Chapter 80: Shi Jianli is a little stiff

"Impossible!" Ming Yueshu retorted loudly when she saw Qiao Jingchuan casting a concerned look at her. "I'm the third daughter of the Duke's Mansion. How dare a mere doorman like you tell such a treasonous lie! I want to see my grandmother and mother. They're just mad at me. I'll be fine once they calm down!"

Shuxi and Shule, whose faces were still red, looked at each other in bewilderment, and realized that the neighbors around them had sent people to check on them, so they lowered their heads.

Now only the girl fails to recognize the reality. She still thinks that the lady and the old lady were just joking, and that no one is there to see her off when she gets married is just the beginning.

The doorman dropped his smile and said coldly, "These are the old lady's exact words. Neither she nor the masters will see you! No one in the mansion agrees with your marriage. That day, the old lady asked you if you wanted to marry Mr. Qiao or continue to be a girl in the mansion. You kowtowed to the old lady and said you wanted to get married."

"The old lady said that since you are going to get married, you will no longer be a girl in the mansion after you get married!"

A doorman dared to speak harshly to her. Mingyueshu swayed in disbelief, staring at them with red eyes.

The doorman was not afraid of her, as she was just someone abandoned by the Duke's Mansion. He waved into the mansion and several burly guards came out.

"Since you don't have a visiting card, get out of here and stop blocking the masters' way out of the house!"

The palace guards clenched their fists and started to drive people away: "Go, go, go! Get out of the way!"

Shu Xishu Le, who followed a mindless and brainless master, resigned himself to his fate and tried to persuade his master, "Girl, please go. There are so many people watching us."

I'm so embarrassed.

Ming Yueshu vigorously pushed them away and said, "I want to see my aunt. Go find my aunt!"

"She's not from the mansion anymore, so where did this concubine come from?! Get rid of her!" the doorman said coldly, "Mrs. Qiao has nothing to do with the mansion anymore!"

The palace guards acted quickly and drove away everyone in the Qiao Mansion.

Ming Yueshu couldn't stand the pointing and talking of the people around her, so she returned to the carriage feeling ashamed and sobbed on Qiao Jingchuan's shoulder.

"Grandmother is so cruel. She just threw away the affection we had for over ten years. She didn't even let me return home, and she wouldn't let me see my aunt..."

"Father and mother didn't try to persuade Grandmother, and those sisters all rolled their eyes. If they helped to persuade her and let me into the mansion, wouldn't I be able to avoid such embarrassment?"

"After today, everyone in the capital will laugh at me, wuwuwu..."

"Qiao Lang, you are all I have."

Qiao Jingchuan patted her shoulder and comforted her gently, but where she couldn't see, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were dim.

"Shu'er, don't cry. I will treat you well and prove that you did the right thing by marrying me. Just apologize to the old lady in a few days. When I pass the imperial examination, your family will know that they misunderstood me."

He was also in a very awkward position today. He had thought that becoming the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion would be a glorious journey, and his future would be a meteoric rise. But now he had married a concubine's daughter who had been abandoned by the Duke's Mansion. Seeing the Duke's mansion's heartless attitude, he would not receive any support from them.

In this case, it would have been better for me to marry the cousin from the Shi family. Now she is much more valuable and beautiful than Mingyueshu.

Qiao Jingchuan looked at his wife who was crying in his arms, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.

It is still of some use. At least the dowry is large enough to support his family for a long time.

"I won't admit my mistake. They can't see your good side, so I won't go back and get the cold shoulder!" They were going to Chaozhou, and they didn't care about her at this time.

…

The servants went to report to the old lady that the person had been driven away.

The old lady drank her hot tea with a sarcastic look on her face.

With so many brothers, she asked Xiaoqi to see him off. She thought that even if the idiot didn't know what she meant, he would be angry and say that he didn't want to marry her because it was too embarrassing. But she still insisted on marrying him.

Even if she got married, the old lady would still be concerned about the reputation of the mansion, so she asked someone to notify her personal maid and told her not to return home.

In the end, she still didn't believe it and insisted on coming back to embarrass herself.

In that case, there is no need to save her face any longer.

"Madam, Aunt Su is here."

"Go back, you stupid thing. As the child's biological mother, I can't persuade him. Now that it's done, why are you still begging me for help?" The old lady waved her hand irritably.

"We'll be leaving the day after tomorrow, Lanying, please check carefully to see if there's anything missing."

"yes."

After the servants left, the old lady looked at the sky outside and sighed.

He pretends to be decent, but when there is no profit, the villain's true colors will be exposed, and her silly granddaughter's hard days have just begun. She will be abandoned by everyone, and it will be useless even if she cries and shouts.

…

As the sun melted under the clouds, Mingzhao, who had just returned home, sent someone to call out his fiancée. He handed her a bowl of sweet and thirsty water and said, "I brought this from the ice drink shop. Try it."

Shi Jianli took it, "Where's yours?"

Mingzhao heard this, closed the lid of the food box, and looked at her with a smile, "I only brought one bowl for you, I forgot mine."

Shi Jianli glanced at him, scooped up a spoonful of drink with a spoon, and handed it to his lips, "Would you like to drink it?"

Mingzhao's smile deepened. He lowered his head to drink the spoonful of sweet water, then stared at her.

Shi Jianli tightened her grip on the spoon, retracted her hand, and took both the bowl and spoon back. She turned her head away, her face feeling a little hot.

She knew he was teasing her, but he was really drunk and shameless.

Mingzhao even hooked his fingers and carefully rubbed her cheek with the back of his fingers, which felt very good.

Shi Jianli felt a little stiff and subconsciously took a sip of drink. The cool feeling suppressed some of the heat on her face.

Mingzhao was still a little stunned, his gaze fixed on her rosy lips for a moment, then he lowered his eyes with restraint and took out another bowl of sweet thirsty water and two bowls of locust leaf cold noodles from the food box.

"Would you like another bowl?"

Shi Jianli scolded him: "You are so annoying."

She drank it all and changed it.

"Yeah, I'm annoyed." He raised the corner of his lips, took the bowl from her hand, and gave her the one she hadn't drunk, "Drink this bowl."

Otherwise, she would be in a dilemma whether to drink or not.

Shi Jianli glanced at him and saw him pressing the spoon with his fingers, tilting his head back and drinking half of the bowl of sweet and sour water that she had drunk.

She lowered her head to drink the new bowl, and the tips of her ears turned red.

Mingzhao looked at her after finishing his drink, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up.

My fiancée is so cute, I want to kiss her.

After she put the bowl down, Mingzhao handed her the chopsticks and said, "It's not a big portion. It can be used as an afternoon snack. It won't interfere with your dinner."

Shi Jianli took it and said, "Yes."

"I'll see you off tomorrow morning."

"Okay, will my cousin and the others come back?" If my cousin doesn't come back to see me off, I can only see him in more than twenty days.

"They'll arrive tonight. We'll send you out tomorrow morning and then return to the barracks." Mingzhao was still looking at her. "Yaoyao is reluctant to leave her third brother. Will she miss me?"
