Chapter 186 Quarrel
Late at night, Qiao Shinian sat on the bed flipping through a book waiting for Mu Qingchen to come home.
The ancient times were really nothing like the modern times. The candlelight was dim, and a lamp could not illuminate a large area. It was difficult to read clearly. She simply did not have much interest in reading, and was more waiting for an answer.
During this time, she also took a nap leaning against the head of the bed, but as soon as she fell asleep, she began to dream. She saw the vivid figure of Princess Yu'an at noon and the sad face of Mu Qingchen, and in the end, everything turned into a blaming look.
Amidst her worry and anxiety, she finally heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
He threw back the quilt, put on his shoes and walked out.
Before she could leave the bedroom, Mu Qingchen pushed open the door and they looked at each other in silence.
When she saw Mu Qingchen's tired and sad eyes, her worst guess seemed to be confirmed.
"Why kill her!"
This was the first sentence Mu Qingchen uttered, an affirmative accusation.
"I...I...you do it first, I'll pour you some water." Qiao Shinian turned around and tried to hide the fear in her heart. She was almost a student brought up by Mu Qingchen himself, and she couldn't hide her lies from him.
The pulling force from her arm made her fall backwards suddenly.
Mu Qingchen asked with red eyes: "Why? Do you know who she is? How dare you do this!"
"Listen to me." Qiao Shinian felt guilty. She looked at Mu Qingchen, who was on the verge of a rage, and whispered, "This is, this is..."
"She is her last offspring! She is all her hopes and expectations! How dare you destroy her expectations!!"
Qiao Shinian stared blankly at Mu Qingchen who was roaring at her. Her tears slid down the corners of her eyes and fell behind her ears. She had nothing to explain. It was indeed the fact that she had killed his sister and his mother's daughter.
"sorry."
"Is it any use to say sorry? Is it any use to say sorry?"
"Do you know that you have ruined her! Why didn't you discuss this with me! Why did you do these things without permission! What right do you have to take the life of an innocent person!"
"sorry."
"You guys are so brave! Do you know what you have done?!
I am ready to talk to you Chu Wen. I am already preparing, just as you said, we are going to create a beautiful world, with the same order as your world!
But, but what have you done! You killed my mother's favorite daughter, you left her without hope!
You didn't hesitate to stain your hands with blood for Wen Jiu! You didn't even consider me!
Qiao Shinian! How can you be so selfish! "
Qiao Shinian took two steps back and looked at the hysterical Mu Qingchen, who looked particularly hideous and terrifying at this moment.
She reached out her hands and hugged Mu Qingchen, trembling: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I was the one who hid all this from you. I wanted her to die a long time ago. I don't want to see her. She is the person I am afraid of and terrified of."
"Don't touch me!" Mu Qingchen waved Qiao Shinian away.
Qiao Shinian, who was knocked down by the force, sat on the ground, looking at Mu Qingchen's desperate and painful eyes. She still wanted to reach out her hand, like before.
"I don't want to see you!" Mu Qingchen's straight back suddenly became a little hunched. He clenched his fists and tears fell down his cheeks to the ground: "Qiao Shinian, you are deceiving me. You have never cared about me from the beginning to the end. Haha, I know why you approached me. You just did it for Wen Jiu. Everything you do is for Wen Jiu!
You didn’t even think about me!”
Qiao Shinian got up from the ground and walked outside: "I think we should both calm down now. It's my fault that I didn't tell you. You can go tell your brother and expose my identity. Tell him that it was the medicine I brought that killed his daughter, and ask him to arrest me."
"I know what you said just now was just an angry remark, not sincere. If you don't want to see me, then I will leave for a while and come back when you calm down." Qiao Shinian said as he walked out.
Before she left the yard, she heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from inside the house.
Fortunately, it was not cold in May. She wiped away her tears and walked out of the palace.
She just felt that her former self seemed to have disappeared, and the only feeling she had for killing Princess Yu'an was that she was sorry for Mu Qingchen.
She actually didn't have any substantial feelings about killing Princess Yu'an, she just felt that she and Wen Jiu would be an additional help in the future.
The only person she felt sorry for was Mu Qingchen. She had never intended to let Mu Qingchen know their plan from the beginning, so after the plan was accomplished today, her only worry was about Mu Qingchen's reaction.
Now that what she worried about had come true, she didn't feel much emotion.
She should be thankful that she still had a place to stay here. She walked into the restaurant, ordered four pots of wine, and stayed in a superior room. She even felt that nothing had changed from before.
The only difference was that Mu Qingchen did not come to accompany her tonight.
Oh, tonight she and Mu Qingchen had a falling out.
Qiao Shinian numbly turned his head to look at the uninvited person.
"Sister Qiao, you..." Cao Jinhua was still wearing men's clothes today. After Qiao Shinian's guidance, she put on makeup and looked like a man.
Qiao Shinian raised the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "I had a quarrel with Mu Qingchen, and I came here to drink to relieve my sorrow."
"Fight?" Cao Jinhua sat down next to Qiao Shinian, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Would the virtuous king quarrel with you, Sister Qiao?"
"Yeah." When Qiao Shinian looked up again, he was already in tears and sobbing.
Her eyes could no longer see the person in front of her: "I did something that broke his heart. I hurt his heart."
Seeing Qiao Shinian like this, Cao Jinhua quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Qiao Shinian's tears: "Okay, okay, Sister Qiao, don't cry. What's going on? Tell me, I'll go talk to the virtuous king tomorrow and tell him that you didn't mean it."
Qiao Shinian covered her face with a handkerchief and cried bitterly. The brief numbness she had felt before had disappeared, and now she was filled with sadness and self-blame.
"I am sorry for him! I am sorry... I am really sorry..."
Faced with Qiao Shinian's emotional breakdown, Cao Jinhua seemed at a loss. She wanted to pull Qiao Shinian, who was crying breathlessly on her lap, up, but she also wanted to pat her on the back first. For a moment, she couldn't come up with an appropriate response.
After finally waiting for Qiao Shinian to calm down, she wanted to ask more questions, but she saw Qiao Shinian drinking a jar of liquor in one gulp.
Then came the second bottle, and the third bottle.
She really couldn't handle the situation, and finally had no choice but to ask her experienced second brother for help.
This search alarmed everyone, and Cao Yue, Cao Xin and Cao Yu also came out wearing clothes.
It was the first time that everyone saw Qiao Shinian lose her composure like this. She just kept crying and drinking.
Cao Ming shook his head and ordered, "Go get some water and ask the kitchen to make some hangover soup."
Cao Yue walked to Qiao Shinian, turned to look at her second uncle, and said, "Second uncle, I see she is crying so hard, how about I knock her out first, let Sister Shinian have a good sleep, and cry tomorrow?"
Cao Ming shook his head and looked at his niece helplessly: "I think something really happened. Miss Qiao is usually cheerful. Something big must have happened today. Just in case Xiaoyue and Huahua take turns to watch over her and don't let her do anything stupid, or if she gets hungover and vomits in the middle of the night, you all have to keep an eye on her."
"Oh." Cao Yue nodded. With one hand, she took the wine jug from Qiao Shinian's hand and put it on the table. With the other hand, she pulled Qiao Shinian's arm and carried her on her shoulders across the screen to the bed. "Sister Shinian, have a good sleep and don't cry. We can talk about it tomorrow. I will sneak into the Xianwang Mansion tomorrow and bring His Royal Highness the Xianwang to you."
"Don't!" Qiao Shinian shook her head. She frowned uncomfortably: "You all go out, I'm fine."
