Sun Changjing frowned, stood up and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well." Zhuang Rongrong pretended to be in pain. "I think the wound affected my rainmaking. I'm sorry, Uncle City Lord."
Sun Changjing was getting impatient. "Didn't I already give you the best medicine? Besides, it's just a superficial injury, and didn't you make a vow to the Bodhisattva?"
Seeing that she couldn't intimidate him, Zhuang Rongrong panicked and simply rolled her eyes and fainted.
Qin clicked her tongue as she watched from the ground. "It happened the same way in our village last time. He kept begging and ended up vomiting blood, saying that the Bodhisattva wasn't home. In the end, he was struck by lightning!"
You Rong, who had just arrived, overheard this and asked curiously, "Sister Qin, the lightning didn't even do anything to harm her? Did she pray for rain at the end?"
"If you beg, then..."
Qin suddenly covered her mouth. If she were to tell anyone, wouldn't she be setting Zhuang Rongrong on the path to death?
Although she didn't like her, there was no need to kill her. Qin said apologetically, "I didn't know when I left. Just look at her behavior."
Qin's reaction made You Rong and Wen Sang understand perfectly. You Rong got up and said something to Sun Changjing, who immediately found all the doctors in the city to treat Zhuang Rongrong.
Wen Sang was very worried, "If Rongrong fails to pray for rain, the city lord will not let her off the hook. She is, after all, my adopted daughter..."
"Mother, she just denied it."
Chunxiang also said indignantly, "Madam, you are too kind-hearted. In my opinion, Zhuang Rongrong is not a good person. I will remember her for the rest of my life for refusing to stop the car to save you. She is a completely bad child."
Wen Sang sighed, but ultimately said nothing.
Zhou Erqian has already woken up.
He was surprised to find himself in Rongrong's room, but recalling the moment he fainted, seeing the blood on his clothes, and the rope, his eyes turned red with anger.
"Second brother, you're so foolish." Xie Yan shook his head. "Do you know that if it weren't for me and Sisi coming here, if it weren't for Sisi saving you, you would be dead?"
The little guy said in a soft, sweet voice, as if coaxing a child, "Don't be afraid, Erguoguo, it's all over now."
Zhou Erqian could no longer stop his tears. He lowered his head, as if he had suffered a major blow, repeating incredulously.
"I never expected... I never expected she would actually want to kill me. Back in Zhao Yuan's room, she threw a vase at me once, which I dodged. She even threw away the copper coin Sisi gave me, yes, that copper coin..."
Zhou Erqian held her in his arms, feeling even more disappointed.
"The copper coins are gone."
"I still have a lot." Sisi pulled out a handful of them. She didn't lack any of the incense-stained copper coins.
Zhou Erqian was dumbfounded. She actually took out a whole bunch of these life-saving gadgets.
What kind of heaven-defying existence is this?
He trembled as he tried to take one, but then he remembered that he often called her "brat" and treated her badly, and she must resent him as her older brother.
Thinking of this, Zhou Erqian no longer cared about being ashamed and sat on the bed crying loudly.
Sisi giggled, "Erguoguo is so big and still crying, how embarrassing."
"You...you..."
Zhou Erqian cried even louder. He treated her so badly, yet she still called him "Second Brother" so eagerly. Was she trying to make him feel guilty and regretful?
He felt extremely guilty and regretful.
Waaaaah!
Xie Yan had a headache. "Second brother, don't cry. Let's go. Mother is still waiting for you."
"Yes, yes, Rongrong's prayer for rain failed, she must have been punished. Let's go and see!"
The little guy dragged him outside.
"Is she praying for rain again? Can she even pray for rain?" Zhou Erqian asked, clearly noting that she hadn't managed to get rain last time.
"It's already failed. She relied on Erguotou to pray for rain, and she traded Erguotou's life for it."
As soon as the little guy finished speaking, the two brothers' expressions changed drastically. "Doesn't she have a Bodhisattva?"
Sisi glanced at the fool and said, "You guys really believe that thing is a Bodhisattva? What Bodhisattva can't be hidden in the light? Anyway, Sisi doesn't believe it."
The Bodhisattva is the embodiment of justice and purity, so how could she be hidden in a cloth all day long and have those wicked demands granted to her?
"How could she be so vicious!"
Xie Yan's eyes turned cold. "No wonder Brother Qiu Yu suddenly fell ill last time. It seems that was also her doing!"
"Was it through something she sent?"
Sisi gave Zhou Erqian a rewarding look and gave him a thumbs up, "Erguoguo has become smarter."
Zhou Erqian scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then said angrily, "No wonder she wanted to give us things before she left, but you were all smart enough not to take them, and now you've gotten me into trouble."
"Ha, who's to blame for covering it up so tightly?"
Xie Yan suddenly said something, and Zhou Erqian's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
The three of them walked to the altar, where Zhuang Rongrong was surrounded by doctors.
"That's strange. I felt her pulse and it was perfectly fine, so why hasn't she woken up yet?"
"Yes, although she vomited blood, she was suffering from a sudden attack of internal heat. I should have woken her up after giving her two acupuncture treatments."
"How strange! Could it be that it's been afflicted by some evil spirit?"
Sun Changjing's face was as black as coal. "Someone come here and bring a basin of water to wake her up!"
A servant brought over a basin of water, but Zhuang Rongrong didn't move an inch.
"What's going on? Why isn't she waking up?" Zhou Erqian frowned. "She's not faking it?"
Xie Yan looked down at Sisi, who was holding Xiaobai, the two of them whispering to each other with their heads close together.
"Little White, Little White, do you think the carp spirit is faking it? Why won't she wake up?"
—Because she's quite patient, she might be a ninja. Princess, I have a good idea: tickle the soles of her feet and she might wake up.
"Wow, Xiaobai, you're so smart."
Little White was beaming with pride after being praised, when suddenly it felt a sharp pain in its bottom—that old lady had plucked a feather from its tail!
Its tail feathers, which took tens of thousands of years to fully grow, were so beautiful and shiny, and then they were gone.
This bird is about to faint!
He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Xie Yan started swishing it again, saying, "Don't play dead, I just pulled a hair off you."
That's all?
It fumed, then shrank back when it met Xie Yan's eyes, thinking, "That's all, that's all, isn't that enough? Waaah!"
The little one ran up the altar with the feather in her hand, and You Rong quickly grabbed her, "Sweetie, what are you doing up here?"
"I want to see Rongrong."
"Is this Sisi?" Sun Changjing's gaze was drawn to her. This girl was younger than Rongrong and had an innocent look on her face.
The thought that she had gotten the lady pregnant with twins brought a slight smile to Sun Changjing's dark face.
"This little one really does look a bit like you and your mother. Wouldn't it be better to keep her by your side instead of letting her go back?"
You Rong rolled her eyes. "They're all mothers, but other people have their own mothers. Their own mothers wouldn't bear to part with them."
As the two were talking, Sisi, sitting on the altar, yanked off the carp spirit's shoe and then scratched it with a feather.
One of the doctors exclaimed excitedly, "She's frowning, sir!"
