Chapter 184 How Could I Be Unprepared?



The days passed quickly and soon it was the first day of March.

Qiao Mansion.

Since slowly selling off the Qingzhou business to Han Yaxian, Qiao Tianjing finally felt a little relieved.

But the price is that Qiao Tianjing used to be very busy alone, but now both he and his wife are very busy!

Han Yaxian was very happy. She now lived a very fulfilling life every day and often learned new things.

She also often consulted with Mrs. Qiao, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together to come up with new ideas for lipsticks and perfumes.

Of course, Mrs. Qiao often gets some surprises and inspirations from Qiao Jiaojiao's inner thoughts, and then secretly tells her...

She once asked Qiao Lang if it would be a bad idea to hide this from her younger sister.

Qiao Lang asked her a question seriously:

"Xian'er, even if you feel guilty, how would you feel if you knew that others could hear your thoughts?"

Han Yaxian pondered for a moment, then immediately shook her head in pain.

Because after she put herself in the situation's shoes, she found that she couldn't help but panic, and she would subconsciously suppress her thoughts, be restrained, and even want to escape from everyone.

At that time, Qiao Lang sighed slightly, his face full of pity.

"In fact, we can hear my little sister's voice. This is unfair to her, but it seems to be God's arrangement for her to guide us out of trouble and change our destiny."

"Xian'er, we all love our little sister very much. We even regard her as more important than our own lives."

"When my little sister grows up, maybe she will have new ideas. If the time is right, I think we will tell her."

"Or maybe one day, when we have completely changed our destiny, we may never hear the voice of my little sister again."

"All we can do now is to keep it a secret from her and let her grow up happily without any burden or restraint."

After listening to this, Han Yaxian understood the painstaking efforts of Qiao Tianjing and the others. She pretended to be ignorant of the matter and did not reveal any clues in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.

In the study of Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Tianjing has recently devoted a lot of attention to the Meng Mansion and Meng Guxue.

Because for the next period of time, Meng Guxue will be an extremely crucial part of their plan!

When Qiao Tianjing learned that Mrs. Meng had always disagreed with Meng Guxue's participation in the East Suburb Poetry Festival the day after tomorrow, he decided to take action.

Standing in front of him was the secret guard Qiao San, who was now in charge of the Meng Mansion.

Qiao Tianjing solemnly instructed: "Uncle San, find an opportunity to tell Meng Guxue that Baili Chengyou will be attending the poetry meeting."

"If she still can't think of a solution, then on the third day of March, we will help her leave the Meng Mansion."

Qiao San nodded respectfully: "Yes!"

Meng Mansion.

Meng Guxue has been feeling very depressed recently.

Because no matter how she acted coquettishly, Mrs. Meng was determined not to let her attend this year's East Suburb Poetry Festival.

In fact, she didn't have to go.

Because she could also attend the palace banquet for the Emperor's birthday on the fourth day of March.

If things had developed as in the dream, she would indeed have amazed Baili Chengyou at the palace banquet.

But considering that nothing has gone well for her since she traveled through time, she still wants to try her luck at the poetry meeting first, which can be regarded as giving herself one more chance.

If Baili Chengyou also went to the poetry reading, wouldn't she be able to impress him a day in advance?

However, Mrs. Meng was really stubborn. She even said that the letter she sent to Qingzhou had received a reply and that the so-called cousin would come to the capital to pick her up in person.

She doesn't want to go to Qingzhou!

"well--"

Meng Guxue rolled around in bed, feeling upset.

Just then, a muffled voice was heard outside the door.

"Miss Xiaotao, these are the laundry that was sent in the day before yesterday. They are all washed and dried."

"Madame Wang, why did you personally deliver it today?"

"Miss Xiaotao, didn't you inquire about the news for the young lady a few days ago? I overheard some of it by accident. I wonder if the young lady still wants to know now?"

When Meng Guxue heard this, she sat up quickly.

"want!"

She exclaimed softly, hurriedly got off the bed and opened the door.

Nanny Wang from the laundry room was short and thin. When she saw Meng Guxue, she hurriedly bowed.

Meng Guxue got straight to the point and asked, "What do you know? Tell me quickly."

Nanny Wang said hurriedly, "I heard them gossiping about it. It has nothing to do with us servants. We just joined in the fun."

"It's spread outside that this year's poetry gathering will be extremely grand, because even the envoys from the Southern Li Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom will participate."

When Meng Guxue heard this, her eyes lit up.

"really?"

Nanny Wang quickly shook her head and said, "Miss, I only heard it once, but I can't guarantee it."

Meng Guxue didn't care.

Since the news can spread, it must not be groundless.

She must go to this poetry reading!

"Xiao Tao, show your reward to Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang, if you have any more news, please come and tell me!"

Nanny Wang took the change and agreed happily.

Meng Guxue returned to the room, and Xiao Tao immediately followed in with clothes in her arms, and said with a worried look on her face:

"Miss, you...you don't want to go to the poetry reading, do you? But the lady won't agree."

Meng Guxue had already made up her mind and shook her head nonchalantly.

"Even if mom doesn't let me go, I will find a way to go! Xiaotao, this poetry gathering is really important to me!"

Xiaotao didn't understand at all.

"Miss, your talent is already recognized in the capital. I have something to say, you don't need to prove yourself at the poetry meeting."

"I saw you write so many poems in one breath that day. I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can write poems better than you."

Xiaotao's praise was sincere, and Meng Guxue also knew that Xiaotao treated her sincerely.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Tao, I'm not going there to show off. I want to fight for a future for myself!"

"The future?" Xiao Tao looked confused.

Meng Guxue nodded firmly.

"Yes, because I don't want to be mediocre. What I want is a life full of excitement and someone who loves me wholeheartedly!"

Xiao Tao suddenly understood and couldn't help but look shocked.

"Miss, private communication is a taboo! You have already sent the poem that day. If we meet in private again, it will really be... there will be no recovery!"

"Miss, please don't do this!"

Meng Guxue shook her head, "Xiao Tao, it's not him. I want to fight for someone else."

Xiaotao took a long time to react, then suddenly covered her mouth.

The young lady has fallen in love with another young man again?

"But Miss, your poems and calligraphy are still in the hands of the gentleman in front. This... this is a handle!"

When Meng Guxue heard this, her pretty face slightly raised and she suddenly revealed a smile.

"Xiao Tao, although I am not smart at all, this is about my future, how could I be defenseless?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaotao looked at Meng Guxue in surprise.

Meng Guxue smiled faintly and said, "I have more than a hundred poems in my mind. As for my handwriting, if others can recognize it, I lose!"

When she was reciting poems for the second prince, she had only learned calligraphy for two months. Although her handwriting was already decent, it was still very immature.

From then on, she became more careful and learned another font.

In the past year, her handwriting has become completely different from before.

"Oh, Xiaotao, please help me tonight by burning all the calligraphy practice posts I wrote. Don't leave any of them behind!"

"Forget it, let's burn them all together! I won't feel at ease until I see them all reduced to ashes!"

Meng Guxue said this and walked towards the wooden box containing the calligraphy notes with a determined look.

If Baili Chengyou really loved and protected her as in her dreams, then she would abandon the uncontrollable Second Prince and seek another future!
