Chapter 71 Birthmark in the same position

After drinking some wine during the day and being busy for a long time in the afternoon, Yun Qiao didn't want to do anything at the moment and just wanted to lie down and sleep.

He slept in a daze for more than an hour, and only got up and ate something after Xiaotao called him a few times.

I lost my sleepiness after eating.

"Get some hot water so I can take a bath."

"Please wait a moment, young lady. I have asked someone to prepare some hot water and will bring it over shortly. Will you stay home tonight?"

I thought that since the Marquis had been here, he probably wouldn’t come again at night.

Yun Qiao said, "Just lock it."

After the hot water was ready, Yun Qiao took off her clothes and leaned against the wooden tub, leaving Xiao Tao to serve her.

She suddenly remembered what Li Yuan said to her in Huajinfang.

"Xiao Tao, look at the birthmark on my back, it's still there..."

Xiao Tao took a towel and wiped her arm, then said with a smile: "Look at the way you ask, girl. You've had this birthmark since you were a child. How could it just disappear after growing up?"

"I remember the birthmark on your body clearly. It looks beautiful even in the right place."

People say birthmarks are bad, but the birthmark on her daughter's body looks extremely beautiful.

Especially after taking a bath, when her body is still hot, her birthmark will become even redder.

Her daughter was fair-skinned, with smooth, bright skin, which made the birthmark look even more crimson.

Yun Qiao didn't answer. She asked Xiao Tao to get a mirror. She wanted to see the birthmark on her back.

Today during the day, when Chen Jingyan wanted her, she was lying on the bed with him behind her. She could clearly feel the place where he kissed, which should be the place where the birthmark was.

Xiaotao held up the mirror and let Yunqiao take a closer look.

"Look, girl, it's beautiful..."

Yun Qiao nodded, but in her heart she was thinking about the credibility of what Li Yuan said.

Li Yuan had just arrived in Kyoto and had made many friends, including many wives of high-ranking officials and nobles, so what Li Yuan said was very likely true.

Why is it so strange that the location of the birthmark on Hua Chao's body is the same as the one on her body?

This is what Yun Qiao is curious about.

When she traveled through time to the original owner's body, it was after a fire broke out in the Yun family. Both of Yun's parents had died, and even Yun Qiao's younger brother had died tragically in the fire.

What she learned from her wet nurse was that there was a fire in the Yun family's inner courtyard.

A wet nurse has no idea whether the Yun family has enemies outside.

Yun Qiao didn't know too much about the situation at that time and just believed what the wet nurse said.

But when she heard that she and Princess Huachao had the same birthmark, something seemed to have changed.

She even thought that the fire in the Yun family was not that simple.

But she couldn't figure it out.

"Girl, the water is cold. Do you want to add more water?"

Seeing Yunqiao was in a daze and didn't say anything, Xiaotao asked.

"No, I want to get up."

As she was talking, she heard some noise outside the door. Before Xiao Tao could ask, she heard Qiu Chan say, "The Marquis is here again..."

"Just when I was thinking of closing and locking the door, I heard Guard Xiaodong's words and opened the door immediately."

"Auntie, the Marquis is in the front hall now."

"I understand." Yun Qiao changed her clothes, combed her hair simply, and walked towards the front hall. The maid had already served tea and the man was drinking it.

"My Lord."

Yun Qiao shouted.

Chen Jingyan said, "Come over to check on you. Are you sober?"

Yun Qiao smiled lightly, "I'm not drunk, but my cousin drank a little too much today. I guess you must have a headache now."

"Why did you go out drinking with her?" Chen Jingyan asked casually.

Yun Qiao: "My cousin said she wanted to go out for a walk and came to ask me, but she wanted to go with me. I thought, the Marquis didn't restrict me, let alone restrain me, so I went out for a walk with my cousin. We saw a donkey meat hot pot restaurant, so we went in to eat some. After a while, we started drinking..."

My cousin doesn't want to marry into the Marquis's mansion at all. She's depressed and wants to drink. Isn't it all because of you, the culprit?

Chen Jingyan frowned when he heard what she was thinking.

Li Yuan doesn't want to marry him...

She didn't want to marry him?

What's wrong with him?

"Don't drink with her as much as possible in the future." Chen Jingyan said seriously.

Yun Qiao nodded in agreement.

Then he asked another question.

"Today, my cousin and I went to Huajinfang and happened to meet a woman dressed in luxurious clothes. My cousin said that she was the emperor's younger sister, Princess Huachao. My cousin also said that Princess Huachao had just returned to Kyoto. Does the Marquis know about this?"

Chen Jingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Qiao.

"Why are you asking about this?"

Yun Qiao smiled and said, "There's no point in asking. My cousin also said that Princess Hua Chao likes the Marquis."

Yun Qiao said this jokingly, but Chen Jingyan relaxed his expression.

"Princess Huachao hasn't just returned. She's been back for over three years. She spent the first two years learning the rules of the palace before being brought back. Anything she likes is purely a rumor..."

"What? Are you still jealous of me?" Chen Jingyan said this with a hint of joking.

Yun Qiao pursed her lips, "Why? I can't be jealous of the Marquis?"

He was really easy to coax, and he could be made happy with just a few words.

Yun Qiao did find out something about the Princess of Huachao from Chen Jingyan. It was late at night, and the two of them lay down, talked about some irrelevant things, and then fell asleep.

In the following days, whenever Chen Jingyan had time, he would often come to see Yun Qiao and stay at Lanyuan.

The time for Gu Heng to leave for Jiangcheng has been set, and he will leave at the end of the month.

He first prepared to send the things he needed to Jiangcheng, and then left on his own. Traveling this way would be much easier.

Just as I finished tidying up my things, I heard footsteps coming in from outside the door.

Gu Heng had very few followers, and there were only three or five maids in the yard. They would not come in on their own unless he was called.

"Second cousin, are you in the hospital? I've had a headache these past few days, and I'd like to ask you to get me some medicine."

Li Yuan said this and walked straight in.

Gu Heng frowned, his attitude cold and distant. "There are doctors outside the gate. Why did you come to Chunhui Garden to see me? You know your status very well. It's not proper for you to come to my place all day long."

She didn't say anything, but was scolded.

Li Yuan was immediately very unhappy.

"Why are you panicking, second cousin? I didn't tell anyone about what happened before. Besides, you're not going to marry me, so why would I keep pestering you?"

Gu Heng frowned.

"Remember your identity. You are the one who will marry the Marquis."

Hearing Gu Heng say this, Li Yuan was indeed unhappy, but she had been chasing him for too long and really didn't want to chase him anymore, nor could she do it anymore.

"Gu Heng, don't you like me a little bit?"
