NOVPUBShen Roujia was still probing, trying to fully understand the situation, and many things needed to be carefully sorted out. She wasn’t in a rush, so she decided to let them completely trust her.
Shen Roujia wanted to stay in control, not be forced into taking action passively.
With this in mind, she smiled slightly and said, “Brother Tu Lie, no need to be so polite. If I truly need help, I won’t hesitate to ask.”
Her words gave Tu Lie some face, though she didn’t make any firm commitments.
As she turned around, Shen Roujia noticed an elderly woman slowly approaching, her steps unsteady and labored.
Shen Roujia raised her eyebrows and glanced at Liang Yutang with some curiosity.
Liang Yutang explained, “Nanny Nong was driven out of the Shen family and later suffered some injuries.”
Shen Roujia’s expression immediately softened with sympathy, feeling a pang of sorrow.
“Nanny Nong.”
Nanny Nong’s eyes were dazed when she first saw Shen Roujia, but soon her gaze brightened, and she tightly grasped Shen Roujia’s hand.
“Is it really you, young miss? Am I not mistaken? I never thought I’d see you again in this lifetime.”
Shen Roujia smiled and nodded, “Yes, it’s me. Have you been well all these years?”
Nanny Nong’s eyes filled with tears as she nodded, “As long as the young master and young miss are doing well, I’m content, even if I spend my days chanting prayers.”
Shen Roujia didn’t waste time and immediately brought up the important matter. “Nanny Nong, I’m not here on a whim. I’ve come in secret, without the knowledge of my friends from the martial world. Time is short.”
“I’ll be straightforward.”
Nanny Nong nodded and glanced instinctively at Liang Yutang, as if unsure of what was happening.
