Xi Lanting put out the cigarette, and gently touched Yun Qiao's hair with her slender fingers that seemed to bring some warmth: "It's still damp. Go back and wash your hair and go to bed."
Yun Qiao said hello.
When walking through the bamboo forest, the lush bamboos blocked out the light, giving it a really eerie feeling.
Yun Qiao's scalp was numb.
She trotted all the way back to the fourth room.
Xi Wenlan's banquet was still very lively afterward, everyone tried their best to cheer up, and it was quite successful.
Zhu Yucheng returned home at that time.
He did not go to the third concubine, but Zhu Longtou, and told him about the third concubine's niece bullying Yun Qiao.
Zhu Longtou was very annoyed. Something happened to upset him during the day, and he was in a bad mood all day. Now he got angry and called his third aunt over to give him a scolding.
The third aunt was so aggrieved that she didn't dare to say a word, couldn't cry aloud, she just shed tears silently.
"You can mess with anyone, but you don't even look at me. Why are you going out to study? You might as well get married early and go to the mainland. Out of sight is out of mind!" Zhu Longtou said.
The third aunt understood these words so well that she knew that Zhu Longtou did not blame her, but only her niece.
She returned home overnight.
The Zhou family is new and has no financial resources or backing, so it relies entirely on the Qing Gang and the Zhu family for food.
Although she didn't know where Yun Qiao came from, the third aunt rushed back overnight and knew that the problem was serious.
Zhou Yan's father had her kidnapped, put her on a train back to the inner city overnight, and sent her to a distant relative's house. As for marriage or something else, we would wait until the limelight has passed.
Sheng Zhao went home that day and felt exhausted.
She didn't eat much during the banquet, and now she was a little hungry, so she asked the maid to bring her bird's nest as a midnight snack.
The bird's nest was not ready yet, so she sat in the restaurant with her head on her hands and waited.
Her third brother came downstairs and saw her from a distance. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and she hadn't taken off her makeup yet, so he asked her, "You're up so late? Have you just come back?"
Sheng Zhao was distracted for a long time. When he heard someone talking, he stared at it.
Her bright black eyes are as radiant as ice, and her light makeup makes her even more charming. With lights covering her body, she is shockingly beautiful. Even his own brother must admit that his sister is beautiful and fragrant.
Unfortunately, she is petite, so her beauty lacks a bit of boldness, and in a man's terms, she doesn't have the charm.
When it comes to bewitching, the woman who was next to Mr. Xi Qi last time - Sanshao Sheng - thought about it, she was really a seductive woman. Maybe Mr. Xi Qi liked this kind of woman, so my sister lost unknowingly.
"...I've been exhausted after watching the excitement and jokes all night." Sheng Zhao complained in a low voice.
Third Young Master Sheng laughed: "Why don't you go to bed if you are tired?"
Sheng Zhao: "I'm hungry, let's eat something first. Xi Wenlan is really not up to the mark. It's so tiring to deal with her. Among the girls in the Xi family's old house, she is the only girl who is about the same age as me, otherwise I really don't want to talk to her."
Third Master Sheng: "Is she okay? She can go to college and is loved by her grandmother. She should be smart and clever."
Sheng Zhao curled his lips.
With the Xi family's connections, all the children can go to university. Xi Wenlan didn't take the university exam herself, she spent money to go there. As for the old grandmother, she might sympathize with her for not having a biological mother.
"What I don't like the most is that she acts smart, as if everyone else is a fool." Sheng Zhao said, "Those tricks are ridiculously cheap."
Third Young Master Sheng felt sorry for his sister and said, "In that case, don't associate with her."
"No, I have to find a chance to go to the old house. Brother Lan Ting..." She said, sighing softly, and her eyebrows were charming.
Third Young Master Sheng felt indignant.
With his sister's appearance, talent and character, coupled with the current status of the Sheng family, she had the entire Yancheng family to choose from, so why should she suffer in the Xi family?
