Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 113
Chapter 113 Be As Clever As a Springtime Tongue
Coupled with Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yunxi not daring to speak out, as well as Old Madame’s indulgence, their appetites grew bigger and bigger.
Who doesn’t like good things that don’t cost money?
Naturally, everything would be taken for granted.
Li Ruicheng said with a calm expression, “Your aunt borrowed the boat from you. Uncle knows about it, but he has been busy with business and the Chamber of Commerce. He has not paid attention to the boat and hasn’t returned it to you yet.”
Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly and said, “Qiao Qiao knows that Auntie and Uncle are busy, so she never mentioned it. Today, she happened to meet Uncle, so she casually said, Uncle, please don’t be overly cautious.”
Her bright face smiled brightly.
Li Ruicheng nodded, “I’ll tell your aunt later. After the first month, there are more things happening in the courtyard. Your aunt is too busy to be seen all day. In addition, your cousin Rui has a lot of studies this year, so your aunt still has to worry about that …”
“It doesn’t matter. Uncle, aunt can return the boat whenever you want.” Qiao Yunxi said thoughtfully.
After exchanging a few words, Qiao Yunxi got into the carriage.
“Miss” Astragalus hesitated.
“Speak.” Qiao Yunxi looked at the book in his hand and said without raising his head.
“Old Madame favors Auntie the most. If you want it so openly, then Auntie will sue Old Madame …”
“It’s just that Qiao Linzi didn’t report it to the old witch, so the old witch likes me?” Qiao Xi said self-deprecatingly.
“But …” Huang Qi hesitantly said, “Master and madam are not here. Old madam’s temper has risen, and no one can stop her. It’s good to reprimand her. I’m afraid that old madam will treat young miss …”
“Don’t worry, she has her heart set on me. No matter what I do or even don’t do, she will still find an excuse and a reason. Rather than feeling so aggrieved, it’s better to let herself relax first.”
Seeing Qiao Yunxi’s dismissive expression, Huang Qi swallowed the words on his lips.
Sure enough, Qiao Xi had only just returned to Qiao Manor when Nanny Gong came to deliver the message.
Qiao Xi drank a bowl of bird’s nest and took two mouthfuls of dessert before she arrived at the middle courtyard. Before she could enter, she heard Qiao Linzi’s angry roar.
You’re here so fast.
“Grandmother, aunt.” Qiao Xi blessed herself regularly.
“Qiao Qiao also knows that I am an aunt.” Qiao Linzi’s shrill voice was filled with resentment.
Qiao Yunxi smiled and said, “Qiao Qiao is not sick. How can she not even remember her aunt?”
‘”Well, since you still know that I’m your aunt, what do you mean by what you said today? I just borrowed your boat. What did you say to your uncle? You’ve stirred up a feud at such a young age. You’re my niece. My relationship with your uncle is bad. What good will it do you?”
Those words were vicious.
Someone who thinks carefully can think of all sorts of dirty versions.
For example, Qiao Yunxi fell in love with his uncle, which was why he provoked the relationship between his aunt and his uncle.
“It’s no good,” Qiao Yunxi shook his head wooden. “So, Qiao Qiao doesn’t understand why Auntie thinks Qiao Qiao is trying to sow discord? Qiao Qiao only wanted her things back, but in the end, she became the wrong person? Of course, Auntie can say that Qiao Qiao wants things in the wrong way. Over the years, Auntie has borrowed a lot of things from Qiao Qiao and eldest branch. Qiao Qiao has never said anything, much less urged Auntie to return them, right? Today, I happened to meet my uncle at the Chamber of Commerce and had a casual chat. My uncle said that my aunt is very busy during this period of time. Qiao Qiao also asked me to tell you not to forget to have a good rest. There is no hurry about the boat. When it is convenient for my aunt, just bring the boat to the dock. If there are no people, Qiao Qiao can lend some boatsmen to my aunt. I wonder what Auntie thinks Qiao Qiao is wrong? ”
Qiao Linzi was embarrassed for a moment.
In order to monopolize the boat, she didn’t even dock it at the dock that Qiao Xingbang rented. Instead, she put it elsewhere. It was expensive, and she counted it all on eldest branch. Around a few friends a day, sit on the boat for half a day, drink tea, listen to music, and talk about gossip, not to mention how comfortable the small days are.
It was good to be rich. Even if she didn’t know the market price, she knew that the boat was more valuable than the Li family’s house. The key was that it came from the Gao family’s boat. It wasn’t something that could be bought with money!
Ever since the Gao Clan became an Emperor Merchant, they only made warships and rarely merchant ships. Not to mention this kind of boat, the Gao Clan would not accept orders if they weren’t particularly close to each other.
Then what does the Gao Clan rely on for a living?
This was not within Qiao Linzi’s concern. She only knew that the boat in Qiao Yunxi’s hand was not only made by the Gao Clan, but also personally designed and built by the Gao Clan’s master with his grandchildren. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so jealous that she tried to take the boat for herself.
Saying it out loud had a lot of face. The Gao Clan’s old master personally oversaw the building of the boat.
As for how Qiao Yunxi would explain to Gu Family, that was not within her consideration. That was Qiao Yunxi’s business, so she naturally had to deal with it herself.
Originally, she thought that this time, it would be the same as usual, but she didn’t want this damn girl to suddenly enlighten!
“That’s right, you’re right. Your wings are hard now. With your grandfather backing you up, let alone me, I’m afraid that your grandmother is not in your eyes, right?” Qiao Linzi said bitterly, “What do you have to say, you can’t tell me? What do you mean by gossiping in front of your uncle? I think you can go directly to Brother Rui’s grandmother and flip your lips. That’s my mother-in-law, and you want to suppress me!”
“Bastard!” Old Madame Qiao’s eyes were red as she roared, “You can’t see your aunt well! Your aunt has loved you the most ever since I was young. It’s fine if you don’t protect your aunt, but you still do something to sow discord. What are you worried about?”
“Grandmother, aunt, Qiao Qiao is just a precaution, former son, Qiao Qiao was trapped by rumors, not only Qiao Qiao, even three and five sister, even Qiao Family was involved. Auntie is Qiao Family’s married daughter, and she loves Qiao Qiao the most. Presumably, Auntie is also very anxious. Now, the rumors had finally subsided, but Auntie was also somewhat affected. Everyone knew that Qiao Qiao had brought the boat back from her ancestral home. They knew the truth. They knew that Qiao Qiao had lent it to Auntie, but they didn’t know the truth. Auntie had never returned the boat to Qiao Qiao, and all kinds of rumors were about to spread again. Although she was not afraid of the shadow tilting, everyone said that Old Madame Li would probably have a prejudice against her aunt at that time. Qiao Qiao experienced all of this and knew all sorts of feelings. She didn’t want her aunt to repeat Qiao Qiao’s mistakes, so she bravely said those words to her uncle. It was also because Qiao Qiao did not consider carefully that she should have privately asked her aunt to explain. Because Qiao Qiao has always been thinking about this matter. When she saw her uncle, she forgot when she was excited. ”
“You are very talkative.” Qiao Linzi looked at Qiao Yunxi and said unknowingly.
Qiao Yunxi smiled honestly. “Auntie treats Qiao Qiao well. Qiao Qiao naturally has to think for Auntie.”
“Alright, I understand.” Qiao Linzi waved her hand irritably.
Boat?
She definitely wouldn’t give it back to Qiao Yunxi, but she had to find a reasonable excuse to let Qiao Yunxi willingly give the boat to her. Not only did she need the people in the circle to know, she also needed to go to the government to put it on record.
However, before she could think of a feasible solution, Qiao Yunxi continued, “Speaking of which, Qiao Qiao is also very embarrassed. She has caused so much trouble for Auntie.”
“It’s good that you know. Think about the consequences before doing anything next time. It’s best to discuss it with your elders!” Old Madame Qiao put on airs again.
Qiao Xi was taught to nod, “Then auntie, please be free and dock the boat at the dock beside the Jinjiang River. As for the things that were lent to auntie, auntie, please choose a convenient time to send them to the Eastern Campus.”
“Joe, Xi!” Qiao Linzi gritted her teeth and said.
“Scoundrel, what do you mean!” Knowing that she could not suppress Qiao Yunxi, Old Madame Qiao stomped her cane and roared angrily.
Qiao Yunxi rolled his eyes in his heart, but there was a sincere smile on his face. “Grandmother, is something the matter?”
Being provoked repeatedly by this junior, who was still a junior who was casually pinched, Old Madame Qiao could no longer hold herself back no matter how well she cultivated. “Your father is not qualified to say this, let alone you! Why do you need to be so clear when your family borrows something from each other?”
Qiao Xi did not react to the aggressive aura of the old witch at all. She was not really “Qiao Xi”. She did not have any admiration for the old witch and did not care if she could get her approval.
As for filial piety?
Haha, I’m really sorry.
What she asked for was something Qiao Linzi “borrowed”. Although Qiao Linzi was an aunt and an elder of this sovereign, it was not difficult to borrow it again. It was only natural that she “borrowed” the things from the past and brought them back. It was not filial.
Even if the old witch helped Qiao Linzi suppress her, she didn’t dare to go too far. She had Qiao Linzi’s fingerprint slip in her hand.
Speaking of which, this pair of mother and daughter were really weird.
Qiao Linzi went back to her mother’s house to ask for money, and Old hag secretly used the public debt to make up for it. However, there was a limit to Old hag’s subsidy. After all, she had to secretly save money for her private property, so Qiao Linzi could only hint at Gu Jingshu’s Qiao Yunxi from time to time.
However, if Qiao Linzi really wanted to tell him to take it, her brothers would definitely be unhappy.
Everyone wanted to get benefits from the long house, but they still wanted to get it with dignity, without losing value, without losing their dignity, and even with arrogance, as if the money was not something they were shamelessly greedy for, but was sent to them by the people of the long house.
Therefore, Qiao Linzi wrote the IOU in a very formulaic manner. However, there was no deadline for returning it.
It was precisely because she knew that the people in the long room wouldn’t ask for it, that she wrote it so straightforwardly, but she didn’t expect that Qiao Xi would actually have the courage to ask for it!
‘”Grandmother, you should know how to settle accounts with your own brothers, right? Auntie is an exogamous daughter and the Li family is her husband’s family. Auntie’s words and deeds represent the Li family. No matter how rare Old Madame Li is, if Auntie’s character affects the Li family’s face …”
A divorce certificate or something, it was still very simple.
“That was also spread out by you!” In her rage, the old witch used her usual tricks. Qiao Xi must be the one who caused all the bad things.
