Chapter 661: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?
There is free time on this day.
On a sunny day, Rong Mama took Acai to visit the bustling market with great interest.
As they walked, they unknowingly came to a place where Gentiles gathered.
Ah Cai looked around curiously, and suddenly turned her head and made eye contact with Rong Mama beside her.
At that moment, Rong Mama seemed to understand and immediately understood the meaning of Acai's eyes.
So, a few people moved back and forth among this group of foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin, strolling around.
A Cai opened her eyes wide and searched carefully for what she needed. As expected, her efforts paid off. Not long after, she delightedly found many of the seeds she had dreamed of.
Not only that, there are also many exquisite handmade carpets here with intricate and beautiful patterns that are dazzling.
Aunt Rong seemed particularly at ease, and she communicated with those foreigners easily.
Ginkgo, standing by, was stunned, secretly exclaiming: What kind of messed up bird language is this! But Rong Mama could actually speak it so fluently, it was really amazing!
After a lively conversation with lots of chatter and babbling, Rong Mama successfully negotiated the price and bought all the seeds without hesitation.
There are many kinds of seeds, including all kinds of grain seeds, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.; fresh and delicious vegetable seeds, such as coriander, spinach, etc.; sweet and juicy fruit seeds, such as watermelon, grapes, etc.
Ah Cai was digging through the seeds excitedly. The more he turned, the happier he became. Suddenly, his eyes lit up - there were actually extremely precious cotton seeds!
This discovery made her overjoyed, it was truly a pleasant surprise!
At this time, Ginkgo still had a confused look on her face, staring blankly at her young lady and Rong Mama who were able to thrive among the foreigners and get along well with everyone. She couldn't help but admire them.
Ah Cai held the tomato seeds tightly in her hand, a satisfied smile on her face as she said happily, "This trip was really worth it! Look how many seeds we found in one go!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at these guys with their heads tied up. They must be the legendary Arabs, right?"
Ah Cai stood on tiptoe excitedly, stretched her neck, and stared curiously at the group of bearded foreigners who were busy fiddling with tinware not far away.
Rong Mama, standing by, frowned, full of suspicion. "That's not right! Hasn't our Fengyu Kingdom always adhered to a policy of isolation? How on earth did these foreigners manage to enter our territory?"
Acai's eyes never left the bearded man named Alzasi, and she responded casually: "No matter how they got in, our food supply is now settled, isn't that enough!" After that, she turned around happily and looked at Rong Mama.
Rong Mama thought so too. Even if the sky really fell, there would naturally be tall people to hold it up. All they had to do was to accompany their young lady to complete the task.
So, the two men walked forward without hesitation, and after bargaining with the bearded men, they successfully took away all the cumin and its seeds from their hands.
Afterwards, Ah Cai and Rong Mama set off on their journey home happily and contentedly.
Along the way, they talked and laughed, and they were in a particularly good mood, as if everything around them became beautiful.
The sunlight shines on them, reflecting the joy on their faces, making people feel happy too.
In this way, they hurried towards the Tong family's old house.
However, something happened that no one expected.
When they just reached the door of the old house, a figure suddenly rushed out from inside, blocking their way.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the illegitimate fifth young master Tong Jinhao.
At this time, Tong Jinhao's face turned red, like a ripe apple.
Facing his ninth legitimate sister Acai, he kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, his eyes flickering, and he seemed a little uneasy.
After a long while, he seemed to finally muster up the courage. He slowly opened his mouth and stammered, "Ninth sister, I... I heard that Seventh sister is having a very hard time at the farm. Could you please show mercy and allow her to return home? You know, the mistakes her aunt made have nothing to do with her..."
Acai, who was originally immersed in the joy of successfully purchasing cumin seeds, froze the smile on her face instantly after hearing these words.
Then, the smile seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Her eyes widened, revealing an unconcealable anger as she glared at Tong Jinhao fiercely, thinking to herself, "Humph! This ignorant, ungrateful fellow actually dared to plead for that person in front of me! He really can't tell the difference between right and wrong, and doesn't know his own weight!"
Rong Mama flashed and quickly stood in front of Ah Cai, her face full of determination as she said righteously:
"Fifth Young Master, for something like this, you should go to the Third Master!
Although our young lady is now in charge of household affairs, she shouldn't be the one handling these troublesome matters!"
Ah Cai, who was standing aside, nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with what Rong Mama said.
Although she is now in charge of household affairs, she will never condone the fact that Concubine Dong had the audacity to steal the mistress's dowry.
As the saying goes, whoever dares to extend a thieving hand must be cut off!
She, the Seventh Miss, is the beneficiary. She usually relies on her aunt to manage the inner house and dares to go against the original owner. Now that she has come to the manor, she can get someone in her family to speak for her. How amazing!
At this moment, Tong Jinhao's eyes were fixed on his ninth sister who was hiding behind Rong Mama and peeking at him cautiously.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: This ninth sister has always been gentle, docile, well-behaved and obedient in the past, why is she so dislikeful to me today?
Originally, he had fully believed that with Ninth Sister's kind and amiable nature, as long as he lowered his posture and spoke a few soft words to her, Ninth Sister would certainly listen to him and let Seventh Sister return to the old house.
But looking at the situation now, it seems that things are not developing as he expected...
"Gazi..."
The side door opened and several servants rushed out. They saluted Acai and directly carried the fifth young master away.
