Chapter 455 A Beautiful Misunderstanding
Before they even reached the entrance to the Xiao family residence, the joyful voice of Xiao Yushuang echoed in the distance, "Sister, sister—"
Eldest Miss lifted the curtain of the palanquin, only to see Xiao Yushuang, with her little hand holding up her long skirt and a face glowing with joy, sprinting towards her. Xiao Yuruo stepped out of the palanquin just in time to catch Yushuang, who threw herself into her arms, tears of joy in her eyes, "Sister, you're finally back. Mother and I have been so worried."
Gazing at her sister's beautiful face and the deep concern in her eyes, Eldest Miss felt her own eyes moisten. She softly spoke, "Silly girl, I was just in the palace discussing some matters with the female officers of the Weaving Bureau. What's there to worry about? How is Mother's health?"
Xiao Yushuang responded with a slight hum, "A few days ago, when you and Lin San both disappeared, Mother fell seriously ill. Her condition only improved a little yesterday when Lin San returned. She's busy in the back right now, and I haven't yet told her you're back. Just wait until she sees you; she'll be so overjoyed."
As Yushuang spoke softly with a lovable face, Xiao Yuruo affectionately pinched her little nose, feeling extremely happy.
"Ah, who are you?" The curtain was lifted again, and a stunningly beautiful woman emerged, her cheeks flushed and her eyes tender, breathtakingly beautiful.
Remembering the intimate moments they had shared inside the palanquin, Eldest Miss felt her cheeks flush, unsure how to introduce this young lady.
Qin Xian'er was no stranger to Xiao Yushuang. The day when the White Lotus sect attacked the Xiao family, it was Yushuang who had thrown herself in front of Lin Wanrong, something Qin Xian'er remembered vividly. Thinking about the past, her heart felt a little sour, but she bore no ill will toward this faithful girl. She took a step forward and took Yushuang’s hand, giggling, "Little sister, although you don't know me, I’ve admired you for a long time. Back in Jinling, I heard of your name, so beautiful and gentle, so kind and compassionate; you’ve captivated my husband."
