Chapter 431: My young lady has always been good at scheming against others.
"Go away!" Shen Lingyi shouted loudly, hiding behind him.
Qiao Wanyan smiled, and suddenly Chu Lu ran in front of her, "Second Miss, my young lady really has asthma, and is very sensitive to the hair of this kind of animal. If you continue to move forward, I'm afraid my young lady's asthma will flare up, and then you won't be able to escape responsibility!"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "What you said makes sense, but I asked Mingyue Tower to reserve this private room yesterday. Your young lady has entered without permission, you can't let me out, right?"
Chu Lu's mind raced, "If the Second Miss doesn't mind, then let's eat together. My Miss will pay for the meal today, so I'll consider it as treating the Second Miss to a meal."
Qiao Wanyan glanced at Shen Lingyi, watching her look at the fox in her arms warily, and pretended to be helpless, "Then let's do it this way, just think of it as less suffering, and grievance yourself to have a meal with your young lady."
After saying this, she handed the little fox in her arms to the maid behind her, and the maid immediately retreated.
Chu Lu quickly opened all the windows in the room, and Shen Lingyi calmed down before walking over with a dark face.
Qiao Wanyan said, "I've already carried the little fox out, why is Miss Chen still staring at me? Aren't you afraid that your eyes will pop out and scare me?"
Shen Lingyi lost her appetite, but when she thought about the fact that she would have to pay for her meal and leave to make room for her, she gave up the idea of getting up and leaving.
Qiao Wanyan guessed her mindset. People who grew up in small places tend to focus on the little benefits in front of them. So when they encounter someone setting up a trap, they will lose the big picture for the small one.
"In fact, there is not so much rift between you and me. It's just because of a pair of phoenix hairpins from Huibao Tower that we have a disagreement. Just like your brother said, there is no need for the younger generation to get involved in matters between the elders."
Shen Lingyi snorted coldly and said nothing.
Qiao Wanyan said casually in a light tone: "You and I didn't know each other at first. It was you who wanted to snatch the Shuangluan hairpin that I had my eyes on at the beginning, which led to so many things happening later. Ask yourself, did I take the initiative to cause trouble to you?"
Shen Lingyi looked at her, wanting to explain but unable to say anything.
Actually, she was indeed rude.
But after all, she was the granddaughter of the Prime Minister, and she was just the daughter of a Shangshu, so she should give in to her.
"So what? If you had given me the pair of phoenix hairpins, there wouldn't be so many problems later."
I said this without any confidence.
Qiao Wanyan sneered, "In fact, if you had said it nicely at the beginning, I would have given it to you. You look a lot like a cousin from my maternal grandparents' side, and she and I have a very good relationship, so I had a good impression of you when I first saw you. But unfortunately, there is no fate between us, so now I hate each other when I see each other."
Shen Lingyi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qiao Wanyan had a flawless face, with delicate makeup and an extremely aggressive beauty. When she was bare-faced and dressed in simple and elegant clothes, she had a warmth that made people subconsciously let down their guard.
So if Shen Lingyi looked at her helpless face and gentle tone, she couldn't say anything malicious.
It seemed that at the beginning, she had indeed gone too far.
"You have asthma. If you don't mind, I can ask Yun Heng to take a look at it for you."
Shen Lingyi froze, and after a long while she asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"
Qiao Wanyan picked up a piece of shrimp dumpling with chopsticks and said, "Although I don't get along with you, I don't think I'm a vicious person. How can we take life and death lightly?"
Shen Lingyi suddenly felt that she was too petty.
In terms of broad-mindedness, I am really not as good as her.
Qiao Wanyan also thought so at this moment, she was not as good as her.
For example, stupid.
Qiao Wanyan said softly, "I once had a cousin who died of asthma. I thought you were lying to me just now, I hope you won't blame me."
Shen Lingyi felt very upset, but she could let go of things easily and would not hold grudges over trivial matters. Even though she knew she had asthma, she was still willing to let the genius doctor Yun Heng treat her.
This feeling made her feel inferior.
Not in appearance, but in spirit.
Qiao Wanyan found it extremely funny as she looked at her slightly moved expression. People who grew up in small places were so simple-minded.
If she had any wits, she wouldn't have been so domineering as to snatch someone else's favorite hairpin as soon as she returned to Beijing.
Since his position is unstable and he is not familiar with the social relationships in Beijing, he can do evil to others openly. Naturally, he has no brains and can cheat them with just a few tricks. He can deceive them without leaving anything behind.
Outside the door, a maid came in and said, "Miss, the young marquis went to the mansion, looked around and didn't see you, so he went back."
As expected, Shen Lingyi's expression that was just moved disappeared in an instant.
Qiao Wanyan didn't look at her, but sneered, "It's really disgusting. Next time he comes, tell him that my elder sister is not at home now. Tell him not to use me to see my elder sister, and go to Huasheng Temple to find someone."
The maid nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Shen Lingyi was confused, "What do you mean by that?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything. "It doesn't mean anything."
After the meal, Shen Lingyi didn't ask. Seeing Qiao Wanyan leave like that, she was even more anxious and wanted to know what she meant by what she just said.
What does it mean to use her to meet her eldest sister?
"Chu Lu, go check what's going on between the young marquis and the Qiao sisters?"
Chu Lu said, "Miss, I followed you back to the capital and chatted with the servants in the mansion. This young marquis used to protect and favor Qiao Yihuan. He once threatened that anyone who bullied Qiao Yihuan would be against him. On the contrary, he had a bad relationship with Qiao Wanyan. Some people saw them quarreling. But no one dared to approach. I don't know what the quarrel was about."
Shen Lingyi frowned: "But when we returned to Beijing, the young marquis treated Qiao Wanyan very differently. Qiao Wanyan just said that she would borrow her to find her elder sister. What does this mean?"
Chu Lu was silent for a moment: "Could it be that the young marquis had annoyed Qiao Yihuan and Qiao Yihuan ignored him, so the young marquis deliberately approached Qiao Wanyan to make Qiao Yihuan jealous?"
Shen Lingyi's face was gloomy. "No matter what, many people knew that the young marquis had favored Qiao Yihuan in the past, even my brother knew it. How could he be worthy of such a lowly concubine's daughter?!"
Shen Lingyi went downstairs with anger in her heart. When Chu Lu went to pay the money, Shen Lingyi stood there waiting for a while, and then she heard someone arguing in the corner of the lobby on the first floor.
Hearing Qiao Yihuan's name, she looked towards the source of the voice.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to me? Do you know who I am? I am the future husband of the Princess of Changle County!"
"Asking you to pour tea for me is giving you face. Do you understand the rules?"
The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "You? The future husband of the Princess of Changle County? You're drunk so early in the morning, aren't you?"
The man yelled, "Bullshit! You've just drunk too much! I saved the life of the Princess of Changle below the cliff. The Princess will repay me with her body!"
Shen Lingyi narrowed her eyes.
She heard that Qiao Yihuan was once forced to jump off a cliff by the son of a general.
Shen Lingyi sneered, and when she saw Chu Lu coming over, she whispered an order in her ear.
A low-key carriage without a lantern was parked opposite the entrance of Mingyue Tower. Inside the carriage, Qiao Wanyan, wearing a veiled hat, watched Shen Lingyi's actions with an indifferent expression.
Such a good chess piece should be given to Shen Lingyi to play chess.
