Chapter 97: Are you waiting for me to catch you?
The door creaked open, and Qiao Wanyan and Zi Yuan shuddered at the same time, getting goose bumps all over their bodies.
After a long stalemate, he finally slowly turned his head and looked at He Yanli at the door.
The two of them gasped. He Yanli looked at Qiao Wanyan's pitiful appearance of guilt and trembling. He had no idea what she had done in the kitchen. Her cheek was stained with black dirt, and her clothes were visibly stained with black and gray, as if she had just fled from somewhere.
He Yanli supported the door frame with one hand and looked at Qiao Wanyan, who was a head shorter than him. "Why don't you run? Are you waiting for me to catch you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Wanyan pulled Ziyuan and ran away.
Yunyao, sister has done her best. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes.
You and I have known each other for less than half a year. Right now, I can only protect myself. You just wish me good luck.
At your funeral, Sister Ayan will definitely give you a grand funeral!
Mo Xiao said from behind: "My Lord, Miss Qiao is gone like this, what should we do with our kitchen?"
He Yanli turned around and said, "Will the kitchen be intact if she leaves it there? Are you waiting for her, the delicate girl who can't carry anything on her shoulders or hands and will be carried by others if she walks for a while, to build a kitchen for you?"
"Or do you want her to burn down my study as well?"
Mo Xiao was silent for a moment, thinking to himself that this was indeed the truth.
But Miss Qiao blew up the palace kitchen, so could she just let her go?
Mo Xiao's heart was in a mess. He always felt that the hatred in the prince's eyes when he mentioned Miss Qiao Er in Beiming City made his scalp tingle.
He always felt that after the prince returned to Beijing, Miss Qiao would be in trouble if she was not skinned alive.
But it has been a while since he returned to Beijing, and the prince has not even pulled out a single hair, let alone peeled off a layer of skin.
Could it be that he is planning a big revenge?
Or maybe, the hatred accumulated over time disappeared in an instant the moment he saw Miss Qiao Er when he returned to Beijing?
Mo Xiao looked at the back of his prince and thought secretly.
Yun Yao was released the next morning. She returned to the Shangshu Mansion feeling dirty and aggrieved. The servant at the door almost didn't recognize her and wanted to kick her out.
In Yongning Pavilion, Qiao Wanyan was having breakfast when she saw Yun Yao suddenly appear at the door.
The little girl stood at the door with a gloomy face, as if she had been subjected to inhuman torture. She no longer looked sunny and energetic.
"Sister Ayan." It was as if the grievances in my heart suddenly turned into tears and burst out as if I had seen my relatives.
"Sister A Yan, you are so kind. You can get me out even though I made such a big mistake. I will follow you for the rest of my life, woooooooooo..."
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a moment: "........"
ah?
She fished it out?
Qiao Wanyan stood up and walked over, saying in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. You followed me to the capital, so I will do my best to protect you. Even if it costs me my life, I will keep you safe."
Yun Yao blinked her eyes, and the next second she burst into tears, "Sister A Yan, you are so good, you are better than my brother, you are the best person in the world to me!"
Qiao Wanyan smiled lightly, "Okay, go back and take a shower and change clothes. I'll have someone prepare breakfast for you and send it to your room. After you eat, take a good rest."
Yun Yao nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
Qiao Wanyan didn't leave the house for several days. It was a rare occasion that she stayed in the house so obediently.
Seeing that tomorrow is the Emperor's Birthday, she has been in Yongning Pavilion these days choosing the clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow.
"Miss, the master asks you to go to the study." The maid outside the door reported respectfully.
Minister Qiao smiled when he saw his daughter coming and said, "Yanyan, I have done everything you asked me to do. The man called Sun Gui has been released from the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The prison officer who arrested people privately was put under pressure by the Earl of Pingyang and dared not to complain. He took the blame alone and was beheaded in public."
Qiao Wanyan didn't care about this. "Where is Sun Gui's sister?"
Since she has left Mingyue Tower, it would be better to let her work in the mansion and make osmanthus cake for herself. This way, she won't have to send someone out to buy it in the future.
Minister Qiao said with relief: "My little girl is so kindhearted, no matter who she marries in the future, she will be lucky to be married to that boy! Don't worry, my girl, it's rare for you to ask daddy for something, how can daddy not do it for you beautifully?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled, "Daddy, you are so kind. Where is she now? I'll ask Ziyuan to go find her."
Minister Qiao raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Why are you looking for her? Daddy has already sent her to the imperial kitchen in the palace. Doesn't she know a little bit about cooking? Daddy thought that if she works in the imperial kitchen, the monthly salary would be high and he could give her family some extra money. How about it, Daddy?"
Minister Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father has specially instructed the steward of the imperial kitchen to take good care of that girl. No one will bully her."
Qiao Wanyan's smile suddenly stopped, "Daddy."
"What's wrong, dear? No need to thank daddy. Daddy should do anything for you." Minister Qiao smiled with a face full of doting. How could he still look serious and majestic among his colleagues?
Qiao Wanyan said coldly: "Daddy, I want mother to find me another daddy!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Huh?" Minister Qiao looked confused. What happened to this girl?
On her way out of the study and back to Yongning Pavilion, Qiao Wanyan saw Qiao Yihuan who was just about to go out. During this period of time, she went to the princess's mansion every day and rarely stayed in the mansion.
"Sister." Qiao Yihuan took the initiative to greet her.
Qiao Wanyan didn't even look at her and left.
Qiao Yihuan took a step back to make way, looked back at her back with a slightly cold expression.
Xiaoying murmured softly, "Second Miss is such a jerk. You took the initiative to greet her but she went in and pretended not to hear you and deliberately gave you a cold look. She pretends to be so affectionate with her sisters outside, but she doesn't even pretend in the mansion."
Qiao Wanyan suddenly stopped, but did not look back. She just said something to Ziyuan beside her. Ziyuan nodded slightly, watched her young lady walk away about ten feet away, then turned around and caught up with the master and servant.
Qiao Yihuan is looking forward to tomorrow's Emperor's Birthday. Baozhu's ideas are very good, and with Qi Yun's help in preparing several hundred kilograms of ginger, she will definitely please the Emperor tomorrow.
By then, she would no longer be the unknown eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.
Just as she was immersed in anticipation, suddenly several maids blocked her way.
"What are you going to do?"
Zi Yuan walked up to her and raised her head slightly. "Miss, you are not good at disciplining your maid, so I will help you. At least let Xiao Ying know that it is not okay for a servant to criticize the master, whether in the Shangshu Mansion or elsewhere."
Several maids grabbed Xiaoying, and the other two stopped Qiao Yihuan who was about to stop them.
"What are you going to do to Xiaoying?" Qiao Yihuan asked anxiously.
Zi Yuan said coldly: "Young Miss is now worried. She never disciplined Xiaoying for her outspokenness. Now Xiaoying is being punished. This is all Young Miss's fault."
Zi Yuan paused after she finished speaking, "Or maybe, Xiaoying's words were what the young lady wanted to say but couldn't say out loud, so the young lady never scolded Xiaoying."
"You?!" Qiao Yihuan frowned, his chest heaving with anger.
Zi Yuan snorted, "Xiaoying has no manners to criticize the master, so you will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane. Take her away!"
