Qiao Weisheng frowned, quickly drove his horse forward two steps, and saw Qiao Yuyan sitting in the carriage.
Qiao Yuyan also looked at her father blankly, not knowing how to explain it for a while.
Yesterday's statement was just a way to deal with Wei Cheng, thinking that as long as he was sent away, the matter would be over.
Although he was a general, he didn't move around the capital much, and he didn't know either of them at all. If he met them in the future, he could deny them by simply admitting that they were the wrong person.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, he would shout out.
And Shen Jing went crazy for no apparent reason, exposing the fact that she and Wen Tingyuan were together.
At this moment, the sky was just dawning and the city gate had just opened, but she and Wen Tingyuan came from outside the city. In addition, Wei Cheng said that there was no relationship between them, who would believe it?
Qiao Yuyan pursed her lips. She was usually very smart, but now her voice was gone.
However, Princess Jiahe immediately jumped off her horse and rushed in front of Wen Tingyuan, her face almost touching his body. "What do you think your relationship is with her?"
Wen Tingyuan seemed to be intimidated by Princess Jiahe's momentum. He quickly took a step back and frowned tightly, "I and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family have been engaged for a long time, so we are naturally an unmarried couple."
He looked magnanimous, as if there really was an inexplicable engagement between him and Qiao Yuyan.
"You're talking nonsense!" Princess Jiahe immediately denied and retorted, "Yesterday I was at Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion. Jinghe talked about you winning the first place in the provincial examination. The Qiao family didn't react at all. How could you be related to their family?"
Qiao Yuyan didn't know how Wen Tingyuan came out with such a baseless lie. When she heard Princess Jiahe's words, she was dumbfounded.
The two princesses went to Qiao's house yesterday. What were they doing at Qiao's house?
In recent years, the Qiao family has been far away from the political center and has little contact with the royal family. How could the two princesses go to their own home?
Jiahe didn't wait for Wen Tingyuan to answer, and said coldly: "You want to cover up for her! She disappeared yesterday. How many people said they saw her kidnapped outside the city. There is no Qing at all..."
"Princess, be careful what you say!" Wen Tingyuan interrupted Jiahe with a gloomy face, "It is a good thing for the princess to care about the lives of her subjects, but if she talks nonsense, she will lose her sense of proportion."
He spoke frankly: "Yesterday was the day when the results were released. The eldest daughter of the Qiao family had already agreed with me that she would read the results for me. I have been studying abroad and didn't know the level of the test candidates in Beijing, so I was nervous, so I just went I went to Daxiangguo Temple outside the city to cultivate my mind.
Unexpectedly, when Miss Qiao saw that I had won the first prize, she immediately went to look for me outside the city. We didn't dare to stay for such a big thing, so we took the same way back. Unexpectedly, an accident happened on the way and we lost our way. , I was delayed outside for a long time before I could get back to the city."
He looked at Princess Jiahe sternly, "Princess has a valuable status, so she should be cautious in her words and deeds to maintain the dignity of the royal family. How can she be so careless in her words and ruin someone's innocence?"
Princess Jiahe looked at Wen Tingyuan blankly. She had secretly looked at him countless times since the last time she saw him at the Song family.
In her eyes, this person will always be as cool as the moon, like the snow on the mountains, or like an immortal in the moon palace. She has never seen him have a look of panic, worry, or panic, and his face is always as calm as a god. .
Never had I seen him look so serious and cold, still facing me.
Even Princess Jiahe, who had always had a strong self-esteem, felt unbearably sad at the moment, her eyes turned red and she almost shed tears.
Finally, he forced the tears back into the corner of his eyes, and instead sneered, "Do you think I am a fool?"
Qiao Weisheng had seen many things in his thirty or forty years of life, but the current thing still made him stunned for a long time.
At this moment, Jiahe's words made him suddenly come back to his senses.
The fact that the eldest daughter was missing all night is no longer a secret in the capital. She also went out of the city last night, but she didn't gain much.
I learned the news early this morning that he was in the west of the city. He was in a hurry to find someone because of his child's life and as a father.
In fact, I also know in my heart that even if I get my daughter back, my daughter will be destined to be unable to hold her head up in the eyes of everyone in her life.
Even while he was worrying about his daughter, he also thought about where it would be better to send Qiao Yuyan to live.
At this moment, he suddenly realized the dispute between Wen Tingyuan and Princess Jiahe. As long as he acknowledged the marriage between Qiao Yuyan and Wen Tingyuan, his daughter's disappearance for one night could be resolved safely.
Pass.
It's not nice for an unmarried couple to stay alone outside the city for a night without consummating their marriage, but it won't kill anyone.
At the moment, he didn't care whether it was reasonable or not, and whether it was reasonable or not, he quickly said loudly: "You two evildoers, why don't you tell your family about something? You left the city without saying hello, why did you go to some temple to cultivate your mind?
, do you know that everyone in your family went crazy looking for you yesterday?
Another one, even if you go to Zingyuan, you should say hello to your mother. Unfortunately, your grandmother and mother thought you were abducted yesterday, so they stayed at home all night!"
When Qiao Weisheng was talking, he had already jumped off the carriage and walked to Wen Tingyuan, with his hands behind his back and a very serious expression on his face, "Since you are studying, you should be sensible, not to mention that now that you have achieved fame, you can act...
If you are still so obedient and reckless, how can you serve the country in the future?"
He actually used his elder's money to scold him. When Wen Tingyuan came over to speak, he acted as if he was being scolded. At a glance, it was like a son scolding me.
"What my father-in-law taught me is that my son-in-law must keep it in mind in the future and never do it again, causing our elders to worry about us."
Jiahe still didn't believe it, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and finally sneered, "It's not that easy to fool me, so I'll go and ask clearly."
After saying that, he jumped up, turned the horse's head, and whipped away.
More and more people gathered at the gate of the city, but the common people knew that these were great officials and men, and they did not dare to talk loudly. They only gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices.
The other two groups of people who were about to leave the city did not dare to say anything about Princess Jiahe. They were just observing carefully.
Shen Jing was dumbfounded, with some fear in her eyes. Seeing Princess Jiahe leaving, she quickly rode up to follow her. Wei Cheng, on the other hand, looked steadily at the direction in which she was leaving, and the corners of his raised mouth gradually flattened.
The other people who followed Princess Jiahe naturally dispersed in a rush.
Qiao Weisheng's eyes flashed slightly, and when he spoke again, he sounded stern and angry: "Since you are already back, go back quickly to save your family from worrying."
After saying that, he didn't move his lips and only spoke to Wen Tingyuan in a breathy voice, "Now that the princess is gone, I'm afraid the lie just now will be self-defeating."
