Chapter 530: Apologizing to Jun Zhiyan

She replied with a single word, "No."He didn't get sick.It seemed that Xiao Zhu had been teased too many times by him. She was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she saw this well-mannered vi...Along the corridor paved with balustrades and jade, Qiao Bao'er strode from the East Garden to the end of the West Garden with a fierce air. Upon seeing that vast expanse of gorgeous purple orchid blossoms, her confidence soared. She walked up to a room door and pounded on it loudly, "Jun Zhiyan, open the door!"

"Jun Zhi Yan, open the door for me at once!"

She pounded on the door again, desperate to clear her name.

Behind her were some people, including Pei Haoran, Lu Qinan, even Lian Junzhi watched her every move and couldn't help but frown.

The servants of Xiyuan, seeing such a large gathering, dared not make a sound. Someone secretly slipped away to send word.

"Hey, what a great day it is, a whole bunch of people come to bully an idiot."

Auntie Jun's mother also lived in Xiyuan. As soon as she heard the servant say that Qiao Baier had come, she immediately walked out to join in the fun and spoke without any reservation, making a big deal out of everything.

Qiao Bao'er ignored her, continuing to shout from the doorway, "Jun Zhiyan!"

But no matter how loudly she called, there was still no sound from behind the door.

Qiao Bao'er sank her face, almost out of patience.

“Are you going to make me kick the door in like last time” she gritted out.

Jun Zhi Mu clearly heard her mumbling, his brows furrowing even tighter. This meant she wasn't the first time coming to Xiyuan to cause trouble for Jun Zhi Yan.

Just as Junzhi was about to say something, a figure rushed over from the other side of the corridor, "Junzhi, are you just going to let her bully your sister!"

Jiang Meili's hair wasn't even brushed, a few strands falling to her neck. Hearing the servant's announcement, she hastily threw on a coat and hurried over.

Qiao Bao'er knew Jiang Meili was targeting her, so she took the initiative to explain, “ … I just wanted to find her out and have her clarify some things.”

"The way you're acting, someone who didn't know any better would think you were a gang leader from the old days leading your goons to give someone a brutal interrogation."

Jiang Meili wore a look of annoyance, holding herself with an air of superiority as she lectured.

"Don't you know what kind of person Zhiyan is She's causing chaos in Dongyuan, and now she comes to Xiyuan, acting recklessly and creating a scene. What's the matter with her!"

Qiao Bao'er suddenly said she was coming to Xiyuan to confront Jun Zhiyan face-to-face. With such a fierce attitude, she would definitely frighten Jun Zhiyan, who is already introverted and reclusive.

Lu Qinian was close friends with Qiao Bao'er and quietly tugged on her sleeve, lowering his voice, "...Don't scare Zhiyan."

Qiao Bao'er tightened her face and didn't speak again.

"Jun's shepherd turned his head to look at the corner where several maidservants from Xiyuan stood quietly, not daring to approach. "...Go take a look and see if Zhiyan is there" he instructed an older Zhang auntie. "

Aunt Zhang is the housekeeper of Xiyuan. Xiyuan is usually very quiet and there are not many special things happening. It is far from Dongyuan, so she rarely interacts with Jun Zhimu and Qiao Ba'er, the two masters.

"Yes, yes, good, good."

Aunt Zhang met Junzhi's cold gaze and panicked, immediately nodding.

She took small steps forward, first gently knocking on Jun Zhiyan's door, then taking out the spare key and slowly unlocking it. She gently pulled open the antique wooden door.

Serve Junzhiyan well. Those who work in Xiyuan are quite experienced and know that entering Junzhiyan's room absolutely cannot startle her suddenly, otherwise she will become mentally stressed and even get sick from fright.

Junzhiyan was indeed in the room. When the door opened, those outside could clearly see her huddled in a corner, her slender body pressed against a large potted plant. She sat on the ground with her hands covering her head, trembling.

This scene evokes pity in anyone who sees it.

Qiao Bao'er suddenly shouting and banging on the door just now really scared her.

Only Qiao Ba'er seemed unimpressed, muttering under her breath, "…Putting on a show again."

Knowing these people must sympathize with Jun Yanhui, Qiao Bao'er didn't want to let it go. She had to get to the bottom of this today. Turning around, she demanded somewhat domineeringly, "I have to speak to her face-to-face right now!"

"...Let's talk later."

Even Lian Peihao felt a twinge of sympathy. He couldn't believe for a second that Jun Zhiyan had anything to do with the saffron incident.

Joe Baoer knew they definitely wouldn't believe her, furious and exasperated, "There's a huge field of saffron outside! I'm not lying!"

That day, she admitted it herself. She said that she had mixed saffron into all the tonics I was going to give Zhu Xiaowei...

Ordinary people are not very familiar with saffron. The large, showy purple flowers are in full bloom outside. The center of the flower is red, and the long pistil is the part used for medicinal purposes.

What's going on

Junzhi Mu did indeed have ulterior motives. Hearing Qiao Baier's words, he first glanced at the expanse of purple orchid flowers, furrowed his brow in deep thought, and then called out to a servant from Xiyuan to ask questions.

"...No need to ask, this is definitely saffron."

Jiang Meili's face was very grim. She pointed at the blooming violet flowers in front of the courtyard and glared angrily at Qiao Bao'er, "These flowers were planted two years ago, right when you first married into the Jun family."

"... Just because of these flowers, you want to blame everything on Zhī Yán. If something was really going to happen, it would have happened already. It's utter nonsense."

Jiang Meili is so eager to help Jun Zhiyan in front of everyone because she believes in "a rising tide lifts all boats." She's the nominal mistress of the Jun family, but her status is largely symbolic. Right now, the only pawn she has left is this 'daughter.'

“I believe the old man wouldn't let you act so recklessly. You bunch of people are bullying Zhanyan.”

After being scolded so harshly by Jiang Meili, Lu Qinan and the other juniors suddenly felt a bit ashamed. Jun Zhiyan was indeed a pitiful younger sister; they shouldn't have been messing around with Qiao Baier.

Qiao Baoer was very anxious, and no one believed her.

She tugged on Jun Zhi牧's hand beside her, her voice dropping to a whisper as she insisted, "I really didn't lie. Last time, Zhīyān admitted it herself. If you don't believe me, ask her."

"...... Qiao Bao'er, forget it." Lu Qinan felt a little sorry for her.

Over the years, only Jun Zhi Mu has been able to approach Jun Zhi Yan without disturbing her.

Jun Zhi Mu, seeing his wife's expression of "I'm wronged, I didn't lie," took a step and walked towards Jun Zhi Yan's boudoir. Everyone outside couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Before Jun Zhi Mu had fully approached, Jun Zhi Yan seemed to sense him. She slowly raised her head and looked at him. After several seconds, she spoke, "...Brother."

Without the shepherd needing to speak, his beauty, Jun Yan, timidly and softly called out to him first.

Jun Zhi Mu nodded as usual, "Hmm."

Jun Zhiyan looked at him with very clear and clean eyes, behaving so innocently, patiently waiting for him to ask questions just like a primary school student.

"Zhiyan, have you told your sister-in-law that you mixed saffron into Zhu Xiaowei's tonic" Jun Zhumu's tone was flat, just like when he talked to her in the past.

"I don't, brother," Jun Zhiyan replied obediently.

She looked at Jun Zhimu, her eyes clear and bright, especially pure. "It wasn't me."

Upon hearing her words, Junzhi Mu’s deep-set eyes seemed to contemplate something.

She lied!

Jo Bao'er heard Jun Zhiyan's answer at the door and excitedly rushed in.

Jo Bao'er suddenly burst in, Jun Zhiyan's eyes shrank in fright, and she became very at a loss, "I, I'm sorry…" It seemed like she had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by the adults.

"Enough!"

Jun Zhi Mu's serious face turned to Qiao Baoer and he rebuked her sharply.

Jo Bao'er stopped and took a few deep breaths, but her face was still unconvinced.

Junzhi Mu looked at her, a hint of anger in his eyes. "… Apologize to Zhiyan immediately."

He would not blindly indulge Qiao Bao'er, his younger sister Jun Zhiyan, as always, answered his questions truthfully. He could read from her eyes that she was not lying, and Zhiyan would never lie.

Then, the wrong person is Qiao Baier.

Jun San Gu, who had been watching the commotion outside the door, was both excited and surprised to see her nephew reprimand Qiao Baoer. This was the first time she'd seen him speak up to her like that.

Outside the door, a sudden silence fell. It seemed as if everyone was waiting for Qiao Bao'er to apologize.

Qiao Bao'er's face was tight, she clenched her right fist, slowly adjusting her breath, and finally uttered two words, "I, no."hing urgent to return to the city..."As she spoke, Gu Ruyan brought several bags of famous local specialties. "These aged teas should be to your grandfather's liking. Take them back with you...""Aunti...
