Qiao Yuning's heart sank suddenly. No matter how insensitive she was, she could tell that this was not a good thing, but... what did it mean?
After waiting for a long time and there was no other movement, she quietly raised her eyes and found that Princess Jiahe had turned around and continued to walk into the garden, not forgetting to tell Wen Ruting about the scenery in the garden.
She was immediately ashamed and angry. Even though she had been humiliated and severely punished for her secret meeting with Wen Liang, only her family had seen it. How could she have been so embarrassed in public?
This Princess Jiahe...
She gritted her teeth and finally walked forward with difficulty with the help of the maid, but she noticed that a gaze was falling on her.
Following the feeling, he looked over and met Qiao Yuyan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Qiao Yuning almost couldn't help but step forward and give that face a scratch.
If there was anyone she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of, it was Qiao Yuyan, but Qiao Yuyan had seen almost all her embarrassments, whether it was the last time or this time.
But she can't.
At least not now. From now on, she will definitely look at Qiao Yuyan like this, watching her pitifully and miserably begging for mercy!
When the girls over there saw them coming, they consciously put aside what they were doing and gathered around.
Although he didn't look at her openly, Qiao Yuyan could still detect the probing eyes on her.
This was also expected, so she just stood aside quietly with a smile on her face, and greeted others when necessary.
After everyone had finished their initial greetings, Song Yuwei walked over with a smile, reached out and took her hand, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why didn't you come here until now?"
The two of them walked to the water's edge to see the fish she had caught. Qiao Yurong also went to the girl she knew well.
Only Qiao Yuning felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. Looking at it, she saw that there were many little sisters she was familiar with in the past, but none of them came forward to say hello to her.
Some even pretended not to see her, and even if one or two made eye contact with her, they quickly looked away, as if they didn't want to have anything to do with her at all.
Seeing the girl from the Fang family walking over, Qiao Yuning quickly called her out: "Sister Fang!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, the girl from the Fang family smiled and said hello to another person in the distance and trotted over.
There's no way she didn't hear it!
Even if you are in a hurry to say hello to others, you cannot fail to say hello to yourself.
what happened?
What must have happened?
But she had no clue. Looking at the bustling scene, she suddenly felt cold all over.
On this early autumn morning, she seemed to be in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
The scariest thing is not the face, but the unknown.
Qiao Yuning stood there blankly, not knowing which way to go for a moment. She didn't dare to strike up a conversation in front of anyone. If she was really rejected explicitly, she wouldn't know what the scene was like.
"Ning'er!"
A familiar voice, like sunshine piercing the dark clouds, suddenly pulled her out of the ice and snow. Qiao Yuning turned around and saw Yuan Xueqing with a complicated expression.
By the way, Xueqing!
And Qing'er, no matter what, Xue Qing is her good friend!
Qiao Yuning hurriedly ran over, "Qing'er, I..."
Yuan Xueqing looked around, pulled her to sit on a stone bench under a loquat tree in the garden, and then held her shoulders, "Don't you think it's strange? It seems that no one is willing to talk to you.
Do you all want to stay away from you?"
Qiao Yuning's eyes were red. She nodded repeatedly and looked at her sadly, "Qing'er, do you know what is going on? Even Sister Fang, Sister Fang clearly heard me calling her just now, but she still ran away.
Far away, what did I do wrong? Why do everyone avoid me?"
Yuan Xueqing's expression was a little complicated, and she sighed, "Not only them, but also I can't talk to you anymore. It happened today, and I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that it was you...
…”
"What?" Qiao Yuning's heart felt like a hundred claws scratching her heart. She couldn't wait any longer, "Say it quickly!"
"I told you not to be angry." Yuan Xueqing thought about the friendship between the two of them and didn't care about that much. "I heard that you and your sister, Qiao Yuyan, were fighting for the son of the Wen family?
It is said that you have fallen in love with your sister’s husband and have been secretly trying to snatch him away. Later, it was exposed and you were fined to go to Yuehua Temple to pray for blessings for two months!"
Yuan Xueqing's words suddenly struck Qiao Yuning like thunder. She stayed for a long time before she cursed in a trembling voice, "Who is not afraid of thunder and lightning to say such heart-wrenching words?! How much hatred does this have against me? You have to put it aside
I'm going to die!"
Yuan Xueqing quickly raised a finger to her lips to signal her to calm down, "I heard this rumor today. I also observed it carefully just now. I guess most people are like me and have never heard it before.
If something like this has happened, there is a high probability that he is the person who came today."
Qiao Yuning's face was full of resentment, she clenched her teeth, and was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
Yuan Xueqing looked at her look, sighed slightly, and then patted her shoulder, "I can't stay with you any longer. You know the situation in my family. If someone takes the blame, my life will be even more difficult.
However, hiding is not an option right now. It is best for you to stay with your sister. If people see your deep love as sisters, the rumors will be a little less convincing."
She could only say so much. After she finished speaking, she just sighed again and walked away in a hurry.
Qiao Yuning sat there blankly, Yuan Xueqing's words echoing in her mind over and over again.
She looked through the gaps in the leaves of the loquat tree and saw Qiao Yuyan, who was chatting and laughing with Song Yuwei over there, and her face suddenly turned pale.
He actually asked her to please Qiao Yuyan, hoping that she would give him a smile?
This is even worse than killing her!
She really couldn't do it, just go to Qiao Yuyan's feet and beg for mercy!
Over there, Qiao Yuyan was very surprised when she heard Song Yuwei talking about this rumor. Who would say such a thing so recklessly? This is to put Qiao Yuning on the fire!
Song Yuwei was not surprised by her reaction. She believed in Qiao Yuyan's character and knew that it would not be her, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Is this the case?"
This question made it difficult for Qiao Yuyan to answer. She hesitated and thought that she and Wen Liang were not engaged at that time. At most, they were just looking at each other.
Can Qiao Yuning's behavior be regarded as robbing her husband?
When Song Yuwei saw her hesitation, she nodded and said, "It seems like it's true! You, my sister, amaze me."
The two people were hiding by the river and talking quietly, but they didn't know what to say, and others had already heard their words.
