Before falling asleep, Zhao Yun and Cao Ang were a little worried about how Yi Xiaotian would compete with Zhu Rongshuang tomorrow, and they repeatedly confirmed with Yi Xiaotian.
However, the answer they received did not change at all, except for one sentence:
"Don't worry, I don't need to trouble you about tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, let's rest early. My injuries also need to rest."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Cao Ang could only shrug their shoulders helplessly and choose to leave.
On the same night, an uninvited guest came to Zhu Ronghuan's mansion.
——
"Why are you so sneaky outside the door? Come in, I'm the only one in the house."
Zhu Ronghuan usually goes to bed very early, but today, as if she had expected it, she has not fallen asleep until almost noon. At this moment, she is lying quietly on the bed, staring at the door of the room.
Squeak...The door of the room was gently pushed open, and the figure that slipped in from the doorway was silent...like a tiptoeing night owl.
Even so, Zhu Ronghuan was not surprised. A frivolous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she looked at the figure who got into her room with interest. Seeing the completely different behavior of the other person from his sassy appearance during the day, she couldn't help but tease her.
road:
"Why are you so reserved? You haven't seen me for several years and yet you are afraid of life?"
"Ah...sister...no."
Just hearing "Sister", the identity of the visitor was revealed.
Zhu Ronghuan straightened up and sat leisurely on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed. Especially with her looming gauze clothes, her hot and powerful body lines were fully exposed.
But the one facing her is not another peerless beauty?
The key point is that the two people look exactly the same. The only difference that can be called a difference is maybe the different frown between their eyebrows, right?
The atmosphere in the venue seemed to have cooled down at this moment.
This meeting, with no bystanders, was also the first meeting that the two had not seen for many years.
There are no arrangements or reservations, it's just a must-see between sisters who share a common understanding.
It was Zhu Ronghuan who finally broke the silence. He smiled freely, looked at it playfully, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said while looking at it:
"At first I heard someone talking about a contestant named Shuang, and I thought it was a contestant with the same name. But after Maiimi confirmed that you are a woman, I knew it was you."
"However, this is indeed a bit beyond my expectation. Sister, how could you, who listened to your mother, have the idea of coming to Zhuti?
If nothing else...don't you know that there is going to be a war recently?"
Zhu Ronghuan said it euphemistically, but in fact her position was roughly the same as Duosi's. Yes... As she said before, Zhu Rongshuang came here on her own initiative. Not only did she not accompany them, she didn't even bring any guards.
Coming here alone like this - to say she is dangerous, well, this is really dangerous, no wonder Dosi reacted so violently.
"Sister, I know, but I have a reason to come. It's my fault for not telling you in advance... So, my mother will explain it herself and won't trouble you!"
As soon as Zhu Ronshuang opened her mouth, her image of a lovable and sensible sister was clearly revealed. She, who was still tense in front, now showed aggrieved eyes and quietly looked at the eldest sister in front of her, a little worried that she was
It's not like I'm going to be reprimanded again.
how could be--
Zhu Ronghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He jumped up slightly and came to Zhu Rongshuang in a few steps. Under Zhu Rongshuang's shocked eyes, he first gave her a big hug, and then rubbed her head affectionately.
He also showed a tenderness that was completely different from his usual fiery temperament.
"My silly sister... I knew you would be like this. What trouble would we have? It should be said that if you really wanted to come, just tell me directly at that time. How could I not bring you with me?"
"You have been staying by my mother's side for so many years. Although your skills have improved and your body has developed, you are no longer the little guy standing behind my butt... But still, I don't care what others think, in my eyes
, you will always be my most amiable sister, do you understand?"
"Wuwu...sister...you...you are so kind...wuwu..."
These words could be regarded as untying a knot in Zhu Rongshuang's heart. After that, the conversation between the two no longer had that sense of alienation, but just like ordinary sisters, holding hands and talking and laughing.
Parents are short-tempered...
Presumably if Yi Xiaotian could see this scene, he probably wouldn't be so wary of Zhu Ronghuan.
——
The conversation between the two lasted for a long time. From the time they broke up, they talked about their respective life trajectories until now, and they talked about today's stage in the ring.
It should be said that it was precisely because of this conversation that they finally learned what the two parties had experienced over the years.
Speaking specifically of the difference between the two, it’s not a particularly big deal:
Zhu Ronghuan has always had high hopes from her mother, the current patriarch of the Zhu Rong clan, so when she came of age at the age of fifteen, she was sent by her mother to the branch of the Zhu Rong clan in Dianchi Lake, occasionally going to the north.
He has been training on the territory of Duosi, and has experienced many battles, and has developed the tough character and physique he has today.
Nowadays, Zhu Ronghuan is leading the division of the Zhu Rong family, and has a tendency to overtake his mother in the limelight.
It is estimated that in a few years, she, the imperially appointed Princess Zhu Rong, will inherit her mother's position and become the true head of the Zhu Rong clan.
But before that, there is a problem she must solve - which is why she holds a competition to find a bride.
Yes, the Zhu Rong clan, as a branch of the ancient Central Plains clan that dispersed to the Nanzhong area, has always retained some specific customs.
For example, worshiping flames; another example, advocating fertility.
Yes, to become the patriarch of the Zhu Rong clan, the essential step is to find your partner, get married, and give birth to a healthy next generation.
Only in this way can the appointed heir become a truly qualified successor.
Of course... Originally, this matter was not difficult for Zhu Ronghuan, who was all-powerful in the Nanzhong region.
There are countless men who want to marry her, whether they are thinking of her beauty or the strength of the Zhu Rong clan.
The person who was blocking this matter was none other than herself.
To put it simply, it's not that she lacks men, but that she doesn't like those men, especially those with force.
...and what about Zhu Rongshuang?
During the exchange, Zhu Rongshuang's completely different life trajectory was revealed through her mouth.
Zhu Ronghuan probably only had one thought after listening to it...
"Mother...isn't she doting on you a little too much?"
"That is to say...otherwise why would I escape? I...I also want to achieve a career and make a name for myself like my sister...and then...then..."
Zhu Ronghuan was of course confused, so he quietly tilted his head and looked at his sister's face:
"Why are you blushing?"
"I...I...I want to be like my sister! You...you are the person I admire the most...so when I heard...I heard that you were going to hold a competition to find a bride, I came..."
"I actually want to find a good husband...hehe...hehehe..."
Zhu Ronshuang scratched his head and said his true intention with a silly smile, completely unaware of Zhu Ronghuan's stunned expression.
