Chapter 239 Changes
There was ice and coldness in Qiao Wanyan's eyes, like the frost and snow in the bitter winter, without a trace of warmth, and terrifyingly cold.
If she is killed, this matter can be strangled in the shortest possible time and all the people who know about it can be dealt with. Qiao Chuxue will not be implicated even though she is unmarried and pregnant.
This was also the most appropriate solution Zi Yuan could think of when she got off the cruise ship, which was why she did not immediately use a carrier pigeon to deliver the encrypted letter to the manager at the dock.
As long as Qiao Wanyan said a word, she would immediately go to the ship to handle the matter properly and would not let any news leak out.
Qiao Wanyan said in a deep voice, "Send a pigeon to the dock and arrange for a cruise ship to come and pick up Qiao Chuxue. Stop the boat at the dock and don't let her get off so that the midwife can take care of her. After nightfall, send her back to the old house."
"The maid on the ship, Qiao Chuxue's maid, and the doctor."
Qiao Wanyan paused and said, "Tell them to shut up."
Zi Yuan understood, "Don't worry, Miss. I will do it right away."
Qiao Wan turned back without changing her expression. She kept Qiao Chuxue alive not because both she and she had Qiao family blood, but because she wanted to know who her adulterer was.
Who on earth has the guts to tarnish the reputation of the Qiao family?
Qiao Wanyan glanced at the panicked Zhou Yu and walked over. "She didn't hold the rope properly and fell down, breaking her bones. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be so scared. Our Qiao family is not the kind of family that would blackmail you."
Zhou Yu knew she was lying. She had just seen blood on the first snow, which meant the child was gone!
But he didn't dare to deny it and just went along with it.
"Yes, I am assured that the Second Miss is very righteous."
Qiao Wanyan added: "If such an embarrassing thing is told to others, it will also bring shame to her. I hope you know what to say and what not to say. If I know about this matter and you spread it out, I will make sure your whole family can't stay in the capital."
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Second Miss, don't worry, I am a very tight-lipped person and I will definitely not say anything nonsense."
Qiao Wanyan left with satisfaction.
Zhou Yu glanced in the direction of the cruise ship. The child was gone. Would Chu Xue be so emotional that she would ruin his plan? Would she still help him to make contact with Miss Qiao Er?
Jiang Qiyun saw her coming back and asked, "What happened? Are you seriously injured?"
Qiao Wanyan sat down with a calm expression, "The doctor said that her bones were injured, and she was already uncomfortable because of her period, so she fainted from the pain. I asked Ziyuan to arrange another boat to take her back."
Xu Shujian lowered his eyes. He was facing the direction of the swing. He saw a touch of red on Qiao Chuxue's white dress, which was covered by her cloak. It turned out to be due to menstruation.
But why would you hold your stomach if you hurt your arm?
Jiang Qiyun frowned, "What's the meaning of month, month or no month? How can you say such a thing so loudly?"
Qiao Wanyan seemed puzzled. "All women have their periods. Is this something shameful? Doesn't your mother have her period? Doesn't your grandmother have her period? Do you think this is shameful?"
Jiang Qiyun blinked and shook his head, "It's not shameful. Sorry, I said the wrong thing for a moment."
Qiao Wanyan scooped a spoonful of the sweet soup and took a bite.
She was very emotionally stable, and although she had a lot on her mind at the moment, she looked calm. After eating, she took a leisurely rest for a while and then continued to paint. There was no trace of suspicion on her face.
Xu Shujian's painting finally ended when the western sky was dyed a beautiful crimson color by the glow of the setting sun.
Lu Jinye was used to accompanying Qiao Wanyan to do this and that every day. Chen Che was very able to sit still. He would just sit there and watch her quietly for as long as Qiao Wanyan was painting.
Only Jiang Qiyun could not sit still. Sometimes he went fishing and sometimes he had an argument with Qiao Wanyan. He was scolded badly and then he continued to be ashamed after being quiet for a while.
On the way back, Qiao Wanyan saw that the cruise ship that had passed by at noon was also returning. At this moment, she followed behind her cruise ship.
At that time, on another ship, several officials of the Eastern Palace were feeling dizzy and wanted to go home to have a good rest.
They had been on the boat for a whole day, and the things that needed to be discussed should have been discussed long ago. I don't know why His Highness didn't ask to go back and let them drink cup after cup of tea.
They drank so much that they had to untie their hands again and again and were almost exhausted.
When the boat was halfway through the journey, the boatman received an order from the prince to overtake the boat in front and dock first.
Jiang Qiyun had been on the deck the whole time. He had just been scolded by Qiao Wanyan in the cabin and ran out angrily to sulk.
With his hands on the edge of the boat, he looked at the pier which was getting closer and closer. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a ship suddenly pass by and dock first. He didn't see anyone on the other side's deck, so he didn't take it seriously.
When the ship docked and some people got off the ship, Jiang Qiyun finally saw that one of them was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
Zi Yuan told Qiao Wanyan about this as soon as possible, but Qiao Wanyan did not show much reaction or joy.
He got off the boat calmly and saw the prince standing with his hands behind his back in the distance. Several palace officials in front of him were talking to him respectfully.
To get to the place where the carriage was parked, one had to pass by the prince, and when one met the prince one had to bow.
Jiang Qiyun and others saluted the prince. Qiao Wanyan did not rush to the front, but followed behind them and saluted.
Although the men were not too old, they were all tall. Qiao Wanyan was standing behind them so that her figure was completely hidden without even a hair showing.
He Zhiyu looked calm and composed, but deep down he felt that these people were a bit annoying.
Jiang Qiyun said: "If Your Highness has nothing else to say, then we will leave first."
He Zhiyu naturally didn't say anything and just responded indifferently.
Qiao Wanyan didn't say another word, and didn't even look at He Zhiyu.
The moment he passed by, He Zhiyu smelled a faint fragrance.
He restrained himself from looking at her, but still glanced at her back.
Lu Jinye suddenly felt his head getting heavy. He staggered and almost fell and stopped.
He had suffered countless hardships since childhood, and his strong willpower allowed him to hold on, but his body suddenly became limp and he fell down. But his consciousness gradually faded, and he knelt on one knee for only a moment before he fell to the ground and fainted.
Everyone looked at him, and Qiao Wanyan seemed to have thought of something.
What did he do to Qiao Yihuan?
But what could be done to not pass out after being with oneself for such a long time?
Jiang Qiyun squatted down near him to feel his pulse. Xu Shujian asked with concern, "Young Marquis, what happened to Master Lu?"
Jiang Qiyun: "It was poured for me to pour salt tea."
