Chapter 263 It is wrong to judge people by their appearance
"Wan, Wanyan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
If she hadn't been discovered, Qiao Chuxue would have been able to remain calm. But now that Qiao Wanyan knew about it, she felt a little uneasy.
He was afraid that Qiao Wanyan would run away, afraid that she would tell his uncle, and afraid that Yulang would lose his life.
Zhou Yu frowned, "How dare you say that about my parents. Is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion so unruly?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't take him seriously at all, making this impotent rage a joke that was ignored by others.
She sighed softly and looked around the house. "Although this place is located in the capital and is not remote, a fire a few years ago caused several families around to move away, so it is quiet here and will not be disturbed by others."
Qiao Wanyan looked at Qiao Chuxue and said, "You chose a good place."
Qiao Chuxue gritted her teeth and said, "Wanyan, don't blame me. I am willing to share Yu Lang with you because of the friendship between sisters. In the future, you will be Yu Lang's wife and I will be his concubine. This is also my compensation to you."
Qiao Wanyan chuckled, not out of anger, but out of stupidity.
Qiao Chuxue has been following the rules since she was a child and has always maintained the flawless demeanor of a noble lady. She is always considerate, attentive and thoughtful, and everyone praises her.
But now, all the pent-up emotions in my heart burst out, and I felt a big rebellion.
At this moment, she seemed to have completely lost her mind, and her eyes and heart were filled with that despicable thing.
At least for now, Qiao Wanyan feels that Qiao Chuxia is much stronger than Qiao Chuxue.
At least she has a better eye for men than she does.
Mother Zhou said, "Our Yu'er is a handsome man, and it's not an injustice for you to marry her. As long as you are obedient today, we will never treat you unfairly when you become our daughter-in-law in the future, and we will still treat you like a young lady."
There was always a slight smile on Qiao Wanyan's lips. She didn't feel any fear or retreat at all in the face of the current situation where the enemy was strong and she was weak. How could a wild beast show the slightest bit of defense against an ant?
"You are so stupid because you don't know what you are doing. In my eyes, your tricks are no different from courting your own destruction."
Just like Qiao Chuxue, although she was born into a wealthy family, her parents had limited abilities and never planned a good future for her.
Just let her learn knitting, needlework, chess, calligraphy and painting, and let her work hard to become a girl praised by everyone.
The value should be higher and higher, in the hope that one can be chosen by outstanding men in the future.
But women are born to work diligently and strive to improve themselves, not to be chosen or used by others.
There is nothing wrong with getting married. Marrying to get what you want is a choice, as I do. Marrying a good man and living a happy life with him is also a choice. They are just different pursuits.
But it’s a pity that Qiao Chuxue is ignorant and unaware. She is stupid, bad, and can’t judge people well, and she even brings harm to her family.
Qiao Wanyan's tone was light and light, with a faint smile that made people feel no warmth. Every word she said was like a knife cutting into people's hearts, revealing an unquestionable and compelling aura.
Shopkeeper Zhou said, "Yu'er, your mother and I will catch that ungrateful girl and pin her to the bed. You hurry up and do your job. If we succeed, our whole family can survive. Otherwise, we will have no way to survive!"
Qiao Chuxue frowned, glared at Qiao Wanyan fiercely, then turned around and left, intending to go out, not wanting to witness the jarring scene with her own eyes.
But as soon as the door opened, Qiao Chuxue saw a familiar figure outside the door.
Qiao Chuxue was so frightened that she took a few steps back, "Why are you here?"
Several people in the room also looked towards the door and saw a woman who looked familiar. They immediately rushed to the door and pulled her in to prevent her from running out and calling for help.
But my mind was thinking this, and before my legs could react, I saw Ziyuan walk in, close the door and bolt it.
"Why am I here? I've been waiting in the yard for a long time, but no one invited me in. You are so rude!"
Zhou Yu quickly asked Qiao Chuxue, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to trick Qiao Wanyan into coming alone? Why is this maid here too?"
Shopkeeper Zhou said, "It's okay. A maid can't do us any harm."
That little maidservant looks stupid and dumb, with chubby cheeks and looks silly. What can she do?
Qiao Chuxue took two steps back and said, "Yulang, Ziyuan is just a maid. She doesn't know any martial arts and hasn't done any work. So she's not very strong and not difficult to deal with. Tie her up and don't let her run away to inform my uncle and the others."
Shopkeeper Zhou patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and looked Zi Yuan up and down as he walked. "Yu'er, go and do your business. I'll take care of this girl."
Zi Yuan frowned, feeling unhappy with the middle-aged man's gaze. After taking a look at her young lady and getting instructions, she took out a dagger from her arms and swung it out before anyone could react.
It was so fast that everyone only saw a flash of silver light.
The people in the room were silent for a moment, and then they all looked at Manager Zhou's eyes at the same time.
The pain was not the first thing that came to his mind. His other, unharmed eye glanced sideways at the dagger stuck in his left eye. He opened his mouth to scream but something blocked his mouth and he could only groan in pain.
Qiao Chuxue was startled, and felt goose bumps all over her body. She staggered backwards, and only stopped when she bumped into the square table.
He supported himself on the table with one hand and covered his chest with the other, and almost fell down.
Zi Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Why is the dog barking? What if someone hears it?"
What a pity for her nice handkerchief.
This statement fits the current situation, but it sounds a bit weird coming from Zi Yuan's mouth.
How could such a harmless and cute little girl be so cruel and blind someone's eyes without even blinking?
Zhou Yu quickly pulled Shopkeeper Zhou over. Mother Zhou hugged Shopkeeper Zhou and her hands were shaking with fear. "Husband, are you okay?"
Shopkeeper Zhou's mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak, but Zi Yuan was kind enough to answer for him.
"He said you were talking nonsense. How could it not hurt if your eyes were poked out?"
Mother Zhou gritted her teeth and glared at her, but after meeting her gaze, she quickly looked away and dared not look at her.
Lu Jinye was in this room from beginning to end, but he was not downstairs, but on the horizontal pillar of the beam.
He sat on the beam, leaning against the pillar, with one leg raised, his left hand on his knee, and the other leg hanging down, and no one saw him.
Lu Jinye looked at Zi Yuan with half-closed eyes. The action she just made did not seem like something that someone who had never practiced martial arts could do.
Or to put it more precisely, they have been trained since childhood.
It's surprising.
He looks like a fool, but he is reliable at critical moments.
Lu Jinye withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on Qiao Wanyan again, sighing in his heart.
It is wrong to judge people by their appearance.
