276 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 275

Chapter 274 Yuer stayed out last night

Tonight, the flower hall of the Zhao Mansion was extremely lively, with actors and actresses playing and singing, as well as foreign songs and dances. Some thoughtful butler also invited an exotic dancer who has become very popular in Jinzhou recently.

She has a tall nose, big eyes, and sultry blond hair. She exposed her belly and thighs. She twisted her waist and swayed her hips and danced several times. Her charming eyes were thrown to the sky, but it was a pity that she did not attract the attention of the men in the Zhao family.

At this time, the seats in the flower hall were much deserted compared to the singing and dancing outside.

Zhao Shuyu, who usually talked the most, became Zhao Quail, while Zhao Xingyuan and Huo Yikun were both speechless.

Only Zhao Muqing and Zhao Xifan are the most normal.

Zhao Muqing told Zhao Xingyuan about the eldest lady of the Yan family who came to the house during the Chinese New Year.

Ever since Zhao Shuyu and the Yan brothers and sisters were attacked while traveling in the Wuxi River, and little Xing’er returned safely, there has been no news about the Yan brothers and sisters.

Zhao Xingyuan often walks in the capital, so he knows something about the Yan family.

The Yan family in Shengjing is very prominent, but it is also indispensable for internal strife.

Even the recent attack on the Wuxi River is inseparable from the fierce internal struggle of the Yan family.

But Zhao Xingyuan didn’t want to explain these things in detail to his younger brothers and sisters.

Now that the Zhao family is in a corner, there is no need to get involved in the disputes between the powerful people in Shengjing.

During the banquet, several people were singing and dancing, eating wine and food, and talking a few words from time to time.

Zhao Shu looked at her nose with her jade eyes, and sat with her nose and heart in mind. On the right was Zhao Xingyuan, and on the left was Zhao Muqing.

But she didn’t even dare to turn her head, for fear of exposing the abnormality on her neck.

Zhao Xingyuan could obviously see Zhao Shuyu’s discomfort, but he thought she was thinking about Huo Yikun, so her face was always gloomy.

Zhao Muqing didn’t notice anything strange about his brother. At this moment, all his thoughts were focused on Zhao Shuyu beside him.

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Zhao Shuyu.

“The cherry meat today is not to Yu’er’s taste?”

Zhao Muqing served Zhao Shuyu a few dishes, which she usually liked, but today she just didn’t take a few bites, and they were all piled in the bowl.

The atmosphere at the banquet was not lively. Zhao Shuyu was suddenly called by Zhao Muqing. For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on her.

This made Zhao Quail’s spine tingle, and he immediately raised a fake smile and looked at Zhao Muqing, “How could that be? I’m just not very hungry.”

The banquet was already halfway through, and her bowl was almost full of vegetables.

Similarly, although she deliberately applied thick makeup tonight, she still couldn’t hide the fatigue and reluctance on her face.

“Oh? What did Yu’er eat at Gao’s house last night? She didn’t even like the cherry meat that Chef Li is good at.”

Suddenly, Zhao Xifan, who was sitting opposite Zhao Shuyu, smiled, as if he had no intention of speaking.

“Last night?”

Zhao Muqing frowned, “You didn’t come home last night?”

In the past few days, Zhao Muqing was invited to Xianglan Academy in Jinzhou to participate in editing and sorting out documents. It was not until Zhao Xingyuan returned home today that he rushed back from the academy.

Zhao Shuyu’s heart suddenly tightened when she was asked by Zhao Muqing bluntly. However, before she had time to explain, she heard Zhao Xifan on the opposite side say coolly: “Yes, I stayed at the racecourse yesterday and there was no one at home, so my little sister was very happy.”

This was an outrageous thing to say. As soon as Zhao Xifan finished speaking, the table fell into silence.

Zhao Xingyuan’s face turned dark, Zhao Muqing had an angry look, and even Huo Yikun looked at Zhao Shuyu with piercing eyes.

Everyone is waiting for her explanation——

“Xiao, Xiaoyao, what are you talking about? Look at what Third Brother said. Last night, I just had some more wine at cousin Qinxue’s place and stayed in her yard. My cousin said she sent someone back to spread the word.”
