Chapter 130: The Femme Fatale in the Holy Light

"Yihuan, in which year did your family get this tongcao flower?" Guo Licheng asked casually.

Qiao Yihuan chuckled, "We are not very lucky, and we did not get any Tongcao flowers during the fun. I am a very good friend of the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. He promised to give me Tongcao flowers this year, and I will give you one then."

Guo Licheng was a little surprised. "You are friends with the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. That's amazing. I heard that the young marquis has a unique personality. Yihuan, you are able to make friends with him because you have great charm."

Guo Licheng is a daughter who has been carefully nurtured by the family. To the Guo family, she will be a pawn who will be married off to a wealthy family in the future to bring benefits to the family.

She speaks differently to different people, and any casual words she says are meant to compliment the other person.

Qiao Yihuan's cheeks flushed. "What's the point of talking about personal charm? Qi Yun just has a childish personality. He's not a bad person."

Guo Licheng smiled but didn't continue to agree with her.

People are not bad?

She had heard of the name of this little devil in Danzhou. He was actually not a bad person. How could he be fooling the devil?

Isn't it just showing off your good relationship with the young marquis?

He Baozhu couldn't stand those false compliments any longer, "Wanyan, how about we go to appreciate the red flowers?"

She had never celebrated the Flower Festival in modern times, and she didn't even know there was such a festival before she came to ancient times.

In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities, no mobile phones, computers, televisions, or even radios. Now that it was a festival, people naturally wanted to try everything.

Qiao Yihuan said, "Then Miss Guo, let's go together."

"Great!" Guo Licheng said, "I haven't made any friends since I came to the capital. I came here to pray with my mother. It's great to meet all the sisters and princesses."

Qiao Wanyan asked slowly: "How old are you?"

Guo Licheng took a few steps forward and walked side by side with her. "I just came of age this year, and I didn't know how old you were, so I called you sisters out of disrespect. But I felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud, because Miss Qiao should be younger than me, right? I was wrong to offend Miss Qiao, so please don't blame me."

Guo Licheng had a sweet face, round and harmless almond eyes, and a small but round face. Especially when she smiled, she spoke sweet and flattering words, which were not annoying to people.

Although it sounds like a compliment, no one dislikes it.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, except for Qiao Wanyan.

Whether or not he smiles at you depends entirely on his mood and his father's official position.

In her eyes, all the fathers in her family who held official positions below the third rank were, without exception, people who were too lazy to think about anything.

"I don't have any sisters, so don't try to get close to me."

The smile on Guo Licheng's lips was a little stiff. "Second Miss is right. I was the one who offended you."

Qiao Yihuan was left behind. After hearing this, she stepped forward and walked side by side with them. "Don't blame me, Miss Guo. My sister is spoiled at home and has some childish temperament. She didn't mean to be so mean."

Qiao Wanyan suddenly stopped and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.

She spoke with interest, "Sister, my maid accompanied Yaoyao into the back mountain. The handkerchief fell, can you help me pick it up?"

Guo Licheng glanced at her, then glanced at Qiao Yihuan's slightly embarrassed expression, and immediately understood.

She just thought that the two sisters of the Qiao family had a good relationship. This was wrong, extremely wrong!

He was so bullying and domineering outside. In comparison, the way he treated his half sisters at home was nothing.

Guo Licheng didn't plan to speak out to save the situation, because given her status, she would definitely have to follow suit.

Xiaoying was unhappy, but she still stepped forward and said, "I will pick up the handkerchief for the second lady."

Qiao Wanyan stepped on the handkerchief on the ground and raised her eyebrow slightly, "Are your hands dirty?"

"You!?" Xiaoying suppressed her anger. If she spoke in this state, she would definitely bully the eldest lady even more.

Qiao Yihuan clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves, his knuckles turned white but he slowly loosened them.

"Okay, I'll help you pick up the handkerchief."

Qiao Wanyan smiled faintly as she watched Qiao Yihuan squatting in front of her. The dazzling light of noon shone directly on her, which was so blinding that she half-closed her eyes, as if holy light was appearing, with a hint of holiness and purity.

But Guo Licheng felt that she was a femme fatale under holy light.

There is no need to hide the evil in human nature, just follow your heart.

When her elder sister implied that she was being mean to her, she retaliated right back.

Qiao Yihuan picked up the handkerchief and handed it to her. Qiao Wanyan never lowered her eyes to look at the handkerchief, but just admired with great interest the smile on Qiao Yihuan's face, which was extremely unhappy but had to be hidden.

"It's dirty, sister, please help me clean it up."

After saying that, he turned and left.

He Baozhu followed closely behind. Qiao Wanyan was not a good person, but she felt it was really cool to be friends with the evil girl.

In fact, she still remembered in her heart that at the Wanshou Palace Banquet, Qiao Yihuan shook off her hand with a dark face when he was about to help her.

besides!

And that fart, she will remember it for the rest of her life.

It is better to be a wicked woman than a hypocrite. You never know when you might be stabbed in the back just because you are useless.

Qiao Yihuan sighed helplessly and handed the handkerchief to Xiaoying, "Put it away. Go back and wash it before giving it to her. Please forgive me, Miss Guo. My sister is really childish and willful, and I'm used to it."

Guo Licheng shook his head. "No, it's normal for noble ladies to have a little temper."

Sister, you are so patient!

You are so patient, you will succeed in everything you do.

Tongzhou prefect Li Muxiu waited for a long time until Jing'an Marquis was free, but he still couldn't find where his son had gone, so he simply went alone.

"Your humble servant, the prefect of Tongzhou, greets the Marquis."

Jing'an Hou nodded slightly, "Tongzhou is at least three or four hours away from the capital. You are sincere in coming to the Flower God Temple to pray and worship."

Li Zhifu laughed and said, "The Flower God Temple is very popular. As a citizen of Dayu, it is worth praying to the Flower God to bless the prosperity of the country and the people's harvest, even if it is far away."

Jing'an Hou was used to those compliments, "You are thoughtful."

Li Zhifu sighed, "But I still have something I want to ask you, Lord Marquis."

"Tell me now."

Magistrate Li told the story clearly, but he exaggerated it by saying that his son was beaten by a lecher because he was trying to rescue a girl.

Jing'an Hou frowned, "Is there such a thing? Today is the Flower Festival. If someone dares to cause trouble in the Flower Temple, it means that he doesn't take me seriously. Don't worry, I will definitely give you and your son justice in this matter!"

Li Zhifu felt more confident, "Thank you, Lord!"

"Do you know what that person looks like?"

Li Zhifu immediately took out the portrait in his arms and said, "My Lord, look, this is a painting by a servant. It is the man in this painting who caused trouble for no reason. I spared the Flower Festival."

Jing'an Hou took a look and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will send someone to find this person. You can go back first."
