Synopsis One:
Qiao Wanyan learned from storybooks that she was merely a vicious supporting character who abandoned her childhood sweetheart and adored vanity. She sowed discord, poisoned her ...
Chapter 476 Are You Cheap?
Chen Zishan felt that he didn't recognize his grandfather anymore. He was his grandson, and Lingyi was also his granddaughter. Wasn't the purpose of being in a high position to protect the family?
Now that he is forced to abandon his family without hesitation when faced with difficulties, what was the point of working so hard to gain a foothold in the court?
Shen Chunlai said: "However, we are not without a chance to overthrow Qiao Rushi."
Chen Zishan was not in the mood at the moment. He was only thinking about how to protect Lingyi, his own sister.
Chen Chun looked at him and his expression changed slightly, "Go back and have a rest."
Shen Zishan nodded and walked out.
Chen Chunlai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. His son was mediocre and incompetent, and his grandson was indecisive. It was really lamentable that he had such a wise life but he didn't have a successor to train.
However, things at home are nothing.
The most important thing right now is to bring down Qiao Rushi and make sure he will never be able to turn over a new leaf in his life.
This trip to Dali Temple was really a good decision.
I learned a lot of interesting news from Qiao Yihuan.
Treason...
Qiao Rushi is really very courageous.
"Someone come."
Outside the door, a man walked in.
Shen Chunlai ordered: "Go and help me do something."
Qiao Yihuan was still in danger, so the Dali Temple intervened and invited the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to hold a joint consultation, but no good news came out.
Now that she is in Dali Temple, Qiao Wanyan has no way of knowing the news about her first.
"Miss, the Crown Prince of Xiling is here and he wants to see you for something."
Qiao Wanyan said nonchalantly, "Didn't I say before that dogs and Shen Che are not allowed to enter the Qiao Mansion?"
The maid said, "Prince Xiling said that you will regret it if you don't see him."
Qiao Wanyan sneered, "I've heard a lot of big talk, but this is the first time I've heard such weak talk. Then tell him to get out of here right away. I want to see how I regret it."
Chen Che was at the door. When he heard the doorman's reply and was about to leave, he saw a young man who looked a little unfamiliar.
But he knew this man.
He is the grandson of Prime Minister Dayu, Chen Zishan.
Chen Zishan also recognized him and nodded slightly as a signal that he did not intend to say more.
Chen Che stopped and looked back, the doorman left and came back again, still ordering him to leave.
Shen Che sneered and turned away.
"I really have something very important to discuss with the Second Miss. Please pass it on to her."
The doorman said rudely: "Everyone who comes to see our young lady has important things to do, including the Prince of Xiling just now, but the young lady still hasn't seen him. Mr. Shen is an adult, he should be able to hear other people's refusal, why bother me?"
Chen Zishan frowned and looked inside, and did not look away until the doorman closed the door from the inside.
How can I save Lingyi if I can’t see Qiao Wanyan?
My grandfather gave up Lingyi, so I can’t give up her.
"It doesn't matter. If the Second Miss doesn't want to see me, I will wait until she is willing to see me."
When Qiao Rushi returned home, she saw Chen Chunlai's grandson standing at the door. When she learned that he was looking for her daughter, her face showed no enthusiasm.
"It's so late now, and it's inevitable that people will gossip about us if we meet in the mansion. Mr. Shen should go home first. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Chen Zishan refused to take this step, "Minister Qiao, I really have something important that I want to see the Second Miss for, please help me!"
Qiao Rushi said: "My Yanyan doesn't want to see you. As a father, I can't force her to do things she doesn't want to do or see people she doesn't want to see. If she wants to see you, I will let you in."
Having said that, he walked away.
Chen Zishan said again: "Minister Qiao, I want to make a deal with you!"
Qiao Rushi smiled and said, "Little kid, not everyone can do business with me. Go home. Your grandfather will be worried if you stay here."
The door of the Shangshu Mansion was closed. Chen Zishan didn't see anyone after all, and returned home dejected.
Qiao Rushi went to Jin's yard and saw her daughter sitting on the swing in the yard, talking about something. The lady responded with a smile and pushed her from behind.
The picture is beautiful and warm, instantly sweeping away the fatigue of the day.
Qiao Rushi did not say anything to break the beautiful scene in front of her, but just stood there quietly and watched for a long time.
Such a scene can purify his soul.
He just wanted such a peaceful and warm life, plus a high position and power.
"Daddy."
Qiao Rushi walked over with a smile, "Is Yanyan happy today?"
Qiao Wanyan spoke from the bottom of her heart, "I've been in a very good mood these past few days. I haven't been this happy in a long time."
Qiao Rushi touched her head and said, "As long as Yanyan is happy, your mother and I will be happy."
Jin Xianyu said, “Yanyan’s birthday is coming up at the end of the month. Last night, your father and I were discussing what gift to give you. Your father and I have already prepared a surprise for you, and I want to ask for your opinion on another gift.”
Qiao Wanyan thought about it carefully. She usually had whatever she wanted. She didn’t want anything for gifts because everything she wanted was already in her hands.
"I'll tell Dad and Mom after I've thought about it, okay?"
Jin Xianyu's face was full of love. "Of course, but you have to do it a little earlier. Your father and I still need to prepare."
Qiao Wanyan nodded and said, "Dad is back, let's go eat. I'm a little hungry."
"Look, our Yanyan is hungry. It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy came back too late."
"Isn't it? Daddy, you have to punish yourself with three cups of tea! No drinking!"
Qiao Rushi laughed, and the family of three went into the house.
Qiao Wanyan’s birthday is celebrated with great fanfare every year, but this year because Qiao Yihuan got into trouble and the son-in-law appointed by the emperor also died, the Qiao family had to be more restrained.
Only some relatives and friends were invited, and there was no lavish banquet for dignitaries.
The Marquis of Jing'an Mansion received the invitation to the banquet. As soon as Jiang Qiyun got the invitation, he asked Shen Che if he had received it. After getting the answer he wanted, he took the invitation to the banquet on the spot.
Chen Che was a little annoyed that he didn't want to see her, but he couldn't help but pester her and climbed over the wall to get in.
She was strode back and forth at the door of the room, fanning herself with her fan, head held high and chest puffed out.
Looking so high-spirited and dazzling, in Shen Che's eyes he was no different from a showing-off peacock.
He always wears red, and those who don't know him would think he is going to be a groom.
"I see, you can go now."
Jiang Qiyun seemed not to have heard, "Sister Wanyan is having a birthday party in a few days, and she's inviting relatives and friends. Let's go together then, since we live close to each other it's convenient."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed, "Oh, I forgot. Since Sister Wanyan is so annoying, I shouldn't have sent you a banquet invitation. Look at my memory. I forgot about it."
Shen Che looked at him with a cold gaze, "Are you cheap?"
