"So he's Chu Chuyan's younger brother." Zheng Dan was no longer as flustered as before. They were all from Mingyue City, and he was even Chu Chuyan's classmate. He looked at Chu Youzhao like he was his own younger brother, so he didn't panic like he did when he saw the Sang family.
Zu An felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly tried to pull at Zheng Dan's clothes.
Zheng Dan's face instantly turned red: "What are you doing? Chu Youzhao is coming in."
Her meaning was quite clear: I wouldn't mind if you took off my clothes at another time, but now that your brother-in-law is about to come in, wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant of you to take them off now?
Seeing her strange look, Zu'an knew she had misunderstood and quickly said, "Your clothes!"
Now, she appears as Chu Chuyan to others, which is more than enough to deceive the Sang family father and daughter, but she is easily exposed in front of her closest relatives.
Moreover, Chu Youzhao must have been in frequent contact with her sister, so she naturally knew that her sister couldn't possibly be in the capital at this time.
Zheng Dan also realized that she didn't know her appearance had changed. She just thought she was wearing Chu Chuyan's clothes, which could easily lead people to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
She smiled charmingly: "I'll wear it for you next time when no one's around."
After saying that, she swayed and hid behind the screen to change back into her own clothes.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Zheng Dan was such a woman; she had a firm grasp on men's psychology.
However, he didn't have time to think about these things right now and hurriedly went to the door to buy Zheng Dan some time.
"Sister..." Chu Youzhao ran too fast and bumped directly into Zu An's arms.
Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly took a step back from his embrace: "You naughty brother-in-law, you did this on purpose!"
Zuan rubbed her head: "It's your fault for not being able to change your impatient nature."
Then he nodded to the tanned, sunny girl beside him: "Qinghe is here too."
That's obvious, these two are always together, it would be strange if they didn't come.
"Hello, Brother Zu." Murong Qinghe smiled shyly. In fact, she was usually a tomboy in the military camp, but she always felt a little shy in front of Brother Chu's family.
"Huh, where's my sister?" Chu Youzhao stood on tiptoe and peered over Zu An's tall figure.
Zu An feigned ignorance: "What, your sister?"
Chu Youzhao slipped under his arm: "I just ran into the Sang family outside, and they said my sister is here."
Murong Qinghe instinctively wanted to follow her, but she was too embarrassed to pass under another man and stood there feeling extremely awkward.
Fortunately, Zu'an immediately stepped aside: "What sister or younger sister? How could your sister be here?"
"It's indeed unlikely." In fact, Chu Youzhao was also very doubtful. After all, she knew that her sister should be too busy with the mess in Mingyue City to be here. But Sang Hong didn't seem to be lying.
Suddenly her gaze fell on the screen beside her, where she saw a light blue dress. She smiled and said, "Sister, it really is you."
She rushed over, but immediately exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"
Zheng Dan walked out with a smile: "Otherwise, who did Young Master Chu think it was?"
At the same time, she secretly rolled her eyes at Zu'an. This guy didn't even try to stop me. If I hadn't changed my clothes properly, wouldn't other men have seen me? Wouldn't you be the one who suffers?
The fact that Chu Youzhao was disguised as a man was the biggest secret of the Chu family, so naturally she didn't know.
Chu Youzhao looked bewildered at first, then realized what was happening and looked at the two of them suspiciously: "What are you doing here, and why are you hiding behind the screen all by yourself?"
Zheng Dan calmly replied, "I accidentally knocked over the teacup while drinking tea, which got my clothes wet, so I went behind the screen to tidy myself up."
Chu Youzhao glanced at her for a while, thinking that she couldn't see where she was wet, but it was possible that she had already wiped it clean.
She couldn't help but sneer: "Miss Zheng... oh no, I should call you Mrs. Sang now. You are a married woman now, yet you are tidying your clothes in another man's room. Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
Upon hearing the words "Madam Sang," Zheng Dan's eyelids twitched. How could this little brother be so sharp-tongued, like a woman, always stabbing at the heart?
She replied calmly, "Who said I was alone? I came here with... with my father-in-law and sister-in-law. I only stayed a little longer because I needed to tidy up my things. As for the rest, your sister and I are classmates, and your brother-in-law is my teacher. He's a well-known gentleman, so why would I worry about such trivial matters?"
Chu Youzhao's breath hitched. She was genuinely happy that the other woman praised her brother-in-law, but to praise him as a gentleman... This woman is quite beautiful, it's a pity she went blind at such a young age.
Zu An coughed lightly: "Alright, alright, Miss Zheng is, after all, a fellow townsman of Mingyue City. It's rather impolite of you to treat her like a criminal from the moment you arrive."
Although the other party's explanation was reasonable, Chu Youzhao still felt that the whole thing was strange. She suddenly pointed to the light blue dress on the screen: "Then why is my sister's dress there?"
Zheng Dan's expression changed; she really didn't know how to explain this.
Fortunately, Zuan reacted quickly and said in a heavy tone, "Your sister and I have been separated for too long. When things were so difficult in the secret realm, it was your sister who supported me through it. After we came out, I could only hold onto her old clothes to ease my longing, as if she were still by my side with me."
"Brother-in-law~" Chu Youzhao's eyes immediately reddened. She thought to herself, "So my brother-in-law is so affectionate towards my sister. I even doubted him. He's such a scoundrel."
