Chapter 94 The Distraught Marquis

Princess Hua Chao wanted to see Yun Qiao angry, but unfortunately she didn't see it.

Yun Qiao knew that Princess Hua Chao was definitely not looking for her for good reasons, so she just pretended to be stupid when she went to Princess Hua Chao.

Princess Hua Chao didn't dare to touch her. After all, she didn't dare to offend the powerful Marquis Zhenbei.

After looking at Yun Qiao, he let her leave.

Yun Qiao turned around and entered the Marquis' Mansion. Her palms were wet, so she wiped them hard with a handkerchief.

Power is overwhelming.

"Auntie, what does Princess Huachao mean by this? She called you over, just to take a look?"

Yun Qiao whispered, "I don't know what Princess Huachao means, but it seems like there's more to it than meets the eye. She seems to want me to have a quarrel with the Marquis. Could it be that she doesn't really want to marry the Marquis?"

When Li Yuan was still around, she had said that Princess Hua Chao was in love with Chen Jingyan, the Marquis of Zhenbei. So now that Princess Hua Chao was saying these things to her, she was probably trying to alienate the relationship between her and Chen Jingyan.

If it were that brainless person, Princess Hua Chao would really have alienated him with just a few words.

Yun Qiao is not a brainless person. For one thing, she is not madly in love with Chen Jingyan.

So Princess Huachao’s words didn’t make her angry at all.

As soon as I returned to Lan Garden, I saw servants outside the door bringing things to Lan Garden in an endless stream.

"Why did you suddenly send so many things?"

Yun Qiao asked softly, saying that one should not accept gifts without doing anything, and she would feel a lot of pressure if given too much.

"To answer Auntie, this is what the Marquis' Mansion has ordered in advance. As soon as Auntie returns, all these things will be delivered."

The person who spoke was the Marquis's attendant, and also the elder brother Xiaodong that Yun Qiao was familiar with.

"Since it is the Marquis' order, then send it in."

It is possible that the Marquis agreed to the marriage with the princess and felt that he owed her something, so he sent these things.

Not only the Marquis was keeping an eye on the news of Yun Qiao's return, but the old lady in the front yard was also keeping an eye on it.

Madam Chang was speaking softly, "She seems to have just returned. She must be tired and resting inside. I heard that the princess' carriage was seen outside the side gate of the Marquis's residence. She must have come at the right time to give Concubine Qiao a warning."

"This Princess Huachao is too impatient. As a princess, is she afraid of a concubine?"

"This marriage was personally chosen by the Emperor. This time, Sanlang will have to get married even if he doesn't want to. I just didn't expect that after choosing so many people, they chose such a person. This princess is of noble status, but she has lived outside for many years. Who knows what kind of person she is?"

The old lady was worried.

I heard that Princess Huachao is not someone you want to mess with.

Once her granddaughter-in-law enters the Marquis's Mansion, there will be no possibility for her to control her.

The old lady wanted to find a virtuous wife for her grandson. Whether her family was rich or noble was secondary. As long as her status was acceptable, she would be fine. But she absolutely did not want a princess.

But now this marriage is chosen by the emperor, so we have to accept it even if we don’t want to.

"How about we send someone to inquire about it. But what I don't understand is that this Princess Huachao was found with great difficulty, so why not keep her in the palace and treat her well? Not long after finding her, they renovated the princess's mansion and let the princess move out."

"What do you mean by that?"

Mother Chang didn't dare to discuss state affairs, and she whispered the rest of her words into the old lady's ear.

I'm afraid this Princess of Hua Dynasty is not favored at all.

The old lady had just finished talking to Mama Chang when she heard the maid come in and say that the Marquis had arrived.

"This time, you didn't go to Lan Garden first, but came to my yard first."

The old lady was shouting.

It was Chen Jingyan who came in from outside who heard it.

"Grandma doesn't like it. If you don't like me coming, I'll go to Lanyuan now."

The old lady snorted, "Don't forget, besides this Concubine Qiao, there is also Concubine Zhang in the backyard."

"Did His Majesty mention a wedding date this time when he entered the palace?"

Chen Jingyan had not returned since the morning court session. It was already late, and he thought that the emperor had kept him in the palace during this period of time.

Chen Jingyan said, "Just now, you still want to know what I think."

The old lady hurriedly asked, "Does Sanlang still want to refuse this marriage? If you say so, wouldn't that be disobeying the emperor's order? Will the emperor agree?"

"Grandma, don't worry."

It's not that he hasn't thought about getting married. It's indeed time for him to get married at his age, but he has never thought about who to marry or what kind of woman to marry.

Even after having Yunqiao, he still thought about getting married in the future.

But when it was time to get married, he became restless and confused.

"My grandson will make the final decision on this matter. Grandma, don't worry about it."

He had seen the Princess of Huachao once. She could not be said to be extremely noble, but her appearance was outstanding.

But compared with Yun Qiao, he still prefers Yun Qiao's purity. The makeup of this Hua Chao princess is too heavy.

After much thought, he still couldn't let go of Yun Qiao.

"Grandson has things to do, so he can't have dinner with grandma."

Chen Jingyan turned and walked out after he finished speaking. The angry old lady shouted from behind him, "You're just like your father. Once you see someone, you become obsessed with them and don't want anyone else."

"If she were fertile, it would be fine, but she's barren. If you only want her, won't that mean you'll have no descendants?"

"Don't you dare do that, Sanlang! If you dare to end your family lineage, I will die in front of you."

Chen Jingyan paused, and said impatiently, "Grandma, I'll remember what you said. You mean whoever gives birth to your child will be the one I marry?"

"You rascal, you're confusing your grandmother's meaning. What I said... was clearly that you can't favor Aunt Qiao alone."

I don’t know whether Chen Jingyan heard the rest of the words.

Look, he has turned around and walked away.

The old lady was furious.

"Old lady, don't dare to make yourself angry." Mother Chang immediately helped the old lady sit down and comforted her.

***

Yunqiao was very tired after driving the car all day, so she lay down to sleep as soon as she returned to Lanyuan. It was not until it was dinner time that Xiaotao came forward and called out a few times.

When Yun Qiao heard that it was time to eat, she turned around and said she didn't want to eat, then went back to sleep.

She was just about to go to sleep when she heard someone tugging at her shoulder.

Yun Qiao, who was half asleep, thought it was Xiao Tao calling her again.

"Stop bothering me, okay? Let me get some sleep."

"It's my fault for disturbing your rest. It's already dinner time. If you want to sleep, you should eat first and then go to sleep."

A familiar male voice was right next to her ear, and Yun Qiao woke up immediately.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that familiar man's face.

"My Lord..."

"Why, who else could it be if not me?" Chen Jingyan smiled and stroked her hair. "I'm sure you've been exhausted coming back this time."

Yun Qiao was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiastic behavior.
