Chapter 721: Strange Servant
Shen Xia stared at her parents and grandfather closely, her eyes full of concern and worry, and said softly: "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, please don't worry too much."
"We can slowly investigate what happened before."
"Those things are not that important. As long as you are healthy and safe, that is more important to me than anything else!"
"When I learned that you were missing, my heart almost jumped into my throat. I was really afraid of losing you. Fortunately, our family is finally reunited. This is the greatest happiness."
Hearing Shen Xia's thoughtful words, the three of them nodded in agreement.
At this time, Shen's mother looked at Shen Xia with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Child, is the person who rescued us your good friend?"
Shen Xia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, and replied: "That's right, Mom, you can put your mind at ease. With their help, we are all safe now."
As he spoke, Shen Xia gently patted his mother's hand, trying to make her completely put her worries aside.
Then Father Shen looked at Shen Xia with sharp eyes and asked, "When can we leave this place?"
Mr. Shen always felt uncomfortable living here, and the people here were weird and didn't talk.
No matter what you ask, you won't be answered and you are not allowed to leave the courtyard.
If we hadn't just arrived here, we would have called a doctor to treat their injuries.
They probably all think that the other party is a bad person.
However, my father is an old Chinese doctor, and they were just external injuries, nothing serious.
Now they didn't know the other party's background, and they would definitely not reveal that some of them had medical skills. Later, when the medicine was brought to them, the old father would check it and make sure it was fine before they would drink it.
Otherwise, we are not acquaintances after all, so I still feel uneasy.
Shen Xia thought for a moment, then gently responded to his father: "Dad, you've been traveling all the way and you're exhausted. Why don't you take a good rest here for two days and recuperate? When everyone is almost recovered, we can set off back to the capital."
After hearing this, Father Shen nodded thoughtfully and said with emotion: "Well, that's good. Your grandfather has indeed suffered a lot along the way. It's time for him to take a good rest."
Grandpa Shen, who was standing by, always had a amiable smile on his face and said slowly, "What does all this mean? I originally thought I would never see Xia Xia again in this life."
"Who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful coincidence that we could meet again. Now our family is complete and reunited, I can't tell you how happy I am!"
Grandpa Shen happily talked about the joy he felt when looking at his granddaughter.
Mother Shen nodded: "Yes! We can finally be reunited as a family."
Shen Xia thought about when she first came here, she missed her parents and thought that she would be happy if her parents came over. But now that her parents are really here, she wonders if they will not be used to living here!
Shen Xia looked at her parents and said, "It's different here than in modern times. It's a slavery system, and there's no such thing as equality for all. Dad, Mom, and Grandpa, you can only get used to it."
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Xia Xia, don't worry. Mom has also watched Legend of Zhen Huan when she is free. Don't worry!"
Shen Xia: "It's not that there's so much intrigue, mainly because we don't live in the palace."
Father Shen: "It's okay. I don't go out very often. I just grow flowers and vegetables at home and take care of your children."
Grandpa: "Yeah, that's right. I don't go out. I just grow flowers and vegetables at home and take care of your children."
Shen Xia thought to herself: I'm afraid there aren't that many children for you to take care of. At this moment, she suddenly felt that there were too few children.
Now Song's mother's side is also deserted.
When people reach a certain age, they cannot be too idle, as being too idle can easily lead to problems.
Shen Xia didn't know how to arrange for her parents for a while.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard opened.
Three servants came in with trays, probably for lunch.
The servant in front nodded and greeted the one below.
Then he took the people behind him and put the food on the table.
Then he went downstairs with the plate.
Mother Shen looked at them and said, "Xia Xia, they are dumb, right?"
Shen Xia had actually discovered this problem before. No one here knows how to speak.
I just don’t understand whether he has aphasia or is born unable to speak.
Shen Xia asked, "Is it like this every day when Mom stays here?"
Mother Shen nodded: "Well, no one wants to talk, and they won't answer when asked."
Shen Xia explained: "Maybe he is deaf-mute!"
Mother Shen: “Maybe!”
"Well, it's almost noon now, let's have lunch first!"
Shen Xia pulled her mother toward the table.
We had lunch together. It was just a family reunion, so there was definitely a lot to talk about.
Then Shen Xia spent the whole afternoon chatting with her parents.
Several people also discussed it.
There is no such thing as calling mom and dad here.
And my mother is like a servant.
So Shen Xia discussed it with her parents and said that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were the godmother, godfather, and godgrandfather that Shen Xia had met before.
The three also agreed.
That’s all I can say.
Otherwise I don’t know how to explain it.
After all, Shen Xia didn't plan to let her parents live outside. She must live with them. She was not at ease with them living outside.
I also talked to everyone about the situation in the capital.
Before, her parents only knew that she married into the Song family as a shared wife, but they didn’t know about Gu Zizhan, so Shen Xia also talked about it.
Although the parents were a little surprised, they also knew that this was a different era. Moreover, they felt that their daughter's fate was a little special, so they didn't say too much about this matter. As long as they had no objection and their daughter was happy, that was enough.
After all these twists and turns, they are lucky enough to be able to be with their daughter.
It doesn’t matter what your identity is.
Shen Xia had dinner with her parents in the afternoon: "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you should go to bed early tonight. I'll go check on my friend Li Yi and see how he's injured."
Father Shen: "Well, go ahead!"
As soon as Shen Xia came out of the yard, she saw Li Yi standing at the gate.
Shen Xia looked at him: "Have you eaten?"
Li Yi shook his head.
"Ling Heng didn't arrange a meal for you."
"No, I'm here to protect you."
Shen Xia: “….”
Shen Xia looked at the servant next to him and said, "Hello, can you bring me a meal for one person?"
The boy nodded: "Okay."
There was a pavilion in the front yard: "Send it to the pavilion in front!"
Shen Xia said this while pointing at the pavilion.
The boy nodded again.
It seems that these people can hear it, but they just don't speak.
