The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 95 What... a shady business?

"If you get into trouble, who will clean up the mess for you?"

Qiao Xian said calmly with a cheerful face: "He likes this face, but he can't see through the difference in the person behind the face. I want to scare him and see if he dares to like it so superficially!"

"What's this? So what if he likes this face, so what if he doesn't? It has nothing to do with you anyway!" The old man was furious.

"My father, you don't know that there is someone in this mansion who can see through my daughter's face! I think he must like the owner of this face very much. It's not easy for others to see it, but he can see it. Doesn't it explain everything?"

"So you want to marry someone who sees through you. Do you know who he is? How ridiculous your actions are?" the old man said without hesitation.

"Everyone loves beauty. What you are doing is nothing but putting yourself in an embarrassing situation. It is seriously causing you to be killed! It is not easy for us to live. Even if we have learned the art of disguise, we should not use it like this!"

She sneered proudly: "I married him just to teach him a lesson. When I calm down, I will let him go naturally."

"Teach him a lesson. Why?" The old man paused, afraid that she would say something outrageous.

Thinking of that handsome face with calm eyes, she was furious. She said bitterly, "He doesn't like me, as if he can see through me. Although I am angry, I know that he is temporarily unable to expose my true face. Because he has concerns, I also want to play a trick on him!"

She glanced at Silang lying on the ground again, "If I were the same as him, there wouldn't be so many changes, but it just so happens..."

"Sometimes, love is not as simple as just looking at the appearance. You should understand the truth that 'pearls and jade are hard to replace with tiles and stones'. Appearance cannot replace everything. Even the demeanor, body shape, every little movement, and subtle expression will be exposed in front of acquaintances."

Qiao Xian disagreed. "I don't think he is that familiar with the owner of this face. Instead, he is always gloomy and contradictory... Oh, it was only when she left the house and he found out that she was a princess that he changed his attitude."

"Alas... you still don't understand even if I tell you so much! Forget it, I have something to do, you should go back to the village quickly to avoid getting into trouble again!"

Qiao Xian curled her lips, "Grandpa, go and do your work, you'd better not meddle in my affairs!"

The old man was furious: "Girl, if I don't care about you causing a death, is that okay?"

"What do you mean by death?" Qiao Xian looked confused and started fiddling with her dressing table to hide her guilty conscience.

"The prime minister's wife was poisoned. Was it you who did it?" The old general narrowed his eyes and questioned, "I was too indulgent to you. You were away from the village all day, and now you come here to cause trouble!"

She opened her eyes without blinking and said, "Grandpa, you can't wrongly accuse me! Besides, I am your daughter, how can you throw dirty water on me without looking at me?"

"Still quibbling?" The old man raised his eyebrows. "What did you say you were going to do by stealing the chrysanthemums from the village? And the prime minister's wife happened to be poisoned by this rare poison. Could it be that I was the one who poisoned her? Do you know how big a disaster you have caused?"

"It's all over and naturally won't be discovered. How can you say you're in trouble? My daughter knows what she's doing. You can just go about your business. Besides, there are so many Yanqi people doing shady business outside. Why don't you care?" She suddenly remembered something and stopped talking abruptly.

"What... a shady business?" The old man was confused and wanted to hear her explain.

Qiao Xian immediately said, "What kind of business? As a Yanqi person, how can anyone in the Tang Dynasty be allowed to see the light of day?"

The old man didn't know she was being perfunctory, and said earnestly: "Why do you have to touch the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion when you can touch anyone else? Can't you just listen to me for once?"

"How could I not know who they are?" Qiao Xian sneered, "One is the Princess of Yanqi of the older generation, and the other is the Prince of Yanqi of the younger generation? Yanqi has been destroyed, so where did they come from..."

Before she could finish her words, the old general hit her on the head and said angrily: "Without Yanqi, where would you come from?"

Qiao Xian was also angry: "Yes, without Yanqi, there would be no me, and there would be no me who is so... ugly!"

The old general was stunned, then changed his tone, "I won't argue with you anymore, I'll come back to take you back later. I have something else to do now, so you better stay here and don't cause trouble, do you hear me?"

After saying this, Qiao Xian ignored him.

There are footsteps getting closer outside.

The old general shook his head, picked up Silang and ran away with great enthusiasm.

Long Qi had no interest in drinking tea, he had more important things to do.

He immediately called the servant to get the hemp rope, and also called a few strong male servants to take him to the wing room.

The servant responded enthusiastically and quickly completed the task.

When they arrived at the wing room, the woman's door happened to be open, with her back to them.

Long Qi said coldly: "Tie her up!"

The servant was dumbfounded. Wasn't she just betrothed to her husband by the lady? How could she suddenly...

The male servants hesitated for a moment but did not disobey, and directly grabbed Qiao Xian when she was about to react.

Qiao Xian's arms were immediately restrained by the male servant and she was unable to break free. Her wrists were finally tied behind her back with hemp rope.

She frowned and looked at him up and down. He was tall and handsome, with no expression on his face, just like he looked on the street that day.

But at that time she was wearing a hat and was being bullied. Just when the man was about to take off her hat, he appeared and easily repelled the man.

If her face had not been rough and ugly at that time, she would have chased after him and made friends with him like an ordinary Chang'an woman.

When her consciousness returned, she couldn't help but sneer, and said as if she forgave him for what he could do to her: "What does this mean?"

Long Qi walked up to her, glared at her face, frowned and said, "Do you think you didn't reveal any flaws?"

Qiao Xian looked at him calmly, "What flaw? I've only been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for one day and you're bullying me like this. What do you want to do by doing this?"

Long Qi cast his gaze on the side of her face, frowning slightly, "It seems that you have already made up for it. No wonder you are so confident."

As he said this, he took the knife and reached out to the side of her cheek, ready to have someone scratch it to see the true shape.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and after Long Qi dodged it, he found an old man in front of him.

It's him?

Several male servants watched the old man fly in from the curtain, and also watched him rescue the tied-up woman to the side and untie her in the blink of an eye.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere. Turns out you are here to capture my daughter. I wonder if my daughter has offended your husband?" The old man's tone was not unhappy, but he was just explaining what he saw.

Long Qi looked at his face and found that he was exactly the old man who told a lot of stories last time and claimed to be General Yanqi!

When Qiao Xian saw Grandpa coming, she immediately lowered her head and cried, "Grandpa, if you hadn't come to save me, I would have been humiliated to death by him. Please help me!"

"I haven't done anything to you, just shut up." The old general glanced at her, and although there was some pity on his face, he was not biased.

Qiao Xian shut up obediently, but glared at Long Qi fearlessly.

Long Qi knew that it was impossible to catch this slippery old man with just these few servants, so he just wanted to find out the reason: "What exactly are you going to do?"

The old general smiled and bowed, "My daughter acted rashly and offended many people. But you can't hurt her, she is just... a poor person." He sighed, "Last time, I told you everything I shouldn't have said. If you want to know more... let them leave."

Long Qi was suspicious for a while, but he dismissed the servants and waited for him to speak.
