Chapter 117 The So-called Oath

Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and looked at him as he looked back at her with his head tilted up. "Do you think that if I put my hand on your face, you can sleep soundly without feeling guilty? You have a really good plan."

Jiang Qiyun was choked up. He now naturally knew how unpleasant it felt to be wrongly accused.

I was so upset after being wronged for just one night that I couldn't sleep or eat. My mind kept thinking about how to defend myself and prove my innocence.

Beating Situ Yue twice didn't make him feel better. Instead, he became even more angry after beating him up.

Qiao Wanyan has been wronged for such a long time, but she has never come to me, which only makes me feel worse.

"What do you want? As long as it's not too excessive, I'm willing to agree to it."

Qiao Wanyan rubbed the blue and white porcelain teacup with his fingertips, his jade-like light brown pupils reflected his elegant and flamboyant appearance.

Yun Yao thought of a good idea and said loudly: "Then you must agree to Sister Yan's three requests and you are not allowed to refuse! Sister Yan, is this proposal good?"

Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything, but just moved her gaze from Yun Yao to Jiang Qiyun, as if waiting for his answer.

Jiang Qiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Three is fine! But don't go too far. I won't agree to anything like setting fire to the palace."

Don't let this crazy woman ask him to burn down the palace and beat up the prince, otherwise he would be courting death.

Qiao Wanyan suddenly smiled. Jiang Qiyun was close to her, and their eyes met.

In just a moment, the whole room was filled with light, and everything around became bright.

Qiao Wanyan said in a clear voice: "Okay. Then the first request is that I want the tongcao flowers that Jing'an Marquis Mansion prepares for the Flower Festival every year."

After hearing this, Jiang Qiyun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that she would want this.

Every year, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion prepares a set of paper flowers as gifts for the winners of a customary game during the Flower Festival, and this has been going on for more than ten years.

There are no restrictions on any requirements for fairness and justice. As long as you find the blessing ribbon in the Flower Festival lantern in the back mountain of Linghua Mountain, you can go to Jing'an Marquis Mansion to receive the winning gift of Tongcao flower.

Tongcao flowers are made of tongcao wood. A special knife is used to cut the tongcao core into thin slices and then carefully molded. It takes one or two months to make one flower.

It takes a craftsman a whole year to make a set, which is extremely exquisite and delicate, and is the dream of many women in the capital.

It’s a pity that the quantity is small and you can only rely on luck to get it every year.

Moreover, craftsmen who can make paper flowers are extremely scarce, which makes people look forward to the annual Flower Festival even more.

But this year, the craftsman invited by Jing'an Marquis Mansion to make paper flowers is old and this is his last year to make flowers.

At the beginning of the year, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion announced that the gift for the winner of this year's game would be changed from tongcao flowers to a white Heshi jade disc, because Jiang Qiyun would give this last set of tongcao flowers to Qiao Yihuan on the Flower Festival.

In the story, she knew that this was the last year to get the Tongcao flower, so she prepared to send many people to the back mountain to find the ribbon. Who would have thought that the gift for the winner this year was different, and she was very angry.

Finally, some tongcao flowers were seen on Qiao Yihuan's head, and someone simply stepped on the whole set of tongcao flowers and smashed them to pieces.

The result was that Jiang Qiyun came to vent Qiao Yihuan's anger. When the Crown Prince found out, he gave her a lot of hairpins, rings and jewelry to cheer her up, and ridiculed himself at the same time.

Since then, the prince's impression of himself has become even worse.

The me in the story does not know how to let go of my pride and dignity. I am a willful and arrogant person who will make a big fuss when I am unhappy.

He didn't think he was wrong when Jiang Qiyun came to his house, and when the prince came, he just pushed all the blame on Qiao Yihuan, saying that she was deliberately showing off in front of him.

Qiao Wanyan still doesn't think she has done anything wrong, but she has become better at disguising herself.

She didn't care whether Jiang Qiyun wanted to give it to Qiao Yihuan to express his love. She just wanted the exquisite headdress, which was the craftsman's masterpiece, because she hadn't won the first prize and got the Tongcao flower for several years.

Jiang Qiyun hesitated a little, "Can I give you five?"

The Jing'an Marquis Mansion prepares a complete set of tongcao flowers every year, each set contains six flowers of different colors.

Jiang Qiyun had been looking forward to giving the tongcao flower to Sister Yihuan for a long time. Now that Qiao Wanyan wanted it, he wanted to keep one.

He had blurted out to Sister Yihuan that he wanted to give her the craftsman's final work. He felt that Sister Yihuan would be disappointed in him if he didn't do what he said.

But........

Qiao Wanyan looked at him calmly for a long time before she said calmly, "I knew you weren't really feeling guilty. You've bullied a lot of people, so why would you care if they were really wronged? It was me who shouldn't have had any illusions about you, thinking that you really felt guilty towards me and wanted to compensate me."

After saying this, Jiang Qiyun felt like he was nothing.

It was the first time that Qiao Wanyan showed such a disappointed and lonely expression in front of him. It was completely different from the image of her in his impression of being arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable.

Seeing her disappointed expression, I couldn't say no.

She was clearly wronged, but she still bargained for it.

Qiao Wanyan withdrew her gaze and waited for his answer.

Just when Qiao Wanyan felt that this trick didn't work and was planning to let Yun Yao poison him, Jiang Qiyun spoke.

"Okay, one set is enough. I'll give it to you."

Qiao Wanyan slowly took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. For her now, showing weakness was not shameful.

As long as the goal is achieved, the process is not important at all.

There will be plenty of time to deal with this idiot later.

But...it turns out that men with such servile bones will be easily fooled by showing weakness.

Qiao Wanyan asked, "How do I know if you will go back on your word and deny your promise once you leave this room?"

Jiang Qiyun felt insulted. "I am not that kind of person. Since I promised you, I must keep my word. Do you think I am a shameless person like Situ Yue?"

"Then swear."

Jiang Qiyun thought she was so childish, "Okay, if I don't keep my word, I'll become a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, okay?"

Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, with an expression that said it was just a simple matter.

"This kind of oath is not reassuring at all."

What kind of oath is it to turn into a dog?

Jiang Qiyun patiently asked, "So what do you want?"

Qiao Wanyan thought about it, and was silent for a long time before she said seriously: "If you swear that you won't keep your promise, you will die a miserable death, be struck by lightning, be deserted by your friends and relatives, be infected with a serious disease, have your family ruined, be shattered, be cut into pieces, and never be able to recover. After you die, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer endless torture!"

Jiang Qiyun: “….”

Ziyuan: “…”

Yun Yao: “…”
