Chapter 119: Conspiracy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this day, Zhou Xiaoli was pondering over the matters in the illusion.
Before she could figure out anything,
Liu Yuanyuan suddenly came to look for her the next morning!
At first glance, Zhou Xiaoli noticed that there was a ball of blackness between Liu Yuanyuan’s eyebrows. It seemed that what happened in her illusion would be happening soon.
It could be said that Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Yuanyuan had never interacted much. Liu Yuanyuan never took the initiative to look for her, nor would she look for Liu Yuanyuan.
Even Liu Yuanyuan felt a little awkward when she suddenly came to look for her.
After a while, her face turned red, but she did not say anything.
In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoli who broke the awkward silence. “Why are you looking for me?”
Liu Yuanyuan opened her mouth and said stiffly, “I’m going to the county city to buy rouge today. Do you want to go?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly added, “Don’t misunderstand. I just feel that Brother Dakun is right. My parents are cooperating with your family. It’s not good for our relationship to be stiff. I just want to ease our relationship a little.”
“Moreover, Brother Dakun said that you had a misunderstanding about him the other time and he asked me to invite you out. He wants to apologize to you.” Towards the end, Liu Yuanyuan’s voice was a little soft.
Hearing that this was Chen Dakun’s idea, Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but frown.
There must be something up. Chen Dakun probably didn’t have any good intentions.
On the other side, Liu Yuanyuan saw that Zhou Xiaoli was frowning and did not speak. She pouted and muttered softly, “I knew it. Forget it. I’ll go alone.”
However, in the next second, Zhou Xiaoli nodded and said, “Alright, when are we going?”
Liu Yuanyuan clearly did not expect Zhou Xiaoli to agree and was stunned. “Ah? You agree?”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded and asked again, “Yes. So, when are we going?”
Liu Yuanyuan was still a little uncertain, but she still replied, “I’ll be ready in a while.”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Alright, just call me when you are ready.”
Liu Yuanyuan hurriedly said, “I’m just going back to get money. We’ll leave immediately. Just wait for me here.”
With that, she immediately ran home. Sure enough, she ran out of the house after a while.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
Zhou Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, “Do you need me to go home and get the donkey cart? The county city is quite far away.”
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head, “No need, no need. Brother Dakun has a horse carriage waiting for us at the entrance of the village.”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them walked towards the village entrance in silence.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the village entrance, she saw a simple horse carriage parked there. Chen Dakun was standing anxiously beside the carriage.
When he saw Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Yuanyuan, his eyes lit up and a greasy smile appeared on his face.
“Aiya, Miss Zhou! It’s great that you’re here. It was a misunderstanding last time. I thought that your family had a good relationship with the Liu family, and my family and the Liu family would be one big family in the future, so I wanted to get to know you in advance. I didn’t expect you to misunderstand.
Hahaha. ”
When she heard that they would be a family in the future, Liu Yuanyuan immediately became shy. “Brother Dakun, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Chen Dakun smiled gently and deliberately showed off his love for her. “I’m not spouting nonsense. Our upcoming marriage is agreed by our parents and match-made by the matchmaker. Who dares to say anything else?”
“Brother Dakun, you’re so mean. There are others here.” Liu Yuanyuan giggled.
As they spoke, Chen Dakun actually started flirting with her.
During this time, Chen Dakun even shot a glance at Zhou Xiaoli, as if he wanted to arouse her jealousy and envy.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xiaoli immediately thought of the pair making out in the peach blossom forest yesterday. She immediately felt like vomiting.
Suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, she nodded faintly. “Yes. I thought we were going to the county city. Shall we go?”
“Let’s go, let’s go. You two ladies quickly get in the carriage. I’ll drive the carriage for you two ladies.”
Chen Dakun immediately chuckled.
As he spoke, he invited Zhou Xiaoli and Liu Yuanyuan into the carriage as though he’s a gentleman.
Liu Yuanyuan shyly got into the carriage first, followed by Zhou Xiaoli.
The moment they got into the car, a trace of malice flashed across Chen Dakun’s eyes, but Zhou Xiaoli caught it.
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes narrowed. There was indeed something fishy going on.
After the two of them sat down, the carriage began to move slowly.
On the way, Zhou Xiaoli lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look. They were indeed on the road to the county city.
Chen Da Kun was a vain person who cherished his reputation. He would not leave evidence of his misdoings.
He would probably not do it himself.
Zhou Xiaoli came along because she did not want the events in the illusion to happen and cause the Liu family to suffer a tragic end.
First of all, she was grateful for Liu Liangcai’s kindness, and second, she didn’t want their new sugar business to go down the drain because of this.
She still didn’t have much feelings for Liu Yuanyuan. If it wasn’t for the huge impact that would come should the illusion come true, she would only give a reminder to her and not follow her.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli did not take the initiative to find a topic to talk about throughout the entire process. When she had nothing to do, she would close her eyes and enter her alternate space to find several suitable weapons.
Liu Yuanyuan did not know what to say to Zhou Xiaoli, so the two of them were very silent along the way.
During this period, Chen Dakun was the one outside. He took the initiative to find a few topics to talk about.
However, Zhou Xiaoli was not enthusiastic at all. The conversation died down after a few words.
After entering the city, Chen Dakun smiled and said that he wanted to bring the two of them to buy the best rouge available.
“The Rouge Pavilion in the county city has the best rouge. I heard that they’ve just received a new batch of goods these few days. The girls in the county city love it so much that they can’t bear to part with it. Let’s go, I’ll bring you guys to buy it.”
Zhou Xiaoli’s reaction was calm. She walked quietly, but her eyes were observing her surroundings.
Liu Yuanyuan was very happy.
At this moment, Chen Dakun suddenly pulled her back and asked in a low voice, “You didn’t tell your parents that you came to the county city with me, right?”
Liu Yuanyuan nodded and said shyly, “No, I didn’t tell my parents about the two of us. I still remember what Brother Dakun told me.’
Chen Dakun had been using the excuse of protecting her reputation to prevent her from telling Liu Liangcai and Lin Xiujuan about their frequent trysts. On the other hand, Liu Yuanyuan firmly believed this and was extremely obedient.
Since Liu Yuanyuan said so, Chen Dakun smiled. “Yuanyuan, you’re so obedient. Bring Miss Zhou to Old Wang’s Alley later. I’ve prepared a big surprise for you there. It can ease your relationship with her. After this matter is over, I’ll buy you the best rouge.”
Liu Yuanyuan, who firmly believed in Chen Dakun, immediately nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Chen Da Kun’s eyes flashed. He looked at Liu Yuanyuan with pity and said, “Alright, I’ll go prepare the surprise first.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Then, Liu Yuanyuan ran forward and said to Zhou Xiaoli, “Xiaoli, I suddenly remembered that I have to go to Old Wang’s Alley to find a friend.. Can you accompany me to Old Wang’s Alley first?”
