"Thank you, Brother Yunrui."

They sat together and enjoyed the warm moment.
