Chapter 12 The guest is here again

After returning to Tan Mansion, Qiao Yuanfei became ill.

In order to let her recover in peace, Mrs. Qiao sent several maids over to keep an eye on her. Wang wanted to cause trouble several times, but Qiao pushed back without mercy.

When he was about to recover from his illness, Qiao Yuanfei heard that the sage ordered his uncle Tan Shilang to go home and reflect behind closed doors.

This reflection will take two months.

The punishment may not seem serious, but it is extremely slap in the face. The most important thing is that it stops Mr. Tan from thinking about further at this critical moment.

The Tan family closed its doors for several days to thank guests.

When the door opened again, it was Princess Wenhua who sent messages about flower viewing feasts to various ladies.

Qiao Yuanfei was just a cousin who came to visit her. Logically speaking, she couldn't compete with these ladies who came to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Princess Wenhua also sent her a message.

And it's not just her, every girl in the Tan family has them, and the second girl, Tan Ling, is no exception.

Tan Yun came to see Qiao Yuanfei with the post. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Qiao Yuanfei wearing a cloak and standing on the porch looking at the spring flowers.

At this time of year, the jasmine flowers have already begun to bloom, and under the lush green leaves are bunches of wilting flowers that will never fall.

But Qiao Yuanfei's eyebrows were half lowered, looking lost.

She is quite tall, and because of her thinness, the layers of clothes look very heavy.

Under the cloak is the usual plain dress, without even any embroidery, and it is plain and a bit shabby.

She had probably just woken up, and her hair hadn't been properly combed. Her silky hair was only tied loosely behind her shoulders with a hair tie.

At first glance, there is a hint of vulnerability in the demureness.

This kind of Qiao Yuanfei instantly overlaps with the girl who went to Xuanzhou alone to seek refuge with her aunt.

Tan Yun's footsteps suddenly became softer and her voice was small: "Sister Ayuan."

Qiao Yuan turned around and saw the little girl coming with something in her arms.

The butterfly hairpins on her buns moved with her steps, making the already lively person even more lively.

Qiao Yuanfei couldn't help but bend her eyes and asked softly: "Have you had breakfast?"

Tan Yun grinned: "I ate at my mother's place. Is sister feeling better?"

Qiao Yuanfei nodded.

Tan Yun then handed over a gilded note: "Princess Wenhua invites us to attend a flower viewing banquet in five days."

Qiao Yuanfei raised his eyebrows and took the post.

The signature is in delicate regular script with hairpin flowers, which is a good calligraphy.

Tan Yun said from the side: "The princess has invited many people, including several concubine girls from the eldest house."

Qiao Yuanfei thought of Tan Ling and asked, "How is the second girl doing now?"

Tan Yun whispered: "Auntie locked people in the courtyard without giving them food or drink."

"How many days has it been?"

"It's almost seven days."

Seven days...if I really didn't eat or drink, I'm afraid I would have died.

Qiao Yuanfei put down the post and gathered the cloak behind her: "It's time."

Before Tan Yun understood what this meant, she saw a little maid walking over quickly and said, "Cousin, the guest is here again. He said he won't leave until he sees you today."

Tan Yun's eyes suddenly widened: "Which guest is so rude?"

The smile in Qiao Yuanfei's eyes also faded a bit. She lowered her hands and asked calmly: "Are my uncle and aunt here?"

The little maid nodded: "They are all here. It is the slave sent here by the second lady."

Qiao Yuanfei then said: "In that case, you go and reply first, I will come back later."

After the little maid left, Qiao Yuan flew back to the house to dress up.

Tan Yun followed behind and muttered, but suddenly paused when she saw Qiao Yuanfei's completely exposed forehead.

After ten days of nursing, the wound on Qiao Yuanfei's forehead has healed, but in response to Qiao's words, a small or medium scar was left.

The scar is not dark in color, but Qiao Yuanfei's skin is fair, so it looks dazzling no matter how you look at it.

Dong Ye wanted to take some of her hair off to cover it up, but Qiao Yuanfei said calmly: "There's no need to cover it up. Since the other party came to apologize for this, we can't let them go home disappointed!"
