Chapter 67 Sanlang, Don’t Be Tempted
Yun Qiao watched her vent her emotions.
After Li Yuan finished venting, Yun Qiao said, "The old lady is getting old now, and she only cares about eating and drinking. She doesn't care much about other things. This is also because she wants to find a wife for the Marquis as soon as possible."
Speaking of which, Chen Jingyan is indeed not young anymore, and he is almost thirty years old.
If he hadn't devoted himself to the battlefield, a man of his age would have died as a grandfather.
Li Yuan curled his lips after listening to Yun Qiao finish speaking.
"Who cares about him? I used to think he was pretty good, but looking at the situation in this family, if I marry into this family, won't I have to clean up this mess?"
Yun Qiao frowned.
Could it be that the girl from the Li family also doesn’t want to marry Chen Jingyan?
"Isn't the Marquis very good?"
He is handsome, rich, and willing to spend money on women.
Li Yuan: "That's very nice to you. Have you seen him treat other women well besides you?"
What a pity! Yun Qiao has a cold and cannot give birth. If she could give birth, she would definitely rely on giving birth to a child to get to the top.
For a woman to be unable to bear children is a fatal flaw.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, she left and returned to her yard. Yun Qiao also got up and went to Lan Garden. When passing by the garden, she saw those vicious dogs still strolling around, not tied up.
Yun Qiao didn't pay much attention and turned to go towards Lanyuan.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Jingyan came back in the afternoon, he found that the vicious dog Wu Jin, which had always been free-range, ran out.
He also attacked Chen Jingyan.
He was killed on the spot by Chen Jingyan with a single blow.
"I heard that the Marquis learned of my cousin's plight and was deeply distressed. Besides chopping Wu Jin to death, he also executed the other three."
Yun Qiao drank a cup of scented tea. This golden honey chrysanthemum tea tasted really good. It was worthy of being the tea sent by the Marquis. It tasted much better than the common tea distributed in the Marquis' Mansion.
Before they finished their tea, they saw the person they were talking about coming.
"My Lord, how are you..."
The maid bowed and left.
Yun Qiao then stood up and poured tea for the Marquis and brought it to him.
"My Lord, you come here at this hour. It seems you have something to ask me?"
Chen Jingyan took a sip of his tea and said, "Nothing much. What do you think about what happened in the garden today?"
Ask her what she said?
[Could it be that the Marquis thinks I instigated the conflict between my cousin and the eldest wife?]
Yun Qiao thought to herself and couldn't help but look at Chen Jingyan twice.
[The Marquis intends to marry my cousin in the future. Is he thinking that my cousin has been wronged and wants to take it out on her?]
Chen Jingyan couldn't help but said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm just asking you, but I've been wronged."
Yun Qiao immediately said, "I have not been wronged."
"I'm just worried about the boy who was sent to the eldest young lady. He was fighting with a dog for food before, and now I don't know what's going on. The Marquis is so smart, how come he didn't notice that there was something wrong with the people in the first house?"
What?
Fighting for food with the dog?
He knew something about the fact that there was a new child in his eldest brother's courtyard. He heard from his grandmother that the first wife had always wanted a child but couldn't, so they wanted to adopt a child so that they could have an heir.
His grandmother had done this before.
So she believed in this very much.
So she decided to send the child to the eldest wife. Now the eldest wife is pregnant, but she treats the child like this in secret.
"I've left the affairs of Lan Garden to you. You've done a great job, and Xiaoxiang Garden has also been handled well."
When Chen Jingyan said that the matter was handled well, he was referring to the matter of Lianxiang's death.
"Have you ever thought about helping to manage the internal affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?" he asked.
Yun Qiao was surprised.
"The Marquis has entrusted the affairs of the Marquis's inner chambers to a concubine like me. I'm afraid that's not going to work, right?"
The old lady would definitely not agree to it.
In fact, Yun Qiao just wants to be a salted fish. She is not very happy about being a leader and managing people. Instead, she wants to be a small salted fish and live a Buddhist life, so she can live freely.
Chen Jingyan didn't answer.
He asked this question just now because he was impulsive.
He actually wanted Yun Qiao to take charge of the internal affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.
He must be exhausted recently, how could he come up with such an idea.
He liked Yunqiao, but this liking was just a liking for beautiful things...
But she's quite interesting, isn't she?
At least don't be greedy for his money and sex.
Yun Qiao saw that Chen Jingyan was staring at her without saying anything, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.
"My Lord? Are you okay?"
Chen Jingyan pushed her hand away, "I'm fine."
"I won't come to your house tonight." He seemed to be talking to Yun Qiao, but also seemed to be testing her thoughts.
After saying that, he explained again.
"I've just been a little busy lately."
Yun Qiao naturally agreed. She seemed reluctant to see him off, but she was waving her fists in her heart, saying, "My Lord, take care."
Chen Jingyan was in no mood when he left Lan Garden and returned to the study in the main courtyard.
Gu Heng happened to come looking for him.
"Second brother is here."
Gu Heng saw that he was about to go out, "You're going out at this hour?"
Chen Jingyan said, "There's something, but it's not important. Second brother, what's the matter?"
The two brothers sat down. Gu Heng looked at Chen Jingyan and asked, "Did you go to Jiangcheng some time ago? Did you find any clues?"
Chen Jingyan said, "If I had any clues, I would have brought her here a long time ago. It's been so long, it's a bit difficult to find her."
After Chen Jingyan finished speaking, he looked up at Gu Heng.
"Second brother, this isn't the only reason you're looking for me, right?"
Gu Heng then said, "I'm going to Jiangcheng to collect some debts. I might have to stay there for a while. If you have any important clues, tell me and I'll help you find them."
"Sanlang, marry soon so Grandmother can worry less. That's why I came to see you today. Grandmother said that the cousin from the Li family doesn't seem to care much about you..."
Of course, Gu Heng wanted Chen Jingyan to get married as soon as possible.
He saw that Li Yuan always went to his Chunhui Garden today.
It is not a good thing for two brothers to have an ambiguous relationship with a woman.
"I didn't expect Grandma would still ask you to come." Chen Jingyan smiled, mostly helplessly. "You are my second brother. To be honest with you, getting married to me doesn't seem to make any difference."
Aren’t he and Yun Qiao living the same life as an ordinary couple?
It's just that I have no offspring.
"Oh, by the way, second brother, I asked you to check Aunt Qiao's health. Is there still a chance for her to recover?"
Gu Heng said, "Madam Qiao's health is seriously weakened. She has developed a cold. She can recover from it, but there's no guarantee that she can recover and have children in the future."
Chen Jingyan said, "These are all fine. She has a cold that has taken hold of her body, her limbs are cold, and her body is weak and vulnerable. If there is any medicine, give her some to regulate her body."
Gu Heng looked at Chen Jingyan with a serious expression.
"Sanlang, are you in love with Aunt Qiao? You can like her, but don't be serious. How can you get married in the future if you do that?"
