Chapter 46: Being provoked, Qiao Niang got drunk

Zhang Yuqing, who was sitting opposite Yun Qiao, glared at her with a pretentious tone.

"What do you know? We used to think that you were from Xiaoxiangyuan after all. Now that you're favored, how could you forget what you said before about taking care of the sisters from Xiaoxiangyuan?"

"It's fine if you don't care about us, but why don't you care about Sister Mei either? Sister Mei also had a fever a few days ago, and you didn't say anything. But Fang Jia came to see you, and you gave her Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng."

"Are you looking down on Sister Mei? Don't forget, back in Xiaoxiang Garden, it was Sister Mei who treated you the best."

Yun Qiao glanced at Zhang Yuqing.

"Put aside those things you shouldn't be thinking about. Even if I can help you, I definitely won't help you."

"My relationship with Sister Mei is very good, and you can't instigate it with just a few words."

Yun Qiao had no idea that Cheng Danmei had caught a cold before. She only found out about it when she saw it during the New Year's Eve dinner today. But she had already told Cheng Danmei in private that if she needed any help, she could just let her know.

Cheng Danmei still maintained a friendly relationship with her.

Yun Qiao didn't care about her relationship with Cheng Danmei. Cheng Danmei had helped her before, but she had also shifted the blame onto her.

Cheng Danmei is a sophisticated egoist. She will not break up with Yun Qiao just because of what Zhang Yuqing said.

Yun Qiao also had a suspicion that Zhang Yuqing's words might have been prompted by Cheng Danmei, so she decided to confront Zhang Yuqing directly, and then make Cheng Danmei think that she had no bad suspicions about her...

After hearing what Yun Qiao said, Cheng Danmei said, "Sister Zhang, Sister Qiao is a good friend of ours. You are not allowed to say such things again in the future."

Zhang Yuqing said, "Sister Mei, I'm speaking up for you. Yun Qiao really went too far. Fang Jia was given extra care when she caught a cold, but she left you alone when you caught a cold..."

Fang Jia, whose name was called, felt unhappy.

"Zhang Yuqing, you're such a boring person. You always bring me into everything you say. How have I offended you?"

"Please use your brain when you speak and act next time. If you want to seduce the Marquis, go do it yourself. Why do you insist on asking Yun Qiao to introduce you? What? Does Yun Qiao have to send the Marquis to your house to be considered as helping you?"

"If you want to be favored, go and fight for it yourself. Why involve Yun Qiao?"

Fang Jia's sharp words made Zhang Yuqing very angry. She pointed at Fang Jia and said, "You, you, you..."

Fang Jiale said excitedly: "I, I, I, what's wrong with me?"

"Sister Zhang, if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself, don't rely on others. Come on, don't be angry, eat some chicken butt, it will replenish your body..."

After hearing this, Yun Qiao wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh out loud.

However, the maid serving on the side covered her mouth and laughed a few times.

"Fang Jia, you've gone too far..."

Zhang Yuqing was so angry that he stood up and slammed the table.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the people at the old lady's table.

Especially the eldest daughter of the Wang family who wanted to see the chaos in the Marquis's harem the most. Although there was no shortage of concubines in this powerful family, all the concubines in the Marquis's backyard were beautiful.

The eldest daughter of the Wang family was not bad either, but as a lady from a wealthy family, she naturally did not dare to compete with the concubines in terms of romance.

She hoped that these concubines would fight because of her, and the old lady would see it and be displeased, so she would send them all away.

But the Marquis's concubines were all quiet and none of them made any noise. Who knows if they were pretending on purpose?

"That girl in the dark green dress looks like Miss Qiao..." the eldest daughter of the Wang family said softly, "Did they have an argument?"

The old lady's brows dimmed.

"Mother He, go check it out. What's going on? The New Year's Eve dinner isn't going smoothly."

Mother He hurriedly agreed and walked over.

The old lady said, "Don't worry about them, let's just listen to the opera."

Wang Yanran chuckled, "Yes, listen to the old lady, let's listen to the opera."

***

Mother He came with the old lady's intention, so she naturally did not have a good face towards the concubines present.

"With the distinguished guests here today, it would be better for the concubines to behave themselves."

"So as not to make the old lady angry, that wouldn't be good."

Yun Qiao looked at Mother He and said softly, "The sisters had a little quarrel just now, which really spoiled the old lady's mood. Please rest assured, Mother He, we are all well-behaved. It was just a quarrel. We have been in the mansion for a long time, and the sisters in our backyard have never really had any quarrels or fights."

"Miss Qiao is right. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go and reply."

After Mother He went over, she whispered a few words to the old lady.

At this moment, Gu Heng, the adopted son of the second wife, who had returned to the Marquis' Mansion a long time ago, also came back.

I saw Gu Heng and a group of people carrying several large boxes.

"My grandson is late, please forgive me, ancestor..."

The man spoke in a clear and pleasant voice. He walked hurriedly to the old lady and bowed to her.

The old lady was very happy to see the visitor.

"Brother Heng is back, come and let grandma see you, my grandson. You are the one I have missed the most these years."

Although Gu Heng is not the old lady's biological grandson, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is real.

"I'm a little late today, but I brought you a few boxes of frontier wine. I want to try some..."

Mrs. Chang, who was standing beside the old lady, smiled and said, "Old lady, look at how filial the second young master is. Just now, I saw three large boxes being carried in, and now I know they are all wine sent to you, old lady."

"Yeah?"

"I'm very happy today. I'll share this delicious wine with every table so everyone can have a taste."

Several young men sitting at the table below the old lady laughed and shouted, "Thank you, ancestor."

Yun Qiao's table also received a jar. Everyone shared some, but surprisingly, they all felt that it didn't taste good.

But Yunqiao likes it.

Drinking the wine reminded her of the red wine she drinks in modern times.

As she tasted the wine and thought about her feelings, she couldn't help but think of her modern self.

As she drank, she drank a little more. At first, she didn't feel anything, but after she finished drinking, she felt dizzy. The people sitting at the table with her finished their meal and left.

As soon as the old lady left, the people who were having dinner left one after another, leaving only Yun Qiao and a few concubines and maids from the main house, who were about to leave.

Xiaotao helped Yunqiao up.

"What's wrong with you today, girl? You drank a little too much for no reason."

Yun Qiao whispered, "I miss home and my parents..."

Hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes turned red. She was about to help Yun Qiao leave when she heard a warm voice behind her.

"But do you need help?"

"Ah Si, go take a look. If you need anything, go call a maid."

Yun Qiao listened to the man's voice and became curious about what he looked like.

Tilting my head, I saw the handsome face of a gentle and modest young man, without any aggression, just like the big brother next door.
