Chapter 33

Jun Sumo pursed his lips.

"If it is, then you have missed many times during this period, and it won't be long before you will become an abandoned child."

Seeing that there was no emotion on Qiao Qingqing's face, Jun Sumo knew that she had not submitted to the prince.

He raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled lightly:
"I didn't want to be troublesome at first, but Lianyi is kind-hearted and can't bear to part with you, my sister."

Qiao Lianyi seized the gap and hurriedly shook Qiao Qingqing's hands, "Third sister, did you really vote for the prince? You know, he is definitely not a kind person!"

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Qiao Qingqing became curious.

"Uncle Huang planned to use the Qian family's property as a dowry for you. Ms. Qiao San, do you know how much a quarter of the family property is equivalent to two taels of gold?"

"How many taels?"

"10 million taels."

"10 taels?" Qiao Qingqing's eyes widened, "It's equivalent to [-] million RMB! My whole family doesn't eat or drink, and I started working as a monkey. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn this amount..."

Jun Sumo was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to his aloofness:

"Miss Qiao San really thinks that the 10 taels of gold came from the Qian family's pocket?"

Qiao Qingqing raised her hand and pushed her shocked chin, "I know that the Qian family's money is the crown prince's money, so the 10 taels of gold were actually taken out of the crown prince's pocket."

"A dowry of 10 taels naturally requires a betrothal gift of the same price, so that it can be reciprocated, but the emperor has tried his best, how can it be just for a meaningless exchange? I am afraid that the dowry and betrothal gift will enter the palace by then, and Qiao Third Miss, you will be the scapegoat."

Qiao Qingqing's heart sank, and she was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Qiao Lianyi patted her on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "Third sister, you keep saying that I'm partial to Xiaoxiao, but in fact, the person I care about most is you."

She looked at Wang Jun Su Mo, sighed softly, and lowered her eyes secretly:

"Third sister, don't look at me as the legitimate daughter of the mansion, but your fate and mine are so similar? My father married a common wife. This is slapping my mother in the face. She couldn't get angry and indulged in the Buddhist hall all day long. An opportunity for the second wife to dominate."

She looked around, lowered her voice and continued:
"Now the entire prime minister's mansion is owned by the prince, and the father is the only one who follows the prince's lead. You and I are helpless, and we must not step into the muddy water, do you understand?"

Qiao Qingqing wrinkled the tip of her nose and explained, "But the person I want to marry is someone who is in a whirlwind of right and wrong, what can I do? I'm helpless too..."

"Third sister, please stop," Qiao Lianyi frowned, and said with pity, "I will get married before you, and then I will take you by my side. Brother Su Mo can protect you for the rest of your life. Eldest sister really doesn't want you to die." ..."

As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and a few drops of fragrant tears wet the brocade handkerchief.

"Actually...the lord is quite good, let's not talk about the facts, have you misunderstood him..."

Qiao Qingqing was still struggling needlessly.

"Third sister, are you in love with the prince?" Qiao Lianyi couldn't believe it.

"no……"

"That's good..." Qiao Lianyi put her hand on her chest, and just about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Qiao Qingqing say again:

"I have always had feelings for him. I pretended to be obedient to the prince before. You also know that the prince has been away for two years. I don't know the current affairs, so I will definitely not be able to survive. Now that he is back, I am married to him as I wished. Naturally, there is no need to pretend anymore..."

Before Qiao Qingqing finished speaking, Qiao Lianyi had already started to lose her feet.

"Eldest sister, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but you took me with you when you got married. If you don't know, you thought I was going to be the second prince's concubine. The prince will also misunderstand me..."

Qiao Lianyi was speechless.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Jun Su Mo's handsome face.

After a long silence, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Since Ms. Qiao San is obsessed with her obsession, then please ask for blessings."

As he said that, he raised his eyes without a trace, and looked at the treetops.

Qiao Qingqing followed his gaze, but only caught the swaying branches.

After that, she went back to her residence, and waited until the top of the moon.

The aunt never showed up, and Qiao Qingqing felt a little worried, so she had to make up some clothes, slipped out quietly, and went to the countryside to find her.

When passing by the foot of the mountain, Qiao Qingqing found that there were white mushrooms connected in one piece on the wet ground.

Curious, she took a closer look with the help of the moonlight, and then a "Oh Huo" resounded through the valley!
Under the Yingyingyue pass, the scale-handled white poisonous amanita quenched a seemingly harmless cold light.

However, it was this "Oh Huo" that suddenly made several hurried footsteps behind her.

Qiao Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out "Who?!"

She pricked up her ears to discern carefully, but where was the sound of footsteps behind her?

The cold wind of early winter blows away the cloak, and Qiao Qingqing suddenly thinks of the most common warning in supernatural stories:
When walking alone at night, don't look back, because there is a lamp on each of the two shoulders of a person, which symbolizes the flame of life. Turning around will blow it out, and dirty things will follow you everywhere.

"Don't follow me! I'm not afraid of you, Lin Zhengying is my patriarch!"

After Qiao Qingqing said this, she ran away!
In order to embolden herself, she sang while running to cheer herself up:
"Red umbrellas, white poles, after eating, lie on the board; lay on the board, bury the mountain..."

The voice was getting farther and farther away, and behind her, a suspicious inquiry sounded in a low voice:

"My lord, since I came back from Northern Xinjiang, my subordinates have felt that Miss Qiao San seems to have been stimulated by something. It seems..."

Cang Song pointed to his head, while the solemn-faced man with his arms folded remained expressionless.

He ignored Cangsong's questioning, and asked lightly, "Did you find anything?"

Cang Song immediately restrained his expression, "Go back to the lord, after the prince went down the mountain, he sent people to visit Miss Qiao San's village one by one. The strange thing is that the subordinates sent people to ask again, and those people seemed to be bewitched. Not a word."

Jun Muxi frowned, "Auntie returned to the village this time, did you find any clues?"

"It's nothing but some quarrels with the villagers, but as soon as she left the village, there was a killer waiting on the road, and the subordinates have already dealt with it."

"Has she ever noticed anything unusual?"

Cangsong looked firm, "No, she's just a village woman with no skills, a secret for her subordinates."

Jun Muxi nodded, "Well, keep following."

He looked into the distance, and that petite figure had already disappeared in the misty place on the official road.

An hour later, the fog was getting thicker and thicker. Qiao Qingqing's eyes widened, and she kept complaining:

"What's wrong with the weather, male and female are indistinguishable 50 meters away, and humans and animals are indistinguishable 100 meters away, this silly elder sister is actually looking for trouble for me!"

If it weren't for Jun Sumo and Qiao Lianyi's warning today, how would she have returned to the countryside in the middle of the night?

While complaining, she suddenly collided with the figure running towards her!

Hearing "Ouch", it seemed that a figure fell down in response. Qiao Qingqing was so frightened that she instinctively apologized regardless:

"This good man, my monthly salary is [-], so I really can't beat you, please do me a favor, can someone else blackmail me..."

"Girl, run!"

Um?Is it aunt?
Qiao Qingqing raised her eyebrows, and before she could yell out, she saw a cold sword sharply striking between the two of them!
