Chapter 111 Sisterly Love
"fine."
Gu Rongyu spoke against his will.
It's really nothing! Because, the fluctuations in his heart belong to him and have nothing to do with anyone else. If Chang Xixi knew such selfish thoughts, he would definitely die once.
The two returned to Qingya Garden together. The uninvited guest was waiting in the yard. Who else could it be? It was naturally Zhou Zhiwei.
She also learned from other maids what the eldest lady asked her to do!
She was about to go back to her room, but she heard the news unexpectedly. She always believed that Chang Xixi had scared the lady with a drug, causing her to give her such an important task and forget about her own daughter.
She is here to seek justice!
Why? Why! What's the point? Doesn't she understand that she's not good enough?
"Hey! Look who's this! You're here at this time, I'm afraid you have something to talk to me about... Why aren't you pretending like last time? Keep pretending to be pitiful."
Chang Xixi pursed her lips and smiled.
She knew better than anyone why Zhou Zhiwei came! However, this matter really had to be handled by her, because she was no longer a member of the Zhou family.
A person who is not a member of the Zhou family comes into contact with people from the Zhang family on the Zhou family's territory. There is suspicion, but it is not that big!
It should be said that everyone felt that Chang Xixi had no say in the Zhou family. At best, she was just an distant relative who came to ask for money. How could she be asked to deliver such an important letter? There was only one possibility, and that was it!
That's why... the doctor asked Chang Xixi to do it! She had to do this.
Zhou Zhiwei couldn't possibly complete this task. After all, she was now the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family! Because of this relationship, there were many things she couldn't do openly.
It’s a pity that Zhou Zhiwei doesn’t understand the checks and balances on power, nor does he know how to balance these powers and guess people’s hearts.
If she could, then... her status in the Zhou Mansion would definitely not be what it is today!
At least she is an important and powerful figure in the Zhou family. The eldest lady will let her take a chance on the family affairs and she won't have to eat idle meals all day.
Chang Xixi sighed quietly and warned, "Tomorrow, your people shouldn't come here. Naturally, you shouldn't come either! It's not appropriate."
"You, what are you going to do? Are you going to join Miss Zhang in excluding me?"
"Xenophobia? I'm not that boring. I'm not a child anymore. Why would I bother with xenophobia?" Chang Xixi said disdainfully. She turned around and looked at Gu Rongyu, who had been holding her hand. "Go to the teahouse tomorrow! Go home in the evening. We should avoid suspicion. We can't be unreasonable. But one day apart is not a big deal, right?"
Gu Rongyu couldn't bear to let her go!
However, thinking about how important that thing was, and how dangerous it was, he kind of acquiesced. For the sake of their future lives, and for everything to go smoothly on their way to Kyoto, he… he endured it. It was just one day apart, nothing serious.
Zhou Zhiwei felt sad when he saw what was happening.
There was nothing I could do but leave in disgrace.
Chang Xixi returned to the room and looked at the wooden box in her hand. She did not open it rashly, nor did she plan to open it to see the contents of the object she was going to send.
Judging from the eldest lady's appearance, she must have never seen such a thing before.
The next day, early in the morning, Chang Xixi dressed neatly and asked Li Da to send someone to pick her up. In order to ensure Chang Xixi's safety, Li Da only asked Ren Wen to go, and asked the servants of Zhou Mansion to follow.
He stayed in Qingya Garden by himself.
Gu Rongyu and Chang Xixi had a sweet breakfast together, and were then driven out of the courtyard. They could only go to the teahouse to pass the time and have fun. He also wanted to listen to the full story that Chang Xixi told the old woman yesterday.
At one o'clock in the morning, Miss Zhang arrived through the back door.
However, everyone in Ruzhou City knew that Miss Zhang had come to the Zhou Mansion, but the person she met was Chang Xixi, not Zhou Zhiwei from the Zhou Mansion. They all knew that this was her true confidant.
They prepared lunch first and enjoyed it together in the room, with only their personal maids present.
Chang Xixi said without pretense, "Miss Zhang, my place is simple. I'm also living under someone else's roof, and there are many inconveniences. Please forgive me. I do have a house in Ruzhou City, but it's very small."
"No matter where we go, as long as you're there... I think it's fine. Even if I come in through the back door, I'm fine with it! If it's your own house, I can go there."
Although Miss Zhang is from a noble family, she is not as snobbish as the servants in her family.
The dishes on the table were not bad either. Miss Zhang did not hesitate to let her personal maid join her for dinner, and Chang Xixi also asked Xiaohong to sit down.
If Gu Rongyu is not at home and does not go to the eldest lady's house for dinner, Xiaohong will also eat with her. The distinction is not so clear to the outside world, and the master and the mistress are of one mind.
Chang Xixi saw that Miss Zhang felt the same way and gave a knowing smile.
After dinner, the two of them discussed their thoughts in the yard and held a poetry reading for two. They were in high spirits, but there was not so much, so it was less fun. But they were still happy to have some peace and quiet.
At noon, the two rolled onto the bed together to sleep. Miss Zhang regretted not having seen Gu Rongyu. Chang Xixi said, "Miss Zhang, don't feel sorry. We... have plenty of opportunities. Wait until you get married, and we'll meet. It's perfect for my husband to meet your husband, and you to meet me. If my husband were here today, and you came and didn't avoid suspicion, wouldn't you be criticized by those outsiders?"
Miss Zhang paused, then climbed up with half of her arm exposed. "You're absolutely right."
The two of them slept in a hurry, and when they woke up it was already 1:30 pm, and it was time for her to get ready to go back.
Miss Zhang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the elegantly decorated room. "Your room is even more upscale than Miss Zhou's legitimate master's. The eldest lady really likes you. No wonder Zhiwei is jealous of you, almost crazy. Fortunately, I am attracted by your talent, so we can be so close. Unfortunately, this day passed too short, and I told you so much. I don't know when we will meet again."
Chang Xixi smiled and said, "If you get married closer, we can play together every day."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Miss Zhang said shyly, "I have a crush on someone. I don't know when he will marry me. I hope he will keep our agreement."
Chang Xixi was actually very interested in who the other party was, but now was not the time to ask.
She took out a small porcelain bottle from her space, and then took out the wooden box, "These are all for you."
