The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 36: Sister, don’t you know yet? Mr. Jiang is getting married!
Just then, accompanied by a burst of crisp laughter, a young girl dressed very beautifully walked in from outside the door.
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, a pretty oval face, two big watery dark eyes, cherry pink lips, and a very pretty and lovely appearance, but her eyes revealed a sly and clever look.
She was smiling all the way as if she was very happy, and behind her was a little maid who looked equally smart and well-behaved.
Xue Hui bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Princess Yuying."
The girl came to Jingying with a giggle, and looked her up and down with her big black eyes in an exaggerated manner, then praised with a surprised look: "Sister, you are dressed so beautifully!"
Then he asked the little maid beside him: "Zhu Zi, do you think my sister is pretty?"
The little maid named Zhuzi smiled and nodded: "Yes, beautiful!"
The girl said in a clear voice: "Sister, you are already beautiful, and you will be even more beautiful after dressing up! Father will be very happy to see you!" Then she changed the subject and sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Jiang is not so lucky to marry such a beautiful sister!"
Jingying's face changed when she heard that!
Xue Hui asked, "Why do you say that, Princess?"
The girl smiled and raised her lips, "Sister, don't you know yet? Young Master Jiang is going to get married!
Just now I saw the Jiang family sent a wedding invitation, inviting Dad and Mom to attend the wedding celebration. Oh, yes, I forgot, they only invited the prince and princess to attend. Aunt Du did not receive the invitation, so... naturally she didn't know the news! "
Yuying stopped talking here and observed Jingying's reaction with a smile.
As she expected, Jingying widened her eyes in shock when she heard the news, then secretly clenched her fingers, and her watery eyes released a cold light...
Xue Hui was also shocked and asked, "Are you serious, Princess?!"
Yuying glanced at her and smiled in surprise, "Of course! It's a pity that my sister is so beautiful, well-educated, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Who would have thought that Mr. Jiang didn't have this blessing? Oh, what a pity!"
After saying that, she chuckled and walked away proudly with the little maid!
After the two left, Xue Hui said timidly: "Princess..."
Princess Jingying gritted her teeth and said, "Go ask someone to check why they suddenly changed their minds. I don't believe the Jiang family would marry a woman who would bring disgrace to the family!"
……
Yao Bilian was feeling uneasy at home after seeing Qinghe had failed to find out any news. Suddenly, a maid reported that there was someone outside the door who wanted to see the second Miss Yao.
Yao Bilian frowned impatiently, "Who is it?"
Old woman: "That person said that the second young lady will know once she goes out and sees it."
Yao Bilian followed the old woman to the door with a puzzled look on her face, and saw a pretty girl standing at the bottom of the stairs. Yao Bilian recognized her at a glance as the maid who took them to see Princess Jingying at Prince Jing's Mansion last time.
The girl said, "Miss Yao Er, the princess has something to ask you."
Yao Bilian recalled that she had gone to see him many times but he always avoided her. Now he came to her on his own initiative. She couldn't help but feel angry and said coldly, "Didn't the princess not want to see me? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
The girl smiled and said, "Do you want to know about your mother?"
Yao Bilian had been turned away several times during her recent visits to the prison, but after hearing what she said today, she followed her into the carriage.
After the carriage entered Prince Jing's mansion, the two got off the carriage. The girl took Yao Bilian all the way to the pavilion in the back garden, "Princess, Miss Yao Er is here."
Yao Bilian stepped forward and saluted, "Meet Princess Jingying."
Princess Jingying was wearing a lavender gauze dress and a purple crystal orchid hairpin on her head. Compared to the last time Yao Bilian saw her, she looked a little melancholy and fairy-like.
She smiled and said softly, "Second Miss Yao, I heard that you came to the palace to look for me a few times? I was away on those days because of something, and Duke Qin's granddaughter invited me to her house to chat and reminisce, so I didn't see you. I called you here today to ask you, how is your mother's matter being handled?"
Yao Bilian knelt on the ground and told the whole story of how Li was captured by the government. Then she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "My mother has not been released since she was captured by the government last time. She is still in prison. I came here today to ask the princess to rescue my mother."
After hearing this, Princess Jingying frowned and sighed softly, "To be honest, this matter is very tricky..."
Yao Bilian heard this and said, "Ah? Then what about my mother? Princess, please let my mother out! She was arrested by the government because she worked for the princess!"
Xue Hui scolded from the side: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does your mother's arrest have to do with the princess?"
Jingying glanced at Yao Bilian and suddenly laughed. She stood up, walked up to Yao Bilian, and asked in a very soft and charming voice, "Did I ask the government to arrest your mother?"
"Folk girls don't dare!"
Yao Bilian kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Originally my mother wanted that girl to marry the Jiang family, but because the princess asked her to separate them, my mother was reluctant to give back the betrothal gifts she had received, so she secretly took some and planned to keep it. But the government said it was stolen goods, so they arrested my mother."
Jingying sneered, glanced at Yao Bilian who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly and unhurriedly: "Well, then you want to blame me?"
"I dare not, but I hope the princess can help rescue my mother! Otherwise, if she cannot endure the torture, I am afraid that the princess will be implicated! Other than that, I can't think of anyone else who can help!"
When Yao Bilian said this, she quietly raised her head and looked at Jingying with twinkling eyes.
Xue Hui, who was standing by, scolded her angrily, "How dare you! Yao Bilian, do you dare to threaten the princess when she won't agree to your request?"
"Folk girls don't dare!"
A trace of panic flashed across Yao Bilian's two almond-shaped eyes, and then she made up her mind and said in a hoarse voice: "It's just that my mother is being held in Yingtian Mansion right now. If people find out that she is related to the princess, I'm afraid it will be bad for the princess... And Qinghe doesn't know that she is blocking the princess's way. If she finds out and tells the Jiang family, I'm afraid the princess will have a hard time explaining..."
Yao Bilian was in a hurry and didn't care about anything else. She blurted out everything Li had told her in prison...
Jingying glanced at her with contempt and smiled softly, "Why, do you mean that if I don't help you, you will fight to the death with me?"
Yao Bilian didn't dare to look up, her eyes were fixed on the ground, she said unwillingly: "The princess promised us that if the matter was successful, she would give my mother a sum of money for her old age and help me find a good husband, so my mother agreed to let Qinghe break off the engagement, Master Li can also testify to this!"
"Oh? I didn't expect you still remembered."
Jingying raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, then suddenly changed the subject and said word by word coldly: "But, did your mother do what I asked her to do? Your sister is about to marry into the Jiang family, but you asked me to fulfill your promise? Do you believe that I can keep your mother in there forever?"
Listening to Jingying's threats and reprimands, Yao Bilian lowered her head and remained silent, with a gleam of indignation in her two almond-shaped eyes...
Jingying stood up, glanced at Yao Bilian who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Don't worry, as long as your mother behaves well, I will naturally find a way to rescue her... But if she dares to say a word, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, she walked out without even looking at her. The purple skirt fluttering gently in the wind flashed past Yao Bilian's sight and then disappeared.
Bing Sui, who was standing outside the pavilion, came over and said, "Second Miss Yao, let's go."
Yao Bilian slowly got up from the ground and followed Bingsui out of the pavilion silently.
……
After Jingying and her servant returned to the room, Xuehui whispered, "Princess, could it be that Master Li said something to her? Otherwise, how could she have the courage to say that?"
Jingying thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said in surprise, "Oh no! He must have given that fat woman the idea to ask my sister to ask Mr. Jiang for mercy!"
After that, he gritted his teeth and said, "You are a guy who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!"
At this moment, the maid came in and said, "Princess, Master Li is here."
