Wang Manni's indifferent attitude greatly surprised Wang Manshi and her daughter.

But this matter had nothing to do with them after all; what they cared about was the marriage alliance with the Sikong family.

After some casual conversation, Wang Manshi still asked tactfully, "Sister, didn't you tell me last time that Brother Shangguan's family and the Sikong family wanted to form a marriage alliance? Is that true?"

“That’s right, they do have that plan.” Wang Manni was a little surprised when her younger sister asked about it.

"Has anyone been chosen as my brother-in-law yet?" Wang Manshi and her daughter both became nervous.

I was afraid Wang Manni would say, "Yes, but it's not them."

Fortunately, Wang Manni did not give that answer.

“The Shangguan family only has one son per generation, where can they find a daughter to marry into the Sikong family?” Wang Manni said with a sigh.

Unfortunately, she only had one son after being married into the Shangguan family for so long.

Therefore, the marriage alliance with the Sikong family may have to be called off.

Just as she was thinking this, Wang Manshi suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Wang Manni with a thud.

The latter was startled and jumped up to stand aside.

"Shishi, what do you mean by this?" Although Wang Manni had always lived the life of a wealthy lady, she was not someone who couldn't distinguish between right and wrong.

Her own sister was so frightened that she knelt down; she couldn't bear that.

After saying that, she wanted to help the person up, but Wang Manshi refused, saying anxiously, "Sister, I have never asked you for anything."

There's only one thing I need your help with.

Look, there aren't any suitable girls in Shangguan's family, but your nephew Yan'er happens to like men from the Sikong family and wants to marry into it.

Do you think it would be possible for my daughter Yan'er to become your goddaughter and marry into the Sikong family?

If you want Yan'er to change her name, that's fine too, as long as she can marry into the Sikong family and marry the man she wants.

As a mother, I can give up everything.

Wang Manshi's words deeply touched Wang Manni.

Looking back ten years ago, she had also knelt down before her parents in the same way.

Later, she married Shangguan Leiting as she had wished.

Now, her own sister is actually kneeling before her for the sake of her daughter's happiness.

I was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Shishi, get up first! This isn't something I can decide; it mainly depends on whether your brother-in-law agrees." Wang Manni helped her up without expressing any objection.

Seeing that things were looking promising, Wang Manshi immediately stood up, took Wang Manni's hand, and the two sat down again.

Finally, the two sisters reached a consensus: as long as Shangguan Leiting did not object, they would recognize Gong Yan'er as their goddaughter and let her marry into the Sikong family.

Not satisfied with the satisfactory answer, Wang Manshi and her daughter went to visit Sikong's house again.

Of course, given their status, they would never be allowed to enter the Sikong family's residence.

But they can stake out the location!

People from the Sikong family don't appear often. Their servants are probably always taking out the trash, buying groceries, and so on!

Perhaps it was fate that helped them, because the mother and daughter didn't have to squat for long.

Then I saw a maid taking out the trash.

The mother and daughter were overjoyed and started pulling and tugging at the maid.

In the end, it was only through money that the servant was persuaded.

Tell her to go to the Sikong family and spread the word about the Song Qingqing sisters.

Several photocopied photos were also distributed along with the photos.

It was these photos that led Sikong Xinghai to discover Sikong Xingchen.

"You actually developed feelings for a spoiled, country bumpkin? Sikong Xingchen, it seems you don't want to be the head of the family anymore." Sikong Xinghai took the photo and went to Master Sikong's study. When he came out, he curled his lips.

These are things that Song Qingqing could never have imagined.

Just then, she and the unlucky guy found a small village and, shamelessly, asked an old woman for some food.

Only then did the two begin to gather information.

"Auntie, where is this?" Song Qingqing asked in surprise, thinking she was hard of hearing.

“I told you that this is a remote mountain valley in Qingcheng. If you want to get to Qingcheng, you need to go to the town first, then take a bus to the county seat, and then drive from the county seat to Qingcheng.”

When the older woman heard that Song Qingqing and her companion had been swept away by the river, she felt great sympathy for them.

You should know that they live in the most remote mountain valley in Qingcheng, without exception.

It's fate that they were able to drift here.

"So, if we want to get back to Huangcheng, it will take at least three or four days?"

Song scratched her head, wondering if Kong Rong and the others were alright.

"Three days? You're dreaming! It'll take at least five days." The older woman wasn't exactly reserved; she immediately poured cold water on Song Qingqing's enthusiasm. "Besides, even if you get to town today, there won't be any cars left."

There is only one bus a day from the town to the county seat, which is at 10:00 AM.

It's already nine o'clock; even if you flew, you couldn't reach the town.

"......" Why is this old lady bringing out one basin after another!

Song sighed softly and sat down on a large rock.

"Auntie, if that's the case, could we stay at your house for the night?"

"I'll trade you this jade piece I have, okay?" The unlucky fellow's money had all been washed away by the water.

Now that he was penniless and had no other choice, he had to take out the jade pendant around his neck to exchange for it.

The older woman glanced at it, and hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Song Qingqing rummaged through her clothes, took out the money that had been soaked in water from inside her clothes, and handed it to the old woman, saying, "Two meals and accommodation, is one hundred yuan enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough, that's more than enough." The old lady had never seen so much money before.
