Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 114 Rumors

The next day, just after dawn, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan rode back to the capital on horseback. There were only the two of them, and they didn't even bring a horse with them.

Qiao Lili was still wearing men's clothes today. She and Yu Jingyan rode two horses, one black and one white. The horses were fine horses and the men were handsome young men. Passers-by on the official road stopped to look at them, and they all sighed, "Whose family is this young man? He is a young man from Wuling, riding a white horse with a silver saddle in the spring breeze. It's so good to be young."

Yu Jingyan felt sorry for her little A'li who was tired from riding for a long time. After running for more than an hour, she dismounted to rest for a while, and went to see the beautiful scenery, strolled around the small town where the official road passed through, and had something to eat. The advantage of doing this was that the horse got a proper rest, and when it ran again, its speed could be increased. Overall, it covered a lot of distance in a day.

I stayed at the post station that night and received news from the capital. Rumors were flying all over the capital that the Sixth Prince Yu Jingyan was not good at flood control, resulting in twelve villages in Huaijiang Beach being flooded, and more than a thousand people were killed but none of them escaped. The emperor was furious and wanted to punish him.

Ever since Qiao Li left for Panshi Mountain, pigeons have been flying to Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the capital every day. After receiving the letters, the Jia brothers would deliver them to Concubine Yun.

Yu Jingyan's memorial to the emperor was also secretly delivered to his desk.

The only way such a rumor could be spread was by the eldest and second princes behind the scenes. They might have heard that the Huaijiang Beach was flooded, but they did not hear that the people had already evacuated, so they created such an ironic situation.

Qiao Lili's thoughts moved. This was an opportunity to escape from the East Mansion.

"Brother Ajing, we have another East Mansion in the Dingguo Mansion. It belongs to my grandfather's half-brother. We have been separated from the family for many years, but he still lives in our house."

"It would be fine if they were honest, but I now find that they are restless. The people the fourth master contacts are very suspicious. I am afraid that they will harm my father and brother one day." This is all Qiao Lili found out when she left the capital. There is no more information. Maybe it is hidden deep enough, or maybe the time has not come yet.

Having said that, Qiao Lili looked at Yu Jingyan again. Yu Jingyan inexplicably felt that her gaze was a little cold. She said that what happened in their house had nothing to do with him.

"Since I discussed the marriage with you, the second young lady in their mansion who was engaged broke off the engagement and went around meeting the princes. Maybe she felt that she was no worse than me. If I can marry you, she can also marry into the royal family."

Qiao Lili glanced at Yu Jingyan again, and Yu Jingyan realized that it was not an illusion. This time her eyes were even colder, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Qiao Tingting from the second room wants to be your concubine."

Yu Jingyan stood up from the chair, but he didn't control his strength well, so he overturned the chair. He half-knelt in front of Qiao Lili and held Qiao Lili's hands: "I only need Ah Li, and that's enough for my life."

"Just look at my father and mother. My father was so absurd when he was young that he made my mother unhappy and miserable. I will not follow in his footsteps. I will only learn from his mistakes."

"Ali, don't test me, don't torture me, and don't leave me." Yu Jingyan looked at Qiao Lili with sharp eyes. From that angle, he looked like a big dog looking forward to being caressed.

"You are not allowed to do this, and you are not allowed to do that. Tell me what I can do." Qiao Lili pouted, wondering what she could do if she really wanted to masturbate.

"love me."

"I am pleased."

"..."

Qiao Lili's face turned red. Not knowing what earth-shattering words Yu Jingyan would say next, Qiao Lili quickly covered his mouth.

The secret guards who were hiding somewhere felt very relieved. The young master was really poor, but he was also good at talking. Look how embarrassed he made the girl. Her face was even redder than the boiled crabs the day before yesterday. Should the secret guards take action now? Several people quickly disappeared.

If you have a mouth, just say more.

Qiao Lili suddenly felt that the topic had gone off track. She had forgotten what she was talking about just now because of this guy's sudden confession.

"I mean, I want to use this wave of rumors you spread to make Dongfu move out on its own and cut off ties with them from now on."

"I originally wanted to spread the bad news about my father and brother at the border to achieve this goal. Later, I analyzed that they can't rely on my father and brother, and they will still cling to you."

"Since there are rumors about you now, I will add fuel to the fire and make that family think that our Duke's Mansion is in danger, and they will naturally stay away from us."

"Moreover, my grandmother said that they are not actually descendants of the Qiao family." Qiao Lili told Yu Jingyan the life story of Qiao Bieyuan, the second master of the East Mansion, from beginning to end.

"So, I hope you won't clarify the rumors first. Can you, can you ask the emperor to cooperate as well?"

Qiao Lili was afraid that the emperor loved his son so much that he would clarify the rumors as soon as possible, so she also hoped that Yu Jingyan would talk to the emperor about it.

"You can go find my mother about this matter. As long as it's my mother who says it, my father will agree. He wishes my mother would find him for trouble every day." Yu Jingyan quickly put his parents' positions in front of Qiao Lili.

Then he expressed his loyalty again, "I will do the same from now on. I will listen to you."

Qiao Lili felt that this sentence was familiar. After thinking about it, it seemed to be his catchphrase. When she asked for his opinion, he said this: "Okay, I'll listen to you." "Okay, I'll listen to you."

I didn’t feel anything when I heard it at that time, but now when I think about it, I just feel warm in my eyes.

In the past few days, he really did what he said, "I listen to you." From evacuating people and releasing floodwaters to taking a walk, eating, and buying something, he always said, "I listen to you."

Qiao Lili leaned over and kissed Yu Jingyan, who was still squatting on the ground with his head tilted up.

Yu Jingyan was caught off guard and sat on the ground. Qiao Lili, who had lost her balance, fell on him. Yu Jingyan lay on the ground. He reached out and hugged Qiao Lili. Qiao Lili lay on Yu Jingyan's body, and their mouths were still kissing, and they continued to kiss.

The secret guards heard the sound of someone falling and came back quickly. What they saw was their young master lying on the ground and being affectionately treated by the girl. Oh, is this something the secret guards can see without paying?

They covered their eyes with their forked hands and slowly disappeared.

"Why is the young master down there?"

"Because he's poor."

Yes, a person who lives off his wife can be taken advantage of by others.

From then on, their young master had another label of a gigolo. It turned out that there was also a pauper. Before that? What about a boy or a fairy? It was too long ago, I don’t remember.

That night, Qiao Lili released a pigeon back to Duke Dingguo's mansion, asking Shang Zhen to quickly add fuel to the fire and spread the news that Duke Dingguo had been defeated in the border battle and that the emperor was going to confiscate their property and exile them.

Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan only asked for an upper room in the post station. This upper room also had an inner and outer room. Perhaps most of the people living in the post station were officials, and they all brought their entourage, guards, maids, etc., so this upper room also had a bed in the outer room.

Yu Jingyan was so angry that he wanted to throw the bed in the outer room away.

Don't wait any longer, just go to bed. Everyone else has gone to bed. There are two beds tonight, so there will be no benefit for Xiao Tiantian.
