What did you call me?
You Ran tilted her head playfully and said, "Isn't your name Zhou Erqian? Isn't it right to call you Brother Erqian?"
So that's how it is. Zhou Erqian's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down. He had thought...
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sneer. That person brought it on himself and is probably dead by now.
"Yes, no problem."
She smiled, "Does Brother Erqian have someone he likes? Where is she now? Is she doing well?"
A flicker of pain crossed Zhou Erqian's eyes. "I don't have anyone I like. Miss You, we've pretty much seen everything in the manor. We..."
"What about Zhuang Rongrong? Don't you like her anymore?"
Zhou Erqian was interrupted when this name suddenly appeared. He looked up sharply and asked, "How do you know Zhuang Rongrong?"
The person in front of them lifted their veil, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Zhuang Rongrong. Unfortunately, her face had been disfigured by a snake bite, and now it no longer resembled her.
"Brother Erqian, doesn't this look familiar?"
"you…"
Zhuang Rongrong moved closer to him, "My face can only recover to this state now, Brother Erqian, do you know how much pain I've been in these past few days?"
"Are you Rongrong?"
Zhou Erqian was pale. Wasn't she You Rong's niece? How could she be Rongrong?
Zhuang Rongrong didn't try to hide it. "Yes, I am Zhuang Rongrong, the Zhuang Rongrong who has been hurt all over by you."
How did you come to be You Ran?
She didn't care. "Youran is really dead. She just happens to look like me. I'm just a substitute. What does it matter?"
"How did she die?" Zhou Erqian subconsciously assumed that Zhuang Rongrong had killed her, and his tone was somewhat angry.
"What do you mean? Do you think I killed her?" Zhuang Rongrong sneered. "Their whole family died of the plague, what does that have to do with me?"
However, the plague was somewhat related to her.
Zhou Erqian clenched his fist. "Then what are you doing here? What is your purpose in impersonating You Ran?"
"Zhou Sisi hurt me so badly, of course I'm here for revenge!" She laughed happily. "Brother Erqian, please help me, okay?"
Zhou Erqian was furious. "You're not allowed to hurt Sisi!"
Zhuang Rongrong's face turned cold. "I won't be at peace until she's dead. Zhou Erqian, you forced me to do this."
In an instant, a wisp of black energy suddenly emerged from her body and swiftly entered Zhou Erqian's head.
"Brother Erqian, please help me kill Zhou Sisi."
Zhou Erqian heard these words in a daze. He felt trapped and unable to break free, so he could only obediently nod.
Zhou Sisi, your time has come.
...
The village chief negotiated a high price with the owner of the grain shop in town. In the past, it was one hundred copper coins per catty, but now he offered two hundred copper coins per catty, which was double the price.
The villagers were overjoyed; this harvest brought them several hundred taels of silver more than usual.
As the weather grew hotter, it was time to harvest the grain. With only three able-bodied people in the family, it was simply not enough to keep up with the harvest. Moreover, Cui Cui's family also had land, and her father, being alone, had to help out. So, Qin sent a letter asking Zhou Erqian to come back and work.
That day, Zhou Dawei and Xu Cuicui were sitting at the edge of the field watching Li Yu and Zhang Xiaohua fight. The couple fought from one end of the field to the other, all for this little bit of grain.
"They've been fighting for two days already. If they had this much energy, they could have finished harvesting the grain by now. I really don't know what they're fighting for."
Zhou Dawei said calmly, "Li Yu didn't believe there were locusts at first. The Li family's land was completely eaten up, while the Zhang family's land was fine. Of course, he was envious. Zhang Xiaohua was unwilling to give him the land, so the two of them definitely fought."
Xu Cuicui looked around. "There are so many people in the field. Aren't they just making a fool of themselves?"
"Never mind them." Zhou Dawei squeezed her hand, feeling a pang of heartache when he saw the calluses on her palm. "You've worked hard. Once Erqian comes back, you can quit."
Although Xu Cuicui was tired, she felt sweet inside. "It's okay, the sooner I finish, the easier it will be."
"Dawei, hurry home, Erqian is back!" Qin called out as she rushed home.
I haven't seen that brat in so long, I wonder what he looks like now.
Sisi was leaning against the window watching Zhou Erqian, who was driving the carriage back. He not only came back alone, but also brought someone with him.
He stayed hidden in the carriage and wouldn't get off.
"Fifth Brother, guess who Second Brother brought back? Could it be Rongrong?"
Xie Yan said calmly, "If it really is her, Mother and Grandmother will not let them in. If Second Brother were that stupid, he could have been kicked out directly."
Little White flew over after circling the sedan chair: "Princess, I can't sense the presence of the person inside, but the aura is very malevolent, like someone from the demon realm."
People from the Demon Realm?
Sisi cupped her little head and looked at the Great Demon King. Could it be that people from the Demon Realm have come to see the Great Demon King?
But that doesn't make sense. How could people from the Demon Realm have anything to do with Erguoguo? Erguoguo doesn't know anyone from the Demon Realm.
Xiao Bai was very vigilant. If the people from the Demon Realm came, the princess would definitely be in great danger. That Demon King had once boasted that he would eat the Dragon Princess!
Princess, Xiaobai will definitely protect you.
"Erqian, the tea is here. Come over quickly. After lunch, you can go harvest wheat with your older brother." The old lady smiled and brought over the tea.
Zhou Erqian's face was as cold and hard as stone. He stood beside the sedan chair like a pillar. "No need."
The old lady found it strange, "You child, I've been calling you for ages, why haven't you come over yet? What are you doing standing there, it's so hot."
"Go."
A light, airy voice came from inside the sedan chair. Zhou Erqian, as if obeying a command, sat stiffly in the courtyard and began to drink tea.
"Hey, is there someone else in the sedan chair?"
