Chapter 280 Rejection

"Just a few pieces of jewelry? Are you trying to make a good relationship with me?" Qiao Mengling suddenly shook off her mother's hand and glared at her fiercely.

The grievances, fears and resentments that had accumulated over the years...could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

Her eyes were red, her voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be roared from the deepest part of her chest:

"Is it just 'a few pieces of jewelry'?"

"That's the last bit of my dowry!"

"It is the foundation for Youyou and I to make a living in the future!"

"As the wife of the principal wife, facing the provocation of the concubine... this is the last bit of dignity I can maintain!!!"

Qiao's father and mother: "..."

Qiao Mengling snorted coldly, "You clearly know how that vicious woman bullied me, yet you only advise me to endure it again and again!"

"She now dares to break into my room and rob me of my things. She will kick me out of the mansion in the future!"

"Why did Youyou disappear? I don't believe it has anything to do with that vicious woman!"

She gave a bitter laugh and stepped closer to her father. "Do you know how to save face now? If you had been willing to open the door and listen to me just now, how could I have come to this Ministry of Revenue and embarrassed myself?!"

"Now my daughter is lost! My Youyou is missing! If you still remember the love between us, please help me find the child!"

"If you don't want to offend the Wuxin Marquis Mansion...get out of the way immediately!" Qiao Mengling roared like a mad woman.

Qiao's father and mother were stunned by this series of questions. Their chests heaved violently and it took them a while to react.

"You, Youyou is missing?"

"When did it happen?"

"So you're coming back today to ask us to help you find Youyou?"

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Qiao Mengling didn't want to embarrass herself in public, so she turned around to look for Tang Bao and quickly chased after him...

Mother Qiao’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted, but luckily the person next to her was quick to help her!

Ling'er is her biological daughter! No one knows a daughter better than her mother... If she hadn't...

Alas! Why did she have to be so cautious and vigilant, always scolding her harshly, and even wanting to give her some money in private, for fear of harming her?

Father Qiao's figure also shook violently, and he hurriedly ordered the servants who were traveling with him, "Hurry back to the mansion and make arrangements to find Youyou!"

......

After running around for a whole morning, Qiao Mengling felt her legs were sore and swollen, and every step she took was excruciatingly painful.

She looked at the small figure in front of her surrounded by guards and couldn't help but pursed her lips...

She was the wife of the Marquis of Wuxin. She could use the excuse of telling him in detail how Youyou got lost to get a ride in the boy's carriage.

After all, she's just a baby under four years old...are you still afraid of overstepping your bounds?!

Thinking this way, she hurried a few steps, squeezed in front of the crowd and was about to speak...

But he suddenly froze in place, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed!

What did she see?!

That little girl, who was not even as tall as her waist, was riding on the back of a giant white tiger without blinking a muscle! ! ? ?

Qiao Mengling was so frightened that she stepped back subconsciously.

But what puzzled her even more was that not only were the secret guards around that princess not afraid of the big cat...

Even the ordinary people passing by mostly just took a few curious glances, and a few vendors pushing carts even smiled and nodded in that direction, showing no sign of fear at all! ?

Isn’t this a man-eating beast?

Why... aren't they afraid?

A princess, in broad daylight, letting a tiger run rampant in the streets. Shouldn't these untouchables immediately report it to the authorities, sound the drum to report it, and punish this lawless little brat for disturbing the people?!

Qiao Mengling was shocked, and an indescribable sense of absurdity and jealousy... surged into her heart uncontrollably.

As expected...her Youyou is the most sensible, the most polite, the most dignified and steady!

Her son Youyou has a bad life!

Qiao Mengling raised her hand and wiped away her tears.

The idea of ​​getting a ride in the carriage was completely futile, so she had to accept her fate and led Tang Bao and his group to the Wuxin Marquis Mansion in a hurry.

Along the way, every time she caught a glimpse of the giant white tiger with steady steps from the corner of her eye, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and she always suspected that the beast would pounce on her and eat her whole at the next moment!

She was so frightened that she lifted up her skirt and almost ran all the way, wishing she could fly back to the Marquis' Mansion immediately!

A secret guard saw her agility and snorted in his heart: Is this what should be done?

She should have been in a hurry because her child was lost. But the way she was hesitating and crying before made people who didn't know her think she was performing on stage!

When they arrived at the secluded side alley of the Wuxin Marquis Mansion, Qiao Mengling habitually led people to the narrow corner gate.

"How dare you!" The leading secret guard's face darkened, and he glared at Qiao Mengling, "Even if my princess enters the palace, she will still follow the emperor's imperial way!"

"How dare you humiliate the princess?!"

"I dare not!" Qiao Mengling subconsciously knelt down.

Her cheeks turned red and hot, as if she had been slapped in public.

As the wife of a marquis who was married in a formal ceremony, shouldn't she enter and exit through the main gate with dignity?

She lowered her head hurriedly: "I, my rudeness! I will show you the way again!"

The towering vermilion-lacquered gate was tightly closed, and the stone lions stood solemnly in front of it, exuding the same solemnity as always, keeping people at a distance.

Qiao Mengling took a deep breath and walked forward to knock on the door.

After a long time, the door creaked open a crack, revealing half of the butler's expressionless face.

He glanced at Qiao Mengling with undisguised contempt and impatience, not even noticing the group of people not far behind her.

"Madam," he drawled, making no move to open the door, "didn't you just go out? Why are you back again? Besides, don't you always go through the corner door? Why today... Ha!"

Qiao Mengling dug her nails into her palms.

I was afraid that the kid would get tired of waiting and suddenly give up...

She suppressed her humiliation and softened her voice: "Butler Lu, I do have something urgent to do. Please be flexible and open the main gate.

"The main gate?" The butler snorted as if he had heard a huge joke. "Madam, have you forgotten the rules set by the Marquis? You can actually use this main gate?"

"If you continue to pester me about the Second Young Lady, I have already said everything I need to say. Either you return to Suochun Courtyard and wait in peace, or you go and look for her yourself. Don't cause any more trouble in the mansion and disturb..."

"Princess Zhaoning is here! Why don't you open the door to welcome her?" Before the butler could finish his words, an icy voice suddenly rang out.

It seemed to be hitting people right next to their ears, carrying a murderous aura.
