Chapter 86 Good deeds are rewarded!
At this moment, several guards sent by the county magistrate arrived.
They carried the injured and unconscious Zhao Qiang to get treatment, and also dragged away the survivors they had left behind.
"Madam, I shall take my leave now."
Zhao Gang said goodbye to the two sisters again and left with them.
Sun Mengfei led the two sisters into the inner courtyard and they sat down in the reception room.
She handed the child to the maid beside her, saying, "Dongxue, take the young master back to his room to rest."
"Mother...you should also get some rest early."
"Good Song'er, go ahead."
Dongxue responded, gave a slight bow to the two sisters, and then led the child outside.
The child took a few steps, then ran back. He mustered his courage and said firmly to the two sisters:
"My name is Zhao Yisong. Thank you both, sister, you saved me and my mother!"
"When I grow up, I will repay you!" Then he turned around, took Dongxue's hand, and left.
“Song’er is usually very well-behaved and polite. He was frightened by the thugs earlier, which is why he hasn’t been talking much today.”
It's absolutely not because I dislike the two young ladies, and it wasn't intentional. Please don't take it to heart.
Sun Mengfei's eyes were filled with tenderness and affection as she watched her son until he left.
Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan certainly wouldn't mind such a small matter, after all, they had always had two ugly faces, which was indeed difficult for children to accept.
He tried his best to overcome his fear of them, staring wide-eyed at them, trying to remember the appearance of the person who saved him and his mother, which amused them somewhat.
Moreover, they thought it was just a child's polite remark and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, they encountered the young boy again during a time of crisis.
……
This child is really cute. Come to think of it, they don't seem to be much older than her.
Of course, the two sisters wouldn't discuss with someone else's mother whether her child is well-behaved or not.
Lin Chunyi, avoiding the main point, chuckled lightly:
"Madam is overthinking it. The young master is very cute."
"Stop calling me 'Madam' all the time. How old are you? Why don't you just call me Sister Sun?"
The two sisters froze, even though the magistrate's wife did indeed look to be only in her early twenties.
But if that child calls them "sister," and they also call his mother "sister," how does that determine their generation?
Moreover, they weren't so magnanimous as to casually address the magistrate's wife as their sister.
"Madam, I just turned sixteen this year, and my sister is three years younger than me."
Just as Lin Chunyi was thinking about how to respond, County Magistrate Zhao Zongyue arrived.
"Fei'er, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Sun Mengfei happily ran forward and jumped into Zhao Zongyue's arms, "Brother Yue, why did you only come now? You scared me to death today!"
I thought I'd never see you again. Why didn't you send a few more people to pick us up?
As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion.
Zhao Zongyue hugged her tightly and comforted her:
"I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. Don't talk nonsense, it's alright, don't be afraid!"
I was indeed careless in what happened today.
"The suffering Fei'er has endured today, I will definitely find out who's behind it and get revenge for you."
This scene of deep affection and tender love is truly moving, bringing tears to the eyes of those who hear it.
If it weren't for the two sisters awkwardly standing by as spectators in this huge living room...
Zhao Yisong: So at least the older sisters have a sense of presence, but I've never even been mentioned! I'm just proof of my parents' love, right?
They talked for a while, one after the other, before finally remembering that there were still people inside.
Zhao Zongyue released his wife, who was reluctant to part with him, and said, "Madam, please stop crying. There are outsiders here."
Zhao Gang said, "Were two young women passing by and saving you? Where are they? Who are these two?"
Sun Mengfei also remembered that there were two unmarried girls present, and her face immediately turned red.
After gently wiping away her tears, she said somewhat mysteriously:
"Husband, these two young ladies saved me and Song'er. Look closely at them, you recognize them, think carefully!"
Zhao Zongyue wouldn't say he had a photographic memory, but someone with such a distinctive appearance was someone he recognized...
He couldn't possibly have forgotten.
Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan felt a little nervous under the scrutinizing gaze, and quickly bowed:
"This humble woman greets Your Excellency, the County Magistrate!"
"Husband, she is the one who saved my and Song'er's lives, why are you scaring them like that!"
As soon as these two voices came out, Zhao Zongyue remembered.
“It is you. Get up. Today you are the benefactors who saved my wife and child. You are my benefactors, Zhao Zongyue’s benefactors. Please sit down.”
Then he walked to the head seat, sat down, took a sip of the warm tea that the maid had just served, and continued:
"After our last meeting, I felt that I would definitely see you all again. But I didn't expect it to be so soon, and I didn't expect it to be in this way."
"Thank you all so much today. Without you, I don't know what would have happened to my wife and Song'er."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan.
Although Zhao Zongyue had only met the two sisters once, he knew quite a bit about them.
If it weren't for his earlier gesture of giving them what they needed...
Given the cautious nature of these two sisters, they probably wouldn't risk their lives to save someone.
fortunately!
The two sisters immediately stood up, trembling with fear.
“Your Excellency, if it weren’t for you, we probably wouldn’t be able to save the lady and the young master now.”
Today's matter was merely a small act of kindness from my sister and me, a small way to repay your great debt. Please, sir, take it easy on us!"
They said they were sincere, but their minds were elsewhere.
Lin Chunyi was thinking: Why are these maids so perceptive...?
When their masters are being affectionate, they disappear; when their masters need them, they appear immediately... How amazing!
Lin Lanshan thought to herself: Last time I met the magistrate, he was seated. This time, not only was he seated, but I also received his courtesy. We're really getting more and more accomplished...
Sun Mengfei interjected at this moment:
"My lord, Miss Lin and Second Miss Lin were worried about our safety on the journey, so they escorted us all the way back. We must thank them properly!"
Before the two sisters could refuse, she turned to the maid and whispered:
"Spring rain..."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Judging from this, the two sisters must be going to get something valuable to give them.
Lin Lanshan stammered:
"Madam, we just helped out by accident..."
Chunyu quickly came over carrying a small box, presenting it with both hands, "Madam."
"You should go back too; you've all had a hard day."
Sun Mengfei took the small box and stuffed it into Lin Chunyi's arms.
"Miss Lin, thanks to you all, Song'er and I are safe and sound today."
Here is five hundred taels of silver as a small token of my gratitude; please accept it.
