章 19: Chapter 19: Best friend Gao Qing

Gao Qing was resentful towards Xia Lin and didn't miss a chance to trip her up at home. In the end, a good marriage opportunity for Gao Qing was spoiled by Xia Lin, leading Gao Qing to marry a classmate she looked down on, someone mediocre. Due to idle chatter at the West City Courtyard, she eventually couldn't stand it and moved to another city.

"Wow, just yesterday I heard the Lu Family's daughter had returned, and it's true, she's really back. Qiuqiu, how have you been these past few years over there? What were you all just discussing? Gao Shu got married?"

While they were talking at the door, Aunt Cuihua from the opposite house suddenly came out and tossed a bucket of water onto the road, then smiled and chatted with them upon seeing them.

"Oh, just visiting family. I'll be leaving in a few days."

Aunt Cuihua was famous in their courtyard for her gossip, and once she knew something, you could be sure the whole courtyard would know. Lu Jingqiu kept her response short.
