Chapter 38: The Poisonous Tongue Childhood General 6
Obviously, Qi Yu also realized this. He panicked and opened the closet to get in, but was stopped by Jiang Wan.
"No, there's no room in the closet, come with me!"
Just as the maid was about to push the door open, Jiang Wan pulled Qi Yu directly onto the bed and covered him tightly with a quilt.
"Miss, what was that noise just now?"
The maid lit the lamp, and the room became much brighter. Jiang Wan held up his forehead, his face slightly pale, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare and got scared. Leave the light on in the room, you can go back and rest first."
After taking a closer look and making sure that there was nothing unusual in the room, the maid left.
The moment the door closed, Qi Yu, who was hiding under the quilt, suddenly stood up and hurriedly jumped out of bed.
Following the candlelight, Jiang Wan saw his flushed face. Their eyes met, and Qi Yu was the first to lose patience and looked away in panic.
"I'm here to tell you that Xie Changshu is not a good man. He has a wife outside. Don't be fooled by him."
Jiang Wan raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "Is this your reason for breaking into my boudoir and ruining my reputation?"
Qi Yu was in the wrong and stood there in a daze, unable to argue.
He was wrong in this matter. He had clearly planned to leave after delivering the letter, but he could not resist his greed and almost ruined Jiang Wan's reputation.
"The letter has been delivered. I'm leaving now."
Qi Yu didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around to leave, but he didn't expect Jiang Wan to grab the envelope beside the bed and throw it to the ground viciously.
"Qi Yu, you overestimate your own status. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs? Take your letter and get out of here. I don't want to see you again!"
The neat envelope just lay there alone on the ground, but Qi Yu didn't move.
Jiang Wan was so angry that her chest was heaving. "There is no possibility between us. Just because you don't want to get married doesn't mean I must have you. I just want to find a husband who loves me, so please don't bother me anymore. I know who Xie Changshu is better than you. I don't need you to come here and report the news. Hurry up and take your things and leave. It's free for others to see me and ruin my reputation!"
After saying that, Jiang Wan didn't care about his reaction. She just lay back on the bed and slept with her back to him.
Through the light screen, Jiang Wan saw Qi Yu standing there for a long time. It was not until the sky gradually brightened that he picked up the letter on the ground and turned to leave.
......
The life of a girl in the boudoir is too boring, and the only way to have fun and relieve boredom is to attend various poetry banquets.
The only difference is that for Jiang Wan's safety, Jiang Zhijin will always accompany her. Even if she is delayed by official business, Jiang Wan will always be accompanied by a few more guards.
Qi Yu's warning had no effect, because Jiang Wan did not deliberately keep a distance from Xie Changshu.
On this day, Qi Yu, as usual, avoided the crowd and hid in a tree, staring into the distance with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a few young talents came under the tree.
"Brother Xie, in my opinion, Miss Jiang is very fond of you. I'm afraid it won't be long before you become the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"
When he heard the word Grand Tutor's Mansion, Qi Yu's attention was instantly drawn to it.
"With Grand Tutor Jiang as your father-in-law, Brother Xie will surely have a bright future. If you become successful in the future, don't forget us, your old friends!"
Xie Changshu refused again and again, but the pride on his face was real, as if he had already determined that Jiang Wan would marry him.
In Qi Yu's eyes, that smile was so dazzling no matter how he looked at it.
"You are so bold as to talk about the young lady of the Grand Tutor's Mansion in private!" Qi Yu scolded.
When the people who were complimenting each other looked up, they saw Qi Yu's ashen face.
Of course they recognized the Second Young Master of Duke Qi's Mansion. They heard that the Second Young Master Qi was also a student of Grand Tutor Jiang. Now he was caught talking about Miss Jiang behind her back. The group of people were scared to death.
Xie Changshu felt that he and Jiang Wan were about to get married, so how could anything go wrong at this critical juncture?
If these words were to reach the ears of Grand Tutor Jiang, not only would he not be able to become the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but even his official career would be over.
Moreover, although Qi Yu has a noble status and a great reputation, everyone knows that the Qiguo Mansion has been weak for a long time. He is just a paper tiger who relies on the reputation of his ancestors to get by. What's the harm in offending him?
So, there was no way he would admit it.
"Second Master, maybe you heard it wrong. We never talked about Miss Jiang just now..."
Several people looked at each other and instantly understood what Xie Changshu meant. They all agreed, "Yes, yes, the Second Young Master was sitting in a tree far away, and the wind was strong, so it's understandable that he heard it wrong."
"Even if we were brave enough, we wouldn't dare to talk about the daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion behind her back. It's just that the Second Young Master heard it wrong..."
Listening to them singing the same tune and trying to portray black as white, Qi Yu could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.
Just as he climbed down the tree and was about to have a good talk with the others, Jiang Wan came rushing over from not far away and shouted, "Qi Yu, what are you doing!"
Qi Yu paused. He was about to explain something, but Xie Changshu spoke first.
"Miss Jiang, please don't blame Mr. Qi. He just misheard what we said. For your reputation, he was in a hurry and questioned us! He also had good intentions, please don't misunderstand him!"
Is Xie Changshu explaining for Qi Yu? This is clearly adding fuel to the fire, fearing that they will not be able to make trouble!
Qi Yu was so angry that he wanted to teach him a lesson immediately, but he didn't expect Jiang Wan to take two quick steps and stand directly in front of Xie Changshu.
Xie Changshu was even more proud in his heart, but his face was full of grievance, "Please don't have any grudges between me and the Second Young Master Qi. Although I don't know why the Second Young Master Qi dislikes me so much, as long as he is satisfied, it's worth it even if Changshu suffers a little."
As soon as Cha Yi Piao Xiang's words came out, Qi Yu instantly became furious.
"I don't like you? I falsely accuse you? Xie Changshu, you know exactly what you said just now!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Jiang Wan again, "This group of people are talking about you behind your back. Xie Changshu is even more daring. He has already regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Jiang Wan, are you sure you want to protect this scum?"
Before Jiang Wan could answer, Xie Changshu had already spoken: "It's all my fault. I did say things I shouldn't have said. I apologize to Second Young Master Qi!"
Unexpectedly, before he could even get to Xie Changshu, Jiang Wan stopped him, "Mr. Xie, I believe you are innocent."
For a moment, Qi Yu stood there in a daze.
But Jiang Wan's next words were like a bolt from the blue, breaking his heart into pieces.
"Master Xie, you don't know that Qi Yu has always been so perverse and naughty. With me here today, he can't touch you!"
