Chapter 1428: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (7)

Dai Ke's palm slid from his chest to his cheek, his fingertips caressing his wheat-colored skin, and asked provocatively: "So what if you can't remember it?"

Dai Ke narrowed his eyes and looked down: "Are you going to punish me severely?"

Zhao Zijin felt that if Dai Ke continued talking, things would get out of control.

He gently threw the person on the bed and turned his back: "Hurry up and put on your shoes and leave!"

Dai Ke raised his foot and poked his calf with his toes: "My feet are dirty, won't you help me wipe them?"

Zhao Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "Don't push your luck." Dai Ke lay on the bed and said, "If you don't help me wipe it, I won't leave."

"If someone finds us in the same room, the worst that can happen is that we die together. Having someone to be buried with us means we won't be alone on our way to the underworld."

Zhao Zijin felt that she was being controlled by Dai Ke. She walked to the basin indignantly, picked up a wet handkerchief, held Dai Ke's ankles, and half-knelt in front of her to wipe the dust from the soles of her feet.

While he was wiping, Dai Ke lifted his sleeves, revealing his still swollen arm: "I was serving tea yesterday, and my wife spilled the tea and scalded my arm. Do you feel sorry for me?"

When he looked up and saw the shocking scars on Dai Ke's arm, Zhao Zijin's breath stagnated, and he responded coldly: "No."

"Humph, you've already kissed me, but you still don't feel sorry for me. You're such a heartless and ungrateful man."

Zhao Zijin quickly wiped it clean and put the embroidered shoes on her: "Can we go now?"

Dai Ke walked towards the door with her hands behind her back, but Zhao Zijin pulled her back.

Dai Ke fell into his arms, her eyes seductive, "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"

Zhao Zijin pointed to the window and said, "There is a small path behind the back window that is not easily visible."

"But I am so weak, how can I climb through the window?"

Zhao Zijin couldn't stand her affectation anymore, so he opened the window and said, "Let's go."

Dai Ke stepped on the stool beside the bed and sat on the windowsill: "It's too high, I'm scared~"

Zhao Zijin just wanted to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible, so he climbed through the window and carried Dai Ke down from the windowsill.

Dai Ke walked towards her yard and threw him a wink: "You are always welcome in my room!"

...

"Brother, please go in by yourself. I am not familiar with the Seventeenth Aunt, so I will wait in the courtyard."

Zhao Zihuo didn't suspect anything and walked towards Dai Ke's room.

"Big brother!"

Zhao Zijin walked slowly from the courtyard gate: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Zhao reminded him every day to be wary of Zhao Zijin and Seventh Aunt, so much so that Zhao Zihuo became hostile whenever he saw Zhao Zijin.

"Why do you care what I do?"

Zhao Zijin smiled and said, "Big brother's actions have nothing to do with me, but this direction seems to be the Seventeenth Aunt's room, right?"

"I know that my eldest brother is upright, but the Seventeenth Concubine is about the same age as you and me. In addition, she has been favored recently and everyone in the mansion wants to find fault with her. If you go directly there, I'm afraid you will be implicated by her."

After hearing this, Zhao Zihuo realized that his identity was indeed not suitable for meeting Dai Ke alone.

He came to his senses and said, "Fifth brother, what you said makes sense. I'll go and comfort Seventeenth Aunt on behalf of mother when we meet some other day."

Seeing Zhao Zihuo leave, the Third Young Master frowned and looked at Zhao Zijin: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I will tell my aunt about this matter myself. You can go back first."

Zhao Zijin knocked on the door of Aunt Seven's room, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Seeing who was coming, Aunt Seven asked, "Did Zhao Zihuo meet Dai Ke?"

"I was just about to tell you about this, but I persuaded Zhao Zihuo to go back, and he didn't see Dai Ke."

The seventh aunt's originally cheerful eyes turned cold: "What did you say?"

"I've thought about it carefully. Zhao Zihuo went to see Dai Ke in the name of visiting. Even if someone saw him, he could say it was the eldest lady's order."

"Plus, my father has been doting on Aunt Seventeen recently. Even if the two meet, my father may not punish them. Instead, he will think that the eldest lady has a kind heart."

"So, I think this plan is not sound enough. It would be better to keep Dai Ke first and use the eldest lady's jealousy towards Dai Ke to make the two of them fight each other."

"And father hates troubles in the backyard the most. If the two fight too fiercely and the noise is louder, father will dislike them more. Then we can use some tricks to successfully get rid of the two enemies."

Aunt Seven nodded in understanding: "This plan is indeed more reasonable. You have become smarter in the past two years."

Zhao Zijin said humbly: "It's all because of Auntie's good teaching. If it weren't for Auntie giving me the opportunity, how could Zijin have achieved what he has today?"

Seeing Zhao Zijin's humble and grateful attitude, Seventh Aunt became more and more satisfied: "Okay, you go back first. The master will meet that vixen again later. You should leave quickly and don't run into him."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." In the study, Mr. Zhao was thinking that it was getting late, so he just stood up and was about to look for Dai Ke, but suddenly his eyes went dark and he fell down.

Dai Ke finished bathing and sat at the table, wiping the ends of his hair with a towel [Xiao Wu, it's already this late, why hasn't Mr. Zhao come yet? ]

[Isn't it a good thing that he doesn't come? ]

[If he doesn't come, it means I've fallen out of favor. I'll definitely be bullied by the other concubines. But it's only been two days. Will Mr. Zhao lose interest in it so quickly? ]

Just as Dai Ke was thinking, someone knocked on the window.

Dai Ke opened the window and found a bottle of medicine on the windowsill.

[Xiaowu, what kind of medicine is this? ]

【For treating burns.】

Hearing this, Dai Ke opened the lid, scooped out a lump of ointment with his index finger and applied it to the burn. The ointment was cool and comfortable.

She deliberately raised her voice: "This medicine is really good. I think it must have been sent by the young master. I must thank him in person tomorrow." Zhao Zijin appeared in front of Dai Ke like a ghost: "I just stopped Zhao Zihuo for you, and you still took the initiative to approach him. Are you afraid that gossip will find you?"

Dai Ke stared at Zhao Zijin with a teasing look: "So it was you who sent the medicine? Didn't you say during the day that you didn't care about me? You really say one thing and mean another."

Zhao Zijin found himself in Dai Ke's trap again, and laughed: "You are really cunning."

Dai Ke leaned his elbows on the window sill and stared at Zhao Zijin pitifully: "I'm afraid the master can't come tonight. I'm lonely. Would you like to accompany me?"

Zhao Zijin swung his sleeves and strode away: "You have no sense of shame!"

Looking at Zhao Zijin's back, Dai Ke said in a distant voice: "I'll be waiting for you anytime!"

Mr. Zhao didn't wake up until morning.

He moved his sore shoulders: "Could it be that I was too tired in recent days and suddenly fainted?" Looking at the early sky outside, Master Zhao walked towards Dai Ke's room.

He pushed the door gently, and it opened. The morning light illuminated the beautiful woman who was sleeping on the table.

She didn't sleep well, her brows were furrowed with a hint of sadness, which made people feel soft-hearted and distressed.

Mr. Zhao patted Dai Ke gently, and Dai Ke slowly woke up.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

Seeing who was coming, Dai Ke burst into tears: "Master didn't come last night, so I kept waiting and accidentally fell asleep."
