Chapter 370: How can you take a child’s words seriously?
The next day, when Yu Qinghuan woke up, Cheng Gongjin had already left.
When Sang Ru came closer with the basin of water, she saw that she stood up by holding her waist, and there were many marks on her exposed arms and the back of her neck, which was very obvious.
She frowned and said, "Miss, you are going out today. Didn't you tell Elder Cheng?"
Why doesn't Lord Cheng know how to restrain himself? He has made the girl suffer like this. How can she go out today?
It would have been fine if Sang Ru hadn't asked, but when she did, Yu Qinghuan sighed and cursed Cheng Gongjin in her heart.
"I did."
Cheng Gongjin didn't say anything on the surface, but he had never left such marks on her before, which showed that he had done it on purpose last night.
Sang Ru immediately understood that Lord Cheng didn't want the girl to go out, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only do it secretly... He was really insidious.
"Girl, are we still going out today?"
Yu Qinghuan nodded. He had already agreed to go to Zheng Mansion today and it would be bad to break the appointment.
She looked at the marks on her neck through the bronze mirror. They weren't too obvious. "Try your hair in a bun, leave some hair to cover it up, and then put on some powder to cover it up."
Sang Ru nodded and said that this was fine. As long as the powder was not rubbed off, no one should be able to tell.
...
When they arrived at Zheng's house, the maid took her all the way to the backyard, which was the pavilion she had visited before. There were many more fish in the pond that had not been there before.
The maid was very polite, "My daughter will be here soon. Please wait here for a moment, Miss Yu."
Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly and picked up the fish food on the plate next to him.
After the maid left, she looked around and found that she had not seen Zheng Qibai along the way.
She originally thought that Zheng Qibai knew she was coming and would be waiting for her on a road in the mansion, just like he had done before, watching her not far from the pavilion.
But she looked around and there was no sign of Zheng Qibai. Could it be that he was angry about the day she rejected his post?
As soon as Sang Ru saw it, she knew that her girl was thinking of Zheng Xiaolangjun. The last time she came to Zheng's house, the girl teased Zheng Xiaolangjun. This time, she must not get caught.
She reminded quietly, "Miss, this is in the Zheng Mansion."
After all, we are at someone else's house, so it's better to keep a distance from Mr. Zheng to avoid any trouble.
After all, Mr. Zheng is young and not very thoughtful. It would be bad if he pestered the girl and did something wrong and was seen by others.
Yu Qinghuan laughed, "Anxin, look at him, he can't even see his shadow."
When Zheng Qingrong came, her pace quickened noticeably. When she saw Yu Qinghuan, her eyes lit up. "Ah Huan, you look so beautiful today!"
Especially with her hair combed like a girl, she doesn't look like she has given birth to a child at all, but clearly looks like an unmarried woman.
She suddenly felt that it was normal for her brother to like Yu Qinghuan. If she were a man, she would like him too and would marry her. Just looking at him made her feel good.
"You are alone now, so don't wear your hair in a bun like those women. This style suits you better."
After being praised, Yu Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed. "No, don't keep saying such nice things to coax me. I almost take them seriously."
Zheng Qingrong immediately said, "Why should I coax you? You are just pretty, otherwise my brother wouldn't..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
She smiled awkwardly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thinking: That was a close call, I almost let the cat out of the bag.
Yu Qinghuan looked puzzled and a little guilty, so she asked tentatively, "What happened to your brother?"
"No, he just said you were pretty earlier, did you forget?"
Zheng Qingrong felt a little guilty when she said this. After all, her brother was thinking about Yu Qinghuan, and she helped to hide it. She felt a little sorry for Yu Qinghuan.
But she was not afraid that Yu Qinghuan would become distant from her after knowing this. She did not want to miss out on such a good friend as Yu Qinghuan because of her brother.
What's more, she had helped me and was indebted to me.
Thinking of this, she cursed Zheng Qibai in her heart. He could like anyone else, but he had to set his sights on Yu Qinghuan. He really deserved a beating.
Yu Qinghuan was surprised and thought about it. Did Zheng Qibai say such words again?
No.
He blushed when he saw me, so he didn't have the courage to say such words.
I think Arong remembered it wrongly, but...if it was a mistake, does it mean that Zheng Qibai said that other girls were pretty, and then Arong remembered it as himself.
Thinking of this, she pursed her red lips and said, "You are so good, Zheng Qibai. You look simple, but you have a lot on your mind."
Meeting Zheng Qingrong's gaze, Yu Qinghuan curled the corners of his lips, "How can I take a child's words seriously?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qingrong felt sad for her brother. How pitiful! What's the point of having a secret crush on someone? She only treats you as a child.
She felt it necessary to say a few words on behalf of her brother.
"That's not the case. Qi Bai is five years younger than me, so he's only three years younger than you. He's old enough to get married, so he can't be treated like a child."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, "Is his marriage settled?"
Zheng Qingrong: "No, although my mother intends to arrange a suitable marriage for him, he is a playful person, so I guess it will take a few more years."
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. If Zheng Qibai had already decided on the marriage, she would have to avoid Zheng Qibai from now on.
Thinking of this, she pretended to ask casually, "By the way, why don't I see your brother? Did he go out?"
Sang Ru, who was standing by, was worried for her girl. She was not afraid that Miss Zheng would find out anything if she asked about Mr. Zheng at this time.
The girl is so brave.
Zheng Qingrong smiled, "I don't know what's wrong with him these past few days. He's been in a bad mood. He even drank a little last night. I guess he's still asleep right now."
Yu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Drinking?"
I can't believe that at this age, he still drowns his sorrows in alcohol.
Zheng Qingrong nodded. "Oh, right, I'm planning a wedding banquet these days, and the winery sent over a few jars of sweet wine. Try them. If you like them, take two jars home today."
As she spoke, she signaled the maid to fetch some wine.
After a while, the maid who came back with the wine poured wine for the two people who were talking. As soon as she finished pouring Zheng Qingrong's glass, she walked to Yu Qinghuan. As soon as she poured the wine, it overflowed and splashed all over Yu Qinghuan.
"Ah!" Sang Ru exclaimed.
The maid was startled and quickly knelt down to apologize.
Zheng Qingrong's face suddenly turned cold. After a few scoldings, she told the maid to go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment. Then she asked Yu Qinghuan, "Ah Huan, are you okay?"
Yu Qinghuan wiped the wine off her hands with a handkerchief and glanced at the maid. "It's okay, my clothes are just wet. I need to change."
Zheng Qingrong said no again, "I'll take you to change clothes..."
Yu Qinghuan smiled and pressed her hand. "No need. Just wait for me here so you don't have to walk back and forth. I'll be back after I change my clothes."
As she spoke, she pointed at the maid who had just spilled wine on her and said, "Let her lead the way for me."
