Chapter 366: Young Marquis Detoxifies
The only reason I went to Guo Temple was to meet the abbot Jingxin.
A maid was walking towards the ear room carrying a teapot. Qiao Wanyan glanced at her and seemed to remember something. She took Ziyuan's hand and stood up.
Xiaoying has been trapped in the ear room for a long time. During this period, she only has half a bowl of cold rice and a cup of colorless and tasteless water every day.
When the door opened, Xiaoying was lying on the ground and didn't even have the energy or mood to look at the person who didn't come in.
It wasn't until a shadow enveloped her that she raised her eyes and looked towards the person.
Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, her body trembling as she tried to hide backwards, as if she had seen some ferocious beast.
"Ah." Qiao Wanyan covered her lips with a handkerchief and sighed softly, "Why are you so scared? Are you afraid that I will kill you or skin you alive?"
Qiao Wanyan sighed softly, "Poor thing, I remember how high-spirited you were when you were with my elder sister. You looked at me as if I were your enemy. Why are you so timid now?"
Xiaoying lowered her head and said nothing.
She is an orphan and used to think that Miss Yihuan was everything to her. As long as Miss Yihuan could be happy, whatever she did would be worth it, because they grew up together and their friendship was even deeper than that of an ordinary master and servant.
But later......
The young lady from Zhuangzi fainted and didn't care about her life or death. She had been with the young lady for many years and knew that she was pretending to be faint.
She knew clearly that she was just a slave, but she still felt lost and disappointed.
Now that she was locked up and tortured by the second young lady, she felt that there was no point in living, but she was also afraid of death.
This feeling tortured her every day, and she was almost going crazy.
Qiao Wanyan squatted down and looked at the extremely thin Xiaoying, and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to leave here?"
Xiaoying said weakly, "You can't be so kind, what do you want me to do? To hurt the young lady?"
Qiao Wanyan lifted her chin through the handkerchief with her fingertips, "What else? Do you think I'm keeping you alive because I'm kind?"
Xiaoying remained silent. She knew the Second Miss's temperament and that her words were harsh, but now she didn't feel angry at all.
Maybe I'm used to it.
"I will let you go back to Qiao Yihuan, and you help me monitor her. You grew up together, she won't abandon you. When the time comes, I will grant you the status of a good citizen, and arrange for you to be the daughter of a wealthy man in Yongzhou, and ensure that you will live a life of wealth and glory."
Xiaoying's eyes moved slightly.
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "Is it better to die here without knowing why, or to live for yourself? Answer me tomorrow morning, and think about it carefully."
Xiaoying frowned. Live for yourself?
In Yongning Pavilion, Ziyuan couldn't help but ask, "Miss, Xiaoying is very devoted to Qiao Yihuan. What if we let her go and she doesn't help us?"
Qiao Wanyan looked at the various rare books on the bookshelf and carefully selected them. "Xiaoying has been in my hands for a long time, and I suddenly released her back to Qiao Yihuan. How could Qiao Yihuan really trust Xiaoying? I didn't expect her to find out any useful information."
Zi Yuan tilted her head while eating candied fruit, "Why did you let her go, young lady? It would be better to kill her to vent your anger."
Qiao Wanyan took a book off the shelf and looked back at her, "Xiaoying knows that Qiao Yihuan once abandoned her, but now he has returned to her. The rift can never be repaired. As time goes by, the gap between them will only get deeper."
What is the meaning of a broken mirror becoming round? How can a shattered jade return to its original state?
It's just deceiving yourself.
She only needed Xiaoying to betray Qiao Yihuan at the most critical moment. As the person closest to Qiao Yihuan, the words from her mouth were like a deadly scimitar that deprived Qiao Yihuan of his life.
For something that won't amount to anything great, it's best to recycle it; if it can't be recycled, there's no loss.
Zi Yuan couldn't understand or figure it out, "It would be too easy for her to just spare her life like this."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said nothing more.
Spare her life? How could that be possible? I'll just kill her after I'm done with her.
The next day, Xiaoying agreed and was sent to Ci'en Hall on the same day.
Qiao Yihuan was shocked when she saw Xiaoying being picked up and thrown into the house. She quickly helped Xiaoying up and let her sit on a chair.
"Xiaoying, what are you doing......"
Xiaoying's voice was still weak, "The Second Miss released me. She said that it was unlucky to keep me in Yongning Pavilion, and let me fend for myself. So I begged them to send me to the Miss."
Qiao Yihuan's expression paused slightly. Qiao Wanyan let her go?
How could it be? How could she be so kind?
A person with a vicious mind like her should have killed Xiaoying immediately, so why would she let her go? Before, she had thought about asking Xiaoying to help her find out the news about Qiao Wanyan in Yongning Pavilion!
Now, could it be that Qiao Wanyan used coercion and bribery to coerce Xiaoying to come to her side and monitor her?
"I'm glad you can come back to me. I will definitely protect you well in the future!" Qiao Yihuan hugged her.
Xiaoying raised the corner of her mouth, "Miss, you are still the best to me."
Qiao Yi laughed and said, "You and I grew up together. Although we are master and servant, we are more like sisters. We should support each other."
The two people hugged each other, but on their faces that the other person couldn't see, there was a defensiveness with smiles not reaching their eyes.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the dazzling light fell down. In the courtyard of the mansion, the maids were lazily busy with their own errands.
Yun Heng was busy all night last night to make the antidote, and hurried towards Yongning Pavilion.
Qiao Wanyan directly sent someone to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion to invite Jiang Qiyun to the mansion to taste the new tea. Jiang Qiyun was supposed to accompany his mother to the National Temple, but when he arrived at the door, he left his mother behind and ran to the Shangshufang Mansion, which made the Jing'an Marquis's wife curse and plan to have another son.
Under the dual gazes of Qiao Wanyan and Yun Heng, Jiang Qiyun tasted the bowl of dark brown tea.
Although the taste and color were not right, under Qiao Wanyan's expectant gaze, Jiang Qiyun drank the whole cup of "tea" in one gulp.
"Good, good tea!" Jiang Qiyun praised reluctantly, "Sister Wanyan's tea can be said to be the best tea in the world!"
With a bang, the man fell to the ground.
Yun Heng used twice the amount of medicine.
Because he felt that Jiang Qiyun's reactions were too obvious compared to Wan Yan's reactions, so the dosage of the medicine had to be increased.
We can’t let her continue to pester Wan Yan!
Even if it was because of the love poison, he didn't want to see it.
Qiao Wanyan wanted to see Jiang Qiyun's embarrassed look when he woke up and wanted to crawl into the ground, so she had him carried to the side room.
Yun Heng said gently, "Wan Yan, he won't bother you anymore. When he wakes up again, he will quarrel and ridicule you when he sees you, but don't worry, I will ask Yun Yao to secretly poison him and teach him a lesson for you."
Qiao Wanyan was not worried about these things. If Jiang Qiyun was cured, she would not be afraid of him licking his hands if she hit him.
