Chapter 129 The Crown Prince's Favor

Aunt He was so angry that her body trembled.

"You still dare to talk nonsense and can't tell the difference between superiors and inferiors? I really want to beat you to death to feel better!"

Qiao Qingle, however, twisted her body and ran out.

"I'm not telling you, you've all been fooled by Qiao Qingshu, you're all so stupid!"

Aunt He wanted to chase after her, but she stumbled and was supported by the second young lady.

"Auntie, be careful, don't upset yourself."

"I'll go and talk to my second sister."

When Qiao Qingqiao found Qing Le, the little girl was sitting by the river, playing with the tassel at her waist.

Qingqiao sighed softly, approached, and called out.

"Le'er, you were hiding here! I've been looking for you everywhere."

Qiao Qingle suddenly turned her head, about to get up and walk away, but Qingqiao grabbed her hand.

“Good sister, why do you want to leave as soon as you see me? I’m not your aunt, I won’t scold you.”

“We used to be so close, why are you avoiding me now? I just wanted to have a good talk with you.”

Seeing that Qiao Qingqiao spoke gently and had a kind attitude, Qiao Qingle relaxed a little.

She sat back down on the rock, pouting.

"Second sister, you've read so many books, yet you were still deceived by eldest sister. I thought you would stand on my side like me."

Qingqiao suppressed her temper and forced a smile to coax her.

"Le'er, tell me properly, why do you have such prejudice against your older sister?"

"I remember you used to really like and respect older sisters, how come your attitude has changed so drastically now?"

Qiao Qingle pouted and hesitated for a moment. Being young, she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Second sister, I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else."

Qiao Qingqiao nodded.

Qing Le then slowly spoke,

"My cousin Wan'er said she would help me find a good marriage. She said she would help me find a good husband, a husband as handsome and dashing as Young Master Xiao."

"She also said that the older sister is wicked and can't stand seeing others do better than her, which is why she ruined your marriage with her."

Qingyue bit her lip and continued,

She also said that her older sister would definitely ruin my marriage.

Qiao Qingqiao frowned involuntarily.

"She helped you find a good husband? Which family's young master did she find for you?"

Qiao Qingqiao was very clever. She knew that Liu Wan'er's status and position meant that finding a husband for Le'er was just a lie to deceive her. Only Le'er, who was simple-minded and naive, would believe her.

Qingyue, however, shyly twisted her handkerchief, her face immediately turning red.

"She said she would let me marry the Crown Prince as a concubine."

Qiao Qingqiao frowned even more deeply, looking at her younger sister as if she were a fool.

Seeing that her second sister didn't believe her at all, Qingyue quickly added,

"Second sister, please don't disbelieve me, the Crown Prince and I are in love."

Qingqiao's face was contorted in a grimace as she looked at her younger sister as if she were an idiot.

"You have feelings for the Crown Prince?"

Qingyue nodded hurriedly to prove herself.

"Do you remember the last time Cousin Wan'er invited His Highness the Crown Prince to visit?"

“I bumped into the Crown Prince at the door. He was about to leave when he knocked me to the ground as I was returning to the mansion. He was the one who helped me up.”

"After the Crown Prince left, I found a jade pendant on the ground, which must have been dropped by the Crown Prince."

Qingqiao frowned and continued to ask,

"and then?"

"Then I went to my cousin Wan'er and asked her to give the jade pendant to the Crown Prince. A few days later she came to me and said that the Crown Prince was very happy and even wrote me a letter saying that he liked me very much..."

Qiao Qingqiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; she looked at her silly younger sister with utter helplessness.

"Let me see the letter."

Qing Le was a little shy at first, but she still had the desire to show off. She then took out the letter from her inner garment and handed it over.

Qiao Qingqiao was the most learned of the three sisters, and she also had excellent handwriting.

She examined the letter closely and soon realized it was a forgery.

The current emperor has been painstakingly cultivating the crown prince, and the crown prince is responsible for writing the New Year's proclamation every year, so the crown prince's calligraphy can be seen in the streets and alleys of the capital.

The prince's handwriting is wild and unrestrained, and the letter in his hand is actually a very good imitation.

However, the brushstrokes still reveal a slight weakness and lack of strength, which must be the work of a woman.

Qiao Qingqiao earnestly said,

"Le'er, this letter is fake. Liu Wan'er is probably lying to you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingle angrily snatched the letter back and carefully put it back into her bosom.

His face also showed displeasure.

“Cousin Wan’er is absolutely right. She said not to let me show you the letter, because she said you would definitely be jealous of me and that the letter was fake.”

"You must be jealous of my rise to prominence! I'm luckier than you all, having won the favor of the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Qiao Qingle was completely unmoved by reason, Qingqiao shook her head helplessly, got up, and stopped wasting her breath.

When Qiao Qingqiao told Qiao Qingshu all of this.

Qiao Qingshu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I was wondering why my third sister believed Liu Wan'er so wholeheartedly."

"So Liu Wan'er had been dangling such a huge promise in front of her!"

Qingqiao frowned and nodded.

"My third sister is young, and she is greedy for food and drink and loves to show off. Deep down, she is actually a bit greedy and vain. We all thought she was too young to be a problem."

"But Liu Wan'er accurately grasped Le'er's weaknesses, manipulated Le'er, and gave her the most tempting expectation."

Qiao Qingshu nodded. The Crown Prince, a violent man, always preferred alluring and seductive women. Le'er was just a young girl with no outstanding looks. Even a fool could tell that this was a scam full of loopholes.

However, Qing Le couldn't see clearly and became trapped, becoming Liu Wan'er's puppet.

Even though Liu Wan'er was no longer with the Qiao family, she didn't let Qiao Qingshu go. She trained Qiao Qingle to help her deal with Qiao Qingshu.

Qingqiao rubbed her hands together with some worry.

"Big sister, I'm a little worried that Qingle might be instigated by Liu Wan'er and do something bad."

Qiao Qingshu squinted and nodded. In her previous life, she was completely unprepared for this third sister and was ultimately framed by her.

This kind of thing will never happen again in this lifetime, so she must be on guard against her third sister in advance.

To prevent her from doing anything foolish.

He waved his hand, summoned Aunt Gui, and gave her instructions.

"Mom, I need to add two more people to keep an eye on my third sister's place day and night, and tell me immediately about any movements she makes."

Aunt Gui nodded in agreement and immediately went to make the arrangements.

Seeing that Qiao Qingshu was decisive and intelligent, Qiao Qingqiao finally felt relieved.

He looked at her with eyes full of admiration and said,

"Big sister, I think you are really amazing. It seems like nothing can stump you."
