Chapter 299
He Baozhu was shocked. "Brother, Jiang Qiyun is the only son of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion after all. Don't be impulsive!"
Qiao Wanyan pulled down her hoodie to reveal half of her face, frowning slightly in dissatisfaction, "Jiang Qiyun, my hairpin fell off, and Brother Yanli wants to send me back, what are you going to do?"
If Qiao Wanyan didn't speak, Jiang Qiyun would have been fully confident enough to stop him.
But now that Qiao Wanyan has spoken, it would be a real joke if he continued to stay where he was and stop He Yanli from leaving.
He didn't understand. Qiao Wanyan had clearly abandoned He Yanli without mercy in the past, and later when He Yanli returned to Beijing, she deliberately avoided him and didn't get close to him. He could even clearly see that Qiao Wanyan's mind was on the prince.
But why now...
He didn't understand, he really didn't understand what the woman was thinking deep down.
He Yanli watched Jiang Qiyun turn sideways to make way and glance at him. The gaze that he quickly withdrew clearly contained a bit of disdain and provocation.
Jiang Qiyun saw it.
After walking out of Xu Yuan, Qiao Wanyan pulled down the hoodie that covered her entire face a little, revealing a pair of eyes looking at him, "There are so many guests in front, will it be bad if you carry me out like this?"
He Yanli's expression flashed with a hint of strangeness, "Are you afraid that people will see me holding you and tarnish your reputation? Qiao Wanyan, have you forgotten that it was you who just begged me to take you home?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned slightly and stretched out her hand to hit him on the mouth, "How dare you speak to me in a sarcastic tone?"
He Yanli stopped walking and was slightly stunned. He lowered his head and looked at her arrogant expression. The corners of his mouth raised a faint arc that could not help laughing, "Have you become more capable?"
Qiao Wanyan covered her face with her hoodie and said, "Send me back quickly!"
He Yanli felt as if she had returned to the past, when she was also so spoiled and willful, not caring at all about her image as a noble lady.
The front hall was still filled with delicious dishes, but the scene was a little weird. The table was still there, but none of the guests were there.
Not only that, he didn't even see a servant or maid.
The lanterns under the corridor swayed slightly in the breeze, and the shadows they cast on the ground looked particularly strange.
The entire front hall was empty and the silence was eerie.
Qiao Wanyan also noticed that there was no sound along the way. Even if these people were a little scared of He Yanli and didn't dare to speak, they wouldn't be so quiet.
I looked outside secretly through the gap, but there was no one in sight.
"Where are the guests in the front hall?"
He Yanli didn't answer her, "Who knows?"
At that time, all the guests were detained in the side rooms.
There were so many people that Mo Xiao was even kind enough to separate the men and women into two rooms to make sure that these people could not see the prince and the second lady at the moment.
Like the front hall, the long street that should have been bustling was also empty.
Even Qiao Jibai and Guo Licheng, who had not yet returned to the Prince's Mansion, were directly dispersed. Only the Southern Court Guards were left standing with their backs to the door on the long street.
He Yanli swaggered and carried Qiao Wanyan from the Prince's Mansion to the Shangshu Mansion. When the doorman of the Shangshu Mansion heard the kick on the door, he opened the door with a gloomy face and was about to curse, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Prince Jing, he immediately said politely: "Your Highness, how are you? I wonder why you are here?"
Wasn't Prince Jing still in Beijing? How did he suddenly appear at the door of the Shangshu Mansion?
"Back off." A clear female voice sounded.
The doorman immediately knew who the voice belonged to, and quickly made way for them, waiting for them to enter before closing the door.
How could it be the Second Miss? Why is Prince Jing holding the Second Miss?
He Yanli knew where Yongning Pavilion was, and he carried the person all the way to the large bed in the master's room of Yongning Pavilion. Before he could straighten up, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
He Yanli slowly turned his head towards the door and saw that it was Minister Qiao, who was supposed to be bedridden.
Behind him, there were a dozen attendants.
Judging from the gentle footsteps just now, I could tell without asking that those servants had some skills.
And it's not just a waste of mediocre skills.
"Your servant greets Prince Jing. I wonder why Prince Jing did not go to the palace to see the emperor immediately after returning to the capital, but came to my Shangshu Mansion instead. What advice do you have?"
Minister Qiao was polite in his words, but he did not bow. His expression when he looked at He Yanli was full of coldness.
He Yanli knew the reason for his impolite look this time, "Your precious daughter fainted in the prince's mansion. I happened to meet her when I was celebrating the birthday of Prince Xiling and brought her back. Minister Qiao, do you think I am meddling in your business?"
Minister Qiao obviously didn't believe what she said.
Qiao Wanyan took off her hoodie, her sight blocked by He Yanli's figure. She poked her head out and said, "Dad, this is what happened. My hairpin fell off, and it was Brother Yanli who brought me back."
Yanli, brother?
Minister Qiao was immediately furious, pointing at He Yanli's nose and scolding, "You bastard! What kind of magic potion did you feed my Yanyan?!"
He Yanli said calmly, "Minister Qiao has always been careful with his words and deeds, why is he committing an offense like this now?"
Minister Qiao frowned, "I am cautious in my words and actions in order to protect my wife and daughter for the rest of their lives, but please forgive me for offending you when it comes to my daughter's safety."
Qiao Wanyan got down from the ground and took the arm of Minister Qiao. Upon seeing this, the servants at the door immediately lowered their heads and dared not look at the second lady with her long hair scattered.
"Daddy, don't be like this. Brother Yanli didn't fool me. I asked him to take me home. Don't misunderstand, Daddy."
Minister Qiao's heart was bleeding. He always felt like his cabbages were being eaten by pigs.
His head was buzzing. Minister Qiao wanted to see some blood, but he was afraid that his daughter would be scared when seeing the blood, so his face turned red.
Outside the door, the voice of the doorman was heard.
"Master, someone from the palace said that the emperor summoned His Royal Highness Prince Jing to the palace immediately."
Minister Qiao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself before saying, "In that case, I will not keep Prince Jing."
He Yanli listened to the gnashing of teeth and looked at Qiao Wanyan with interest. This love Gu was really...
Now that the love insect loves me so much, why not let her experience the feeling of being abandoned?
Full of love but being trampled upon.
It’s not that I don’t want to retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
He Yanli strode away, looking at the boundless cloudless sky outside, and felt that God was truly wise.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?!" Minister Qiao suddenly exclaimed.
He Yanli's legs were one step faster than his brain, and he turned and rushed into Yongning Pavilion. Looking at Minister Qiao supporting Qiao Wanyan, his eyes were fixed on Qiao Wanyan.
With her back to the door, Qiao Wanyan said, "It's okay, my legs are just numb. Daddy, don't touch me, let me relax for a while."
He Yanli turned and left after hearing this.
whispering sound.
