Chapter 69 onwards, don't come to this kind of place
I don’t know how long I waited, but the people outside finally quieted down and I heard the sound of a door closing outside.
Jiang Qingyue pushed Xie Lingyun away as if she had been pardoned, and jumped away as if escaping, looking a little embarrassed.
In contrast, Xie Lingyun walked out from behind the screen with his long legs, neither hurried nor slow.
"Don't come to places like this in the future." Xie Lingyun leaned against the pillar, looking down at Jiang Qingyue and gave her a neutral reminder.
Jiang Qingyue didn't understand, "Why?"
Xie Lingyun sneered, "Wang Tianxia, the financial backer behind this is the Seventh Prince. Are you walking into a trap by coming here?"
Jiang Qingyue opened her mouth and then nodded heavily.
"Thank you for the reminder, cousin. I'll remember it."
No wonder Guo Jingyu came here without worrying about the ears of others, it turned out to be her territory.
According to Mother Xu, Guo Jingyu once liked her brother-in-law, and Jiang Qingyue even thought that the child in her belly was her brother-in-law's.
Unexpectedly, this adulterer turned out to be... the Seventh Prince, Chu Hean.
Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, "Cousin, if Chu Hean and Guo Jingyu are having an affair, then is it possible that my elder sister doesn't have to get married?"
"You are very thoughtful." Xie Lingyun raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Qingyue smiled bitterly, touched her nose awkwardly, then stretched her head to look outside and bowed to say goodbye.
"My maid is still waiting for me. If you want to stay a while, I'll leave first."
After saying this, Jiang Qingyue left quickly.
Looking at the direction Jiang Qingyue left, Xie Lingyun's lips slowly rose, he chuckled, then reached out and knocked on the wooden window.
"Keep an eye on Miss San, don't let anyone find out."
Cang Yi on the roof: "Yes, Master."
Who says the master doesn't care about others? Isn't this quite caring...
Que'er held the account books and waited there obediently.
Finally, Jiang Qingyue appeared. He was a little out of breath from running, so he quickly picked up an account book and used it as a fan to fan her.
At the same time, he was straightening her clothes.
"Miss, please run slower. Look, your clothes are a little messy."
Jiang Qingyue's face flushed again.
This was messed up during the fight with Xie Lingyun just now. Fortunately, Que'er was simple and didn't think too much about it, so she didn't need to explain.
"Let's go back home."
When the master and servant were returning, they happened to see Lu Tingzhi leaving.
It was from the direction of Haitang Garden, and he was really affectionate towards Jiang Guiyu.
Jiang Qingyue didn't look away and walked straight past him, as if she didn't see him at all.
"Ayue."
She could pretend not to see it, but Lu Tingzhi couldn't.
Lu Tingzhi stopped Jiang Qingyue and asked, "You've vented enough of your resentment. Isn't it time to cure Guiyu's poison?"
Jiang Qingyue looked at him sideways, "Master Lu, are you interrogating a prisoner?"
Lu Tingzhi frowned, "Ayue, you don't have to be like this."
"Master Lu, there's no need to be like this. I made my point very clear a few days ago, and I thought Master Lu understood."
Lu Tingzhi frowned and looked at her with disappointment in his eyes.
"Qingyue, why are you always hostile to Guiyu?"
Jiang Qingyue chuckled softly, looking directly at Lu Tingzhi with her clear eyes, "From the moment Second Madam Jiang switched me with her, Jiang Guiyu owed me."
"Jiang Guiyu was raised like a precious jade by my parents, and he was held in the palm of his hand. But what about me?" Jiang Qingyue laughed, full of sarcasm. "Lu Tingzhi, I thought you were the one who could best understand my hatred."
"You've seen me being beaten and scolded by Madam Jiang Er. You know the suffering I endured for over a decade in Northern Frontier. Do you need me to tell you how I managed to survive?"
"You're asking me such a ridiculous question now. Why am I hostile to Jiang Guiyu? Shouldn't I be hostile to her? Master Lu, you're so... aloof."
Hearing Jiang Qingyue mention the past, Lu Tingzhi felt a dull pain in his heart.
But he was already engaged to Jiang Guiyu, and the matter was done. He didn't want to see Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Guiyu in a life-and-death situation.
Jiang Guiyu was raised in seclusion, how could she defeat Jiang Qingyue who came from the northern border.
In the end, Jiang Guiyu was the only one who suffered.
"But those things have nothing to do with Guiyu." Lu Tingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Qingyue quietly. "If you have any resentment, I am willing to make amends for her."
Nothing to do with Jiang Guiyu?
I didn't expect that such a smart man like Lu Tingzhi could be deceived by a woman.
Jiang Qingyue raised a smile at the corner of her lips, which was not a smile. She tilted her head and asked curiously.
"In your eyes, is Jiang Guiyu weak and can't be bullied?" Jiang Qingyue paused, "Then tell me, I had an affair, I was a bed-climber, I was a rotten person? Who spread those scandals about me?"
Lu Tingzhi's brows sank and his expression changed a little.
Jiang Qingyue looked up and glanced at the Jiang family's magnificent plaque.
"I just came back from the Northern Frontier. I have no grudges against me. Tell me, who is so interested in my story and spreading it so widely?"
"It's you? Can't stand seeing me doing well?"
Lu Tingzhi's expression suddenly changed, "How could I!"
"That can't be my biological parents, right?" Jiang Qingyue blinked and smiled bitterly, "Lu Tingzhi, you're so smart, how could you not guess who it is?"
"You wronged me for Jiang Guiyu..."
She worked so hard in the northern border to support Lu Tingzhi's studies and help him take the imperial examinations, but when he arrived in the capital, he felt that she was not up to the standard and became suspicious of her based on just a few gossips?
Seeing her eyes reddened, Lu Tingzhi felt a pang in his heart.
The kindness Jiang Qingyue had shown him and his promise to marry her were flashing before his eyes.
But what did he do?
"Ayue, I..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Qingyue had already turned around and walked into the mansion.
Que'er followed her angrily, murmuring deliberately for him to hear.
"Some people's brains may have been damaged by athlete's foot. If they see a doctor early, there might be a cure."
Passing by Haitang Garden, I saw that it was in chaos.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the heart-wrenching pain.
"The second young lady is making trouble again."
Que'er was still frightened, "Miss, let's go faster, otherwise those people will come to rely on us again."
Jiang Qingyue was not in a hurry.
She calculated the time and found that today was exactly the sixteenth day since Jiang Guiyu was poisoned.
Because of the sixteen needles on the soles of Que'er's shoes, she said that she would make Jiang Guiyu suffer for sixteen days.
I didn't expect the time to come so soon.
Jiang Guiyu got a great bargain.
That night, Jiang Guiyu stopped crying out in pain, and after half a month, he was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
When I woke up the next day, everyone in the Jiang family came over except Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Wanyin.
After removing the foot bandages, the sores healed and scabbed over.
Mrs. Jiang hugged her daughter and cried with joy.
"It must be the effect of the medicine that Lord Lu sent yesterday."
Jiang Shouye nodded, his expression full of admiration for Lu Tingzhi.
"Will these leave scars?"
Jiang Guiyu's voice trembled, and his thin appearance made him look even more pitiful.
