Chapter 310 Ultimate Notes Zhang Qiling 43 (The End)

Decades later, Zhang Qiling's life also came to an end. This time, Zhang Haixuan did not leave immediately, but stayed for another month.

How should I put it? It feels really strange without Zhang Qiling silently by my side. He's usually quite cheerful, but he's picked up that habit of his used to daydream.

This is probably how Zhang Qiling felt when Wu Xie and the others left. He often thought of them, but the next moment he realized that he could never see them again.

When Zhang Haixuan mentioned Wu Xie and the others, she remembered what happened in Banna. Since they were all getting old, they decided to retire in Banna.

Zhang Haixuan and Zhang Qiling also went along, but because they looked so young, they were mistaken by others for Wu Xie's children or grandchildren.

They all laughed at the time, but how much of it was genuine laughter and how much was a forced smile?

------over------

A woman dressed in a moon-white cheongsam and wearing a veiled hat walked down the street, followed by two maids carrying a lot of pastries and snacks.

The woman's every move was graceful and charming. Even though her face was covered and her features were not visible, one could still sense that she must have been an exceptionally beautiful woman beneath the veil.

The woman's name was Gao Xiyue, and she was the daughter of Gao Bin, the salt transport commissioner of Lianghuai.

On Madam Gao's birthday, Gao Bin was too busy with official duties to personally offer his congratulations, but his wife, Madam Ma, and their children were indeed coming.

Having not returned to the capital for a long time, Gao Xiyue naturally wanted to see what changes had taken place, so she wandered around with her maid.

Not far away, a carriage approached. Suddenly, the horse neighed and bolted wildly.

"Miss!"

Xingxuan, with her sharp ears, heard the commotion and looked in the direction of the sound to find a carriage rushing towards them.

He hurriedly pulled Gao Xiyue to dodge, but unfortunately they couldn't escape the raging horse. The three of them fell to the ground. In the critical moment, the young master in the carriage directly mounted the horse and subdued the raging horse.

Gao Xiyue fell to the ground, looking up at the young man, her veiled hat already blown off by the impact.

Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered in dust, but it did not diminish her beauty in the slightest.

Her skin was as white as ice and as smooth as jade, and she seemed to radiate light under the sun.

She was already a beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, but her fluttering hair and disheveled appearance added to her brokenness, making her look like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

A look of amazement flashed in the young master's eyes. He dismounted and, looking at the beauty being helped up by her maid, bowed apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, the horse was startled for some reason and disturbed you all. Is it injured?"

"No." Gao Xiyue shook her head, took the veiled hat that Xingxuan had picked up, dusted it off, and put it on.

Although Gao Xiyue was somewhat disgusted, this was outside after all. Her father had said that there were many nobles and royalty in the capital, and her appearance was too outstanding, so she should conceal it when going out.

Today's farce was not an accident, but rather something she did on purpose.

The Fourth Prince is not yet Zhen Huan's adopted son. Zhen Huan is still the nun Mochou, staying at Ganlu Temple.

Hongli and Qingying haven't met yet, so naturally she wants Hongli to meet her beforehand.

"There should be a clothing store nearby, perhaps..."

"No need, young master didn't mean it. I've been out for a long time and I'm afraid my elders at home will worry, so I'll take my leave now." Gao Xiyue politely declined, curtsied, and left with Xingxuan and the others.

Having achieved her goal, Gao Xiyue naturally wouldn't talk to him much, as she didn't intend to reveal her identity.

He was captivated at first sight, and occasionally saw her in his dreams, yet he could not find her anywhere in the capital.

When we meet at Jiangxue Pavilion, we'll be pleasantly surprised, won't we?
