Chapter 12: Opportunity to snatch the heroine
After dinner, Jing Yuan asked the shopkeeper to prepare some dry food. If they set out today, they might not be able to reach the next city and would have to sleep outdoors, so it would be better to prepare more food.
Taking advantage of the break, Qiao Wanyan took Qiao Yihuan to go out for a walk, and He Zhiyu went with them and became the person who paid for them.
But Qiao Wanyan knew that he was trying to comfort Qiao Yihuan.
"Sister, please give me some money. I haven't eaten for several days. Sister, please have pity on me." A little beggar ran over and begged pitifully.
Qiao Wanyan smiled and waved, "Come here, sister." As she spoke, she took out a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to him.
The little beggar was stunned. One tael of silver? What a generous nobleman!
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister!" After saying that, he took the silver and ran away.
Qiao Wanyan sighed and said, "It's so cold, the child is wearing so little, it's really pitiful. Sister, I'm not in the mood to continue shopping, I'll go back to the inn and wait for you."
Qiao Yihuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end no word came out.
Is Wanyan deliberately creating an opportunity for herself and His Highness to be alone?
It seems that last night was indeed a coincidence. His Highness was kind enough to let her stay in the private room on the third floor. I was too sensitive.
Qiao Wanyan turned around and looked at He Zhiyu behind her, and the two smiled without saying anything.
After they walked away, Zi Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, aren't you creating opportunities for the two of them?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Yes."
"Miss, why do you do this!!!"
Qiao Wanyan reached out and touched her little head, "Because your lady is a kind person!"
Ziyuan: “….”
Qiao Wanyan sneered. The prince liked simple and kind people, so she wanted to be a simple and kind person.
You can't be too hasty in poaching people. If you are too obviously utilitarian like before, people will be wary.
If there is a first rift, there will be a second one. Even if you make up, the thorn will still exist. When this thorn grows bigger, it will become the fuse that cuts your heart.
No one likes a nagging woman, and no one can endure repeated betrayal.
When there is no sweet friendship between two people, but only countless suspicions and distrust, that is a dead end.
There was a smile in Qiao Wanyan's sparkling peach blossom eyes. It is better to believe in yourself than to believe in love and in men.
Because I will never betray myself.
In the alley, two ragged beggars, about eight or nine years old, stared at the master and servant as they walked toward the inn as if they were prey.
"See? This is the silver that the woman just gave me. Those rich people are all fools and are easy to deceive. As long as you pretend to be pitiful, they will be soft-hearted and give you a lot of money."
Another little beggar nodded and said, "Brother, you are really awesome. I can't even earn one or two taels of silver in a month of begging!"
"That's right! As long as I move my wrist, she can give me another tael of silver. And she will feel sorry for me and pity me like a fool. It's very easy to control her!"
After the little beggar finished speaking, he quickly ran into the alley, took the shortcut and ran ahead of the two of them.
A determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he ran away with a look of anxiety.
"oops!"
The little beggar bumped into Qiao Wanyan, got up from the ground, patted his butt, looked at the person opposite, and said pitifully, "Miss, please forgive me, please forgive me, it was all because I was too anxious and accidentally bumped into you!"
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly.
Zi Yuan scolded: "You blind thing, you bumped into my young lady and just said it was an accident?"
The little beggar didn't care. Those maids in rich families were all bullies who relied on their superiors for power.
He said humbly, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I was really anxious to get medicine for my sister, but the medicine cost two taels of silver and I didn't have enough money. My sister was seriously ill at home, and I was in a hurry to go back to find my sister, so I accidentally bumped into the young lady."
Qiao Wanyan said softly, "It's okay. You care about your sister too much. Ziyuan, go and take care of it."
After saying that, she left first.
Zi Yuan responded and looked the little beggar up and down, "Come with me."
The two arrived at a remote alley, and the little beggar was excited.
He got two taels of silver today, which was enough for him to eat and drink well throughout the winter. It turns out that rich people are stupid and easy to cheat!
"Ahh!!! My hand!!!"
Qiao Wanyan glanced at Zi Yuan who was following her and asked nonchalantly, "No one saw us, did they?"
Zi Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss."
"I went back and threw my cloak away. That little beggar touched it and it got really dirty."
"Yes, miss."
After traveling for four or five days in a row, they were still half a day's journey to the next county town, so they had to rest and sleep by a river.
Qiao Wanyan stood by the river holding a hot water bottle and looked at the setting sun in the west. Half of the sky was dyed crimson, forming an extremely gorgeous sunset that was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
She looks at the scenery, which is also the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.
Qiao Yihuan also came over at this time, seemingly because she was grateful to her for deliberately creating an opportunity for her to be alone with the prince that day, and she had been taking better care of her these days.
"How can sister wash her own handkerchief in such cold water?"
Qiao Yihuan said, "Xiaoying is not feeling well, so I let her rest."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said nothing more.
"Who's over there? Come out!" Zi Yuan suddenly stared at a tree and shouted angrily.
After a moment, a little head popped out from behind, a pair of almond-shaped eyes showing a defensive look.
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were half closed, and as expected, the opportunity that Qiao Yihuan encountered in the storybook appeared.
Qiao Yihuan stood up, only to see Qiao Wanyan walking towards the little girl.
The little girl was only about 13 or 14 years old, wearing ordinary clothes but looking cute. At this moment, she blinked her big round eyes and opened her mouth wide at the beautiful sister in front of her who looked like a goddess.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
In the story, when Qiao Wanyan was praised by her, she rolled her eyes at the other person, as if the other person was talking nonsense.
Later, she was conquered by Qiao Yihuan's kindness and treated her like her own sister.
But now, Qiao Wanyan raised a kind smile and said, "Thank you. Why are you here alone in this remote place? Did something happen to you? You can talk to your sister if you want."
When the little girl saw the beautiful sister, she was not only beautiful but also so gentle that her heart was immediately attracted by her.
Her pupils trembled slightly. "Sister, I want to find my brother. My parents died a long time ago, and I have been living with my aunt. My aunt wanted to sell me to a 70-year-old man, but I didn't want to, so I ran away to Yongzhou to find my brother."
Qiao Wanyan did not expose her lies. It was true that her parents had died a long time ago. But what about going to find her brother? She was just a rebellious girl who ran away to play under her brother's nose.
Her brother is the youngest medical genius in Jiuzhou Continent, the genius doctor Yun Heng.
