During the time that Qiao Yuning was married, how could she still not know Jiahe?
Even though she behaves dignified and virtuous now, the airs of the princess are still there.
It was her filial duty as a daughter-in-law to go to greet her mother-in-law and grandmother every day, but after going there, it was her dignity as a princess to sit across from her master.
If she wanted to know anything about the affairs of the house, she could just ask directly. Even Mrs. Wen had told her not to neglect her.
She knew full well what status Qiao Yuning held now, and if she offended Jiahe, she would be asking for her own death.
So now she quickly put on a smile and said, "Princess, you are serious. It turns out that the princess is not here. I just..."
"Be bold!"
Before Qiao Yuning finished speaking, the maid next to Princess Jiahe immediately scolded her, "Princess, you also call me 'me' in front of me? Whose influence did my aunt take advantage of?!"
Qiao Yuning couldn't bear to be scolded by a maid in such a loud manner. She glanced at Princess Jiahe, but saw that she was just playing with the purse hanging on her waist. She knew that this maid was under her influence.
It just happened.
How could I dare to be so harsh? I could only hold back the grievance in my heart and smile, "I am being rude, I hope the princess will respect you."
Seeing that there was no change in Princess Jiahe's expression, Qiao Yuning continued to defend, "I was also in a moment of impatience. I was afraid that the two of them would ruin the reputation of the princess, so I acted recklessly and did not pay attention to propriety."
Jiahe then put away the purse in his hand and gave Qiao Yuning a cold look, "Although you have good intentions, I cannot forgive you for this matter."
Qiao Yuning recalled the last time she was punished by Jiahe. The last time she was a noble girl, she attended a banquet of the Wen family.
This time, she was just a concubine, and Jiahe was the mistress above her.
She immediately became anxious and quickly knelt down, "Princess..."
"You may not think that these two are just little maids, but this is their status after they came to the Wen family with me. They used to be in the palace, and they still had high status.
You, a white aunt, are so arrogant and slapped them. Not only did you not take this princess in your eyes, but you also didn't take the royal family in your eyes. The crime of disrespecting the royal family is serious, and you can still take your life.
of.
But after all, you are a member of my house, and I don’t want you to suffer such harsh punishments, so I’ll just give you a small punishment and a big warning! Someone..."
Qiao Yuning was almost paralyzed with fear. Could it be that she would have to kneel in public for several hours?
But at this time, she didn't even dare to ask for mercy. The woman in front of her clearly brought her here to humiliate her on purpose!
She originally thought she could stand up in the Wen family and trample this terrible woman under her feet, using her mother's methods, but now she understands that the disparity between identities is like a chasm.
The life in front of us is simply a pit of fire!
How on earth did she get here step by step?!
"Princess!" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind her, and Qiao Yuning felt happy when she saw Wen Liang appear at the door of the East Crossing Courtyard, coming in a hurry with an eager look on his face.
Princess Jiahe didn't seem surprised. She walked over with a smile and stretched out her hands to smooth out his clothes that were wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. "Why did the consort come out? But the decoration in the room is not what you want?"
Wen Liang lost some of his eagerness at Princess Jiahe's gentle gesture, "No, the house is well decorated. Thank you Princess for taking the trouble."
Jiahe smiled softly, "You are my consort, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do. When my consort came out now, he must have been disturbed by outsiders. If it is my consort, I will take him somewhere else."
.”
His gentle gaze slid across Qiao Yuning's face as she knelt on the ground. Seeing her pitiful appearance, she felt heartbroken and unbearable, "Princess, Aunt Qiao... she is still young after all, and she doesn't understand many rules. She needs more teaching from the princess.
Please also ask the princess to remember that this is her first offense and forgive her this time!"
Qiao Yuning looked at Wen Liang over there with tenderness and hope in her eyes. He had been married to the princess for so many days, and this was the first time she had seen him so close.
But Wen Liang didn't look at her, his eyes still fell on Jiahe.
On the other hand, Jiahe cast a glance towards this side with a half-smile, and then held Wen Liang's hand with a smile, "Okay, we are husband and wife, and our relationship is no better than that of others. You have already spoken, how can I still deny it?"
Wen Liang quickly held her hand back and said, "Thank you, princess."
Princess Jiahe turned around, looked at Qiao Yuning condescendingly and said: "Since the consort is interceding for you, I will not punish you this time. I hope Aunt Qiao will know the etiquette and observe the etiquette in the future, and will not make the same mistake as she did today."
It will bring trouble to all of us."
Qiao Yuning quickly responded in a low voice, and Wei Wei stood up.
Although it was clear that Wen Liang would plead for her and she would not be punished again, she did not feel relieved at all.
At this time, Princess Jiahe and Wen Liang were standing together, like a pair of lovers. They were talking and laughing, respecting each other as if they were guests. Princess Jiahe even whispered something to Wen Liang, which made him couldn't help but laugh.
This scene hurt Qiao Yuning's eyes.
This is obviously her only hope of marrying into the Wen family!
"What else is going on, aunt?" Princess Jiahe was whispering something to Wen Liang. Suddenly she found Qiao Yuning still standing there and couldn't help but ask her doubtfully.
Qiao Yuning was still thinking about what happened at Qiao's house today. Even though it didn't seem like a good time, she had no choice but to say, "I, I have a few words to say to my consort."
Jiahe glanced at Wen Liang, frowned and said, "Auntie, is there something in trouble? If anything happens, you can talk to me. You are a member of our house, and I will always take care of you.
My aunt knows what the situation is like when the consort is in the house now. The master is keeping a close eye on her, so reading and doing business are the most important thing."
She looked at Wen Liang again, affectionately, but she said to Qiao Yuning, "Although I don't care about family affairs, I think I can still handle my aunt's affairs. If my aunt regards me as her own, she will work with me."
Let me tell you!"
Qiao Yuning was a little anxious. She looked at Wen Liang, her eyes full of grievances, and then she shook her head gently.
Wen Liang, however, avoided her gaze. He turned his head and focused his gaze on Jiahe, "The princess is right. If anything happens to you, Aunt Qiao, just tell the princess.
In fact, the princess has always cared about you, so don’t think too hard, now the three of us are a family."
Qiao Yuning stared at Wen Liang blankly. She could hardly believe that this man was actually the man she was going to marry. It was clearly not what she said before.
"Silang!" Seeing that he was about to turn around and go back, Qiao Yuning immediately stopped him.
