Chapter 277 You're Not Lucky
Qiao Chuxue fell to the ground, lowered her head, and shook her head after a while. "I, I just said the truth."
This was a very unconvincing statement, but Qiao Chuxue refused to explain any further.
The person in front of her was clearly the prince, a prince who liked Qiao Yihuan and should have been disgusted with Qiao Wanyan. But for some reason, her sixth sense clearly told her that she must not tell anyone.
What the guard said must be a lie. How could the prince kill a noble lady from the capital like me without any reason or evidence?
What's more, the prince has always been famous throughout the world for his good reputation. He is an extremely friendly and gentle person and would never do such a cruel thing!
It must be that guard who wanted to lead me to say something I shouldn't say and deceive me.
It must be like this!
He Zhiyu stood up and left without saying a word.
Qiao Chuxue's heart was still hanging in the air. The prince had obviously not given any orders or said anything, but she just felt uneasy.
Under the current circumstances, it would be better for the prince to tell her directly and clearly how to deal with her, so that she can know her own fate.
Jing Yuan lowered his head slightly, and only raised his head and fixed his gaze on Qiao Chuxue after He Zhiyu left Changde Palace.
"You're not smart enough."
Qiao Chuxue didn't understand, "What? What do you mean?"
Jing Yuan said calmly, "You should have said it yourself, so you can suffer less."
He paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Or maybe you're just unlucky."
There should have been a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately I met His Highness.
People all say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and humble, and a compassionate person with a kind heart.
But the world does not know that the blood on His Highness' hands is as vast as the sea.
After Guo Licheng left, Qiao Wanyan went back into the house to take a rest.
As if she remembered something, she called Ziyuan over and asked, "Why hasn't anyone come back to reply?"
Zi Yuan said, "I just came back, but I didn't dare to tell you that Miss Guo was here. For some reason, the secret guards waited for a whole day and night but Miss Chuxue's carriage never passed by. No one saw it on the two roads, the official road and the side road."
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "How could it be? Qiao Chuxue was escorted to the car and sent to the countryside yesterday. How could she not have seen it?"
The place he was sent to was Qing'an County. There were only two roads leading to Qing'an County. How was it possible that he hadn't been seen for such a long time?
"Did the second wife not want to send her away and secretly took her back?"
Zi Yuan: "The secret guards felt something was wrong and followed the official and side roads back to the capital to investigate. They found the servant from the second house who escorted Miss Chu Xue out of the capital dead on the roadside. All the money on him was stolen. The secret guards suspected that he was robbed."
"First, all the money and valuables were taken away. Second, the wounds on the servants were extremely messy. They must have been done by a reckless man, not a well-trained person."
Qiao Wanyan's expression froze, "So, Qiao Chuxue is missing?"
Zi Yuan nodded: "I have been looking for her for a long time but have not found her. I guess those bandits may have seen that Miss Chu Xue is still pretty and snatched her away?"
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a moment. "Qiao Chuxue is such a talkative person. If she was really kidnapped by bandits and claimed to be the daughter of the Qiao family in order to survive, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Qiao family?"
If I had known this would happen, I should have dealt with her directly that night.
"Go find him. Make sure you find him."
"If they were really taken away by bandits, it doesn't matter whether they are alive or dead, just kill them all."
Zi Yuan nodded in response, "Yes, Miss. By the way, Miss, Xiaoying is still locked in the ear room, how to deal with her?"
Qiao Wanyan: "The bait is for big fish, let's keep it closed for now."
When Minister Qiao learned about what happened at the farm, he ordered Qiao Yihuan to be brought back to the mansion. He found a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for Qiao Yihuan and wanted to arrange for her to get married and leave the capital as soon as possible.
Qiao Yihuan was originally imprisoned on the manor on the pretext of recuperating from illness. Now she is pestered by Li Hansong every day and the prince and the young marquis both know that she is on the manor. For the sake of his reputation of being fair, he can no longer leave her on the manor to fend for herself.
When the people from the Shangshu Mansion rushed to the farm, they heard a noise inside.
"Who do you think you are? You've been left alone on the farm by the Qiao family to fend for yourself, and you still dare to act so high and mighty in front of me?"
"I want to marry you, but you are not happy about it! Your father has rejected this marriage, but as long as you are willing, your father can't do anything about it. What's wrong with me? Or do you still want to marry into the East Palace even if you are caned by the emperor in public?"
Li Hansong sat on a stone bench in the yard with an impatient look on his face. Why are these women so annoying?
Just because of these women, he hasn't seen Xiao Zhao for how many days?
Qiao Yihuan locked the door from the inside and didn't want to pay any attention to the scoundrel outside. Being told by such a person that he liked her and wanted to marry her made her feel extremely disgusted.
If Xiaoying were here, she would definitely go out bravely and scold the guy out.
But at this moment, she was the only one left in the huge manor.
Qiao Yihuan looked at the empty teapot, and all he could think about was what the prince had said to him that day.
A tear fell, and Qiao Yihuan closed her eyes, letting the tears flow more.
It seemed like her tears would never stop flowing. She had been crying for a long time. Her eyes were red and even a little swollen because she cried so hard.
Everything that I was once extremely confident in is now slowly moving away from me.
She clearly didn't do anything, but why did everyone gradually distance themselves from her?
Although His Highness still came to visit her, he was no longer the same as before, and she could feel it.
Between herself and Qiao Wanyan, she would gradually shift the balance towards Qiao Wanyan.
I love His Highness so much, how could I not feel that subtle change?
She could have married into the East Palace and lived with His Highness forever. She and Jiang Qiyun had a relationship like a brother and sister. The little devil who was envied by everyone was very close to her. She and the tenth princess got along well with each other like sisters...
But I don’t know when all these changed, and they were all taken away by Qiao Wanyan.
Outside the door, Manager Chen from the Shangshu Mansion came in person to pick up Qiao Yihuan.
"Why is Mr. Li here? My eldest daughter is still unmarried. It would be against the rules for Mr. Li to come here rashly."
Li Hansong knew this man, and stood up and said, "I am a warrior who doesn't understand those twists and turns. I only know that if I like someone, I should work hard to pursue him. Your eldest daughter was publicly scolded by the emperor, and I am afraid no one in the capital dares to marry her. If I ask to marry her, wouldn't it also relieve your master's worries?"
That little bitch Qiao Wanyan didn't issue a death order for me to ask Qiao Yihuan to marry me, and I went to ask for her but was rejected by Minister Qiao, which was a huge loss of face.
Now people are saying that Minister Qiao's family is strict and he loves his daughter, but I am young and reckless, and no one will dare to marry their daughter to someone like me in the future.
Since he has already lost face, it would be better to marry Qiao Yihuan home as a shield.
After much persuasion, Minister Qiao will finally realize that it is the right thing to do to agree to his request.
Who else but myself would dare to marry a daughter like this?
He just didn't believe that the prince would really marry such a woman as his princess. It would be shameful to take her as a concubine.
