Chapter 458 What is the Daughter of Heaven?
"You, why are you here?" Qiao Yihuan's heart was pounding with fear, but she tried hard to calm her panic. However, even so, her voice was still trembling.
The young maid pointed at Qiao Yihuan and said, "Look, Miss, I saw Miss acting sneaky. Now that the master is not at home, she must have bad intentions in coming to the study!"
The maid is not very old and has just come to the mansion not long ago.
It is known that the second young lady is the head of the household. It is said that the eldest young lady has been making trouble since she entered the house. She is a demon and seduces Jingxin to deceive the emperor.
Naturally, his status in the mansion is very poor.
In this case, why not take this opportunity to please the Second Miss and show off in front of her?
The scorching afternoon glow cast a stunningly beautiful light on her face. Qiao Wanyan looked at her with interest, a smile that she couldn't help but smile.
"Sister, isn't that the wrong question? I should be the one asking, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Yihuan shook her head. "Nothing. I just came to look for my father but forgot that he was going back to the old house today. I didn't find him so I planned to go back."
The maid immediately said, "That's not right, Miss. It was already a cup of tea ago when I saw you. How come you took so long to come out?"
Qiao Yihuan's face turned pale and he didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.
“I, I…”
When Qiao Wanyan entered the study, Qiao Yihuan was overwhelmed by her aura and subconsciously moved aside to make way for her.
The study was as quiet as usual, with a faint scent of sandalwood filling the air.
Qiao Wanyan glanced around and found that the study was not in a mess, and it did not look like someone had rummaged through it.
But a cup of tea is not a short time, and there is no guarantee that everything can be restored to normal.
Every step Qiao Wanyan took seemed to be stepping on Qiao Yihuan's heart. She was as stiff as a puppet, and she began to wonder whether Qiao Yihuan knew about her father's treason.
If they knew, Qiao Wanyan would be a sinner who betrayed Dayu just like her father!
Yanran said that in the novel, she became the Crown Princess while Qiao Wanyan had a miserable end. No matter how she was bullied and hurt, there were always many people who bullied her back.
On the eve of her becoming the Crown Princess, she tried to poison her, but with Yun Heng around, she remained safe.
When the truth was revealed, her father sent secret guards to take her back to Landu for temporary shelter, and then take her back to Beijing when the situation stabilized.
But Qiao Wanyan died on the road. Even with so many secret guards escorting her back to Landu, they were no match for Lu Jinye.
Qiao Wanyan did not return to Landu smoothly. She was not taken back to the capital until the situation stabilized, but was caught up by Lu Jinye halfway.
The reason why her father and Jin Shi did not meet with each other was not because of an accident on the way to rescue Qiao Wanyan, but because she returned to the Shangshu Mansion and told her father that Qiao Wanyan had an accident on the way, and her father ran out in panic, and she accidentally found evidence of her father's treason.
The emperor sentenced the Qiao family to death along with all nine generations of their clan.
Because she became the Crown Princess, she was spared punishment and was praised by the Emperor for her meritorious service.
At that time, Qiao Wanyan was being abused and was hanging on for her life, so he personally went to see his sister off so that she could die with her eyes closed, and let Lu Jinye give her an end and stop torturing her.
Although everything has changed now, if I can tell the emperor the evidence of my father's treason, I will definitely be caught with the protection of God.
But right now, the most important thing for me is to get through this situation first.
The most important thing is to be able to leave the Shangshu Mansion smoothly and meet the emperor.
Qiao Wanyan stopped and looked back at her, "What did you take?"
Qiao Yihuan's expression changed slightly, and Qiao Wanyan frowned to catch her subtle emotional fluctuation.
"I didn't take anything, what is your sister talking about?"
Qiao Wanyan said calmly, walked to a chair and slowly sat down, "Don't worry, we'll know if he's lying once we check it out."
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Yihuan was a little nervous and subconsciously took a step back.
Qiao Wanyan glanced at Ziyuan, and saw that Ziyuan nodded slightly and walked forward, waved her hand to call a few people and ordered, "Search."
Qiao Yihuan immediately struggled to run away, "How could you humiliate me like this? I am your sister after all, and you actually humiliated me in front of so many people!"
But no matter how hard she struggled, she was too weak to break free and escape from the four or five people.
Qiao Wanyan didn't look at her. She rested her elbow on the armrest with one hand supporting her chin, and with the other hand, she placed her index finger on the armrest and tapped it gently, one by one, in a very regular pattern.
She waited patiently until Ziyuan opened a piece of paper and handed it to her.
Qiao Wanyan took a glance and saw it was a marriage certificate.
The marriage certificate of Qiao Yihuan and Lu Gousheng.
Qiao Yihuan lowered her head and said, "I just don't want to marry Lu Gousheng. I want to destroy this marriage certificate. I am the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. How can I marry a man like that?"
She was unwilling in her heart and cried as she spoke.
Fortunately, in order to be cautious and not be noticed, the evidence was not taken out and the marriage certificate was used as a cover.
But she still didn't dare to look at Qiao Wanyan, for fear that she would see that she was guilty.
"That was a marriage granted by the Emperor. Since it was granted, it means that you two are a good match. Why, do you think the marriage granted by the Emperor is not good?"
How could Qiao Yihuan dare to respond?
Qiao Wanyan stood up and walked out of the study, and Qiao Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, as long as I find an opportunity to find the Second Prince and tell him about this matter, the plan will still go smoothly.
I am not a county lady and cannot enter the palace, and now His Highness is the regent. If I can't find the emperor, I will tell His Highness the Second Prince, and see how His Highness still likes a woman like Qiao Wanyan who helps the tyrant!
Even if Qiao Wanyan doesn't know, I have to make His Highness believe that Qiao Wanyan knows about it.
After walking down the stairs, Qiao Wanyan suddenly ordered, "Sister is going to get married soon. Since sister is so naughty, in order to avoid any mishaps in the marriage, sister is requested not to step out of Mingxiang Pavilion before getting married."
Qiao Yihuan was stunned, "You, you want to imprison me?!"
In this case, how can I go out to find His Highness?
Qiao Wanyan ignored her and looked at the maid who had come to her at the beginning. "Take a few people with you to serve Qiao Yihuan. If you let her leave Mingxiang Pavilion, I will kill you."
The maid immediately kowtowed and said, "I will follow the Second Young Lady's instructions and make sure she is satisfied!"
Qiao Wanyan walked away, and when she heard no sound from behind, she began to ponder over it.
He didn't continue to make a fuss about imprisoning her, probably because there was no accident and he was just going for the marriage certificate.
But even if there was something fishy going on, she couldn't cause any trouble while being trapped in the mansion.
What daughter of heaven? What do I mean by destined to be stepped on by her?
Now that she is so successful, she is going to marry a commoner who is humbled in every way.
If she wasn't unwilling to take the risk, she really wanted to hurt Qiao Yihuan again and see that fog with that terrible voice and ridicule it.
Qiao Yihuan was forcibly taken back to Mingxiang Pavilion.
