Back then, Zhou Xiaoli did not tell Zhang Yan her name and address because she did not think that Zhang Yan would come looking for her.

However, she did not expect her to come looking for her indeed. Zhou Xiaoli was very surprised.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, had stepped forward in excitement and grabbed

Zhou Xiaoli’s hand. “Sister, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

At this moment, Zhang Lan, Zhou Yu, and the others heard the commotion and walked out.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, he was a little puzzled. “Li’er, who is

“Father, Mother, this is Lady Zhao,” Zhou Xiaoli quickly introduced.

Zhang Yan hurriedly went forward to greet Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu and briefly explained how Zhou Xiaoli had saved her son. “Sister Zhou is my son’s savior.

Don’t call me Lady Zhao, just call me Yan’er.”

Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu did not dare to do so, so they called her Lady Zhao.

Zhang Yan did not insist. Instead, she ordered her servants to bring down many gifts from the carriage.

The people looking on were envious.

Especially Lai Jinniang, who came secretly to spy. Her eyes were red with jealousy.

Seeing that there were so many gifts being brought into the house, Zhou Xiaoli auicklv refused.

“It was a piece of cake for me to save him back then. Lady Zhao, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Zhang Yan said, “It’s nothing to you, but it’s a life-saving favor to me. I think these gifts are too little. Don’t refuse anymore.”

“I’m a few years older than you. If you don’t mind, call me sister. From now on, we’ll call each other sisters.”

Since the other party had said so, Zhou Xiaoli could not say anything, so she could only agree, “Then I’ll call you Sister Zhang.”

Zhang Yan was happy. “That’s right.”

As she spoke, she said to the old woman beside her, “Quickly carry Brother An down to meet his savior.”

The old woman at the side agreed and got into the carriage. After a while, she walked down with a baby.

“Brother An, quickly thank your aunt.”

The little fellow didn’t know how to speak yet, but when he saw Zhou Xiaoli, he began to babble. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes curved into crescents. She teased the little fellow for a while before leading them into the house.

On the other side, when Ji Guizhi saw the bags of gifts being carried into the house, her eyes widened and the greed in her eyes could not be concealed.

“I didn’t expect the Zhou family to know such a rich person!”

When Ji Guizhi saw Zhou Xiaoli bring in a rich woman, she was so excited that she pulled her grandson and prepared to run over.

“Let’s go and talk to your cousin!”

However, before she could leave the table, someone blocked her line of sight.

She looked up and saw a handsome man. However, his abnormal eyes carried a terrifying warning. The cold aura around him made her legs and stomach tremble.

Although Ji Guizhi was not from Boyu Village, she had heard that there was a living King of Hell in Boyu Village who ate people without blinking. He had a pair of strange eyes.

She immediately grabbed her grandson tightly and sat down, not daring to move another inch.

Zhou Xiaoli gave Wei Chiyu a grateful look and led Zhang Yan into the main hall.

As Zhang Yan had come to express her gratitude to Zhou Xiaoli, she did not sit down at the table to eat.

Instead, Zhou Xiaoli drank tea and chatted with her in the room.

As they chatted, the two of them realized that they hit it off very well. They joked that they regretted not meeting sooner.

Zhou Xiaoli also liked Brother An very much, so she took him from the nanny’s arms and hugged him to tease him.

Brother An seemed to have sensed something. He did not cry at all when Zhou Xiaoli hugged him. Instead, he giggled.

“Brother An likes his sister very much,’

Zhang Yan smiled and said, “Usually, at home, other than the nanny and me, he doesn’t allow anyone to carry him.”

The wet nurse smiled and said, “Brother An is smart. He knows that Miss Zhou is kind -hearted.”

Zhang Yan sighed. “Poor my Brother An. He’s at home, but he’s not as at ease as when he’s outside.”

After that, Zhou Xiaoli gained a rough understanding of her situation from Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan’s husband’s family was of a noble family lineage, the Zhao family. The current head of the family was the nephew of the late emperor. Although he was of the Imperial Family’s bloodline, the emperor did not like him and sent him to the remote Qingzhou prefecture to be a training envoy.

Her husband was the eldest son in the family, and her mother-in-law was the second wife. She had another pair of children, a boy and a girl.

Even without saying the rest, Zhou Xiaoli could roughly guess the rest of the story.

Now that the second wife had her own son, she wanted more. As the eldest son, he became a stumbling block in her path.

There was no need to mention anything else.

Zhang Yan continued, “My husband has been weak and sickly since he was young. Over the years, he became seriously ill and couldn’t get out of bed. A few days ago, when you saw me, I had gone to my maiden family’s temple to ask for a safety talisman for my husband.”

When Zhang Yan mentioned her husband, there seemed to be stars in her eyes. It could be seen that the two of them were very loving.

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but say, “You two must be very loving.”

Zhang Yan’s ears turned red as she nodded. “Yes, my husband and I were childhood sweethearts. Now that he’s sick on the bed, Brother An is his only bloodline. Therefore, I’m really grateful that you saved my son.”

“And this time, I have a presumptuous request. I want to ask you to help save my husband.”

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Xiaoli and hurriedly said, “It’s ok if you don’t agree to it. I won’t force you. The main thing is that I’m at my wits’ end now and I’m willing to try any method.”

Towards the end, Zhang Yan’s expression dimmed.

If it were any other time, Zhou Xiaoli would have refused. However, she and Zhang Yan hit it off at first sight, so she had the intention to help. Hence, she nodded.

Zhang Yan immediately perked up. “It’s great that you can come!”

Zhou Xiaoli continued, “However, I can’t guarantee that I can cure your husband’s illness. I have to see your husband’s condition first before making a decision.”

Zhang Yan was nonetheless very happy. She nodded quickly. “It’s okay, it’s

okay. I’m very happy that you agreed to help me.”

The two of them chatted for a while more. After agreeing to visit in two days, Zhang Yan bade farewell and left.

After sending Zhang Yan off, their family’s housewarming banquet was almost over.

Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu sent the guests off one after another.

At this moment, Liu Yuanyuan suddenly came to Zhou Xiaoli’s side and whispered, “Be careful of your Second Grandmother. I just heard her talking at the table. She seems to be here to ask your family for money.”

Ever since the kidnapping incident, Liu Yuanyuan’s attitude towards her had changed.

She even apologized to her solemnly a few days ago and sought her forgiveness.

Regarding this, Zhou Xiaoli smiled and didn’t say anything. She didn’t have much feelings for Liu Yuanyuan to begin with, so there was nothing that she would or would not forgive.

However, Liu Yuanyuan took her silence as she had forgiven her and wanted to form a closer relationship with her.

Hearing her warning, Zhou Xiaoli glanced at Ji Guizhi, who sat there and was unwilling to move her butt, and nodded. “Thank you, I understand.”

“Hehe, don’t stand on ceremony with me.” Liu Yuanyuan smiled and followed Lin Xiujuan home.

Finally, other than her uncle’s family who remained chatting with Zhang Lan, all the other guests left.

Oh, and Ji Guizhi, who still remained sitting down.

“Aiyo, look, look, this brother and sister are really close! Did you think about who raised them? How ungrateful of them to leave their uncle and aunt alone when they are all grown up.”

Now that the banquet was over, Zhang Lan was not afraid that Ji Guizhi would ruin the atmosphere at the banquet, so she did not indulge her at all.

“Aunt, I respect you as an elder, so I call you Aunt. Back then, when you sold me to the Zhou family and chased my brother out of the house, we had already broken off our relationship.”

“Since you’re here alone today, I’ll treat you well as a guest and I think I have done more than enough.. Now that the banquet is over, aren’t you leaving?
