181 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 180

Chapter 179 Everyone offers incense

The carriage swayed forward, and Zhao Shuyu felt like sitting on pins and needles while sitting in the carriage.

Sometimes she lowered her eyes and fiddled with her fingers, sometimes she raised her head and looked out the window, but she didn’t dare to look at the woman sitting opposite.

Along the way, Gao Qinxue watched Zhao Shuyu make small movements and did not miss the few inconspicuous marks on her neck.

Gao Qinxue smiled faintly, looked at the greenery outside the window, and said harmoniously: “How did my sister sleep last night?”

Zhao Shuyu was stunned, nodded hesitantly, and whispered back: “It’s acceptable.”

Seeing her insincere and cautious expression, Gao Qinxue suddenly laughed, “Did something unusual come into my sister’s room last night?”

Unusual?

When Zhao Shuyu heard this, she suddenly panicked.

Could it be that the cousin of the Gao family knew that the second brother stayed in her room last night?

Gao Qinxue saw Zhao Shuyu’s expression flickering and nervousness on her face, which was tender and cute, and she finally couldn’t help but smile, “It’s not strange to have mosquitoes in this winter. Just remember to apply medicine when my sister goes back.”

After saying that, Gao Qinxue tapped her neck with her hand to signal, and Zhao Shuyu understood immediately.

Zhao Shuyu lowered her head, blushed, and thanked her in a low voice.

He quickly gathered his clothes, but still couldn’t cover the marks on his neck.

When Gao Qinxue saw this, she sighed softly, shook her head and laughed.

She took off her mink scarf and handed it to Zhao Shuyu, “Sister Yu’er, use mine.”

Zhao Shuyu hesitated immediately, but before she spoke, she heard Gao Qinxue say again: “I heard that my sister was ill a few days ago. The wind is strong in Lingyu Temple. My sister has not recovered from the illness, so don’t refuse her. My maid Tao’er has prepared an extra one today.”

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Zhao Shuyu can no longer refuse. Little Xing’er was not fully prepared. She really needs a scarf now to cover up the shameful traces.

She thanked Gao Qinxue, took the white mink scarf, and awkwardly tied it around her neck. Seeing this, Gao Qinxue took the initiative to help her tidy it up.

For a moment, the two of them looked like real sisters. The elder sister was gentle and virtuous, while the younger sister was shy.

During the rest of the journey, the atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed.

Gao Qinxue was not an upright person either. She spoke softly and generously, and behaved in a measured manner.

Zhao Shuyu’s guard was gradually relieved. Although Zhao Shuyu was still a little awkward, at least on the surface, Gao Qinxue was not an annoying person.

The carriage pulling the female family members moved along the official road, followed by two other carriages.

Gao Xiheng and Zhao Xifan rode in the same carriage, while Huo Yikun and Zhao Muqing rode in another carriage.

In the troika, everyone has their own thoughts.

Let’s talk about Gao Xiheng, who shamelessly came to the door. Soon after getting on the carriage, he began to ask Zhao Xifan about Zhao Shuyu, intentionally or unintentionally.

What do you like to do on weekdays?What do you like to eat?How often do you go out?

After a lot of searching, I kept chattering, and at the end I emphasized that this was a question for others.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xifan said in a very disrespectful manner, “Who are you asking for?”

The young master of the Gao family turned red in the face. After hesitating for a long time, he held back a sentence, “Third cousin likes Zhao Shuyu and wants to make friends. I’m just asking for her.”

When Zhao Xifan heard this, he didn’t know whether to laugh at his innocent cousin or his stupidity.

But he didn’t pierce Gao Xiheng’s red face. He only said with deep meaning: “If I have a chance, I will tell you again.”
