Chapter 172 Why is he here?
Shen Ruolan was grateful that her grandfather always cared about her. However, she hesitated for a moment about the matter of entering the Shen family tree, and said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, I think we should forget about this. Their father's identity is not simple. If he knew about it, I'm afraid he would not let it go."
Shen Qi said indifferently: "Why are you afraid of him? If he dares to cause trouble for you, I will break his legs."
Shen Ruolan still insisted on refusing, "I feel uneasy about this, and the Shen family members may not agree."
She didn't want her children to be included in the Shen family tree for two reasons. One was because of Jiang Dichen. She really didn't dare to slap him in the face without any bottom line, otherwise she and the children would have no way to survive.
Secondly, she didn't want her two children to be included in the Shen family tree without proper reason. Now that they are protected by their grandfather and uncles, others probably won't say anything. But if her uncles and grandfather are old, then what should her children and future generations do?
What's more, she can set up a Shen family tree for her children on her own, and there is no need to interfere with her grandfather's family.
Seeing that his granddaughter was unwilling, Shen Qi stopped forcing her and started playing with the two children.
Uncle Shen saw his father giving gifts to his two grandchildren. He patted his head and said to Shen Ruolan with embarrassment, "Lan'er, uncle didn't know your situation, so he didn't prepare anything when he came."
He did have quite a few top-quality elixirs with him, but it was New Year's Day and it was unlucky to give them to children, so he didn't want to take them out.
Shen Ruolan said to her uncle: "Uncle, we are very happy that you can come and celebrate the New Year with us. Besides, the children are still young and don't need anything now."
"Hey," Uncle Shen responded awkwardly.
There are many taboos on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and many things cannot be done. It was a rare free day, and the weather was good, so Shen Ruolan took her two children to take a walk down the mountain.
Ji Han and his sister followed closely behind, along with Shi Gu and Liu Gu. Originally, Shen Jing wanted to follow as well, but Shen Ruolan asked him to stay at home and guard the warehouse.
Ji Ning's body has improved a lot under Shen Ruolan's care, especially after Shen Ruolan taught her to practice health-preserving exercises. Now she can run a long lap without getting out of breath. She hugged little An He and said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, the young lady seems to have gained weight. She is heavier than before when I hold her."
Shen Ruolan looked back at her little daughter and smiled at Ji Ning, "Of course, children change every day before they are one year old. They grow up very fast."
Ji Ning smiled and said, "Yes, in a few years, our little lady will become a great beauty."
After hearing what Ji Ning said, Shen Ruolan smiled silently. As for her daughter's appearance, she thought it would be better for her to be more ordinary.
After all, in this world where men are superior to women, it is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful.
The master and his servants walked and chatted along the wasteland by the river, and before they knew it, they had walked out of the village.
Just when they were about to turn around and go back, a few strangers suddenly appeared at the mouth of the valley opposite them, which made Shen Ruolan and her servants stop instantly.
Ji Han hesitated for a moment and said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, I will go over and take a look."
Shen Ruolan was silent for a moment, then said to Ji Han, "Well, if they are not from other villages, let them go back to where they came from."
"Yes," Ji Han said, and flew towards the person opposite.
Soon, Ji Han stopped in front of the group. He looked at them expressionlessly and asked, "Excuse me, who are you? What can I do for you in Laifu Village?"
Jiang Dichen led his subordinates to work day and night. After ten days of frantic travel, they finally arrived at Nanshan. Seeing that they were stopped as soon as they entered the mountain, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the wasteland not far away, and asked him, "Is this Fuzhai?"
Ji Han said to Jiang Dichen in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "That's right."
Jiang Dichen heard that this was Fu Village, and he said to Ji Han, "I have something to ask your village chief."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ji Han's consent and walked past him.
Yan Mo and the others hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the other party was so unreasonable, Ji Han directly drew out his big knife and flew forward to attack Jiang Dichen.
However, before he even touched Jiang Dichen, Yan Mo and Jing Yun stopped him from getting close to Jiang Dichen. They said to him, "My master is only here to talk to your village leader about something, not to eat you. Why are you so nervous?"
Ji Han said to them with a dark face: "My master is busy and has no time to see you."
After saying that, he started fighting with Yan Mo again.
Seeing that Ji Han's martial arts skills were just so-so, Jing Yun left him to Yan Mo, and hurriedly followed his master with his other companions.
Jing Yun came to his master. He pointed to the wasteland not far away and said to his master: "Master, look, those wastelands have just been dug. I estimated that the fields, big and small, are at least about a thousand acres."
Jiang Dichen looked in the direction his subordinates had said, and saw that it was just as they had said. This made him curious about the village leader Shen. What kind of brilliant person would think of coming here to open up wasteland?
Also, could this so-called Village Master Shen be her?
Jiang Dichen walked forward while looking at the wasteland around him. Suddenly, several figures came into his sight. He paused for a moment, and then he walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Shen Ruolan had been keeping an eye on Ji Han's movements. Seeing that he was entangled by someone, she became a little anxious. Just when she wanted to send someone back to ask her uncle for help, she suddenly saw who was coming from the opposite side, and she was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly.
Although the two were far apart, Shen Ruolan recognized him at a glance.
Looking at the person who was getting closer and closer to her, Shen Ruolan said in despair, "Why is he here?"
Seeing that her master was startled, Ji Ning glanced at the person who came from the opposite side and asked her doubtfully, "Master, do you know each other?"
In Ji Ning's eyes, their master was not only brave but also wise. She could handle both powerful people and humble people with ease. She had never seen her lose her composure like this.
After Shen Ruolan heard Ji Ning's question, she took a deep breath and said to Ji Ning: "I don't know him."
After saying this, she instructed Aunt Liu behind her, "Aunt Liu, go back and tell Grandpa and Uncle that I have been staying in another room for the past few days. If anyone wants to see me, tell them that I have left the mountain."
After Shen Ruolan instructed Aunt Liu, she told Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, give the child to Aunt Shi, and run back to prepare some clothes for me and the child in the warehouse. I will ask Aunt Shi to come and get them at night."
"Yes, master." Ji Ning and Liu Gu answered in unison.
After Ji Ning finished speaking, she handed the child to Shi Gu, and walked back with Liu Gu, one in front and one behind.
