Chapter 69: Eating melons about the Marquis

Yun Qiao stretched out her hands and wrapped them around the back of the Marquis' neck, pretending to knead it gently, but after finding the acupoint, she pressed down hard.

The man who was hugging her and biting her just now suddenly relaxed.

Lie in bed and fall asleep.

Yun Qiao then calmly stood up and looked at the man sleeping on the bed. This was because he had drunk too much today and his body was relaxed, giving her this opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get close to Chen Jingyan.

Yun Qiao clapped her hands and looked at Chen Jingyan who was like a pile of mud.

She pursed her lips, as if she was disgusted.

But he turned around and went out to tell Xiaodong that the Marquis had already fallen asleep, and the sobering soup brought by the maid was heating on the stove, and he would be fed it when he woke up.

Xiaodong left with peace of mind after hearing Yun Qiao's words.

Little did he know that his master had been pressed on the acupoints by the kind and gentle Aunt Qiao, and fell asleep unconscious.

Yunqiao rested in the outer room.

When Chen Jingyan woke up the next morning, he found Yun Qiao lying on the small bed in the outer room. He got up and walked over to cover her with the quilt.

"My Lord, you are up..."

Yun Qiao quickly got up and put the quilt aside. It was very hot that day because of the sun, so who would want to cover themselves with a quilt in such hot weather?

This marquis doesn't even know how to care about others.

Chen Jingyan frowned. "I noticed that you seem to dislike me even more. Did I do something wrong to upset you?"

Yun Qiao immediately shook her head, "No, the Marquis is fine."

[I just come here too many times and don’t do any work. Why do I think about sex all day long?]

Chen Jingyan snorted coldly.

"It seems that my master dotes on you too much."

Chen Jingyan waved his sleeves and left, feeling extremely unhappy.

I have seen people vying for affection, but I have never seen anyone complain about being pampered too much.

It seems that he has given Yun Qiao too much favor, which is why she is so arrogant.

After Chen Jingyan left, Yun Qiao really relaxed.

Dating and getting married is a burden in itself, and Yun Qiao doesn't like it very much, especially now that Chen Jingyan is so possessive of her, which makes Yun Qiao lose her freedom.

Her people can no longer be free.

But your heart and feelings must belong to you, and you must never let him control them.

Restraining one's emotions is the bottom line for an adult woman.

Xiao Tao waited until the Marquis left before going into the house.

I saw that her girl had already pulled off the sheets on the bed.

"Girl, why do you suddenly dislike this bed sheet? Isn't this your favorite peach-red elegant color?"

Yunqiao doesn’t like bright red and green colors, preferring simple and elegant ones.

Yun Qiao said, "The bed smells strongly of alcohol. Change the mattress."

"Everyone else is eager for the Marquis to come more often, but you, on the other hand, always complain about his frequent visits. It's strange, the old lady originally wanted to arrange for the Marquis to marry Miss Li, but how come Miss Li doesn't want to marry the Marquis anymore..."

Yun Qiao had no intention of listening to Xiao Tao's mumbling. She sat on a chair on the side, feeling a little annoyed.

"Xiao Tao, I want to leave the house."

I just offended the Marquis, and given his temper, I can't come here during the day today.

"Young lady, go if you want. The Marquis has no intention of restraining you. Besides, a few days ago, I saw Miss Zhang from Xiaoxiang Garden going out. She was wearing a gray dress. If I hadn't been familiar with her at Xiaoxiang Garden, I really wouldn't have recognized her."

"Zhang Yuqing?" Yun Qiao asked, "What did she do outside the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I don't know about this. If you are curious, I will chase after it next time I see it."

If Xiaotao hadn't said it, Yunqiao would have almost forgotten Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing has been much quieter recently. There was no movement in Xiaoxiang Garden, so Yun Qiao didn't pay much attention to it.

"I'll bring some things to visit Cheng Danmei another day." Yun Qiao said in a calm voice.

After changing her clothes, when Yun Qiao was about to leave the Marquis' Mansion, Li Yuan happened to come to find her.

"I wonder if Aunt Qiao has time to go out for a walk with me today."

She didn't have many good friends in Kyoto, but she did know a few through her aunt, but those people just ate, drank, and had fun together, competing with each other and bragging about useless things.

Compare who’s rouge and powder are more expensive, and compare who’s clothes are more precious.

It also talks about whose family has a higher official position and whose family has a stronger financial background.

So boring.

It's not as interesting as bickering with Aunt Qiao.

"Cousin, are you in a bad mood?"

"What's good about that? I've never felt good since I was in the Marquis' Mansion. My parents sent me a letter yesterday, saying that if I don't listen to my aunt, they won't let me go home."

Li Yuan just wanted to find someone to vent his emotions.

Yun Qiao said casually, "The Marquis is a good man, why doesn't my cousin want to marry him?"

"Do I have to marry him just because he's nice? The emperor is also nice, can I marry him?" Li Yuan snorted, then realized that his tone was a bit harsh, so he added, "Don't be angry, Aunt Qiao, this is the tone I use when I speak."

"I bought you this hairpin a while ago. I want you to go out with me today in exchange for it."

As Li Yuan spoke, he stuffed the hairpin into Yun Qiao's hand.

"Look at what you said, cousin. Even if you don't give me anything, I can still go out for a walk with you."

Yunqiao confiscated it.

Li Yuan didn't force it.

She gave the hairpin to the maid beside her, and she and Yun Qiao took a carriage and left the marquis's mansion together.

Yun Qiao was happy in her heart. She was just dozing off when someone brought her a pillow.

She wanted to go out and relax, and Li Yuan came to find her.

Although Li Yuan asked her to accompany her shopping, she did go out shopping, so she went out after all.

When Yun Qiao and Li Yuan were strolling in Huajinfang, they ran into Wang Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Wang family who was rumored to be marrying the Marquis and becoming his wife.

She was shopping at Huajinfang with several other women.

The leading woman was dignified and beautiful. She stood in the middle, not saying anything, looking around with a disdainful look.

"Everyone says that Huajinfang has many valuable things and treasures. But when I came here today, I didn't see any treasures there."

The other women didn't say anything. Wang Yanran shouted at the female shopkeeper in a haughty manner.

"Yinggu, why don't you take out all the treasures from Huajinfang? Open your eyes and look at who is standing in front of you..."

Yinggu is the manager in charge of Huajinfang.

She didn't recognize the person in front of her, but she knew from the way he was dressed that he was a person of noble status. She didn't want to offend him, so she asked her servants to bring out some precious embroidery.

"Miss, there is a VIP room in Huajinfang. Please go in and choose."

After the man left and went to the VIP room, Li Yuan whispered to Yun Qiao:

"Did you see that person just now? She was the youngest sister of the emperor, Princess Huachao. She and the emperor were born of the same mother and were always the most favored."

Yun Qiao knew that there was a favored princess in Kyoto, but she had never seen her.

"Seeing it today, it is indeed very noble."

Li Yuan curled his lips. "What's so noble about her? You don't know, this princess disappeared for a while and was later found. I heard that she has a heart-shaped red birthmark on her back."

As Li Yuan spoke, he gave Yun Qiao a piece of melon that had just been put on the market.

The two of them were eating melons from Huajinfang and chatting about gossip about the princess.

Li Yuan also said that Princess Hua Chao liked the Marquis very much, and it would be best for her if she could marry the Marquis.
