Wen Tingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you think you can ask something from them?"
"It's definitely possible!" Qiao Yuyan's eyes were very sure, "But we need to know what's behind this as soon as possible, and we can't delay."
She directly told Wen Tingyuan about Qiao Yuning. Although he still hid something from her, and Qiao Yuyan felt a little confused, she didn't want to hide the matter. What's more, this matter was no longer between her and Qiao Yuning.
of grievances.
Wen Tingyuan seemed to sigh softly. Qiao Yuyan looked over in confusion, but only saw his gentle eyes, "Okay, I'll let him go right now."
As expected, he went to his study.
It didn't take long, less than half a day, before they had lunch. Qiao Yuyan was looking at the account books delivered from her shop under the window, and Wen Tingyuan was working on something at his desk over there.
A message was sent from Xiao Kua Yuan.
Wen Tingyuan took it over and looked at it with her. Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after reading it, "It's exactly what I guessed."
Wen Tingyuan didn't say anything. He smiled and sighed for a while, "You are really my lucky star."
Qiao Yuyan didn't react, so he pinched her nose gently.
"The powder is all gone!" She frowned and reached out to open his hand, complaining in her words.
Wen Tingyuan was in a good mood and put the things in his arms with a smile, "I'll take care of the things outside. You watch that."
After saying that, he stood up and took two steps out. Suddenly he paused again, "Be careful."
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh, "What else is going on at home?! Don't worry! Shi Ye is following me!"
After he left, Qiao Yuyan made a careful calculation, counted the time and squinted for a while, then called Shiye and Qixi up, and went to the small yard behind.
Two little maids were roasting taro around the stove, muttering to each other about the people in the room, "It's so pitiful. She's so good-looking, but she's still a lady from an official family, and she ended up in this situation."
"Although she is a lady from an official family, she is still a concubine. She has a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law above her. They all wish her bad luck. There is nothing we can do about it. I just don't know what will happen to her in the end."
After just one listen, Qiao Yuyan knew that there were two more fools among the people who had successfully brainwashed Qiao Yuning.
Qixi gave a gentle kowtow, and the two little girls were immediately as frightened as quails. When they saw that Qiao Yuyan was coming, they were even more afraid to express their anger.
Qiao Yuyan just glanced at them and said, "It's cold. If you don't have enough charcoal, just burn more pots. If you don't have enough charcoal, just go to Mother Shen. Don't freeze in vain."
The two maids were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand Qiao Yuyan's words. When they remembered to say thank you, Qiao Yuyan had already helped him to the small room over there.
The house was locked from the outside, and there were people watching at the courtyard door.
Qiao Yuning is a delicate young lady after all. If you give her a chance, she won't be able to escape alone.
Qixi stepped forward, took the key and opened the door.
There was a musty smell when she pushed it open, so Shi Ye dusted it for her before letting her in.
The windows in this house are all nailed shut, so no sunlight can come in.
There was no charcoal pot in the house, so it was like an ice cellar in the cold.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Yuning suddenly sat up on the bed deep in the room.
Probably because it was too cold, she wrapped all the quilts thickly around her body, leaving only one face exposed.
Nowadays, there is no one to serve her. The two little ones outside only deliver food and vegetables, and change the toilet every day. They don't care about other things, and they don't dare to care too much.
Therefore, the second girl of the Qiao family, who used to be delicate and beautiful, is now unkempt and disheveled, without even half of her former glory.
But when she saw Qiao Yuyan, she immediately yelled, "Qiao Yuyan! You don't deserve to die! You did this to me! You locked me up here! You vicious woman!"
Qiao Yuyan's eyes were still looking at the yard.
At this time, Qiao Yuning reminded her of herself in her previous life.
She was locked up like this in her previous life, and has been locked up forever.
But what makes her even worse than Qiao Yuning is that she was already cold when she was locked up. In addition to the illness of Sister Shengmin, she was locked up just to wait for death.
She remembered that time, but she accidentally bumped into Mrs. Wen. Wen Liang immediately rushed out and said that she was disrespectful to her mother-in-law, and then talked about all the trivial things she encountered after marrying.
She had just been wronged for a long time, so she started to quarrel with them, and this quarrel entered the small courtyard.
At first, she thought she would just be locked up for a day or two, but she would be let out after all. After all, she was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Wen family. Even for the sake of the Wen family's face, they would not keep her locked up like this.
Unexpectedly, the days really passed by like this, one day, two days, one month and two months. Her condition became worse and worse, and she could not even get out of bed, and no one came to see her.
The only good thing was that I could occasionally see a few maids and women walking around in the yard. She could still hear a few gossips while she was lying on the bed.
The days went by like this, and if she hadn't still had a child, she might have died long ago. Who would have thought that Sister Min would be gone too.
Qiao Yuyan's eyes fell on Qiao Yuning's face, unmoved by what she just said.
She just looked at her steadily, "How does it feel to be locked up? You have had a taste of it."
Qiao Yuning's eyes were cracked, "Qiao Yuyan! Why are you locking me up?! I know you hate me in your heart, but that's because you have no ability. Your own mother doesn't like you, but she likes me. What does this mean? This is what it means.
It's just that you're not lovable, otherwise, you can just hate your biological mother. Why do you hate me?!
Isn't it because of this that you are always against me? I don't even think about it. Is it because of me that you were taken away by that old guy from the Xu family? In the years when you were gone, I was the one who fulfilled your filial piety and supported your happiness.
My dear, you are just jealous of me, jealous that I am better than you in everything, that’s why you don’t like me!”
At this time, Qiao Yuning's hair was disheveled and her appearance was disheveled. Only her eyes were full of hatred.
Qiao Yuyan looked at her and knew that what she said was actually for herself, because only in this way could she attribute all her current results to Qiao Yuyan, which would give her the courage to live.
Therefore, Qiao Yuyan was not angry. She walked over slowly and sat down on a chair brought over by Qixi Festival. "The master has promised Brother Liang that as long as he concentrates on studying hard and no longer cares about those messy things,
I will also forgive him and plan a future for him."
Qiao Yuning frowned slightly, looking at Qiao Yuyan with a little doubt, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Yuyan still looked at her with a faint smile.
