In a dilapidated courtyard near the city wall in the outer city.

The overgrown weeds have been eradicated, and a small vegetable field has been dug out.There are many broken earthen pots in the yard, all of which have been filled with soil, or planted with vegetables or common herbs.

A rope was pulled up in the sunny place, and many children's clothes were hung on it.

Beside the well, a girl with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament was washing clothes, and several little dolls were squatting beside her, and they were also working hard to wash the clothes in the wooden basin.

A little further away, a few children in simple clothes were talking to a little boy with a missing leg.

Despite the harsh environment, the faces of these children are clean and their hair is neatly combed.The older ones were wearing patched sackcloth, while the younger ones had changed into recently made commoner clothes.

A little boy who was washing clothes raised his head, "Sister Zhu, brother Xing said that he won a reward and has a big house and is cleaning it up. Can we live in a house that doesn't leak?"

"Well," Zhao Zhu'er put the freshly washed clothes in the wooden barrel, and took the one from the little boy's hand, "We will move there after packing."

Looking at the little boy's thin and yellow face, she instructed, "There's still a lot of food there, and we're not short of food for now, so don't save any more."

The little boy smiled embarrassingly, "We have more and more children here, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat, but brother Xing is amazing!"

Thinking of Zhou Jixing, Zhao Zhu'er also smiled, "He is very powerful, and he will make great achievements in the future."

Thinking of Zhou Jixing saying that in the future, she would find a way to settle these children, and then send them to study or learn a craft, and she was a little worried that the boy would put all the responsibilities on herself.

If only she could help.

The girl was a little melancholy.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound at the door, and at the same time, she also felt the burning gaze.

Zhao Zhu'er turned her head to look and found two heads growing at the door.

The smaller head was round and pressed down, and the owner of the head had big eyes and a small mouth, and this would be staring at her without blinking.

The bigger head has a simple hairstyle, but the hairpins are extremely delicate and extravagant, and that face...that face!

Zhao Zhu'er stood up in surprise, and unconsciously touched her face with wet hands.

How could there be someone so similar to her in the world?
Doorway.

Yan Zhizhi and Yan Ruyue were peeping.

Yesterday, Zhou Jixing's strange reaction was caught by Yan Zhizhi's father and daughter. They turned around and sent a servant to check it out. They found out that the courtyard was in the southeast of Prince An's Mansion.

The guards investigated and soon sent relevant information to the emperor.

This yard was originally a gathering place for some homeless children, and occasionally some kind people would send some food and old clothes over.There are also well-meaning people to help take care of one or two to prevent those with ulterior motives from stealing the children.Although Zhou Jixing is a teenager, he would occasionally secretly deliver food to the children there.

However, those who live in the outer city, especially those near the city wall, are basically not rich, and no one really adopts a child or two.Therefore, children still die every year due to starvation diseases.

At the beginning of this year, there was another Zhao Zhuer.

According to the investigation, this Zhao Zhuer came to the capital with his parents to join relatives and do business together.As a result, the relative cheated her parents out of money, and her parents contracted cold one after another and died one after another.

Zhao Zhu'er became an orphan in an instant. She didn't have much money, but she was pretty. She was targeted by people with ulterior motives. She was rescued by Zhou Jixing and settled in the yard.

Not long after, Zhao Zhu'er became the big sister in the yard.

Although the emperor had sent someone to investigate the Zhao family's hometown, with Yan Zhizhi's Tai Su veins around, they all believed that this Zhao Zhu'er was Yan Ruzhu.

Yan Ruyue was impatient, and couldn't wait for the investigation results from the emperor's manpower.Yan Zhizhi was also curious.The two sisters hit it off immediately, left the prince behind, and came to take a peek.

Looking at it this way, the older one's eyes turned red, feeling that her sister had suffered a lot, the younger one blushed, and looked at Zhao Zhu'er with admiration.

When Zhao Zhuer's eyes met, Yan Zhizhi called out sweetly, "Sister, I'm Zhizhi."

Not to be outdone, Yan Ruyue said with a tear in her voice, "Sister, I'm Ah Yue."

Zhao Zhu'er looked at them fixedly, but a scene suddenly flashed before her eyes.

It was a big house, a little girl ran in front holding a small wooden sword, she chased after her, "Sister, it's dangerous!"

"younger sister?"

She suddenly hugged her aching head, "Strange, so strange."

Yan Zhizhi and Yan Ruyue hurried in and approached Zhao Zhuer under the nervous and vigilant eyes of a group of children.

"Zhizhi is a genius doctor, let Zhizhi take a look!"

Yan Zhizhi tried his best to squeeze between the children and managed to squeeze in front of Zhao Zhu'er.When the other party lowered his hand, he quickly grasped it, took all the pulse, and came to a conclusion, "Ah, my sister hurt her head once, and many things in the past have been forgotten."

She tried her best to tug on Zhao Zhu'er, "Sister, squat down and let Zhizhi rub your head."

It was clearly the first time they met, but Zhao Zhu'er squatted down in cooperation with those big concerned eyes.

Yan Zhizhi quickly stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little claws, and rubbed a few acupuncture points on her head for her.

"Because I was stimulated when I saw sister Ayue, my sister may have remembered something, which gave me a headache."

The gentle force relieved the aching head a lot.

Inexplicably, Zhao Zhu'er didn't dare to look at Yan Ruyue, who was red-eyed. She smiled at the concerned children who came around and told them to go off and do their own things. Then she asked Yan Zhizhi softly, "I I just saw a picture...is it real?"

"Yes, my sister was injured. As long as it happened, it will not disappear completely, but will be forgotten. When it is stimulated, it will be remembered."

Yan Zhizhi massaged her acupoints earnestly, and only put it down when his hands were sore. A chubby face turned to Zhao Zhuer, "Sister, you are our sister!"

Yan Ruyue parroted, "Sister, you are our sister!"

Zhao Zhuer was flustered, "But, but, I have parents, and I am their biological child."

She instinctively wanted to get close to these two people, but her long-standing memory told her that she had parents, and these two little girls looked like they were from wealthy families.

The Zhao family is considered wealthy in Zhaojia Village, but that is just food, clothing and some spare money, which is incomparable to rich and noble families.

Yan Zhizhi puffed up his cheeks, rolled his eyes, and finally looked at Yan Ruyue.

"But you look exactly alike!"

Zhao Zhuer: "This, this..."

The tears in Yan Ruyue's eyes fell down.

"You are my sister. Uncle Huang has already sent someone to investigate, and the result will be within half a month. You are my sister!"

She grabbed Zhao Zhu'er's arm domineeringly.

This time it was Yan Zhizhi's turn to learn from the parrot.

"Yes, you are my sister!" She grabbed Zhao Zhuer's other arm.
