Qiao Jiaojiao, the little worried girl, finally fell asleep.

Qiao Zhongguo personally sent Duke Yan and Zuo Anning back. When he returned to the main room, he found Mrs. Qiao leaning on the couch with red eyes.

He was startled, and hurriedly sat down by the couch, took Mrs. Qiao's hand, and asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Qiao shook her head, with a smile on her face, "It's okay, husband, I'm just too happy."

"After looking forward to it for so many years, I finally hope that Dalang will get married. I am very emotional."

Qiao Zhongguo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He gently took Mrs. Qiao into his arms. At this moment, the years were peaceful and he was very satisfied.

"Madam, I have good news for you."

Mrs. Qiao raised her head curiously, "What's the good news?"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, "You first kiss me as your husband."

Mrs. Qiao punched him with a bit of laughter, "You are already a father-in-law, why are you still so out of shape!"

Qiao Zhongguo chuckled, grabbed Mrs. Qiao's hand, put it to her mouth and kissed it, then lowered his voice and said:

"Today Tan Hanchi personally admitted in front of the emperor that An Ning is his sweetheart!"

Mrs. Qiao was a little shy at first, but when she heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly stared: "Seriously?"

Qiao Zhongguo smiled and nodded, "It's absolutely true. He also said that he fell in love with An Ning at first sight when the top pick in high school was riding through the streets!"

Mrs. Qiao felt strange and emotional at the same time, "This Tan Hanchi has such courage, I have to think more highly of him."

Qiao Zhongguo also recognized it with eyes full of recognition, "That boy is a promising man. He wants to get a marriage for himself."

"It's a pity that the Holy Spirit still has many considerations in mind, but this matter is not so easy to accomplish."

Mrs. Qiao was not worried when she heard this. Instead, she comforted Qiao Zhongguo.

"Husband, it's okay. It all depends on people."

"Since Jiaojiao was born to now, we have changed so many things. My heart is full of enthusiasm and I am full of energy!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately beamed when he heard this, "Then my husband will have to rely more on my beautiful and intelligent wife from now on. Then my wife will have to give more advice to my husband!"

Mrs. Qiao glanced sideways at Qiao Zhongguo and couldn't help laughing.

"You're the only one with a poor mouth!"

When Qiao Zhongguo saw Mrs. Qiao like this, his heart began to itch again, but Mrs. Qiao obviously had something to say.

"By the way, husband, Dalang's business is probably done! No, it should be said that he made a lot of money!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately became interested after hearing this, "How did Madam find out?"

Mrs. Qiao's eyebrows were flying and she said with a smile: "You don't know, nine out of ten ladies and ladies who came to the wedding banquet today wore perfume and lipstick!"

"I see that they are getting excited about chatting. If this thing hadn't happened in the house tonight, I would have joined them and listened."

"If the money is recovered, I would like to expand the almshouse, husband, what do you think?"

"When I went there last time, the almshouse seemed a bit crowded, and the children probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at night."

"And Jiaojiao cares about that almshouse very much. As you know, husband, Jiaojiao had no father or mother in her previous life. I think she grew up in the almshouse, so she has great sympathy for those children."

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his eyes softened and he nodded slightly.

"Just listen to my wife. When the money is enough, my husband will arrange everything."

Mrs. Qiao nodded with peace of mind, thought about it carefully, and then said:

"That child Xian'er looks great. Jiaojiao also said that even in times of crisis, she will never leave Da Lang and the Qiao family."

"You should take the time to tell Dalang that you don't hide anything from Xian'er. Husband and wife should be honest with each other, otherwise Xian'er will be heartbroken."

Qiao Zhongguo felt that this was very reasonable and nodded his head.

"Madam, don't worry. The eldest son is also smart. I think he will find a suitable time to tell the eldest daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Qiao thought about it and couldn't help but raise her lips and smile.

"Am I getting old? Why am I nagging so much?"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately became serious after hearing this.

"Nonsense, my wife still looks exactly the same as before, but my husband, well, he is middle-aged and has gone through many vicissitudes..."

Mrs. Qiao was amused by Qiao Zhongguo's words.

"If you can spare others at night, I would be willing to believe you."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Zhongguo's expression instantly became ambiguous.

"How about letting Madam feel it again tonight?"

As Qiao Zhongguo said, he threw Mrs. Qiao directly on the couch.

Mrs. Qiao was unprepared and couldn't help but whisper: "Wait a minute, I haven't said Jiaojiao's birthday yet!"

Qiao Zhongguo's heart was burning and his voice was hoarse, "Good madam, the spring night is too short. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say!"

"Oh, you...you are so reckless!"

"Easy...yeah..."

Almshouse in the southern suburbs of Kyoto.

Mother Rong checked the children one by one and saw that everyone was sleeping soundly, so she left the big room with peace of mind.

In the yard, under the moonlight, there was a girl washing clothes.

She was a very young girl, and even the coarse clothes could not hide her slim figure.

Her face was covered with a veil, making it difficult to see her appearance, but her autumn-like eyes were very moving.

"Xiaolan, didn't I just ask you to leave the clothes you changed for Mother Xu to wash together?"

"Your hand is the one holding the pen, so don't do these menial tasks."

Rong's mother stepped forward with some distress.

This girl, Xiaolan, came here in early May and donated a lot of money to the relief home at once.

She could see that this girl Xiaolan was extremely well-educated, and her words and deeds did not look like those of ordinary people.

At that time, she had been moping for a long time, and finally suddenly asked if she could stay in the almshouse, and promised that she could work and teach the children how to read.

She was surprised and asked about the girl's family, but she shed tears and said that all her family members were gone and she was the only one left alive.

Mother Rong knew how difficult the outside world would be for a young and beautiful girl who had no reliance on her, so she took her in with a soft heart.

This girl Xiaolan is indeed a good person. She has only been here for three days and she started teaching the younger children how to read.

She had already told Miss Xiaolan to leave the changed clothes for them to wash together, but she seemed to be worried about bothering them.

She saw with her own eyes that Miss Xiaolan could not even use soap locust at the beginning, but now she can wash clothes quickly and cleanly.

It's just that this girl doesn't know what's going on. She is always worried at a young age. Except when facing children, she rarely shows a smile on weekdays.

Especially today, when I heard that the Qiao family had been helping the soup kitchen, I even dropped the pen in my hand to the ground.

"Mother Rong, I will wash it right away. You have been tired for a long day. Go and have a rest."

Mother Rong also knew that she could not persuade this stubborn girl, so she had no choice but to nod.

"Don't wash it too late, it will hurt your hands and waist."

"good--"

"Xiaolan" responded with a smile, rubbing the clothes in her hands. She stopped moving until there was no one else in the courtyard.

Qiao family...

I hadn't heard Rong's mother mention it before, but I didn't expect that the Qiao family had been helping the soup kitchen.

So...can she still stay here?

The world is so vast, where is there room for her Sheng Xiuran...

That night the clan's mansion.

Since the manpower deployed in various palaces was removed in one fell swoop by Emperor Yong, news about the second prince has lagged behind a lot.

By the time he found out that the eldest princess had been punished, it was already late at night.

It was Liu Yun who heard about the raid on Zhaohua Palace and tried his best to find out.

She had no way of knowing some detailed details. She only knew that the prince, Qiao Zhongguo, Tan Hanchi, and Duke Yan were all present. Concubine Wan was also there. It was obvious that there was no way to save her life.

The second prince knew that today was the wedding of the eldest son of the Qiao family, so he never slept peacefully, waiting for news about the eldest princess.

Zhufeng stood in front of the couch, and after relaying the news from Liuyun, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess and Concubine Wan have always been close to you. Now that they have both suffered heavy losses, our help is really getting less and less."

The second prince's eyebrows were heavy, but there was not much surprise on his face. Instead, he murmured in a low voice:

"Knew it--"

When Zhufeng heard this, his face was full of confusion, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

The second prince stood up slowly. No candles were lit in the room. He stood barefoot on the ground. He seemed to have completely adapted to the simplicity of the clan mansion.

"Zhufeng, didn't you notice?"

Zhufeng looked confused, what should he find?

The second prince walked up to the window and opened it.

The moonlight shines in, and it is clear and cold, which can make people clear their heads.

The second prince chuckled lightly and said pointedly: "Every matter, as long as it involves the Qiao family, this palace will definitely fail, right?"

Zhufeng was shocked when he heard this, is that so?

The second prince ignored Zhufeng and slowly made a very clear line in his mind.

"In the initial Chunwei case, if we can intercept and kill Tan Hanchi on the way to the Jinluan Palace, the whole situation will be solved, and the Qingguo Duke's Palace can be used by our palace."

"However, Qiao Zhongguo stood up."

"During the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, the fourth brother 'resurrected' from the dead. According to Liu Yun's later information, the fourth brother had a conversation with Miss Qiao before leaving Funing Palace."

"After the fourth brother left Funing Hall, Qiao Diyi followed closely with Miss Qiao in his arms and followed him out."

"It's hard not to think that it was Qiao Diyi who fished the fourth brother out of Yuhua Lake."

"And Ah Sheng's death..."

"The Duke of Yan's Palace and the Qiao Family are so close. I don't believe it. The Qiao family did not have any hand in Ah Sheng's death!"

"There is also the matter of the military power in the southern border. This military power was originally in the hands of General Xiao. But by chance, Qiao Zhongguo asked his second son Qiao Diyi to become his disciple."

"And on the night when I designed Guo Gaoyi, the Qiao family went to the Xiao Mansion as a guest."

"Then our palace's plan failed. General Guo made a prompt decision and took Guo Gaoyi into the palace to apologize. In the end, he took over the military power in the southern border as he wished, and Guo Gaoyi was spared his life."

"Zhufeng, do you see clearly? The word 'Qiao' is inseparable from every single one of these things."

"This time, I guided Sister Huang to design Tan Hanchi in the Qiao Mansion. Look, it failed again."

The second prince looked calm and spoke out the thoughts that had been lingering in his mind these days.

When Zhufeng heard this, he looked at the thin back of the second prince, feeling frightened and frightened in his heart.

What's surprising is that the Qiao family is so hidden!

What's scary is that it turns out that His Highness deliberately lured the eldest princess to take action on Qiao Dalang's wedding day, just to... verify a conjecture!

So, the eldest princess was... treated as an outcast by Her Highness?

At this time, the second prince slowly turned around, his handsome face was facing away from the light, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

As if he understood what Zhufeng was thinking, the second prince said calmly:

"Zhufeng, the royal family doesn't care about family ties. How could the royal sister be plotting against me...?"

"She has obviously fallen in love with Tan Hanchi for a long time, but she still wants to act out this drama in front of me. If she tells me frankly and asks me to give her advice, I will be more soft-hearted."

"After all, even with a purpose, she still gave me a lot of warmth in the palace."

"Pity......"

The second prince's voice suddenly became low, and he seemed really melancholy and sad.

The next moment, he laughed at himself again.

Sometimes, even he himself felt that he was just like his father, as cold-hearted, as selfish and cruel.

"That's all. If this palace can get what it wants in the future, it will naturally release the imperial sister, and then we will slowly compensate her."

"Fortunately, Sister Huang's failure still has some value. Obviously, it is the Qiao family that has been stirring things up from behind!"

"Qiao Zhongguo, Qiao Zhongguo, I already think highly of you, but I didn't expect that I still underestimate you!"

"How on earth did you do it? It's as if you had divine help..."

Zhufeng's heart also stirred up a storm.

He always thought that the man behind the obstruction of His Highness was the prince!

"Your Highness, where is the prince?"

The second prince turned around and walked to the couch and sat down, and said calmly: "Brother, of course, we should not underestimate him. After all, he is the one who can give this palace a fatal blow..."

Seeing that the second prince spoke so calmly, Zhufeng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

The second prince's fingertips tapped the bed, making a very regular "tap" sound.

"There's no rush. Whether it's the Longevity Festival or the congratulatory delegation from Nanli Kingdom, there's a lot to do in it."

"The difficult thing is how to get around the Qiao family, or... how to drag the Qiao family down with them!"

"Zhufeng, please carefully repeat the news reported by Liuyun. Be careful not to miss any details."

How dare Zhufeng make any omissions? He quickly slowed down his voice and spoke clearly every word.

The second prince listened carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

When Zhufeng finished speaking, the second prince suddenly started talking to himself:

"The Qiao family's status has been stable for too long..."

————

On the second day, a decree came from the palace, and everyone was in an uproar.

In order to pray for the people of the world, the eldest princess Shen Yuanxian was willing to enter the palace and temple for the rest of her life. From then on, she often accompanied the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, eating fast and chanting sutras.

Smartly, he quickly thought of the wedding banquet at Qiao Mansion last night.

After all, the eldest princess also went there last night, but according to the wife at home, the eldest princess went out to change clothes not long after the banquet started, but she never returned until the banquet was over.

When we think about the fact that the prince left the meeting early and the host Qiao Zhongguo "disappeared" halfway, everything became suspicious.

The ministers secretly guessed that the eldest princess must have done something terribly wrong in the Qiao Mansion last night, which was why she was punished so severely by the Holy Emperor.

Why praying for the world is just an excuse that the royal family came up with to save face. Isn't this a life sentence?

Although everyone knew it, no one dared to gossip.

On the contrary, Qiao Mansion managed to escape unscathed from such a turmoil, which made everyone in the capital look down upon her even more.

Meng Mansion.

When Meng Guxue learned about the downfall of the eldest princess, everyone knew about it.

She has been really honest recently, because Mrs. Meng wrote a letter to Qingzhou in front of her, and it seemed that she was determined to marry her to Qingzhou.

Of course she couldn't compromise, but now that Mrs. Meng was looking at her very closely, she could only temporarily put aside all her thoughts and learn to be a good girl in the boudoir.

Meng Guxue was also secretly speechless when she knew that the eldest princess could only eat fast and chant Buddha's name for the rest of her life, which was like being imprisoned for life.

You know, in her dream, because the eldest princess was on the right side, everything went smoothly with Shen Lang, and in the end she was named the eldest princess, with unlimited glory!

well--

Now, Meng Guxue can't believe the dream.

At this moment, she couldn't help but regret her recklessness, so easily betting everything on the second prince.

Because two days ago, Cheap Dad mentioned Wanshou Festival in front of her, which reminded her of someone.

In her dream, the third prince of Nanli Kingdom would lead a delegation to Yong Dynasty to congratulate Emperor Yong on his Christmas.

And this third prince of Nanli Kingdom, Baili Chengyou, is actually a good choice.

Just like those romance novels she read before time travel, in a story, in addition to the male protagonist who is the right one, there is also a second male protagonist who always protects the female protagonist.

And Baili Chengyou is the domineering and affectionate second male lead.

Meng Guxue thought about it carefully later and realized that if she chose Baili Chengyou to become the third prince's concubine in Nanli Kingdom, it would actually be very good.

Because in the dream, Baili Chengyou will also win from the royal family competition and become the leader of Nanli Kingdom!

The second prince was too enigmatic, and he was completely different from the gentle and considerate person in the dream.

Sometimes when she was tossing and turning late at night, she couldn't help but wonder how much love the second prince had for her now, and could she really control him?

"well......"

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue let out a long sigh.

She is obviously a time-traveling girl, but she is still living such a miserable life. She is probably the only one, right?

In the romance novels I read in the past, which time-traveling girl didn't kill everyone in an imaginary dynasty and overwhelm all living beings?

Wait a minute, Longevity Festival is not far away, just think of it as giving yourself one more choice.

If Baili Chengyou is really as affectionate and unrepentant as in the dream, she can't change her goals...

Qiao Mansion.

Hanya Xian slowly opened her eyes and looked at the fiery red bed curtains in front of her, with a look of confusion on her face.

It was already dark outside, and the sunlight illuminated the room.

Hanya Xian's expression suddenly changed and she sat up with a sigh.

"Ouch!"

She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

I got up too hard, and my waist, which was already so sore, felt like I had been stabbed hard by a needle.

"Xian'er, what's wrong?"

Qiao Tianjing was still sleeping when he suddenly heard Hanya Xian's cry and sat up in fright.

Hanyaxian was so panicked, her face was so ugly that she almost cried.

"Tea! We missed the time to serve tea!"

"How can I be so helpless on my first day?"

Seeing that Hanya Xian was so frightened, Qiao Tianjing quickly held her shoulders and said warmly:

"Xian'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, listen to me."

"Mother Cai has already sent someone to tell you that dad is going to court. Let us sleep a little longer and serve tea when dad comes back from court."

"I just saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I told the maids not to come and shout. Look at the sun, it will be a long time before we leave."

Hanya Xian's eyes were already wet, and she was still uneasy when she heard this.

"Are you serious? Qiao Lang didn't lie to me?"

Seeing that Hanya Xian was really frightened, Qiao Tianjing quickly took her into his arms and said warmly: "Xian'er, it's true."

"It's all my fault. I made you tired last night."

"Xian'er, don't worry. My parents are very forgiving people, and there are never many rules in the family. Xian'er can live as he pleases from now on."

Hanya Xian only thought that Qiao Tianjing was coaxing her. After all, what woman can live a casual life after becoming a daughter-in-law?

But after hearing Qiao Tianjing's explanation, she finally felt more relieved.

At this time, Qiao Tianjing asked in a warm voice: "Where did it hurt just now?"

Han Yaxian's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, "My waist...it hurts."

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Qiao Tianjing hurriedly reached out his hand and carefully rubbed Hanya Xian.

Hanya Xian felt the warm back palm fall on her waist and hurriedly reached out to block it.

"No, no need."

There is no reason to ask your husband to rub your waist.

Qiao Tianjing was particularly persistent.

He looked at Hanya Xian tenderly and said in a serious tone:

"Xian'er, you really don't have to be so cautious in front of me. I am your husband. It is natural for me to love you, delight you, and serve you, right?"

When Hanya Xian heard this, her face showed real surprise.

is that so?

But why are books, parents, and people all saying:

The husband is the wife's heaven, and the wife should serve her husband well, manage the inner house for him, procreate heirs, and educate the younger generations. The wife should obey the three virtues and four virtues, and be obedient to her husband...

Qiao Tianjing seemed to have seen through Hanyaxian's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Xian'er, this is the way dad taught me to love my wife."

"I don't care about the opinions of the world, let alone the so-called three obediences and four virtues. I only know that my mother is very happy to be doted on by her father. I hope that my Xian'er can also be so happy."

"It's okay, take your time, we still have a long day, let's start with rubbing your waist, okay?"

Qiao Tianjing chuckled softly as he spoke, and gently pinched Hanya Xian's cheek.

Hanya Xian felt the right amount of force on her lower back, and the heat flowed into her body from Qiao Tianjing's warm palms, making even her heart feel warm.

She suddenly felt that the tip of her nose was very sour.

At this moment, she should have experienced the "happiness" in Qiao Lang's words. She could feel that she was being held in the palm of her hand.

"Qiao Lang, thank you..."

Hanya Xian's eyes were red, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Qiao Tianjing continued to rub his hands and said with a smile: "I caused your back pain, and you still thank me?"

When he was still young, he didn't pay much attention to love affairs. Last night, he tried eating marrow for the first time to taste, but he couldn't help but indulge a little too much.

"Xian'er, do you still want to sleep for a while?"

When Hanya Xian heard this, she immediately gave Qiao Tianjing a wary look.

It doesn't mean what she thinks it means, does it?

She was really exhausted, and her dreams last night were all about jolting on the horse.

When Qiao Tianjing saw Hanya Xian's defensive look, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"I'm not that ignorant."

After hearing this, Hanya Xian was relieved and quickly put away Qiao Tianjing's hand.

"It's time to get up. We can't really wait for dad to come back from the next morning before going to the main courtyard."

Qiao Jiaojiao, the little gossip, woke up early and was absentmindedly playing with the nine-ring chain, just waiting to see her sister-in-law!

Mrs. Qiao was very excited as she became a mother-in-law for the first time. She had prepared red envelopes and tea early, and was waiting to meet her eldest daughter-in-law!

Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little funny when she saw Mrs. Qiao being busy and restless.

[Look at my mother who is so young and beautiful. She is going to be a mother-in-law. Gee, this feels so disconnected. 】

[Hey, the eldest sister-in-law has already entered the door. When the second sister-in-law comes in later, we will be a very lively family! 】

While Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking about something, Grandma Liu suddenly walked into the room with a happy face and whispered:

"Madam, the young master and the young madam are here!"

Mrs. Qiao's steps suddenly stopped, and she quickly said: "Let Da Lang take Xian'er to the main hall. Look at the sun, I should have left the court."

Qiao Jiaojiao was smart enough to slip off the couch with difficulty and hugged Mrs. Qiao's legs.

"Mother! Mother! Brother!"

【Mother! I want to see my sister-in-law too! 】

Mrs. Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao with a smile on her face.

"No matter where my mother goes, she will naturally take this little sweetheart like you with her."

Mrs. Qiao said, kissing Jiaojiao's forehead and carrying her to the main hall.

Qiao Zhongguo hurried back quickly and arrived at the main hall before Mrs. Qiao.

When Qiao Jiaojiao came in, Hanya Xian was giving Qiao Zhongguo a gift.

"Brother! Brother!"

Qiao Jiaojiao shouted excitedly.

Qiao Tianjing immediately came forward and took Qiao Jiaojiao with a doting look on his face.

"My little sister is so good, let me hug you."

Everyone took their seats one by one, and then the new daughter-in-law served tea.

Hanya Xian was still very worried at first, but when she saw that Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao really didn't have the slightest bit of surprise on their faces, she really felt relieved.

Aunt Liu fetched a futon and placed it in front of Qiao Zhongguo's seat.

Hanya Xian took the tea cup, knelt down to Qiao Zhongguo, and said respectfully: "Dad, please drink tea."

Qiao Zhongguo took the tea cup with a look of relief, took a sip, and handed Hanya Xian a very thick red envelope.

As a father-in-law, he doesn't need to talk too much. The mother-in-law next to him will naturally explain in detail the instructions he needs to give.

Hanya Xian took the red seal and knelt down in front of Mrs. Qiao again.

"Mom, please have tea."

Mrs. Qiao was emotional after all, and her eye circles were a little red now.

She took a sip of tea, handed over a red envelope, took Hanya Xian's hand and said warmly:

"Xian'er, father and mother only treat you as one of their own."

"You are an excellent child. From now on, you can live peacefully in the house. If there is anything wrong with you, you can directly tell it to mother, and she will teach him a lesson for you."

When Hanya Xian heard such warm words, her heart was filled with emotion, and she blushed and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart.

[It's great, there are more and more people in the family, wait until...]

When Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts came to this point, her expression suddenly changed severely.

It seems that since becoming a baby, the brain capacity has really become much smaller, and the work and rest habits are exactly the same as those of ordinary babies. It really is a new life.

As the reincarnation time went on, she gradually lost track of many details in the original novel, except for those major events.

In particular, the original work is still from the perspective of Meng Guxue and the second prince. As a supporting role, the Qiao family actually does not have much role.

So now she often has to wait for an opportunity or prompt to think of many things.

For example, at this moment, she was thinking happily that when her sister-in-law gave birth to a niece or nephew in the future, the Qiao family would become bigger and bigger.

But then she suddenly realized that in the original book, the Qiao family ended up with the whole family dying tragically and no descendants. Neither the eldest sister-in-law Hanya Xian nor the second sister-in-law Xiao Qianyue gave birth to a child!

【Oh my God! I am such a short-sighted person! My little broken brain! I actually forgot such a big thing! 】

Latest website: www.irrxs.com

[My sister-in-law has not been pregnant for a year after she married into the family. My parents and eldest brother have not urged my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law is anxious and very uneasy. 】

[In the next year, she saw many doctors intermittently and took many bitter medicines, but nothing worked. 】

[Later, when my mother found out about it, she asked her father to ask Emperor Yong for a favor and asked Dr. Zou, the sage in the palace, to come and make a diagnosis. 】

[You don't know if you don't diagnose her. After a diagnosis, Dr. Zou actually found out that my sister-in-law has been poisoned by an extremely cold poison. The poisoning lasted for too long, and she will never be pregnant in this life! 】

[This incident was such a huge blow to my eldest sister-in-law that she even considered asking herself to resign. It was only the repeated obstruction and consolation from her eldest brother and parents that kept my eldest sister-in-law at home. 】

[But even so, the eldest sister-in-law still had a heart problem. She persuaded the eldest brother to take concubines and have a marriage, no matter what, as long as she could leave a son and a half to the Qiao family. 】

[But the eldest brother always only guarded the eldest sister-in-law. Until something happened to his father later, the eldest brother was also imprisoned and died unexpectedly. The eldest sister-in-law ran around everywhere and was unable to look back, and finally hanged herself in front of the eldest brother's grave...]

Hearing Qiao Jiaojiao's heartfelt words, the expressions of the Qiao family changed drastically, and their livers and gallbladders burst into tears!

Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao had only learned from Qiao Jiaojiao's heartfelt voice that even if the Qiao family suffered great changes, Hanya Xian would never leave the Qiao family and Dalang.

But she didn't expect that her life would be so miserable, and in the end she would die for her love in front of Dalang's grave!

Mrs. Qiao couldn't imagine how uncomfortable Hannya felt before she hanged herself. She must have blamed herself extremely for not leaving a child for Dalang.

Otherwise, a strong woman like her would definitely have to grit her teeth and survive to raise Dalang's children.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao felt so distressed that she almost shed tears.

Qiao Tianjing looked at his newlywed wife, who was completely ignorant and full of joy, and felt even more painful.

How could Xian'er be poisoned?

There is no doubt that the person who did it was their Qiao family, and Xian'er suffered because of this!

Qiao Jiaojiao also looked scared.

[According to Dr. Zou's speculation, my sister-in-law has been poisoned for a year, which means that in the near future, my sister-in-law will be infected without knowing it! 】

[Thank God, I still have the Merit Mall. I will definitely protect my sister-in-law this time! 】

[But currently, it seems that the most important thing is to find out the person who poisoned me! Otherwise, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will be unable to take precautions, and there will never be peace! 】

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts started to wander, her brain became active.

[Every precaution is taken, but it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves. Even if the house has been reorganized, it is inevitable that there will still be fish that slip through the net. 】

[Next, I will go to Qingzhuyuan more often to accompany my sister-in-law and see if there are any problems with the people around her! 】

[Then there are all kinds of banquets and gatherings. I will be on guard to see who is the evil one who dares to attack my sister-in-law! 】

At this time, Hanya Xian had already stood up after serving tea.

The Qiao family had a simple population, and there were no seven aunts or eight aunts, so Hanya Xian smiled and met Qiao Diyi first.

"Second brother."

After Qiao Diyi heard about Hanyaxian's fate, he felt very sad. He suppressed his sadness and shouted respectfully:

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Hanya Xian responded softly and handed Qiao Diyi a red envelope.

Then, she came to Qiao Jiaojiao again and said with a smile:

"Little sister, this is a meeting gift for my sister-in-law."

Qiao Jiaojiao took the red envelope, smiled and stretched out her hand to Hanya Xian.

"hug!"

Hanya Xian's face was filled with surprise when she saw this, and she looked at Qiao Tianjing questioningly.

Qiao Tianjing suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and said with a gentle smile: "Xian'er, my little sister likes you very much. Please give her a hug."

Hanya Xian hurriedly stretched out her hand to take Qiao Jiaojiao. Seeing her pink makeup, white and tender appearance, she felt extremely fond of her.

"My little sister is so cute!"

If he could have a daughter as cute as a little sister in the future, Qiao Lang would surely be very happy, right?

Thinking of this, Hanya Xian blushed and felt ashamed, and quickly stopped her thoughts.

Qiao Tianjing's face showed no expression, his hands under his sleeves were already tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands were prominent...

September 15th is Jiaojiao's birthday.

Logically speaking, a first birthday should be a grand celebration.

However, the Qiao family had just held a wedding banquet, and it had only been a few days since the eldest princess suffered a disaster. After discussion, Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao decided to just invite some relatives and friends and have fun behind closed doors.

Early this morning, the fourth prince arrived at Qiao's residence with his entourage before he could wait for Qiao Zhongguo to go to court.

Now he was quite familiar with the way to the main courtyard. When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he sweetly shouted: "Master's wife! The mistress is here!"

Mrs. Qiao was combing Qiao Jiaojiao's hair when she heard the fourth prince's voice and hurried out to greet him.

"Your Highness, come in quickly."

The fourth prince smiled sheepishly, "Master's wife, I came early today, so I didn't disturb you, right?"

Mrs. Qiao raised her eyes to look at him and saw a little child hiding by the door. His eyes were big and round. He had tanned a lot these days, but he was still a very beautiful child.

The fourth prince spent half of his time in Qiao Mansion in the past few months.

He is very polite at a young age, has a sweet tongue when he talks, and can endure hardships when practicing martial arts. He is good at everything and is very popular.

"Where, Jiaojiao just got up, come in quickly." Mrs. Qiao said with a smile.

The fourth prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly strode in with his hands behind his back, as if he was hiding something.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qiao slightly raised her eyebrows, pretending not to know, and brought the Fourth Prince in.

Qiao Jiaojiao's hair was thick and messy after sleeping all night. She was sitting there in a daze with her hair full of hair.

When the fourth prince came in and saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel novel and happy.

"I have never seen Sister Qiao like this. She is so silly and so cute!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was in a daze when a face suddenly came up to her, startling her.

"Xiao Si!"

【You scared me to death! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao muttered dissatisfiedly.

The fourth prince hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Sister Qiao, look, I have brought you something good!"

He held the things in his hands in front of Qiao Jiaojiao like a treasure.

Qiao Jiaojiao lowered her eyes curiously and saw that it was a golden boat. It was made very finely and was as big as the fourth prince's hand.

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

[This...this can't be pure gold! 】

When the fourth prince saw Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widening, he immediately understood that he had given the right gift and was secretly proud of himself.

He had discovered a long time ago that every time Sister Qiao saw gold or beautiful jewelry, her eyes would light up!

But Qiao Jiaojiao is still young, and he doesn't know what kind of jewelry Sister Qiao likes, so he might as well give gold first!

"Does Sister Qiao like it?"

How could Qiao Jiaojiao not like it? She nodded repeatedly and reached out to grab it.

The fourth prince didn't dare to let go. The gold was very heavy, so don't hit Sister Qiao.

"Sister Qiao, be careful, it's very heavy."

Qiao Jiaojiao was very happy, "Little Four! Little Four!"

[Ouch, thank you! Thank you, little money-spreading boy! It's you who sent such a big piece of gold. Does the Queen know? 】

Mrs. Qiao stood aside, also worried.

"Your Highness, this gift is too valuable. Have you... asked the Queen?"

Could it be that the Fourth Prince stole this from the Empress's warehouse...

The fourth prince nodded quickly, "Of course the queen knows!"

As soon as he said it was for the future prince and concubine, his mother immediately agreed!

"Master's wife, is Xiaosi the first person to give Sister Qiao a gift today?"

He rushed all the way early just to get the first one!

Mrs. Qiao was still a little skeptical, but the fourth prince thrust the heavy boat into her hand.

"Ask my wife to keep it for Sister Qiao. I will save a lot in the future and use it as a small treasury for Sister Qiao!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she felt extremely comfortable.

[These words really speak to my heart! 】

After the fourth prince had his hands free, he immediately grabbed Qiao Jiaojiao and said seriously:

"Happy birthday to sister Qiao. Xiao Si wishes that sister Qiao will be safe and happy from now on!"

Seeing the serious look on the fourth prince's face, Qiao Jiaojiao thought about his kindness, so she gently shook his hand and grinned at him.

"Xiao Si!"

【Thank you, Xiaosi! With your good words, I hope that in two years I can successfully cross the threshold of premature death! 】

The fourth prince couldn't hear Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, and when he saw her smiling, he also curled up his lips.

He didn't tell Sister Qiao that he planted a loquat tree in Yikun Palace early this morning!

When Sister Qiao grows up, the loquat tree will be as tall as a canopy.

When the time comes, I will take Sister Qiao to pick loquats together and give the sweetest one to Sister Qiao to eat!

The queen mother said that if sister Qiao knew that he was so attentive, she would be happy!

Children's joy is always warm and pure, and they only want to bring the best things to each other.

When Qiao Jiaojiao started to comb her hair, the fourth prince went to the back garden to practice martial arts.

He is now used to practicing until he is completely exhausted, and then falls asleep after taking a bath. He always wakes up refreshed the next day, as if he has endless energy!

In the afternoon, guests came one after another.

First it was Duke Yan and An Ning, then the Han family and his wife, and then Duke Ding and his wife.

The eldest young lady of the Xiao family was now the quasi-princess, so she settled down at home to wait for her marriage, and the second young lady followed her.

What's funny is that Qiao Diyi came back with the Xiao family. Those who didn't know it thought he was the Xiao family!

When dinner was approaching, the prince came to pick up the fourth prince in person and also gave Qiao Jiaojiao a birthday gift.

"elder brother!"

Jiaojiao knew what was going on. When she saw the prince, she called her brother, which made the prince beam with joy and couldn't help but hug her.

He weighed it gently and said with a smile, "Well, Jiaojiao has grown up and is no longer the child who would wet his pants on me."

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

【Ah ah ah! Prince! Why do you mention my dark history? 】

The prince couldn't help but smile heartily when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao's little face wrinkled into a ball, as if he could really understand what he was saying.

It's a pity that he can't stay outside the palace to eat at will, otherwise he really wants to attend Miss Qiao's birthday party.

"Jiaojiao, grow up quickly. When you grow up, Brother Prince will take you to play!"

The prince touched Qiao Jiaojiao's head with a gentle and kind voice.

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

[Okay, okay, it's best to wait until you ascend the throne and take me to the Golden Palace to have a look. I'm curious! 】

After the prince sat for a while, he left early with the reluctant fourth prince.

Before leaving, the prince went out of his way to say hello to his prospective father-in-law and prospective mother-in-law.

The wedding date for him and Miss Xiao is tentatively scheduled for May next year, and the Qintian Supervisor will sacrifice it to heaven and earth. It is considered an excellent day.

According to the queen mother's arrangements, the process can begin next month.

After the prince and the fourth prince left, everyone chatted for a while. When the auspicious time came, Qiao Jiaojiao's ceremony of catching Zhou began.

She was placed on a round table covered with red cloth, surrounded by various small things.

The rest of the people gathered in a circle, waiting for Qiao Jiaojiao to make her choice with smiles on their faces.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked around, and finally climbed a few steps to the right without hesitation, and then tightly grabbed a safety buckle.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as eating cake and blowing out candles, so the moment Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed the safety buckle, she secretly made a wish in her heart.

[The letter girl Qiao Jiaojiao sincerely wishes that my family will be safe, free from disasters and pain, and have a smooth life. 】

[If I am allowed to be a little more greedy, then I hope that all good people in the world will be rewarded with good deeds and live a safe life. 】

After the Qiao family heard Qiao Jiaojiao's voice, their hearts suddenly felt soft and sour.

Their Jiaojiao is really kind. She is the most precious treasure given to the Qiao family by God.

At this moment, the Qiao family members gathered around Qiao Jiaojiao and sincerely made the same wish:

If they can, they are willing to take all the blessings to exchange for Jiaojiao to be happy, healthy and worry-free every year.

————

While Qiao Jiaojiao was focusing on eating and drinking to grow taller, the time quickly came to the end of the twelfth lunar month.

The capital seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is already turbulent inside.

The fourth day of March next year will be the Christmas of Emperor Yong's 35th birthday. The last big event was in the year when Emperor Yong was established.

Next year's Wanshou Festival will be especially special.

Because in addition to the envoy from the South Kingdom who had promised to come, yesterday, the North Kingdom also sent a message saying that it would send a mission to congratulate Emperor Yong on Christmas.

When Qiao Jiaojiao learned the news, she was playing with a red hydrangea covered with bells.

It was the fourth prince's new gadget, and he brought it to Qiao Jiaojiao without stopping.

[Is the Northern Kingdom also sending a mission? 】

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she raised her head in astonishment.

Qiao Zhongguo specifically mentioned it in front of Qiao Jiaojiao, just because he wanted to hear his opinions on his precious baby.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but be a little shocked.

[If I remember correctly, the Northern Kingdom did send a mission to the Yong Dynasty, but it should have been several years later. 】

[At that time, the game between the crown prince and the second prince had been brought to light. There was a serious flood in Yuzhou, and the second prince took the opportunity to give the prince a heavy blow. 】

[But the prince was not to be outdone and tried his best to drag the second prince into the water. 】

[That time was probably the second prince's biggest setback in his smooth road to the heir apparent. 】

[It was at that time that he broke through the bottom line in his heart and contacted Beiguo, who had always wanted to help him, and asked them to send a team of envoys. 】

[This mission is apparently here to act as a monster, but in fact it is here to save the male protagonist from the siege! 】

[Could it be that the second prince suffered setbacks due to our Qiao family's previous interference, so he used this method in advance? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao scratched her head worriedly and jingled the red hydrangea in her hand.

[When Emperor Yong celebrated his Longevity Festival, he really attracted all kinds of ghosts and monsters! 】

[I can't even imagine how chaotic it will be on Longevity Day. I guess there will be 10,000 people flying around in the sky! 】

Qiao Tianjing was sitting opposite Qiao Zhongguo, with a solemn look on his face.

"Dad, this Northern Kingdom envoy came at a strange time. It seems that the Second Prince may have already connected with the Northern Kingdom."

Qiao Diyi frowned slightly when he heard this.

He has learned a lot from Duke Dingguo these days, and now he is willing to use his brain. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he just asks him directly.

"The second prince has only been banned by the Holy One for one year. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes next year, the Holy One will naturally release him."

"Why is he so anxious that he takes the risk of contacting the Northern Kingdom and asking them to send a team of envoys?"

"Does the Wanshou Festival have any special meaning to him? Or is it that he wants to use the Wanshou Festival to do something?"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyelids suddenly jumped.

The original work is a Mary Sue novel. This longevity banquet is completely prepared for the heroine. It not only makes her stunning, but also captures the heart of the second male lead.

As for the male protagonist, he was purely a flower protector at this banquet.

But the previous plot has long been nonsense. The second prince has no love in his heart. He simply treats women like dirt!

[Does he want to deal with the prince? 】

[No, he has lost so many trump cards. If he shows his wild ambition now, it will be tantamount to self-destruction. 】

[Could it be that he wanted to show some filial piety on the Longevity Festival and reshape the image of a good son in Emperor Yong's heart? 】

[But he stayed in the clan's mansion obediently and did nothing. Isn't he the most obedient? 】

[Given Emperor Yong's obsession with Yu Liu, seeing how honest he is, he will naturally regain his favor after one year. 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head.

[These reasons are untenable. The male protagonist is so smart. It is impossible not to know that contacting the North Country is a dangerous and dangerous road. There is no turning back. 】

[Once you are caught, you are collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even Emperor Yong can't save him! 】

[So, why does the male protagonist put so much effort into it...]

While Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking, she looked around unconsciously. When she passed by her father, she suddenly froze.

【etc......】

"father......"

Qiao Jiaojiao murmured.

The next moment, everyone in the room became horrified, including Qiao Jiaojiao herself!

If you mention Beiguo, the first thing that everyone thinks of must be the name "Qiao Zhongguo".

The North regards Qiao Zhongguo as its mortal enemy!

If they had the chance, they would naturally want to kill Qiao Zhongguo!

[He knows...the male protagonist must know! 】

When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel her scalp numb and her breathing became rapid.

[He contacted the Northern Kingdom and summoned the Northern Kingdom envoy, not to target the prince, nor to please Emperor Yong, but to deal with Dad! 】

[He is so smart, he must have realized that all his previous failures have more or less the shadow of our Qiao family! 】

[Perhaps this time the eldest princess plots against Tan Hanchi in the Qiao Mansion, and his advice is indispensable! He is testing us with Princess Princess's life and future! 】

[And we undoubtedly crushed the eldest princess's conspiracy once again, which made him more certain of his suspicions! 】

At this point, even Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

[I have always known that he is very powerful, and I never expected that our Qiao family could always hide behind the scenes. 】

[But I didn't expect that he would notice the clues so quickly and react quickly, and I didn't expect that he would not even care about the life or death of the eldest princess. 】

[This man... is so ruthless! 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao felt a little heavy.

[The male protagonist is simply the son of heaven in this world. Not only is he so wise as a demon, but what is even more terrifying is his determination and unscrupulous tactics! 】

[When he discovered that our Qiao family was hiding behind his back, he did not hesitate to go all out and directly confront Beiguo, and quickly organized a counterattack! 】

【Damn! This male protagonist is too difficult to deal with! 】

This was the first time Qiao Jiaojiao used foul language.

Originally, Qiao Zhongguo and Tian Jingdiyi, father and son, were worried, but when they heard the last sentence, they suddenly became confused.

Who can imagine that a baby who is white, tender, and cute as a milk ball suddenly says "mother" in his heart...

"Ahem."

Qiao Zhongguo coughed twice tactically, and then said in a deep voice: "Since the second prince has called the Northern Kingdom's envoy, he will probably deal with me."

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly.

【That's right! Dad, we must be vigilant and fight back! 】

Qiao Tianjing frowned and said in a cold voice: "If I guess correctly, the second prince wants to play borrowed knife to kill, borrow the holy sword to get rid of dad!"

Qiao Jiaojiao quickly continued to nod.

[My brother and I think the same thing! 】

[A small envoy from the North comes to our land of Great Yong Dynasty. It is impossible to play with open weapons, but it is most difficult to guard against hidden arrows! 】

[At that time, during the Longevity Festival, the more fearful the Northern Mission is towards Dad, the more it will arouse Emperor Yong's fear and suspicion! 】

[Since ancient times, how many generals who are good at fighting have a good ending? Aren't most of them because of their so-called high achievements and shocking masters, the kings crossed the river and demolished the bridge? 】

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he couldn't hide his sadness.

Because he knew very well that Emperor Yong would most likely not be able to tolerate him under the instigation of the Northern Mission and the second prince.

Isn't this the case in the future that Jiaojiao foresees?

But now, the crisis has been advanced.

After all, Qiao Zhongguo is an old fox who mixes between the battlefield and the officialdom. He said calmly:

"We can't rush this matter. There are still three months before the Longevity Festival, so we must come up with a careful plan."

"Since the second prince won't let me live in peace, I must find something for him to do. I can't be the only one who is miserable!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes lit up.

[Dad, if you have any great opinions, please tell me and listen! 】

Qiao Zhongguo didn't show off, he smiled.

"Aren't the Nanli Kingdom's envoys coming too? I asked Lao Da that the third prince of Nanli Kingdom is not a fuel-efficient lamp either!"

"Our Qiao family has always fought back, now it's time to take the initiative!"

"Why don't you just come out and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

Qiao Jiaojiao sat up straight.

【etc! etc! Dad inspired me! I almost forgot about the heroine Meng Guxue! 】

[Although the second prince no longer loves Meng Guxue, Meng Guxue is still valuable to him! 】

[According to the established trajectory, the third prince of Nanli Kingdom, Baili Chengyou, will love Meng Guxue to death and will have no regrets. 】

[Even if everything has changed now and Baili Chengyou doesn't like Meng Guxue, it doesn't matter! 】

[Just let him see the value of Meng Guxue, those poems, those formulas, any useful modern knowledge! 】

[Baili Chengyou is also ambitious and capable. He will become the future leader of Nanli Kingdom! If he discovers Meng Guxue's "specialness", he will definitely find ways to bring Meng Guxue back to Nanli Country! 】

[Although the original intention of the fight is different from the original, the essence is that two men are fighting for one woman. Isn't this a good fight? 】

Speaking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely excited.

After all, when I first read the original work, the fighting scene that lasted until the finale was a highlight!

[Oh, how can I let my father and brother know that Meng Guxue is a key link in their fight! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was scratching her head anxiously, while Qiao Tianjing looked at his father calmly and suddenly said:

"Dad, let me leave this matter to my son. It is actually not difficult to provoke a fight between the second prince and the third prince of Nanli Kingdom."

"After all, everyone in the world is fighting for nothing more than power, status, women, and money. I promise that my child will do well."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately looked at Qiao Tianjing with wide eyes and shouted excitedly:

"Brother! Brother! The donkey...can! The donkey...can!"

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

She originally wanted to specify the option "woman", but her little tongue was really disobedient!

She had practiced speaking very seriously overtly and covertly, but it was obvious that even her mature soul had difficulty controlling an immature body.

Qiao Tianjing knew that Qiao Jiaojiao had worked very hard. When he saw this, he quickly came over to hug her and said in a joking manner:

"Look, little sister also knows that she is worried about her brother. Don't worry, brother knows it well. Little sister is so good, brother will take you to play soon!"

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Tianjing's confident look and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

[Yes, my eldest brother is a very smart person. Since he knows what he said, there must be no problem! 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao finally relaxed a little.

————

After having lunch in the main courtyard, Qiao Tianjing and Hanya Xian returned to Qingzhu Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the boy next to Qiao Tianjing said: "Young Master, the book has been delivered."

When Hanya Xian heard this, she consciously wanted to avoid it.

In the past three months, the relationship between the couple has been very good, and it can even be said that they are inseparable.

However, Hanya Xian always adhered to the proper rules and never interfered in Qiao Tianjing's official affairs.

She could see that Qiao Tianjing was really busy.

"Qiao Lang, you go ahead and get busy. The weather is cold now. I'm going to sew some knee pads for my parents and my second brother and sister. I just have time to do it today."

Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing took her hand and said with a smile: "The knee pads are not urgent. Xian'er will come with me first."

Hanya was a little surprised, Qiao Tianjing directly put her hand into his palm and pulled her to the study.

Hanya Xian had been married for three months and had only entered Qiao Tianjing's study a handful of times.

When she was at home, her father had told her that the study room was an important place for public offices and she should not go in and out at will.

When she arrived at Qiao's house, she kept remembering this sentence.

Qiao Tianjing's study room is very elegantly decorated, but now there is a large mahogany box in the center.

Seeing Hanya Xian's curious eyes, Qiao Tianjing pulled her to the wooden box with a smile and opened the lid.

What came into view was a neatly stacked box of books with blank covers.

Qiao Tianjing bent down to pick up a book and handed it to Hanya Xian.

"Xian'er, open it and take a look."

Hanya Xian took the book with a puzzled look and flipped through it.

The next moment, her expression changed slightly, she looked at Qiao Tianjing in disbelief, and whispered:

"Ledgers? This box is full of ledgers?"

Qiao Tianjing smiled and nodded, then picked up another book and flipped through it casually.

Hanya Xian was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened.

She just took a quick glance and realized that there was a frightening amount of money in the account book. How much money was involved!

Her father was preoccupied with official matters and was not good at management.

Therefore, the Han family has always relied on his father's salary, a few shops passed down from his ancestors, and fertile farmland to survive.

Although her life was not rich and powerful, it was more than enough and she was always content.

As for the Qiao family, she knew that the conditions of the Qiao family were definitely much better than those of the Han family. No matter the father-in-law, Qiao Lang or the second brother, they all received salaries.

Furthermore, the father-in-law's military exploits made him famous all over the world, and the rewards from the palace were carried into Qiao's family like flowing water. This is also a great foundation.

However, the richest one in the family should be my mother. After all, there was a rumor in Beijing that when Duke Yan married his daughter, the dowry took three hours to be carried into the Qiao family.

Therefore, Hanya Xian has always had a high regard for Qiao Mansion's wealth accumulation.

But at this moment, when she saw these account books in front of her, she realized that she was still a frog in the well!

"This this......"

Han Yaxian mooted for a long time, and finally looked at Qiao Tianjing and said hesitantly:

"Qiao Lang, our family...hasn't done anything bad, right?"

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, pulled Hanya Xian to sit aside, and said with a smile:

"Is this how Xian'er sees me?"

Hanya Xian quickly shook her head in denial, "No, I...I was just too shocked. This box full of ledgers is really..."

Qiao Tianjing suddenly used a little force on his hands and pulled Hanya to sit on his lap.

Hanya's face turned red, and just as she was about to stand up, Qiao Tianjing had already put his arm around her waist and said seriously:

"My family ran a small business, so I made some money."

Hanya Xian's attention was instantly attracted by these words, and she didn't care that it was not very polite to be so intimate in the study now.

"Small business? What kind of small business can maintain so many ledgers?"

Qiao Tianjing smiled when he heard this, "Xian'er, you should have heard of the three things that have been popular in Beijing recently."

Hanya Xian was slightly startled at first, and then opened her mouth slightly.

"Qiao Lang, are you in charge of Qingzhou's business?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded slightly.

Hanya Xian couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.

She knew that three red things came from Qingzhou a few days ago, which fascinated the ladies in Beijing circles.

At that time, her wedding was approaching, so her mother gritted her teeth and bought some for her.

Damn it, the money went round and round, but it still ended up in my own pocket!

When Qiao Tianjing saw Hanya Xian reacting, he took her hand and said sincerely:

"Xian'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just thought you had just gotten married and wanted you to relax for a while."

"Look, now that you have read these account books, you have to help your husband."

Naturally, Hanya Xian didn't care about this. After she got married, both Qiao Lang and her parents were very good to her, and she was already very grateful.

I would like to ask those girls who married into their husband's family, how many of them can live as freely and comfortably as she does?

Instead, Qiao Tianjing asked her to help, which made her feel even more stressed.

"Qiao Lang, such a large amount of water involves too many things. I...I'm afraid I can't help you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing immediately shook his head seriously.

"Xian'er, why should you belittle yourself?"

"I know, I have poems and books in my belly and brocade in my chest. I have never been an ordinary boudoir girl."

"Even if Xian'er marries me now, I don't want Xian'er to be trapped in a courtyard and bury her talents."

When Hanya Xian heard these remarks, she looked up at Qiao Tianjing in shock, feeling strange and moved in her heart.

Since their marriage, Qiao Tianjing had given her too many surprises, and his words now made her feel that she had married the right person.

Qiao Tianjing touched Hanya Xian's cheek and continued:

"Of course, Xian'er can give it a try first. Bookkeeping business is extremely cumbersome. If Xian'er's interest is not here, we can try something else."

Hanya Xian immediately shook her head, and her face overflowed with sincere joy.

"Qiao Lang, I'm not afraid of tedious things. Before I got married, my mother asked me to learn housekeeping. I think there is a knowledge in it, which is very interesting!"

When Hanya Xian said this, the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes sparkled.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing tilted his head gently and said with a smile:

"Since Xian'er is so capable, I have to tell you more."

Hanya Xian looked over curiously after hearing this.

Qiao Tianjing lowered his voice and told Hanya Xian everything about the court, including what the Qiao family had done and their future plans.

Hanya Xian's eyes widened when she heard this, her heart was extremely shocked, and her thoughts were overwhelming.

Especially when she heard about the current predicament of the Qiao family and the resourcefulness of the second prince, she tightened her grip on Qiao Tianjing's clothes even more nervously.

Qiao Tianjing saw that Hanya Xian was listening deeply and knew that the time was almost up, so he revealed the last shocking secret.

"Xian'er, next... I want to tell you the biggest secret. This is why our Qiao family has put so much effort into planning and reversing the situation step by step."

When Hanya Xian heard this, she couldn't help but feel nervous and breathless, and nodded solemnly.

Qiao Tianjing took a deep breath, leaned into Hanya Xian's ear, and told everything about Qiao Jiaojiao's specialness and the fact that the whole family could hear Jiaojiao's heart.

Hanya Xian was so shocked that she let out a low cry, and her whole body froze.

Qiao Tianjing knew that it would be difficult for anyone to accept such a mysterious and mysterious thing.

But he trusted Xian'er, and he also sought the consent of his parents for this decision.

To change the ending of the Qiao family's collapse, it is inseparable from the efforts of everyone in the Qiao family, and Xian'er is also a victim. He must make Xian'er vigilant and let her learn to protect herself.

After Qiao Tianjing finished speaking, he looked at Hanya Xian with some anxiety, waiting for her response.

Hanya Xian was stunned for a while, but the first sentence she responded to was:

"Qiao Lang, you shouldn't tell me about this matter. The fewer people who know about it, the better protection you can have for my little sister."

Hanya Xian murmured, but when she spoke again, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

"But, Qiao Lang, I am really grateful that you trust me so much, and I am also very happy that I can marry into the Qiao family again."

"I'm not afraid of having my whole family exterminated, or annihilating my descendants. As long as I can be with you, my parents, my second brother and my little sister, all the suffering is insignificant."

"Besides, we can change our fate against the will of heaven, right?"

At this point, hot tears rolled down Hanya Xian's cheeks.

"Qiao Lang, let's protect our family together and change the outcome together."

"I think it all depends on people. This time, happiness and contentment will definitely favor us."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his heart surged with enthusiasm and sourness.

Ever since he learned about the outcome of the Qiao family, he had been tightening his grip every moment, fearing that if he made any oversight, the Qiao family would be in ruins.

He is the eldest son in the family, so he naturally has to take the lead. He is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. He just wants to protect his family.

But now, he has another person who understands and supports him.

This is his wife, his good wife.

"Yes, Xian'er, let's do it together..."

Qiao Tianjing's voice trembled slightly. He buried his head in Hanya Xian's neck and felt a warmth spread throughout his limbs.

Hanya Xian's heart felt soft, and she hugged Qiao Tianjing's shoulders with red eyes.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Soon, Qiao Jiaojiao ushered in her second Spring Festival in this world.

The Qiao family was sitting around the round table, enjoying a warm New Year's Eve dinner.

Qiao Jiaojiao was already able to eat some soft food, and was currently sitting on the baby chair made by Qiao Zhongguo, enjoying her meal.

It was the first time for Hanya to celebrate the New Year at Qiao's house. She was a little cautious at first, but she was soon attracted by the lovely Qiao Jiaojiao.

She was really curious about what it would be like to hear her little sister's voice.

Qiao Jiaojiao was grabbing a piglet and gnawing excitedly. When she raised her eyes, she saw her sister-in-law looking at her, and she immediately opened a big smile.

Hanya Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this chubby little face.

She is really happy about the child, but she and Qiao Lang have discussed it and don't rush to get it yet.

One is that the thief who may have poisoned her as predicted by the younger sister has not been found yet.

Second, she had just come into contact with Qiao Lang's business and was really interested in it, so she wanted to spend more time studying it.

Third, Qiao Lang felt that she was still too young. It would not be too late to ask for it after a year, and it would be better for her health.

Although the future of the Qiao family is uncertain now, Hanya Xian feels peaceful and relieved.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat together to watch the New Year's Eve.

Qiao Jiaojiao was nestled on the couch, happily counting her new year's money and vaguely humming an unknown tune. She looked in a very good mood.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao smiled and talked about the expansion of the almshouse.

"It's really hard for those children. I sent a lot of charcoal there years ago, but I don't know if it will be enough."

"Fortunately, we can start the expansion after the new year. I think they will be able to live more comfortably by then."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately waved the red envelope in her hand towards Mrs. Qiao.

"Mom! Me! Money! Money money!"

【Very good! Mom is so considerate. I have money here, so I will also contribute! Build them warm rooms! Let them sleep soundly! 】

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao stood up and hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, and said with a smile: "There is no need for your New Year's money. Your eldest brother has made a lot of money this year, which is enough!"

"Jiaojiao is saving this money. When you grow up, no matter what you want to do with it, my mother will support you."

This year's New Year's Eve, the young Qiao Jiaojiao still couldn't bear it, and fell asleep in Mrs. Qiao's arms.

But it doesn't matter, the whole family made a wish for her:

May the years be joyful and good people may be in peace; may the years be prosperous and may the country be peaceful and the people be safe.

————

After the New Year, Qiao's family became busy.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't do anything, so she began to practice walking and talking, and soon she could speak short sentences intermittently.

However, because her speech is still unclear, only her family can understand what she says.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is the fourth prince who runs to Qiao Mansion all day long.

Qiao Jiaojiao sometimes chattered to him, but he really understood her.

"Sister Qiao, can you also call me Brother Xiaosi?"

Qiao Jiaojiao snorted softly, "No, no, no, Xiaosi!"

[You want me to call you, this little brat, brother? There are no doors! 】

The fourth prince was a little frustrated, but he immediately thought of an interesting news and decided to share it with Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Sister Qiao, the Nanli State delegation is coming!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was indeed very interested.

"real?"

The fourth prince nodded quickly, "I heard from my brother that the Nanli Kingdom's mission received news yesterday, and they will probably enter Beijing the next day."

Qiao Jiaojiao touched her little nose, the day after tomorrow? Isn't that the eighth day of February?

The Nanli State delegation arrived early enough. Wanshou Festival is on the fourth day of March, almost a month in advance.

"Dong Guo Ding should pick him up in person at that time. Sister Qiao, you love watching the fun the most. You can go to Putian Street to reserve a seat in advance!"

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly when she heard this, "You have Dao Ni!"

Thinking of this, she "mercilessly" abandoned the fourth prince who continued to practice martial arts, and ran to find Qiao Diyi!

It's right to turn to your second brother to join in the fun!

————

On the eighth day of February, the news that the Nanli State delegation was coming to the city had spread throughout the country.

Thanks to the fourth prince's early reminder, the Qiao family had booked the best seat in Zuixian Building. At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao was being held by Qiao Diyi, with her upper body lying by the window, looking excited.

Qiao Tianjing also came together and was sitting at the table drinking tea elegantly.

Soon, a lively cry came from a distance: "It's coming, it's coming!"

Qiao Jiaojiao also cheered, "Come on, come on!"

[Let me see what the domineering and affectionate male lead described in the original novel looks like! 】

A group of people turned the corner and appeared in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.

The first thing Qiao Jiaojiao saw was the tall and handsome Duke Dingguo sitting on the horse.

【Ah ah ah! General Xiao! Second brother, your father-in-law is here! 】

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he immediately looked proud and wished he could tell everyone that he was his master and future father-in-law!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked to the right, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

【coming! Second male! 】

A pure white tall horse, the young man's bright red robe is very eye-catching.

His black hair was draped behind him, only tied a little with a red ribbon, and a golden bell hung on it, making a clear jingle as he swayed on the horse.

His skin is very white and his facial features are outstanding. He belongs to the Mingyan hexagram.

At this time, he had a smile on his lips, looking at the crowd around him, his chin slightly raised, looking proud and unruly.

【handsome! No wonder he can compete with the male lead in beauty, this absolutely rebellious handsome man is so recognisable! 】

The Yong people paid more attention to etiquette, so men had to wear hats when they were outside, and they mostly wore elegant and low-key colors.

People in Nanli are more casual. It can be seen from the popularity of the Secret Medicine of Paradise that people there pay more attention to enjoyment and are more bold and unrestrained.

When Baili Chengyou, the third prince of Nanli Kingdom, appeared on the scene, he was like a drop of ink dropped into clear water, very eye-catching and impressive.

Behind him followed a group of Nanli people with the same long hair and brightly colored clothes.

Qiao Jiaojiao was observing intently when Qiao Diyi suddenly called out in a low voice, "Brother, look who that is."

Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing leaned forward to take a look. Qiao Jiaojiao also turned her head and looked in the direction Qiao Diyi pointed. She saw a teahouse in front of her on the left.

At this time, behind a window at the far side of the second floor of the tea house, a girl was leaning out with great effort.

Her eyes were bright, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She looked very excited!

Qiao Jiaojiao was a little surprised and couldn't help but whisper in her heart:

【Meng Guxue! She's here too! 】

[The last time I saw her was at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet. After half a year, I feel like she has become a lot more beautiful! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's evaluation has always been very objective. Compared with the previous "bean sprouts", the current Meng Guxue is indeed much more beautiful.

You know, in the original book, Meng Guxue was praised to the heavens, and she was even given the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital!

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

[Could it be that the halo of the heroine has come into play and Meng Guxue is about to start her transformation into a female? 】

Chapter 180: Foreseeing the future?

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi never cared about Meng Guxue's appearance.

The straight man Qiao Diyi even found Meng Guxue very disgusting after learning that she would harm the Qiao family.

As a martial arts practitioner, he has long been accustomed to seeing in all directions with his eyes and hearing in all directions.

The ladies from other families came out to watch the fun, all covered with veils. Even standing by the window, they were very reserved, for fear of going out of line.

Only this Meng Guxue was particularly "informal", with half of her body leaning out, so he saw it all at once.

At this time, Nanliguo's team had arrived in front of the gate of Zuixian Tower.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes still fell on Meng Guxue's face. She found that Meng Guxue had a bright smile, and when she looked at Baili Chengyou, her eyes were so bright that they seemed to glow!

At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly felt a weird feeling in her heart.

[This Meng Guxue's smile...why does it feel weird? The look in her eyes...is like seeing prey! 】

Qiao Diyi looked confused when he heard this.

Have it? Why can't he see it?

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue intently for a while, becoming more and more sure of her guess.

【There is definitely something wrong! When she first saw the second prince at the poetry meeting, she was also greatly surprised. 】

[But now besides being stunning, I feel...very confident! 】

【Yes! That's confidence! Looking at her appearance, she had already regarded Baili Chengyou as her prize! 】

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he nodded secretly.

He has become more observant in official circles, and he agrees with Qiao Jiaojiao's views.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel puzzled when she thought of this.

[The heroine is already so trustworthy? Do you think any man has to bow down to her? Or.....】

Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts were surging, and she suddenly sat up straight with excitement!

【Ah, wait! I have a bold idea! 】

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi quickly pricked up their ears.

Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited that she rubbed her hands together.

[Is there a possibility that Meng Guxue really knows that this Baili Chengyou will become her treasure? 】

Qiao Diyi:?

ah? What's the meaning? Why didn't he understand?

Qiao Tianjing:!

What the little sister means is...Meng Guxue also foresees the future! ?

Qiao Jiaojiao's breathing was slightly rapid.

【It makes sense! That makes sense! That day when I met Meng Guxue at Huguo Temple, she suddenly took out the soap. 】

[Obviously it was only in the later stages, when the Second Prince was short of funds, that Meng Guxue started research and production, but now it is so far ahead of schedule! 】

[I didn't delve into it at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, maybe Meng Guxue had already foreseen the future at that time, so he used his trump card in advance! 】

[After all, the male protagonist is not as deeply in love with her as expected, so she should be anxious, fearing that she is eager to prove her worth in front of the male protagonist! 】

The more Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it, the more it made sense!

Qiao Tianjing stood aside, his face full of thoughtfulness.

He didn't pay much attention to Meng Guxue before. Although he had people deployed in Meng's mansion, he just let her adapt to changes.

Years ago, after he and his father decided on the plan of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight", he sent additional people to the Meng Mansion, ready to implement the plan at any time.

If Meng Guxue can really predict the future, then she will definitely make corresponding changes and measures. Whether it is true or not, let people carefully look for the evidence to know!

At this time, downstairs, Nan Liguo's team had almost reached the end of Putian Street. Meng Guxue's eyes followed them all the way and could not bear to look away.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, her eyes suddenly flashed slightly.

[If Meng Guxue really knew the plot, then she should have noticed that the second prince was completely different from the expected male protagonist. 】

[Smart people should know better than to hang themselves from a tree. Since the male protagonist is ruthless, why not choose an equally excellent and affectionate second male lead...]

【etc! Is there a possibility that Meng Guxue came out to observe the target today! 】

[Looking at her excited expression and reluctant eyes, she must be very satisfied with the second male lead, right? 】

[In this case, will she have to change her strategy target...]

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he immediately thought more deeply.

If it is as my little sister guessed, then it will be even easier to implement the plan he and his father made!

His original plan was to design Baili Chengyou to discover Meng Guxue's "specialness".

If Meng Guxue had already developed feelings for Baili Chengyou, then she would naturally try her best to get close to Baili Chengyou.

In this way, the Qiao family only needs to hide in the dark and help Meng Guxue when she needs help!

If Meng Guxue was smart enough, the Qiao family wouldn't even have to do anything for the second prince to fight Baili Chengyou!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing's plan became more and more perfect!

Qiao Jiaojiao is also racking her brains. Meng Guxue is a very important person. She must give her elder brother a warning!

Thinking of this, she pointed at Meng Guxue and shouted with a pure face: "Female power! Female power!"

【Brother! This is the woman you said can make the second prince and Baili Chengyou fight! 】

In order to reassure Qiao Jiaojiao, Qiao Tianjing wrapped her little finger in a pretentious manner and said mysteriously:

"Little sister, please don't point your fingers randomly. That Miss Meng will be of great use next, so be careful if she finds out."

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart trembled when she heard this!

【Oh my God! Is eldest brother so smart? Could it be that eldest brother has long discovered that Meng Guxue is the key? 】

[Ooooooo, big brother, you are simply my god! I can really feel at ease with you here! 】

Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing smiled and picked up Qiao Jiaojiao.

"We've seen all the fun, let's go home."

————

Three days later, Qiao's study room.

Secret guard Qiao San gently knocked on the back window, and a deep voice came from the study: "Come in."

Qiao San climbed through the window and entered. In addition to Qiao Zhongguo, the two righteous brothers were also in the room.

Qiao Zhongguo got straight to the point and asked, "How?"

Qiao San nodded solemnly, "Go back to the general, we found some clues, please take a look."

As Qiao San spoke, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Qiao Zhongguo.

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi came forward and saw three words written densely and repeatedly on the slightly yellowed paper: Shen Yuanbai!

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows suddenly, and heard Qiao San say:

"General, according to the news from the informant, Miss Meng had two strange behaviors. The first was the time when she was rescued from the water by the second young master."

"Ms. Meng developed a high fever that night, and her temperament changed drastically after she woke up."

Qiao Zhongguo nodded secretly, they all knew that time.

According to Jiaojiao's way of speaking, the real Miss Meng was resurrected by someone from another world at that time.

Qiao San continued: "The second time was after Miss Meng returned home from the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club."

"Because Miss Sheng pushed her into the water, Miss Meng developed a high fever again. After recovering from the illness, her temper suddenly became much calmer, and she practiced calligraphy whenever she had free time."

"What the general is holding is written by Miss Meng herself."

"What's more, what's incredible is that Ms. Meng suddenly came up with many weird ideas and came up with unheard of soaps, lipsticks and perfumes."

"Then with the help of personal maid Xiao Tao, Miss Meng successfully made soap. General, please take a look."

Qiao San said as he spread out his palms. Lying quietly on his palms was a piece of soap, which was taken out of Meng's house.

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he already knew what was going on.

As expected, the little girl knows things well!

Meng Guxue might have foreseen the future after returning from the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club!
