Half of her face was swollen from the slap. No matter what, she shouldnt have left the residence to visit soone. However, for her daughter who was about to get married, she endured her sha and brought her entire secret stash of money to leave in the middle of the night and secretly co to find Zhou Xiaoxiao. It was so she could give her daughter so dowry.
What a useless and pitiful woman. Zhou Xiaoxiao softly sighed in her heart.
Her husband must be the culprit behind the slap on her face. That Gongsun Zhen didnt dare to do anything in the residence, but he took out his anger on his weak wife.
Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly understood why Gongsun Yu had high expectations for her spouse.
If I ca from a family like this, I probably wouldnt like a scholar that appeared to be proper and polite only on the surface either.
The second morning, Zhou Xiaoxiao personally applied makeup for Gongsun Yu.
I hate to marry a beautiful woman like you off. Zhou Xiaoxiao pinched Gongsun Yus face. While applying makeup, she shook her head and sighed.
Gongsun Yu lifted her face and sat in front of her. Hearing this, her thick eyelashes slightly trembled and her tears fell down her face.
Dont cry, dont cry. Youre going to ruin your makeup. Zhou Xiaoxiao frantically wiped her tears. Dont be scared. Youll live a good life after you get married. If senior brother dares to bully you, just tell . Hes not my match anymore. I can casually beat him down.
Gongsun Yu snorted and held Zhou Xiaoxiaos arms.
I wont let anyone bully . Ill definitely live a good life.
She wore a smile on her tear-filled face; she looked beautiful as if she was reborn.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was very glad that she had intervened back then and protected Gongsun Yu under her wings, helping her survive the mad and difficult ti period.
Clamors filled the streets and chests of dowry were lined up on the next few streets.
The noisy and bustling procession headed out of the capital.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sent Gongsun Yu a few kiloters out of the city before saying goodbye and heading back to the capital.
During the journey, they passed by the riverside.
Thinking of the extrely terrifying experience of how she fell into the river, Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed with feelings and couldnt help but stop.
The Yellow River was like a huge dragon resting on the earth.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stood by the shore and glanced at the river water. Suddenly, she thought of sothing and took off the dragon scale on her neck.
A strange light flickered on the surface of the dragon scale and there was imdiately a cyan-colored crack on the surface of the water. The crack was like a vertical eye and it gradually widened just enough for a person to pass through.
Through the cyan-colored light, Zhou Xiaoxiao vaguely saw her familys living room. It seed to be late at night there. The light in front of the living rooms door was lit and emitted a warm glow.
Her mother was used to leaving the light on for her whenever she wasnt ho.
Mother is waiting for to co ho.
Zhou Xiaoxiaos heart felt bitter.
She couldnt help but reach towards the world.
Xiaoxiao!
She felt soone calling her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked back. Yu Xingzhi was not far from her, hurriedly getting off his horse and rushing over.
He did so hastily which led him to almost trip and fall.
Xiaoxiao. Yu Xingzhi was running rapidly. Dont go. Xiaoxiao, dont go!
Dont go, dont leave. He wore a pale face and reached for her with trembling hands. In a careful tone, he said, Please, please dont go.
Zhou Xiaoxiaos heart felt bitter for a mont before it ached. While holding onto Yu Xingzhis cold fingertips, she looked over at the warm light.
She sunk into a difficult situation.
She couldnt help but tighten her grip on the dragon scale; the edge of it had slashed her palm. The red blood dyed the dragon scales light and it dripped into the river.
A cold light rose from the surface of the river and imdiately drowned the two people holding their hands tightly.
Speaking of, they were back in the modern world.
