Chapter 290 Is this okay?

The next moment, Qiao Wanyan was stunned by the scene in front of her.

"W-what are you doing?"

Jiang Qiyun blinked his eyes before realizing that he had somehow knelt down in front of her.

The next second he immediately stood up, clenched his fist in front of his lips and coughed softly to ease the embarrassment, "I hurt my leg while riding a horse yesterday. My legs are a little weak and I can't stand. Don't get me wrong! I didn't kneel to you!"

"You're such a disgrace." Qiao Wanyan did not hide her disgust.

Jiang Qiyun was unhappy that she looked at him with disdain, "And you are embarrassing! You were in the backyard..."

He was halfway through his words when he glanced at He Baozhu and Guo Licheng beside her, waved his hand to signal them to move aside so that he could talk in private, and the two of them looked at each other without moving.

Jiang Qiyun grabbed Qiao Wanyan's hand and pulled her aside, whispering in her ear, "Aren't you more embarrassed than me for keeping a male actor in your backyard?"

Qiao Wanyan opened her thin lips slightly, "I support a male actor?"

Jiang Qiyun snorted, "I saw it with my own eyes, so don't deny it. You can lie to others, but you can't lie to me. Why, you dare not admit it after doing it? A noble lady from the capital secretly keeps a male actor in the backyard. If you tell others, won't you be more embarrassed than me?"

Qiao Wanyan guessed that he was talking about Xiao Zhao, who was temporarily being kept in his mansion.

When Jiang Qiyun saw that she didn't say anything, he knew that she was guilty, and his heart was very sad. He had clearly made her speechless, but at this moment he didn't feel happy at all.

"Don't tell anyone." Qiao Wanyan was silent for a moment and finally made a request in a lowered tone.

Jiang Qiyun was slightly stunned, quite surprised that she would ask him for help.

Although he knew that she was a throwaway person who would say nice things to achieve her goals and curse without hesitation after using her, he had seen this many times under the cliff.

But at this moment she was begging me for another man?

Qiao Wanyan asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Jiang Qiyun looked at her face for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, he responded reluctantly, looking as if he was trying to be reluctant.

Qiao Wanyan was about to tease him but was interrupted.

"Royal brother."

"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Two voices were heard in the distance. Qiao Wanyan also looked in that direction, and her eyes met He Zhiyu's.

The faint smile on her lips gradually disappeared, and she bowed politely and awkwardly, "Greetings, Your Highness."

He Zhiyu was not used to her indifference. He remembered that she always smiled and looked happy in the past. But because she left alone to have dinner in Mingyue Tower last time, she became like this.

"I saw your cousin arguing with Prince Xiling at the door, but don't worry, everything is fine now." He Zhiyu spoke to break the silence.

Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly without saying a word.

Cousin? Actually, his cousins were only Qiao Congshan and Qiao Jibai from the second house. The two from the third house were still young and were just his cousins.

She guessed that it should be Qiao Congshan. After all, Qiao Jibai would not do such a brainless thing.

Jiang Qiyun's expression changed slightly. He could see that Qiao Wanyan treated the prince differently before, but now she was so cold that it seemed like she wanted to distance herself from him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with the flood affairs in the southwest recently, but he didn't expect to have time to attend Chen Che's birthday banquet."

He Zhiyu: "He is the prince of Xiling, so my father should treat me with courtesy and etiquette."

He then asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Jiang Qiyun smiled and said, "It's a secret. If she doesn't let me tell you, I naturally can't tell your Highness. I hope your Highness won't blame me."

He Zhiyu felt a little suffocated in his chest.

Jiang Qiyun turned and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister Wanyan, I will definitely keep the secret for you."

He Zhiyu frowned slightly and said, "Sister?"

When did he become so close to Wan Yan?

Qiao Wanyan secretly wondered whether Jiang Qiyun had some private conflict with the prince and was deliberately trying to irritate him.

But this has nothing to do with her. Her target now is the prince. Jiang Qiyun's words naturally made the prince uncomfortable. Since he was uncomfortable, it meant that he cared about her.

"I'm going to change my clothes. Excuse me."

Qiao Wanyan leaned forward slightly and turned to leave. He Baozhu glanced at the faces of several people and felt that the atmosphere after Wanyan left was strange...

Weird.

But, it's exciting!

She has been busy with the restaurant business for a long time recently, and she deserves to see such an exciting scene!

Moreover, although Jiang Qiyun was also so arrogant in her impression, the more she looked at him today, the more she felt that he looked like a peacock in heat. She didn't know what was wrong with his clothes and appearance, which made her feel that he was trying to attract bees and butterflies.

He Baozhu recalled the words that sister Wanyan had said and slapped her thigh.

Could this guy be trying to seduce Wan Yan?

No way? !

He Baozhu's action was so unexpected that everyone looked at her.

He Baozhu chuckled, "My legs suddenly feel itchy."

Everyone turned their gaze away again.

He Baozhu sighed inwardly, huh, men, trying to seduce Meibao with their beauty, don’t they know that Meibao is surrounded by handsome guys?

Guo Licheng, who was standing by, looked at the Tenth Princess's hideous and evil smile with a puzzled look on his face. What, what happened?

It was like seeing a huge abnormal and exciting thing.

At that time, a girl in pink knocked on the door of the Shangshu Mansion.

The doorman opened the door with an impatient look on his face, and when he saw a strange girl, he asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with you knocking on the door?"

"My name is Chunlan, and I am a maid in the residence of Imperial Physician Zhou. I have something important to discuss with the Minister!"

The doorman said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Chunlan said quickly: "I saw Mr. Li from the General Zhongwu's Mansion push your eldest daughter off the cliff."

The doorman was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Go, go, go, you came to our Shangshu Mansion to cause trouble, I think you don't want to live! And you pushed off the cliff, why didn't you say that our eldest lady was seriously injured and didn't recover yet, so she ran to the cliff and jumped off by herself?"

What normal person nearly dies after slitting his wrists, then heads for a cliff right after waking up?

The door slammed shut. Chunlan didn't expect that he wouldn't believe her and wouldn't pass on the message. Thinking about the lives at stake over there, she became anxious.

No matter what people say about Miss Qiao, she is always kind and gentle to her maid. She is definitely not like the rumors say.

On the other hand, the servants of the Shangshu Mansion didn't care when they heard that something happened to their eldest lady. They could tell at a glance how much the eldest lady Qiao was wronged in the mansion.

Chunlan seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly ran towards the bustling Prince's Mansion next door.

She remembered that the Second Miss went to Shizi's house to attend a birthday banquet today. It would be good if she could see the Second Miss even if she couldn't meet the Shangshu. She had to tell the Qiao family about this matter after all!
