Han Luoxue couldn't hear what was said after that; the man in black must have covered her mouth.
However, Han Luoxue was quite satisfied with the murderous look in Chi Ling'er's eyes when she left.
Even if you're angry, so what? Everyone has to pay the price for their actions.
As for Chi Ling'er, I hope you can pray for her; perhaps she can escape as luckily as Yun Niang.
...
"What did you say? Zhou Jun is already back?" When Zhou Jie and Wang Yan returned home, they heard the servant at the door say that Zhou Jun had already returned.
"Sister Zhou, I..."
Upon hearing that Zhou Jun had arrived, Wang Yan became even more uncomfortable. She already felt a little awkward staying at the Zhou family home. Now that the person she liked was back, Wang Yan felt even more embarrassed.
"Maybe I should just move out!"
Although the two of them don't live in the same room, they live in the same courtyard, which is not a good thing to talk about.
"Oh, what are you worried about? Come on, I'll take you there right now!"
Zhou Jie is a very enthusiastic person, and with Han Luoxue also trying to bring them together, she became even more excited.
Most importantly, Zhou Jun was not averse to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan liked Zhou Jun very much.
It took the two of them more than fifteen minutes to walk to their small courtyard.
The Zhou family mansion is very large, and these side branches all live in the corners on the edge, and each of them has a main gate.
Of course, these are people who are considered prominent in their families, or who have family members who can help out in the host's home and have a stable position.
Many more people couldn't even get into the Zhou family's old house.
When Li heard that Zhou Jie was coming, she hurriedly came out to greet her. This was their eldest daughter. If they served her well, their eldest daughter would be happy, and they would also get more benefits.
"Young Miss, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Madam Li said with a fawning smile.
"Xiao Jun is still sleeping, I'll go wake him up now!"
Zhou Jie nodded, tugged at Wang Yan's hand, and whispered with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Li is very easy to talk to."
Wang Yan lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She had come to the capital so abruptly and even stayed at the Zhou family's house; she wondered if Zhou Jun would have any strange opinions about her.
Actually, she should have been more determined from the beginning to move out. Although the Zhou family is very nice, it's not a good idea to stay here all the time.
"Sister Zhou, I still want to discuss something with you. I'm moving out later."
When Wang Yan saw Zhou Jie about to stop her again, she quickly said, "Sister Zhou, I know you mean well, but I'm not staying in Beijing for just a few days. I'm happy that you let me stay at your house, but it would be fine if I were only staying in Beijing for a few days. But now, I don't know how long I'll be staying. I still want to find a place to stay elsewhere."
"Oh, you're overthinking it. Look how big our yard is. I get really bored by myself at home all the time. If you stay here, you can keep me company more, right?"
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, I'm new to the capital and don't know anyone here. You've been here longer and know the city better. Could you help me find a courtyard? We could find one that's close to your home, so it'll be easier for us to meet! You can come see me anytime! Besides, I'll need your help a lot in the capital!"
Since Wang Yan had already said that, Sister Zhou couldn't continue to stop her. Actually, she understood Wang Yan's thoughts, but she felt it was completely unnecessary.
She has always been quite direct and cheerful, and she likes to speak frankly and directly about whatever comes up.
And today...
Since Wang Yan had spoken so earnestly, Zhou Jie couldn't very well try to persuade her to stay. Just then, she saw Zhou Jun approaching from not far away. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea popped into her head:
"Well, alright, Sister Wang Yan, then I won't keep you any longer. But I might be quite busy lately, so Zhou Jun will accompany you with the house-hunting!"
When Wang Yan heard the first sentence, "I'm too busy to accompany you," she felt a little disappointed. She thought that her stubbornness in wanting to go out had angered Zhou Jie, but upon hearing the next sentence, her heart leaped with joy.
It turns out she was overthinking things; Zhou Jie was just creating an opportunity for herself.
Finding a place to live is a skill, and what kind of place she wants and whether she's willing to rent it are all up to her. She could use this opportunity to get to know Zhou Jun better.
After all, this person is cold and has never shown any interest in her before.
Even though Zhou Jie and Madam Han kept trying to match her up, Wang Yan still hoped to find a man who liked her even a little.
"That's so embarrassing."
Wang Yan whispered, and Zhou Jie chuckled, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You have no idea how busy I am right now. So many shops are waiting for me to go and check them out!"
Zhou Jie's words were perfectly justified. Although she didn't manage the store's affairs much, she was still quite busy if she wanted to.
"Zhou Jun, are you free lately?"
Upon hearing this name, Wang Yan quickly turned her head and indeed saw Zhou Jun.
"Young Master Zhou, you, you..." Wang Yan stammered. When Zhou Jun saw the nervous little woman and thought of Mu Yurou with tears on her face, he suddenly realized that Madam Han and the eldest daughter had good taste.
Between the two, he preferred to associate with Wang Yan.
"I'm free! I've been staying home lately, Miss Wang. What kind of courtyard would you like? I'll take you for a walk around in a bit!"
Hearing this, Wang Yan was overjoyed, her cheeks flushed red: "I, actually, am fine with living in any kind of courtyard!"
As long as I'm closer to the Zhou family, and closer to you, that's fine.
Of course, Wang Yan kept these words to herself.
Li watched coldly from the side, her brows furrowed and her hands clenched tightly.
This was the first time she had really looked at the girl properly. She was fairly good-looking, and it was clear that she had a gentle personality, so she should be easy to handle.
It's just that her family background isn't good enough! Her son is so outstanding, she still hopes that he can find a well-to-do young lady in the capital.
Even if her social status is slightly lower, I don't want a girl from a small county town.
Madam Li opened her mouth, knowing that she shouldn't offend the young lady at this moment, so she decided to talk about it later.
"Then you two go and have a chat first. Zhou Jun is more familiar with the residences in Beijing than I am!"
As a matchmaker, Zhou Jiele naturally tried her best to find opportunities for the two of them.
Zhou Jun nodded. "Miss Wang, let's go!"
After the two left, Zhou Jie clapped her hands in satisfaction: "These two seem quite well-matched!"
"Young Miss!"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Jie was startled. She looked up in surprise and saw Li Shi standing to the side with a dark face. She asked in astonishment, "Aunt Li, what are you still doing here?"
Li... She came out with her son and had been standing there for ages, yet her young mistress hadn't even noticed her! She really didn't take her seriously!
