Chapter 201 - 201 Test
“It seems like they plan to stay here tonight.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s heart stirred as she began to ponder.
When she was shopping at another shop today, she saw a few boxes of beautiful colored rouge and face powder. She even bought a few boxes. Because the items were small, she did not trouble the shop assistant to specially make a trip to deliver them. She had Zhao Zhan carry them.
“I’ll go in and ask around.” Yue Jiaojiao took out a few boxes of rouge and face powder, mixed them with her fingers, and then drew a deep-colored butterfly wing-shaped birthmark at the corner of her eye. “Zhao Zhan, take a look at this, doesn’t it make me look different?”
The existence of the veil seemed to cover the natural flaw on the face, but the mark extended from the corner of the eye to under the veil, making people second guess the true appearance under the veil.
Zhao Zhan tilted his head and looked at her. He noticed that her fair skin was even more delicate because of the marks. He nodded in a daze. “Very.”
“Why don’t you draw one for me too? I’ll go in and test them.”
“It’s too strange for a man to wear a veil. Besides, you don’t have an ordinary face. Even if you draw such a mark on your face, you’ll be recognized at a glance.”
“Stay at the door. If anything happens to me, you can immediately come in.”
“Then take this with you.” Zhao Zhan took out a short dagger from his sleeve and handed it to the other party. “Keep this well. If there’s anything wrong, just take it out and use it.”
Yue Jiaojiao kept the dagger properly, then pinched Zhao Zhan’s face before entering the inn.
The two men were just about to roll up the portrait and put it away when Yue Jiaojiao saw this and deliberately exclaimed, “The little girl in this portrait really looks like a young lady I saw a few days ago, but she looks seven or eight years younger.”
She seemed to be sighing with emotion. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at the manager. “Do you have any recommended dishes here?”
The two men looked at each other, and then habitually compared Yue Jiaojiao’s appearance to the little girl in the portrait.
The last time they had seen their cousin was two years ago. Now that they saw Yue Jiaojiao, they only felt that her figure was similar, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar. However, her temperament and the red marks at the corner of her eyes made the two of them exclude her from the hunt.
After all, she was wearing a veil. Looking at the faint birthmark, she might look ugly after taking off the veil.
“Miss,” one of them moved closer to Yue Jiaojiao and unfurled the portrait in front of her.
“To be honest, our young miss has gone missing. The two have been looking for her for a long time. You mentioned that you’ve seen her before.
“Oh right, my family’s young miss is already eighteen years old.
“I don’t know if it’s possible, but can you do me a favor and tell me where you last saw her?”
“She got lost?” Yue Jiaojiao’s tone was one of pity. She looked at the little girl in the portrait seriously and said, “Now that I have a closer look, I can assure you that she looked just like that girl. I saw her at the post house half a month ago. She had beautiful clothes just like her, so I specially asked her where she found a tailor to make her clothes.
“Unfortunately, this girl said she was from Yang City and planned to return there. She looked so busy that day that I didn’t even have time to say a few words to her before she left in a hurry.”
