Chapter 284 Is it really necessary to be so arrogant?
Jiang Qiyun is a restless person, and this is his first time driving a horse-drawn carriage.
When riding a horse, the horse's hooves are very fast and the horse is as fast as an arrow, but at this moment, driving the carriage is surprisingly stable.
Qiao Wanyan pushed open the window, placed one hand on the window frame to support her chin, and looked at the passers-by outside who were looking at the carriage in surprise as they passed by. Finally, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you wasting my time on purpose? People walking outside are faster than the carriages. Are you feeling itchy?!"
The first few words Qiao Wanyan uttered were relatively calm, but as she spoke further on, her tone became louder and louder, and she completely lost her patience.
Jiang Qiyun opened the car door and looked at Qiao Wanyan who was impatient inside. "I'm just worried that the carriage will be bumpy if it goes too fast. You don't understand my good intentions at all!"
Ziyuan pursed her lips and started arguing again.
She figured that the young lady would not be patient enough to call back next time, so she closed her eyes and silently counted to three in her heart.
As a result, just after she counted to one, she heard a crisp sound. Zi Yuan opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Qiyun, covered her face with her hands, and sighed inwardly.
Those who know him know that the young marquis is a playboy and not one who would easily give in. Those who don't know him would think that the young marquis likes to be slapped in the face by the young lady and is deliberately trying to anger her.
"You are the one who got rid of my groom. Don't think I don't know. Go to Patrol Huishan quickly. If you are so slow again, I will beat you to death today!"
Qiao Wanyan pointed at Jiang Qiyun's nose and cursed angrily, like a domineering and arrogant young lady.
Jiang Qiyun's breathing was heavy and his chest was heaving. He stared at Qiao Wanyan for a moment and then slammed the car door.
He hit the horse's butt with the reins in his hand and the horse pulled the cart faster. Jiang Qiyun gently rubbed the cheek that had just been hit and put his hand down. He raised his chin and a very puzzling arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When the carriage stopped at the foot of Xunhui Mountain, Jiang Qiyun saw a group of people digging something in the distance.
Standing on the carriage, Qiao Wanyan saw her father talking to the prefect in the crowd. She was about to step on the horse stool to get off the carriage, but there was no sign of the stool.
Jiang Qiyun reached out and directly pinched her waist and carried her down, saying unhappily: "The horse stool was not placed properly and I don't know when it fell down. Don't thank me."
Qiao Wanyan landed steadily on the ground and rolled her eyes at him, "You got a huge advantage by carrying me down. Have you said thank you to me yet?"
"Hey you?" Jiang Qiyun was quite surprised that she would say such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was very consistent with her personality.
Looking at Qiao Wanyan's leaving back, Jiang Qiyun snorted and followed her.
"Yanyan? How did you get here?" Minister Qiao looked at his daughter in surprise. She shouldn't have been here and suddenly appeared, blocking her from seeing the coffin that was being dug out.
Qiao Wanyan said softly, "Dad knows. I'm worried about you."
Minister Qiao couldn't help but smile, his heart softened, he pretended to be helpless and sighed loudly, "Look at my daughter, she just felt sorry for me and cared about me, she came here despite the bumpy road. She has been filial since she was young, but daughters are more careful than sons, those of you who have daughters can understand my feelings."
Prefect: “….”
Everyone: “…”
Is it necessary to be so cocky and show off?
The prefect thought of his daughter who was always making trouble, and his anger rose rapidly.
Along with this, there is also endless envy, jealousy and hatred.
Look at that person’s daughter, she is as pretty as a porcelain doll and she is so filial.
Could it be that Old Qiao was an ascetic monk who did all kinds of good deeds in his previous life?
Minister Qiao raised his chin slightly and enjoyed everyone's envy (jealousy). He showed off for a long time before he noticed Jiang Qiyun, whom he had not seen just now.
"The Jiang family kid is here too?"
Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly, "Father...Uncle Qiao and Qiao Wanyan are both kind-hearted and filial. It's really enviable."
Minister Qiao smiled and said, "You are still young. When you have a daughter in the future, you will also experience this. I remember that I didn't see you when I came here. What are you doing..."
Jiang Qiyun explained, "I happened to meet Qiao Wanyan on her way to visit Huishan, and her groom suddenly felt sick. I had nothing else to do, so I rode her here."
"Thank you for making this trip. Our Yanyan is popular and has many friends when she goes out."
Jiang Qiyun felt uncomfortable when hearing the word "friend", especially since Minister Qiao emphasized these two words.
"Uncle, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."
The prefect felt that the young marquis was a little strange at the moment. As a mischievous little devil known to everyone in the capital, he was a frequent visitor to the government office.
When someone reported him to the government office, he went there and beat the person who brought the case half to death in front of him. He then pretended that he was busy and didn't see it.
After beating someone up, he had to politely send him out to avoid being put in a sack and beaten in the middle of the night. He was even more afraid that Jing'an would come to his government office for "tea".
Why does this humble and polite attitude towards elders seem so strange now?
Is this definitely the same person as the young marquis who acted so recklessly in front of him?
"It's been dug out!" Following a clear voice from the yamen runner, everyone looked towards the coffin.
Qiao Wanyan grabbed Minister Qiao's sleeve and stretched her head out to look, but was secretly pulled back by Jiang Qiyun, "What are you looking at, a little girl? Aren't you afraid that you will have nightmares at night after seeing the coffin?"
Minister Qiao turned his head and looked at Jiang Qiyun. Jiang Qiyun felt a huge pressure and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He wiped it and explained, "It's a little hot."
Qiao Wanyan shook off his hand that was grabbing her sleeve, "What's so scary about a coffin? You're not a man to make such a fuss!"
The coffin was carried out by the yamen runners, and when it was pried open, a strong smell emanated from inside.
Qiao Wanyan took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth with it, and took a few steps back. "Go and take a look at what's inside."
Jiang Qiyun was confused. "I am not your servant, am I? You order me around like this? Don't you have a maid with you?"
Qiao Wanyan said bluntly: "I think what you said just now is very right. Why would a little girl step forward? Ziyuan is also a little girl, so naturally she can't step forward. The young marquis is extremely brave, so he is not afraid, right?"
Jiang Qiyun snorted, "Of course! Just wait, I'll go take a look and come back to tell you who is in the coffin."
What if he couldn't understand the hidden meaning of Qiao Wanyan's words? Wasn't it because he was disgusted by the strong smell inside the coffin that he changed his mind and didn't go forward?
However, if she was willing to put in the effort to beg me, it was not impossible for me to agree to her lie.
After all, he is a man and a gentleman!
It is our duty to take care of the elderly, the weak, women and children.
