Chapter 446: The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 15
Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes and listened to Duke Wen's chatter. She saw the teapot on the table, picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and put a pill that dissolved in water into the tea.
Aunt Qiao walked lightly to the side of Duke Wen, handed the cup to him and said, "How could a daughter blame her father? After all, we are father and daughter. How can there be any overnight hatred? Don't you think so, father?"
Duke Wen nodded and smiled with satisfaction, took the teacup and drank it all, and said with a sigh, "You are worthy of being my daughter. Now that we have talked it out, don't go back to the palace. I will arrange a new courtyard for you, and you can live here from now on."
Aunt Qiao coquettishly shook Duke Wen's arm and said, "Father, I still need to take care of the prince's health. This is what we agreed on before. Father, you don't want your daughter to be a treacherous person, right?"
"This..." Duke Wen stroked his beard. Now he was standing in the prince's camp. It would be a good idea to place Aunt Qiao in the Ghost King's Palace as a spy. "Since you insist on doing so, your father will not be too involved. But you have to come back to see your father often in the future."
Aunt Qiao patted her chest playfully and said, "Don't worry, father. As long as you treat me well, I will definitely be filial to you."
"Then my daughter will go back first. She has to go back to the association soon."
Duke Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Jinjin's back, muttering, "So what if she's an alchemist? She's still a fool. Who do you think she is? She's nothing more than this."
In the dark, Xiao Mohan glanced coldly at Duke Wen's arm and said to Changfeng, "Find a chance to destroy his arm."
Changfeng's mouth twitched. It was just that the princess touched Duke Wen's arm, but she was going to cripple his arm. This was too scary...
Changfeng shuddered and decided to keep a distance from the princess in the future.
Wen Yuezhi heard everything from behind the screen and came out reluctantly, "Father, you are too nice to her. She is just a piece of trash and a fool."
Duke Wen glanced at Wen Yuezhi with dissatisfaction and said, "If you had half of her ability, I wouldn't be so passive. The prince dislikes you now."
Speaking of Xiao Chengyang, Wen Yuezhi felt upset. "Father, these past two days, my daughter went to the Prince's Mansion to look for my brother, but he didn't even see her. He was obsessed with that jerk."
Duke Wen patted Wen Yuezhi's hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to endure this grievance for much longer. Your elder sister will be back soon, and then..."
Wen Yuezhi's eyes lit up. "Really? Big sister is coming back."
"My elder sister is the apprentice of a high-level alchemist of the Nanwu Kingdom. As long as my elder sister comes back, what will Qiao Jinjin, a mid-level alchemist, mean to us? She will be squashed and molded at our will."
After Xiao Mohan left, Changfeng heard everything the father and daughter said clearly, and his heart suddenly panicked.
"A senior alchemist from Namo Kingdom?" Xiao Mohan frowned after hearing Changfeng's words.
"I remember that there was only one high-level pharmacist in Nanwu Country, but he has been missing for ten years. How could he have an apprentice?"
Chang Feng curled his lips and said, "That's right, when I heard it just now, I just found it unbelievable. If there was a high-level pharmacist, your poison would have been cured long ago."
"But we don't have to be afraid. Even if there are high-level pharmacists, the princess is so powerful. In the hearts of our subordinates, no one is more capable than the princess."
Xiao Mohan agreed with this point. Among the ordinary pharmacists, which one could match Aunt Qiao in terms of the quality and quantity of the medicine she made? No one can compare to her to this day.
The pill that Jin Jin Qiao gave to Duke Wen took effect that night, and his Xuan Qi kept dropping until it dropped to the first orange level.
Duke Wen ran into the yard with disheveled hair and roared, "Hurry up and find Aunt Qiao and ask her to show me what's going on. My Xuan Qi, my Xuan Qi!"
"Your Highness, someone from the Duke's Mansion has come again, saying that Duke Wen is in trouble, and asked the princess to go back."
Xiao Mohan had just finished bathing, and the ends of his hair were still dripping with water. Upon hearing this, he used Xuan Qi to steam his hair dry and said in a slightly irritated tone, "Don't pay attention to it. Don't disturb Auntie's rest."
The Ghost King's Mansion rejected Duke Wen's request, which made Duke Wen very angry and he yelled, "Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter!"
The housekeeper trembled and comforted, "Master, maybe the third young lady doesn't know that you have something to ask her. Didn't the servants say it was the prince who refused, not the young lady?"
Duke Wen finally eased his anger and said, "You are right. Even that rebellious girl wouldn't dare to do that."
"When daybreak comes, we will continue to look for people in the palace. Nothing can happen to me. If others know that my ability has dropped to the orange level, our Duke's Mansion will be finished."
"This..." The housekeeper was also embarrassed. "Master, don't worry. We still have our ancestors."
"Shut up!" Duke Wen said sternly, "You dare to disturb our ancestors' seclusion?"
If the ancestors knew that his ability was so weak, they would definitely train a new head of the family.
Wen Yuezhi was rejected by the prince again that day. She was very angry and stood guard at the door of the Pharmacist Association.
After waiting for nearly three hours, I finally met Aunt Qiao who was walking out of the association at the door.
"Stop right there"
Wen Yuezhi's coquettish voice made Qiao Jinjin raise her eyebrows slightly, curl the corners of her mouth, and turn to look at the arrogant Wen Yuezhi.
"Are you calling me?"
Wen Yuezhi pointed at Qiao Jinjin and said, "Nonsense, your father sent someone to call you, why didn't you go home?"
Aunt Qiao blinked in confusion and said incredulously, "Did my father call me? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
"Don't pretend." Wen Yuezhi was annoyed by Qiao Jinjin's attitude. "Come back home with me now and see how father will deal with you."
Aunt Qiao's eyes turned red and she was about to cry.
"I've heard that the Duke's Mansion abused the Third Miss a long time ago. Now it seems to be true. Look, this has even threatened the Third Miss."
"That's right, I used to think Wen Yuezhi was pretty good, but now I see she's really arrogant."
"Shut up, you troublemakers, do you know who I am?" Wen Yuezhi listened to the whispers of the people around her and no longer controlled her temper.
The people around were not that afraid of Wen Yuezhi because they were in large numbers. "Bah, could it be that the Duke's Mansion killed us civilians in broad daylight?"
Seeing that the show was almost over, Aunt Qiao choked up and said, "Thank you all for helping me vent my anger. However, this is a family matter after all, and I must not let anyone else be implicated."
Some hot-blooded people immediately became dissatisfied and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Qiao. Even if the king of heaven comes, we have to talk about reason."
"You...you..." Wen Yuezhi was so angry that her whole body began to tremble. She glared at Qiao Jinjin fiercely and said, "Just wait for me, your father will not forgive you."
