Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 25 Sisterhood
Yutong, who was holding snacks and sweet water outside the pavilion, couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked straight into the pavilion and put the dishes in the tray on the stone table.

He said with a dull face: "Miss Cousin, sit down and taste the sweet water."

Zhou Yuexue was stunned when she was called cousin. A month after she entered the house, no one had called her that again.

But she was only stunned, smiled, sat down and straightened her clothes, took a sip of sweet water in a dignified manner and said with a smile:
"This is made from pear, right? It's sweet but not greasy and delicious. Yutong's craftsmanship is really good."

Yutong walked to stand behind Lin Jinyan, looking at her toes when she heard Zhou Yuexue's praise, she said without raising her eyes:
"Thanks to the compliment from my cousin, this is the pear paste Gu Momo made for my lady. I just added water and boiled it."

Zhou Yuexue smiled gently: "Gu Mo is so good at craftsmanship. I can only drink it thanks to my sister. Yutong doesn't seem very happy today. Why did you start calling me cousin?"

Yutong replied expressionlessly: "Thank you, Miss Cousin, for your concern. I am not unhappy, but it is unreasonable to keep calling you by your given name. You are originally a cousin of the Lin family, so I should call you Miss Cousin."

Seeing Zhou Yuexue's expression stiffened, Lin Jinyan smiled slightly and said:
"I said something to Yutong just now. She didn't sound very nice. Don't blame me, sister. But Yutong is right. It's really not good to keep calling you by your maiden name. I'll call you cousin instead. I didn't realize it before. If I offend my cousin, will my cousin blame me?"

Seeing Lin Jinyan's innocent inquiry, Zhou Yuexue opened her mouth several times before softening her expression and smiling:
"How could it be? It's just a title and it won't affect the sisterhood between you and me. You can call me whatever you want, sister."

Lin Jinyan also imitated the way Zhou Yuexue patted her heart when she first arrived, patted herself and said with a smile:

"I hope my cousin is not unhappy. Please try this pastry. It's delicious."

Zhou Yuexue listened to Lin Jinyan talking about her cousin. She smiled stiffly and said a few more words to Lin Jinyan, then let Lin Jinyan rest well before getting up and going back.

At the door of Yan Yuxuan, he took the food box filled with sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Magnolia. When he walked out, he turned and looked at the three people in the pavilion, Lin Jinyan, Zhou Momo and Yutong, who were chatting and laughing. Zhou Yuexue's face was dark and unclear.

After Lin Jinyan finished talking to Zhou Momo in the pavilion, she asked Yutong to wait for her to go back to her room to rest.

After entering the inner room, she finished cleaning her hands, took the towel from Yutong and wiped her hands while saying:
"You were a little more polite to Zhou Yuexue. How could you be so direct? If grandma sees you later, you should be punished."

Yutong pouted and said: "She took you to the water. You fell into the water and felt hot and uncomfortable. You haven't cried yet after meeting Zhou Meme. Why was she crying? She was getting married to Zhou Meme again, and she said She has worked so hard on her knees, but she doesn’t even look like she’s admitting her mistake. I haven’t felt that before, but today she looks really artificial.”

Lin Jinyan sat beside the bed and Yutong took off her shoes, then sat cross-legged on the bed and said helplessly:

"It's good to know who she is and be wary of her. She still needs to be able to live up to her reputation. We have to make her uncomfortable and make her unable to find fault. Zhou Yuexue has done an excellent job in this regard."

Yutong squatted beside the bed and muttered: "I can't imitate her pretense."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "When you didn't know who she was, didn't you think she was pretty good? What you just said was very good and I like it very much. It's just that her attitude would have been nicer."

Yutong laughed after hearing this: "I know."

After speaking, Lin Jinyan lay down to sleep, and Yutong put down the curtain and retreated.
