Chapter 9: Sisterly Love Broken, One Drunken Night Hard to Explain a Thousand Worries

  Qilin suddenly opened her eyes, and there was nothing around her. The snow was still falling quietly. It seemed like she had just had a dream, but now she couldn't remember it at all.

  She moved her stiff body, and a thin layer of snow had already covered her. She didn't expect to fall asleep while waiting for Qiao and the others, and this sleep seemed to be quite long, almost turning into a snowman. Shaking off the accumulated snow on her body, exercising her stiff body, closing her eyes and ordering her brain to forget the dream just now.

  Taking a look around, it seemed that Chuo and the others had not returned yet. However, the sounds of laughter and chatter from outside could be heard here. Qilin didn't plan on waiting any longer either, maybe going out would allow her to run into them.

  As soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she was disturbed by the joyful noise outside and covered her ears. The servants were busy with excitement. Why not ask someone? Xiao'er, that maid usually knew many people, maybe she knew something. Before she could finish speaking, Qilin stopped a maid who was carrying tea water.

  "Are you Ah Xue?"

  Huh? Someone who knows me? Qilin recalled the past, but somehow didn't feel like she knew this little girl. Was it because Cui'er often mentioned herself? And her own facial features were so distinctive, Qilin nodded and smiled, saying "I'm Ah Xue, that... miss, isn't this some kind of festival? How can it be so lively all at once?"

  The maid looked at Qilin with a surprised expression and smiled, saying "You're lazy again, aren't you?"

  Being lazy? I must have been misunderstood about something, Qilin nodded slightly awkwardly.

  "The ceremony, it ended half an hour ago. According to tradition, after the ceremony is a national celebration." The little maid looked at Qi Lin with envy and leaned in closer, saying "Ah Xue sister, what's it like being with Yu Mu young master?"

  "What? Qilin looked at the little maid in surprise, had she been misunderstood again? Qilin smiled brightly and said "Sister, do you know where Cui'er from the Laundry Institute is?"

  As soon as the mention of Qiao'er, the maid became cautious, looked around, and after making sure there was no one eavesdropping, she quietly approached Qi Lin's ear and whispered, "You don't know yet, do you? After you were taken away by Yu Mu Gongzi, Qiao'er from the laundry room was called over by Peony Miss to be her personal maid. I heard that Pearl suddenly died a terrible death."

  Upon hearing this news, Qi Lin was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, her face suddenly turned white, and the pearl was even more miserable.

  "What about Su Feng and Xiao Xi? Where are they?" Qi Lin's voice trembled with shock, grabbing the maid's arm and asking "Are you okay?"

  The maid let out a helpless sigh and continued, "Su Feng..."

  "Frost, what are you doing here? Don't you know today's guest is very important?"

  Fang'er? It should be this girl's name, how come this voice is so familiar? Qilin looked towards the source of the sound, and even though that person was wearing a cyan-colored fine dress with slightly flirtatious makeup, Qilin still recognized her at a glance.

  "Chao er." Not knowing whether it was excitement or nervousness, or perhaps surprise, Qilin didn't move forward, but just stood in place. Next to her, Shuang'er retreated a little, her small body trembling slightly.

  Qiao'er gazed coldly at Qi Lin, the corner of her mouth rising as she waved her hand to dismiss Feng'er. Only then did she saunter over to Qi Lin's side, eyeing her up and down before sneering, "Yu Mu Gongzi treats you well, doesn't he? This is top-quality snow satin."

  Qiao's words were devoid of feeling, her eyes no longer held the same pure and lovely innocence as before, but instead a cold sarcasm. It made Qi Lin feel helpless, listening to it chilled Qi Lin's heart, she understood that Qiao was no longer the same Qiao as before, and also knew that between them had silently and quietly formed an insurmountable distance of thousands of mountains and rivers.
