Si Muran followed the couple back to their house. From the decoration of the mansion, it was not difficult to tell that they were from a wealthy family.
In order to match her image, Si Muran looked around as if she had never seen anything before. Although the couple did not despise her, they still looked at her with some disdain.
Having just escaped death, Si Muran felt that it was useless to care about these things. The most important thing now was to fill her stomach quickly.'Man is iron, rice is steel. If you don't eat, you'll be famished.' The old man's words were indeed true.
By the time dinner started, Si Muran was so hungry that she almost treated everyone else as food on her plate. If she were to starve for a few more days, she suspected that she might really have to eat someone.
However, the male host, who was also the child's father, had to express his gratitude. Before they started eating, he had made a long speech. The main content of the speech was to thank Si Muran for saving their child's life.
Si Muran could tell from the male owner's words that this family's surname was Sun. She could also tell from the words 'Sun Manor' on the plaque at the door.
The man's name was Sun Dezhao, and the woman's name was Wu Xiulan. The husband and wife had opened a small restaurant near the clinic.
Wu Xiulan looked like a gentle and virtuous woman. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she exuded the qualities of a good wife and mother. Her voice was also gentle." May I know how we should address you?”
"Just call me Siting." Si Muran naturally didn't dare to reveal her real name. She remembered that her parents used to call her by her nickname Tingting when she was young, so she changed her name to Siting.
Moreover, she and Pei Chenshuo were in the same city. If she accidentally made a mistake and was caught by Pei Chenshuo, she would be the one in trouble.
"So it's Miss Si. Did Miss Si come to the city to look for her relatives?”Wu Xiulan automatically classified Si Muran as a country bumpkin when she saw her rustic outfit.
Si Muran was stunned for a moment. She had indeed wanted to come back to look for her family, but unfortunately, she did not have any relatives. Her deadbeat father would not care about her " death ". The only thing he cared about was that she would not be able to bring him any benefits after she died. She was about to become Pei Chenshuo's father-in-law, but now everything was gone.
She was afraid that the entire Si family would not be sad about her death, except for the nanny who had raised Si Muran! Si Muran couldn't help but feel sad and dejected at the thought of this.
Si Muran's silence seemed to be a confirmation of Wu Xiulan's words to the couple. However, it seemed that the process of finding her relatives was not going well. Otherwise, she would not be in such a sorry state.
Si Muran did not pay much attention to her image when she was eating. Besides, she was really starving. In the end, she had made things worse and aroused the sympathy of the couple. They felt that Si Muran was a good person. If she did not mind, they could give her a job.
Si Muran didn't know what the couple was thinking, but most of the time, adding icing on the cake didn't count as a skill. Only by sending charcoal in the snow could one see through people's hearts.
"Miss Si, if I may ask, do you have any plans now?”Wu Xiulan was the only daughter in the family. Meeting Si Muran was like suddenly having a younger sister. Moreover, it was a younger sister who had a rough life. Naturally, she cared more about her.
"I haven't made any plans yet. Previously, I wanted to rely on a friend of my father's. My father helped him a lot when he was alive, but who knew that he would turn his back on me and kick me out? He even said that he didn't know our family at all.”As Si Muran spoke, she squeezed out a few tears. Since she was going to act, she had to act more realistically.
When Wu Xiulan heard Si Muran's words, she felt even more pity and heartache for her. She looked like a child, but she had to suffer so much in the end. It was really hard on her.
"Miss Si, if you don't mind, why don't you come to our restaurant to help first? It won't be too late to leave after you find a better way out.”
When Si Muran heard Wu Xiulan's words, she felt a warmth in her heart. They were just strangers who had just met, but they were actually willing to think for her.
Si Muran hurriedly nodded." Sister-in-law, I don't even know how to thank you. You're really the benefactors in my life."”
"What benefactor? If you hadn't saved our Tianqi, he probably wouldn't have taken the medicine even now. That child has a very stubborn temper.”Wu Xiulan exuded a motherly aura when she mentioned her child, which made Si Muran feel envious.
"Sister-in-law is really too polite. I'm so embarrassed.”After going through so much scheming and scheming, Si Muran really liked this kind of innocence. She didn't even want to leave this place.
"Can I call you Tingting?"
"Of course you can." Si Muran suddenly felt guilty for lying to them, but for the sake of her life, she could no longer trust anyone.
She had heard everything that Pei Chenshuo and Concubine Ning had said in the carriage. Concubine Ning suspected that she was faking her death. Even with Pei Chenshuo's confirmation, she would not fully believe it. With her ruthlessness, she might have sent those assassins.
Pei Chenshuo did not look like he knew that someone was after her. Otherwise, he had hidden it too well. However, he was sure that he had always been the one who had been deceived.
The so-called " Canon of Heavenly Works " was really harmful to people. The founding emperor of the Celestial Pole Kingdom was famous for it, so much so that his descendants wanted it or its contents. As a result, the " Canon of Heavenly Works " became a hot potato.
But even though she knew all this, Si Muran still felt that there was a fog in front of her. She didn't know how to walk out of this fog, let alone dispel it.
"Tingting, if you don't mind, you can stay here first. That way, you can take care of each other.”Wu Xiulan seemed to really like Si Muran, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they hit it off at first sight.
In the end, Si Muran did not reject Wu Xiulan's good intentions. She found a room to stay in the Sun residence. Now, the problem of food and lodging had been solved, so she had to know how to make a living for herself.
Early the next morning, Si Muran opened her eyes at dawn. Ever since the fire, she had been having trouble sleeping. She was always worried that something would happen that she couldn't handle. She even felt that her life was saved. Every day she lived was a blessing from the heavens.
Wu Xiulan was a little surprised to see Si Muran. Although she had said that she wanted Si Muran to help out at the restaurant, it was just a casual remark. The Sun family was not lacking in food, even though she could tell from last night's dinner that Si Muran's appetite was actually quite big.
"Sister-in-law, I want to help out in the restaurant. I can't just stay here for free.”Si Muran was actually quite embarrassed. If it wasn't for the Sun couple taking her in, she would definitely be living on the streets now.
Wu Xiulan had no choice but to agree. When they arrived at the place, Si Muran found out that the small restaurant that the couple mentioned was one of the best places in the city. Si Muran had heard of this place before, but she had never been here before.
Si Muran regretted coming to the restaurant with Wu Xiulan because she didn't expect to see a few familiar faces here.
Si Yalan sat by the window. Si Muran had never talked about the man opposite her, but it seemed like they were on good terms. The two of them chatted and laughed, and they seemed to have a lot in common.
Didn't Si Yalan like Jinlin? Although Jinlin had not shown up for a long time, Pei Chenshuo had not given up on sending people to look for him. However, there was no news of Jinlin's whereabouts.
Jinlin was the empress dowager's man. Perhaps the entire Jin family was the empress dowager's man. If a woman wanted to take all the power in her hands, she could do anything. Si Muran had once wondered if Jinlin had already been eliminated, but on second thought, he was not that weak.
Si Yalan was chatting happily with the man and didn't notice that the village girl who served them was Si Muran. After hearing the news of Si Muran's death, she wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. That wretched girl was finally dead. She wondered who had done her such a big favor. Thinking about not having to see Si Muran again, Si Yalan was so excited that she couldn't sleep for the entire night. From this, it could be seen how much Si Yalan hated Si Muran.
In fact, Si Muran was also very nervous and almost made a mistake in front of Si Yalan. The man sitting opposite Si Yalan took a few more glances at Si Muran, and she also found that man to be somewhat familiar.
Si Muran really couldn't remember if she had interacted with that man before. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into her mind. He seemed to have some similarities with Jinlin. Could this man be Jinlin's relative?
This could explain why Si Yalan had appeared in the restaurant with him. It seemed that Si Yalan had not given up on Jinlin. However, all of this was just Si Muran's guess. Jinlin was too dangerous, and she did not want to have anything to do with him.
However, she did not know if her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she actually saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street not far from the restaurant. At that moment, she was almost sure that it was Jinlin. However, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, making Si Muran wonder if she was being paranoid. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was panicking.
Si Muran's nerves were so tense that even Wu Xiulan could see that something was wrong with her. However, she thought that Si Muran was not used to such an environment, so she kindly asked Si Muran to go back to the residence to rest first. They could handle the matters in the restaurant.
Si Muran did not reject Wu Xiulan's good intentions. On the way back to the Sun residence, she had unknowingly walked to Pei Chenshuo's residence.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
