Chapter 262 What should I call my sister? Why not call for help?
The next day, Qiao Chuxue sent someone to invite Qiao Wanyan to her house for a chat, saying that she would be leaving the capital the next day and wanted to have a meal with Qiao Wanyan to reminisce about the past and thank her for helping her cancel the engagement.
Qiao Wanyan agreed.
In the boudoir, Qiao Wanyan looked at the empty room and said, "I heard from Second Aunt that you are going to Lizhou. Lizhou is a good place. The scenery is beautiful and the people are simple. It is like a paradise. Second Uncle and Second Aunt love you very much."
Qiao Chuxue just smiled. Is she feeling sorry for herself?
If he loved me, how could he have the heart to send me to Lizhou, to the remote countryside?
Yulang is right, parents are not the most reliable people in the world.
"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I want to thank you for helping me cancel the marriage. Otherwise, if people knew that I lost my virginity before marriage, it would really bring trouble to my whole family."
Qiao Wanyan smiled but said nothing.
Qiao Chuxue continued, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm about to leave the capital. Let's go to Mingyue Tower for dinner tonight. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat the delicious food there anymore."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to my sister."
With Qiao Wanyan around, Qiao Qingren and his wife didn't stop them. When they walked out of the main gate, Qiao Chuxue suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Take my carriage. Your carriage is too conspicuous, I'm afraid of being noticed and gossiped about."
Now that she had become the topic of conversation outside, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
"Ziyuan, you should go back first. I will definitely send your young lady back safely when the time comes."
After Qiao Chuxue finished speaking, she was afraid that Qiao Wanyan would disagree, so she hurriedly said, "Wanyan, I want to have a private conversation between sisters. I don't have any maids with me, so you should let Ziyuan go back first. Otherwise, I don't know when we will meet again in the future."
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly and seemed a little hesitant. Qiao Chuxue quickly said, "Wanyan, I don't know who to tell many things in my heart. It's really inconvenient to let outsiders hear it."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly, "You go back first."
Zi Yuan agreed and watched the two get into the car before slowly heading towards the shop.
When the two arrived at Mingyue Tower, Qiao Chuxue ordered a pot of strong liquor, which was rare for her. She started drinking while complaining about her grievances, but she could only take a sip after saying ten sentences. Instead, she persuaded Qiao Wanyan to drink one glass after another.
Only after seeing Qiao Wanyan's cheeks slightly red and her eyes blurred with drunkenness did Qiao Chuxue let out a long sigh and sat there in silence for a long time.
Wanyan, don't blame me.
I just want to be happy in the future.
It's not an injustice for you to marry Yulang as his legal wife.
"Wanyan, you've had too much to drink, can I take you home?"
Qiao Wanyan blinked her beautiful eyes, and her eyes were sparkling and charming in her drunken state.
Qiao Chuxue felt a little jealous, but she knew that time was running out, so she helped her downstairs and into the carriage.
"Miss, are we going to the Shangshu Mansion first?"
Qiao Chuxue said, "Let's go to Changhua Shop. I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I have some things in Changhua Shop that I can pick up together."
The carriage stopped steadily at the back door of Chang Hua's shop. Qiao Chuxue opened the door from the inside and threw a bag of silver to the coachman. "Leave here immediately. Don't ask too many questions and don't tell my father and my mother."
The groom was stunned for a moment, "This..."
He secretly glanced at Qiao Wanyan, who was drunk and asleep in the carriage, and then looked at Qiao Chuxue.
"This money is enough for your family to squander for several years. You are a smart person and you should know what to do now."
The groom shook the purse in his hand, which was very heavy.
He immediately got off the carriage and left the place quickly.
Qiao Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and gently called Qiao Wanyan, then helped her out of the carriage.
In the room, Qiao Chuxue paced back and forth anxiously waiting for Zhou Yu to arrive.
Hearing footsteps at the door, he hurried to greet them, but he never expected that it was Yu Lang who came, but also his father, Manager Zhou of Yunjian Yansi, and a middle-aged woman.
She guessed that it must be Yulang's mother.
"Yulang, this is......"
Zhou Yu took her hand and said, "Let's go in and talk first."
A group of people entered the room, and Zhou Yu saw the woman on the bed at a glance. His eyes lit up and his Adam's apple rolled.
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "Miss Chuxue, for the future of both of you, today is too dangerous. In case of any accidents, Yu'er's mother and I came here specially to help."
Qiao Chuxue did not respond but leaned forward slightly and said respectfully: "Chuxue greets uncle and aunt."
Shopkeeper Zhou was slightly stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou's mother, smiled and said nothing.
Qiao Chuxue asked again: "Help? What can uncle and aunt do to help?"
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "If Qiao Wanyan wakes up and refuses to obey, wouldn't that be a disaster? Today's matter must be accomplished, otherwise you may not be able to be together in this life. His father and I can help to control Qiao Wanyan here. At least we have to get it done so that everyone can feel at ease."
They took such a risk, and if it didn't work, they would probably be thrown into jail!
If it succeeds, and they use it to coerce and bribe the Shangshu Mansion, then their Zhou family will be able to rise to prominence and become a phoenix. With such a gold nugget, they will be able to join the circle of the powerful in the capital!
It’s risky, but worth the risk!
This is an opportunity for their entire family, so naturally there can't be any mistakes.
Qiao Chuxue looked at Zhou Yu with some confusion, and Zhou Yu gently comforted her: "Chuxue, my father and mother are also doing this for our future. In their eyes, you are the only real daughter-in-law!"
Qiao Chuxue was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded, "Thank you uncle and aunt for valuing me so much, I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"
"He doesn't even show filial piety to his own parents, yet he's rushing to show filial piety to these two old beasts."
A mocking voice sounded, and several people immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
Qiao Chuxue was stunned, "Wan, Wanyan, are you awake?"
Qiao Wanyan sat up and glanced at the faces of several people. Look how kind she was. She came here in person to deal with a few lowly creatures. There was no one else in the world as kind and hardworking as her.
Qiao Wanyan stood up and looked at the interior of the house again. The walls were mottled and cracked, and the air was filled with a smell of damp and mold.
It was exactly what Qiao Chuxue had carefully prepared for her and her adulterer...
Torture chamber.
"Sister Wanyan..." Qiao Chuxue wanted to explain but didn't know how to start.
Qiao Wanyan smiled gently: "A family of lowly people who want to climb up the social ladder, a lowly thing who eats from the inside out."
"Why call me sister? You might as well call for help."
