C11 You Got Milk Tea on the Corner of Your Mouth

"Do you know what happened to your Young Miss tonight?" Gu Yanqing ignored his disguised 'important person' and walked in front of the golden-painted chair and slowly sat down.

Zhao Zhong lowered his head and said respectfully, "I don't know."

"This king is very curious, when I saw your young lady, she seemed to be being chased down, running awkwardly in the rain. Duke Zhen Xi Palace has always been loyal, so how could they possibly anger their enemies? "

Gu Yan Qing raised her teacup and took a sip. His words were calm, but his eyes were filled with anger. Ever since Zhao Zhong entered, his eyes never rested on Bai Ruotong's body, nor did he say anything about his concern.

As the direct daughter of Zhenxi General's House, Bai Ruotong's actions were a bit indifferent, which made Gu Yanqing suspicious.

"This …"

Zhao Zhong was in a dilemma and did not know how to reply. Gu Yan Qing's question was obviously helping Bai Ruotong fight against injustice. The relationship between the two of them must not be simple. He considered whether he should tell the madame about Gu Yanqing's attitude towards Bai Ruotong.

"Seems like you don't know either?" Gu Yanqing narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Zhao Zhong.

"If Miss is being pursued, the Western General's Estate will definitely investigate the matter. Please rest assured Your Highness." Zhao Zhong said.

"Your Highness."

Bai Ruotong got off the bed and took a small step towards Gu Yan Qing. She glanced at Zhao Zhong indifferently and said softly, "What happened today had nothing to do with the General's Estate. "Since Chief Steward Zhao has come to fetch Ruotong, it is time for him to leave."

In the book, it was written that Zhao Zhong was just like a weeping willow, blowing the wind wherever it blew. He was the most popular person in front of the old lady, and was also the main target for Bai Yiling to curry favor with when she returned to her home.

Although he had a dog-leg personality, he was not a bad person. Although Bai Ruotong didn't have any feelings for him, since the dynasty had already arrived, he still had to behave himself.

Zhao Zhong saw Bai Ruotong helping him out, and felt grateful from the bottom of his heart. If Gu Yanqing kept pressing him, he would have to wait several years for Bai Ruotong to return to the clan.

"Who did you offend?" Gu Yanqing did not say anything, but asked a question instead.

"This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness, it's all the fault of Rutong," Bai Ruotong replied. "Your Highness's kindness today will never be forgotten. If it were another day, Rutong would personally pay them a visit to express his gratitude."

She was a noble daughter of the family of generals. It was forbidden for her to return home in the middle of the night. Bai Ruotong knew what kind of punishment awaited her.

It was written that Bai Ruotong had been defiled by Wan An and had been interrogated by a large family when she returned to her home. The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted. She too had nearly lost her identity as the direct descendant and was expelled from the manor.

Although her reputation was protected, she had, after all, come to the residence of a 'man'. She feared that she would lose her identity. As for those people with 'hearts', she did not know how they would plot against her.

Gu Yan Qing pursed her lips. Seeing that Bai Ruotong was unwilling to answer, she did not ask any further questions. In any case, he had already sent people to investigate the matter, but he only found out the truth later on.

He stood up and walked toward Bai Ruotong. Bai Ruotong was startled and subconsciously backed up.

"Don't move."

Gu Yan Qing grabbed her arm, forcing her to get closer to him.

"There's milk tea on the corner of your mouth." Gu Yan Qing lowered her head to wipe the milk stains from the corner of her mouth. Such a romantic action made everyone on the scene suck in a breath of cold air. Zhao Zhong almost choked on his saliva. He carefully caressed his little heart and hesitated on whether he should go up and stop him.

"Your Highness, I can do it myself."

Bai Ruotong turned her head away in fear and covered her mouth, afraid that Gu Yanqing would come closer.
