145 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 144

Chapter 143 Concealing the truth

At this time, Zhao Muqing was blaming herself to the extreme. Zhao Shuyu’s running away from home and not daring to return at night were all related to him.

In fact, he also knew that every time he lectured and scolded her, her eyes would turn red. Although she didn’t dare to say anything, she was dissatisfied in her heart.

In Zhao Muqing’s own opinion, this is also extremely contradictory.

Ever since he had that love affair with Zhao Shuyu, his dreams at night were all about his sister’s delicate and soft body.

But this is something that cannot be tolerated by nature. Zhao Shuyu is young and ignorant, but he clearly understands that if this matter is known to outsiders, Zhao Shuyu will never think about raising his head again in this life.

However, it seems that only by strictly disciplining Zhao Shuyu can the conflict in his heart be alleviated.

Zhao Shuyu said this carefully, not daring to look at Zhao Muqing’s expression.

She lowered her head and wrapped herself tightly, because there were unsightly marks below her neck.

When she was taking a bath just now, she didn’t ask Little Myolie to serve her. Little Myolie cried until her eyes were swollen, so she didn’t think much about it and was sent to rest early by her.

At this time, little Myolie was staying in the outer room, and Zhao Muqing was sitting by the bed talking to her, but she hadn’t left yet.

In the room, an oil lamp was bright. Zhao Shuyu huddled under the quilt and told the whole story pitifully, blaming Zhao Muqing for the cause of today’s incident.

Of course, Zhao Muqing didn’t know how his little sister had such a fox-like plan, but he felt sad and blamed himself.

Thinking of Zhao Shuyu falling into the lake on this cold winter night, she didn’t dare to go home even wearing wet clothes.

I was just afraid of being scolded by him and embarrassing him.

The more he thought about it, the more heartache he felt, and suddenly he felt that all the etiquette and rules he had adhered to before were not worth mentioning at this moment.

Zhao Muqing sat beside the bed and held Zhao Shuyu in his arms across the quilt.

“Yu’er, no matter what happens in the future, don’t be afraid of us… Zhao Mansion will always be your home.”

When Zhao Shuyu heard this, her heart finally fell to the ground.

She rubbed Zhao Muqing’s chest and nodded obediently, “Second brother, Yu’er realizes that she was wrong. Yu’er will definitely listen to her brothers in the future.”

She has always been good at admitting mistakes. If she doesn’t step down now, when will she do it again?

Zhao Muqing was also very pleased, but suddenly said, “You can rest for now. I will find a female doctor to take a good look at you tomorrow.”

Zhao Shuyu was shocked by these words. There were traces of men everywhere on her body.

If someone sees her, even if she is not a doctor, but a girl like Xiao Xing’er who knows nothing about the world, she will only feel that something is wrong.

At this time, Zhao Muqing stood up, tucked Zhao Shuyu’s quilt with a gentle expression, and put down the bed curtain.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Zhao Shuyu was so frightened that she reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhao Muqing’s clothes, “Brother Muqing, don’t go -”

Zhao Muqing froze, standing beside the bed, looking at a thin white hand grabbing the corner of his clothes, and the owner of that hand looked panicked.

“What’s wrong?”

“Brother Mu Qing…I’m afraid…”

“What are you afraid of?” Zhao Muqing was stunned and said patiently.

Zhao Shuyu bit her pink lips and whispered, “Yu’er was very scared outside today… afraid that she would never be able to return to her brother again.”

This was true. She had almost been found out several times. Today’s flower party severely dampened her bold temperament.

However, these words sounded to Zhao Muqing’s ears like a hard punch, making his chest feel tight and painful.
