716: Bewitching

Bewitching

"Yes, I will. Thank you for telling me, Fourth Brother."

Su Xiaolu nodded. Zhou Zhi knew best since he grew up in such a place.

Su Xiaolu believed him. Thinking of her sister, Su Xiaolu was also worried. All she could do was try her best to accompany her and comfort Su Xiaoling. However, the actual path was still for Su Xiaoling to walk on her own. There were still many tests that belonged to her and Zhou Heng.

From the moment she chose this path, no one could accompany her forever.

Family. When she turned back, home was still there.

They were siblings. Blood was thicker than water. When they grew up, they would also be each other's support. However, they would not be the only ones in one another's lives.

"Fourth Brother, are you cold? If you are, let's go back to your room for acupuncture."

After drinking the tea, Su Xiaolu prepared to give Zhou Zhi acupuncture.

Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head. He said, "No, I want to see the snow here."

After putting down the chair, he could lean against it lazily.

Su Xiaolu was very focused when she performed acupuncture. Zhou Zhi either looked at her or looked at the needles.

When some needles were on his face, Su Xiaolu would move closer. Her breath was right in front of him. At such a close distance, he saw her fair face. Even the layer of hair looked especially cute.

"Xiaolu, can you eat lunch with me?"

Zhou Zhi spoke softly. After Su Xiaolu performed the acupuncture on him, he felt a little sleepy. The corners of his slightly drooping eyes made him look even more lazy.

Su Xiaolu nodded. "Okay, go to sleep first."

"Okay, if you're bored, go to the study and choose a book to read."

Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and closed his eyes to sleep after saying this softly.

Su Xiaolu covered him with a blanket and got up to look for a book in the study.

Zhou Zhi liked to collect books. Su Xiaolu recalled that when she detoxified him last year, she had seen a book about an Immortal Supremacy. She looked for it and found it. She took out two books and read them.

There was hot tea on the small stove. She sipped her tea and read it, occasionally breaking into laughter.

The jealous Immortal Supremacy was a little cute.

He had the appearance of an immortal and was dressed in all white.

Su Xiaolu's gaze landed on Zhou Zhi. This suited Zhou Zhi very well. She couldn't help but think that if Zhou Heng had never pushed his bones, he should look similar to this. Although he was also good-looking now, compared to Zhou Zhi's appearance, Zhou Heng's appearance looked ordinary.

It was very quiet, with the occasional sound of snow falling.

Su Xiaolu put away the needles when it was time.

At noon, Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi ate a pot in the pavilion. Su Xiaolu liked the feeling of cooking while eating. It was very warm. Her stomach was warm, and so was her heart.

She watched Zhou Zhi eat a lot and inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.

After dinner, Su Xiaolu stood up to say goodbye and went home. Zhou Zhi smiled and made a small flower for Su Xiaolu. It was red and had a faint fragrance. It was like a rose but it was not a rose.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother."

Su Xiaolu took the flower and walked home.

The snow-covered capital had a different kind of cold beauty. The red flower in her hand was also a beautiful scenery in the eyes of the hurried pedestrians.

When she was about to reach home, Su Xiaolu put the flowers into the Space.

When she returned home and saw that Old Wu was still practicing his sword, Su Xiaolu went over to practice with him.

She went to the Wisdom King's Residence in the morning and gave Zhou Zhi acupuncture, and stayed for lunch. In the afternoon, she went home to practice her swordsmanship.

For the next few days, she did not meet Princess Sindili at the Wisdom King's Residence.

In the blink of an eye, it was late December.

One day, there was a knock on the door of the Su family's house. Madam Zhao opened the door with the child in her arms. When she opened the door and an unfamiliar face, she became vigilant. "Who are you looking for?"

Sindili imitated the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After bowing slightly to Madam Zhao, she said, "Madam Su, my name is Sindili. I want to see your youngest daughter, Su Xiaolu. Can you help me tell her?"

Sindili was very polite. Seeing that she was polite and did not have any ill intentions, Madam Zhao said calmly, "Then please wait a moment."

Perhaps her daughter knew her, Madam Zhao thought.

She came to the backyard and saw Su Xiaolu teaching Chen Shi. She stood at the side and looked.

Su Xiaolu saw Madam Zhao and said to Chen Shi, "Shi, practice by yourself."

With that, Su Xiaolu walked towards Madam Zhao and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Usually, Madam Zhao would not come over when they were practicing their swordsmanship with Little Shiyu. If she came over at this time, something must be up.

Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. "Xiaolu, a woman is looking for you outside. She said her name is Sindili."

Madam Zhao did not know that Princess Sindili was from a foreign dynasty.

Su Xiaolu was surprised. She did not know why Sindili was looking for her. After thinking for a moment, she smiled at Madam Zhao and said, "I know her. I'll go out and take a look."

"Yes, go ahead."

Madam Zhao nodded. She was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with Su Xiaolu's expression.

Su Xiaolu went out. Sindili was waiting outside with her maidservant, Jiang Wei. When she saw Su Xiaolu come out, worry flashed across her beautiful eyes. She asked pleadingly, "Miss Su, can we talk? It's about your sister."

Su Xiaolu did not know why Sindili was looking for her, but after hearing the last sentence, Su Xiaolu understood.

Thinking of what Zhou Zhi had said a while ago, Su Xiaolu guessed that Zhou Zhi should have gone straight to the point and talked to Sindili.

Su Xiaolu nodded. "Sure. There's a teahouse not far from the outer street. Let's talk there."

Sindili nodded.

Su Xiaolu glanced at Jiang Wei. Their gazes only met for a few seconds before Jiang Wei avoided her.

Jiang Wei knew martial arts, and she was not weak.

However, Sindili was an ordinary person. Sindili was not a martial artist.

One was a princess, and the other was a maid, but they were in love.

Su Xiaolu could not imagine how this happened, but be it in ancient times or in the future, love between people of the same sex was obscure. It was difficult for the world to tolerate them.

At this time, women often had a harder time than men.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Su Xiaolu booked a private room. After sitting down, Su Xiaolu spoke first. "What does the princess want to say to me about my sister? Please say it."2

Sindili fidgeted as she placed them on the table. She looked at Su Xiaolu with her deep beautiful eyes and seemed to be conflicted and struggling. After a while, she made up her mind and said, "Miss Su, your brother-in-law is the current Crown Prince. He grew up with your sister. Can you tell me how they got along when they were young?"

"I want to hear how they fell in love and got together. Is that okay?"

Sindili looked into Su Xiaolu's eyes and said her request.

Sindili's eyes were especially beautiful. They were a rare lake blue, deep and charming. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had the most beautiful eyes in the world.

Su Xiaolu felt an indescribable attraction. She wanted to take a few more glances at her eyes. It was as if she had fallen into them, making it impossible for her to refuse. She only wanted to agree.

At this moment, a cute voice jumped out of her sea of consciousness. "Xiaolu, Xiaolu, don't be bewitched by her. Wake up."
