Chapter 286: Being forced into a desperate situation, one will be in a state of panic
Qiao Wanyan felt relieved and went home first.
Jiang Qiyun slowed down when he went back. Qiao Wanyan was not in a hurry now and the carriage was stable, so she didn't say much. She just opened the door bored and spoke with a smile.
"Ah my, my father never killed Wu. Would your sister Yihuan be so angry if she knew this definite answer?"
Jiang Qiyun looked back at her and said nothing.
Why do you always talk about Qiao Yihuan to me?
Qiao Wanyan moved her body and sat beside him, looking at his profile and said, "What do you think would happen if Qiao Yihuan was not dead and knew this news when she was weak? Would her blood rushing to her heart and mind pass away all at once? If she was dead, what color coffin do you think would be good for her? How about I wear red at the funeral? Wouldn't a touch of red be particularly dazzling among the plain and elegant clothes?"
Jiang Qiyun said slowly: "You are a vase, what does a vase look bad in?"
Qiao Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with her hands covering her mouth. She raised her hand and pushed Jiang Qiyun's shoulder, smiling with curved eyebrows, "What nonsense! You have a mean mouth, but sometimes you are cute when you tell the truth."
Jiang Qiyun blinked his eyes, which were as clear as water, and turned his face away from her, but his cheeks turned red.
"What do you mean by cute? I'm a man, what does cuteness have to do with me?!"
Ziyuan: “….”
Both of them are praiseworthy...
Doctor Zhou worked all night to stop Qiao Yihuan's bleeding. The case was closed at the government office early in the morning and the prefect personally sent Minister Qiao back to his residence. This news reached Qiao Yihuan's ears as soon as she woke up.
Qiao Yihuan lay on the bed, looking at her bound wrists, and suddenly sneered.
A maid came in and said, "Miss Qiao, you are awake. Doctor Zhou asked someone to make some medicine and I brought it to you."
Qiao Yihuan tilted her head. Her face was sickly pale due to excessive blood loss. Her lips were completely bloodless. She looked so weak that she seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"His Royal Highness sent someone to deliver a thousand-year-old ginseng, saying it was for Miss Qiao's health. Imperial Doctor Zhou said that the ginseng would be delivered to the Shangshu Mansion later, because Miss Qiao would be returning today."
Qiao Yihuan propped herself up and tried to sit up, and the maid immediately came forward and helped her sit up.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" Qiao Yihuan held her hand, his face full of anticipation.
The maid looked at her expectant expression and found it difficult to speak. "No, no. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was busy with government affairs, and you had already woken up when he found out about you. So he sent someone to deliver the ginseng, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come in person."
Qiao Yihuan held her hand and slowly let it drop, a layer of loss covered his eyes, and he smiled bitterly.
"Did the Qiao family send someone to pick me up?"
The maid shook her head again. "I heard that Minister Qiao caught a cold in the government office last night and is now resting in the mansion and has asked for leave. Madam Qiao and Miss Qiao went to the prince's mansion to attend the prince's birthday banquet. It was the servants of the Qiao family who came and said that you should go back to the minister's mansion when you are better and can walk."
Qiao Yihuan had a gloomy look on his face. No one cared about him. He guessed that everyone in the capital was laughing at him and mocking him for making his own father sick.
Old fox, the government office must have closed the case because the officials protected each other.
My mother really died at the hands of my father, so how could he be acquitted?
Qiao Yihuan looked down at her wrist. She threatened to commit suicide but in the end she couldn't cause any harm to her father. Instead, she suffered and became a joke.
Since His Highness doesn't want to come to see me, I guess he feels that he has lost face because of his mischief, so he is unwilling to come, right?
Why did it turn out like this?
Didn’t the dream say that I didn’t have to do anything to become the most noble woman in the world?
Why did everything change?
It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this.
The dream was so clear that she saw Qiao Wanyan's miserable appearance and herself wearing gorgeous clothes and a phoenix crown.
But now, it is not me who is enjoying the glory...
"Miss Qiao, you just woke up, why don't you rest for a while before going back home in the evening?"
Qiao Yihuan said softly, "It's okay. Please help me get the clothes."
The maidservant couldn't bear to see her so weak and gentle, so she took the clothes and helped her put them on, then took a veil hat and put it on her, then personally helped her to the door.
"Miss Qiao, I can only take you so far. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."
Qiao Yihuan lifted her veil, raised a bitter smile, and turned to leave. However, when she turned around, she accidentally saw Li Hansong's figure, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
The maid watched Qiao Yihuan's back disappear from her sight before turning around to go into the mansion, but she saw a handkerchief on the ground, which should belong to Miss Qiao.
She immediately picked up the handkerchief and ran after him.
Li Hansong had been following her since she left Doctor Zhou's residence. Only when he was sure that she really didn't notice that he was following her did he quicken his pace to catch up with her.
"Is your injury better? You're really cruel to yourself."
Qiao Yihuan stopped and saw that the person who spoke was indeed Li Hansong.
She did not respond, but continued to walk forward. After walking three meters, she seemed to have thought of something, and did not turn at the corner where she was supposed to go to the Shangshu Mansion, but walked straight ahead towards the city gate.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Hansong followed her patiently, "You have become a joke now, an unfilial daughter who made her father so angry that he asked her to dig up her coffin. Before that, the emperor personally ordered her to be caned. People like you, don't even think about marrying me. Even if you marry a pork seller, they will dislike you."
Qiao Yihuan remained silent, but her heart was chilled to the bone.
She clearly had a distinguished background, and although she was not the eldest daughter in the family, she was the eldest daughter.
Although her father did not love her, she was loved, protected and cared for by the powerful.
But which step was it that went wrong?
The maidservant in Zhou Taiyi's mansion in the distance saw that Qiao Yihuan seemed to be talking to the man on horseback beside him, and did not dare to go forward to disturb him.
That person seems to be the son of General Zhongwu's family.
The maidservant followed silently behind, keeping a distance so as not to be noticed.
"But I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you agree to marry me, you will be my legal wife, and people will still address you as Madam Li in the future."
Qiao Yihuan still didn't say anything to him, and walked out of the city gate towards the west. Knowing that Li Hansong had not left and had been riding slowly and leisurely following him, he became more determined.
She remembered that there was a cliff when she walked out of the city gate and headed west.
Qiao Yihuan didn't dare to turn around to see if the maidservant behind her was catching up, but when she was leaving the city gate, she caught a glimpse of the maidservant out of the corner of her eye, with her handkerchief in her hand.
It doesn’t matter. Even if she didn’t catch up, she should have seen that Li Hansong was following her.
Since you saw it, you are a witness.
If I fall off the cliff, Li Hansong will definitely not be able to escape the consequences.
I won't die. How can Your Highness not feel sad when he sees me so pitiful?
What else can't you forgive yourself for?
The pretty face hidden under the veil showed a hint of morbid madness.
