Chapter 112 Yun Qiao and the Marquis fall out

Xiaotao delivered the letter to Yunqiao.

"The messenger said it was Grandma Wang from northern Shaanxi, and she said it was your wet nurse, Auntie. Isn't that Madam Wang?"

Mother Wang was not actually very old when she retired, but because of Zhou's harsh treatment, she developed an old illness. It was only when Yunqiao grew up and could take care of herself that she asked to return to her hometown.

While Xiaotao was talking, Yunqiao had already started reading the letter.

The letter was written by someone else.

"Someone's investigating me in northern Shaanxi?" Yun Qiao frowned, wondering who this person could be. Also, why did the nurse write in the letter at this moment, asking her to go to Qingshan Temple to find a nun named Huian?

Yun Qiao didn't tell Xiao Tao the contents of the letter.

She put the letter away, turned to look at Xiaotao, and asked her, "Xiaotao, when did you come to the Yun family?"

Xiao Tao thought for a long time before she said, "When I left, I was still very young. I only remember that my family was poor and I was very small. I really don't remember how old I was. When I entered the Yun family, I hadn't even started serving the young lady yet."

Yun Qiao has no memories of the time before she traveled through time.

Even if there was, it would be very confusing. After all, the tragedy of the fire and the charred bodies of her parents and brother filled her heart with fear.

To the extent that now, Yun Qiao's body instinctively fears fire, especially a big fire.

When she saw the fire, her body lost control. She was terrified and wanted to run, but her legs wouldn't obey her.

This was her inner fear and her secret. She had never told anyone because she was worried that someone would use it to murder her.

Yun Qiao asked Xiao Tao these questions because she wanted to get some clues from her.

For example, is she the biological daughter of the Yun family?

Or does she have another background?

Yun Qiao was in a state of confusion, not knowing where to begin her investigation. Oh, right, Qingshan Temple.

But this Qingshan Temple is in Jiangcheng.

It seems that she must go to Qingshan Temple.

Just as Yun Qiao was daydreaming, she heard footsteps outside the door. She was already familiar with Chen Jingyan's footsteps, and she knew it was him as soon as she heard them.

"Go get some water first and help the Marquis wash up."

"Yes, I'll go now." Xiao Tao bowed and walked out.

Chen Jingyan entered the house. Yun Qiao walked over with slow steps and took off his coat very naturally.

"I thought the Marquis would not come. If you come so late again in the future, please don't come. I have to wait for you here after all this trouble."

"What? Did I wrong you?"

Chen Jingyan smiled, took Yun Qiao's hand, and walked into the house. "Did you receive the letter?"

Yun Qiao looked at Chen Jingyan in confusion, "What letter?"

"The letter from your hometown in northern Shaanxi was delivered to the post station. I had someone there who saw it was you, so he brought it back."

In fact, it was not Chen Jingyan who said it, but Wang Xiaodong who found it out.

The letter came from northern Shaanxi and was addressed to Aunt Qiao.

Yun Qiao thought to herself: Was this letter brought by the Marquis?

Then he said, "I received the letter. It was from the wet nurse who was worried about me. Two years ago, my uncle sent people back to northern Shaanxi to worship his ancestors. He asked me if I should bring something for my deceased parents. The things were secondary. It was just a thought from my heart. So I packed a bag and brought some money to the wet nurse, asking her to help me put some tributes for my parents."

"I didn't expect to receive a reply from the nanny right now."

"Is your wet nurse okay?" Chen Jingyan asked with concern.

"The letter said everything was fine. Her son got married and had several grandchildren. She is now taking care of them at home and is very happy."

Of course, these words were both true and false. Yun Qiao mixed them together and Chen Jingyan just listened to them as a matter of fact.

Listening to Yun Qiao talk about her hometown in northern Shaanxi, her wet nurse...

Chen Jingyan asked her curiously, "Do you miss home?"

Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Home is home only when my parents are here. Without them, I have no home."

Here, she is just a small boat, how can she have a home?

Chen Jingyan heard what Yun Qiao was thinking.

But he thought that Yun Qiao was suffering because he was unable to give her a home.

"When you have children in the future, you will have the home you want."

Yun Qiao pouted inwardly in disgust.

Seeing her like this, Chen Jingyan asked her, "Why? Don't you want to start a family with me?"

Yun Qiao immediately asked, "My Lord, can you marry me? Only a father, mother, and children make up a family. What kind of family do you want with me? You will marry a legitimate wife in the future. There are some things you cannot do, and that is, don't make promises to me."

Yun Qiao felt a little annoyed.

I also don't like Chen Jingyan like this.

If it's just a sleeping relationship, then keep it simple.

Since we have to...

This is a bit too greedy.

Just at this moment, Xiao Tao brought hot water, and Yun Qiao wiped his face. Judging from her behavior, she was indeed a bit perfunctory.

"With your temper, I really can't say a word to you."

As he spoke, he took the handkerchief and washed himself. Yun Qiao was too lazy to care about anything else. She just sat in front of the dressing table and let the maid help her take off her clothes and change them.

She might not dislike Chen Jingyan in her heart, but if it comes to liking or loving him, she doesn't think so. It's just that at certain moments, she might feel a little distressed for him, that's all.

Even if she had liked her before, she was disgusted by the way Chen Jingyan handled his relationship. He wanted her, his concubine, to follow him wholeheartedly and even wanted to marry the Princess of Huachao.

It seems that it is time to end this relationship.

"My Lord, take a rest."

"Yunqiao." Chen Jingyan held her hand and whispered, "Don't think about leaving me. I know everything you're thinking. No matter where you go, I can find you."

"My Lord, what you said is really interesting. Your love is too broad, and I am a little unhappy with it."

She spoke the truth today and no longer offered false flattery.

"What's wrong with you today?"

Yunqiao was never like this before.

He tried to listen to Yun Qiao's inner thoughts, but found that he could not hear anything. That is to say, what she said now was what was in her heart.

Yun Qiao said calmly, "I'm not feeling well today. My Lord, if you feel disappointed, please go back to the main house."

"You're acting so strangely today. What you're saying is hard to understand. Yunqiao, I spoil you because I love you. Don't really think you can get cocky just because of my pampering."

Chen Jingyan frowned. He suddenly felt that Yun Qiao was becoming a little unreasonable.

"I don't want this love, just accept it. I have already told the old lady about the matters at the farm. I will help you, the Marquis, to take care of them temporarily."

"You..." Chen Jingyan also became angry. "Did you take the wrong medicine today? You are completely different from the Yun Qiao of the past."

Yun Qiao remained silent, not wanting to say anything more.

Seeing her like this, Chen Jingyan felt disappointed, so he stood up, grabbed his clothes and left.

Xiao Tao went to prepare hot water and was waiting outside the door. When she saw the Marquis leave angrily, Xiao Tao hurried into the house.

"Miss, what's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with the Marquis? You've never had a quarrel with the Marquis before."

Xiaotao found it strange.

Her daughter was as docile as a kitten in front of the Marquis, why did she change today?

"We didn't quarrel, I just don't want to pretend anymore. It's quite tiring to pretend to be myself all the time." Yun Qiao smiled.

"Xiao Tao, I'm really worried about our nanny in northern Shaanxi. I'm going to ask you to go back and visit her first. While the weather is nice, you should get ready and we'll be leaving soon."

Xiaotao's face was full of surprise.

"Miss, why did you let me go back to northern Shaanxi? I ​​haven't heard you mention it before."

Yun Qiao said softly, "Didn't I receive a letter from my wet nurse? It reminds me of when she took care of me. I'm worried about her, but I'm in the Marquis' Mansion and can't go back to northern Shaanxi in person. Please go back and check on her for me."

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."

There are many caravans from Kyoto to northern Shaanxi. She has been doing business for the past two years and has gotten to know some reliable businessmen. It is feasible to let Xiaotao follow the caravan back to northern Shaanxi.

Xiaotao must leave.

Xiaotao is a free person. It is much better for her to leave the Marquis' Mansion and find someone to marry than to stay here.

Her offense against the Marquis today was just the beginning.

I'm afraid that if she offends me too many times in the future, the Marquis will no longer have any mercy on her and will either kill her directly or send her to the backyard and never favor her again.

Of course, it would be best if she could be released from the Marquis' Mansion just because he dislikes her.

Now that Xiaotao follows her, she is worried that she will offend Chen Jingyan, and he will start with her maid.

Xiaotao is her maid, but in Yunqiao's heart, they have depended on each other for so long that Xiaotao is already her relative.

"But, I am used to serving you. I am afraid you will not be used to it if I leave."

"Don't we still have Qiuye and Qiuchan? Xiaotao, don't take yourself too seriously. In this world, everyone can survive without anyone else. Okay, let's do this as I say."
