The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 55: Lies Exposed
After seeing Jiang Yaonian off, Princess Jing went to bed in a very happy mood.
After Jiang Yaonian returned from Prince Jing's Mansion, he did not tell anyone about this.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at Qing He who was sleeping...
She looked younger than her actual age when she was asleep, with a clear and lovely childish look. Her long black hair was scattered on the pillow, and her beautiful oval face was as charming as a hibiscus flower. The only flaw was... well...
Jiang Yaonian felt that this matter could not be entirely blamed on her.
After all, there was a big age gap between them. Judging from the birth certificate that Li had exchanged, she was nearly ten years younger than him. She had no experience in sex, so it was inevitable that she was a little shy and afraid.
So he planned to take it slow and not rush!
At this moment, Qing He, who was in her sleep, suddenly turned over and mumbled indistinctly, "...Really?"
Jiang Yaonian was stunned. What was she talking about?
But he only said this, and then there was no movement.
Jiang Yaonian stood up, tucked in the corner of the quilt for Qinghe who was sleeping soundly, then lowered the bed curtain, quietly opened the door and went out.
The four personal guards who were guarding outside followed behind him.
Among the maids on duty at night, two were dozing off. The other two who were still awake heard the noise and hurried out to see what was going on. They saw Jiang Yaonian and a few others going out in the dark night.
"Oh my god, he didn't stay with the bride for two consecutive nights on the wedding night. It seems that there is something wrong!"
The two old women looked at each other, and then nodded in understanding!
They all had the same thought in their minds: Haha, here comes the opportunity to make a fortune!
……
Yao's house.
Yao Furong, a thin girl, got off the carriage and trotted to the house where Yao Chengzu lived. "Chengzu, how is she? Is she home?"
Yao Chengzu, who was wiping a dagger, shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "No, I asked the maids and servants around her, but no one knew where she went."
Yao Furong sat down on the chair and asked anxiously, "What's going on? How could a living person disappear?"
Yao Chengzu frowned and asked, "Could he have been taken away by someone?"
"Taken away by whom?"
Yao Chengzu said slowly, word by word: "Since the eldest sister's family has found her now, they will definitely find an opportunity to take the second sister and her daughter away for interrogation."
Yao Furong was shocked and said, "Chengzu, will we be in danger too? After all, we are both insiders."
Yao Chengzu was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know. I can only stay out of the spotlight for the time being."
"Where to hide then?"
"The only safe place now is probably my eldest sister's house."
……
As the sky brightened, Qinghe woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw that the pillow next to her was empty. She couldn't help feeling a little lost, knowing that Jiang Yaonian did not come back last night.
She sat up sullenly, staring blankly at the corner of the bed...
Did he visit the princess again last night... and stay there overnight?
Qinghe frowned and let out a long sigh!
She didn't want to think about this problem too deeply, she just felt very anxious and irritated!
After being in a daze for a while, she got up sullenly and changed her clothes.
After she finished washing up, Xia'er asked her if she wanted to go over and have breakfast with the old lady, or if she wanted the food to be sent from the kitchen so she could eat in her room.
Qing He shook her head and said quietly, "I don't want to eat. Go over and pay my respects."
Xia'er accompanied her to the upper room.
As soon as she entered the door, Qing He still had a vague expectation in her heart, thinking that Jiang Yaonian might be having breakfast with his grandmother, just like yesterday. So when she walked to the door and the maid lifted the curtain, she felt both nervous and expectant!
But when they went in and took a look, they saw only Old Madam Jiang sitting alone in front of the long table, chatting and laughing with the maids beside her.
Seeing her come in, Madam Jiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, didn't I tell you to eat alone over there? Why did you come here again? Come and sit down!"
After Qinghe greeted her, she sat down gently at the right side of Madam Jiang.
The maids brought back a new set of bowls and chopsticks. Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Today we have fresh and tender fried silver knife fish for porridge. You must try it. I told Xing'er to tell the kitchen to make a special portion for you in the evening. I didn't expect you to come. Where's Nian'er? Why didn't he come with you?"
Qinghe was stunned and speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Xia Er, who was standing by, replied respectfully, "Madam, Young Master Nian had something else to do and couldn't leave, so he couldn't come with Madam."
Qinghe, who was originally a little nervous, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this!
The old lady treated her very kindly, without any airs of a wealthy old lady. Qinghe didn't want to disappoint her!
Although there were some rifts between her and Jiang Yaonian, she didn't want the old man to know, so Xia'er helped her out.
Madam Jiang sighed, "Alas, how could he be so busy just one day after the wedding that he didn't even have time to accompany his wife! I'm going to have a good talk with him when I get back. No matter how busy he is, he can't neglect his new wife!"
When Qing He heard this, she was so panicked that her eyes immediately widened!
She quickly spoke out to stop him, "Grandma, no need! I don't mind Mr. Jiang being busy at all! This way, I can have more time to accompany you!"
Madam Jiang smiled lovingly and said, "Hey, I'm fine. The main thing is that you two shouldn't always be alone. Yesterday I was wondering why he came here alone. When I asked him, I found out that he had just returned from outside. He thought you were here too, so he came straight here."
Qinghe was stunned and felt mixed emotions.
She knew that Jiang Yaonian didn't want her grandmother to know about the rift between them, so he tried to cover it up, and even showed his kindness to her in front of her grandmother, making the old lady think that he and she had a good relationship...
Thinking of this, Qinghe couldn't help but sigh in her heart!
At this moment, the maid came in and said, "The two cousins are here."
A gentle voice said, "Aunt, sister Yujing and I are here to pay our respects to you."
Soon after, two young girls came in. One was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a very tender dress with a crabapple flower pattern. She looked a little quiet and old-fashioned, with a long face and big eyes. She came over to pay her respects to Madam Jiang.
The other one was a little younger, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a neat light yellow dress, with a square face, small eyes, and fair skin. She looked quite lively and also came forward to greet Madam Jiang.
Madam Jiang introduced them, "Dongzhi, Yujing, this is your cousin's wife."
"Hello, cousin!"
The two men bowed to Qinghe and then sat down on the chairs opposite.
Mrs. Jiang chatted with them for a few words, and then Qinghe stood up and said goodbye.
Not long after coming out, Qing He said to Xia Er, "I want to take a walk in the garden."
After hearing about it, Xia'er accompanied her to Xiangxuewu. It was the season when white peonies were in full bloom. The snow-white peonies as big as bowls were set against the emerald green leaves, looking very beautiful.
Xia Er introduced as they walked: "This variety is called Fengxuedan, and it is a specially cultivated variety. The other three gardens are planted with white lotus, white chrysanthemum, and white plum blossoms. They are all carefully cultivated by skilled craftsmen, but it's not the season yet."
Qinghe nodded and concentrated on appreciating the peony flowers in front of her. All her worries were thrown behind her, and she thought that she could embroider a peony painting when she returned to capture this beautiful scenery.
After they strolled around the garden for a while, they walked back. Unexpectedly, they ran into Liu Dongzhi and Liu Yujing, who also came. They smiled and greeted them, "Cousin, you are in a good mood. Come and enjoy the flowers."
Qing He smiled faintly and responded, "Yes, I came out for a walk, and I'll be back soon."
After hearing this, Liu Dongzhi showed an understanding look on her face and said gently, "Yes, it's good to go out and relax. Now that the weather is warm, it's boring to stay in the house all the time. You should go out more often. But why didn't my cousin come with his wife?"
Qing He said calmly, "He is busy and not at home."
Liu Yujing said in surprise, "But when we came, we saw the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion parked at the door. Sister Liu even asked the housekeeper and he said they were here to pick up my cousin. His princess wanted to invite my cousin to come over."
