NOVPUBShen Roujia wasn’t entirely confident in her plan but realized that simply waiting for the right moment wouldn’t be effective.
She quietly observed the current situation.
One thing that did make her happy was that the little wolf cub, Zai Zai, was growing stronger, with its eyes becoming more lively.
However, it remained surprisingly gentle for such a fierce little creature.
Shen Roujia had hidden the cub well, but one day, while fetching water to clean Zai Zai, she unexpectedly ran into Ai Yigu. Initially, she didn’t think much of it.
Zai Zai, when small, resembled a puppy more than a wolf, but Ai Yigu paused, her gaze lingering on the cub before she slowly said, “This little dog looks very familiar.”
Shen Roujia smiled faintly, “I just found it. Maybe you’ve seen one like it somewhere.”
Although Ai Yigu seemed a bit suspicious, she didn’t press the matter. Shen Roujia quickly picked up Zai Zai and left.
Sometimes, timing could be unexpectedly coincidental.
It wasn’t long before word spread that Shen Roujia was raising a wolf cub, causing concern among the people, and the news eventually reached Wen Surong.
When Wen Surong arrived, frowning, he found Shen Roujia and the cub staring at each other.
“Xiao Rou, aren’t you being reckless? The whole tribe is talking about you raising a wolf cub.”
Shen Roujia couldn’t help but laugh softly. She hadn’t expected Ai Yigu to harbor such animosity towards her. Looking up at Wen Surong, she replied, “Father, what’s so strange about me raising a wolf cub? After all, I was raised by wolves. Did you know that? Almost all the wolves in the Northern Border respond to my commands.”
Wen Surong didn’t know what Shen Roujia had been through, but she did. She had heard these stories from Xiao Sinian.
Indeed, she had been raised by wolves. She was very young and frail back then, and later, when she went to Yancheng, she met Xiao Sinian, who was being hunted.
Everything was connected.
Wolves in Great Zhou might not recognize Shen Roujia, but the wolves of the Northern Border certainly did.
