Chapter 88 Wife Slave
In the Shangshu Mansion, Shangshu Qiao and Jin politely saw the prince off.
"Wanyan, His Highness personally sent you back, which shows that he really cares about you." Jin was happy. "Where's Qiao Yihuan? Didn't she leave with His Highness? Why didn't she come back?"
Minister Qiao knew about this. "Is it at the farm? I heard that the woman was sick, so she rushed back from the Pharmacist Valley to see her mother."
When Jin mentioned that woman, she felt unlucky and changed the subject, "Wanyan suffered a lot. When I first found out you were missing, I was so worried!"
Qiao Wanyan said, "Don't worry, mother. I'm back safe and sound. I was going to go to the manor, but when I was at the door, I heard Wu scolding me and mother. His Highness came back with me before I even entered the house."
When Minister Qiao heard this, his face changed.
Jin immediately glared at Minister Qiao, "This is the romantic debt you left behind before you married me! What did you promise me when we were in Yongzhou? You said you would only marry me in this life, and that I would be able to sit back and relax and marry into the Qiao family. Now, I'm being scolded, and my daughter is being scolded too."
Jin took Qiao Wanyan's hand and went to the backyard, not intending to continue paying attention to him, "Let's go, Yanyan, let's ignore your bad father!"
Qiao Wanyan turned her head and glanced at Minister Qiao, her eyes curved with a smile, and followed Jin with a helpless look on her face.
Minister Qiao shook his head helplessly and quickly chased after him, only apologizing without any explanation.
"It's all my husband's fault. Madam, please don't be angry. It will be terrible if you get angry and make yourself sick!"
Jin never stopped, but Minister Qiao didn't get angry at all.
As he watched his wife and daughter disappear from his sight, Minister Qiao instructed the steward beside him, "Since you don't want to save your dignity anymore, send her off."
The steward nodded and said, "I understand, Master, don't worry."
Minister Qiao asked again: "How is Mr. Xu?"
The steward replied: "Mr. Xu just caught a cold, it's nothing serious. The doctor said he will be fine if he takes a good rest."
After saying this, the steward looked at him cautiously and added, "This minor illness shouldn't have caused him to faint on the roadside, and he happened to be rescued by the young lady."
Minister Qiao frowned slightly, his expression deep and solemn.
"Send someone to wait on him carefully, but don't be too obvious. Master Xu is just one of my disciples, nothing more than that."
"Don't worry, sir. I will get it done."
The steward respectfully withdrew, and when he turned around, he saw the young lady coming back. He nodded slightly and greeted her, "The young lady is back."
"Manager Chen," Qiao Yihuan responded, then turned to Minister Qiao and said, "Father, I'm back."
Minister Qiao no longer had the loving and doting expression he had just shown to Qiao Wanyan. He said in a deep voice, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel until dinner time, then get up."
After saying this, he turned and left.
It was never made clear why she was kneeling.
Xiaoying was dissatisfied but didn't dare to say anything. Obviously, the young lady was also the master's daughter, but the master was so biased.
"Miss, you didn't do anything wrong. Why did the master ask you to kneel?"
A mocking smile appeared on Qiao Yihuan's lips. "Qiao Wanyan came back home crying, how could father not feel distressed? Mother is not here, so I will naturally be the one to be punished."
Xiaoying felt her heart clenched when she saw her lonely expression, and she wished she could bear all the grievances that the young lady had suffered.
A good person like the young lady should be held in the palm of everyone's hand.
This is all Qiao Wanyan's fault. If she had not been born, the master would have only had the young lady as a child, and he would certainly not treat the young lady so indifferently as he does now.
Qiao Yihuan knelt in the ancestral hall with a worried look on his face. All he could think about was how to remove the two scars on his shoulders since the pharmacist Gu Yunheng refused to give him the ointment to remove the scars.
She couldn't have any scars on her body, never!
Just looking at those two scars made her feel extremely disgusted, so she had to find another way.
The next morning, the visiting card from the Princess's Mansion was delivered to the Shangshu Mansion.
The tenth princess's biological mother was not favored during her lifetime, and she was a maidservant close to the queen who climbed up to her position, so the queen disliked this princess very much.
Now that he has returned to Beijing, he was not allowed to live in the palace, but was sent directly to the princess's mansion, so that out of sight, out of mind.
He Baozhu was very happy. She was almost suffocated by the numerous rules and regulations in the palace. Although the princess's mansion was not as luxurious as the palace, it was enough for her to be happy and comfortable.
The original owner's father was not available today, so he summoned her to the palace tomorrow to explain the whole story. Today, she summoned her "lifesaver" to the princess's mansion.
He Baozhu knew that the guest had arrived and took the initiative to greet him, "Yihuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced back and said, "Where's your sister? Why didn't she come with you?"
He Baozhu had invited two young ladies from the Shangshu Mansion, but now only the eldest young lady and her friend Liu Yanran came.
Qiao Yihuan said, "Wanyan was not feeling well this morning and it was inconvenient for her to come out, so Yanran and I came here. I thought that when she is feeling better, we will go together to apologize to the princess."
He Baozhu was a little disappointed. "So that's how it is. Well, what's the point of apologizing or not apologizing? You saved my life that day, and I want to thank you today."
She really wanted to see Yihuan's sister. She didn't have the chance to appreciate her carefully that day, which was really a pity.
She doesn't have any other hobbies, she just likes good-looking people, no matter if they are men or women. She is a simple and unpretentious face lover.
When he saw her crying at the gate of the manor yesterday, He Baozhu felt that his worldview had been refreshed.
Beauty is justice!
Qiao Yihuan smiled softly and said, "Princess, you are too polite. Anyone who encounters such a thing will help. Although I am a little scared of those assassins, I really can't just leave them alone."
Liu Yanran took her arm and said, "Yihuan is kind-hearted. She follows Lei Feng's example and does good deeds!"
He Baozhu's eyes fell on her, and after looking at her deeply, he withdrew his gaze calmly.
Learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds?
Where did Lei Feng come from in ancient times?
Could it be that this Liu Yanran is a modern person like me?
He Baozhu was shocked. Could it be such a coincidence? She was shocked enough to encounter such a bizarre thing as time travel, and now a fellow villager came?
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Yihuan looked at her and asked.
He Baozhu smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, it's so cold outside, let's go in and sit down."
She has heard the phrase "Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people" eight hundred times in modern times, but most of the people who cheat her when she goes out are the so-called "own people".
Although this Liu Yanran might be a modern person, there are all kinds of birds in the world, and she can't dig out Liu Yanran's heart to see whether it is black or white.
Since you don't understand each other, what if you get yourself into trouble if you have close contact with them rashly?
Or what if Liu Yanran is a stupid and bad person who ends up getting herself into trouble?
She is now dressed as a princess. Although she is an unpopular princess, she has enough food and drink.
She needs to be more cautious and plan more for herself.
