Chapter 191 Gift of Spices
It wasn't easy for Yao Tingzhi over the years. She raised Yao Zhixue by herself and also had to run a business.
Judging from the way Yao Zhixue was dressed, it seemed that she was not treated unfairly.
She was indeed a bit powerful, and probably wanted to exchange some benefits for Yao Zhixue's marriage. Yao Zhixue might not like her, but it was too heartless for her to come to her and plot against Yao Ting.
"My dear father has always been emotionally unstable. As his daughter, I can only be more tolerant." Yao Zhixue looked aggrieved.
"It was indeed thanks to you that you asked her maid to report the news last night. Madam Yao seems to be a decent person on weekdays. How could she do such an indecent thing?"
"My dear is a person who tends to get stuck in a rut. If I try to persuade her, she will get angry. I can only pay more attention to her, for fear that she will make a big mistake one day. Fortunately, it's not too late."
"It's rare to see someone as filial as Miss Yao."
Yao Zhixue asked, "Xiaoxiao, I just returned to Beijing not long ago. I don't know anyone here. I don't even have anyone to talk to on weekdays. Today, Xiaoxiao and I seem to be getting along well. Can you come and accompany Xiaoxiao more often in the future?"
Su Chenyu raised her eyebrows: "Of course, it's fine. After all, the Li family and the Yao family are relatives, so it's only natural for them to be closer."
The herbal tea that Su Chenyu was drinking was just empty, so Aunt Xu came to change it. Yao Zhixue was one step faster than Aunt Xu and changed a cup of herbal tea for Su Chenyu.
As they got closer, Su Chenyu smelled a fragrance coming from Yao Zhixue's body: "Miss Yao, what kind of spice is this? It smells really fresh."
Yao Zhixue sat down again: "This is the incense I made myself. You can't buy it outside. If you like it, I'll have someone send some over when I get back."
"Thank you very much, Miss Yao."
Having achieved her goal, Yao Zhixue heaved a sigh of relief, chatted with Su Chenyu for a few more words, and then got up to leave. When she was leaving, she ran into Li Liyanqing walking in.
Li Yanqing must have just taken a shower, and the ends of her hair were still wet. Her face, with a power that struck directly into the soul, slammed into Yao Zhixue's heart.
When he walked past Yao Zhixue, she smelled a clear and cool fragrance like cedar, which lingered around her nose for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Yao Zhixue paid her respects to Li Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing didn't even look at her, he just walked past her and entered the room.
From beginning to end, Li Liyanqing seemed to have not noticed the existence of Yao Zhixue at all.
Yao Zhixue looked a little pale. She had not expected that she would be ignored by the person she loved.
Yao Zhixue subconsciously looked inside. The moment Li Yanqing, who had been expressionless just now, saw Su Chenyu, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and his voice was gentle and doting: "How many cups of herbal tea have you drunk?"
Su Chenyu was a little afraid to say that this was the third cup she had drunk. She stood up from the couch, walked in front of Li Li Yanqing, and cautiously pulled Li Li Yanqing's sleeve, smiling with a guilty look on her face: "I didn't drink a few cups."
Li Yanqing didn't believe her words and looked at Aunt Xu standing beside her: "Aunt Xu, how many cups of herbal tea have you drunk?"
"Three cups." Aunt Xu said truthfully.
Su Chenyu quickly lowered her head, looking as if she had made a mistake.
