Zhu Zhu was calm and composed and had her own opinions. Zhou Shaojin had never thought of this and thought she was just a spoiled daughter, especially since Cheng Ji had previously rejected the marriage proposal of Zhu Pengju, the son of the Duke of Liang. She couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhu with admiration and whispered, "I know. Thank you for this!"
"Why thank you!" Zhu Zhu said without hesitation, "We are good sisters, and I don't want her reputation to be damaged. I will also try to pass a message to the secret sentry at the Duke's Mansion to see if there is any news."
Zhou Shaojin nodded repeatedly.
Although she felt that Cheng Chi would definitely think of what Zhu Zhu could think of, she was still very worried about Cheng Ji. She held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to use her clairvoyance to find Cheng Ji and keep things under control to the smallest extent possible.
Because the finals are about to begin.
Once the finals are over, they will go home.
At this time, someone discovered that Cheng Ji was missing. No matter what the reason was, Cheng Ji's reputation was ruined for the rest of his life.
The two pretended nothing had happened and walked to the window hand in hand with smiles on their faces.
The four dragon boats were rowing fiercely, with constant cheers from the shore and everyone in the private room staring intently.
Zhu Zhu patted the Sixth Miss Guo who was watching with a clairvoyance and said, "Oh, how long will it take you? I really want to see who will make it to the finals!"
They consciously took turns using it for half a quarter of an hour. When Miss Guo finished using it, it was time for Miss Guo to use it. Miss Guo's face darkened when she heard this. Miss Guo's face said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay, let Miss Zhu use it first. I can see it clearly from here."
Gu Shiqigu was a delicate person. She smiled and said, "Azhu, if you cut in line like this, it will be a mess when you use your clairvoyance in the future. If you can't win the fight later, don't lose your temper."
The implication is that if you break the rules, no one will protect her anymore.
Zhu Zhu smiled and took Gu Shiqi's arm, saying coquettishly: "Good sister, please let me go this time, okay? I promise I won't use this clairvoyance again. If it weren't for the Sun family's fleet in this group, I wouldn't want to watch it!"
Everyone was guessing that the Sun family participated in the dragon boat race in order to compete with the Liu family.
The eldest daughter of the Liu family is about to marry into the Duke of Liang's mansion as a young lady.
The Sixth and Seventh Miss Guo exchanged glances when they heard this.
Miss Gu's Seventeenth Family had already come forward to seek justice for them, but Miss Zhu was still not giving in. Everyone knew that the fault lay with Miss Zhu. Moreover, if they continued to insist, it would only embarrass Miss Gu's Seventeenth Family, who had helped them seek justice.
The sixth daughter of the Guo family silently handed the clairvoyance to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu took the clairvoyance happily and started looking around after holding it up.
Gu Shiqigu hurried forward and apologized to Miss Guo's Sixth Miss, "She is just like that. Please bear with her, my two sisters. Just let her go this time. If she does this again, I will go and tell Madam Guo."
The two young ladies of the Guo family had not expected that Gu Shiqigu would be so righteous, so their little dissatisfaction disappeared, and they said in unison: "Sister Gu, you don't have to take it to heart for such a small matter. If you bring it to the elders, they will say that we sisters are always at loggerheads with each other, and none of us is worry-free."
After hearing this, Gu Shiqi smiled and said, "You two sisters are right to be cautious. I was not thoughtful enough. Anyway, I will never let you two sisters suffer any loss. Please bear with it for a while."
The two young ladies of the Guo family were very well-mannered. They thanked her with a smile and were accompanied by Aunt Gu Shiqi to another window to watch the dragon boat race with Aunt Gu's Eighteenth and Twentieth. Zhu Zhu was the only one left at this window.
Zhu Zhu waved towards Zhou Shaojin and said, "Come and see, come and see!"
Zhou Shaojin was shocked, thinking that Zhu Zhu had discovered something, and walked over in two steps.
Zhu Zhu stuffed the clairvoyance into her hand and whispered hurriedly, "I looked for a long time but couldn't find it. Look carefully again, I'm afraid you missed something."
It has been almost quarter of an hour since Cheng Ji went to the official residence. If Cheng Ji was paying attention and didn't notice her at this time, she must have gone far away.
Zhou Shaojin felt heavy in his heart. He took the telescope and slowly looked at the crowded street.
Over there, Gu Shiqigu glanced at Zhou Shaojin and Zhu Zhu, and then began to entertain the two young ladies of the Guo family even more enthusiastically.
Zhou Shaojin didn't care about all this and looked carefully at the woman in red clothes on the street.
Outside the Qingsong Building is a road that can accommodate three cars in parallel, with willow trees planted every ten feet on both sides. Although those willow trees are lush and green, they are not like locust trees or camphor trees. Their crowns are like umbrellas, and you can't see anything from above.
She found several young women in red clothes at the stalls under the trees and on the busy streets, but none of them was Cheng Ji.
Zhou Shaojin became anxious.
She can't just keep the Clairvoyance and not return it to the Sixth Miss Guo, right
Zhou Shaojin began to quickly look for the woman in red among the pedestrians.
Suddenly, she inadvertently glanced at the corner door next to Qingyan Tower.
Under the big locust tree, it seemed as if a corner of a red dress was blown up by the wind, and then quickly disappeared.
Zhou Shaojin's heart was beating like a drum.
Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place.
And deep down she still didn't believe that Li Jing would elope with Cheng Ji.
You should know that the one who is betrothed to a wife is aiming to become a concubine.
Since he had to carefully consider the method he would use to meet Cheng Ji in private, how could he just recklessly do something to hurt Cheng Ji
Zhou Shaojin carefully watched the scene beside the big tree.
That corner gate was facing away from Mochou Lake, or maybe everyone had gone to watch the fun, so the door was ajar and it was quiet with no one going in or out. But not far away under the willow tree, there was a person who looked like a maid looking around, as if she was watching for the wind.
The maid was probably on guard against people going to Mochou Lake, as she had her back to the private room where Zhou Shaojin was, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
But Zhou Shaojin couldn't remember what Cuihuan was wearing. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed as if Cuihuan had never appeared in front of her.
This Cheng Ji clearly had this planned in advance!
Zhou Shaojin was so angry that he almost stamped his feet.
She winked at Zhu Zhu, handed her the Clairvoyance, and said with a smile, "I saw it, it seems that the Sun family's dragon boat is ahead."
Zhu Zhu's expression relaxed a little, and she casually handed the Clairvoyance to the Sixth Miss of the Guo family, saying, "Sixth Miss, I'm really sorry. I stole your things. You guys can take turns to look at it later. I won't join in."
After she said that, Miss Guo felt a little embarrassed and said, "Since you are so concerned about the match, just finish watching it and then give it back to me!"
Zhu Zhu really wanted to know whether the Sun family won or lost - if the Sun family and the Liu family met in the finals, no matter what the final result was, it would be a joke.
But she was worried about Cheng Ji.
He just glanced at Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin took the opportunity to say, "I'm going to go to the lower official room, you guys play first."
She signaled to Zhu Zhu not to worry about her as she was going out to look for someone.
After all, this is the Cheng family's family affair, and it would not be good for her to get too involved.
She smiled and thanked the Sixth Miss Guo and continued watching the dragon boat race.
Zhou Shaojin said hello to everyone else and took Bitao out of the private room.
But because of her experiences in her past life, she became cautious and even a little nervous.
She asked Bitao to knock on Cheng Chi's door, while she stood aside.
Unexpectedly, the person who answered the door was Cheng Chi.
He strode out, closed the door casually, and said with a somewhat surprised look: "Why are you here? I have asked someone to find Cheng Ji. This matter has nothing to do with you. If the third room asks, I will answer it. If she is not found before the dragon boat race is over, you can say that Cheng Ji is not feeling well and went back first, and then quietly tell my mother. Go back to the room quickly, be careful not to be seen by others!"
Cheng Ji was invited by Zhou Shaojin. If anything happens, neither Zhou Shaojin nor the eldest son can escape responsibility!
Cheng Chi had never spoken to Zhou Shaojin so seriously before.
Zhou Shaojin felt very aggrieved, but he still lowered his head and said "yes" obediently, and whispered: "I, I think I found Cheng Ji, I want to go and see him. Can you let Ji Ying go with me?"
Cheng Chi was stunned.
I feel very regretful.
He didn't mind that Cheng Ji was missing, but Shao Jin must be in a bad mood.
Moreover, she had no experience, so it was rare for her to be so calm to let someone tell her and then ask him to send someone to help her find someone. Her tone just now was too harsh. Although it was not directed at this matter or her, it was she who saw his expression and listened to his words. How could she not be hurt
Cheng Chi slowed down his voice and said softly, "I was angry about something else, not because you came to me. But since you found Cheng Ji, I'll send someone to find him. Don't show up, so as not to implicate you. Be good and listen, and go back quickly. I'll take care of this matter!"
The word "good" was said in a very moving way.
Zhou Shaojin often heard Cheng Chi coaxing him like this, and he felt like it was the warm sunshine, ironing his body and making it fit perfectly. He liked it very much.
When Bitao heard it for the first time, her face turned red as if blood could drip out, and she didn't dare to glance at Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi.
Zhou Shaojin pouted and said, "It's better for me to go! If Cheng Ji makes a scene, it will be bad..."
Seeing her become cheerful again, Cheng Chi felt relieved and said, "I sent Ji Ying to look for Cheng Ji, she is not here at this time..."
Zhou Shaojin was very disappointed.
Maybe she wanted to find Cheng Ji not only because she was worried about Cheng Ji, but also because she wanted to make amends for her mistakes
Cheng Chi looked at the guess and immediately changed his mind, saying, "I'll let Shang Ma go with you! She worked as a laborer at the dock when she was young. Although she is old now, she still has brute strength, much better than those rough servants. Catching Cheng Ji is like catching a chicken."
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.
His face lit up.
Cheng Chi couldn't help but sigh, called Nanny Shang over, and told Zhou Shaojin worriedly: "Be smart, otherwise I will have to look for you if Cheng Ji is not found."
"I will definitely listen to Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin promised, his face smiling like a blooming flower.
Cheng Chi entered the private room reluctantly.
Zhou Shaojin took Nanny Shang to the backyard.
On the way, he told Nanny Shang about his discovery.
