Even though she had planned it long ago, Qiao Yuyan was still panicking at this moment. She was not expecting to be beaten!
Just as she was thinking about how to hide, she felt her biological father's cold fingers brush against the corner of her mouth, and then she saw him rubbing his thumb and index finger before spreading them out in front of her, his tone full of disbelief.
"Candied haws?"
Qiao Yuyan quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth vigorously. Sure enough, she saw a touch of red on her handkerchief under the light, and her cheeks heated up with embarrassment. "This... I just bumped into it on the way here."
"Humph! I don't know what to say." Qiao Weisheng was so upset by this that she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. She had caused such a big fight, and most of the people in the capital were alarmed, but she still had the thoughts to do it.
Eat candied haws?!
But inexplicably, he was not as angry as he was before. Looking at his somewhat embarrassed daughter in front of him, he frowned and asked, "How could you do such a thing?"
Finally got to the point.
Qiao Yuyan cleared her throat, "Dad, do you think your daughter did something wrong today?"
"Are you still reasonable?"
"Then it makes sense for Prince An to let his dogs chase me down the lotus pond?"
"But he is Prince An!"
"But I am also a child of the Earl's Mansion, and I am still a girl!" Qiao Yuyan said with a matter-of-fact expression, "He is a man, he actually embarrasses me like this, and he doesn't allow me to take revenge and go back?"
When Qiao Weisheng heard what she said, he immediately reacted in his heart, "What do you mean..."
Seeing that her father understood what she meant, Qiao Yuyan said very seriously: "This was originally a child's play. He couldn't stand me at the time, so he teased me. I was so angry that I took the trick back, that's all."
Ah! No one asked me, he and I must like each other!"
The anger on Qiao Weisheng's face gradually disappeared and turned serious.
Seeing her father pondering, Qiao Yuyan continued: "Dad, Prince An is so popular in the capital because Your Majesty and the Queen like him. But after all, he has not yet entered the court as an official and has no actual duties. Princess Danyang's Mansion has long been
He has already faded away from the center of power. There are several officials in the Prince Consort’s Palace who either have low official positions or are serving empty posts. Dad, you are the Minister of Rites. Do you think the Princess Palace is willing to be an enemy of our family?”
Qiao Weisheng was still listening to her daughter quietly. Qiao Yuyan became more and more courageous, "What happened last time involved my face as a girl's family. Even if the princess's family doesn't want to be against us, it's not easy to make a big deal about it."
Come to explain, after all, it is related to my reputation among women.
But it’s different now. If I liked him, why would I do such a thing? Then the grievances between the two of us can be attributed to children’s fights. Don’t they also have steps in their house? "
When Qiao Weisheng saw her saying these words, his eyes were bright and his face was slightly glowing, a look he had never seen before. His heart became softer, but there was still no smile on his face.
But he snorted coldly and said, "You have a good plan."
"Don't you think what I said makes sense?"
Qiao Yuyan asked in return, making her speechless when asked about her father.
I have to say that what she said makes sense. In the case of Prince An, of course he knew that his daughter was framed, but the maid was already dead, and she was dead without any evidence.
But people outside didn't know that the daughter's request to Prince An was ignored and was humiliated, which has always been the subject of others' gossip.
Even after a long time, it is still there. If someone wants to slander her in the future, this old score will still be reopened, and it will indeed have a considerable impact on the reputation of the Qiao family girls.
Acting like this now, although reckless, is well-organized. It not only leaves room for the adults of the two families to resolve their grudges, but also curbs the gossip that she covets Prince An.
After all, if you covet him, how could you do such a thing to him?
If you think about it carefully, your daughter's behavior can actually be called brave and resourceful.
Just looking at her somewhat smug look, I couldn't believe that she had grown such a majestic person since then. She deliberately said with a straight face: "Then you can't be so arrogant. Look, your second aunt is scared by you."
What happened."
Qiao Yuyan smiled sheepishly and said, "I'll go to Second Aunt's place myself tomorrow to pour tea to calm her down."
Qiao Weisheng waved his hand angrily, "I've been working hard all day and I don't feel tired yet. Go back and rest quickly!"
"Okay, thank you dad."
Qiao Yuyan did not go back to Qingxitai immediately. Instead, she went to Ninghetang first and told the old lady everything, so that she would not worry.
After hearing what she said, the old lady who had been guarding her for most of the day just curled her lips and said, "You are so brave. If you are tricked by someone, you will cry again! Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he kicked her out, and she didn't care. She smiled and went to Mrs. Xu's place.
As soon as I crossed the threshold of the courtyard, I heard the maid on the door saying that the master was inside, so she simply didn't go in and turned back to Qingxi Terrace.
After this matter was dealt with, she felt relieved. Otherwise, how could she be happy with so many rumors surrounding her?
But I'm afraid I'll have to follow Qiao Weisheng to the Princess Mansion early in the morning tomorrow to apologize. I don't know what kind words Prince An can say.
But he is not afraid, after all, his biological father is still here!
Seeing that her girl was not worried at all, the maid at Qingxitai naturally let go of her worries and continued to work in an orderly manner.
The next day, Qiao Yuyan had breakfast and went to Ninghe Hall to pay her respects. On the way, she met Qiao Yuning and Qiao Yurong.
"Morning." She greeted lightly, ignoring the eagerness on their faces and still moving forward.
But in the end, he was still blocked by someone, "Qiao Yuyan, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill the whole family?"
Qiao Yurong was so frightened that everyone was trembling last night, and the banquet was completely ruined. She thought that the eldest princess would be angry and wanted to call all the Qiao family over to scold her, so she was trembling with fear all the time.
But Qiao Yuyan, the instigator, was nowhere to be seen. If the eldest princess hadn't sent a message later asking them to come back first, she would have cried on the spot.
But even after returning home, she couldn't sleep. If she wasn't scolded on the spot, she wouldn't be called again later, but the Qiao girl's future was completely ruined.
After offending Prince An and doing such shocking things, who would dare to marry their girl?!
So the little good impression she had towards Qiao Yuyan before was all gone now. Qiao Yurong just wanted to tear up this cousin who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Qiao Yuning on the side also frowned, "Sister, you...why are you so impulsive! How difficult it is for you to call me a daddy!"
In fact, there was no news in the mansion about what happened yesterday. There were many servants coming and going at the moment. Although Qiao Weisheng punished him last time, no one dared to talk about it.
But as soon as I heard this conversation, I knew that something happened yesterday. Gossip is also a human nature. Those people below had no expression on their faces, but their ears were still elongated. This chapter has been completed!
