Chapter 147
The next day.
Qiao Nian gave Jing Yan the invitation from Taifu.
The two of them were sitting on the roof. The sunshine here was very good. Jing Yan looked over the greeting card several times in the sunshine, but still couldn't figure it out, "Why would Taifu personally send a greeting card to Qiu Yu?"
Logically speaking, for the sake of kinship, the Taifu can support a poor person who cannot be supported, and can also wipe his butt occasionally, but there is no reason for the Taifu to interfere with his marriage.
Who doesn't know that Qiu Yu is a bastard? What good family would marry their daughter to him?
To put it another way, even if the Taifu really intervened, he would only be looking for someone whose family background was not so prestigious, but who was eager to cling to the Taifu's house.
How did you find the Hou Mansion and Qiao Nian?
Thinking of this, Jing Yan rubbed the mark on his head without giving up, "But, this is indeed the seal of the Grand Tutor."
Qiao Nian took the greeting card over and sighed slightly, "I don't know, maybe Taifu has his own plan? However, since it is Taifu who comes forward, Qiu Yu doesn't dare to mess around if he wants to come. I have already agreed Gone.”
Jing Yan felt that what Qiao Nian said made sense, and nodded slightly, but still felt uneasy, "Then, remember to bring two boys with you! Bring Ningshuang with you too. I think that although she is young, she has thick bones. Her strength must be different from ordinary people, and she is also smart and alert. If you are really in danger, she will definitely be able to block you for a while! "
Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but widen her eyes. Seeing Jing Yan's serious face, she couldn't hold back her laughter after all, "You are so brave. If these words are ignored, Shuang listened, but he won’t let it go!”
Jing Yan couldn't help but raise his lips, glanced at Ningshuang who was washing clothes with Jing Rou under the eaves, and couldn't help but smile, "I know you won't take her there, that's why you're just joking like this."
Although Qiao Nian kept saying that there might not be any danger, the other party was Qiu Yu after all.
She didn't want Ningshuang to go through anything bad.
Qiao Nian heard worry from Jing Yan's tone, so she rested her head on his shoulder, reached out and touched the peace pendant around her neck, "With your peace pendant, I will be fine."
Three days later.
Qiao Nian came to Taifu's Mansion as promised.
People outside the Taifu's Mansion looked at the greeting card in Qiao Nian's hand and couldn't help showing some strange expressions. Just as they were about to say something, two servants rushed out from the mansion and saluted Qiao Nian, "I have seen Qiao Nian before." Girl, my master has prepared a sumptuous meal, just waiting for Miss Qiao to come to the table, please come here."
The boy looked polite and polite. Qiao Nian nodded slightly and followed him in.
But thinking about the expressions of the two guards outside the house just now, she still felt a little uneasy, so she deliberately slowed down her pace and whispered to Wang Er behind her, "You will stand at the door in a moment. If anything goes wrong, , run immediately."
Although she always felt that Qiu Yu couldn't do anything in Taifu's mansion, if anything happened, Wang Er could immediately run out and bring in reinforcements.
Wang Er followed Qiao Nian and nodded, lowering his voice and saying, "Don't worry, Miss."
The low voice really made Qiao Nian feel at ease.
Just walking, Qiao Nian gradually felt something was wrong, "This is not the way to the front hall."
The boy who was leading the way took her further and further away. Even though she had never been to the Tutor's Mansion, she knew that the front hall must not be in that direction.
But the young man turned around and responded respectfully, "Miss Qiao, this banquet is for the wedding of the second young master. The banquet will naturally be held in the second room."
It turns out that this makes some sense. After all, entertaining her is not a big deal, and there is indeed no need to do it in the front hall.
However, Qiao Nian couldn't help but look back at Wang Er, and saw that the latter also frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little uneasy like her.
Not long after, Qiao Nian arrived at the yard of Qiu's second room.
The first person to greet him was a woman in luxurious clothes. She was smiling all over her face. Before Qiao Nian could salute, she stepped forward and took Qiao Nian's hand. "Is this Miss Qiao? Ouch, I Just tell me why my Yu'er has always been obsessed with the girl. When we saw her today, she was really as beautiful as a fairy!"
With such words, if you meet a Xiaojiabiyu who never leaves home, you will probably blush immediately and believe her.
But Qiao Nian just took out her hand from the woman's hand very calmly, bowed and saluted, "Qiao Nian has met the Second Madam."
Seeing that it was no use trying to please her like this, the second lady's face froze slightly, but she still enthusiastically welcomed Qiao Nian into the house.
As soon as he entered the hall, Qiao Nian saw Qiu Yu.
He raised his chin slightly and bowed in salute when he saw Qiao Nian, still looking like a beast in clothes.
Qiao Nian snorted coldly in his heart, returned the salute, and then said, "I wonder when the Master will arrive?"
The second lady's expression remained unchanged, "The Grand Tutor just sent a message. He only said that today is busy with government affairs and it will be a little late. He asked me to wait and eat first. Don't neglect you, girl."
After saying that, the second lady shouted, "Come here, serve the food!"
Before long, the table was filled with delicacies.
The second lady winked at Qiu Yu, and then she saw Qiu Yu standing up with a glass of wine, "Qiu was reckless and rude a few days ago, and offended the girl. Today, I specially apologize to the girl. I hope you will, sir." A lot, regardless of past grudges.”
After saying that, Qiu Yu drank the wine in the cup.
The second lady also helped to talk, "Yu'er's temper is a little impatient, but his heart is not bad. Miss Qiao, you..."
While speaking, the Second Madam glanced at the wine cup in front of Qiao Nian, obviously indicating Qiao Nian to forgive Qiu Yu and drink the wine in front of her.
Qiao Nian smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and picked up the wine cup, "I didn't expect that Mr. Qiu would actually let the Master come forward to apologize to me, which makes me look petty! Please forgive me for my careless words that day."
Qiao Nian said, and was about to put the wine cup to her mouth, but before she could drink it, she suddenly frowned and cried out in pain, "Ouch."
This sudden scene startled the Second Madam and Qiu Yu.
"What's wrong with Miss Qiao?"
She clearly didn't drink the wine!
Qiao Nian frowned, "Maybe, I was greedy on the way here just now and ate a piece of cake. Now I have unbearable abdominal pain... I wonder where the toilet is?"
Qiao Nian watched Qiu Yu and the Second Madam's faces flash with disgust.
But the second lady's expression changed very quickly. She stood up with a concerned face and said to the maid beside her, "Quick, take Miss Qiao away!"
A maid responded and Qiao Nian followed the maid out the door with embarrassment.
Until her back disappeared around the corner, Qiu Yu couldn't help but sneer, "If it weren't for the old man's words, I wouldn't look down on her!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The second lady lowered her voice and shouted, "She's still at the door!"
What if the servant brought by Qiao Nian heard it?
Thinking of this, the second lady couldn't help but look at the door, but where was the figure of the servant outside the door?
"It's bad!" The second lady frowned, "The girl ran away! Go chase her!"
