Chapter 369: Support from Uncles
Song Ci stood up, her eyes sparkling. "Of course we have to meet her. Let's hear what she wants to say."
Qiao Yun was feeling uneasy in the reception room, holding onto the hem of her skirt tightly.
No one cared about her yesterday, but she was terrified.
Zhen'er died at any moment, and she was still Madam Pei's trusted maid. She missed me, but in Madam Pei's eyes, I was probably not even as good as Zhen'er. Moreover, the plan had failed, and Madam Pei was furious. If this anger was involved with her, it would be more trouble than good.
She couldn't sleep all night last night, thinking hard and finally decided to resign.
The sound of footsteps interrupted her thoughts. Qiao Yun looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes. The hairpin on her head had a tassel hanging down from it. Each tassel was inlaid with a dazzling ruby, which swayed brightly as she walked.
The beauty of Song Dynasty porcelain is very intuitive, which Qiao Yun cannot deny.
She seems even more beautiful now.
She has become more fierce and sharp, not as kind as she used to be when she was a young lady in the Song family.
Song Ci sat down and the maid brought her tea silently. She just held the tea leisurely without saying a word.
After waiting for a long time, Qiao Yun could no longer wait and could only speak first, "Sister Song, I..."
Tian'er: "How dare you! Miss Qiao Yun, you should just address her as Young Madam. If you're being so rude, it'll make you a laughing stock if the news gets out."
Qiao Yun was annoyed at being interrupted, but he knew that he couldn't lose his temper now, so he could only continue to be patient.
Qiao Yun: "Young Madam. I've been disturbing the Pei family for a while. I think it's time to go back. Otherwise, my father and mother will be worried."
Song Ci changed the subject, "Are you not having a good time living at the Pei family, or are you being poorly treated?"
Qiao Yun shook his head, "No, the Pei family treats me very well."
Song Ci pulled the corner of her mouth, "If it's so good, then why do you want to leave? Back then, you tried every possible means to come to the Pei family, and I agreed. Now, after just a few days, you want to leave again. I say, you should just stay here and feel at ease. If you need anything, just find someone to tell me."
Qiao Yun was anxious, "I said I want to leave, this is not my home."
Song Ci retorted, "You know it's not your home, right? But I see you're feeling quite comfortable here, wearing the fabrics I gave you, eating delicious food, wearing the jewelry I gave you, and even having Madam Pei to keep you company. Isn't this the life you've always dreamed of?"
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it seemed to stir up a huge wave in Qiao Yun's already nervous and fragile heart.
Qiao Yun didn't care about being reserved. She stood up hurriedly and said in a sharp voice, "You want to trap me, do you want to trap me, Song Ci? Don't even think about it. I want to leave here, otherwise my father and my mother will not let you go."
"Really?" Song Ci stroked the hair by her ear. "Why won't you let me go? You begged to come to the Pei family in the first place, and everyone saw it. I think it's understandable that you like the Pei family and don't want to leave. No one will think too much of it."
After hearing these words, Qiao Yun was almost going crazy.
She now began to regret extremely why she came to the Pei family and got involved in this mess!
But Qiao Yun hated Song Ci even more! Why couldn't Song Ci just sit there and be framed? Why did she have to make such a scene and make Madam Pei hate her? Otherwise, with Madam Pei's promise, she could have married into a wealthy family!
It was all Song Ci's fault. Why wouldn't she help me?
"You're crazy! I'm going to tell everyone in the Song family, tell your mother, your father, your brother, and Qiao Yu and the others what a horrible person you are! You're so vicious!"
Song Ci's eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing a faint blue light. "Do you think they will believe you or me?"
Qiao Yun was stunned, and then he became even more furious, mad and crazy.
Come to think of it, who would trust her instead of Song Ci, who has always been well-behaved, sensible, gentle and kind?
The impending unknown fear drove Qiao Yun completely crazy.
Song Ci was too lazy to watch her frantic appearance and waved her hand, saying, "Have someone carry her back to the courtyard and tell everyone that she's not feeling well and needs to rest for a few days. Don't let her go out."
Tian'er and Wanxiang agreed, but they didn't feel that Song Ci was vicious at all, they just felt very happy.
This is what Qiao Yun deserved.
After much thought, Song Ci still felt that she should tell her uncles about this matter, as Qiao Yun was still a member of the Qiao family.
She said something to Pei Ji, left Pei's house and went to the Song family.
Song Ci came back suddenly. Qiao Xianglan thought something had happened to her and her face changed suddenly with fright.
Song Ci: "Mother, I'm fine."
Qiao Xianglan: "You came back so suddenly, I thought you had a fight with your uncle."
Song Ci smiled slightly, "He is very good to me, mother. But there is something I need to inform my two uncles about today."
Qiao Xianglan nodded and quickly sent someone to invite the two masters of the Qiao family.
They won the title of imperial merchant, and the Qiao family's assets began to move from their original location to Beijing. The two of them have been very busy recently, and they also have to find a house in Beijing so that they will have a place to stay after everyone arrives.
But with so many people, it’s not easy to find the house in a short time. Mr. Qiao is in charge of this matter and has been running around a lot recently.
When they heard that Song Ci had returned and said that he had something to discuss with them, they came without saying a word.
Uncle Qiao: "Xiaoci, what happened?"
Mr. Qiao was more direct. "Did the Pei family bully you? It doesn't matter. We are all here. If they dare to bully you, we will go to their house and make trouble."
Song Ci was at a loss for words at this point, wondering what was going on in her two uncles' minds. Then she felt a little touched.
This is family. Even though they know that the Pei family is unfathomable, they are still willing to take risks for Song Ci.
Song Ci: "You misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with the Pei family. It's about Qiao Yun."
The two men calmed down immediately, but Uncle Qiao spoke first, "Did she do something to embarrass you, so you came back to ask us for instructions?"
She was a little surprised at her uncle's sharpness and nodded slightly, "Uncle, you are right."
Then he told her everything Qiao Yun had done in the Pei family these days, and how he had colluded with Mrs. Pei to plot against him. He told her every detail. The faces of the two uncles from the Qiao family opposite him became more and more ugly, and even uglier was Qiao Xianglan's face.
She suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that she was so eager to reconcile with her mother's family, which brought so much trouble to her daughter.
"You did a great job on this."
"Uncle, don't you blame me? Qiao Yun's life will be difficult if he stays in the Pei family."
"Blame you? She did something wrong, why should we blame you? Besides, her heart is not in the Qiao family, so she is naturally not a member of the Qiao family." said the uncle.
"Your eldest uncle is right. If your third uncle were here, he would probably break her legs for helping outsiders frame her own family."
