The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife

396 A Coincidental Encounter (Part 2)

Yue Jiaojiao thought for a moment and nodded.

Madam Zhang was old. If anything happened to her because of her carelessness, she would suffer a lot of repercussions.

“I’ll let Zhao Zhan know about this when he returns. We should let him know.”

“I’ll be going out for a walk with Xiangjun now. Why don’t you come with us, Madam Qin?” Yue Jiaojiao held onto Madam Qin’s arm with a smile. “I’ll be more at ease with you around.”

!!

“Did you have too much sleep?” Madam Qin looked at her lovingly. “Why do you need to bring Luoning with you when you and Xiangjun are going out? Why don’t you leave her at home? I’m good at taking care of kids anyways. How can you ladies have fun with a baby around?”

“I didn’t even think of that. Thank you for offering, we’ll do as you say.”

Luoning was born with a congenital deficiency, and the streets were always bustling with people. Yue Jiaojiao didn’t want to bring her out to get infected with any illness.

When Yue Jiaojiao conveyed their intentions to Li Xiangjun, the other party naturally agreed.

“I did think of that, but I thought that since Madam Qin is already taking care of Zhao Nian, it’d be too much for her to take care of Luoning as well.”

“Luoning’s health is more important,” Yue Jiaojiao said in a serious tone. “Next time, you can’t hold back your words just because you feel bad. Fortunately, Madam Qin was the one that offered this time. If she didn’t, we might have more complications.”

Li Xiangjun begged for mercy. “I won’t do it again, I’ll tell you everything next time.”

Madam Qin coaxed Luoning. After some thought, she carried her to Doctor Sun’s courtyard and placed her on a mat with Zhao Nian to keep them company. She took a basket full of needle and thread and did some work at the side, watching the movements of the two little fellows from the corner of her eye.

Doctor Sun lowered his head and fiddled with the medicinal herbs. “My small courtyard is occupied by these two children all day long. When will I ever have the time to focus.”

Madam Qin bickered with him. “Stop lying. I can see the smile on your face when you see them.”

The two of them chatted happily, and Zhao Nian, who was sitting on the cushion, clapped her hands happily.

Yue Jiaojiao and Li Xiangjun were unaware of what had happened in the courtyard. After they left the house, they found a palanquin at the entrance of the alley and got someone to send the two of them to the most bustling street in Shangjing.

The palanquin stopped, so Yue Jiaojiao and Li Xiangjun lifted the curtain and walked down.

“Jiaojiao, look.” Li Xiangjun pointed at the shop next to her. “It looks lively in that shop. Should we go in and have a look?”

Luoning was already almost five months old. Although Fang Tianliu was considerate of her in every way, the family of three also slept together at night.

However, what Li Xiangjun found hard to say was that Fang Tianliu had never touched her ever since that very day.

When there was no one around, Li Xiangjun would often look at herself in the mirror, and then a strong sense of disgust for herself would rise in her heart.

Yue Jiaojiao stood at the door and could already smell the strong fragrance coming from the shop.

“Let’s go!”

She didn’t know what Li Xiangjun was thinking, she just thought that Xiangjun wanted to pamper herself, so she pulled her up the steps.

When they entered the shop, no one came to welcome them.

The waiter in the shop took the time to glance at the clothes on the two of them before looking away.

This cloth might be considered good quality in other places, but in Shangjing, it wasn’t considered expensive at all.

Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t be bothered to listen to the staff’s introduction. She pulled Li Xiangjun around the counter to take a closer look.

The rouge placed on the counter in the hall on the first floor was rough and had a very obvious grainy feeling. Yue Jiaojiao kept feeling that there was too much lead powder in it so she really didn’t think much of it. The bottom of her feet circled around the corner without her knowing.

Around the corner, there was a stack of glass boxes on the thick mahogany counter.

“Jiaojiao, this thing is really strange.” Li Xiangjun could not move her feet away from it. “There’s obviously something blocking it, but you can still see what’s inside. How odd.”

“That’s called glass.”

There was an opened rouge in the square glass box, and its color was much better than the one next to it.

Just as Yue Jiaojiao was about to reach out, a hand reached out from the side and snatched the item from her hand.
