Chapter 1529: Chapter 1528: No Prospects_1

Moreover, this was only the situation among the common folk, if Yang Wenxiao thought Qiao Xiaomai had the Treasure Basin, Qiao Xiaomai really would not be able to clear her name even with a dozen mouths.

Yang Wenxiao asked Qiao Xiaomai to hand it over, but where could Qiao Xiaomai produce a Treasure Basin for him?

The Treasure Basin, the Treasure Basin, a basin that could gather the wealth and treasures of the world, just the literal meaning was enough to drive people mad, let alone the fact that Qiao Xiaomai’s performance over the past two years really did seem like she had obtained a Treasure Basin.

Her performance would confirm the rumors as true, and others would indeed believe she had a Treasure Basin.

The kind of storm of blood and violence that this situation could incite was self-evident.

So the person who spread the rumor behind the scenes was truly malicious, extremely malicious.

“We’ll just send someone to tell the Retired Emperor,” said Qiao Xiaomai.

Talking to anyone else about this matter was useless; she could only go directly to Yang Wenxiao to prove her innocence.

“Forget it, I might as well just go to the Palace myself,” she said, standing up somewhat irritably.

“I’ll go too,” Tong Sanlang also stood up. “I have watched you progress from a country girl to your status today, step by step, I have seen every part of it, and I can testify for you. This rumor is truly laughable and ignorant.”

“I’m going too, I’m going too,” Bei Lingsu raised her hand. “I saw with my own eyes how you discovered the business opportunity with Nori Kelp Shells in Yuhu.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai felt a warmth in her heart, “You had gone home at that time, you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it was Haifeng who saw it, I will just take Haifeng to the Palace with me, you stay here and eat well. Besides, he’s still here.”

She said this while gesturing towards Bei Yun. Wherever Bei Yun went, members of the Divine Crossbow Team had to follow, and following him into the Palace was too much of a hassle.

Bei Yun hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying, “Exactly, exactly, the two of you entering the Palace is enough.”

Qiao Xiaomai’s reasoning was sound, and after mulling it over, Bei Lingsu sat back down, “But if you need me, be sure to send someone to tell me, I’ll be there whenever you call.”

“Alright,” Qiao Xiaomai smiled at her.

Then she and Tong Sanlang rode the carriage to enter the Palace.

Once the couple had left, Bei Yun shamelessly stood up and took Qiao Xiaomai’s seat, picking up the chopsticks to start taking dishes from the table. Bei Lingsu couldn’t help but frown, “Hey, what are you doing sitting over here?”

“Eating,” replied Bei Yun with full confidence.

“Go eat your own dishes,” Bei Lingsu pointed to another table.

“I’ll take those home. You wouldn’t finish all this on your own anyway, I’ll help you eat,” said Bei Yun, shovelling food into his mouth without looking up, gulping it down like a famished refugee who hadn’t eaten for days.

Bei Lingsu was speechless, “…Do you have to be so exaggerated?”

“It’s Miss Qiao’s excellent cooking. It’s not often I get to eat it, so of course I want to make the most of it,” Bei Yun kept scooping food into his mouth earnestly.

Bei Lingsu “…”

There were six dishes and a soup on her table, and Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang had not eaten much earlier, but in the end, Bei Yun really did finish it all.

After finishing, he called a servant from Qiao Residence to pack his eight dishes.

And that was not all, he even sneaked into the kitchen, trying to take away the pastries that Qiao Xiaomai had made earlier.

His locust-like behavior earned a glare from Bei Lingsu, utterly shameless, utterly shameless!

It was bad enough to eat leftovers, but to even not spare the things in the kitchen, it really was a disgrace to the Bei family if word got out!

She forcefully pulled Bei Yun onto the carriage, how embarrassing!

Bei Yun was dragged onto the carriage by her, still clamoring about her coming over more often and taking some food home when she did.

Once he had eaten more, he certainly wouldn’t be as pathetic as he was now!
