"what?"

When Yao Bilian turned around and saw Jiang Yaonian, she pretended to be panicked and said, "Jiang...Mr. Jiang! I didn't say anything just now!"

Yao Furong looked at her second sister's pretentious behavior and thought angrily: I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm just afraid of no good people!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yaonian laughed. He looked at Yao Bilian with a sarcastic expression, "Nothing? Didn't you just say that on purpose for me to hear?"

Ah, now Yao Bilian was really panicked!

Facing the intense and suffocating sense of oppression emanating from Jiang Yaonian's body, Yao Bilian's fair and clean face could not help but flash across with a trace of fear and panic. She whispered hoarsely, "No...nothing!"

"Repeat what you just said!"

Jiang Yaonian's tone sounded calm and cold, but it revealed a hint of oppressive feeling of impending storm.

Yao Bilian stammered, "I... I just heard someone say that Qinghe... was sent back home once, and the driver was... a handsome man..."

After Jiang Yaonian finished listening, his cold gaze skipped over her and fell on Qinghe's face, staring at Qinghe with burning eyes.

Qinghe looked back calmly, with no fear in her clear and sparkling eyes!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Furong turned around and said loudly to Bilian, "Second sister, don't talk nonsense! Last year, my eldest sister went to the prefectural government to do embroidery for several days, and the prefect's wife sent a car to bring my eldest sister back!"

Because Qinghe was famous, officials often sent carriages to invite her, but she never stayed overnight at her employer's home, so it was common for them to send their own carriage drivers to take her back in the evening.

To put it bluntly, Yao Bilian accidentally heard her neighbor Xiaofeng say that she had seen a luxurious carriage taking Qinghe back home, and the driver was a young man, so she blurted it out today, intending to make things difficult for Qinghe, but the situation did not develop as she had imagined, which made her feel a little uneasy...

Because she was not sure whether the man had any affair with Qinghe, she didn't know whether she should continue talking after being confronted by Furong.

Although Jiang Yaonian continued to stare at Qinghe, his eyes were obviously not as aggressive as before.

A guard came over and reported: "Sir, someone from Prince Jing's Mansion asked you to come over for a gathering."

Jiang Yaonian, however, acted as if he had not heard the guard's words and continued to look at Qing He.

The guard reminded cautiously, "Sir, the people from the palace are still waiting outside... They said that if you don't go, they won't be able to report to the emperor."

Qing He glanced at the guards who were in a dilemma, saluted to Jiang Yaonian, and said softly: "Mr. Jiang, goodbye!"

After saying that, he led Yao Furong to the door.

Yao Bilian hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him.

When the three of them arrived at the door, the coachman had been waiting there for a long time.

Just as they were about to get on the car, the driver suddenly turned around and said respectfully behind them: "Mr. Jiang!"

The three were shocked when they heard this. They turned around and found that Jiang Yaonian had come out at some point.

He said to the driver, "Please send the two girls away first. I have something to say to Miss Yao alone."

Without waiting for Qing He to react, he took her hand and walked towards the magnificent carriage parked nearby...

Yao Bilian and Yao Furong were both stunned when they saw this!

After the two got in the car, Yao Furong angrily asked, "Second sister, why did you say that just now!"

After seeing the low-key and luxurious Jiang Mansion and the dignified and kind old lady Jiang, Yao Furong deeply felt that this was a good destination for her eldest sister!

Especially the majestic and intimidating Mr. Jiang and the gentle and beautiful elder sister, they are simply a match made in heaven!

She secretly swore in her heart that she would never allow anyone to ruin this marriage, no matter who it was!

Yao Bilian was now furious because her previous frame-up had failed!

Seeing Yao Furong exposing her shortcomings, she couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Doesn't she know what she did?"

Yao Furong got even angrier after hearing this. "Second sister, I didn't want to say this, but you are just jealous of your eldest sister. She supports the whole family by herself, so how can she be so unfair to you? Why do you treat her like this?"

Yao Bilian said contemptuously: "Humph! Don't think I can't see it! You are so protective of her, isn't it because you see her climbing up the social ladder and want to benefit from it too?"

When it comes to bickering, Yao Furong has never lost to anyone. After hearing Yao Bilian's ridicule, she did not get angry but laughed instead, her two little eyes full of mockery as she said, "Second sister, I really want to take advantage of you, but who told you not to give me this opportunity?

"It was you who went to Green Willow Pavilion first last time, so why didn't she like you? If you were half as pretty as my eldest sister, I'm afraid she wouldn't be sitting in that carriage today, right?"

Yao Furong's words really hit home, and Yao Bilian's face turned even redder with anger!

She didn't care about the risk of being heard by the driver outside, and she cursed: "What do you know, a little beggar! If your mother hadn't been so kind as to take you in, you and your brothers would probably be begging for food somewhere now!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Furong sneered after hearing this and said, "Good intentions? If you hadn't deceived the eldest sister and were afraid that she would become suspicious, would you have been so kind as to take us in?"

Just as the two were arguing over Qing He, the magnificent carriage had arrived at the entrance of the Lvliuxuan Teahouse.

Jiang Yaonian got out of the car first, then silently extended his hand to Qinghe.

Qinghe was stunned when she saw this and thought, doesn't this seem a bit inappropriate?

When he held her hand before getting in the car just now, Qinghe hadn't reacted yet and followed him in a daze. Now she instinctively felt a little resistance and opposition in her heart.

Jiang Yaonian looked at her silently. After hesitating for a moment, Qinghe gritted her teeth, gently stretched out her hand, and placed it on his hand!

Jiang Yaonian held her and with a little force, he took her down from the car.

The two walked into the store, and Dr. Tea came up to them with a smile on his face, and greeted them warmly: "Mr. Jiang, you are here! Please come this way!"

As he spoke, he led the two of them to the elegant pavilion by the window on the second floor. After serving them a pot of fragrant tea and a few plates of snacks, he gently closed the door and left.

It was very quiet inside the Accord. A breeze blew in from the open carved wooden windows, and the air was filled with a fresh scent of grass and trees, which was very comfortable to smell.

The two sat face to face, speechless for a while.

Jiang Yaonian looked at the pretty girl opposite him and thought silently: If the widow hadn't been greedy last time, I should have met this lovely little country girl here.

But after all the trouble, she fell in love with her guard at first sight. It makes me so angry just thinking about it!

If it weren't for the fact that the widow and the little village girl were mother and daughter, he really wanted to teach those crooked-necked mother and daughter a lesson!

He didn't expect that they were so bold as to impersonate him and fool him!

It seems that he is being taken advantage of!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yaonian's expression couldn't help but become even colder...

Seeing his expression, Qinghe thought he was still angry about the strange man who sent her home as Bilian mentioned, so she didn't take it to heart.

Because that man was none other than Guard Zhao who once saved her life and sent her home!

This became a secret memory in Qinghe's heart. She didn't want to share it with anyone, and certainly didn't want to tell it to Mr. Jiang.

At the same time, she was also wondering, what could not be said on the way? Why did she have to come here specially?
