"Besides, what right do you have to tear her apart now? Don't forget, you haven't even talked things out with Ma Zhiqing yet! You're not in the right to do this!"
After being stopped, Cao Zhiqing regained some of her composure; she truly had no right to stop it now…
However, she wouldn't actually let that little hussy get her way!
"Hmph! I won't let her get entangled with Ma Zhiqing! I'm going tonight too!"
Seeing her like this, Zhang Zhiqing's eyes, where she couldn't see, were filled with a triumphant smile.
"Okay, okay, whatever you do, I'll support you!"
After offering a few more words of comfort, she made an excuse to leave the room.
A gentle knock was made in another room.
The people inside were still awake, and they came to open the door when they heard the knocking.
Who is it?
"It's me, Zhang Ru!" She lowered her voice, afraid that Cao Zhiqing in the other room would hear her.
As soon as the door opened, the person who opened it for her was none other than Qian Zhiqing.
Her hair was loose, and she had changed her shoes; she was clearly planning to go to sleep.
"Zhang Zhiqing, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhang Ru forced a smile and took her hand. "Come on, I have something very important to tell you!"
Qian Zhiqing was curious about why she was looking for him, so he followed her force out of the room.
After leaving the backyard, Zhang Zhiqing walked until she reached a room where they could no longer hear each other's conversation before stopping.
"Qian Zhiqing and Cao Zhiqing have gone mad!!"
Her flustered expression seemed genuine.
Qian Zhiqing immediately panicked, "What? What happened? What's wrong with her?"
Zhang, the educated youth, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, lowering her voice further, "Cao, the educated youth... she made an appointment with Ma, the educated youth, to go to the grove at 10:30 tonight..."
"You know, she's always liked Ma Zhiqing, and she's really going all out today! But, but a man and a woman alone together in the woods late at night, if someone accidentally sees them, and word gets out..."
"What will become of our reputation as female educated youth?! You're in charge of us female educated youth; if this really happens, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"
“I’m scared too! I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn’t listen. You know, she’ll be nineteen next year…”
These words successfully provoked Qian Zhiqing's dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! You can't just rush into anything when you're old! You're really a disgrace to us women!"
I'm going there tonight too. I absolutely can't let her ruin the reputation of us female educated youth!"
If they were caught having illicit relationships, not only would Cao and Ma be in trouble, but all the female educated youth would also be gossiped about!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Zhiqing smiled slightly.
After finishing this task, she wrote another note and slipped it into Ma Zhiqing and Zhao Liang's room. She knocked a few times, and when she heard a sound from inside, she quickly ran away.
When Ma Zhiqing opened the door, he didn't see a soul in sight. He cursed under his breath and was about to close the door when he noticed the note on the ground.
His eyes were deep as he crouched down and picked up the note.
Upon opening it, it read: "If there is anything to discuss, meet at the grove at 10 o'clock. Cao Fang."
Seeing that he was standing at the door in a daze and hadn't come over, Zhao Liang walked over.
"Hmm? What does Cao Zhiqing want with you?"
Ma, the educated youth, shook his head. "Fool!" This isn't Cao, the educated youth, looking for him! This is a ploy to lure him away from his post!
The person behind this scheme knew he wouldn't believe it, yet they still plotted against him, showing they were certain he would go.
He will indeed go; there's no other way. This matter has already involved him. If he doesn't go, and if anything happens to Cao Zhiqing tonight, he won't be able to escape responsibility!
