Chapter 858: Eat a Meal and Then Leave

land too, and we can't escape it either.""We can do as much as we can."She was not a saint, and even if she wanted to, she did not have the ability to save all the people of Xizhou.Zong Yu caressed F...Everything for the Hundred Vegetable Feast tomorrow is ready. Not only Fang Jinshi let out a sigh of relief, but the whole family did too.

Originally, Fang Jinshu planned to have her mother-in-law take Dong'er and Yuanbao to the estate for some fun and frolic. However, the two young children were too well-behaved. They didn't go to play but secretly helped out in places Fang Jinshu couldn't see.

Mu Shi today難得 discarded her those old and faded clothes, perhaps because she was happy, she dressed herself particularly young.

Under Fang Jinshi's careful care, her body was nourished with all sorts of precious, common, rare and uncommon herbs.

Spring water is the most natural nourishing skincare product. Therefore, although Mu's is middle-aged, she still looks graceful and charming, like a woman in her thirties.

Fang Jinxiu always wanted to let her mother-in-law wear something bright and eye-catching, to boost her confidence. Unfortunately, Mu Shi just wasn't that kind of person.

Today, I probably didn't want to embarrass Fang Jinshu in front of others, so I dressed up a little before going out with King Jing.

When her two grandsons got tired from helping, she took the two children to a gazebo by the creek to rest.

This place is a bit farther from the courtyard of the villa, but the air is good, and the little grandson can play here without disturbing others working.

Mrs. Mu sat in the gazebo, watching the two children. A faint smile was always on her face.

She was unaware that at this very moment, a pair of eyes were gazing at her with rapt attention, unable to look away, filled with astonishment.

"Dong'er, you hold onto Yuanbao and make him run slower, don't bump into anything."

“Although the stream is shallow, you still need to be careful not to fall in.”

What if you catch a cold again after your clothes get wet

Dong'er nodded hurriedly, but Yuanbao, that little rascal, was as nimble as a monkey. The faster his brother tried to catch him, the quicker he ran, giggling with delight.

As expected, tragedy struck.

Yùnbǎo's foot slipped, and with a splash, he fell into the stream.

They had just run to a deeper part of the stream where Yuanbao's feet couldn't reach the bottom. Mu and Dong'er instantly paled, their faces etched with worry as they hurried over.

"Jade Treasure!"

"Brother!"

Don't stand too close to the edge of the well. East got very close, nearly jumping into the water at once.

After jumping in, they finally grabbed onto each other. The two kids tumbled around but couldn't get their footing to climb up; instead, the current pushed them farther and farther away.

Dong'er only just remembered at this moment that he couldn't swim!

"Help, Grandma, save us."

Dong'er instinctively cried out, taking several gulps of stream water. But his other hand never faltered, keeping the treasure tightly held above the water's surface.

This posture was extremely difficult for an eight-year-old who couldn't swim.

Mu rushed over and picked up the long stick on the ground, wanting Dong'er to grab it, then pulled the person back.

The stick broke with a snap, without any explanation.

At this point, it would be too late to run back and get help for the two children.

Mu decisively prepared to jump down herself and pull the two children back.

She bet this creek wouldn't flood over her head.

Just as she was about to jump, suddenly a violent splash erupted on the surface of the stream. Someone had entered the water before her!

Who is it

Soon she saw the man jump into the water. He was a stranger to her. When Dong'er and Yuanbao were brought to safety, Mu shi rushed over and hugged her two children tightly.

"It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well."

"Grandma's little darling, let me take a look, are you alright Are you hurt anywhere"

Yuan Bao and Dong'er were thoroughly searched by Mu Shi, who was incredibly anxious.

Only when she confirmed that the two children were unharmed, just soaked through their clothes, did she let out a slight sigh of relief.

"My lady, rest assured. The children should be fine, just a bit shaken up."

"After you go back, give them some warming soup to drink for a few days, and they won't get sick."

"After all, the stream water is cold, and they are still young. Their bodies might retain a trace of chill."

Mrs. Mu only just then remembered the person who had saved the two children was still standing there. She hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank them.

"Thank you, young master. If it weren't for you today, my two grandsons would have been in a lot of trouble."

More than just enduring hardship, she was truly afraid that something might happen to her children. She would rather have herself meet with misfortune than see her children suffer.

The Mus politely expressed their gratitude again and again, being extremely courteous.

However, it made the man opposite him even more nervous.

"My lady, you are too kind. It was just a small effort, nothing at all."

Don't take it to heart.

Mu raised her head, and only then did she see the man's appearance. She was taken aback for a moment.

This man, although seemingly quite old, is remarkably handsome.

Men usually don't give off a cute vibe, but this one... Mu shi quickly collected herself, praising a man for being cute wasn't something pleasant to say.

"May I ask your honorable name, sir My daughter-in-law's estate is right here. If you wouldn't mind, come back with us to change into clean clothes and have a meal before we depart."erything changed.
