Chapter 43 Born Bad

In the warm room of the Jin Mansion, Zi Yuan walked in with a plate of osmanthus cake and placed it in front of Yun Yao. Yun Yao then picked up a piece and put it in her mouth with a smile.

"Sister Ayan, that Jiang Qiyun is so annoying. I was playing on the swing in the backyard just now, and he snatched it away from me." Yun Yao pouted in grievance when she said this.

Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "He hasn't left yet?"

Zi Yuan nodded, "No. The young marquis has wanted the best of everything these days, and the old man also indulges him, making him feel as comfortable as if he were at home."

Qiao Wanyan's white jade hand pinched the jade wheel and rolled her cheek, "Grandfather just found the naughty monkey interesting. He has lived here for so long for no reason, so he should be given some money as a reward."

"Miss, how much do you think is appropriate?" Zi Yuan asked. It seemed that as soon as she got the answer, she would immediately run over to ask for money and try to get some money back for the young lady.

The grain that the young lady sent to Qingzhou was all the high-priced grain that she bought with the money from selling her shops in Qingzhou. With so many shops, she could live a leisurely and comfortable life eating pork elbows every day for hundreds of lifetimes.

Now, if she could get some money out of the young marquis, the young lady would be able to relax a little.

Qiao Wanyan thought seriously, "Well, then let's ask for a hundred taels of gold first."

"You can't afford to live anymore?!" Jiang Qiyun appeared at the door. "It's just eating and living at your place for a while, why are you so stingy? Besides, why do you think I live here with you? Isn't it to save you?"

Jiang Qiyun was almost mad with anger. How could there be such a cold and indifferent person in the world?

It would be fine if she was ungrateful to her savior, but now she wants to ask him for rent money. This is simply outrageous.

If it was Sister Yihuan, she would definitely not be like this. If he hadn't been injured and couldn't move, he would have caught up with Sister Yihuan and returned to the capital. I think she has already arrived in the capital.

Yun Yao tilted her head slightly, leaned against the back of her chair, holding a plate of osmanthus cake and watching the fun.

Qiao Wanyan said calmly, "Did you say thank you to me?"

Jiang Qiyun: “???????”

No, I saved her, so I have to say thank you to her?

Is this human language?

"Puchi~" Yun Yao couldn't help but said, "Sister Ayan, you are really good at making fools angry. I want to learn from you!"

Jiang Qiyun's face suddenly turned red, he was angry.

At this time, a little maid hurried in, "Miss, someone from the capital is here, saying that they want to see you for something important."

A moment later, a woman in her thirties walked in, glanced at the movement in the room, and knelt down to salute.

"I greet the young marquis and Miss Qiao II. I came to Yongzhou to deliver Wanyan Jade Cream to Miss Qiao II on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly. The prince actually sent someone to deliver it? And at such a fast speed? Wasn't he afraid that Sister Yihuan would be unhappy if she knew about it?

Qiao Wanyan smiled and immediately let Ziyuan take it.

"Your Highness is so kind to me, Wan Yan is truly unworthy of it."

The woman said, "The Second Miss risked her life to save Your Highness, and Your Highness is naturally aware of this. I hope that the Second Miss will get better soon, and Your Highness will naturally come to thank you after returning to the capital."

Zi Yuan handed the things in her hand to the maid beside her, walked up to her and handed her a piece of gold, "Sister, you must have been exhausted on the journey. My lady invites you to have tea. It's getting late, so you can rest in the house and set off for Beijing tomorrow, okay?"

The woman secretly weighed the gold in her hand, and sighed in her heart that the second daughter of the Qiao family was really wealthy and generous. She was worthy of being the only granddaughter of the imperial merchant.

"Thank you, Second Miss. But I have to return to the capital as soon as possible to report, so I won't bother you any more."

She also had to hurry back to report to the Queen!

That day, the Crown Prince and the Empress had a quarrel, and the promised Wanyan Jade Cream was not taken away. Instead, the Empress sent someone to deliver it to Yongzhou in the name of the Crown Prince the next day, which is why she came all the way here.

Zi Yuan was naturally polite to the people around the prince, "Then I will take my sister out, please come this way."

As she was walking out, the woman saw a pale and pretty woman not far away. She still had a smile on her face and said politely, "Miss Qiao."

Although his master did not like this concubine's daughter, as the master's man, he naturally had to put in a good show.

Qiao Yihuan didn't know who this person was, she just thought he was Qiao Wanyan's man, so she didn't have a good attitude. She just looked at her coldly without responding.

The woman's expression changed slightly, she nodded without changing her expression and followed Zi Yuan away.

She is indeed far inferior to Miss Qiao Er.

When Jiang Qiyun heard the words "Miss Qiao", he ran out in two or three steps. As expected, he saw Doctor Liu's daughter supporting her and walking towards them.

"Sister Yihuan?!" he asked in surprise, "Didn't you return to Beijing? Why are you here? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Yihuan quickly regained her weak and harmless look. She had been tortured in that dark room during this period of time.

The two barbed arrow wounds on her shoulders were so painful that she wanted to die. She was treated with countless miraculous medicines, and her injuries did improve rapidly, and she was allowed to leave the dark room.

But those two extremely ugly scars made her wish she could die immediately.

If His Highness saw this...

Will he dislike me?

If I marry him in the future, will he gradually dislike me because of these two wounds?

The psychological and physical torture has caused her to lose a lot of weight in the past few days.

Qiao Wanyan appeared with a face as delicate as spring snow, wearing a gorgeous peach-pink dress, looking bright and charming, showing the unique beauty of a young girl.

It seemed as if everything in the world had lost its luster, leaving only this peach blossom fairy, which was in stark contrast to Qiao Yihuan's slightly embarrassed and sickly appearance.

"You believed me even though I was lying to you. My sister knew that I was seriously injured, so she went to Huafo Temple to pray for me."

Qiao Wanyan walked over with a smile on her face and held her hand, smiling sweetly, "Thanks to my sister for being so kind to me, I can recover so quickly. Just now, the prince sent someone to send Wanyan Jade Ointment as soon as possible. My injury will heal soon, so don't worry, sister."

Qiao Yihuan's face turned pale. Looking at her charming smile that was as dazzling as a spring flower, he suddenly shook her hand away.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Wanyan was stunned.

Jiang Qiyun was a little confused. He felt a little strange about Sister Yihuan, whom he had never met before.

Is it because Qiao Wanyan said that the prince gave her Wanyan Yugao?

Qiao Wanyan suddenly laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She could no longer pretend to be a weak and good sister.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said jokingly, "What should I do, sister? If you get angry too much, you will become ugly. Sister is not pretty to begin with. If you become uglier, how can you get married?"

Qiao Yihuan clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves.

This is a born bad guy!
