Chapter 45 I can make them grateful to me by spending a little money
The journey back to Beijing was safe and smooth. Seeing that they would arrive in the capital by evening, Qiao Wanyan was in no hurry to travel and directly stopped the carriage at the tea stall in front.
Qiao Wanyan glanced at Ziyuan and saw that Ziyuan immediately understood what she meant. She said loudly, "Everyone has been tired after walking all the way. Let's go over there and have a cup of tea and some cakes to rest. After that, we can go directly back to Beijing and have a good rest tonight."
Accompanying them were not only the maids and guards that Qiao Wanyan brought from the capital, but Old Jin was also worried and spent a lot of money to arrange for a number of guards with high martial arts skills to escort them back to the capital.
These guards are the famous "Xuanfeng" people in the martial arts world.
Everyone politely thanked Qiao Wanyan who had just gotten off the carriage, "Thank you, Miss."
In their eyes, there was no such thing as the eldest lady or the second lady. Since Mr. Jin paid to protect his granddaughter, they naturally thought that this person was the eldest lady.
"Young lady is kind-hearted and generous, worthy of being a noble lady in the capital. She is so generous and yet she doesn't act like a lady at all."
"That's right. I've been in the martial arts world for a long time and I always thought that those noble ladies from aristocratic families were arrogant and spoiled. Who would have thought that Miss Qiao is so kind and easy to talk to."
"It's not like we haven't been assigned the task of escorting someone before, but this is the first time I've seen someone so generous. The food and accommodation along the way are better than what I have at home."
"Fortunately, I didn't slack off and refuse this job, otherwise how could I have stayed in the private room of Fengtian Tower in Lincheng? It would cost ten taels of silver a night!"
Zi Yuan took out a set of teapot and teacups and placed them on the table that had been wiped again. She took the teapot inside and asked the boss to pour the tea into the teapot in her hand, then went back to pour a cup of tea for Qiao Wanyan.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip, taking in all the compliments.
It only costs a little money to make them extremely attentive and responsible on the journey and not dare to show any negligence.
Money is a good thing.
Power is what she desperately wants to pursue.
"Why are you pretending to be so rich?" Jiang Qiyun sat down sarcastically, took her teapot and poured himself a cup, drinking it all in one gulp to quench his thirst.
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyes and glanced at him, her graceful figure flowing with jade-like waves, "When did I pretend? I have nothing but beauty, family background, and money. Do I need to pretend for such a small sum of money?"
Jiang Qiyun twitched the corner of his mouth. How could this guy say such shameless words in such a calm, confident and serious tone?
However, he couldn't say anything to refute.
In terms of beauty, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital.
In terms of family background, the Minister of Revenue is the eldest son of a century-old family, and his only daughter is naturally of noble birth.
In terms of money, her mother is the only daughter of the imperial merchant of Dayu.
Qiao Wanyan continued slowly, "This little bit of money is just pretense in your eyes. The young Marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is really unpresentable and has never seen the world."
Jiang Qiyun: “….”
"Qiao Wanyan! You are just relying on the fact that I don't hit women. Otherwise, I would have beaten you to your knees and begged for mercy."
Qiao Wanyan looked at his annoyed expression. What the people in the capital feared most was that Jiang Qiyun, the little devil, would get angry. When they saw him getting angry, they all stayed away, fearing that they would be targeted and used as a punching bag.
But she was not afraid at all, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "But you look like a man who only knows how to beat women."
"When have I ever hit a woman? When have I ever touched a finger of yours while you were pissing me off to death?!"
Beating a woman is something only the most incompetent men can do. This is what his father taught him since he was a child, so he has always kept this sentence in mind over the years. He even thinks that other men are no good when he sees them bullying women.
Qiao Wanyan shrugged slightly and said nothing, allowing Jiang Qiyun to be furious.
Sometimes, silence is the greatest weapon.
When someone is so angry that he is jumping up and down, but you are calmly drinking your tea and watching them as if you are having fun, this will definitely make them even angrier.
It's like a heavy blow to cotton, which is extremely destructive to the mind.
"Are you mute? Speak!"
After Qiao Wanyan finished her tea, she stood up and walked towards the carriage. Jiang Qiyun followed her and said, "I'm talking to you. Is your mouth sick? Can't you speak anymore?"
Qiao Wanyan finally gave him a look and said, "You're so noisy."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
Jiang Qiyun stood there staring at the door of the carriage, wanting to... really want to chop the carriage into pieces.
But this was the prince's carriage, he didn't dare.
Qiao Yihuan did not get off the carriage and did not want to drink any tea. She just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He must be waiting for me at the city gate at this moment.
Xiaoying saw that she looked lonely and had been like this all the way. It must be because Qiao Wanyan bullied the young lady and the young lady felt extremely aggrieved.
She saw the two wounds on the shoulders with her own eyes. If someone saw it, not to mention the prince, even a poor scholar would be despised to death.
How could that bitch be so vicious?
He even deliberately injured her shoulder, leaving her speechless. If the prince knew about it, he would definitely show sympathy, but how many men would remain faithful after knowing it?
"Miss, did you hear that? Anyone who knows Qiao Wanyan will hate her and despise her. The young marquis is such a discerning person! When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets to know such a person, he will definitely feel even more sorry for you and avenge you!"
Qiao Yihuan looked depressed. "I never thought of competing with her, but she wanted to compete with me for the only prince I had. She was always unwilling to let me go and didn't give me any hope."
Xiaoying felt heartbroken.
Qiao Yihuan lowered her eyes and continued, "When she was friendly to me before, I thought about getting along with her and being good sisters with her. But that was all fake, she was deliberately putting on a show for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"She made me like this. If I can't find that miracle doctor, how am I going to survive in the future?"
Xiaoying immediately stepped forward and gently stroked her back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, miss. We will definitely find it! I will always be by your side and will always stand by your side!"
Even though one of her arms was cut off by King Jing, she is still alive. As long as she is alive, there is hope, and she can help the young lady!
Qiao Yihuan held her hand with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoying, you will help me, right? You will help me forever until I marry the prince, right?"
Xiaoying nodded seriously, "I will! But Miss, you sold the bracelet that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you in order to treat my injury. What will you do if His Royal Highness finds out when you return to Beijing?"
Qiao Yihuan said: "This is all worth it for you. You are the person closest to me. We will talk about the future later!"
Sooner or later, His Highness will find out that I sold His Highness' bracelet to pay for the medical treatment of my maidservant.
But how could he blame himself? He must have thought that he had no one to rely on in the Jin Mansion, and no one cared about the people around him, so he was forced to sell the bracelet to hire a doctor for Xiaoying.
The Jin family has treated him harshly, and Your Highness is heartbroken, so how could he blame them?
