Chapter 292 Similar
Songbai lay on the ground, the area bound by her breast binder aching slightly, but nothing compared to her heartache!
Gongsun Zhi actually let her fall to the ground like that!
She looked up and met two soft, round, white faces, her expression filled with sympathy.
Looking back at Gongsun Zhi, she was wearing a dark green dress, her hair adorned with jewels that shimmered in the sunlight. Songbai watched his focused expression, then glanced at the person he was embracing…
"Something's wrong."
Chirp: "Just realized?"
The pink bubbles above her head were practically overflowing!
[But Sister Songbai is quite pitiful; her love belongs to someone else, and the symbol of love shines brightly on her head. Such a single dog!]
Songbai felt a cool sensation on the top of her head and unconsciously kept touching it. After confirming that she wasn't balding, she asked the two people who were still staring at each other, "Have you two had enough of hugging?"
The two separated abruptly, their faces as red as monkey bottoms. Princess Jingning, embarrassed, grabbed her younger sister and ran off without thinking twice.
After everyone had run far away, Gongsun Zhi looked down at Xiao Hei Lian and asked, "Your Highness, how will you get back?"
Fu Ning stretched out his chubby little hand, "Giddy up!"
Gongsun Zhi: "..."
Princess Jingning ran far away with a flushed face before realizing something was wrong: her sister was so heavy today?
Looking down...
Completely dumbfounded!
"What are you doing here?" Where's her sister?!
Chuchu asked innocently, "Huh? Didn't you take me away?"
When Princess Jingning returned to find her sister, Gongsun Zhi and Songbai had already escorted her back to the Empress's palace. The two did not linger in the palace and had already left.
Songbai has decided not to go out for the next month!
The palace is far too dangerous!
Songbai stayed at home for three days, and then Qiuqiu came to visit on her own initiative.
She listened blankly as the servant came to report, "Young master, Princess Roujia has arrived."
"Princess Roujia? Who?" Songbai's face was full of rejection. "Your young master is a man with a fiancée. Not just any random man or woman can get close to him!"
The servant's eye twitched. What was the young master thinking? He was still just a child!
He said simply and directly, "The young lady of the Marquis of Wenyang's family."
The pine and cypress trees knew who it was, and chirped.
"Yes, it's chirping."
"You know him too?"
She felt like everyone in the capital knew Qiuqiu!
The servant nodded emphatically: "Last year, my mother was seriously ill and almost didn't make it. It was Princess Roujia who arranged for a doctor to provide free medical treatment and medicine for my mother, which is how she pulled through. The people of the capital all remember the Princess's kindness!"
Songbai understood; this was a little dumpling that had won people's hearts.
"Then please invite her in."
The servant looked grave and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work."
"What, do you expect me to pick her up?" Songbai couldn't help but raise her voice. It was bad enough that Huiren was dreaming so early in the morning, but now she had to pick her up herself? That was too much, really too much!
The servant explained, "Princess Roujia is so adorable that she was taken away by the old lady."
Songbai's face fell; her grandmother was the strictest. Perhaps Qiuqiu wasn't taken away because she was too cute, but because she was too unruly!
"No, I have to save her!"
No matter how the servant explained, Songbai wouldn't listen, and quickly imagined a scene of Qiuqiu being scolded and bursting into tears.
The more I wanted to run, the faster I ran, until I finally plunged headfirst into my grandmother's yard and all I got was a glare...
"Grandma? Chirp chirp?"
The grandmother, whose sternness was so pronounced her nasolabial folds could trap a mosquito, was now beaming with joy, teasing the little chick with candied fruit. The greedy child was trying his best to amuse the old lady; it was a scene of pure happiness and harmony.
The smile on Old Madam Song's face hadn't faded when she saw Song Bai, and she was clearly stunned. The next moment, panic gripped her. She absolutely couldn't let her carefully cultivated image crumble!
She pretended to be nonchalant and put Qiuqiu on the ground, pushing her back to make her stumble forward a few steps. "I don't know where this child came from. I thought she looked pitiful, so I brought her back. If Bai'er recognizes her, she can take her home."
Chirp: "!!!"
I already introduced myself when I came in!
The chubby boy was furious at the old lady's sudden change of heart and quietly watched her, waiting for her to admit her mistake.
The more she looked at her, the more she felt that the expressionless old lady Song resembled Gongsun Zhi.
These two families are really strange; they managed to mix up the children's genders and couldn't even tell what they were. Was it intentional or unintentional?
Madam Song felt uncomfortable under his gaze and waved her hand, "Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave."
This little rascal has sharp eyes; he just stands there as if he has no secrets.
Afraid of upsetting her grandmother, Songbai grabbed Qiuqiu and ran away.
Chiu Chiu wrapped her arms around Song Bai's neck, her chubby face jiggling, looking incredibly soft to the touch. The two were very close, and setting aside the limitations of her male attire, Chiu Chiu suddenly felt that Song Bai's profile was strangely familiar.
[This woman seems familiar...]
Thankfully, no one was here to hear Qiuqiu's thoughts, otherwise they would definitely call her a lecherous little woman again. But this time, she was serious!
Suddenly, Chiu Chiu hugged Song Bai's face, her round little face pressed close, "It's so similar!"
Pine and Cypress leaned back to avoid the impact of Qiuqiu's round face. "Who do I look like? Me and my grandmother?"
It certainly wasn't Songbai or Madam Song. But she couldn't say for sure who it resembled, though she was certain it was someone she knew.
After all, she doesn't remember the faces of people she doesn't know well!
Chiu Chiu has already included Song Bai in her circle of good friends; friendship is something that needs to be maintained. Today, she planned to choose the flowers that Song Bai would fold for her, but right now, Chiu Chiu isn't in the mood for that.
She definitely won't be able to sleep tonight if she can't figure out who the pine tree resembles!
She had met the Gongsun family before, and they were completely different from the Songbai family! The Song family gave away their perfectly good son to be raised by someone else, and then picked up a strange child?
This is just plain crazy!
No, check again!
Chiu Chiu was a little dumpling with some skills after all. With a wave of her little hand, she ordered Songbai to take her to the pastry shop.
It's hilarious that she was ordered to send Songbai to investigate Songbai's background; I doubt only Qiuqiu could pull off something like that.
Songbai had no idea that the mystery of her past, which she had kept hidden for so many years, had been discovered by Qiujiu. She simply thought that Qiujiu was just greedy.
When they arrived at the pastry shop, she generously offered to cover all of Qiuqiu's expenses, and then the shopkeeper told her that Qiuqiu could eat for free there!
Chiu Chiu glared at him, exuding an incredibly arrogant air: "I have status!"
Songbai was shocked: "Are you using the name of the county princess or the name of the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion to scam people out of food and drink?"
Are kids these days completely unsupervised?!
Chirp: I'll take care of you right away!
Someone, bring the host to the master's house!
Jingfeng glared at Qiuqiu with a dark expression: "Why are you here again?"
The old man has retired from the world of martial arts but still has to take care of the children!
Chirp munched on a snack while pushing the pine tree away with her other hand.
Jingfeng looked the pine and cypress trees up and down, nodded to Qiuqiu, and then held up three fingers.
Chuchu gave him three fingers in return.
Then Jingfeng left.
Songbai watched as Qiuqiu calmly ate her pastries and tentatively asked, "You're eating pastries from this pastry shop for free. Is the owner going to beat you three times or make your family pay three hundred taels of silver to redeem you?"
Chirp bristled: "Three hundred taels?"
Goodness, she's worth so much silver?
[Hmph, I'll find out your past in three days!]
