Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 242 - I Have You in My Heart  



Chapter 242: I Have You in My Heart

When Qiao Jinniang boarded the carriage and saw this scene, she didn’t ask anyone to rescue Tong Yingying.

Seeing what Zhou Sisi did, she already knew who the person behind was.

She just didn’t expect that Zhou Sisi dared pretend to be retarded and killed someone in public.

Since they dared to slander her, she would certainly retaliate.

Qiao Jinniang whispered to Yuyan, “Go find that Tong Xuan who often gives me gifts.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Tong Yingying looked at Qiao Jinniang and begged for help. “Help, help me…”

However, Qiao Jinniang lowered the curtain of the carriage. She was not so kind-hearted as to rescue Tong Yingying, an idiot who tried to set her up and had offended her more than once.

She had already given Tong Yingying a chance, but she didn’t cherish it and even helped others to make false accusations against her…

The guard of honor of the Crown Princess gradually receded, and Tong Yingying stared at the guard of honor. How she hoped that the person sitting in the sedan chair carried by sixteen people was her…

Back in the imperial palace, Qiao Jinniang told Lu Chen that she had sent troops to surround the Qin family.

Lu Chen frowned and said, “You shouldn’t have used the Qiao family’s soldiers and horses. Why don’t you use the soldiers and horses of the East Palace?”

Qiao Jinniang said, “If I use the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, imperial censors will definitely impeach you, and the Qiao family still has the Absolution Token anyway, and this is also my father and my brother’s opinion.”

Although Duke Anyuan didn’t want to be suspected by the Emperor, he would definitely not turn a blind eye to his daughter’s death.

Lu Chen was a little unhappy, but Qiao Jinniang didn’t notice it. She fanned her fan and said, “The Qin family tried to murder Ruoyun but was still playing innocent today. They even instigated Tong Yingying to come and accuse me as the murderer!”

Only then did Qiao Jinniang notice that Lu Chen purposely ignored her. She said, “I have to report this matter to Father. Would you accompany me to the Hanliang Palace?”

Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “You don’t turn to me for help until you’ve done everything. What do you take me for?”

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen suspiciously. “What’s the matter with you? Are you worried that you will be implicated because I rashly had the soldiers surround the Qin family? Don’t worry. All the soldiers are our Qiao family’s soldiers. If Father wants to punish you, I will take the blame alone.”

After all, the Qin family had a noble title, and Fourth Miss Qin was the concubine of Prince Huai.

Even if there was evidence that the Qiao family killed Qiao Ruoyun, they would probably hand over a servant as their scapegoat.

Besides, Qiao Ruoyun didn’t die. According to Datang’s law, the Duke Qin Mansion probably would not face any punishment.

Therefore, Qiao Jinniang and Qiao Lu had soldiers surround the Qin mansion after much discussion.

If the law of Datang could not punish the Qin family, the Qiao family would avenge their daughter on their own.

Seeing that Lu Chen’s face was getting darker and darker, Qiao Jinniang said grumpily, “If you think I’ve caused you trouble, I’ll go to Hanliang Palace to ask for punishment. But they’ve tried to kill Ruoyun, I can’t just let them off.”

Lu Chen clenched Qiao Jinniang’s hand and asked, “What am I in your eyes? You’d rather trust your younger brother whom you have only known for less than a year, rather than trust me?

“You’re my wife. Do you think I will be afraid of being implicated by you?

“Since you and I have known each other, have I ever disappointed you? But now you would rather discuss with the Qiao family than me?

“You’ve been prepared for the worst, but you never thought of using the means of the East Palace to deal with the Qin family?

“How do you know that I will endure the Qin family? How can I let the Qin family bully you?

“Qiao Jinniang, you and I are husband and wife, but you think I will be afraid of being implicated by you? What a joke.”

Lu Chen’s voice grew louder, but when he saw Qiao Jinniang’s eyes turn red, he couldn’t help sighing and gently wiping her tears. “Why are you crying? Don’t cry.”

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen with tears in her eyes and said, “What do you mean by I would rather believe in the Qiao family than in you? I just don’t want to hear others say all your supporters left you because of me!

“Duke Qin is a duke after all. If you, the Crown Prince, have soldiers surround a duke’s mansion, what will outsiders think of you?

“I didn’t want you to get hurt, so I didn’t want you to be involved in this matter, but you are yelling at me, saying that I don’t trust you!”

Lu Chen hugged Qiao Jinniang in his arms, and said softly, “Sorry, I have mistaken your intentions.”

Although he didn’t admit that he had yelled at Qiao Jinniang, his experience told him that he’d better admit his mistake as soon as possible.

Qiao Jinniang raised her eyes to look at Lu Chen. “Like how?”

Lu Chen: “…”

“I forgot the fact that you and I are husband and wife, so I was afraid of implicating you…”

Qiao Jinniang could tell Lu Chen’s irony, and sighed, “What if you lose your position as the crown prince because of me? After all, you care so much about your position as the crown prince…”

Lu Chen lowered his head and said, “In my heart, is the position of the crown prince or are you more important? Can’t you tell?”

“Of course the former.”

Qiao Jinniang replied without hesitation. After all, even at this time last year, he said that he would not give up the position of crown prince for her.

Lu Chen took a deep breath. “If the position of the crown prince is more important, would I have given up the Duke Wu Mansion for you?”

Qiao Jinniang said, “Don’t say that. I can’t repay you anything for it… If you want the Duke Wu Mansion back, go to Zhou Sisi…”

Lu Chen looked straight into her eyes and said, “Am I so dispensable in your eyes?”

Hearing the quarrel inside at the door, Yuyan could only say loudly, “Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, His Majesty asked you two to go to the Hanliang Palace.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a slight disappointment in his eyes, “In Lin’an, if not me, you could still easily find another man to marry into your family, and after returning to Chang’an, you could also easily find a husband.

“To you, I am nothing. Although we shared the same bed for so many years, I’m still not even as important as Qiao Lu who you have only met more than ten times!”

Qiao Jinniang felt very aggrieved. Everyone said that Lu Chen lost all his supporters because of her.

Therefore, in the matter of Qiao Ruoyun, she didn’t want to involve Lu Chen at all.

She was considering Lu Chen wholeheartedly, but in the end, he thought of her like that!

Qiao Jinniang said huffily, “Yes, I could easily find a man to marry into my family in Lin’an. Without you, there were still a lot of excellent young men waiting for me to pick! I chose you just because you had amnesia and were easier to control.

“After returning to Chang’an, I could also easily find a husband.

“Yes, you are not as important as my younger brother who I have only met less than ten times! Satisfied?”

Lu Chen pursed his thin lips tightly, and after a long while, he said, “Then when will I be the only man in the world that you’re willing to marry?

“When will you feel that I am more reliable and trustworthy than Qiao Lu?

“How long will it take for you to understand that husband and wife are one?

“How well do I have to treat you so that you can have me in your heart, and so that you will think that I am more important than Xi’er?”

“Forget it, let’s go to Hanliang Palace first.”

Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand.

Qiao Jinniang took Lu Chen’s hand back and said, “If I haven’t had you in my heart, why would I be afraid of implicating you?

“I discussed this matter with Qiao Lu because Qiao Ruoyun is also his sister, but Ruoyun has nothing to do with you. Why should I involve you in this matter?

“Believe it or not, you’re the only man in the world that I’m willing to marry now. If you dare to dump me, I will use all the poisons Huixiang and the others gave me on you.

“If I didn’t care about you, why would I not allow you to take a concubine? Although it’s because I hate the fights between wives and concubines, what’s more important is that I care about you!

“If I don’t care about you, even if you take a lot of concubines, having the Duke Anyuan Mansion behind me, I won’t be afraid of those women!”

Lu Chen stopped and looked at Qiao Jinniang and said, “But in your heart, Xi’er will always be more important than me.”

Qiao Jinniang smiled and said, “That’s for sure. If we have a daughter in the future, she will be more important than you too.”
