Princess In Prosperous Age - C82 Fall into an Ice Lake
However, Nan Li took the chance to grab Qiao Liangjin’s three fingers and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and took a deep sniff of her hair, then suddenly let go and left the yard.
Qiao Liangjin was obviously not able to react to this. It was only until she somewhat reacted that she gritted her teeth and said, “The next time I see you, I will definitely scam you to death.”
Then he pointed at the fake mountain and yelled, “Lu Li, if you dare to write it down, do you believe that I won’t let you see the sun tomorrow?”
With a bitter face, he thought for a while before writing, “Today, the Sixth Prince of South Li met up with Miss Qiao, gave her a hug, and then left. My lord, Miss Qiao said that I won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow. Sigh, if I can’t see it, then I won’t.”
The note was sent to Su Chen, who had just left the palace. His long eyebrows slowly relaxed. To Nan Li, the mountains were more important than the beauties. It seemed like Qiao Liangjin had played the right move.
After clearing everything and getting ready to board the carriage, a figure wearing a white cloak gradually approached his carriage.
He only glanced at them before boarding the carriage. With a deep voice, he said, “Anyone who blocks the way will not stop. Return to the Duke’s Mansion now.”
As the white cloak neared the carriage, the clanging sound was heard, and a frown appeared on his face.
“Clear, clear, it’s me.” The voice coming out from under the white cloak was clear and melodious, especially melodious.
However, the cleared carriage did not stop and gradually moved further away.
The little white face under the white cloak was full of resentment, as it watched the carriage leaving.
Another carriage slowly drove past Nan Gong but it stopped right there. A servant girl dressed in pink got off the carriage and walked towards Nan Gong as she spoke: “Is this Miss Nan Gong? My princess wishes to invite you to tea. ”
No matter how she looked at it, she was still a servant girl. Since she did not have any friends in the capital, suddenly someone invited her to tea. She was curious and bold, wanting to see who it was, so she happily followed the servant girl into the carriage.
In the carriage sat a beautiful woman. She had an oval face, a straight nose, and long narrow eyes. She seemed to be the daughter of a noble family.
Nangong sat down at the side. He tilted his head and asked, “Who are you?”
The woman passed the hand stove in her hand to Nangong. She revealed a faint smile and said, “We should be friends, right?”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t like that Qiao Liangjin either.” The woman slowly spoke up.
As soon as they arrived at the mansion, they received news that Nangong had boarded Yu Linglong’s carriage. They had followed her for a long distance, so they couldn’t hear what they were talking about. However, when they reached Luo Yuan Tower, the two women went up to eat tea and then separated.
Clearing the brush in his hand, he smiled, “The enemy of an enemy is his friend. This Yu Linglong really makes people worry. Tell Miss Qiao to be careful.”
The guard quickly left the room.
Qiao Liangjin brought Yu Sheng, who had transformed into a fox, to the Plum Forest in the rear garden and admired the plum blossom. Through the wall, he could hear Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya conversing.
Qiao Yin’s slightly high-pitched voice complained, “Ya’er, why do you think Third Madame came back? I can see that her mother’s complexion is very pale today. Did she cause trouble the moment she returned?”
“Wasn’t it that annoying Qiao Liangjin who went to the study last night to talk to Father? Father went to look for Mother in the middle of the night to settle the score and Mother cried for half the night. Then, at daybreak, we started to find someone to clean up Tranquil Heart Garden.”
“That Qiao Xinting seems to be on the same side as Qiao Liangjin …”
“Hmph, push her into the icy lake one day. When others find her, it will be spring.” Qiao Ya’s voice was filled with malice.
Qiao Liangjin’s brows slowly furrowed.
Qiao Liangjin quietly leaned against the Plum Blossom Tree. He placed the Silver Fox on the tree trunk and laughed, “Let’s watch a good show later.”
Sure enough, Qiao Xinting probably found Qiao Liangjin in the Flower Lover Pavilion. The maids said that she was admiring the plum before running over here to look for her.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya smiled as they blocked Qiao Xinting’s path.
Qiao Xinting took two steps back and asked with a smile on her face, “Second sister, third sister, is there something you need?”
“Xin Ting, I’ve been back for a few days. Why didn’t you greet us when you went to greet your big sister?” Isn’t she treating us as sisters? ”
Qiao Xinting was shocked, but she still maintained a smile on her face as she replied, “Sister is not feeling well. I’m afraid that I might infect the sisters, so I didn’t go. Please forgive me, sister.”
Qiao Ya walked forward with a beaming smile and held Qiao Xinting’s hand. She said coldly, “Look at little sister’s cold hands. Second sister, aren’t we going to look for Siyuan and play hide-and-seek together? Xin Ting, do you want to go with me? ”
Qiao Xinting tried to pull her hand away, but found that Qiao Ya was holding it tightly.
Although Qiao Xin Ting had not interacted much with Qiao Ya and Qiao Yin before, she had been able to read the expressions on their faces since she was young. How could she not see the malice on their faces?
Struggling to retreat, he didn’t expect that Qiao Yin would step forward and grab her other arm. Still wearing the same fake smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he pulled Qiao Xinting towards the pond behind the fake mountain.
Qiao Xinting retreated with all her might and shook her head. With a trembling voice, she cried, “I …” “I’m not going …”
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya shot each other a glance. Their expressions suddenly turned malevolent. Their usual delicate appearance no longer remained. They viciously pulled Qiao Xinting towards the fake mountain.
He used his mouth to lightly stroke the back of Qiao Liangjin’s head. Qiao Liangjin turned around and rubbed the top of his head, and said softly: “It’s not time yet, I’ll let Qiao Xinting know how terrifying this Prime Minister’s Residence is. It’s not like she can let her off just because she has nothing to do with the world.”
He had been a monster for hundreds of years, but he had only whistled through the forest and the mountains. He did not have so many scheming and scheming, nor did he have so many steps to take.
Qiao Liangjin turned his head and looked at the two ladies who were originally Lady Jiao and dragged the other petite figure towards the pond. She slowly took off her cloak and hung it on a tree.
She forcefully bit her lips to prevent herself from shouting out loud. She shook her head with all her might and quietly begged, “Sisters, I was wrong, I was wrong. I beg you to let me go. My mother is still sick, I still need to go back and take care of my mother …”
Qiao Liangjin was like a gust of wind as he stood beside the pool and smiled at the three of them.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya had their backs facing Qiao Liangjin and did not realize that Qiao Liangjin was behind them. They continued to pull Qiao Xinting towards the side of the pool. Qiao Xinting’s panic-stricken heart, upon seeing Qiao Liangjin’s smiling face, unexpectedly broke down in tears and stopped struggling.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya were admiring Qiao Xinting’s begging appearance. Qiao Xinting was actually smiling. They thought that she was scared out of her wits and had gone into a state of stupor. Qiao Yin clicked her tongue and said, “Third sister, look at her appearance. She couldn’t have gone mad from fright, could she?”
“Who are you saying is crazy?” Qiao Liangjin’s clear voice sounded from behind Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya originally had a guilty conscience. When they heard this voice, they instantly released Qiao Xinting’s arm and stood rooted to the spot.
Qiao Xinting was relieved. She didn’t cry like the television had described. She rushed over to hug Qiao Liangjin. Instead, she wiped away her tears and stubbornly raised her head as she sobbed, “Big sister, I’m fine.”
Qiao Liangjin’s heart was suddenly twisted. Was he feeling sorry for this small, strong body?
Only then did Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya hurriedly turn around with faces full of panic.
Qiao Yin looked at Qiao Ya. She did her best to appear calm as she said, “We are having fun with Xin Ting.”
Qiao Ya immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, I wonder where Siyuan has gone to. We’ll pull Xining along to look for Siyuan together. Big Sis, did you see Siyuan?”
Qiao Liangjin also nodded seriously and replied, “I saw it. He really did see it. He was hiding it at the place where he fell from the fake mountain the last time. “Oh, that’s right. Qiao Ya, you said that you haven’t taken any medicine for two months. Do you feel that half of your body is out of control?”
Qiao Ya’s face immediately changed. Ever since the last time Qiao Liangjin fed her medicine, she refused to believe that it was poison, so every full moon day of the month, she shakily passed by. She realized that she didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with her body, so she gradually relaxed.
Hearing Qiao Liangjin’s words, her face turned ashen, then turned pale. She couldn’t help but kneel down and cry, “Big sister, I was wrong. I will never bully anyone ever again. Please let me go, big sister.”
Qiao Yin did not know that Qiao Ya had been poisoned. When she heard the conversation and saw that Qiao Ya was kneeling on the ground, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Qiao Liangjin in fear, afraid that Qiao Liangjin’s medicine would be thrown into her mouth.
Qiao Liangjin smiled and walked step by step back until he reached the icy surface of the pond.
Qiao Xinting panicked and tried to stop her, “Big Sister, the ice is not thick yet …”
Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded at Qiao Xingran and stood at the thinnest spot in the middle of the pool. He opened his arms and said to Qiao Xinting: “Go to the study room and call father over.”
Qiao Xin Ting did not know what Qiao Liangjin was up to and could only nod her head. She then lifted up her skirt and hastily ran towards Qiao Zheng’s study.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya blankly watched Qiao Liangjin retreat onto the ice. They looked at each other, unsure of what Qiao Liangjin was going to do next.
Qiao Liangjin raised his head and looked at the snowy sky. He paused slightly, but his lower body used a thousand jin pendant. With a “kala” sound, Qiao Liangjin’s figure disappeared from the surface of the water.
For some reason, before the winter, the pool had been filled with a lot of water. The water that once only reached Qiao Liangjin’s chest had now reached above her head.
