Chapter 21: Unknown Junior Daniel Wu
As the two were talking, they heard a voice coming from outside the door. It was the voice of Yun Qiao's maid greeting Zhang Yuqing.
Yun Qiao and Fang Jia looked at each other. Speak of the devil, and he will appear.
Yun Qiao gestured to Fang Jia to continue sitting, and she stood up and walked towards the door.
"Sister Zhang is here. Why did you think of coming to my place now?"
Zhang Yuqing rarely comes uninvited like today.
Generally speaking, he would only come after Yun Qiao invited him, and he would look a little displeased and rarely take the initiative.
After hearing Yun Qiao's words, Zhang Yuqing's face changed slightly, and he seemed to be not looking very good.
"I went to Sister Fang Jia's place first, but when I didn't see her there, I knew she must be looking for you, so I followed her here."
It seemed as if he was afraid that Yun Qiao wouldn't believe it.
Zhang Yuqing added, "I came to ask when she will return to her parents' home. I'd like to move out with her. Our two families live quite close..."
"Oh, I see. Sister Fang Jia just came to play with me and is sitting in the room."
Zhang Yuqing followed Yun Qiao into the house and walked straight to Fang Jia. He said softly, "I was thinking of asking you when you left the mansion. Seeing that you were not there, I knew you would be here."
"When does Sister Zhang want to go back?"
Fang Jia heard Zhang Yuqing's words just now, and asked directly now.
"That's what I wanted to ask you. I'm planning to go back tomorrow. Do you have any other plans?"
Fang Jia said, "Even if we can't be together, I'll wait until the end of the month. It's my mother's birthday at the end of the month, and I want to go out on that day."
Fang Jia frowned as she spoke. She remembered that she had told Zhang Yuqing about the time she would return at the end of the month, but it seemed like she didn't know.
Zhang Yuqing said, "I'm afraid we can't be together anymore."
Zhang Yuqing was not a very talkative person. After he finished asking the questions, he had no reason to stay and continue chatting, so he stood up and said he was leaving.
After Zhang Yuqing left, Yun Qiao saw that Fang Jia's eyes were still fixed on Zhang Yuqing's departing back.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at Sister Zhang?"
"It's strange, I feel like her mind isn't as simple as ours."
Yun Qiao smiled faintly and said nothing.
That's right. They can maintain their current peaceful coexistence because their focus is not on the Marquis. If Fang Jia or she were an admirer of the Marquis, or were favored by the Marquis, this pattern of peaceful coexistence would definitely be broken.
Fang Jia stayed with Yun Qiao for a while and then left.
The next day, Zhang Yuqing did not return to her parents' home. Yun Qiao didn't know what Zhang Yuqing was thinking at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she vaguely understood.
Zhang Yuqing was on guard against her and Fang Jia.
The Marquis's return this time is probably related to the old lady's plan to find him a wife.
I heard a few days ago that the old lady had married Wang Yanran, the legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Wang. This girl had a good family background and her mother was a lady from a prominent family. Wang Yanran herself was a good student and was a famous talented woman in Kyoto.
She is just eighteen this year, which is the right age to discuss marriage.
The old lady was pleased with the decision, but she was not sure what kind of wife her grandson wanted, so she could only find out his opinion first and then make a decision.
But the people in the Marquis' Mansion, after hearing the news three times, seemed to have confirmed that Wang Yanran was going to marry Marquis Chen Jingyan.
Even Yun Qiao felt that Wang Yanran might become the future mistress of this marquisate.
But just as everyone thought that the Marquis was about to marry into the Wang family, the Marquis appeared outside her door at night.
Knowing that Zhang Yuqing was keeping an eye on her and Fang Jia, she was worried that the Marquis would come looking for them again.
Yun Qiao couldn't describe her feelings. She certainly didn't like the Marquis coming to see her. She just wanted to be a happy parasite and didn't want to become a target set by everyone.
She was afraid that she could not afford such incredible wealth.
When the Marquis came, she was lying on the couch reading a storybook after eating and drinking. As she turned around, she suddenly saw a man standing at the door. He was a man who looked particularly familiar.
He hurriedly got up from the bed, no longer as polite and dignified as usual, and even his voice was a little frightened.
"My Lord, you are here. I am not well-dressed. Please don't be upset..."
【Oh my god, why did he come at this hour?】
Chen Jingyan's eyes darkened, and he stared at Yun Qiao with deep eyes.
"What? You mean I'm not welcome?"
Others were looking forward to his coming, but she particularly disliked him and always cursed him in her heart. However, she seemed to have no idea that he could hear the little thoughts in her mind.
Yun Qiao hurriedly said, "I dare not."
She really didn't dare. What was her identity...
Among Chen Jingyan's six concubines, she was of the lowest status and had no parents to support her. Her uncle, the Chen family, naturally would not care about her as a concubine in the Marquis's Mansion. She herself was sent as a gift to please people.
Cheng Danmei was brought by the Marquis. Thanks to the Marquis's relationship, although she was not favored much, she was still given dignity and respect.
As for Lianxiang and Sun Sisi, who were accompanying Cheng Danmei, they were both arranged by the old lady. They had seniority, but even though they weren't favored, they had been in the harem for many years and had built relationships with everyone in the mansion for several years...
Let’s talk about those who came with her.
The Zhang family wanted Zhang Yuqing to gain favor from the Marquis, so they naturally spent money on her and helped her.
Fang Jia has her mother around, so she will definitely not let her down. You can tell from the way she eats and drinks. When the two of them entered the Marquis' Mansion, their mother's family gave them a lot of things.
Only Yunqiao came with her bag.
She doesn't want to be a thorn in the side.
Distancing herself from the Marquis and keeping a proper distance is her only way to protect herself, at least for now.
"Don't dare? I think you dare very much."
Chen Jingyan looked at her. Her face was fatter and she seemed to be more plump than when she first came.
Chen Jingyan was quite amused. When he was not around, Yun Qiao was like this, wearing simple plain clothes, with her hair disheveled and lying on the couch, looking at the few scattered books beside her pillow...
Chen Jingyan reached out to pick up the book.
Yun Qiao quickly reached out and pressed it down, and hid the romantic storybook covered with the cover of the Three Books and Four Classics under the pillow faster than the Marquis.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my Lord. Qiao Niang has little education, so I wanted to read more books. Most of these books are filled with messy drawings that look like ghostly graffiti. I'm afraid they will cloud your eyes."
Chen Jingyan sat on the chair and looked at Yun Qiao intently.
"I'll stay at your place tonight."
"There's a yard next to the hospital. You can move there later."
Yun Qiao was shocked. Was she experiencing Mercury retrograde recently?
I just slept with the Marquis for two simple nights, do I have to sleep with him forever?
"My Lord, I dare not do this."
Chen Jingyan said coldly: "After entering the Marquis' Mansion, do you still want to remain a virgin for someone? Remember your identity. With what identity did you enter the Marquis' Mansion? Who did you come here to serve?"
She is quite courageous. She has already entered the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that she is still thinking about that unknown young man named Daniel Wu...
I really want to cheat on him, but it's absolutely impossible.
