Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 100
Chapter 100 A Mess
Qiao Jinwen also regained her senses. Unlike Xue Tao, she stared at Qiao Yunxi.
It was clearly Qiao Xingbang who was scheming, why was it her father who was on Bai Shaoyao’s bed?
She was powerless to change what had happened. What she needed to do now was to figure out what to say later and how to shift the blame onto Qiao Xi and the long room!
Although there was a discrepancy between what was expected and what was expected, it was not bad to maintain the same general direction.
“Tell me, what exactly is going on?” Old Madame Qiao stomped her cane fiercely and gritted her teeth angrily.
“Mother …”
“I didn’t ask you! Bai Shaoyao, tell me!” After all, she was favoring her own son. Once Old Madam Qiao spoke, Auntie Bai would confess her guilt.
Concubine Bai was Qiao Xingbang’s woman after all. Her younger brother slept with his older brother’s woman. Without a reasonable explanation, how could Fourth Master Qiao have the face to stay in the Qiao family?
“Old Madam!” Concubine Bai knelt on the ground, her face filled with fear. “This servant doesn’t know either. This servant slept after lunch. When she woke up…”
“Who is guarding the Eastern Campus? Where are the people guarding the Paeoniflora House?” Every courtyard had a woman guarding the door, and outsiders could not easily enter.
No one replied. Old Madam Qiao looked at Gu Jingshu and said, “How do you manage the yard?”
“Old Madame,” said one of the servants, trembling. “The woman guarding the door stopped him, but Fourth Master said that he was the one who asked him to get the things.”
“Nonsense!” Fourth Master Qiao was the one who felt the most wronged.
To be honest, he didn’t understand why he was in the Eastern Campus or in Concubine Bai’s bed.
He only remembered that he was drunk and had the servant help him back to the north courtyard to rest.
As for Concubine Bai …
He thought it was Concubine Mei, so he took advantage of the situation …
Who would have thought that it would be Concubine Bai after finishing it?
“Servant doesn’t dare!” The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard. The ground trembled with a thud. It could be seen how much effort was used. “Fourth Master, Servant is just a janitor. How could he let anyone in without his master’s orders? Even if Fourth Master is my brother, this is the Eastern Academy. If Fourth Master did not say that he sent you here, how could Servant let you in?”
“What about Shaoyao House? What about the woman guarding Shaoyao House?”
“Old Madame, Servant’s courtyard is unguarded.” It was just a concubine’s courtyard, so how could it be so exquisite?
At this moment, Concubine Bai was no longer in a hurry.
She knew that she was being schemed. Since that was the case, she had to be even more alert. Not to mention changing the situation, she couldn’t let herself be too passive, let alone become cannon fodder.
Qiao Yunxi stood aside and sighed in his heart.
It had only happened for a few minutes. Whether it was the person involved or the bystanders, they were calmer and calmer.
Xue Tao had only lost her composure at the beginning. Now, everyone present was very rational.
“No one’s guarding the door? You don’t even know that there’s a big living person on your bed? You don’t even know who it is, and you do it with anyone?”
Qiao Xi and Qiao Jinwen immediately blushed.
Old Madame Qiao was also furious. Regardless of who was below, she immediately spat out the words from her mouth.
“Old madam, this is the East courtyard. Other than Master, who else would be in this servant’s bed?” Concubine Bai went all out and directly retorted.
“You still have a reason?” Old Madam Qiao snorted coldly, “Big Daughter-in-law, how do you manage the courtyard?”
He returned to his previous questioning.
Clearly, Gu Jingshu had to take responsibility.
“Mother, this servant can’t stop Master. Besides, we weren’t in the Eastern Campus at that time.” Qiao Xingbang said.
Old Madame Qiao also knew that her question was untenable.
“Fourth Brother, tell me about the situation.” She didn’t know how to deal with the messy questions.
“Mother, when my son was drunk, he asked the servant to send me back to the north courtyard. My son was also confused. I don’t know how he got to the east courtyard.”
“Where is he? Bring him up.” Just as Old Madame Qiao finished speaking, a youth crawled over.
“Old madam, this little one did send Fourth Master back to the north courtyard. Mrs. Zhang, who is guarding the gate, can testify! Mrs. Zhang also spoke to this little one and helped him get Fourth Master inside.”
If this servant dared to say so, it should be true.
Fourth Master Qiao still trusted the people from the Northern Campus. Besides, there must have been quite a few people on the way, so a little investigation would be able to find them out.
“Boss, what do you say?” Old Madame Qiao looked at Qiao Xingbang with an unfriendly expression. “Your fourth brother drank so much and you didn’t watch him. Why didn’t you ask a few more people to send him back?”
Old Madame Qiao’s shamelessness once again refreshed Qiao Yunxi’s cognition.
Because he was not used to seeing long houses and could not see good people in them, he could frame anything that would damage the reputation of the Qiao family.
“Look into the people from the Eastern and Northern Courtyards! Look into them carefully! Also, look into the kitchen!”
Everyone eats the same thing, so the possibility of a kitchen is not high.
Qiao Jinwen looked at Qiao Yunxi strangely.
“San’er, what do you have to say?”
“Grandmother, Lian Qiao gave Uncle the sober up soup.”
“I drank.” Qiao Xingbang was a little strange, why did he suddenly get involved in the sober-up soup?
Lian Qiao trembled and did not dare to speak.
Old Madam Qiao narrowed her eyes. “What do you have to say?”
“Slave, Servant doesn’t know anything.”
It was too obvious that there was no silver here at three hundred taels.
Qiao Yunxi sighed.
In order to drag her into this, Qiao Jinwen didn’t care about the change of topic. Anyway, as long as the final result was what they wanted, it would be fine.
“Speak!” Sure enough, Old Madame Qiao said angrily.
“Servant …”
“Pa!”
Nanny Gong slapped Lian Qiao’s face.
“Tell the truth!”
Lian Qiao trembled and looked at Qiao Xi for help.
“No one can save you. I have the final say in this family!” Old Madame Qiao roared angrily.
“Answer Old Madame, there are, there are medicines in the sober up soup.”
“What medicine!” Old Madame Qiao’s eyes were full of light, and it seemed that the matter was about to come to light.
“Old Madame, this servant doesn’t know.” Forsythia crouched on the ground, trembling.
“Qiao Qiao!” Apparently, Qiao Xi had to answer.
“Mother, no matter what’s in that sober soup, I drank it!” Qiao Xingbang stood in front of Qiao Yunxi.
“You drank the soup, but the one who suffered was your fourth brother! Qiao Qiao, you actually dared to attack the elders!”
She was trying her best to frame Qiao Xi.
Qiao Yunxi curled his lips innocently. “Grandmother, is there anything wrong with Qiao Qiao sending sober soup to father? The sober soup was drunk by father. What does fourth uncle’s accident have to do with Qiao Qiao’s sober soup? Grandmother wants to know what’s in the sober soup. You can pass it on to cook mother. The sober soup is made in the big kitchen.”
“You don’t shed tears when you see a coffin, do you?” After confirming that Qiao Xi was behind this, how could Old Madam Qiao let go?
“Mother,” Qiao Xingbang said unhappily, “the sober-up soup is made in the kitchen. My son drank it, and Fourth Brother didn’t even touch it. He went back to the North Court, and then to the East Court. My son thinks that he should find out what happened after Fourth Brother returned to the North Court.”
“Servant doesn’t know, Servant doesn’t know anything!” Lian Qiao suddenly went crazy. Everyone could smell something different.
“Speak! What do you know!” Old Madame Qiao’s expression twisted as she said impatiently.
Qiao Xi’s eyes dodged, her expression panicked.
Xue Tao had completely calmed down.
She had just slept with a loose person, a thing to vent her anger on her father, what was there to worry about?
She was the head mother of the Northern Campus. Fourth Master had always restrained his lust for women, even the one in the courtyard. She had only rested there for a month or two. Fourth Master had great respect for her, and she had all the dignity that her first wife deserved. She really didn’t need to make trouble. This would make Fourth Master lose face and let outsiders see the jokes of the Northern Academy.
Didn’t Fourth Master appreciate her thoughtfulness and ability the most?
Old Madame doted on Fourth Master the most, and this matter would not end in the end.
With this thought in mind, Xue Tao’s emotions gradually calmed down.
Concubine Bai?
The matriarch will definitely not stay.
Her existence was Fourth Master’s stain.
Although it was a pity, there would still be other concubines without Concubine Bai.
Long room, it won’t be long.
Xue Tao withdrew her slack emotions and looked at the kneeling and kowtowing Lian Qiao.
“Old Madam, this servant doesn’t know anything. I don’t know!” Forsythia was still struggling for her last breath.
Nanny Gong stepped forward and grabbed her hair, slapping her face, causing her face to swell up.
Qiao Yunxi wanted to say something, but when he saw Mammy Gong’s posture, he was scared again. He hesitated and stood there awkwardly.
“Go, bring Laoziniang of Forsythia over!” Old Madame Qiao used a ruthless move.
“Old Madame” Lian Qiao pleaded, but could not stop the little maidservant’s footsteps.
Soon, the forsythia family was brought over.
“Notify Grandma Ya!” Was he going to sell this family?
Gu Jingshu frowned, wanting to stop Old Madam Qiao, but Qiao Xingbang quietly pulled her back.
Gu Jingshu immediately understood and quietly withdrew the tip of her foot.
“Spare me! Spare me, Matriarch!”
Lian Qiao’s mother did not know what had happened and instinctively begged for mercy.
“Lian Qiao, do you want to say it or not?” Mammy Gong asked.
Old Madame Qiao didn’t even want to ask questions now.
In any case, Lian Qiao was Qiao Xi’s person. She said or not, she could finally be related to Qiao Xi. What she cared about was how to pick her youngest son out of this matter, and she also had to pick him out without any influence.
Lian Qiao looked at Nanny Gong in despair and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze towards Qiao Xi became complicated.
Guilt, hesitation, reluctance, pleading …
The five flavors were so complicated that she couldn’t even distinguish them.
“Young miss, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, young miss, I’m sorry …” With these words repeatedly said, Lian Qiao’s face was full of tears.
Everyone looked at Qiao Yunxi.
At this point, the truth seemed to have come to light.
“Old madam,” said Lian Qiao calmly. “The medicine in the sober-up soup was given by this servant. This servant was entrusted with the medicine by Concubine Bai.”
