The daughter we just brought back, we barely had time to hold her, and now she's been abducted?
Gu Qiusha was furious: "Did we have a burglar? Which room was Zuzi sleeping in?"
Wang Laowu recalled last night's ordeal and pursed his lips: "Madam, follow me."
He led Mrs. Xi to the storeroom on the first floor.
As soon as the door opened, the dust made Gu Qiusha cough incessantly, the environment was so bad there was nowhere to step: "What is this, making my Zuzi sleep in such a place, has Housekeeper Yao gone mad."
Yet Xi Rubao was in a good mood: "The steward arranged it well, coming from the countryside, this place suits her best, or should we let her go upstairs and sit on an equal footing with us?"
Gu Qiusha thought seriously for a moment: "Baby, you're right, we should arrange for Zuzi to stay upstairs, right next to your third brother."
Xi Rubao's eyes widened: "I object!"
When did she ever say that this country bumpkin could go upstairs to live?
How could Mom be so confused, isn't next to Third Brother's room the best room on the seventh floor with the best view of the peach trees outside the window?
After Big Brother went to the Imperial Capital, no one was allowed to touch that room. She once tried to get Mom to give her that room under the pretense of studying, but she was rejected.
And now they're letting that country bumpkin Xi Zuzi live there!
Always yielding to her daughter, Gu Qiusha put on a stern face: "Baby, don't make a fuss, this matter is settled. I owe your sister too much, what's a room compared to that?"
Xi Rubao choked on her words, tears welling up in her eyes: "You owe her? Fine, then what about me, I'm just extra, right? I'm going to jump—"
Before she could finish saying 'down', Housekeeper Yao came running in, panting: "Madam, you, you called."
Gu Qiusha frowned: "Housekeeper Yao, what happened to your mouth?"
Everyone followed the gaze to Housekeeper Yao's mouth and was collectively shocked, oh my, how did his mouth become crooked .
It was almost crooked to his ear like a hooked end.
Housekeeper Yao was close to tears, clutching his mouth: "Last night, I lost two million in the lottery, cried all night without sleep, and ended up . Madam, your great kindness, please don't dismiss me, I've lost all my retirement money..."
Gu Qiusha, kind-hearted, didn't further dwell on the room matter after hearing this: "Alright, alright, I told you all to stop being addicted to gambling, take this loss as a lesson. Go check the surveillance, see if Zuzi was taken by a thief."
Xi Rubao, who hadn't finished speaking earlier, finally got the chance to continue: "Why bother finding that country bumpkin, with her there's no room for me, if she dares to live on the seventh floor, I'll jump from the seventh floor—"
Before she could finish, there was a light laugh.
It was as if a gentle breeze brushed everyone's forehead, sending a shiver down their spines.
Then they saw Xi Zuzi, dressed in white, gracefully approaching from the peach forest in the backyard, lips slightly parted: "Jumping off a building isn't something you should chatter about every day, word spirit isn't just a phrase, you might really fall, you know."
Gu Qiusha's eyes brightened, tears in her eyes: "Zuzi!"
Xi Rubao was momentarily stunned.
Looking at the girl who came floating over, she was of similar age, yet possessed an unattainable serenity that she herself lacked.
Is this the so-called countryside bumpkin?
Xi Zuzi's beauty and composure made her extraordinarily indignant: "I said, I said, jump, jump, jump, I'll jump! What can you do about it!"
Xi Zuzi smiled slightly: "Very well. Word spirit will make your wish come true."
"Miss!" Wang Laowu exclaimed with excitement in his eyes, wiping his hand on his sleeve.
Others might not believe the silly eldest lady's words.
Because last night, he listened to his wife and bought a two-yuan lottery ticket, and won a grand prize of two million! Overnight, they're out of poverty! Ah, ah, ah!
