Sun Changjing turned his head, and Sisi tickled her again. Zhuang Rongrong couldn't help but curl up and laugh.
"She's awake, she's awake."
"Why did he wake up so easily? Or was he just faking it to fool us?"
"Why didn't you wake up when I gave you the acupuncture? How can you endure that?"
Hearing the gossip around her, Zhuang Rongrong knew she couldn't hide it anymore. She gritted her teeth and opened her eyes. When she saw Sisi holding the feather, she knew it was Sisi tickling her feet.
It was Zhou Sisi who ruined her plans again!
"Why are you pretending when you've been awake the whole time?"
Sun Changjing's words were filled with anger.
"I wasn't pretending." Zhuang Rongrong lay on the ground and cried bitterly. "I don't know what happened to me just now. I wasn't pretending, City Lord, please believe me."
She cried with tears streaming down her face as if she had suffered a great injustice, which made Sun Changjing even more impatient with a stern face.
"Alright, stop worrying about this. Now that you're awake, hurry up and pray for rain. I don't want to waste my time with you."
How can you pray for rain?
Everything has been interrupted. Zhou Erqian must have been rescued, and she has no way to summon rain anymore.
Her plan was flawless, so why was Zhou Erqian still rescued?
Zhuang Rongrong looked up and immediately saw the person below the stage, whose eyes were full of anger and disappointment.
Yes, he had long been disappointed in her.
Lord Yucheng will not let her go if she cannot get what she wants.
Zhuang Rongrong knelt on the ground in despair, her hands clasped together numbly, as if beginning a new round of rain-seeking rituals.
This time, she tried for almost half an hour, but there was no movement in the sky.
"what is going on?"
Sun Changjing roared angrily.
Zhuang Rongrong closed her eyes, her face pale, and said, "The Bodhisattva isn't home, so it won't rain today."
"Not home, not home again! Do you think I'm a three-year-old who's easy to fool?" Sun Changjing stepped forward and lifted her up. "I told you, this is your last chance!"
"What I'm saying is..."
"Enough!"
Zhuang Rongrong fell to the ground, her physical injuries were painful, but not nearly as painful as her heartache.
Why?
Why is it so unfair to her?
Everything she had worked so hard to achieve was about to be completely destroyed today.
"You don't even know how to pray for rain, do you? You've been lying to us all along, haven't you?"
Zhuang Rongrong looked lifeless and couldn't say a word.
Sun Changjing would be a fool if he still didn't understand. He suddenly kicked the red cloth bundle to the ground, and Zhuang Rongrong crawled over in terror, crying, "No, no!"
If anything inside breaks, she will have nothing left. Zhuang Rongrong hurriedly checked everything and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
"Guards! Throw this liar in Youchun Alley and let that old woman take good care of her!"
After angrily finishing his speech, Sun Changjing turned and left.
"What kind of place is Youchun Lane?" Zhuang Rongrong asked, confused.
You Rong looked down at him and said, "It's a place that specifically takes in beggars, and the matrons there are very strict."
Zhuang Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was alive, there was hope.
She will come back; she will stand at the top.
Wen Sang couldn't bear to deceive You Rong like this, so she told the truth, "Youchun Lane is a place that specializes in training young children. The methods are extremely cruel. The head of the house, Granny Fang, is even more ruthless. Children under her care will not live for more than three days. The city lord is too cruel."
Zhuang Rongrong froze, then quickly realized what was happening and knelt in front of You Rong with a panicked expression. "Madam, Madam, please, Rongrong knows she was wrong, Rongrong knows she was wrong. Rongrong will pray for rain. It was all her fault that ruined Rongrong's plans."
She pointed at Sisi and blurted out, "Kill her! She's an evil spirit! If you kill her, I'll definitely be able to get rain! Madam, kill her..."
Snap!
You Rong slapped her hard across the face and said coldly, "You actually dare to put Sisi down? If you don't have the ability, don't blame others. Men, take her away immediately!"
Two servants rushed forward and supported her.
"No, I'm not going to Youchun Lane!"
"Mother, Mother, it's me, Rongrong, your goddaughter! Mother, Mother, please save me! Please save me! I promise I'll do my best to be filial to you, Mother!"
Wen Sang couldn't bear it and wanted to step forward, but Zhao Yuan grabbed her arm. "Mother, this is all his own fault. Besides, she just denied her relationship with you."
Now they're yelling for their mother, where were they before?
Wen Sang had no choice but to give up.
Zhuang Rongrong was in despair. She saw Zhou Erqian again. "Brother Erqian, I know I was wrong. Please save me! Brother Erqian! Brother Erqian! Aunt Qin, please save me! Please save me!"
Qin spat, "Ask us to save you? You just told Sisi to die, who do you think you are? Why should I save you?"
Zhou Erqian also turned his head away from her.
Her heart-wrenching cries gradually faded away, and Zhou Erqian finally opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"What are you crying for? You're spineless!" Qin glared at him. "Hurry up and pack your things and come back with me. Come back after your older brother's wedding. If you dare to sneak off to save Rongrong, I'll break your legs!"
Zhou Erqian shook his head; he would never do it again.
"Oh, what a disappointment. I was hoping this rain would save the people of Wuzhou," Lan'er sighed.
You Rong sneered, "She fooled us all. It's good enough that she didn't die immediately."
Wen Sang also sighed heavily, "If it doesn't rain in Wuzhou, we ordinary people won't be able to survive."
Sisi frowned and reached out to tug at You Rong's clothes. "Mother You, do you all want it to rain heavily?"
With a gentle smile, she said, "Yes, people need to drink water. Without water, we would die. Water can only be obtained from rain. If it doesn't rain, we won't have anything to drink."
"Will everyone die? Will you die? Will Mother die? Will Fifth Brother die too?"
The little guy was extremely annoyed, and pointed at himself, "Will Sisi die too?"
You Rong was very patient. "Yes, but Sisi won't die. Mother will protect Sisi."
"ah?"
The little guy pouted and said unhappily, waving his arms and legs, "I don't want everyone to die, I want it to rain, lots and lots of rain."
The little guy is so innocent; he wishes the rain could just fall whenever he wanted.
You Rong's brows furrowed with worry, but she still smiled. "Okay, let it rain lots and lots of rain, so everyone can run and play with Sisi, okay?"
"Okay." The little guy clapped his hands happily.
Since her mother told her to make it rain, she would make her mother make a big rain!
Sisi chuckled, "Mommy, let's hurry back inside, or we'll get wet if it rains."
You Rong didn't take it seriously, just coaxed her, and took her little hand to walk into the corridor, "Okay, it's almost noon, Sisi, is there anything you want to eat? Tell your mother."
The little one rubbed his nose, sneezed softly, and said in a sweet, whiny voice, "Sisi wants to eat fish."
