Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Everyone Else Was Wrong
Qiao Yunxi leaned over and leaned towards Gu Jinzhen, “Guess what.”
Her cunning gaze carried a teasing smile.
His fingers itched. Gu Jinzhen did not know how much effort he used to suppress the urge to pinch the tip of Qiao Yunxi’s nose.
The faint breath of mint at the tip of his nose made him feel apprehensive. An abnormal heat rushed towards his forehead. Gu Jinzhen tried his luck, but was unable to control the chaotic air currents in his body. He allowed them to rush up to his forehead, and his cheeks gradually turned red.
While trying to control her expression, she met Qiao Xi’s gaze seriously, “You want Second Qiao to …”
Hesitant words.
Qiao Xi understood that Gu Jinzhen knew what she was going to do.
“I can help.”
“Tell me.” Ever since he knew that Gu Jinzhen would not go against her, Qiao Yunxi’s attitude towards Gu Jinzhen had improved a lot.
She didn’t know much about Gu Jinzhen, but she could tell that Gu Jinzhen was open-minded and didn’t pay too much attention to her affairs. Even if he wanted to make a move, he would first ask her for her opinion, which could be considered to be very respectful of her.
On this point, Qiao Yunxi and Gu Jinzhen were trustworthy partners.
Of course, Qiao Yunxi would not borrow Gu Jinzhen’s power because of this. It was inconvenient. On the other hand, she believed that these were all Qiao Family’s personal matters. There was no reason for outsiders to help. Moreover, she was having fun and practicing hard.
“Second Brother Qiao knows Li Si. Did you ask someone to leak the news to him?”
Qiao Xi nodded. She did not deny this.
“But how many people does Second Brother Qiao have? That’s why he asked for help from outsiders.”
“Your people?”
Gu Jinzhen nodded, “The middleman took the lead and found my people.”
Qiao Yunxi narrowed his eyes.
What middleman led the way, looking for your man?
It was clearly your men who stared at Qiao Lao’er and found that he had found a middleman. They kidnapped the middleman and robbed him of this business.
“Get to the point.” Qiao Yunxi gritted his teeth and deliberately said fiercely.
The smile on Gu Jinzhen’s face deepened, and he couldn’t help but pinch Qiao Yunxi’s nose.
Well, it feels good, as exquisite as I imagined.
Without satiating her greed, her fingers heavily pressed down on the tip of Qiao Xi’s nose.
“Too much!” Qiao Yunxi tilted his head and dodged Gu Jinzhen’s claws. “Tell me the truth, what are you doing?”
Gu Jinzhen’s heart was gentle, and the subtlety still stirred his heart. He couldn’t explain the unexplainable emotions that lingered in his heart.
Since he was young, he had followed his grandfather to the southern border and lived with a group of great masters. Because of his status, the soldiers below were behaved properly in front of him. The rude men had to obediently say literary words. Who would teach him the rules between men and women?
If he liked it and wanted it, he would directly attack it. The feeling was good, so he just lingered for a while. Although he knew that it wasn’t appropriate, he didn’t think that his actions had anything to do with it, nor did he think that there would be any complaints.
As for Qiao Yunxi’s careless temperament, she had occupied the nest for so long, and Mammy had not specifically taught her the rules. Whether it was Gu Jingshu or Mammy Shen, they kept her safe. As long as they did not do anything to harm her, they would never deliberately restrain her. Although Mammy Feng would occasionally remind her, she had no time to restrain herself ever since Mammy Feng had concentrated on the East Courtyard.
Therefore, the two of them did not have any concept of a man and a woman’s great defense. They were ignorant and harmonious.
“Since you’ve helped Second Brother Qiao, you have to ensure his safety no matter what.”
This time, Qiao Yunxi finally understood what Gu Jinzhen meant.
Saving Li Si and making him testify were all done by Second Qiao and Gu Jinzhen’s men.
She only told Second Qiao that Li Si had something to do with the burning of the warehouse. Second Qiao also went for this. However, she didn’t expect that Li Si would be so forceful. She even told him about Qiao Linzi’s adulterer and the murder of Li Ruicheng. Of course, this was what Gu Jinzhen told Li Si. No matter what, Second Brother Qiao had made a lot of money on this deal.
“You already knew what I was going to do?” Squinting her eyes, Qiao Xi looked vigilantly at Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen explained, “Of course I don’t know. My initial thought was that since Li Si is a witness, I should prove everything I can prove. It can also be considered as making the most of it. The Qiao Linzi incident has become a big issue. The Qiao Family and the Li Family have become enemies. The more chaos, the better.”
This way, the old witch won’t have the mood to target you.
“With Fourth Qiao’s vigilance, he will definitely be suspicious. Perhaps this pit can help.”
“Wasn’t it really planned early on?” Qiao Yunxi narrowed his eyes.
“No.” Gu Jinzhen shook his head honestly.
If I believe you, there will be a ghost!
Qiao Yunxi snorted.
If it was someone else, she could think of it as a coincidence, but Gu Jinzhen?
Which of the great figures in the battlefield who commanded the battle didn’t take ten steps at a time, if he didn’t count as Ji Qiao’s second brother from the beginning?
Haha.
She doesn’t read much, don’t lie to her!
However, the hole that Gu Jinzhen had buried had indeed helped her a lot.
…
Old Madam Qiao’s health was very bad, but she was still at Qiao Linzi’s 7th birthday, leading her family to the temple to do things for Qiao Linzi.
Fourth Master Qiao had originally arranged for the monk to come home to do something, but Old Madame Qiao felt that it was more sincere to go to the temple. Moreover, she wanted to set up a tablet for Qiao Linzi in the temple.
Qiao Linzi had died in vain, and his body could be considered dead. His hostility was too heavy, and his injustice too heavy. In order to make Qiao Linzi have a good birth in her next life, Old Madam Qiao took great pains to prepare a tablet in the temple to help Qiao Linzi wash away her sins.
Old Madam Qiao ignored her body and persisted until the ceremony was over. She personally placed incense in front of Qiao Linzi’s tablet before Nanny Gong sent her back to the dhyana room.
Today, the Qiao Clan was mobilized by the entire clan, regardless of whether it was men or women. This was something that the people from the few rooms had the intention to show to Old Madam Qiao.
After taking a nap, Old Madame Qiao drank some medicine, but she was worried. She looked very energetic.
“Grandmother, do you want to take a look around the garden?” Qiao Jinwen suggested.
The temple had special gardens, which were cultivated by pilgrims. After forming a certain scale, the temple was specially guarded. Occasionally, pilgrims would invite a flower or two back, or bring two pots of flowers from their homes and serve them in the garden for a period of time before moving back.
Although it is free, pilgrims will still symbolically accept some silver.
The flowers of Qiao Mansion had already moved here. They were the lotus and peony that Qiao Linzi liked.
Old Madame Qiao specially asked someone to find a precious breed and offer it to her in the garden. When she returned tomorrow, she would bring it back with her, one in her courtyard, and the other in the courtyard before Qiao Linzi came out of the pavilion.
The garden wasn’t big, but it was filled with flowers. The flower pots on the side were also filled with flowers. From ordinary varieties to precious flowers, they practically covered all sorts of flower classifications of the dynasty.
Qiao Yunxi secretly stabbed at it. There were still many people who came from other countries, presumably from families with some family background.
‘”Lin Zi likes Hibiscus the most. Before she left the pavilion, her family was filled with Hibiscus. Later, she got married and took away more than half of it. At that time, I was still smiling. How could a girl get married and bring a few carriages of Hibiscus flowers? Guess what the child said?” Old Madame Qiao said this to Mammy Gong.
Mammy Gong was also very touched, “Old Madame, this old servant remembers what Miss said that day. She said that seeing Hibiscus flowers is like seeing Old Madame and returning home.”
“That child has been filial since childhood,” Old Madam Qiao said. She was a little excited. Qiao Jinwen hurriedly took the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes. “When she was just born, it was a small ball. It looked like a cat. Compared to Fourth Brother, it was far from being filial. I even joked that the two children were in my stomach and their food was snatched away by her big brother. The child was born quiet, quiet, but sweet, always following behind me and helping me. At that time, Qiao Family’s business was starting. Master was busy with things outside. I was in charge of the backyard. The one in the south yard was also noisy. If Lin Zi hadn’t been by my side, I wouldn’t have been able to hold on. ”
Qiao Ningdai’s expression was awkward.
The one in the south courtyard was her serious grandmother.
Old Madame Qiao was still recalling, “Daughter, I’ve been tired all day. She sat beside me, hammering her legs and pouring water. How old is she? She doesn’t need Maid’s help. She said that she wanted to do this with her own hands and be filial to me.” She and Li Ruicheng were childhood sweethearts. Back then, when the Li family’s master said that they were getting married, I was unwilling. It wasn’t that I didn’t like Li Ruicheng, but Old Madame Li found it hard to get along with him. I was afraid that Lin Zi would get married and feel wronged. However, that child and Li Ruicheng are in love. I thought that as long as the two of them can be in harmony, Li Ruicheng can protect Lin Zi a little. In addition to her mother’s brothers, that child’s life won’t be too difficult. At first, the two children were fine. After all, they were in love when they were young. Later, they had Brother Jue and Brother Rui. Our Qiao Family is developing better and better. My heart ached for Lin Zi, so I asked the boss to help her a little. Who knew that after Li Ruicheng’s business went smoothly, he would also come out. Don’t think that I don’t know. The few people in his backyard were obviously gifted by business friends, but he actually found them outside. “Because of Lin Zi, as a mother-in-law, I don’t know what to say, but my heart hurts!”
After listening for a long time, Qiao Yunxi finally remembered.
The old witch was trying to excuse Qiao Linzi.
She did not need anyone to believe her words, as long as she believed it herself, so it was better to say that she had said it to herself than to say it to others.
If she believed him, she would feel at ease.
She believed that Qiao Linzi was famous for what she had done.
She believed that Qiao Linzi was the one who suffered and was forced to that point.
Sure enough, Old Madame Qiao continued, “My heart aches for Lin Zi. I will help her from time to time. My husband doesn’t come home at night, and the child gradually gets into trouble. The child’s heart is bitter, and he can’t find anyone to talk to. He has to deal with his mother-in-law’s troubles, and the women in the backyard. It’s all my fault that Lin Zi’s temperament gradually becomes obedient.”
“Grandmother …”
“Old Madame, Miss doesn’t want you to be like this either. Miss is the most filial. You must know that you have hurt your body because of her, and you are not at ease when you leave.”
Everyone was crying, and Qiao Xi stood on the side without caring about anything.
