Yuan Xueqing's eyes fell on Qiao Yurong, who was sitting opposite Wen Tingyuan outside, drinking tea and reading a storybook, "Your Qiao family is really prosperous now!"
Qiao Yuyan thought she was talking about Wen Tingyuan, so she didn't respond and continued to look at Yuan Xueqing intently.
Yuan Xueqing didn't feel any embarrassment about this, but smiled lightly, "Miss Qiao, how do you behave in the world! It's not a good thing to dominate the limelight, what do you think?"
"Okay!" Qiao Yuyan frowned and raised her hand, "Miss Yuan, you have time to walk around here slowly, but I don't have time to stay outside. If you have something to say, you can tell me something, and don't talk about what is or isn't."
"I want you to stop the marriage between the Song family and your family."
Qiao Yuyan was stunned by Yuan Xueqing's words. She reacted for a long time before she remembered Qiao Yurong who Yuan Xueqing was looking at just now.
The little girl wearing autumn-colored trousers was obviously addicted to the storybook in her hand. A smile appeared on her face unconsciously. Her other hand did not forget to touch the dried fruits on the plate. Her cheeks bulged due to the food in her mouth.
Bag.
Clearly still acting like a little girl!
"Miss Yuan, are you mistaken? I don't know where you got this news from, but the reputation of my third sister does not allow for such random arrangement."
A faint smile appeared on Yuan Xueqing's face, with a hint of disdain, "This is what Mrs. Song means. I haven't said it out yet, let alone you. Even your old lady probably doesn't know this yet."
information."
"As far as I know, the relationship between Miss Yuan and the Song family does not seem to be so close. Even the granddaughter-in-law that Mrs. Song is interested in can let you know in advance.
If Mrs. Song really trusts you so much and tells you such a thing, wouldn’t it mean that you have betrayed Mrs. Song’s trust by publicizing it like this outside?”
"I didn't publicize it," Yuan Xueqing squinted her eyes slightly and added a bit of confidence to her smile, "Will Miss Qiao tell her? No! If she can't, how can it be publicized?"
She was so worried that Qiao Yuyan did not dare to target her for the sake of her own reputation.
"I can't help you because you're so busy. You said it yourself. My old lady doesn't even know about things. How can I stop you?"
Yuan Xueqing said calmly: "This depends on your ability, Miss Qiao. No matter what reasons the Qiao family makes up, I can't watch your cousin marry the fourth son of the Song family."
Qiao Yuyan looked her up and down and suddenly sneered, "I don't know if my cousin will marry into the Song family in the end, but I think Miss Yuan probably won't be able to marry into it either."
These words made Yuan Xueqing put away her smile and look at her coldly, "What did you say?!"
"The Song family is a master of poetry and calligraphy. Before the death of the Song family's grandfather, he had already mentioned the criteria for selecting a wife of the Song family. Miss Yuan, a woman who has not yet been engaged, actually opened her mouth and kept silent about the marriage of someone else's family.
It's quite... shameless. I believe in the Song family's vision and their prudence. Miss Yuan is just making wedding clothes for others by taking precautions like this!"
After Qiao Yuyan finished speaking, she stood up leisurely and smiled at her, "Then, I'll leave first."
"stop!"
Yuan Xueqing was a little annoyed and couldn't help but speak louder. She immediately noticed that Wen Tingyuan's eyes were coldly scanning over her.
She didn't know why, but when she came into contact with that line of sight, she actually shuddered, and almost immediately smiled, "Why is Miss Qiao so impatient? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Although she was speaking with a smile, her voice seemed to come from between her teeth, and the annoyance in her voice was obvious.
Qiao Yuyan smiled at Wen Tingyuan over there, then turned around and looked at Yuan Xueqing, "Miss Yuan, I have already said what I thought I should say."
"Miss Qiao hasn't promised me yet." Yuan Xueqing said, fiddling with the purse beside her.
Qiao Yuyan's eyes fell on the purse, "What Miss Yuan means is that as long as I stop the marriage between my third sister and the Song family, you will give me the note inside?"
"Yes!" Yuan Xueqing stared directly into Qiao Yuyan's eyes, as if she wanted to judge Qiao Yuyan's attitude at this time.
"I'm sorry," Qiao Yuyan shrugged, "I have no interest in making this proposal to you."
"So you don't care about your reputation anymore?!" Yuan Xueqing squinted her eyes and looked at her, with a hint of threat in her tone, "I can guarantee that it will be spread among the people tomorrow.
With Mr. Wen Liu's character and family background, are you sure, Miss Qiao, that the Wen family will accept such a daughter-in-law?"
Qiao Yuyan shook her head gently and sighed, "Miss Yuan, we are not on the same path, and we can't even talk together. Do whatever you want! However, I advise you to think carefully before acting.
Clearly, can you really bear the consequences of doing this?"
After saying that, he no longer cared about the other party's reaction and walked out directly.
Yuan Xueqing watched her walk away step by step from behind, but was helpless. Even though she had just spoken freely in front of Qiao Yuyan, she could not shout loudly in front of everyone.
Qiao Yurong over there had just finished reading two chapters, with a look of unfinished content on her face. She just wished she could go back earlier and continue reading.
Seeing her coming back, he quickly greeted her, "Why is this Yuan Xueqing looking for you? Doesn't she have the best relationship with Qiao Yuning? Ignore her, let's go back quickly!"
Qiao Yuyan said: "Ning'er, you go back first, I have something else to do."
"Ah?" Qiao Yurong's eyes turned to the two of them, and the smile on her face was a little mischievous, "Oh! I see, it seems that I really shouldn't follow you out today!"
"Okay, go back quickly! If anyone asks, just say I went to the shop."
"I know, I know!" Qiao Yurong hurriedly read the storybook, responded hurriedly twice, and quickly took the maid out.
Wen Tingyuan glanced at the elegant room where Yuan Xueqing was just now, and then took Qiao Yuyan out of the teahouse.
The carriage was taken away by Qiao Yurong, and Qiao Yuyan was helped by Wen Tingyuan to get on his horse, and then he led the horse to Mengpo Zhai.
The two of them walked like ordinary people. Qiao Yuyan looked around with her eyes wide, so as not to attract anyone's attention. Then she lowered her voice and told him roughly the conversation she had just had with Yuan Xueqing.
"I can't trust this person. She seems to be quite scheming. I don't have the guts to make a deal with her. What's more, there is no trace of Rong'er's marriage. How could I get involved at will?"
After speaking, she asked Wen Tingyuan, "But the mission sheet in her hand seems to be real. We still have to find a way to get it back."
Wen Tingyuan suddenly smiled warmly at her, "Do you want to leave it to me?"
