Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 8: Skirt-Tent Banquet ()

This scene was something Yu Xinyao had never expected.

After several screams, the maid pulled the young lady, the mother pulled her daughter, and the sister-in-law pulled her sister-in-law, and they all left the courtyard and faced the male guests who had heard the news.

They were on the other side of the lake and learned the news late, so they just rushed over.

"What happened?" asked the young man walking in front, but no one answered him. The ladies covered their faces with their sleeves or fans and fled quickly, fearing that they would be recognized here.

Under the cover of Caiqi and Caixing, Qiao Lili also left the gate of the courtyard. They had won a great victory today and could retire now.

The traffic jam at the gate of the Third Princess's residence was so severe that it was difficult to move forward. Qiao Lili asked the servant guarding the gate to take them to find a carriage. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they took their own carriage back to the Duke Dingguo's residence. She took Caiqi out of the carriage and went to the outer study. She asked Caixing to follow the carriage and send Chen Ruxin and Su Shiyun's maids back to the residence respectively.

Shang Zhen and others were in the study room outside. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qiao Lili return unharmed. Even if arrangements had been made in advance, who could guarantee that everything was planned out? They were still waiting with a worried look in their eyes.

"Young master, are you okay?" When he got closer, he found that the young master had changed his clothes, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood.

Qiao Lili smiled soothingly: "I'm fine, I just got a few scrapes when I was saving someone else."

Shang Zhen said somewhat disapprovingly: "You still have to put yourself first."

"It's just something that happens easily. There's no danger." Qiao Lili didn't want to say more about Su Shiyun. She didn't participate much in other things, and she couldn't explain it clearly now, so she changed the subject, "Master Shang, it's still early, why don't we start today's military strategy class."

"Okay, today we're going to talk about how the old Duke Ding defeated the larger force with a smaller one."

......

An hour later, Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin returned happily.

The first one to reprimand them was Shang Zhen. "How many times have I told you not to show your emotions? Just look at your faces and I can tell what you have done."

The two of them shrank their necks, rubbed their hands, and said awkwardly, "We are back home now, we are all so polite when we are outside."

"Uncle Xiang, Uncle Tang, what's going on today?" Qiao Lili thought that the third princess Yu Xinyao was plotting against her, but she didn't know to what extent she was going to plot against her. If it was as she saw, she and Yu Xinyao would be irreconcilable and would never reconcile with each other.

"They are determined to make the young master fall into the water. I guess the young master has already sensed it." That's right, she was picked twice in the tossing pot. This is not too obvious. Do they think she is too stupid, or do they think she can't resist?

"They have already prepared servants by the lake. As long as the young master falls into the water, they will let the servants rescue the young master and ruin his reputation."

"Did Su Shiyun suffer because of me?" If Su Shiyun suffered the misfortune because of her, she would have to compensate her well.

"No, the person who was arranged to deal with you has not made his move yet. The noble lady who attacked Su Shiyun might be jealous of Ke Yang's kindness to her." Qiao Lili breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't for her. Shiyun's health was not good to begin with. If she was implicated, she would feel bad.

"They took the opportunity when the young master was changing clothes and took her to the courtyard with incense. The second prince was hiding in the side room." When Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin said this, the context of the matter was very clear. A Zi went there and took Qiao Lili away, and they brought Bai Rouer with them.

"Why is Su Xi there too?" Qiao Lili couldn't figure this out.

"Miss A Zi said that she would make those who dared to harm the young master unforgettable for the rest of their lives. She told us that the third princess's favorite lover was in a nearby yard, so we went to carry him over, and she fed each of us a pill."

This is called treating others in their own way.

Qiao Lili wanted to applaud.

They are not good people. Bai Rouer tried to discredit her with words, but that didn't work. Then she tried to push her into the water. If she succeeded, she would be the one suffering now. The Third Princess and the Second Prince wanted to plot against her, which was even more unforgivable. Let them fight each other.

She is not a saint.

The Third Princess's Mansion.

After the noble ladies left one after another, the young masters also left together. It was impossible for Yu Xinyao to keep her mouth shut.

The three people were still in an indescribable state in the ruins, and Yu Xinyao was so angry that she shouted, "Bring a bucket of well water."

A servant responded and left. Not long after, a bucket of cold well water was brought over and poured on the three people with a "splash". The three people's eyes gradually became clear. Bai Rouer was the first to wake up. She first felt a tearing and splitting pain in her body, and then she found that there were two men in front and behind her.

She screamed and tried to get rid of the two men, but she was no stronger than a cat at that moment.

Then, the two men woke up and saw the crowd of people watching.

The three men looked as miserable as three wild dogs. They crawled in different directions and put their clothes on randomly.

Bai Junzhe, who got the news from somewhere, rushed in. He kowtowed to Yu Xinyao and said, "Please forgive me, Princess, and let me take Rou'er away." Bai Junzhe knew that it was Bai Rou'er who had ruined the princess's plans time and time again. If his sister was only with the second prince, the second prince could be held responsible. Now that Su Xi is involved, the third princess must be feeling sick to her stomach.

It's really a case of stealing a chicken but losing the rice.

"Get out." This happened in front of everyone. If she killed Bai Rouer at this moment, it would not only be of no help, but she would also be branded as someone who killed innocent people.

The clothes that Bai Rouer was wearing could no longer be called clothes. That thin gauze dress was in tatters and tattered. Bai Junzhe took off his coat, threw it on Bai Rouer to cover the naked person, picked her up, turned around and left.

The second prince's servant also woke up from his coma, helped their master to put on his clothes, and under the fierce gaze of the third princess, he did not dare to argue and walked away in shame.

Only Su Xi was left, and Yu Xinyao drove everyone out. Su Xi knelt down at Yu Xinyao's feet, hugged Yu Xinyao's calves, and cried.

He cried so hard that anyone who heard him was heartbroken and cried. If there was a Great Wall, it would have been knocked down by his crying without leaving even a single brick.
