Chapter 271 If I don't kill you, I won't be named Jiang
Qiao Yihuan looked at his hand that was suspended in mid-air. Because he had clenched it so tightly, he shook it off with great force, and his fingertips turned slightly red, but it was hard to resist the pain in his heart.
I raised my head to look at the figure's back but my vision became increasingly blurred until the tears blurred my vision and I could not see clearly at all. A deep feeling of powerlessness completely surged into my heart, as if I were falling into an ice cellar.
He Zhiyu blocked her way in three or two steps. Looking at her face full of tears, his heart seemed to be suddenly dropped by a huge rock, splashing water everywhere and his mood was turbulent and could not calm down.
"Your Highness, what else do you want to say?" Qiao Wanyan raised her eyes and looked at him, the corners of her eyes were red, looking so pitiful.
"What else does Your Highness want me to suffer?"
He Zhiyu was eager to explain, "That's not what I meant."
Jing Yuan turned his head and glanced at his own prince. A superior bowing his head was something that should never happen in the royal family. But at this moment, His Highness was naturally in a low position.
I still remember that a year ago, His Highness was indifferent and cold towards Miss Qiao Er, and was even annoyed by her for disturbing the time that His Highness was alone with Miss Qiao Da.
But now, everything has changed.
Jingyuan glanced at Miss Qiao who was distraught in the distance. This was truly more exciting than a storybook.
Even a storybook couldn't write such a ridiculous plot.
Qiao Wanyan smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes. "I know that your highness loves and cherishes the eldest sister, and the whole capital knows it. No matter what happened, no matter how nice the words are, love will not change easily. For the sake of the one you love, what does it matter if outsiders suffer any grievances?"
"I am ignorant. It is normal to teach a maid who does not know her place. But I am wrong to teach the maid of the prince's beloved. I have brought shame upon myself."
After Qiao Wanyan finished speaking, she walked around He Zhiyu and left. He Zhiyu reached out to grab her shawl, but failed. He watched helplessly as the shawl passed through his hands and swayed slightly in the wind.
"Wan Yan!"
Lu Jinye blocked his way.
"It's easy for Your Highness to stop someone, but what is Your Highness's identity to stop her?"
"Crown prince? Or someone who feels guilty and wants to make amends?"
He Zhiyu looked at him with a sinister gaze, and Jing Yuan beside him scolded him, "How dare you speak so recklessly in front of His Highness?!"
Lu Jinye was not afraid at all. He just blatantly glanced at Xiaoying and then looked away. "It's really an eye-opener. A maidservant who has been disrespectful to her master repeatedly has been able to survive for so long. Who is being wronged in this Shangshu Mansion?"
"Young lady is very capable. When a maid offends her master, she only needs to pretend to be pitiful to save the maid. Otherwise, the other party will be ruthless and cruel. I really admire Young lady for her scheming."
Lu Jinye smiled after he finished speaking, "But that's true. With such a powerful backer, it's natural that he can act recklessly."
“I admire you.”
After Lu Jinye finished speaking, he turned and left. Jing Yuan wanted to stop him, but he saw He Zhiyu slightly raised his hand and stopped.
He Zhiyu watched Qiao Wanyan get on the carriage, and his deep eyes, hidden in the stars, never took their gaze away even after the carriage left.
The last time Donggong Xiaoying pushed her into the cold pool, she was the one who stopped her from selling Xiaoying out.
In Mingyue Tower, he was the one who learned the news about Yihuan and left alone, leaving her alone.
She didn't argue or make a fuss because she was extremely disappointed in herself.
Doesn't she want to like herself anymore?
Xiaoying sneered inwardly as she watched this scene. No matter what had happened between His Highness and the Young Lady in the past, she was now certain that the Young Lady always mattered more to His Highness than the Second Young Lady.
Otherwise, even if His Highness chased after her, he would not let the Second Miss go like that.
He would not know that the second young lady was wronged but still spared himself for the sake of the young lady.
As long as His Highness has the young lady in his heart, it won't matter if I annoy the Second Young Lady. This will also let the Second Young Lady know that no matter how hard she tries, she can't compare to a hair of the young lady.
It's a relief for the Second Miss, but it also helps her vent her anger!
Xiaoying frowned slightly at her young lady's face. What happened to her? Shouldn't she be happy that the second young lady left in such a pitiful and ridiculous way?
"Miss?" Xiaoying called softly.
Jiang Qiyun remained silent as he watched the scene in front of him. Now thinking carefully, he realized that he had indeed seen Xiaoying contradict Qiao Wanyan many times.
Even though Qiao Wanyan was domineering, she only ordered a slap in the face for Xiaoying's repeated disrespect and never really killed her or sold her out.
For a pampered young lady, dealing with a maid is easier than crushing an ant.
But she never really took it seriously, and Xiaoying was disrespectful many times but still lived well.
He had never thought of this before, but now that Lu Jinye mentioned it, he realized that Qiao Wanyan only looked domineering and arrogant on the surface, but had never done anything harmful to others.
So she has always been wronged because of his domineering appearance. Obviously, she is the one who is wronged, but strangely she becomes the one who is bullied.
He Zhiyu turned around.
Xiaoying was afraid of missing this great opportunity. "Your Highness, the Second Miss has always been like this. I just told the truth, but the Second Miss thought I was talking nonsense and making up stories about her. She dared to be so rude in front of Your Highness. You can imagine how much grievances my Miss has suffered when Your Highness is not around."
She only had one arm left, and she wanted to hold her mistress's arm, but her intact arm was unable to complete the action.
Xiaoying added, "Young lady has a home but cannot return. A few days ago, she was nearly killed by a poisonous snake because of the poison released by the young marquis. If young lady continues to stay here, I don't know how much suffering she will have to endure."
Jiang Qiyun frowned. He let a poisonous snake bite people?
Well, now that we’ve severed our relationship, you can bite me without restraint, right?
That’s how the slave Xiaoying used to bite Qiao Wanyan, right?!
"Xiaoying, if I don't kill you today, I won't be named Jiang!"
Xiaoying was so frightened by Jiang Qiyun's cold and sinister gaze that her legs trembled and she almost fell to the ground. She immediately shrank back and hid behind Qiao Yihuan, looking at him warily.
The young marquis, who has committed many evil deeds but has a little good reputation, can do anything, but she also told the truth. Now the young marquis is obviously angry and humiliated!
Qiao Yihuan gently held Xiaoying's hand and choked up, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoying. You are the person closest to me besides my mother. If you are gone, I will definitely not live alone."
After she finished speaking, she said to Jiang Qiyun, "Young Marquis, if you want to vent your anger, just kill me. Please spare Xiaoying's life. Although she is my maid, she is no different from my family."
Jiang Qiyun's eyes were deep and dark. Seeing her submitting like this, he suddenly understood how Qiao Wanyan felt.
She is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. If she is killed, many people will be implicated. Who can really attack her openly?
