Chapter 248 I Want to Make a Deal with the Second Miss
Yunjian Yansi Backyard
Zhou Yu had not been able to eat or sleep for many days. His parents were very distressed and only after careful questioning did they find out what had happened.
"How could you..." Zhou's father hesitated and finally sighed.
"How could you do such a stupid thing!"
Zhou Yu's face was full of anxiety. The door of the Qiao family had been closed during this period, and not a single word of news had leaked out. He really didn't know what had happened to Chu Xue.
Whether the child was saved or not, and whether her parents knew who the child belonged to.
If I knew, then my plan...
Father Zhou: "If you want to be the son-in-law of the Minister of Revenue, you should have gone after the minister's daughter from the beginning. Why mess with Qiao Chuxue? If you only want money, then you should have focused on taking Qiao Chuxue. Look at you now, you are stuck in the middle!"
Mother Zhou felt sorry for her son and rolled her eyes at him. "Our son did that for the future prosperity of our family. It would be fine if you didn't give him any advice, but now you are blaming Yu'er."
Mother Zhou held Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, son. The Qiao family hasn't come to our house yet, so it must be Qiao Chuxue who hasn't said anything yet. Don't act rashly. Just stay at home and don't go anywhere. Don't let anyone notice anything."
Zhou Yu nodded slightly, feeling very depressed, "I'm going out to have a drink with my friends, Dad and Mom, you guys go to bed first."
Father Zhou was very disappointed. "You still want to go out for a drink? Have you forgotten what your mother just told you?"
Mother Zhou pushed him and said, "Alright, if your son is feeling aggrieved, just let him go out and get some fresh air. But remember, son, don't go look for Qiao Chuxue!"
Zhou Yu nodded and left.
Father Zhou said after seeing the people leave, "Go to the Qiao family tomorrow to see if they know about our son. If they don't know, we still have a chance. If they do know, we must quickly drag the daughter of the Minister of Revenue into the water, so that our whole family can survive!"
Mother Zhou frowned, "Drag him into the water? How do you drag him into the water?"
Father Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "The rice has been cooked, Qiao Chuxue will not refuse to help plead for mercy. By then, the Qiao family will have to endure our son for the sake of Second Miss Qiao even if it means swallowing needles! If they don't, Second Miss Qiao will have to be a nun for the rest of her life!"
Late at night, a sneaky guest appeared in the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
The servant opened the door impatiently and was about to curse when he saw a young man kneeling down outside the door with a plop. His tone was very polite and respectful, even with a hint of panic due to anxiety.
"Please, brother, I have something important to discuss with Miss Qiao Er!"
Don't hit a smiling person. This man had a handsome face and spoke in a humble tone. The servant lowered his voice a little but still refused.
"No. Even if something terrible happened, you can't disturb the Second Miss's rest. If there is anything, come back tomorrow and I will inform you."
Xiao Zhao refused to leave. Li Hansong was staying in the Military Camp and would not come back tonight, so he dared to sneak out of the general's mansion and run here in the middle of the night.
The Second Miss was of noble status, and even Li Hansong did not dare to act rashly in front of her. If he offered a high enough stake, the Second Miss would help him.
"I really have something important to discuss with the Second Miss. It is a matter of great importance, otherwise I would not have dared to come at this time. Please tell me that I am Xiao Zhao from Changhua Pear Garden."
The servant still didn't intend to let him go.
What a joke! If this unknown actor were to disturb the Second Young Lady's rest, he would die and I would too.
Just when the servant was about to refuse, Ziyuan came out.
"Miss Ziyuan, why are you here?"
Zi Yuan said nothing. She walked up to Xiao Zhao with a lantern in her hand, looked down at him in the light of the lantern, and said, "Come in with me."
The lights in Yongning Pavilion were not on because Qiao Wanyan was meeting him in the front hall.
As soon as Xiao Zhao saw Qiao Wanyan, he knelt on the ground and said, "Second Miss, I want to make a deal with you!"
Qiao Wanyan slowly sat down on the prime minister's chair. "Transaction? What kind of transaction do you want to make with me?"
Xiao Zhao got to the point with one sentence, "Second Miss should have guessed that I would come to see you, right? You know the relationship between me and Li Hansong, and naturally you also know that Li Hansong is going to marry your cousin. Otherwise, you wouldn't have deliberately set up a meeting with me for your cousin's sake to lure me here, right?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled but said nothing.
Xiao Zhao said: "I don't want to stay with Li Hansong. As long as the Second Miss is willing to help me get away from Li Hansong and rescue my family, I will cooperate with the Second Miss and let people see with their own eyes that Li Hansong and I have a close relationship!"
Qiao Wanyan slowly picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea. Such a calm and indifferent reaction made Xiao Zhao feel a little uneasy.
He was afraid that she would not agree, afraid that she, a weak woman, had no say, afraid that the elders of the Qiao family would sacrifice their daughter's marriage for the sake of reputation and interests, and afraid that his trip would be in vain.
After a moment, Qiao Wanyan's clear voice rang out.
"How do you plan to let people see that you have a close relationship with Li Hansong?"
Xiao Zhao said, "I know that the Second Miss and Miss Chuxue have a very close relationship as sisters, and the Second Miss would definitely not want Miss Chuxue to have to swallow her anger after she marries him."
He paused after he finished speaking, "I will go to the Pear Garden with Li Hansong in three days, and I will do that kind of thing with him in the Youxiang Pavilion of the Pear Garden."
Xiao Zhao's ears turned red when he said this. He didn't dare to look at anyone. He lowered his head and said, "When the time comes, the second young lady can bring the elders of the Qiao family to catch the adulterer. After being humiliated in public, the elders of the Qiao family will definitely not agree to this marriage and will definitely stop the loss in time!"
Qiao Wanyan asked casually, "Don't you feel ashamed? Can you really do this?"
Xiao Zhao's eyes were firm. "I can do it! I just want to escape from Li Hansong's captivity, and I just want my family to be able to regain their status as good citizens and not be controlled by Li Hansong! As long as the Second Miss is willing to help me, I can do it!"
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of household registration matters, and the second young lady’s father is the Minister of Revenue.
As long as she is willing to ask the Minister of Revenue for help, her family will be able to escape from Li Hansong's control.
Qiao Wanyan let out a long breath, "Well, I'll wait for your good news in three days."
Xiao Zhao was overjoyed and kowtowed, "Thank you, Second Miss. Thank you, Second Miss!"
He knew that the Second Miss would definitely agree to this kind of deal that would benefit both parties!
He just thought too much and thought that things would not go smoothly.
In this way, his family was saved!
Qiao Wanyan stood up and walked in front of him. "I'll have someone send you out from the back door. Don't let Li Hansong get suspicious during this time. Whether you can succeed in three days depends on you."
Xiao Zhao swore, "Second Miss, rest assured, I will definitely accomplish this matter."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and walked around her to leave. Ziyuan said calmly, "Let's go. I'll take you out the back door."
At this time, Qiao Wanyan came back and stopped Xiao Zhao who was about to go back.
