Chapter 742 We can form an alliance!
Shen Wantang listened to her rambling for a long time, and seemed to believe her lies. She looked at her with sympathy: "She treated you so badly, she even forbade you to eat bird's nest. You are so miserable!"
Qiao Zhiyu nodded repeatedly: "Not only did she not let me eat bird's nest, she even didn't let me eat dinner. I was starving all night yesterday! I thought I could have a good meal this morning, but she asked the maid to wake me up before dawn and go to her yard to wait for her. I still didn't eat a single bite!"
Shen Wantang felt even more sympathetic: "You haven't eaten for a whole day and night, so you must be starving, right?"
"That's right, I'm starving!"
After Qiao Zhiyu finished speaking, he looked at Shen Wantang eagerly, and then looked at the snacks on the table next to him.
She thought Shen Wantang would offer to give her something to eat, preferably a bowl of bird's nest soup. She didn't get to eat the bowl of bird's nest soup last night and had been thinking about it all the time!
That is the most nourishing and beauty-enhancing blood bird’s nest, which cannot be bought anywhere else!
Unfortunately, Shen Wantang didn't say a word.
"cough!"
Qiao Zhiyu coughed dryly again and had no choice but to ask for more. "Shen Wantang, I see you have quite a lot of food here. How about letting me have some? You can't finish all this by yourself anyway, right?"
Shen Wantang acted good-tempered and said, "Actually, I really want to give you something to eat, but I really can't finish it all by myself."
Qiao Zhiyu's eyes lit up. "That's right, I think that chestnut cake is good. Do you want some? If not, I won't be polite!"
She was about to reach out to take it, but Shen Wantang stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Qiao Zhiyu frowned: "What's wrong? It's just a few pieces of chestnut cake. You wouldn't be so stingy as to not want to give them to me, right?"
"Qiao Zhiyu, if I were really stingy, would I give you a set of gold brocade clothes?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"I'm afraid that if you eat the food here and get an upset stomach, I won't be able to explain myself to my sister-in-law!"
"No, I won't get an upset stomach. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't tell my cousin."
"No, you look so frail and delicate, you look so delicate, you can't just eat anything you want. You should go ask your eldest sister-in-law for food. I don't think she'd treat her cousin harshly. If you talk to her nicely, she won't even refuse you a meal."
Qiao Zhiyu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
She couldn't say that Meng Yunlan was much more mean and cruel than she thought. Treating her cousin harshly was nothing, when she got cruel, she wouldn't even let her own sister go.
Seeing that she was speechless, Nanny Yan coldly ordered Shen Wantang to leave: "Miss Qiao, our young mistress is tired. If you have nothing more to say, please go back!"
"Wait, I have something else to say!"
Shen Wantang looked at her calmly: "Anything else to say?"
"Shen Wantang, do you know why my cousin asked me to stay at the Duke's Mansion?"
"why?"
"Because she thinks you are not worthy of Second Master Gu!"
Shen Wantang understood what she meant and suddenly smiled: "I'm not worthy? Then who is worthy?"
"Of course it is me!"
Qin Xin and the others' eyes all fell on Qiao Zhiyu's face at once. Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy, as if they were silently laughing at her for overestimating her own abilities.
Only Shen Wantang was still smiling: "Why, Miss Qiao, do you want to be my husband's concubine? But if I saw correctly yesterday, the person you like should be your brother-in-law, right?"
Qiao Zhiyu raised her chin and did not deny it: "Brother-in-law is young, promising, handsome and humble. Who would not like him?"
"So what? Are you planning to eat from your bowl while keeping an eye on the pot? Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"
"Humph, I'm not attracted to Gu Qianhan! So, you don't have to worry about me stealing your husband."
Shen Wantang smiled calmly and indifferently: "You can't take it away anyway, I've never worried about it."
Qiao Zhiyu sneered: "Shen Wantang, don't be too confident. I have my cousin's help, so I may be able to snatch Gu Qianhan away successfully!"
Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow, becoming interested: "What did your cousin promise to do for you? Tell me."
"Ha, you're scared, aren't you? Starting to panic? I knew your calm confidence was all fake!"
"Which eye of yours saw that I was afraid?"
"Tsk, if you don't admit it, then forget it. I won't expose you, but I want to tell you that Gu Qianhan doesn't like you at all, and he doesn't take you seriously."
Shen Wantang was surprised: "You even figured this out? Didn't you just come to the Duke's Mansion yesterday?"
Qiao Zhiyu's tone was full of pride. "Is it difficult to see this? Didn't you have an argument with Gu Qianhan yesterday? Oh, and you were stopped outside his study by Gu Qianhan's guards, while my cousin was able to enter Gu Qianhan's study without any problems. It's obvious what Gu Qianhan values most, right? Are you still going to continue deceiving yourself?"
Shen Wantang nodded and said in a very flattering tone, "That's amazing! You figured out everything! Anything else?"
"Of course! You don't know, maybe before you came in, Gu Qianhan's clothes all year round were taken care of by my cousin, and three meals a day were also prepared by my cousin. The servants in his yard were also managed by my cousin, and even the things in his bedroom were arranged by my cousin and his people!"
Shen Wantang's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. "What? Is there such a thing? My husband's bedroom was also decorated by my sister-in-law? This is impossible. You are talking nonsense. Whose sister-in-law cares about such things?!"
Qiao Zhiyu was very satisfied with her reaction. "So, are you dumbfounded? Now you know how close my cousin is to Gu Qianhan? You still need to practice more! My cousin has been married into the Duke's Mansion for five years and has been taking care of Gu Qianhan for five years. With Gu Qianhan, one word from my cousin is worth a hundred words from you!"
Shen Wantang's face was filled with surprise and doubt: "Is everything you said true? You didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm telling you this because if you just say a few good words for me in front of Gu Qianhan and show me around him more often, he'll definitely fall in love with me and take notice of me! You'll be in danger then!"
"Love the house and the dog?"
"Yes, the relationship between Gu Qianhan and my cousin is much deeper than the relationship between you and your spouse. You'd better be careful. If my cousin says something bad about you in front of him, you will completely lose Gu Qianhan's heart!"
Shen Wantang twisted her handkerchief nervously, her brows slightly furrowed.
When Qiao Zhiyu saw her like this, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. He felt that Shen Wantang was nothing special. When he heard that she would lose Gu Qianhan's heart, he was scared out of his wits.
But she quickly hid her disdain and said in a serious tone, "Shen Wantang, I can help you. We can form an alliance!"
