Chapter 142: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!
When Zhi Nian hurried to the back garden, Yue Qiaoer was already intoxicated and dizzy. She was sitting on the ground with a flushed face, leaning against the stone pillar in the pavilion.
Seeing this, Zhi Nian couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling worried, and hurriedly stepped forward.
She reached out and gently patted Yue Qiaoer's pink and tender cheek, calling softly: "Qiaoer, wake up...Qiaoer..."
However, Yue Qiaoer closed her eyes tightly, and seemed to have no reaction to Zhi Nian's call. She waved Zhi Nian's hand away impatiently and muttered to herself.
"Don't touch me...why don't you like me..."
When Zhi Nian heard these ambiguous words, he thought to himself that maybe Yue Qiaoer had someone she liked outside, but the other person was not in love with her.
So, Zhi Nian stretched out his arm, carefully helped Yue Qiaoer up, and let her put one arm on his shoulder.
Then, she supported Yue Qiao'er and comforted her softly, "Qiao'er, don't be sad. Who is so short-sighted that doesn't like our Qiao'er?
When I find out, I will definitely teach him a lesson! How could anyone not like Qiao'er, who is so kind and lovely?
"Don't like me... Sister Xixiren... like Nian Nian..."
Yue Qiaoer fell to the ground drunkenly like a puddle of mud, unconscious.
Suddenly, an extremely familiar name came into Zhi Nian's ears, making her freeze in place.
Zhi Nian stood there blankly, and the noisy sounds in his ears gradually disappeared.
"Sister Xiren..."
Zhi Nian murmured to herself, her eyes full of shock and confusion. She had never found any trace of this name in the original owner's memory.
But at this moment it appeared so clearly in Yue Qiaoer's drunken nonsense.
Zhi Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly sighing in his heart, Yue Qiaoer and Sister Xiren are really good at hiding their true intentions!
The original owner was totally unaware of it, and even he himself failed to discover the secret in time.
Thinking of Sister Xiren's care and concern for her, Zhinian couldn't help but feel at a loss. She had never thought that Sister Xiren would have such a special feeling for her.
In the original owner's memory, Sister Xiren has always been like a real sister, giving her endless warmth and support.
However, the fact that Yue Qiaoer liked Jiang Xiren was completely beyond Zhi Nian's expectations.
Yue Qiaoer is always so carefree and unconcerned about details on weekdays, as if she doesn't care about the love affairs of the world at all.
Who could have expected that this seemingly free and unrestrained woman had already silently set her heart on Jiang Xiren.
Yue Qiaoer must have had a hard time over the years!
Even though I know that the person I like is already with someone else, I still have to put on a smile every day and pretend nothing happened.
Every time she saw Sister Xiren getting close to others, it was probably like a sharp knife cutting through her heart.
How many people can endure this kind of pain?
Zhi Nian looked at Yue Qiaoer lying unconscious on the ground with heartache, feeling mixed emotions.
Zhi Nian hurriedly quickened her pace and rushed to the back of the palace banquet. She lowered her voice and carefully waved to Shui Yuci.
Seeing this, Shui Yuci hurried over and took the unconscious Yue Qiaoer from Zhi Nian.
After completing the handover, Zhi Nian took a deep breath, walked towards the queen, and respectfully reported to her: "Your Majesty, Yue Qiaoer is already drunk. Please allow me to escort her home to rest first."
The queen looked in the direction Zhi Nian pointed and saw Yue Qiao'er, whose face was red and unconscious.
He nodded slightly in agreement and instructed, "Be sure to take good care of her."
After getting permission, Zhi Nian secretly glanced at Jiang Xiren out of the corner of his eye, noticed the complex changes in her expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Then, she resolutely turned around and left, and worked together with Shui Yuci to send Yue Qiaoer back home safely.
After Jiang Xiren witnessed all this happening, she soon found an excuse to leave early.
At this moment, Zhi Nian and Shui Yuci were both covered in the smell of Yue Qiaoer's alcohol, and they were already fascinated by it.
As soon as he arrived at the Jiang family, Zhi Nian couldn't wait to light a fire and boil water to prepare for a bath.
-
When Jiang Xiren returned, she found that Zhi Nian and the other two had already finished washing up.
She stared at the closed window with the lights off, feeling more and more miserable. Finally, she turned around and went back to her courtyard, not letting anyone know how she felt at the moment.
However, Shui Yuci keenly caught the sound of the light footsteps gradually moving away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Just now, she actually made some noise intentionally in order to prevent certain people from coveting her treasure.
Zhi Nian gently pushed Shui Yuci away, then lay quietly in the embrace filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, breathing slightly.
One of her little hands playfully kneaded Shui Yuci's chest, and she muttered in a low voice, "Sister, we can't do this here. Let's rest early."
Shui Yuci's face was full of grievance, and she said softly: "That's not what you said at the palace banquet. You clearly promised to satisfy me at that time..."
