Next door was Zhang Xiaoyu's room.
After entering the house, Zhang Xiaoyu nestled in Jing Zhe's arms. His words were undoubtedly the best love confessions, moving her to tears.
However, moved, she sat up from Jing Zhe's arms, her ears perked up. Clearly, the words Chu Xia had spoken loudly when she entered the room had reached her ears.
"hateful!"
Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth: "I've made it so clear to them. My husband just came back from Liangzhou and hasn't even had a chance to rest yet, and now he wants to accompany them to the newspaper office every day. Isn't this just making things difficult for him? Not only do they not listen, but they're also so domineering. I'll go back and tell my second sister!"
Even if Zhang Xiaoyu is angry, her status is ultimately not respectable. But Zhu Xinning is different. If she were to step forward, how could Chu Xia dare to act recklessly?
Upon hearing that he was looking for Zhu Xinning, Jing Zhe was startled.
Dealing with Su Mochen was already enough for him. If Zhang Xiaoyu were to file a complaint, Zhu Xinning and Murong Xi's relationship would definitely become irreconcilable. With Su Mochen added to the mix, how would he possibly win over Murong Xi in the future?
So he put his arm around Zhang Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, you don't need to tell your second sister about this, right?"
"You have to tell me!"
Zhang Xiaoyu said angrily, "When my second sister sent me to Wenxiang Residence, she specifically told me to pay close attention to whether the empress showed any special interest in my husband! Now that they are being so arrogant, of course I have to go back and report to my second sister!"
"..."
Zhang Xiaoyu has now become Zhu Xinning's little follower, having to go back and tell her everything. How can this be allowed? Isn't it like having a walking surveillance camera by her side?
Jing Zhe decided to teach her a lesson.
So he looked at her seriously and said, "Xiaoyu, will you listen to your second sister or me?"
Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes darted around as she continued to think.
"Xiaoyu, just tell the truth!"
Jing Zhe had a warm expression on his face.
"Then Xiaoyu will listen to her second sister!"
"..."
Jing Zhe's face froze instantly, somewhat speechless: "This... Xiaoyu, Second Sister isn't here, why do you have to go against your conscience and say you'll listen to her? I'm not going to go and complain."
"I didn't lie!"
Zhang Xiaoyu blinked: "Xiaoyu just listens to her second sister! Her second sister said that we women should unite so that we can keep an eye on our men—that is, our husbands!"
"..."
It seems that while I was away from Jingzhou, Zhu Xinning not only established her absolute core position in the Jingzhou girl group, but also completely "brainwashed" the other women. Now, even her own women don't listen to her anymore!
"Xiaoyu, don't listen to your second sister's nonsense!"
"Is Second Sister talking nonsense? I'll ask her when I get back."
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled mischievously, clearly teasing Jing Zhe.
Enraged, Jing Zhe reached out and slapped her, and Zhang Xiaoyu's face instantly turned red.
"My husband!"
This time, Zhang Xiaoyu practically shouted it out.
No matter how much she liked Jing Zhe, or how bold she was, she wouldn't dare do it in front of the empress next door and so many guests downstairs. Besides, opening the window would be like peeking out, which was just too shameful...
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaoyu's body couldn't help but tremble; she simply couldn't accept it.
"So, will you listen to your second sister or me?"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe became restless again.
"My...my husband..."
Although she felt a conflicted sense of anticipation, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't want to stay there and could only plead, "Husband, let's go home quickly, Second Sister is waiting for us!"
Zhang Xiaoyu was no longer the naive girl she once was, but in this situation, she still blushed and seemed somewhat at a loss for words…
