Chapter 441 Father and Daughter
Qiao Wanyan slept soundly that night without any dreams.
When she was getting dressed and having breakfast and planning to return to Beijing, Qiao Yihuan had already returned.
Qiao Wanyan was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. She leaned lazily on the soft pillow in the carriage and read a book. After half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped.
Zi Yuan pushed the window open and looked outside, then opened the window. Qiao Wanyan happened to see the overturned carriage outside and Qiao Yihuan with messy hair.
Apparently she was inside the carriage when it overturned, and now that the carriage had not been tidied up yet she had no time to care about her image.
Most likely, he is in a hurry to return to Beijing.
"Wanyan?" Qiao Yihuan called her name as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Wanyan placed one hand on the window frame to support her chin, and said with an interested smile: "Why is Sister here? I thought you were in Jingxin's room."
Qiao Yihuan's expression changed slightly.
She added, "I forgot that Jingxin has been placed under house arrest by the Tianshu Camp guards. You can't see him."
Qiao Wanyan carefully admired the changing expression on Qiao Yihuan's face and smiled and said, "Sister, are you in a hurry to return to Beijing? Let me take you there."
Qiao Yihuan felt that she would not be so kind, but it would take a long time to pack up the carriage again, so she had to hurry back to Beijing.
Although I can't do much at the moment, I can at least go back to the capital to listen to the news and trends.
What's more, there is His Highness in the capital. Even if His Highness has a rift with me, he will not ignore me.
I am the female protagonist of the Heavenly Dao, and he is the male protagonist of the Heavenly Dao. He is destined to protect me and myself for the rest of my life!
Qiao Yihuan endured the humiliation and got on the carriage.
After returning to the capital, the coachman did not choose the nearest street, but chose one of the most prosperous streets in the capital.
Places with many people are always lively.
"I was just saying there was no such thing as a blessed girl who heard the will of heaven. It seems that she sold her body in exchange for Jingxin's good words in front of the emperor!"
"The daughter of the Qiao family has been restless for a while. I heard that Minister Qiao fell ill due to anger. How could she raise such an unfilial daughter?"
"What high monk of the national temple? What abbot of the national temple? I think he is just a demon monk! He dared to do such a thing in the main hall and dared not admit it. He is not even a high monk, not even a man!"
"The Qiao family is a family of scholars with a century-old foundation. How could such a disaster come out of it? It's really pitiful for the second Miss Qiao to have such a filthy eldest sister."
"I heard that although Qiao Yihuan is a concubine in the Qiao family, she is treated the same as the second young lady. Yet she is so unsatisfied and keeps causing trouble."
Qiao Wanyan tilted her head to look at Qiao Yihuan's second expression and said softly, "Sister, they are saying that you are cheap, which is really too much."
Qiao Yihuan's face became increasingly gloomy.
"You did it on purpose." She demanded through gritted teeth.
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly with an innocent look on her face, "Oh, sister, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I do this on purpose? You really make me so sad."
Qiao Yihuan hated her pretentiousness the most. Even though he was in so much pain, she became even worse. She was so vicious that she had no bottom line.
Qiao Wanyan looked hurt, "Sister, this is what you call intentional."
She opened the window of the carriage.
On the busy street, someone immediately saw her, and many people exclaimed and looked towards her.
Qiao Yihuan's face turned pale in an instant, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.
The coachman suddenly stopped and said loudly, "Miss, the carriage suddenly stopped moving. I don't know what's wrong. I have to take a look first. If you don't mind, can we walk back? We are not far from the Shangshu Mansion."
Qiao Wanyan said sympathetically, "Okay, then please take a closer look here, and I'll get someone to help you."
The groom kept saying, "Thank you, Miss."
Qiao Wanyan and her servant got off the carriage, but for the first time, more people looked at the eldest daughter of the Qiao family than at her.
Qiao Yihuan sat in the distance, not knowing whether she should get off the carriage and walk back or wait. If she stood up, she simply did not have the courage, but if she did not leave, she would still feel embarrassed.
After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Yihuan still didn't muster up the courage to get up and leave.
At that time, Qiao Wanyan had already moved away from the crowd.
In the private room on the top floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite, He Zhiyu stood by the window with his hands behind his back, just in time to see the whole scene.
Jing Yuan said: "Your Highness, this Second Miss is most likely doing this on purpose."
The county lady was left where she was, to endure the ridicule and mockery of the people.
The evil lady of disaster, the unfaithful wife, the evil monk meditating, and the filthy things in front of the Buddha...
Every word and every sentence can make the person so depressed that he can't even raise his head.
Jing Yuan carefully looked at his prince's expression, as if he was waiting for him to ask him to go downstairs to rescue the county lord.
But He Zhiyu just looked for a moment, then turned around, sat down, and asked someone to close the window.
After returning to the Shangshu Mansion, Lu Jinye lazily said at the door: "Chen Lingyi arranged someone to lead Lu Gousheng to find Qiao Yihuan."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Your Lu family is really full of talented people."
Lu Jinye's face changed instantly. "Who is his family? My name is Lu Jinye, and his name is Lu Gousheng. You can tell from our names that we are completely different people!"
Qiao Wanyan shrugged and said, "Why are you so anxious? I just said it casually. You can't take a joke, you are such a boring person."
Lu Jinye's breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't breathe out or go out, and he was choking.
In this world, only Qiao Wanyan can choke someone to death with just one sentence.
Qiao Wanyan did not go back to Yongning Pavilion directly, but went directly to Shangshu Qiao.
Minister Qiao was ill in bed. When Qiao Wanyan entered the room, he was not lying in bed looking sick. He was full of energy, holding a whip and chasing a little fox. I don't know how the little fox got here.
When he saw Qiao Wanyan, he immediately jumped up and threw himself into her arms, rubbing her shoulders obediently.
Qiao Wanyan touched it gently and said, "Daddy, what are you doing? You scared it."
Minister Qiao said with a straight face, "Do you like this stinky fox so much?"
The fox was given to him by King Jing. He found the fox an eyesore and hated it for no reason!
Qiao Wanyan sat down and said, "It's OK. The little thing is very well behaved. If it doesn't make me angry, I won't hate it."
Minister Qiao vented his dissatisfaction with a light snort, without even snorting loudly.
"You did it?"
Qiao Wanyan knew what he was talking about. They looked at each other and smiled. The answer was self-evident.
Minister Qiao took a sip of tea and asked, "Hate meditation?"
She said in a clear voice: "Daddy knows that I killed Abbot Zhiyuan. Jingxin wants to take revenge on me when he finds out. Naturally, I have to strike first."
Qiao Shangshu's expression changed slightly but it was full of pride and love.
"You did a great job, staying out of this matter cleanly and neatly. If my Yan Yan were an official, she would surely be able to reach the highest position among the officials."
Minister Qiao added: "Don't be careless when you have an advantage in the chess game, and pay attention to the opponent's next move. A chess player who is forced into a difficult situation will firmly grasp the last straw to save his life."
Qiao Wanyan's expression changed slightly, and she stood up and left.
After leaving the house, she said, "At night, let Xiaoying come to see me."
