Come to think of it, I owe this Eastern Palace something. I had indirectly let his future wife go, and now refused to paint for his dancing girl. Moreover, according to Boss Chen, he didn’t show any anger or ill will towards Sai Yue Pavilion, which made my debt feel even heavier.
After finishing, Miss Song San burped, embarrassedly covering her mouth. Just as I was about to solidify my success, someone sat down beside me.
“A Yao.” An Jin gazed at me, a smile at the corner of her lips, her eyebrows full of affection.
An Jin’s actions completely destroyed Miss Song San’s last bit of fantasy. Not long after, I introduced her to my younger sister, and they became close friends, an unexpected outcome.
Chapter Ten: The Romantic Eastern Palace
Miss Song San became close friends with my younger sister.
The two young girls often went out shopping and attending poetry meetings, secretly discussing which of the unmarried gentlemen in Yanfeng City would be the most suitable husband.
“An old problem has occurred again,” Little Sister shook her head with an exasperated expression. “On the road, we encountered a horse-drawn carriage stuck in the mud, and he insisted on helping. If you’re going to help, just get the carriage out, right? But who would have thought that a girl would come out and say her family had a seriously ill relative with no money for treatment? Without hesitation, he pulled out all the money he had and gave it to her.”
Song Sitian added, “We tried to stop Big Brother, but he just said—”
“‘What if it’s true?'” Little Sister continued, imitating her brother’s tone.
“That girl was dressed so well, not at all like a daughter from a poor family,” Little Sister said critically. “If Big Brother doesn’t change this habit, he’ll never find a wife in this lifetime.”
“If we hadn’t noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled Big Brother away, we might have had all the money in our pockets taken. The girl even chased after us, scaring us into running all the way here until we finally shook her off.”
I sighed, thinking this might just be fate.
In the adjacent private room, Big Brother was meeting a girl from the Book Messenger’s family.
