"This, this, am I seeing things? How come Young Master Zhou is here with Grand Tutor Cheng's daughter?" The noblewoman in red turned her head and asked, her face full of disbelief.
"Hasn't he been pestering Sister Yun all this time?"
"Moreover, because of Miss Lin's saying that men should respect themselves, even her personal maid was replaced with a servant boy."
"To be out with Miss Cheng in broad daylight, isn't he afraid that Sister Yun will never speak to him again? Or is this a deliberate tactic to provoke Sister Yun?"
"......."
The ladies were all excited.
The story of Zhou Cheng's extraordinary efforts to win over Lin Jiaoyun was known to everyone in the capital.
In the past, which of these young ladies didn't envy Lin Jiaoyun?
Who wouldn't secretly mock Cheng Xianyi for having beauty and talent but being unable to keep a man's heart, deserving that she can't get married!
For the past three years, Cheng Xianyi has endured endless ridicule and sarcasm, and has almost never left her home, never attending a festival banquet again.
The woman in the blue silk dress frowned. She couldn't sit still any longer and immediately took her leave from her sisters: "Sisters, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
She had to hurry to the Lin residence and ask Lin Jiaoyun what was going on.
Zhou Cheng is incredibly audacious!
This is insane!
He was a lowly and submissive servant who had to coax, yield to, and tolerate Sister Yun in every way, yet he dared to hold the hand of another woman behind Sister Yun's back.
The woman in the blue dress stormed into the Lin residence indignantly. Clearly, Zhou Cheng's forbearance and humility over the years had made everyone in the capital forget that he was the young master of the General's Mansion!
And Lin Jiaoyun?
In terms of family background and social status, they were only fit to be his concubine!
"Bang--"
"What did you say?"
Lin Jiaoyun's features were contorted with rage as she glared at the girl in the blue dress who had informed her: "Zhou Cheng took that bitch Cheng Xianyi's hand and went to the red-light district?"
The woman in the blue dress was startled to see Lin Jiaoyun so angry.
She nodded and said, "That's right, we saw it with our own eyes!"
"Sister Yun, what exactly happened? Everyone in the official circle knows that Young Master Zhou is head over heels in love with you and cherishes you so much that he's afraid of breaking you. How could he dare to do such an absurd thing?"
"Moreover, it's Cheng Xianyi... He knows best that the woman you hate the most in the capital is Cheng Xianyi, and he used to avoid her like the plague."
The fire in Lin Jiaoyun's chest suddenly surged upwards.
What else could it be!
It's all to force myself to back down and agree to the engagement!
Originally, Lin Jiaoyun only wanted to maintain a certain distance and not let Zhou Cheng succeed easily, and then reluctantly agree to the engagement after he asked for her seven or eight times.
Now?
hehe!
"Good, very good, very good."
Lin Jiaoyun's lips trembled with anger: "Zhou Cheng! I declare that from today onwards, you have completely lost me!"
The woman in the blue dress was startled and was about to say something.
Lin Jiaoyun raised her hand to interrupt her, coldly saying, "The Zhou family came to propose marriage a few days ago, but I refused. Zhou Cheng probably harbors resentment, so he used this method to make me jealous."
"But he crossed my line!"
"Threatening me with this kind of tactic? He doesn't even deserve it! He's the one who's clinging to me like a dead dog, not the other way around! He's really pushing his luck!"
"Lanlan, please go and tell Zhou Cheng a message for me right now."
"No...you don't need to bring it."
“The more I rush to question him, the more it shows that I care about this matter. I will pretend that nothing has happened, let him be anxious, let him go crazy, let him go mad.”
"And then... humph! He can chase me to the crematorium!"
Seeing Lin Jiaoyun's confidence and poise, the woman in the blue dress swallowed her words.
She had originally wanted to say that seeing Zhou Cheng's happy and cherished expression just now, it didn't seem like he was using Cheng Xianyi to make her jealous, but rather like he had really given up on her.
But... Sister Keyun is so sure, it's probably because Zhou Cheng's disguise is too convincing, right?
Um.
Definitely!
The woman in the blue dress breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, she had taken advantage of Lin Jiaoyun to receive a lot of jewelry, all of which were given to her by Zhou Cheng at his request. She didn't want to give up this sucker.
"Sister Yun, you're right. Zhou Cheng is definitely waiting for you to come and question him. He's probably very nervous and anxious."
