Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 190 You are afraid that my grandmother will worry about you, and I am also afraid that your parents will worry about you.

The news brought back is that the Princess of Lana has been in Dayan for more than half a year. Now that the marriage has failed, she is required to leave the capital at the end of the month and leave Dayan before the end of the year.

That means there are only about ten days left.

If the female official wanted to go to Broom Lane to look for someone, she had to do it during these days, and not in the last few days, because if something unexpected happened again, she would not be able to complete the mission.

Originally, everyone thought that Rong Jiang and his group had nothing to do with Lou Xinyue, and Qiao Lili was still a little depressed. But now, she saw hope again. Since someone wanted to contact Lou Xinyue, she would get some information more or less.

After much discussion, this group of people decided that if they wanted to do this without anyone noticing, they could not do without Feng Wuzui, so they invited Doctor Feng to come over. This old naughty boy was bored and suddenly felt that he had encountered something interesting. He spared no effort to come up with ideas and was willing to take part in the battle himself. Qiao Lili persuaded him to agree to let Feng Wuzui interrogate him personally after catching the man.

Shang Zhen brought his men to make the arrangements. Yu Jingyan successfully stayed in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for dinner. After dinner, he sparred with Qiao Peng in the martial arts field, had an awkward chat with Qiao Zhen for a while, and stayed with Qiao Lili for half an hour before returning to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, looking back every few steps. However, this gave him a new idea.

From then on, every day when he sent Qiao Lili back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, he would either practice with Qiao Peng, play with Qiao Zhen, or chat with the old Duke's wife. Anyway, he would always have dinner and then find various excuses to accompany Qiao Lili for a while. He would not return to the Sixth Prince's Mansion until it was time for her to go to bed.

This time I really returned home and just fell asleep.

"This child is pitiful. His father doesn't care about him, and he doesn't let his mother take care of him. The mansion is so cold and there is nothing in it. No wonder he doesn't want to go back." The old lady of the Duke's wife found out what Yu Jingyan wanted her to know during the conversation in which Yu Jingyan was deliberately concealing the truth, and she immediately felt sympathy for him.

"He is a prince, he is pitiful, and there is no one in the capital who is not pitiful." Qiao Peng knew what Yu Jingyan was thinking. He was just pretending to be pitiful so that he could stay in his own mansion, eat and drink for free, and cling to his sister.

"You have a grandmother, brothers and sisters in your house, but what does he have? A housekeeper and two servants. If it were you, would you want to go back?" The old Duke's wife was not happy and scolded her grandson, "The prince is a descendant of a royal family and has a noble status, but sometimes, it is lonely at the top."

"They don't have the affection between father and son, brother and sister that ordinary people have." Not only that, they are also showing mercy to each other even if it means life and death. Thinking of this, the old Duke's wife felt depressed again: "Hey, I don't know if it is right or wrong to marry Lili into the royal family. Now it seems that the two of them are in love with each other."

"Is it too late to regret now?" Qiao Peng asked unwillingly, his eyes full of cunning. This Sixth Prince came to snatch his sister from him every day, calling her "Sister Ali" all the time, which was so annoying.

During this period, as the two of them kept competing with each other, he also felt that the Sixth Prince was a hidden talent. His martial arts skills were indeed not weak, and might even be better than his. If his sister was bullied in the future, he might not be able to avenge her, which made him a little depressed.

"If you go back on your word, let alone A'li or the Sixth Prince, the Emperor will never agree. It has nothing to do with his words. You go to court every day now. Can't you sense what the Emperor is thinking?" Although the old Duke's wife is old, she is still very sensitive to the current situation. Otherwise, with all the men in the family at the border, it would be normal for the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion to be bullied and ignored if they were left in the capital. But the fact is, when the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion is mentioned, those officials from aristocratic families are afraid of it in their hearts.

How could Qiao Peng not know that the emperor wanted to let Qiao Lili sit on the throne? He did not hide it in front of his grandmother and said without thinking: "The emperor has done the same thing that made us execute all nine clans of the Dingguo Mansion. Every day when I go to court, I am so scared that I break into cold sweats."

Well, actually he has gotten much better during this period of time, and he is used to being scared. He hasn't been executed yet, so let's talk about it when the day comes.

"You are so old, yet you still speak without restraint." The old lady of the Duke glared at her grandson fiercely: "Lili is just like her mother. She has a radiance that cannot be hidden."

"Be nice to the Sixth Prince, Ali will feel more comfortable. When they get married, even if you want others to come, they won't come." Thinking of Qiao Lili's mother Wen Xi, the old lady of the Duke felt sad.

Such a brilliant and talented woman died at such a young age. It would be better to let an old woman replace her.

Five days later, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan were still reading memorials in the imperial study when Xiao Yinzi came in and announced, "General Qiao wants to see you."

General Qiao? Qiao Lili pondered for a moment. Oh, it was her brother. These days, he was hanging out with Yu Jingyan and Qiao Zhen at home every day, and he had a very low presence during the court. Qiao Lili had temporarily forgotten that her brother Qiao Peng was a champion general, a young general who frightened the enemy at the border, and a young general who was brave and resourceful and could enter the enemy camp as if he were in an empty space.

She wondered if there was any news about that incident, and looked at Yu Jingyan, who threw down the red pen in his hand and said, "Come in quickly."

Qiao Peng was still wearing his court robes. When he was leaving the palace, he saw Shang Zhen who was guarding the palace gate. After listening to Shang Zhen's report, he went straight back to the palace to find the two of them.

"The man has been sent to a villa in the suburbs." Qiao Peng didn't need to say much, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan understood.

As expected, Qiao Lili showed a hint of joy on her face, "Brother, go back home, change your clothes and take Doctor Feng to the manor. A Jing and I will go directly there."

Separating was less noticeable, and she and Yu Jingyan rode faster.

When Qiao Peng bowed and was about to leave the imperial study, Yu Jingyan added, "Brother, please tell grandma that A-li and I will stay in Yunxiao Palace for dinner. We don't know when we will be back, so don't let her worry about us."

Qiao Peng replied, "Yes." But he was complaining in his heart, "Don't I know how to say it myself? It seems that you are so thoughtful." But some people just buy into this. Look at his innocent and silly sister, there are stars in her eyes.

Qiao Peng turned and walked away, his whole back showing resentment. Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan couldn't just leave immediately, as they still had several important memorials to hand in. "Little Zhangzi, Little Seal, send these memorials to Yunxiao Palace, and this pile to the Cabinet."

Qiao Lili wrote a letter to Emperor Yong'an, saying that she had to leave the palace for something and would attend the court tomorrow morning. "Tell the Imperial Concubine that it's not dangerous and ask her not to worry."

"Stop telling me to do something unnecessary and just go. This was originally his job, so why don't you let him do it today? It's as if I still owe him a favor." Yu Jingyan had no patience for Emperor Yong'an and always spoke with disdain.

Qiao Lili smiled and said, "You are afraid that my grandmother will worry about you, and I am also afraid that your parents will worry about you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Jingyan's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, extremely comfortable and soothed. A-li understood him, all his attitudes towards Yu Linghuan were superficial, he might not be a good father to other sons, but he was extremely good to him, his disgust and impatience mainly stemmed from his deception of his mother.

"Ali." Yu Jingyan hugged Qiao Lili and kissed her on the top of her head.

Xiao Zhangzi and Xiao Yinzi lowered their heads with red faces. Caiqin and Caiwei, who were about to come in to help Qiao Lili change clothes, also stopped.
