Chapter 270 Why are you crying?
Qiao Wanyan got back to the point, "Sister, the matter between us is not over yet. Do you want to go to the government with me to discuss it, or do you want to kill yourself to prove your innocence?"
Qiao Yihuan caught sight of Xiaoying passing by the door from the corner of his eye and instantly swallowed back the words he was about to say.
She looked worried: "Wanyan, you and I are both daughters of the Qiao family. We should know that if such a thing gets out of hand, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Qiao family. You are younger than me and don't know how to take care of the family's reputation, but I can't help but remind you."
"I have never met Zhou Yu, let alone instigated him to hurt you. If you don't believe me today, I would rather die here. That way you can believe me and save the family's reputation!"
After saying this, he rushed towards the pillar in the distance.
"Yi Huan!"
A deep and magnetic voice sounded at the door.
Qiao Yihuan knew that He Zhiyu was far away. Knowing that he couldn't catch up to stop her, she stopped and turned around to bow politely.
Seeing He Zhiyu approaching, he rushed towards the pillar again.
But this time, Tsuru Chiyu stopped her.
He looked at Qiao Wanyan under the pavilion, then retracted his gaze and asked, "What is it that is worth you trying to kill yourself like this?"
Qiao Yihuan's body trembled gently like a willow, her eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks, looking so pitiful.
She covered her chest and choked up, "Wan Yan came here today and said that I had instigated the son of Yun Jian Yan Si to bully her, so she came to confront me."
He Zhiyu frowned and looked at Qiao Wanyan, "Yunjian Yan Si? Jingyuan, go and capture him."
Qiao Yihuan was slightly stunned. She hadn't even finished her words yet, so why did His Highness interrupt her to arrest someone?
"Your Highness?"
He Zhiyu said: "I believe this has nothing to do with you, but in order to clear your suspicion, I have to call the person over to confront him face to face and clear your name."
These words were meant to defend Qiao Yihuan, but they didn't sound like that was the real intention.
Qiao Yihuan: "Your Highness, do you really believe me?"
He Zhiyu nodded slightly but did not answer her.
Whether it is true or not, you can tell the difference by calling the person over.
Qiao Yihuan got the answer but felt uneasy because He Zhiyu kept looking towards Qiao Wanyan from time to time, and his eyes were cautious.
She felt uneasy. She had been so confident about the friendship and respect she had shown before, but now she began to feel unsure.
Qiao Yihuan grabbed He Zhiyu's sleeve, as if this was the only way to prove that she was different from other women.
Only she can be close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, only she can be close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and only she can receive special treatment from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but before he raised his hand, something heavy as if it weighed a thousand pounds flashed through his mind.
The hand that was raised was never raised again.
He Zhiyu looked at Qiao Wanyan, but the moment their eyes met, Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and looked at his sleeves, then looked away.
A hint of loss appeared on her jade-like face, which hurt many people's eyes.
Jiang Qiyun watched this scene coldly. There were tens of thousands of men in this world, but it was foolish for her to have such deep feelings for a man who didn't like her!
But in this state, she couldn't say the mocking words that were on the tip of her tongue.
A tear fell, Jiang Qiyun immediately took out the handkerchief in her arms, but before she walked over, she saw Lu Jinye wiping away her tears with his sleeve.
He Zhiyu's fingertips trembled slightly. He knew why she was crying but he didn't know why, and he couldn't say a word.
I left her alone to find Yihuan that day, she must have been disappointed and sad.
now.......
Jiang Qiyun was so angry, "Why are you crying?"
Qiao Wanyan bit her lower lip, her long raven-feather eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, hiding the mockery in her eyes.
"I didn't cry because there was sand in my eyes."
Qiao Yihuan clenched his fists tightly.
When Jingyuan came back, he did not bring the person everyone wanted to see.
"Your Highness, I have searched many places but could not find Zhou Yu. I heard from the neighbors that the Yunjian Yansi opened by the Zhou family never closes without reason, but it is very strange that it was not open today. He is missing, and I suspect he ran away."
He Zhiyu looked solemn. Since he ran away out of guilt, he must have really had bad intentions and tried to do something but was exposed.
He Zhiyu felt fortunate but also unfortunate.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Wanyan, but unfortunately, something bad happened to her.
Lu Jinye said: "Since we can't find the person, how do we explain the current deadlock?"
Xiaoying said angrily, "What dead end? You slander my young lady without any evidence! My young lady is already pitiful enough, being locked up in this farm to fend for herself, what else do you want? Do you want to force my young lady to death?!"
"In the past, we were given food, but now we are not giving her food and even her monthly allowance has been deducted. If we didn't have some savings and lived frugally, I'm afraid my young lady, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, would have starved to death!"
Xiaoying vented her anger, but it was all because the prince was here and wanted to win his mercy for her young lady.
Qiao Yihuan said, "Don't talk about it, Xiaoying. Since my father asked me to reflect on my mistakes here, he must have his reasons."
"Miss, you are just too kind. Which noble lady would suffer as much injustice as you do? Being wronged by your own sister?" Xiaoying said with concern.
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "As a maid, your mistress told you to shut up, but you continued to talk nonsense and make up stories about the master. You deserve to be beaten to death for being so outspoken."
"How dare you! I'm the lady's personal maid!"
Qiao Wanyan's tone remained calm: "You have offended me many times, but I have spared you many times because you are my eldest sister's close maid. Apart from anything else, just because you pushed me into trouble in the past, any family would have executed you directly."
"Wanyan!" Qiao Yihuan called out, "Wanyan, it's Xiaoying's fault. I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her."
Qiao Wanyan walked out of the pavilion, and a dazzling glow enveloped her body, like a holy light appearing, shocking her.
"My sister knows she is wrong but she always defends her. On the other hand, I am the bad guy because of the rebellion. I am the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, but I can't even deal with a maid who doesn't know the rules. This is what Xiaoying said, that my sister was wronged by me at home."
Qiao Wanyan suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with mist, and a tear fell.
"A maid pushed me into the water and nearly drowned me. In my sister's eyes, such a crime can be forgiven. My life is not even as good as that of a maid."
Qiao Wanyan's tone was soft and indifferent, but there was a barely perceptible sob in her voice.
"Forget it. Last time, I wanted to sell Xiaoying out in the East Palace but was blocked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can I talk about killing Xiaoying now?"
After Qiao Wanyan finished speaking, tears began to fall from her eyes drop by drop. For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had lost its color and was weeping.
"Ziyuan, let's go back."
He Zhiyu shook off Qiao Yihuan's hand that was clutching his sleeve and chased after him, "Wan Yan!"
