C82 (2/2)
Qiao Xinting was shocked, but she still maintained a smile on her face as she replied, ”Sister is not feeling well. I'm afraid that I might infect the sisters, so I didn't go. Please forgive me, sister.”
Qiao Ya walked forward with a beaming smile and held Qiao Xinting's hand. She said coldly, ”Look at little sister's cold hands. Second sister, aren't we going to look for Siyuan and play hide-and-seek together? Xin Ting, do you want to go with me? ”
Qiao Xinting tried to pull her hand away, but found that Qiao Ya was holding it tightly.
Although Qiao Xin Ting had not interacted much with Qiao Ya and Qiao Yin before, she had been able to read the expressions on their faces since she was young. How could she not see the malice on their faces?
Struggling to retreat, he didn't expect that Qiao Yin would step forward and grab her other arm. Still wearing the same fake smile that didn't reach her eyes, he pulled Qiao Xinting towards the pond behind the fake mountain.
Qiao Xinting retreated with all her might and shook her head. With a trembling voice, she cried, ”I …” ”I'm not going …”
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya shot each other a glance. Their expressions suddenly turned malevolent. Their usual delicate appearance no longer remained. They viciously pulled Qiao Xinting towards the fake mountain.
He used his mouth to lightly stroke the back of Qiao Liangjin's head. Qiao Liangjin turned around and rubbed the top of her head, and said softly: ”It's not time yet, I'll let Qiao Xinting know how terrifying this Prime Minister's Residence is. It's not like she can let her off just because she has nothing to do with the world.”
He had been a monster for hundreds of years, but he had only whistled through the forest and the mountains. He did not have so many scheming and scheming, nor did he have so many steps to take.
Qiao Liangjin turned her head and looked at the two ladies who were originally Lady Jiao and dragged the other petite figure towards the pond. She slowly took off her cloak and hung it on a tree.
She forcefully bit her lips to prevent herself from shouting out loud. She shook her head with all her might and quietly begged, ”Sisters, I was wrong, I was wrong. I beg you to let me go. My mother is still sick, I still need to go back and take care of my mother …”
Qiao Liangjin was like a gust of wind as she stood beside the pool and smiled at the three of them.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya had their backs facing Qiao Liangjin and did not realize that Qiao Liangjin was behind them. They continued to pull Qiao Xinting towards the side of the pool. Qiao Xinting's panic-stricken heart, upon seeing Qiao Liangjin's smiling face, unexpectedly broke down in tears and stopped struggling.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya were admiring Qiao Xinting's begging appearance. Qiao Xinting was actually smiling. They thought that she was scared out of her wits and had gone into a state of stupor. Qiao Yin clicked her tongue and said, ”Third sister, look at her appearance. She couldn't have gone mad from fright, could she?”
”Who are you saying is crazy?” Qiao Liangjin's clear voice sounded from behind Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya originally had a guilty conscience. When they heard this voice, they instantly released Qiao Xinting's arm and stood rooted to the spot.
Qiao Xinting was relieved. She didn't cry like the television had described. She rushed over to hug Qiao Liangjin. Instead, she wiped away her tears and stubbornly raised her head as she sobbed, ”Big sister, I'm fine.”
Qiao Liangjin's heart was suddenly twisted. Was she feeling sorry for this small, strong body?
Only then did Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya hurriedly turn around with faces full of panic.
Qiao Yin looked at Qiao Ya. She did her best to appear calm as she said, ”We are having fun with Xin Ting.”
Qiao Ya immediately nodded in agreement. ”Yes, I wonder where Siyuan has gone to. We'll pull Xining along to look for Siyuan together. Big Sis, did you see Siyuan?”
Qiao Liangjin also nodded seriously and replied, ”I saw it. She really did see it. She was hiding it at the place where he fell from the fake mountain the last time. ”Oh, that's right. Qiao Ya, you said that you haven't taken any medicine for two months. Do you feel that half of your body is out of control?”
Qiao Ya's face immediately changed. Ever since the last time Qiao Liangjin fed her medicine, she refused to believe that it was poison, so every full moon day of the month, she shakily passed by. She realized that she didn't feel like there was anything wrong with her body, so she gradually relaxed.
Hearing Qiao Liangjin's words, her face turned ashen, then turned pale. She couldn't help but kneel down and cry, ”Big sister, I was wrong. I will never bully anyone ever again. Please let me go, big sister.”
Qiao Yin did not know that Qiao Ya had been poisoned. When she heard the conversation and saw that Qiao Ya was kneeling on the ground, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Qiao Liangjin in fear, afraid that Qiao Liangjin's medicine would be thrown into her mouth.
Qiao Liangjin smiled and walked step by step back until she reached the icy surface of the pond.
Qiao Xinting panicked and tried to stop her, ”Big Sister, the ice is not thick yet …”
Qiao Liangjin slightly nodded at Qiao Xingran and stood at the thinnest spot in the middle of the pool. She opened her arms and said to Qiao Xinting: ”Go to the study room and call father over.”
Qiao Xin Ting did not know what Qiao Liangjin was up to and could only nod her head. She then lifted up her skirt and hastily ran towards Qiao Zheng's study.
Qiao Yin and Qiao Ya blankly watched Qiao Liangjin retreat onto the ice. They looked at each other, unsure of what Qiao Liangjin was going to do next.
Qiao Liangjin raised her head and looked at the snowy sky. She paused slightly, but her lower body used a thousand jin pendant. With a ”kala” sound, Qiao Liangjin's figure disappeared from the surface of the water.
For some reason, before the winter, the pool had been filled with a lot of water. The water that once only reached Qiao Liangjin's chest had now reached above her head.
