Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci's expressions changed at the same time.
"Changle, why do you say that? I just think I'm friends with Miss Qu!" Xiao Rui was eager to explain.
Xiao Ci was also a little anxious: "I also invested money in Yueji!"
Changle snorted twice, his eyes mocking: "What's the point of you explaining to me? You have to make the people of the whole city believe it!"
After being criticized by Changle, Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci's faces looked like overturned color palettes.
Changle took Bai Fengyao's arm and said in a bad tone: "Li'er, let's go!"
Bai Fengyao had long been jealous of Bai Ruowei's friendship with Changle.
At that time, she also thought about trying to please Changle, but unfortunately, Changle was a very difficult person to approach.
The sarcasm and ridicule often made her lose face, and over time, she gradually gave up thinking about it.
However, the fact that she couldn't touch the County Lady Changle didn't stop her from making trouble for Bai Ruowei.
Bai Zhonghe is a selfish person. He thinks that she will become the Princess of Chen sooner or later, so he treats her, a concubine's daughter, too well.
"Li'er, what are you thinking about?" Changle stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Bai Fengyao pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, "I'm not thinking about anything! I'm just very happy."
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anyone bully Li'er!"
Bai Fengyao always felt that Changle's words were a bit strange.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with it.
"Okay, let's go back!" She looked at Qiao Zi, "Why don't you help your young master get on the carriage quickly?"
Qiao Zi nodded.
The moment the carriage curtain was lowered, Changle and Qu Wenzhao's eyes met, and their eyes were filled with thousands of words and twists and turns.
The carriage stopped outside the Wenzhao Courtyard. Changle said to her, "Li'er, you've been in the Jingzhao prison for the past few days, and you've picked up a lot of bad luck. I heard that willow branches can be used to swat away bad luck. Just stand still!"
As she spoke, she took the willow branch that Qiao Zi handed over.
The willow branches fell on Bai Fengyao's back, and the burning pain made her eyes red, and her facial features were almost piled together.
"Li'er, don't be so touched! We are good friends!" As he said this, he injected his internal energy into the willow branch and dropped it without mercy.
Bai Fengyao was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She took two deep breaths and held Changle's hand: "Changle, it should be almost done!"
"No, you have to whip me nine times. Otherwise, those filthy things will always follow you like a shadow! You don't want us to be tainted by bad luck, do you?"
Bai Fengyao clenched her hands tightly, almost biting her teeth off.
If Changle's eyes were not unusually sincere and without any calculation in them, she would really think that Changle was deliberately playing a prank on her.
"Seven more!" Changle patted the back of her hand soothingly.
Qu Wenzhao also smiled shyly and consoled her: "Eldest sister, Changle is in a serious condition."
Bai Fengyao didn't say anything.
“Pah pah pah——”
Another seven hits, Bai Fengyao was about to faint from the pain.
Changle threw the willow branch on the ground and took her arm with a smile.
"Li'er, it's over, the bad luck is gone! Step over another fire pot, and from now on, only good luck will remain!"
Bai Fengyao's back was covered in sticky sweat at this time. When she heard about jumping over the fire basin, her heart finally settled down.
Qiao Zi placed the brazier at the door and respectfully called out, "Miss."
She lifted the hem of her skirt and raised her feet as high as possible to avoid touching the brazier.
The flames suddenly shot up and licked the hem of her skirt.
With a "whoosh", the skirt caught fire. Bai Fengyao screamed and jumped up and down, trying to put out the fire.
Changle's face also turned pale. While yelling, "Li'er, did you touch the fire?", he grabbed the bucket for watering the flowers.
A bucket of water was poured on Bai Fengyao, and she looked as miserable as a drowned rat.
"Li'er, I told you that this year is not going to be a good year for you. Why don't we go to the temple to pray?"
Bai Fengyao lowered her head and looked at her wet skirt with a sinister look in her eyes.
She felt that Changle did it on purpose!
But she has no evidence!
Besides, this face is not a disguise. Someone as thick-skinned as Changle would not recognize that she is an imposter so quickly.
Qu Wenzhao looked worried. "Sister, Changle is not someone who doesn't understand things. It's probably because the hem of your skirt accidentally touched the fire."
Bai Fengyao took several deep breaths and finally managed to temporarily suppress the chaotic emotions in her heart.
"It's okay! I'm a little tired, so I'll rest first."
"Okay! I'll ask Meng Zhi to bring some food from the restaurant over later."
Bai Fengyao nodded uninterested and returned to her room.
The moment the door closed, her face looked gloomy and terrifying.
He took off his clothes and looked in the bronze mirror.
The back is still as smooth as before, without any trace.
She frowned, her eyes filled with confusion.
She had just been hit on the back by a willow branch and was almost fainting from the pain, so how come there was no mark at all?
Even if she wanted to apply some ointment now, she had no idea where to apply it.
"Eldest sister!"
Hearing Qu Wenzhao's voice, she put her clothes back on.
"What's wrong?"
"Eldest sister, don't blame Changle! You've been locked up in the prison these past few days, and she's been looking for you everywhere. She even went to the palace several times to ask the Empress Dowager to intercede for you."
Bai Fengyao didn't say anything.
"She did all this today simply because she was worried about you!"
"How could I blame Changle! Don't worry! I'm not that petty."
Qu Wenzhao nodded and said, "Then elder sister, please take a shower first. I'll be leaving first. See you in the dining room later."
"good."
Qu Wenzhao had just pushed his wheelchair back to the room when Changle held down his arms.
She stared at the blushing boy without blinking, and asked proudly, "Qu Wenzhao, was I great just now?"
As she spoke, her warm breath sprayed all over his face, and it was as if a feather had been added to his heart, gently teasing it and causing ripples.
"Why don't you speak?" Changle's brows were almost wrinkled into a knot.
Qu Wenzhao swallowed and looked away.
"Qu Wenzhao!" Changle held his face in his hands. "Don't you think what I did just now was too much?"
"no!"
Bai Fengyao had bullied her elder sister in the way that she did before. If he hadn't been disabled and angry at Qu Li for not being ungrateful, he would have taught Bai Fengyao a lesson long ago.
Now that God has given him the opportunity and Bai Fengyao has come to him on her own initiative, he would feel sorry for this opportunity if he doesn't teach her a lesson!
"Then what happened to you?"
Changle was a little anxious and didn't even notice that they were very close. With just a little bit, their lips would touch each other.
"Can I kiss you?"
"ah?"
Changle's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her cheeks were so red that they looked like blood would come out if pinched.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
My heart was like a clockwork spring, beating fast...
