Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 115
Chapter 115 An Inexplicable Act
Although Jin Baijin was nothing more than a chicken rib to her, she was the only one who didn’t want to give up on her.
“It’s so cold outside. Do you want to get into the carriage?” Sun Xian had a concerned expression on her face.
Inside the carriage, the maidservant sitting in the corner was ready to stand up.
Jin Baijin shook his head, “No need, little sister Xian Xian, the race exam is going to be polo this year. I want to give it a try.”
Just you?
Sun Xian glanced at Jin Baijin’s fat body frivolously.
Jin Baijin continued happily, “I managed to get promoted to Class B with great difficulty. If I put in all my effort, Class A still has hope.”
“But, Big Brother Yuan Bao, didn’t you say before that you would go home to take over the business after you reached the age of fifteen or sixteen in the clan school?”
‘”That was in the past. In the past, I lived in a daze. After all, I was the young owner of the’ First Grade Building ‘, so it was useless to me to study. But Qiao Qiao said that the difference between the shopkeeper and the errand boy was in the head. Those who had brains and commanded others, those who didn’t have the strength, could only work as coolies.”
Of course, this wasn’t Qiao Yunxi’s original words, but Kimberkin felt that his meaning was similar to Qiao Yunxi’s.
“Big Brother Yuanbao can understand. Xian Xian is also very happy.” Lowering her voice, Sun Xian tries to keep her tone as calm as possible. However, her slightly trembling body and fists firmly pressed against her thigh expose her twisted mentality. “Before, Xian Xian had advised you, but you never listened to Xian Xian. Sure enough, it’s still Sister Qiao Qiao’s words that work.”
He lowered his eyes in grief and continued to glance at Jin Baijin.
Jin Baijin smiled honestly, “In the past, I was ignorant and didn’t understand Sister Xian Xian’s painstaking efforts. Now that I have enlightened myself, I will naturally study diligently.”
Qiao Yunxi rolled his eyes in the other carriage.
Enlightenment?
Why didn’t he say that the seven orifices were bleeding?
However, since she was working with Kim Bak-kin, she naturally hoped that her partner would be smart. Not to mention God’s Assistance, she couldn’t at least be a pig teammate.
As the sole heir to Jin Family, Kimberkin was as lazy as the average rich N-generation-anyway, those were his, and he didn’t have to fight for anything. When the time came, he sat in that position. He didn’t need to worry about business matters. He had shopkeepers and stewards. As long as he didn’t commit crimes, his life would be like this.
It wasn’t until he and Qiao Yunxi worked together and the two of them prepared to test their skills that they felt a sense of urgency.
This was because this was a private collaboration between the two of them. It didn’t involve family, manpower, or anything else. They were both nurtured by the two of them. After a few discussions, Kim Bai-jin finally “opened his mind”. He finally knew that reading had the benefits of reading.
However …
Qiao Yunxi shook his head in amusement.
Kim Bak Kim also had a merchant superstition side.
It was like this trip to the temple. It was obviously for fun, but it was actually for the sake of praying for the new store that was being prepared.
As for Sun Xian’s companions, they were completely surprised.
She guessed Sun Xian’s thoughts, but seeing that Jin Baijin, who had always flattered and fawned on her, suddenly stopped circling her, she couldn’t accept it anymore, so she hurriedly roared and followed her.
When they arrived at the temple, they kowtowed one by one to the order and finally arrived at the Grand Treasure Hall.
Kim Bak Kim kowtowed sincerely and muttered.
He was looking forward to this cooperation. From beginning to end, it was him and Qiao Xi who planned and prepared it, and his family supported it. Although his family did not interfere because of his strong request, and did not even reveal anything, they had been secretly “escorting” him.
Jin Baijin and Qiao Xi both knew this. After discussing it, the two of them chose to acquiesce.
After all, the two of them were only children, and this was their first time doing business. With adults escorting them in the dark, their hearts were also at ease.
After eating Ramadan, Qiao Yunxi went straight back to his dhyana room. With the permission of his elders, the three of them spent the night in the temple tonight.
However, Qiao Yunxi did not expect Sun Xian to knock on her door.
“Sister Qiao Qiao,” Sun Xian sat beside Qiao Yunxi affectionately, “why did you suddenly go back to your room? I was thinking of going around together.”
“What’s going on in the temple? There are monks everywhere.”
“Sister Qiao Qiao, you didn’t see Big Brother Yuan Bao with me, so … are you angry?” Sun Xian asked carefully.
What kind of logic was this?
Sun Xian said dejectedly, “Sister Qiao Qiao, you misunderstood. Big Brother Yuan Bao and I have nothing to do with each other. Our two families are close friends since childhood, but I have always treated Big Brother Yuan Bao as my big brother. Sister Qiao Qiao, don’t misunderstand!”
“What do I misunderstand?” Qiao Yunxi asked amusedly.
Sun Xian bit her lips and her eyes reddened, as if she had suffered a great grievance. “Sister Qiao Qiao, I know that you are dissatisfied with me. It was you and Big Brother Yuan Bao who went out alone. I insisted on coming out. You must be very angry, so you went back to your room after dinner.”
Ha!
Qiao Yunxi didn’t know how to comment on Sun Xian’s brain circuitry.
On the other side, Sun Xian continued, “Sister Qiao Qiao, I really don’t have any other intentions. I just want to go out with you. If you don’t like me, then I… I’ll go back.”
“Alright.” Qiao Yunxi nodded.
Sun Xian’s face immediately turned pale, her lips trembling and she couldn’t make a sound.
“Miss Qiao,” said the Little Maid Protector beside Sun Xian, “my young miss has come to explain to you in a low voice. Is this how you treat my young miss?”
Qiao Yunxi raised his eyes slightly.
Astragalus rebuked arrogantly, “First, your family’s young miss took the initiative to come. My family’s young miss didn’t invite her. Second, your family’s young miss wants to explain. It’s your family’s young miss’ business. Could it be that your family’s young miss has explained and my family’s young miss wants to accept it? I have never seen such a forced transaction before?”
“You …”
‘”Qiao’er,” Sun Xian stopped the maidservant and looked at Qiao Xi apologetically. “I’m sorry, Sister Qiao Qiao, I didn’t know you would think that. I came to explain it to you sincerely, but looking at it now, it seems like it’s too much.”
“Sister Qiao Qiao, I won’t disturb your rest anymore,” she laughed self-deprecatingly.
Seeing Sun Xian leave, Qiao Yunxi frowned.
Midnight.
“Ah–”
A miserable scream resounded through the night sky.
The quiet monastery quickly surged.
The martial monk patrolled the courtyard alertly, staying behind to guard a few people, while the rest of the monastery was searched.
Sun Xian sat on the bed trembling, her blurry eyes, and her mouth subconsciously murmuring. Obviously, she was already unconscious.
Although she didn’t receive any substantial damage and her clothes were intact, she was still a girl, so she immediately blocked the news.
Jin Baijin sat anxiously by the bed, comforting Sun Xian in a low voice while trying to recall Sun Xian’s consciousness.
Qiao Xi stood aside unconcerned.
“Young Master Jin, after my young miss came back from Miss Qiao’s dhyana room, she immediately rested and Servant stayed by the bed. As you know, my young miss has the habit of drinking water in the middle of the night. When it is a little late, Servant habitually wakes up. Just as he is about to pour water for her, the window is suddenly opened by an external force. Before Servant can react, a black-clothed man breaks into her room. Servant saw clearly that it was a woman. Servant subconsciously shouted, and the black-clothed man flew to the bedside to catch the young miss with a flash. When Servant let out a scream, the young miss was awakened. So when the black-clothed man flew to the bedside, the young miss instinctively struggled. At this time, the patrolling martial monk arrived and the black-clothed man escaped in a hurry. ”
A flawless narrative, but it was too perfect.
Perfect to the point that every detail was so “coincidental”, Sun Xian could be said to have escaped death.
There was not the slightest bit of panic, nor was there any rejoicing in the aftermath of the calamity. Qiao’er’s explanation was too calm and logical.
He didn’t know how long he had memorized it.
At this time, if Qiao Yunxi didn’t see through it again, he would have lived two lives in vain.
He looked at the golden ingot mockingly.
Sure enough, Jin Baijin wrinkled his fat, fleshy face. “Little sister Xian Xian, don’t be afraid. The Martial Monk has already chased after him. The people I brought with me are also searching the surroundings. They can catch him very quickly. Hmm, do you want to send a letter to the Sun Clan?”
Jin Baijin said these last words to Qiao Xi.
The three children had no experience in handling affairs, and their room had been trespassed upon. As a girl, Sun Xian was always at a disadvantage. Although the news had been sealed, it was still necessary for adults to take care of the aftermath.
‘”Thank you, Young Master Jin. You’re still considerate,” said Cheer with a snot and tears. “This servant has already sent someone back to report the news. It’s just that my young miss is like this …”
“The host checked Xian Xian’s pulse and prescribed the antidote. Xian Xian will be fine after drinking it.” Jin Baijin said with ease, but his eyes were filled with worry.
‘”Young Master Jin, tell me, why did my young miss suffer such a calamity?” After the calamity, Qiao’er said in fear, “You know that my young miss is the kindest and never has a grudge against anyone. How could anyone harm her?”
“Are you an opponent of Uncle Shi’s business?” Jin Baijin said carelessly as he looked at Sun Xian’s situation.
“How could it be!” Qiao’er immediately retorted, “Master has always been kind in his business. Over the years, our Sun Clan’s business has grown bigger and bigger, but we have never encountered anything dirty. We have never secretly plotted against others, nor crossed the river to tear down bridges. Young Master Jin, you are the clearest on this point.”
Jin Baijin subconsciously nodded.
Qiao’er said reluctantly, “My young miss has a docile temperament since she was young. She treats everyone well, but she doesn’t want to be framed!”
“Qiao’er, you can’t speak nonsense.” Jin Baijin frowned. His gaze was still on Sun Xian, but there was an inexplicable trace of irritation in his heart.
‘”Young Master Jin, Servant is not spouting nonsense.” In order to complete the task, Qiao’er went all out. She closed her eyes and said, “My young miss was attacked when she came back from Miss Qiao’s room. It must have something to do with Miss Qiao.”
“Totally nonsense!” ‘”Who knows who your young miss provoked? She was ambushed in the middle of the night and blamed on my young miss. Is it interesting? My young miss is kind-hearted and doesn’t bother with you. You guys kicked your noses. It’s easy to bully my young miss, isn’t it?” Huang Qi retorted, regardless of whether it complied with the rules or not.
