Zhang Yan smiled slyly. “Right? I think so too.”
Chun Tao was happy from the bottom of her heart.
It had been a long time since her miss had been so lively and carefree.
“Miss Zhou is really amazing. She can always make Miss so happy.”
Zhang Lan smiled. “That’s because she treats me with sincerity. In return, I’ll treat her with sincerity too.”
After saying that, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise. “Ah, they’re leaving. Come, let’s follow them.”
As she spoke, she pulled Chun Tao and followed. “Miss, are you trying to matchmake Miss Zhou and Young Master Wei?”
Chun Tao hurriedly caught up to her miss.
“That’s right. Look at how compatible the two of them are. It’s just that Young Master Wei is always in a daze. If I don’t help create some opportunities for them, I don’t know when he will succeed.”
Wei Chiyu, who was said to be in a daze, was bringing Zhou Xiaoli to the Lingyun Pavilion.
However, they did not go up the normal way.
He brought Zhou Xiaoli to the roof of the Lingyun Pavilion directly.
Zhou Xiaoli, who had just steadied herself on the roof, was still afraid. However, she forgot to be afraid the moment a firework exploded with a loud bang.
“Wow, this is too beautiful!”
“Yes, it looks good.”
It wasn’t easy for Zhang Yan to catch up to them in the Lingyun Pavilion. When she saw where the two of them went, she felt terrible.
“How am I supposed to get firsthand information on this?”
Chun Tao, who was standing at the side, held back her laughter. “Miss, there are so many people in the Lingyun Pavilion. Isn’t where they are now, the perfect spot for them to cultivate their relationship?”
Zhang Yan nodded. “That’s true, but I can’t see it.”
Chun Tao suggested, “Miss, since we’re already here, do you want to take a look at the Lingyun Pavilion?”
Zhang Yan sighed. “Let’s go. We’re already here.”
With that, the two of them walked into the Lingyun Pavilion.
The fireworks lit for the Lantern Festival lasted for an hour.
Although the Lantern Festival in ancient times did not have the beautiful lanterns of modern times, there was no pollution either. The people could set off fireworks to their hearts’ content.
After watching the fireworks, Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu went to guess the lantern riddles and won several lanterns.
In the end, she chose the koi lantern which she liked the most and returned to the Zhao residence happily.
As soon as she returned, Zhang Yan ran to her room to gossip.
Every sentence she said was about the two of them.
If Zhou Xiaoli could not tell that Zhang Yan was trying to matchmake her and Wei Chiyu, she would be a fool.
Zhou Xiaoli held her forehead and said helplessly, “Sister Zhang, I’m only 11.”
Zhang Yan didn’t care at all. She nodded and said, “That’s right. Won’t you reach the coming of age in two years’ time? You’re not young anymore.” Zhou Xiaoli:
She did not want to talk about this topic anymore and immediately changed the topic.
“Oh right, Sister Zhang, how’s Brother-in-law’s condition now?”
At the mention of her husband, Zhang Yan immediately forgot to gossip about Zhou Xiaoli.
She lowered her voice and said, “Sister Li’er, you’re really amazing. Your brother-in-law took your prescription and it worked in a few days!”
“However, I suppressed the news and told the public that your prescription is useless. It can only keep him alive.”
Zhou Xiaoli immediately nodded in agreement. “Sister did the right thing!”
It’s a complicated situation in the Zhao Residence now. It was best not to spread the news before her husband was completely cured, lest it cause trouble.
The reason why she came was to suggest to Zhang Yan to hide his condition from everyone else.
Zhang Yan pulled Zhou Xiaoli back and said in a guilty manner, “However, Sister Lit er, I’ll have to trouble you. If you stay in my house, you might be criticized. ”
Zhou Xiaoli waved her hand dismissively. “Do you think I care about that?”
Zhang Yan’s face was filled with gratitude. “I know you don’t care about it. I just feel apologetic to you.”
Zhou Xiaoli pretended to be angry. “Are we still friends? If you keep saying that, I’m going to get angry.”
Zhang Yan immediately beamed with joy and grabbed Zhou Xiaoli’s hand. “Alright, alright, I won’t say anything else. I, Zhang Yan, swear that you’re my best friend in this life!”
As soon as the two sisters met, it was as if they had endless things to talk about. They chatted until late at night before reluctantly parting to sleep. The next day.
Zhou Xiaoli had just gotten out of bed, and as expected, she was mocked.
She had arrived last night and had gone to the street to look at the lanterns immediately. Therefore, Second Madam Zhao only found out that Zhou Xiaoli had arrived this morning.
Hence, she brought her maid over early in the morning.
“Yo! Yesterday, Sister-in-law said that she was going to fetch a relative. I was wondering who it was. So it’s you!”
“You haven’t cured Big Brother of his illness, yet you still have the cheek to come. Why? Are you running out of food at home again and hence, come to my house to ask for money?”
Zhou Xiaoli, who was stretching her body, rolled her eyes at her.
This person must be very free for her to come to her early in the morning.
If it weren’t for the Second Madam Zhao bossing her around, Zhou Xiaoli would have suspected that the former actually loved her deeply.
Since Zhou Xiaoli had ignored her, the Second Madam Zhao could not vent her anger and spoke even more harshly.
“What an uneducated country bumpkin! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
Zhou Xiaoli was immediately surprised. “Ah, Second Madam Zhao, it’s you who’s talking. I was wondering what was making such a big noise early in the morning?”
Second Madam Zhao was furious.
“How dare you say that I’m a thing? How uneducated!”
Zhou Xiaoli had an innocent look on her face. “What? Does the Second Madam
Zhao think I’m wrong? Are you not a thing?”
Second Madam Zhao was so angry that her face turned pale. She stuttered but did not manage to form a full sentence for a long time. Since she was unable to scold her, she wanted to be physical instead.
At this moment, Zhang Yan, who was holding back her laughter, walked out.
“Hey, Sister-in-law, what are you doing? This is my esteemed guest!” Second Madam Zhao looked disdainful.
“Tsk, she hasn’t even cured Big Brother of his illness yet. How can she be an esteemed guest?”
However, she still put down her hand and did not dare to hit Zhou Xiaoli.
“Sister Li is my godsister and she is also Brother An’s savior. If she’s not considered as an esteemed guest, who is? It couldn’t be your aunt who comes to the residence every day to freeload?”
Second Madam Zhao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She immediately exploded.
“Zhang Yan, that’s my aunt. How is she not an esteemed guest?”
“On the other hand, you said that she was your son’s savior. Who knows if you said that on purpose to help your poor relatives?”
Zhang Yan couldn’t be bothered with her and sneered. “Yes, yes, yes. You can say whatever you want. That’s right. I advise you to go back and take a look. I just paid my respects to the old lady, but I heard from the Old Madam that she wants to invite your aunt out.”
Second Madam Zhao said, “What? You must have sprouted nonsense in front of the Old Madam!”
Zhang Yan glanced at her. “I’m not someone who likes to stir up trouble. I heard that your good aunt sold Old Madam’s favorite cat. Old Madam is absolutely angry now. You’d better be careful.”
After saying that, she pulled Zhou Xiaoli and said with a smile, “It’s really uncomfortable to hear a dog barking so early in the morning. Let’s go and have breakfast. We’ll listen to the opera later. Old Madam has invited a troupe to the residence.”
With that, she left with Zhou Xiaoli.
Second Madam Zhao stomped her feet in anger and ran to the Old Madam’s courtyard in a panic..
