Chapter 192: Going To Marquis Wu’an’s Home To Gossip
When returning home in the afternoon, Qin Wanwan and Ke Ke heard that the Marquis Wu’an’s residence across the street seemed very lively.
Ke Ke didn’t even follow Qin Wanwan home anymore.
“I’ll go across the street to see what’s going on.”
After speaking, he flew away.
At this time, Qin Wanwan especially envied Ke Ke for having wings and being able to fly, so he could go wherever there was excitement.
After returning home, Shang Wuyang heard about the imperial officials who came to visit Rong Zhi and immediately laughed gloatingly.
“Serves you right!”
For him to snatch the little chubby cub.
Then, extreme joy turned to sorrow, and Rong Zhi arrived.
Shang Wuyang looked at him as if he were a debt collector: “Did you plant spies in my house? I just got back and my butt hasn’t even warmed up yet, and you’re already here.”
Rong Zhi smiled: “It’s just the distance of a wall, it wouldn’t take me much effort to plant someone.”
Shang Wuyang regretted choosing this house in the first place; its feng shui was clashing with him.
His own cub was even rushed away.
He rolled his eyes at Rong Zhi impatiently: “It’s not even dark yet, Wanwan needs to eat at home.”
“She can eat at my place too.”
The two were at each other’s throats.
Finally, they both looked at Qin Wanwan.
“Cub, whose house will you eat at?”
Qin Wanwan: ………
She furrowed her little brows, thought hard for a moment, and cautiously asked, “How about… we draw straws?”
She couldn’t decide either, so she would leave the matter to fate.
Shang Wuyang: “Let’s do something fun.”
What he called fun was a game of pitch-pot.
A pot was placed one meter away from Qin Wanwan, with ten arrows, five painted blue and five painted red.
Qin Wanwan would play herself, and the final result would be determined by which color arrow was thrown the most.
If there were more blue arrows, she would go to Rong Zhi’s house; if there were more red arrows, she would stay at Shang Wuyang’s house.
Isn’t this just playing?
Qin Wanwan was excited.
“I’m ready!”
She stood outside the line, her short legs bouncing back and forth.
“Is it starting, is it starting?”
She looked a little impatient.
Shang Wuyang sat on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a fan to look cool.
“You can start now.”
Qin Wanwan jumped up and threw the arrow in her hand.
It missed.
“Ooh, it missed, it missed! Let’s go again.”
The little one trotted back to get another arrow.
The previous one was red, and this one is blue.
The second arrow also missed.
The little qilin’s aim was a bit off.
Several of the previous arrows missed.
She hit it on the fifth arrow.
She was so happy she was bouncing.
Then she hit it on the eighth and tenth arrows.
This was entirely based on luck with no skill.
She hit three out of ten arrows, one red and two blue.
Rong Zhi smiled gently: “It seems my luck is better today.”
Shang Wuyang pouted but kept his word.
Qin Wanwan happily ran to find Daddy: “Daddy, do you have more? Wanwan wants to play again.”
Shang Wuyang lightly tapped her little head with his fan.
“You can play after you eat.”
The little chubby cub obediently said “oh.”
“Then let’s go quickly.”
She held Shang Wuyang’s hand with one hand and Rong Zhi’s with the other, bouncing between the two adults like a soft, white, lively little rabbit.
She even sang in a childish voice.
“One daddy on my left, one daddy on my right, thinking of one daddy in my head, three daddies, Wanwan is so happy, so happy.”
Shang Wuyang: ………
What on earth was she singing?
During dinner, Ke Ke returned and the little parrot animatedly told them gossip from across the street.
“Hahaha, Marquis Wu’an is kneeling on a washboard again. This time he’s kneeling right outside, with no face saved at all. I heard his wife went to the yamen and dragged him back by the ear.”
“He really is reckless. His brain is so slow, he was tricked by that young widow cousin with a few words and a couple of pitiful tears, so he took out his private savings and even borrowed some money from colleagues to rent a house for his cousin to live in. No wonder his wife was so angry.”
“I heard that his cousin was sent back to her hometown by Marquis Wu’an’s wife in a carriage. It’s a shame Marquis Wu’an didn’t get to see it when he was dragged back by the ear.”
Qin Wanwan gnawed on a chicken leg, her cheeks round and full.
“Wow, I really want to go see.”
Rong Zhi unhurriedly wiped her little face, which was greasy from the chicken leg.
“I’ll take you there after you finish eating.”
The little qilin cub’s eyes lit up.
He ate the chicken leg with even more gusto.
With one bite, her left cheek bulged out into a big lump of flesh.
It was soft and white, looking very tempting to poke.
Shang Wuyang: “Did you do this?”
Rong Zhi neither denied nor admitted it.
Shang Wuyang knew it must have been this black-hearted person.
On the surface, he seemed so noble and elegant, but in reality, he was vengeful and petty.
Someone forgot that he himself was also like this.
When Qin Wanwan’s little belly was full, she still remembered to bring a bag to the excitement across the street, containing peanuts, sunflower seeds, and fruit candies.
Rong Zhi took the little chubby cub and openly knocked on the door across the street, with Shang Wuyang casually following behind.
“Lord Rong, what brings you here?”
Rong Zhi smiled gently: “I heard that Marquis Wu’an was injured. As a colleague and neighbor, it is only right to visit.”
Marquis Wu’an’s servants: ………
What injury? Everyone knew the real reason.
They didn’t dare to drive them away, so they could only quickly go in to inform the Madam.
When Marquis Wu’an’s wife heard the servant’s report, her mouth twitched.
Marquis Wu’an himself was completely distraught.
“What does Rong Zhi mean by this? Is he here to watch my misfortune? If it weren’t for him, I…”
Before he could finish, his wife shot him a glare.
Marquis Wu’an knelt in a big heap on the washboard, looking wronged.
“Madam, I didn’t know that cousin had such feelings for me. You see, I’m so big and rough, who would have thought someone would still be interested in me? I only helped her rent a house because she’s related to me, and she said she’d pay me back!”
“Shut up. If Lord Rong hadn’t sent someone to tell me, you dullard wouldn’t even know how you were tricked by her in the future. And about you going to the pleasure house…”
“That wasn’t where I wanted to go; I was tricked by my colleagues!”
Marquis Wu’an’s wife sneered, and he immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak.
“Go, let Lord Rong come in.”
Then she looked at Marquis Wu’an again: “Alright, get up and host Lord Rong properly.”
Marquis Wu’an was very unwilling. Today, in front of so many colleagues, his wife had chased and hit him with a horsewhip and dragged him back by the ear, losing all his face.
Now Rong Zhi had nothing else to do but come and laugh at him!
Then Marquis Wu’an saw that Rong Zhi not only came alone but also brought his whole family!
Marquis Wu’an gritted his teeth, but his wife pinched him at the waist, and he forced a smile onto his stubbly face.
It was just that his smile was quite frightening.
It was like a big bear smiling at you.
Qin Wanwan poked her fluffy little head out from behind Daddy, glanced at Marquis Wu’an, and quickly retreated.
