Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 800, Side Story Two: Wu Ying and Xiao Qiao (Part Six)

Da Qiao sighed as she looked at Xiao Qiao's appearance.

Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, my silly little sister is determined to get involved in this mess.

The lady was also unsure how to respond.

Da Qiao looked rather unwell and was about to leave.

Just then, the shopkeeper stood outside the door carrying a wooden box and said, "Madam Qiao, the clothes are ready."

Da Qiao then hurriedly stood up, bowed to the lady and Zhen Mi, and said, "Sister, Miss Zhen, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave first."

As Da Qiao spoke, she grabbed Xiao Qiao and left.

The lady hurriedly said, "Sister, be careful on the road."

Only after the footsteps of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao disappeared into the distance did the lady look at Zhen Mi and say, "What I said today is what I mean."

"I've come to understand this as well. When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no way to stop them."

"Since that's the case, let's just let nature take its course."

"You should think it over carefully!"

"Xiao Qiao, if he can be so bold, and you've gone to such lengths with him, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"If we don't act now, once he reaches that position, even more women will follow suit."

"You're not a child anymore."

"A woman cannot stay young forever."

"However, young women are emerging in large numbers."

After the lady finished speaking, she placed her hands on her waist and slowly stood up.

The two children at the door quickly got up and ran up, each taking one of the lady's hands.

As he led his wife away, the two children sweetly said, "Sister, let's go home!"

Zhen Mi then put down the bamboo slips and left with the lady.

They escorted the lady all the way to the carriage outside the shop. The lady looked at Zhen Mi and shook her head.

After watching the lady and the two children get into the carriage, Zhen Mi instructed the driver and guards to be careful and slow down before returning to her room in the shop alone.

He sat down at the table, picked up the bamboo slips, and was about to read them when the image of Xiao Qiao with her high, proud chest puffed out, looking smug and self-satisfied, kept replaying in his mind.

Zhen Mi put down the bamboo slips, sighed, and looked outside.

Do you want to learn from Xiao Qiao?
How could I possibly be as shameless as her?
but--

The scene of him hastily finding her and kissing her during the mutiny in Ye City flashed through Zhen Mi's mind again.

A blush appeared on Zhen Mi's pretty face, and her slender, fair fingers pressed against her chest.

Although that kiss happened several years ago.

Although I've long forgotten what that kiss felt like.

However, the thought still makes her heart race whenever she thinks about it.

After a while, Zhen Mi rested her chin on the bamboo slip, her eyes vacant.

I wish I were Xiao Qiao.

If I were Xiao Qiao, I would make him take me as my wife just because he kissed me that day.

But in the end, I wasn't one.

If things continue like this, even Xiao Qiao might end up in his bed, while he remains in the same state.

How can this be good?

While Zhen Mi was frowning, Xiao Qiao followed Da Qiao away in a carriage.

Da Qiao sat in the carriage without saying a word, her pretty face so gloomy it could drip water.

Xiao Qiao realized that she had said the wrong thing in front of the lady and dared not speak again. She could only secretly glance at Da Qiao's face out of the corner of her eye.

After a while, Da Qiao suddenly said to the outside, "Go to the Qiao residence."

The driver responded.

Xiao Qiao then chuckled sheepishly and hugged Da Qiao's arm, saying, "Sister, why are we going back again? I... I wanted to stay at the Prince of Ji's residence for a few more days!" Da Qiao turned her head expressionlessly and looked at Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao shrank back, not daring to look at Da Qiao.

Neither of the two sisters spoke.

Da Qiao kept staring at Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao felt extremely uncomfortable, yet dared not meet Da Qiao's gaze.

This went on for quite a while, then Xiao Qiao suddenly stiffened her neck, turned her head, and said to Da Qiao with a flushed face, "I just like my brother-in-law!"

"I don't care about you guys!"

"If you don't agree, I... I'll sneak a drug into my brother-in-law's food when you're not looking, then sleep with him, and when he wakes up, I'll leave!"

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law trusts me a lot, he definitely won’t be wary of me.”

"Wait, wait until I leave, he won't even know it's me."

"So what if we find out?"

"I'm so pretty, so cute, and I have such a great figure, he's not at a loss!"

When Da Qiao saw that Xiao Qiao was finally willing to admit it, she shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "When you see Father later, you can tell him yourself."

"My father has never had any children in his life, and he originally wanted to take a son from you to adopt."

“If you insist on being with your brother-in-law, even if I don’t object, you just need to convince Father.”

Xiao Qiao looked at Da Qiao in disbelief and asked, "Sister, are you sure you mean it?"

Da Qiao reached out a finger and gently stroked Xiao Qiao's nose, saying softly, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xiao Qiao's eyes suddenly reddened, and she threw herself into Da Qiao's arms, hugging her waist with both hands, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Sister, I knew it, you're the best to me."

“After Mother passed away, you always treated my good-for-nothing sister as your daughter.”

"I've always felt sorry for you."

"Sister, please forgive me?"

Da Qiao gently patted her back, her voice filled with weariness and helplessness, and said, "I have never blamed you."

"If you have to blame someone, you can only blame your brother-in-law for messing around with women everywhere."

"I can't even control myself, so how can I force you to ignore him?"

Xiao Qiao raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and pouted, saying, "Wait, wait until I get my brother-in-law, then we'll find a time to mess with him together and show him how powerful we sisters are! We'll make him never dare to mess with other women again!"

Da Qiao watched as her tears continued to fall like large pearls, yet she spoke these words. Da Qiao reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, laughing, "You're really shameless."

"Father hasn't agreed yet, he hasn't nodded, and Sister Yuan hasn't said a word. Who gave you the confidence to go that far?"

Xiao Qiao got up, grabbed her chest, and said, "I'm so old, and he still doesn't like me?"

"Don't think I don't know. Once, I secretly peeked and saw my brother-in-law grab Mrs. Du's chest, praising how big it was, and saying that he liked women like Mrs. Du!"

Da Qiao: "When did you hear that? Don't wander around and eavesdrop anymore! Some maids said you liked to eavesdrop before, but I didn't believe them and scolded them. Turns out I misunderstood them. You really do?"

While hastily wiping away her tears with both hands, Xiao Qiao forced a smile and said, "I didn't mean to."

"I, I'm just learning from experience."

"I was thinking, since we're not married yet, I wanted to hear how my brother-in-law would try to please my sister and the other ladies. I wondered if he would say the same things to me in the future."

Da Qiao: "."

Seeing Da Qiao's gloomy face, Xiao Qiao coughed a few times and sat up straight, saying, "Just kidding."

"I absolutely did not overhear on purpose."

"I never fantasized about my brother-in-law."

"I... I overheard it by accident."

Seeing that Da Qiao was still staring at her, Xiao Qiao raised her little finger and said with a fawning smile, "Just once, just once, that time with my brother-in-law and the queen, when the queen was lying on the table, with her legs wrapped around my brother-in-law's waist—"

Da Qiao said coldly, "You were just talking about Sister Du!"

Xiao Qiao shrank back, not daring to look at Da Qiao, and muttered, "I... I don't have a very good memory, is that a problem?"
