"I saw her. She came looking for you, but you weren't there. I thought you went to the Zhou family's house, so I asked her to go there to look for you. You weren't at the Zhou family's house?" The villager was somewhat surprised.
"They went to the Zhou family's house?"
Zhuang Rongrong felt her head buzz and her vision go black. She wanted to scold him for meddling, but she didn't want to ruin her well-behaved image.
With a stiff face, he forced out a thank you and hurriedly ran towards the Zhou family's house.
We can't let the Zhou family be ruined this time!
The Zhou family was having dinner at that moment, sitting around the table in the courtyard, enjoying a harmonious time together.
The old lady steamed a pot of egg custard and was feeding Sisi little by little with a small spoon.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
A shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall, which was not yet fully built.
Qin Shi got up, puzzled, and muttered, "It's already dark, who's here again?"
"Madam?" Madam Qin gasped in surprise upon seeing the person who arrived. "Why have you come all this way?"
Wen Sang was very happy to see her and hurriedly got off the carriage to take her hand.
"I came looking for you. My carriage has just been found, so I came to thank you. You really are something, not even telling me your address, making me ask around for ages."
"How could I trouble you..."
"I won't stand for such polite words if you keep saying them."
"I won't say anything more, please come in."
The two held hands like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, and they got along very well.
As soon as Wen Sang invited the person in, she spotted Si Si, the little one, eating a chicken cake.
The little guy's cheeks were puffed out like a hamster's, and there were egg crumbs on his pink lips. The more you looked at him, the more adorable he became.
The thought that such a soft and adorable little dumpling could also summon rain made Wen Sang's heart melt even more.
She called softly, "Sisi!"
Hey, who's calling her again?
Sisi looked up, her eyes lighting up, "Auntie."
"Oh my, Sisi has such a sweet tongue." This compliment from Auntie made Wen Sang beam with joy.
The old lady was puzzled. "This lady is..."
Qin introduced, “This is a lady I met on the road. Madam, this is my mother, my eldest son, my second son, and my fifth son. Sisi is my youngest daughter.”
She introduced them one by one, and everyone became quite reserved when such an important person came to their home.
"Thanks to my elder sister and Sisi, otherwise I would have died on the road today and no one would have known. I will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life."
"Such a thing actually happened?" The old lady looked at Madam Qin, who nodded, somewhat embarrassed.
"A passerby encountered this lady asking for help and offered assistance, but who knew she would come looking for him again."
Wen Sang smiled and said, "Then of course I have to come find you. I really need to thank you and Sisi properly."
“Come here, Sisi, my darling, come to Auntie.” She opened her arms to Sisi.
Sisi obediently snuggled into her arms, took a deep sniff, and not only smelled the scent of the dragon race, but also a hint of the scent of the carp spirit.
yeah?
Did the carp spirit have contact with Auntie?
"Sisi, just tell your aunt what you want. As long as your aunt can afford it, your aunt will give it to you."
Wen Sang really adored this little guy; she wished he were her daughter.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered what the villager had said: the village chief intended for the Zhou family to adopt Rongrong.
Rongrong might be Sisi's original name. Since Sisi is an orphan, wouldn't she be able to...?
Wen Sang came up with the idea of adopting the little guy.
She figured that since her older sister's family wasn't wealthy and she had so many children to support, she would definitely agree.
"Little one, do you like Auntie?" Wen Sang whispered in her ear, her face close to hers.
Sisi nodded vigorously, "I like Auntie."
Wen Sang was even happier.
She gestured for Chunxiang to take out the prepared silver, saying, "Elder sister, this is a small token of my gratitude to you and Sisi for saving our lives."
Qin waved her hand haphazardly, "No, no, no, it doesn't need money, it's just a small favor."
"No, you have to accept it. It's what you and Sisi deserve. If you don't accept it, I'll take Sisi away."
Qin Shi was unwilling to let Sisi be taken away, so she hurriedly accepted the silver, saying, "Then I'll take it."
Upon a cursory glance, she discovered there were several hundred taels of silver. Qin Shi immediately felt as if she had taken a hot potato and quickly placed it on the table.
She knew that her older sister was also reluctant to part with the little guy because she picked him up so quickly. It made sense; no one would be willing to part with such a cute little guy.
Just as it was time to eat, Madam Qin invited her, her servant, and the coachman to stay and have some home-cooked food.
Just as Wen Sang was about to tell her about adopting the little guy, someone suddenly barged into the yard.
"Rongrong?" Zhou Erqian was the first to get up and run over, asking worriedly, "Where did you go? I looked for you but couldn't find you. I thought you had disappeared."
Zhuang Rongrong was bent over, panting heavily. When she saw the nobleman sitting at the table, holding Sisi, with a gentle and kind smile, her resentment grew stronger.
It's Zhou Sisi again!
He repeatedly ruined her plans!
"Rongrong, your eyes are so scary..."
Zhou Erqian was puzzled. How could she have changed like this as soon as she came back? Her eyes looked like she hated someone.
Zhuang Rongrong woke up with a start, quickly composed herself, and gave a pale smile, "I'm fine, Brother Erqian, I'm sorry for scaring you."
When Zhou Erqian saw her smile, he didn't pay attention to what had just happened and pulled her to the dining table, saying, "Sit down and have something to eat."
"It's you?" Wen Sang was somewhat surprised. She grabbed Qin Shi's arm. "Elder sister, do you two know each other?"
Madam Qin laughed and said, "We're from the same village. Rongrong is really pitiful. She just lost her mother not long ago, and her house collapsed. She has nowhere to live."
"What did you say her name was?"
Wen Sang and Chun Xiang both raised their voices.
Zhuang Rongrong's heart was pounding. She knew that her identity as a "goddess" was about to be discovered by a noble person.
Qin was taken aback, and stammered, "Rongrong, is something wrong?"
Of course that's wrong.
Wen Sang's voice rose slightly, "Isn't Rongrong Sisi's former name? How could Rongrong be her?"
"That's right, how could the goddess be her?" Chunxiang couldn't believe it either.
The smugness that was about to surface on Zhuang Rongrong's face shattered completely, inch by inch. Her body stiffened, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Why can't the goddess be her?
Madam Qin was even more confused. "What goddess? Sisi has always been called Sisi. Rongrong and Sisi are two different people. Madam, are you misunderstanding something?"
Wen Sang calmed down and realized that Si Si was not a goddess, but Rong Rong was. It was Rong Rong, not Si Si, who could pray for rain.
Looking at Rongrong's stiff face, she felt very awkward. Why wasn't Sisi a goddess?
If Sisi were a goddess, then she could take Sisi back to help cure Yuan'er's illness and also make it rain in Wuzhou City. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Given the current situation, she can only choose one of them.
