Chapter 58: That Scum

Wei Na was genuinely unaware. After all, it accompanied An Jiuyue in her previous life and only came to this world when she did. It did not know what was going on here before that.
“Master, you’re thinking too much. Many people share the same name. It’s definitely not the—”
“‘Qian’ as in thousand, ‘Ji’ as in solitude, and ‘Yun’ as in clouds1.”
Wei Na was in the middle of reassuring its master that it was probably a mere coincidence when Qian Jiyun elaborated on his name.
An Jiuyue fell silent.!!
She wanted to die. It was the exact same name.
“Then… then what is your sister’s name?” she asked, trembling.
She remembered that the scum’s younger sister did not have the word ‘Yan’ in her name. This man cannot be the same person as the Host’s husband, right?
“My younger sister’s name is Qian Yiyun,” Qian Jiyun answered.
Qian Yiyun!
It was really Qian Yiyun! The young lady was only 10 years old at that time. She had grown into a young lady in the blink of an eye. An Jiuyue did not recognize her at all!
“Isn’t her name… Yan Yan?”
Although there was no escaping this truth, the corners of An Jiuyue’s mouth twitched.
How can there be such a coincidence? I went to rescue people, and they happen to be Qian Jiyun and Qian Yiyun? Are the heavens toying with me?
“She was born in the eleventh lunar month, but a pair of swallows flew into the house during her birth. She was nicknamed Yan Yan1,” Qian Jiyun explained.
An Jiuyue took a deep breath and kept quiet. She continued walking.
Soon, they entered deep into the mountains.
Although it was still raining, there were many trees blocking the rain, so she only needed a bamboo hat.
“Give me your crossbow. I’ll go and hunt some wild animals. You can pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables nearby, Miss An. Be careful. There are many wild beasts on the mountain.”
Qian Jiyun did not wait for her to respond and took the bow from her hand. He reminded her to be careful and left.
An Jiuyue watched him leave and pursed her red lips.
What should I do? I rescued my supposedly dead ex-husband from the flood! How should I resolve this? I need an answer urgently!
“So it’s really him, Master? What are you going to do?” Wei Na whispered softly.
It struggled to gather the right words to say. It thought that things in this world happened too coincidentally.
“Should I pretend I don’t know him?” she suggested.
Pretending that I don’t know him is my only option, right? Besides, I’m not the Host, so I’m technically not Qian Jiyun’s wife either.
But I have those two boys! They are Qian Jiyun’s biological sons, aren’t they? I can’t possibly stop them from reuniting with their biological father, right?
She shook her head and continued muttering to herself, “That’s not true. If it wasn’t for the Host, nobody would know where Zheng’er and Rong’er are now. But they’re living well now! It doesn’t matter if they don’t reunite with him.”
That’s right. Zheng’er and Rong’er were rescued from the deep mountains—they were reborn.
Moreover, Qian Jiyun already has that lady named Xue Ling. He would have his own son sooner or later. Why should he snatch them away from me?
I will not give in if he ever tries to!
“Forget it, what’s the point of thinking so much? They’ll leave once the flood subsides. We don’t even know if we’ll ever meet again.”
