Chapter 396 Her Husband's Family

On the other side, Qiao Wanyan took the three of them to the front hall.

There were not many people in the front hall. Although the place was spacious, it was definitely not large enough to accommodate many people.

The young ladies were all in the back garden, the young men were in the Moon Bamboo Garden, and the front hall was quiet and peaceful.

Qiao Wanyan stopped and Jiang Qiyun picked up the teapot but found it was empty.

"Sister Wanyan, where is the tea?"

Xu Shujian glanced at him, then looked away.

That fleeting glance was clearly filled with disdain.

Qiao Wanyan turned around and said, "You guys are making a lot of noise at my Qiao family's table. If you guys like barking so much, why don't you be a guard dog?"

The noble lady from aristocratic family who was gentle and elegant just now turned into a mean and vicious person in the blink of an eye.

The changes are so fast that people can't react.

Jiang Qiyun said dimly, “Then I will be the watchdog of Yongning Pavilion, and let Chen Che and Xu Shujian be the watchdogs of my house.”

Qiao Wanyan: “........”

Have you arranged it yet?

Chen Che said without hesitation, "You are still showing off? You will cry when you get rid of the love poison."

Xu Shujian glanced at him.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and pretended to be confused in front of Qiao Wanyan, "What's this about love and hate? Why are you guys saying weird things lately?"

Chen Che: "I put a love poison in you. Otherwise, why do you think you and Wanyan have always been at odds, but why did you suddenly change your personality? The way you are being mean to Wanyan right now is because the love poison is controlling your mind."

After Chen Che finished speaking, he continued, "When you get rid of the love poison, you will start calling Sister Yihuan all the time. By then, I am waiting to see the day when you will be too ashamed to face anyone and cry in bed."

Jiang Qiyun was silent for a moment, and just when everyone thought he believed it, he strode to Qiao Wanyan and pointed at Shen Che.

"Sister Wanyan, he is trying to sow discord. I only know how to praise Sister Wanyan and criticize her. He is spreading rumors!"

Everyone: “…”

Chen Che frowned. He didn't add anything to the love poison given to Jiang Qiyun, but he added a lot of honey and sugar to Wanyan's love poison. Could it be that the added ingredients were impure, so the two people had different reactions?

The power of that love Gu was too great. Fortunately, I added something to Wanyan's body.

Xu Shujian lowered his eyes, as if he understood something.

So, finally the explanation makes sense.

Qiao Wanyan was so annoyed that she kept chattering.

She felt satisfied by beating them, and by scolding them, but she really didn't know how to deal with those nasty people.

"I don't have time to bother with you two right now. Either go to Yuezhu Garden or get out of the Qiao family. It's your choice."

Chen Che was dissatisfied: "Two? Who did you exclude? Me, Jiang Qiyun or Xu Shujian?!"

Chen Che emphasized the three words "Xu Shujian" at the end of this sentence.

Jiang Qiyun also responded to the voice, "Is it Xu Shujian? What's so good about him that you have to favor him? Isn't he just good at painting that crappy picture?!"

Qiao Wanyan was overwhelmed.

I sat in the armchair with one hand on the armrest, closed my eyes and held my forehead, feeling tired.

Xu Shujian: "Please stop questioning the Second Miss. She is already in a lot of trouble. Why do you want to force her like this and make her feel embarrassed?"

"Why are you pretending to be a nice guy here? Isn't it because of you that we can have a quarrel?"

"You are the most disgusting. You took advantage of me and still acted like a good kid. Why don't you just die?"

Qiao Wanyan suddenly stood up, without saying a word or even looking at the three people, she walked out of the front hall, out of the front door, got on the carriage and went home.

Only three people at the door were left watching the back of the carriage until it disappeared around the bend.

Chen Che wanted to beat Xu Shujian, but Xu Shujian said calmly, "If you touch me, I will complain immediately. The Second Miss trusts me, so she will definitely hate you even more."

Chen Che's fist that was about to hit his face stopped, then turned and hit Jiang Qiyun's face.

"Fuck you!"

"You uncle!"

The two men started fighting.

Xu Shujian glanced at the two of them and entered the Qiao Mansion without hesitation.

Who wants to waste time watching them fight?

Just as he stepped over the threshold, Xu Shujian heard the sound of horses' hooves stopping. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few people.

He stopped and looked back. It was Tianshu Camp.

A young man in a monk's robe got out of the carriage.

The abbot is calm and attentive.

Shangshu Mansion, Ci'en Hall

"Miss, something terrible has happened!" Xiaoying hurriedly ran into Ci'en Hall.

Qiao Yihuan had been locked up in Ci'en Hall and couldn't leave. Seeing Xiaoying's panicked expression, he asked, "What's wrong? You look so bad, did something happen?"

Xiaoying walked closer and whispered, "Miss, I just passed by the study and heard Manager Chen talking to a strange man. He said that everything was ready and he would take Miss to Landu at night."

Qiao Yihuan stood up and said, "Landu? That is..."

Xiaoying: "It is the Qiao family's hometown, but several generations ago the Qiao family moved to the capital. Although Landu is the Qiao family's hometown today, no one from the Qiao family lives there, not even a branch."

Qiao Yihuan frowned, "They want to send me to Landu and never let me return to Beijing. They want me to fend for myself in Landu."

Xiaoying: "The Tianzhao Division has already said that the recent disasters in the Great Pluto have nothing to do with the young lady, so why do they still want to send the young lady back to Landu?"

Qiao Yihuan was in no mood to answer her. She had been locked up and unable to go out for a while. She was not really in a hurry. She was just waiting for the blessing ceremony, the day that could change her destiny.

But now, what should I do if I am sent back to Landu early?

Now I am imprisoned in Ci'en Hall and cannot get out. If I can go to the Eastern Palace to ask for help from His Highness, I will definitely be able to stay in the capital.

But how to get out?

"Xiaoying, are father and mother in the mansion now?"

Xiaoying said, "The master and the mistress are in the second room now, but I saw that the second young lady seemed to have just returned."

As soon as Qiao Wanyan returned to the mansion, Steward Chen came over and said that everything had been arranged in Landu. They had found an ordinary family with a clean family background and planned to send Qiao Yihuan back to Landu tonight.

This matter was arranged by Minister Qiao, and Manager Chen handled the entire process. Now that it is done, he naturally has to inform the head of the household in the mansion.

"An ordinary family with a clean family background?" Qiao Wanyan asked.

Manager Chen nodded respectfully, "Yes, even if a young lady in our mansion wants to marry, she cannot marry into a bad family. This family's surname is Pei, and this Mr. Pei is the only son in the family, a student. His talent is limited and he cannot pass the examination to become a scholar, but he is very studious and although his temperament is not gentle, he is very manly, so he is also a good match."

Qiao Wanyan's expression changed slightly.

He was a student, but he could never pass the exam to become a scholar, that is, he could read but had no talent. He was very studious and thought highly of himself, and he wanted to achieve success overnight, without caring about family matters at all.

Without gentleness, one becomes irritable.

Nine out of ten cases, an only child is spoiled by the elders in the family.

A good match? Oh, it's hard for Manager Chen to find such a person.

"Second Miss, the eldest lady said she wanted to see you."

A maid came over to deliver a message.

Qiao Wanyan became more interested and said, "Let her come to Yongning Pavilion to see me."
