The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 633 - 634: 634 Test Qingyue

Chapter 634: 634 Test Qingyue

Su Qingyue praised, “Miss Tao’s thoughts are quite thorough.”

In ancient times, unmarried women did not discuss marriage proposals with others unless they were very close. Tao Meijiao talking about these things with her seemed like she really considered her a sister.

Tao Meijiao said cheerfully, “Qingyue, just call me Meijiao or Xiao Jiao.”

Seeing her sincerity and straightforwardness, Su Qingyue agreed, “Alright, Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao!”

“Aiyo…” Tao Meijiao’s body went numb, and she immediately retaliated, “Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue!”

She was full of black lines on her forehead, “Miss Tao, you really can make yourself at home…”

“I’ve always been good at making myself at home with people I like.” She looked at Su Qingyue, “It’s a pity, though. I admire you so much, but you’re not a man; otherwise, I would marry you.”

Su Qingyue’s mouth twitched, “Xiao Jiao, as I remember, you looked very dignified and virtuous on the day I caught Lai Tou…”

“That’s because I was outside.” She said embarrassingly, “I put on that act for outsiders. In front of you, I want to be a true friend without hiding anything.”

Su Qingyue was taken aback.

From her last life to this one, she had never had a close friend. Perhaps she could try having a sincere friend, “You are the young Miss of the Tao Mansion, and I, Su Qingyue, am just a village girl. Wouldn’t it be odd for us to be friends…?”

“Xiao Yue, you are not just some village girl.” Tao Meijiao stepped back a few paces and looked her up and down, “I think your figure is so hot, you have more style than me, and you look more like a young Miss than I do.”

“I really am a village girl…”

“Well, then you’re a village girl.” Tao Meijiao didn’t care, “A hero like you doesn’t care about origins.”

Su Qingyue was genuinely moved as she had been upgraded to a hero, “Alright, I will take you as a friend. However, I am not a hero; I am more like a bear.”

“Pfft!” Meijiao covered her mouth and laughed, “Xiao Yue, you are so funny. I haven’t laughed in a long time, but you made me laugh just now.”

“I’ll come and make you laugh again when I have time.” she touched her nose.

Tao Meijiao said, “I’ll let the gatehouse know that you are a distinguished guest when you come to my house.”

“Thank you.”

Tao Meijiao took out a jade pendant from her bosom and looked gratefully at Su Qingyue, “Thank you for returning my moneybag that day. Not only were there five gold ingots in the stolen moneybag, but also this jade pendant. This jade is an heirloom left to me by my mother. It means a great deal to me. Whenever I see this jade pendant, I think of my mom. That day, I thought I had lost my moneybag somewhere, I sent many people to search for it, but they couldn’t find it. It felt like ants on a hot pot. Thankfully, it was found again. If it weren’t for you, this jade pendant would have been gone. If I couldn’t find it back, I would have felt guilty towards my mom’s spirit in heaven and would regret it for a lifetime.”

She signaled, and a maid came over with a tray on which there were five gold ingots.

Tao Meijiao continued, “The inherited jade left to me by my mother is worth over two thousand silver taels. Your returning it to me makes me very grateful. These five ingots of ten taels gold were also in the moneybag that day. Consider these five gold ingots as a token of my appreciation.”

Su Qingyue stepped forward and took one of the gold ingots from the tray, looking at it closely.

Seeing her actions, Tao Meijiao couldn’t help but feel a trace of disappointment. It seemed that in this world, one could not find true friends; money was more important than friendship.
