Chapter 400 - Even the Prince of Pingyang can&Chapter x27;t protect you
The next day.
Qiao Nian entered the Prime Minister's Mansion again to visit Meng Yingzhi.
Perhaps because of the scolding by Princess Shu Yuan before, Qiao Nian never saw Wan Zeyue during the several visits to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But today, before she could push the door open, she saw Wan Zeyue walking out of Meng Yingzhi's room.
Qiao Nian's face subconsciously darkened, and he even forgot to perform the etiquette.
When Wan Zeyue saw Qiao Nian like this, his eyes, which were already filled with contempt, became even more displeased, "Now that Lord Qiao has followed Her Royal Highness the Princess, he is really arrogant. He won't even bow to me when he sees me?"
Qiao Nian then bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Master Wan."
Seeing this, Wan Zeyue just snorted coldly and then strode away.
As soon as Wan Zeyue left, Qiao Nian hurried into the house.
The worries in my heart became true.
I saw Meng Yingzhi huddled in the corner at the end of the bed, his hands tightly hugging his shoulders, his body trembling slightly.
A pair of eyes were extremely dull.
The clothes were badly wrinkled.
Qiao Nian frowned and didn't dare to get closer for a moment, for fear of startling Meng Yingzhi.
Just then, Meng Yingzhi's maid came in with a bowl of medicine.
Seeing Meng Yingzhi's condition, he was suddenly shocked and the bowl of medicine in his hand fell to the ground.
The crisp sound instantly excited Meng Yingzhi.
The hands waved desperately, "Don't hit me! I was wrong, don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
The little maidservant burst into tears and rushed forward to hug Meng Yingzhi, "Madam, it's me, don't be afraid, it's me!"
But Meng Yingzhi was very excited.
Instead of comforting her, the maidservant was slapped several times by her frantically struggling hands and even had her neck scratched.
Seeing this, Qiao Nian strode forward, pulled the little maid away, and then chopped Meng Yingzhi's neck with a knife.
Meng Yingzhi fell down immediately, and the little maidservant couldn't stand up because of crying, so she knelt on the ground.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left the eldest young lady. Wuwuwu. The eldest young lady's condition had improved a lot. This morning she even told me that she wanted to eat some sweet cakes. I went to the kitchen to make some but it's still not ready. I didn't expect that the eldest young lady would be taken away by the eldest young master again... Wuwuwu..."
The little maid cried so sadly, and it could be seen that she was indeed a kind-hearted girl.
But what if she didn't leave?
Wan Zeyue is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't it easy for him to send a maid away?
Even if this little maid was beaten, who would dare to say anything?
Qiao Nian didn't respond and went forward to check on Meng Yingzhi's condition.
She lifted up Meng Yingzhi's sleeve and saw several purple marks on the originally fair arm.
It was pinched out.
She came to Meng Yingzhi almost every day and remembered clearly that she didn't have these injuries yesterday.
It was clearly Wan Zeyue who pinched it just now!
How much force would it take to pinch a person so hard that they would turn purple instantly?
In addition to his arms, Meng Yingzhi also had similar pinch marks on his thighs.
Even worse than the one on the arm.
This Wan Zeyue was really cunning, pinching places that others wouldn't easily see.
However, the areas visible to others, such as Meng Yingzhi's face and neck, did not have any injuries at all.
In this way, even if Meng Yingzhi found someone to reason with, he could not show his injuries to others.
How could a lady from a noble family expose her body so casually?
Qiao Nian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was about to burst out of his heart.
She worked hard for many days to make Meng Yingzhi's condition improve a little, but Wan Zeyue suddenly did this, making all her hard work of the past few days almost go to waste!
Meng Yingzhi is not awake yet, how can she find an antidote for Brother Xiao?
no!
Meng Yingzhi must not stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion any longer!
Thinking of this, Qiao Nian turned to look at the little maid beside her and said, "Go and inform the Wan family that I want to take Meng Yingzhi away."
Hearing this, the little maid was shocked.
She also knew that it was best for the eldest young lady to leave now, but why should she inform the Wan family?
"Qiao, Master Qiao, why don't you secretly take the eldest young lady away? Slave, I can help you watch over her!"
"Help me keep an eye on this, and then what? If the Wan family finds out that you are a traitor, they can easily kill you as a servant!" Qiao Nian said coldly, "Go and inform the Wan family immediately. No matter which family the master is, just call them over. I know what to do."
The little maid then trembled and said, "Yes."
After saying this, the little maid hurried out.
Before long, Meng Yingzhi's yard became extremely lively.
Except for the Prime Minister who was still in the palace discussing government affairs with the Emperor, almost all members of the Wan family had arrived.
Especially Wan Zeyue, who was the first to rush in after receiving the news, trying to settle the score with Qiao Nian.
But who would have thought that before he even entered the door, he was accurately pierced in the thigh by a silver needle shot from inside the house. The pain made his whole leg numb and he fell to the ground, wailing in agony.
The old lady of the Wan family came hurriedly, supported by the ladies of several other rooms. What she saw was her most beloved eldest grandson lying on the ground wailing and struggling.
He was immediately furious, and Longtouguai knocked hard on the ground, "What a female doctor, how dare she commit murder and hurt people in my Prime Minister's Mansion! Come on, take that bitch down! I will personally take her to the palace and find out who ordered her to come to my Prime Minister's Mansion to show off her power!"
The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion responded immediately and made a gesture to rush into the house.
Who would have thought that a few more silver needles were shot out from the room. Although they were dodged by the guards, they still frightened the other party.
No one expected that Qiao Nian had this skill.
I only heard Qiao Nian's voice coming slowly, "Why is Madam Wan so angry? We can talk it out."
As he was speaking, Qiao Nian had already walked out slowly and stood at the door. His small body blocked the guards' way.
Madam Wan's eyebrows sank, "I forgot that Miss Qiao is the daughter of the Marquis's family. She has been practicing martial arts since she was young, so it's not surprising that she has this skill! But no matter who you are, if you dare to hurt someone in my Wan family, I will not let you go!"
Qiao Nian looked at Madam Wan, who was full of anger, and just curled her lips and chuckled, "Madam Wan, calm down. Everything Qiao Nian did today was for the good of the Wan family."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Zeyue's biological mother, the first wife of the Qiao family, exclaimed, "What nonsense are you saying? Not only did you hurt people, but you even dared to tease our old lady like this! I tell you, if my son does anything wrong, I will never forgive you!"
"That's right!" Madam Wan took over the conversation again, "Let alone the Marquis' Mansion, even if Prince Pingyang came today, I will never let you off easily!"
With the strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be easy to deal with Qiao Nian.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian laughed out loud instead, "Why didn't Minister Wan tell the old lady that I came here on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
