Chapter 139 Nowhere to Go
Chapter 139 Nowhere to Go
Chu Jia couldn't accept the speed at which this woman changed her expression. She had just been so gentle and caring to her, comforting her, and acting like she was thinking about her.
But once all her secrets were exposed, she turned hostile. It's so insidious.
How can this be what a gentleman does?
But she couldn't do anything to her.
The point is, what she was worried about was that if she gave up and sought liberation like herself, what would she do if she turned back into Yan Qingning?
It was not easy for her to get rid of Yan Qingning's identity.
Her answer was a carriage slowly passing by her.
Chu Jia stomped her feet in anger.
Her mother couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what does Concubine Ning mean? Did she bully you?"
Chu Jia woke up instantly and glared at the mother and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Sixth Aunt bully me? She just didn't want to take me to ride horses."
When the mother heard her words, she felt something was wrong. "But the princess just said that Concubine Ning was ruthless..."
"You know nothing. Don't misinterpret my words. Aunt Six said that she would take me on horseback after we settled the debt. But she said that riding a horse is dangerous and I am not allowed to learn it."
The mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Concubine Ning really cares about the princess and is also concerned about her safety. She did the right thing. The princess should not be angry..."
The more Chu Jia listened, the more upset he felt, and he walked away angrily.
Here, Yan Qingning ignored the original owner. She had coaxed her these days and had spoiled her enough.
If she still wants to use her, she has to ask her opinion.
Without Chu Jia by her side, Yan Qingning felt a lot more at ease...
But I can't help but wonder what Chu Jia will do next.
It is obvious that Chu Jia cannot let go of the hatred from her previous life. Although she has cut off ties with everyone from her previous life as she wished, it is obvious that she cannot let go of her younger brother and aunt.
This is also human nature and the bond of blood. Objectively speaking, she is not a bad person.
But what made her wary was that the original owner knew that Yan Qingyi was a boy.
Then Yan Xiwei must know it too.
However, Yan Xiwei has not taken any action until now. Yan Qingning feels that Yan Xiwei must not have forgotten.
If she hadn't found the opportunity to strike, she might have been planning something...
Chu Jia also chose to wait and see, instead of going to the Minister of the Central Secretariat to expose the matter.
Because she knew very well that without complete preparation and safety guarantees, now was definitely not the best time to reveal her brother's affairs.
But what does all this have to do with me?
Yan Qingning sneered at herself. She had no idea about her own affairs yet. She was really bored and had nothing better to do than worry about others.
If the original owner died, then she, as a time traveler, should assume some of the original owner's responsibilities both morally and emotionally.
But now, since the original owner is still alive, he is lucky enough to have become someone else.
That hatred is her hatred, and the blood relatives are also hers. The worries, concerns, and responsibilities should also be borne by the original owner, right?
The more Yan Qingning thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She raised her hand and pinched her brows, then said calmly, "Stop the car."
The driver outside stopped the carriage obediently and said, "Concubine Ning, we still have a long way to go. It will take a while to get to the palace. Do you want to buy anything?"
"Well, you go back first, I'll go back by myself later."
"This..." The driver was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this bad?"
Yan Qingning lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What's wrong with that?"
"You are alone. If something happens, I will not be able to explain to the prince. I'd better follow behind..." the coachman said hesitantly.
"No need," Yan Qingning said with a serious face, "Who dares to do this in broad daylight? If you follow me, I won't be able to concentrate on shopping. Let's go back."
Yan Qingning decided to take advantage of the convenience to give herself a day off.
She should get to know the capital city in advance, so that when she is free, she won’t act like a fool when she leaves the palace.
If a person is kept in a circle for too long, he will really become stupid.
Just like she is now, as if she had walked out of the mountains.
I find everything new and I want to buy it all, as if I have never seen the world.
Especially if you have money in your hands.
But she had no preparation and couldn't take it away after buying it.
With the things in hand, she seemed unable to go shopping.
Besides, the palace didn’t seem like her own home. She bought too many things and it would be troublesome to move.
In her mind, the palace is at most an institution, a company...
For a moment, Yan Qingning felt like she was sleepwalking. All the people here were people in her dream, and she was the only one who was alone.
But she was confused again, as if even this body was not her own.
She is not even alone...
She was just a lonely soul from another world living in this body that even the original owner despised!
There is no way forward and no way back, so what is she hustling for?
Those struggles, those fights, those grudges, all seemed to have suddenly lost their meaning.
Yan Qingning stood bewilderedly on the busy street.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums, and many people swarmed towards her, and she was involuntarily swallowed up in the vast crowd.
In her confusion, she only saw the flower carriage with bright and gorgeous canopies.
A charming woman was sitting in the car with colorful gauze fluttering.
The woman was like the oiran in the drama, with a charming smile, plump red lips, and an enchanting and attractive appearance.
"Xia Yu..."
"Xia Yu."
"Xia Yu..."
Yan Qingning could hear people enthusiastically reciting this name.
The float stopped at some point, and beautiful music began to play, as if the whole world had quieted down...
All the noise was replaced by the woman's heavenly singing voice.
At some point, she was squeezed out of the crowd.
She looked around blankly for a while, feeling very bored, but found that there was nowhere to go.
When I looked up, I saw a pavilion with elegant decorations, named "Shuiyunjian", with an inconspicuous word "Jiu" in the middle, which made it look like a restaurant.
She walked in, and the place was filled with elegance.
Even the waiter's dress was different from usual. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a servant of some wealthy family.
Speak enthusiastically and behave politely.
Yan Qingning asked around and found out that there was indeed wine in Shuiyunjian.
Yan Qingning didn't bother to ask where it was.
According to the waiter, the seats on the second floor are more expensive than those on the first floor, so she chose the second floor.
Although there are fewer guests on the second floor than on the first floor, it is not much less.
But they were all male guests, and they were all dressed like rich or noble people.
Perhaps because she was an outlier, as soon as she came up, the men at several tables all looked at her.
Yan Qingning didn't care about those gazes. Since no one had stipulated that women were not allowed to enter such places, why should she care whether there were female guests or not?
She chose a seat by the window and ordered some food and wine for herself. She looked down and saw people still coming and going.
But the float has disappeared.
He poured himself a bottle of wine and drank it by himself. After almost finishing it, Yan Qingning felt a little tipsy.
I just poured the last glass of wine and haven’t put down the jug yet.
A masculine voice came from my ear, "Sister, your wine is gone. It's okay. I have some..."
