Chapter 1043 She's Not That Scary

“No wonder my grandmother came to me so actively.”

After reading the letter, Xu Xiaolei's eyes were full of sarcasm. It was a pity that he was touched for a moment just now.

It seems that I can no longer have any feelings for the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Xiao Qiong was very scared. She was afraid that the woman would go crazy. She was really scared.

"Xiao Lei, you and your grandmother should leave as soon as possible. Xiao Qiong doesn't dare to take action easily in the palace."

Jiang Wan looked at her coldly. If she dared to extend her hand to the palace, don't blame her for being rude!

As for Xu Xiaolei, following Old Madam Xu gave him some security.

"Brother, I can't bear to leave you."

Xiao Qiong hugged Xu Xiaolei tightly, tears in her big eyes, but she knew that this could not be changed.

"Xiao Qiong, the princess will take good care of you. Wait for me. Once I have established myself in Kyoto, I will come and take you back in person!"

The princess was right. It was his stuff, so how could he give it to someone else?

If he could get power earlier, he would not be in a passive state.

The brother and sister said goodbye reluctantly, and Jiang Wan sent Qiu Niang to personally take people to the Orphanage to pack up their things.

Afterwards, Xu Xiaolei went to the inn, and Xu Xiaoqiong came to the palace and was arranged to stay in the small courtyard where she lived.

But Jiang Wan didn't expect that the former second wife of Marquis Xiaoyao would be so bold.

She handed a visiting card to Jiang Wan.

"Princess, this person definitely has bad intentions."

Qiu Niang was speechless. She knew that the princess was protecting Xiao Lei and his siblings, but she still rushed over. It was really outrageous.

"Promise her and see what tricks she plays."

Jiang Wan put down the visiting card and said that Old Madam Xu was in poor health and needed to recuperate in Jiuzhou for a day or two.

This woman might be up to something, so why not let her come and see for herself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan asked Qiu Niang to accept the other party's visiting card, and he would visit her in person in the afternoon.

Xiaoyao Hou's former second wife did not have a good background; she was just the daughter of a minor official.

But she was good-looking and had the means to control Xiaoyao Hou.

At this moment, she knelt in front of Jiang Wan, and said softly, "Qinghe Xiao greets the princess."

"Look up."

Jiang Wan stared at Xiao's veiled face. No wonder Xiaoyao Hou was so stunned.

Although she is clearly a 30-year-old woman, she is still charming and endearing.

Xiao knelt in front of Jiang Wan and didn't let her get up. She didn't move. Seeing how calm she was, Jiang Wan felt it was boring.

"Get up."

"Yes, princess."

Supported by her maid, Xiao sat below Jiang Wan. She was very well behaved in front of Jiang Wan.

"Tell me why you're here."

Jiang Wan has a sharp eye, so Xiao's little thoughts cannot escape her eyes.

"Princess, Xiao Qiong is the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate after all. I just want to persuade you to allow the Marquisate to take her back."

Xiao smiled shyly, "They have some misunderstandings about me. If I can bring Xiao Qiong back to Kyoto, mother won't have any misunderstandings."

"You want to bring Xiao Qiong back to the capital, why do you want to find me, the princess?"

Jiang Wan laughed angrily, "First of all, you have to understand that Xiao Qiong's stay in Jiuzhou was the decision of your Marquis' Mansion."

"Princess, I'm sorry."

Xiao waved her hand and said, “That’s not what I meant, I just think Xiao Qiong is the child of the Marquis’s Mansion.

She deserves to enjoy the training and resources of the Marquisate, otherwise it would be unfair to her."

"Why do you think Xiao Qiong has been staying in the palace all this time?"

Jiang Wan glanced at her with a half-smile, "Or do you think that the way I trained her is not as good as the way your mansion trained her?"

"No, no, the princess misunderstood."

Xiao quickly waved her hands and explained, "The Marquis misses his child. Please understand the heart of a father."

She said nice things, but she couldn't do anything because Xiao Qiong was under Jiang Wan's protection.

"Xiao, in what capacity are you telling this to this princess?"

Jiang Wan stared at the person in front of her speechlessly. It was useless no matter how beautiful Xiao was or how alluring her eyes were.

She is not a man, so she cannot be seduced.

Sure enough, when asked by Jiang Wan, Xiao's expression changed slightly, "I am the Marquis's person in life and the Marquis's ghost in death.

The Marquis and my mother just have some misunderstandings about me. I will be able to return to the Marquis' Mansion soon."

"Alright, if you have any questions, go find the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. This princess doesn't care about this kind of thing."

Jiang Wan waved her hand, and Qiu Niang walked to Xiao's side, "Princess, I still have things to do, Miss Xiao, please go back first..."

"yes."

Perhaps Xiao relied on her status as the marquis' wife to do a lot of things, but now she has not only been divorced, but also has no status.

Naturally, she didn't dare to go against Jiang Wan, who was both a princess and a queen.

After she walked away, Jiang Wan looked behind the screen, "Xiao Qiong, is she that scary?"

"princess."

Xiao Qiong walked out from behind the screen, and the trembling that once penetrated deep into her soul seemed to have disappeared a lot.

It turns out that Xiao is also a paper tiger who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

She was more obedient than a cat in front of the princess.

"Are you still afraid of her?"

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Qiong tenderly, and Xiao Qiong shook her head gently, "It seems... not that scary anymore.

But she hates me so much, why did she have to take me back to the Marquis' Mansion? "

"Because she can use you to get back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Wan smiled and told the truth. Xiao was now a divorced woman.

If she wanted to return to the Marquis' Mansion, she could only pretend to be magnanimous in front of the old lady.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she might go crazy and want to hurt Xiao Qiong. In any case, Jiang Wan will not let her get her way.

"Just stay in the palace."

Jiang Wan warned: "This way your brother can go back to Kyoto with peace of mind to take back the things that belong to you and your sister."

"Thank you, Princess."

Although Xiao Qiong was young, she was a grateful person and she stayed in the palace obediently.

Xiao asked for a meeting several more times, but Jiang Wan directly told Qiu Niang to refuse and not meet her.

After waiting for two or three days, Madam Xu had rested enough. Before leaving with Xu Xiaolei, the two of them went to see Xu Xiaoqiong.

"Xiao Qiong, are you really not going back to Kyoto with your grandmother?"

In fact, Old Madam Xu still wanted to take Xiao Qiong back to Kyoto, but unfortunately neither Xiao Qiong nor Xiao Lei were willing.

"The princess is very capable. Xiao Qiong wants to learn more from her."

Xiao Qiong has become much more sensible, and Xu Xiaolei is very relieved. This way he can leave with peace of mind.

"I know you two siblings can't bear to part with each other, so just catch up on the past."

Jiang Wan and Old Madam Xu left the hall. Old Madam Xu was old and a shrewd person.

"Princess, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"Does the old lady know that Xiao has come to Jiuzhou?"

Jiang Wan has never been a person with a good personality. Since the Xiao family dared to come to her, Jiang Wan dared to tell Old Madam Xu.

Sure enough, when Old Madam Xu heard this, she was first shocked, then confused and angry.

"What is she doing in Jiuzhou?"

"A person who once hurt Xiaolei and Xiaoqiong came to the palace to ask for help from this princess."

Jiang Wan sneered, "She said she wanted to take Xiao Qiong back to the Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto. Old Madam, do you think this princess will believe it?"
