Chapter 367 Limited Skin Award
The sisters-in-law lit a few more candles and could see clearly that the cloth used to wipe He Zhaojun's face was stained with a lot of black and yellow palm oil, and He Zhaojun's neck and arms that were not wiped were not the same color.
"She seemed to have intentionally smeared something on her skin..." Several people stopped, unsure what to do. He Zhaojun had done this on purpose, clearly trying to hide something. But because of them, their good intentions had led to bad consequences. When He Zhaojun woke up the next day, she wouldn't blame them, would she?
As they were talking, they heard a few people talking outside the door. It seemed that Huo Buyi was escorting his pregnant wife to deliver something to He Zhaojun.
Shao Shang, with a bulging belly, held a small bottle in her hand and handed it to the eldest sister-in-law of the He family: "This is called palm oil. It seems that Sister Zhaojun used it to rub on her skin. You should be able to use it."
After a while, everyone worked together to patch up the discolored part of He Zhaojun's clothes. After tossing and turning until the second half of the night, He Zhaojun finally fell asleep peacefully. She slept in the same bed she had at home before, and she didn't even feel uncomfortable at all.
As a pregnant woman, Shao Shang could no longer support herself and had to return home first. Huo Buyi had just carried her onto the carriage when he saw another carriage parked at the gate of He's house. It was Gu Guan who came to pick up Wen Ziduan and take him back home.
"Young Master, now that the young lady has returned, and has even agreed to marry you, you don't have to wait here tonight." Gu Guan earnestly advised Wen Ziduan to go back and rest early today, otherwise he would look like an unreliable person if he hung around in front of someone else's house.
Wen Ziduan turned around again and said, "After we say goodbye today, we won't see each other again until ten days later. By then, Zhaojun will officially enter the palace, and we won't have much chance to see each other in the meantime. What should we do?"
Gu Guan looked up at the sky and said, "You can endure more than 300 days a year, but why do you seem unable to survive these ten days?"
Huo Buyi didn't refute him. After all, he had been separated from Shao Shang for a long time and understood the feeling of losing and regaining someone. Moreover, if Long Feibai hadn't been able to confirm He Zhaojun's physical condition for so long, and if these people knew that He Zhaojun was still safe, Wen Ziduan might have really gone crazy.
"Ziduan, has everything been arranged in your mansion? Ten days is not a long time. You have to deal with the rooms that need to be repaired and locked quickly, otherwise you will have nowhere to cry when the time comes." Shao Shang opened the car window and reminded Wen Ziduan to quickly lock up the other bedrooms in the mansion, so that He Zhaojun would not really have to sleep in a separate room from him.
Wen Ziduan finally came to his senses, and was a little surprised. He had deliberately kept everything in Princess Jingyuan's mansion intact, and the bedroom where He Zhaojun had lived was also kept in his own mansion as the third prince. Now he saw that he had to lock them all.
"Yes, yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten!" Wen Ziduan quickly boarded the carriage and told Gu Guan to hurry back to the Third Prince's residence. After all, He Zhaojun would never escape his grasp in this lifetime. Using these ten days to manipulate her life, how could it not be said to be completely worth it?
He sat in the carriage, pressing his temples with a headache, "Gu Guan, where are the new clothes you made for me?"
"Didn't the young master say that since the young lady is not around, it's useless for you to dress up, and that you're busy with work all day and don't seem to have time to dress up, so you asked me to throw everything away?" Gu Guan deliberately used what he had said before to insult him.
Wen Ziduan had an even greater headache: "If we go to order it now, it seems that we won't be able to finish it within ten days... We have to think of a way to charm Zhaojun." Concubine Yue told him that the reason He Zhaojun chose him at that time was because of his face, so he had to make use of his strengths.
Gu Guan suppressed a laugh: "Don't worry, young master, I have been adhering to the teachings of the young lady and managing the household frugally. The clothes are still there, and they are all made according to the patterns and layouts set by the young lady. I'm sure she will like them!"
He didn't dare tell Wen Ziduan that He Zhaojun had named the clothing design book "Peacock Skin Atlas".
