Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 54

revenge

The pavilion in Baixiang Courtyard is not big, but it can just accommodate three people.

Although the sun came out today, the temperature was still low.The cold wind passed through the gaps in the clothes and hit the person directly.

Joey’s hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. At this time, he was only wearing a plain and thin dress with narrow sleeves, a stand-up collar and a straight collar, which could not protect him from the cold wind.

Luo Shi, who was standing behind, saw at a glance the red blood streaks on the back of Joey’s hand.Silently, she turned back to the house and took out a large fox velvet cloak, pretending to put it on Joey.

Joey didn’t move, just sat there and let Luo Shi move.

Looking at Joey’s superior master posture, with a casual and indifferent attitude on his face, the woman on the left with her hair in a bun and a blue cross-collared coat with large sleeves seemed to be very dissatisfied. She frowned fiercely and said, “You are just a slave serving the prince. How dare you be so rude in front of me and the prince’s concubine?”

Her voice was low and her attitude was bad. It seemed to her that Joey was an unreasonable, annoying and lowly servant.

Joey’s expression didn’t change, as if he hadn’t heard anything, and he didn’t even look at the woman.

The woman received a cold look, and the anger in her heart was suddenly aroused. She slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Joey and said angrily: “Who do you really think you are?! It’s just a despicable thing that the prince keeps in the house when he is bored. How dare you provoke this princess!”

As soon as these words came out, Joey had no reaction, but Jiang Qin on the other side seemed a little bored with her, frowned, moved to the side, and then said coldly: “Princess Lin is really loud. Master Qiao only invited me here, but you insisted on following me. Now you are sitting here, but you can only yell. Is this the etiquette you should have as a princess?”

“You…” Wei Minrao, who didn’t expect Jiang Qin to speak for Joey, was stunned for a moment and forgot to continue to accuse Joey. She tilted her head and looked down at Jiang Qin, “What do you mean? I am your mother-in-law! He is just one…”

Jiang Qin picked up the tea cup expressionlessly and interrupted Wei Minrao’s words, “Princess Lin seems to have forgotten that you are just the successor of Prince Lin, not the biological mother of Crown Prince Rong Hua. How can you be called my mother-in-law. I would agree to you coming with me, but it is just because you are holding me down with the Queen Mother. Without me, you can’t even get in through the door of Baixiangyuan.”

“…”

As if she had been stabbed in a painful spot, Wei Minrao’s body stiffened and she retracted her hand angrily, but she still did not forget to give Joey a hard look with her eyes.

Joey was indifferent, playing with the dagger in his hand boredly.

After Wei Minrao calmed down, Jiang Qin looked at Joey and said, “Master Qiao invited me over. You just want to buy me a cup of tea, right?”

Joey paused and looked at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin looked directly at Joey, raised his hand, and pushed the teacup in front of Joey, “The tea you have here tastes very good. I would like Mr. Qiao to refill it for me.”

Joey lowered his eyes and saw that the tea had barely disappeared in the tea cup, then raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin looked at Joey, lightly tapped the table with his green-white fingers, then tilted his head slightly, half-smiling, “Some cold tea residue that is difficult to drink should be left in the cup and thrown away, right?”

Without saying a word, Joey reached out and poured out the cold tea in the cup, then poured another cup of hot tea for Jiang Qin.

“Won’t you give it a try, Princess?” Jiang Qin picked up the teacup from the table again and looked at the teacup in front of her.She seemed a little disgusted. She turned the rim of the cup around and took a sip. Then she turned her head and saw the motionless tea on Wei Minrao’s table. She asked directly: “The tea cakes collected by Prince Rong Hua are indeed much better than those from Zhenmin Pavilion.”

Zhenmin Pavilion is Wei Minrao’s residence in Prince Lin’s Mansion.

Hearing Jiang Qin belittle the treasures she brought back from Yunzhou, Wei Minrao didn’t care about anything else and drank the tea in front of her in one gulp.

“What kind of tea is this!” Wei Minrao seemed to have drank some dirty water, and she didn’t care about any etiquette. She kept retching to the side. While she was disgusted, she said to Jiang Qin: “This kind of tea is not even remotely comparable to the one in my Zhenmei Pavilion. Did you taste it wrong?”

“Wrong?” Jiang Qin also seemed a little confused and looked at the cup in his hand carefully, “Oh, I made a mistake. I accidentally picked up the wrong cup. What you just took was the teacup I put something on.”

“What did you put there?” Wei Minrao never expected Jiang Qin to do this. She pointed at Jiang Qin in disbelief and said, “You…I…”

Before the last words were spoken, Wei Minrao fainted and fell on the table.

The smile on Jiang Qin’s face stopped abruptly, and she looked coldly at Wei Minrao who fell into a coma, and without hesitation reached out and took off the white jade bracelet on her left hand.

Joey was watching Jiang Qin’s movements quietly from the side.

“Does it look good?” After Jiang Qin put away the bracelet, she raised her eyes and met Joey’s eyes. “This drug… ha! Your Crown Prince Rong Hua gave it to me. Don’t tell me, it’s quite useful.”

Joey: “The Crown Princess…”

Upon hearing this title, Jiang Qin’s expression instantly turned cold, “Ha! You should leave the identity and title of Crown Princess to yourself. Don’t come here to disgust me.”

Joey’s expression was indifferent, “That’s not mine either.”

Hearing this, Jiang Qin laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, “Do you think if that lunatic Lou Ling knew what you said and your attitude now, would he rush back from that old woman directly?”

Joey said nothing.

Jiang Qin was originally not curious about the emotional relationship between Joey and Lou Ling, but now that she saw Joey’s attitude, she became interested, “If I remember correctly, the relationship between you and Joey started ten years ago, right? What? After so long, the relationship between you has faded? Is it because of the scene that Lou Ling and I performed yesterday?”

“No.”

The relationship between him and Lou Ling had never started at all, and it faded away somewhere.

If it weren’t for Lou Ling accidentally being poisoned by the medicine Wei Minrao gave to Xiao Feng at the family banquet half a month ago, Joey thought to himself, maybe the relationship between him and Lou Ling would still be the same as before.

“No? What’s that for?” Jiang Qin was really curious now. She tilted her head, stared at Joey like a cat, and looked at Joey doubtfully.

Facing Jiang Qin’s curiosity, Joey had a headache. He deliberately wanted to avoid the topic, “I asked you to come here today because I want to tell you about Jiang Xu.”

When Jiang Xu was mentioned, Jiang Qin’s expression paled obviously, “I know.”

“You know?”

“Jiang Xu’s death was caused by the Wei family.” Jiang Qin said coldly, “I also know that was Wei Shanlian’s intention.”

Joey looked at the undisguised hatred in Jiang Qin’s eyes and remained silent.

“The old woman killed her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild in order to gain power. Why wouldn’t she dare to do it? Now she’s attacking the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, ha!” Jiang Qin’s voice became colder and colder. “Thinking that by killing Jiang Xu, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will have no heir, and my father will have no son, so she can take control of my father? How can it be that easy?”

Listening to Jiang Qin’s words, Joey was reminded of what happened ten years ago, and his mood also faded.

When Qiao Yunlan and Lou Mengli died, Joey never thought that someone would deliberately tamper with their carriage.It wasn’t until later that he went back to Jiangzhou specifically for Lou Ling’s leg and found the letter Wei Shanlian sent to Qiao Yunlan from the capital ten years ago in the Qin Mansion that Joey truly understood everything.

The letter Wei Shanlian sent to Qiao Yunlan only briefly mentioned a few things about the capital, and the rest were warnings and warnings to Qiao Yunlan.In addition, she also made it clear to Qiao Yunlan in black and white that she wanted Qiao Yunlan to take action against Lou Mengli and Lou Ling who were still in Jiangzhou.

Qiao Yunlan obviously didn’t want to do this, so after some hesitation, she simply asked Joey and Lou Ling to return to Beijing together to express her attitude to Wei Shanlian.

But Wei Shanlian didn’t care about Joey’s existence. The fact that she was able to send Qiao Yunlan to Jiangzhou and not let her return to the capital for more than ten years already showed that in her eyes, Qiao Yunlan was nothing more than a chess piece.

In the two months since Joey arrived in the capital, no one from the Qiao family has ever mentioned that he should go live with the Qiao family.I wonder who means that.

If it weren’t for the conflict between Joey and Zhang Wujing, which caused the Zhang family to be in chaos, Wei Shanlian wouldn’t even want to look at Joey again.

Joey lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and remembered what he heard Wei Shanlian say in Quanqing Palace that day after Zhang Wujing hurt him ten years ago.

Joey, who didn’t understand anything at first, might not think there was any problem, but after Fang Qingzhou and seeing the letter, Joey was sure that Wei Shanlian knew that he was still awake and deliberately said it to let him know.

As long as it can confuse Joey and make him choose to follow Lou Ling, as for whether the content is true or false, how can Joey, a child raised by a cheap slave, know.

Ten years… a whole ten years…

Joey took another sip of the cold tea and thought it was time to fight back.

Seeing Joey’s silent look, Jiang Qin was not in the mood to care about the love-hate relationship between him and Lou Ling, and looked sideways at Wei Minrao, who was still unconscious.

“Ha! You don’t know that when she was rejected this morning, Wei Minrao’s expression looked like someone had stuffed her with shit, tsk tsk…” The more Jiang Qin thought about it, the more funny she felt, and sneered: “I don’t know how she, who has only been in the palace for less than a year, has such a big face, and dares to point fingers at Lou Ling’s people.”

Wei Minrao is the second daughter of the current Empress Dowager’s mother’s family. She was married to Xiao Feng by the Empress Dowager six months ago and became Princess Lin. Now she can be regarded as half the master of Prince Lin’s Mansion.

“Hey!” Thinking of how Wei Minrao became Princess Lin, Jiang Qin felt that this person was very shameless. “She dared to shamelessly cry and beg the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to grant her a marriage with Prince Lin, just because the Empress Dowager is now in power.”

Since the death of Lou Mengli and Qiao Yunlan, many people have passed away one after another in the past ten years. The first emperor, the first empress, and the prince all disappeared in the same year.

The current emperor is the second son of the late emperor, Xiao Bin.The biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Lian, sat in the position of the Queen Mother, and the original Queen Mother, Wei Shanlian, became the current Queen Mother.

The dagger in Joey’s hand gently tapped the table, and he was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Qin was talking to herself, “Do you really think that just letting someone from the Wei family come in? Tsk! Who is the person in charge of Prince Lin’s Mansion and the Lou Family? Doesn’t that old woman still know? She only bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, and gives people to Lou Ling if she can. King Lin is really miserable. He has lost his wife for seven or eight years, and suddenly he is disgusted like this again, tut!”

Joey didn’t know what he heard, and suddenly paused, seemingly casually asking something that he had been caring about since yesterday, “Why did Lou Ling agree to marry you?”

Jiang Qin looked at Joey strangely and said honestly: “He didn’t agree, and I didn’t agree either. Yesterday was just a show, there was no one in the sedan.”

“What about the worship service?”

“Can’t you just find someone to cover your head?” Thinking of yesterday’s incident, Jiang Qin only found it funny. She shrugged with a nonchalant expression: “Anyway, I am worshiping a chicken, so it doesn’t matter. At most, I will be said a few words in private by those who don’t know about it.”

“…”

Joey suddenly felt that he was stupid for climbing over the wall and running out yesterday.

Jiang Qin looked at Joey and suddenly saw some mark on Joey’s body. She paused and suddenly realized something, and said in surprise: “Don’t you know?”

Joey pretended to calmly take a sip of tea and asked, “Should I know?”

“How could it be possible?” Jiang Qin felt a little strange, “How could Lou Ling not explain a word clearly to you when he was preparing to make such a big move? He…”

Before Jiang Qin finished speaking, the door of Baixiangyuan was suddenly knocked, and a high-pitched voice came from outside.

“Mr. Qiao, the Queen Mother’s decree has arrived. Come out quickly to receive it!”

Jiang Qin sneered, “What a coincidence…”

“…”

Joey tilted his head and met Jiang Qin’s eyes.

Jiang Qin spread his hands and shrugged.
