Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 167
Chapter 167 What’s Wrong
“Madam, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, right?”
“Misunderstanding?” Old Madam Qiao shouted sharply, “I heard it with my own ears. What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Your good son found someone to testify in court that my Lin Zi was killed by your son!”
Old aunt Zhang did not panic at all. He glanced at Second Master Qiao who was kneeling on the ground. “Is that so? I wonder what Madam heard them say. So Second Master must have done it.”
“You don’t see coffins without tears, do you?” Old Madame Qiao said viciously, “Your good son found someone outside, got a so-called witness, and framed Lin Zi in the court. My Lin Zi was killed by your son, I heard it with my own ears! That Lord Yun is your son’s accomplice!”
Qiao Yunxi shook his head.
This old witch was indeed no match for Concubine Zhang.
Look.
Concubine Zhang spoke in a gentle tone. No matter what she said or how she said it, they were all organized languages.
And look at Old hag.
With a heart-wrenching roar and an explosive temper, Lady Concubine Zhang would lose her advantage if she were to say a few more words.
Sure enough, Old aunt Zhang said, “Madam, Lord Wei is fair and righteous. There has never been a wrong case in his hands. Since the witness you mentioned can testify in court, Lord Wei has taken his testimony again, which means that what he said is true.”
So, Qiao Linzi was blaming herself, what did it have to do with other people?
“What do you mean?” ‘”What do you mean by your son framing my daughter? You mean my Lin Zi deserves it?” Asked the hostage.
You know that and you’re still asking?
Qiao Yunxi cursed.
“Madam, I don’t dare. I’m just telling the truth.”
“Call a spade a spade?” After being provoked again and again, Old Qiao was furious and her aura was somewhat unstable. “Without what your son did, Lin Zi would not have been sentenced! Your son is the murderer, the murderer!”
“Second Master, where did you get the witness Li Si from?” Old aunt Zhang asked calmly.
Old Madam Qiao’s heart skipped a beat.
“Concubine mother, my son is also puzzled by this matter. My son came to Lord Shangyun to ask him for help and see if there are any clues to find the culprit who burned the warehouse, because my son does not believe that Fifth Sister would do such a thing.”
Therefore, he originally had good intentions.
“How did Master Yun find out about Li Si? Son is not sure, but Master Yun only said that Li Si was related to the burning of the Li Clan’s warehouse. Son did not think too much and asked Master Yun to find Li Si to prove that Fifth Sister is innocent. Who knows … I did something wrong with good intentions.”
Wasn’t it just doing the wrong thing with good intentions?
She clearly wanted to prove Qiao Linzi’s innocence, but who told her to really do those things? In the end, Li Si’s testimony became her life-threatening talisman.
“So it’s time for me to thank you?” Old Madame Qiao’s eyes were scarlet and she stamped her cane desperately.
“Mother, don’t be angry.” Fourth Master Qiao finally spoke.
He had always been surprised that the news was so tightly covered and the person was so closely watched. How could he be bearded? It turned out to be someone from Second Fang.
That makes sense.
However, I didn’t expect Second Brother to be so powerful that he could actually ask Master Yun for help.
He had more contact with Wang Qi, and Fourth Master Qiao also knew more important people. This Master Yun …
Even the Third Prince wanted to make friends, but he didn’t expect his second brother to have a connection.
After being comforted by her son, Old Madame Qiao’s expression slowed down, but her chest heaved violently, indicating that she was still not breathing well.
“Mother, son’s original intention is good, son did not expect that Li Si will say that in court. “My son did invite Master Yun to find Li Si, but I didn’t expect that Li Si would be so cunning as to escape from Master Yun’s hands. Before my son could ask, he ran to the court himself. If my son knew what he was going to say, he would definitely not let Master Yun find him.”
“Is that so?” Fourth Master Qiao smiled and said, “Does Second Brother know where Master Yun took Li Si away?”
“I don’t know.” Second Master Qiao refused to admit it.
The smile on Fourth Master Qiao’s face deepened. “Li Si was locked up by me. In other words, Second Brother invited Master Yun to save Li Si from my hands.”
“Is that so?” Second Master Qiao was surprised.
Fourth Master Qiao continued, “Then why didn’t Second Brother think about it? Why did I detain Li Si even though I knew he was the one who burned the warehouse?”
“I, I really don’t know,” Second Brother Qiao said with a bitter expression. “If I knew that Li Si’s actions were directed by Fifth Sister, would I do anything to get him out?”
So, it’s not his fault.
What was wrong was that Qiao Linzi really did those things. If she didn’t die, she wouldn’t die.
“You” Old Madam Qiao didn’t get up in a single breath and fell into a chair.
“Old Madam …”
“Mother …”
Mammy Gong and Xue Tao moved the fastest and hurriedly ran to Old Madam Qiao to help her breathe.
Old Master Qiao gasped for breath as she stared at Second Brother Qiao with her eyes filled with hatred.
“Mother, it is indeed my son’s fault. My son is willing to receive punishment.” Second Brother Qiao crawled on the ground with a very respectful attitude.
Punishment?
How?
Qiao Linzi was already dead, and Qiao Lao’er’s life could not be compensated!
“Second brother, what a trick.” Fourth Master Qiao looked at Second Brother Qiao with a faint smile.
“Fourth Master,” said Old aunt Zhang, “the matter has been explained clearly. Second Master really wants to help, but he did something wrong with good intentions.”
Fourth Master Qiao smiled mysteriously.
“Pay for your life! Second brother must pay for Lin Zi’s life!” Old Madame Qiao said relentlessly.
When she thought of her daughter’s head and her unhappy death, Old Madam Qiao felt a heartbreaking pain in her heart.
What she couldn’t accept the most was that the one who killed Lin Zi wasn’t an outsider, it was this slut’s son!
They’re all murderers!
It was the murderer who killed Lin Zi!
They had already calculated that Lin Zi had been framed!
“Madam, the deceased is over. You still have to feel sorry for the change. Second Master has indeed done something wrong this time. I have no objection to how to punish him.”
This was a certainty that Old Madame Qiao would not take Second Master Qiao’s life.
Whether it was true, torture, or death, Old Madame Qiao did not have the ability to do so.
It wasn’t that he didn’t dare, it was because of the law, and also because of the snowy eyes of the Qiao Clan.
Qiao Xi watched the old witch suffer and shook her head gloatingly.
As expected, the old witch had no chance of winning against Concubine Zhang.
I don’t know where she got her luck, but she defeated Old aunt Zhang in the calculation of her offspring to stabilize her position. With her IQ and temper …
Tsk tsk tsk.
Qiao Yunxi shook his head in disdain.
“Are you sure I don’t dare to do anything?” Old Madame Qiao said sinisterly.
“I don’t dare. I’m just talking about matters as they are. If Second Master does something wrong, he will naturally be punished. Madam is in charge of the Qiao Family. How to punish her will naturally be Madam’s decision. No matter how bad it is, there will still be laws.”
There’s no law.
Qiao Xi smiled unkindly.
It was precisely because of the restriction of the law that Old hag could only curse at Qiao Lao’er. He could close it, but he could not beat him, let alone kill him. This was the most painful thing.
Old Madame Qiao took a deep breath and said, “Lock them up. Everyone in the second room is locked up!”
Qiao Xi secretly glanced at Concubine Zhang. The latter did not have a superfluous expression and did not even have the slightest bit of nervousness or worry.
Something’s wrong.
Qiao Yunxi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he could not say.
“Since Madam is fine here, I will take my leave first.” Without any unnecessary words, Concubine Zhang directly went back to the Southern Courtyard. She didn’t care what Old Madam Qiao would do if someone locked down the Southern Courtyard.
“Fourth Brother!” Old Madam Qiao’s entire body trembled. Obviously, her emotions were still out of control.
“Mother, don’t worry, my son will arrange it.”
With Fourth Master Qiao’s words, Old Qiao felt a little relieved.
The conflict between the Qiao Clan’s few rooms became even more intense. Qiao Xi was not affected at all. She followed Gu Jinzhen and Zhong Chenglin on a trip in a good mood. Of course, there was also Jin Baijin who was on call.
“Qiao Qiao, your aunt really …”
Jin Baijin was busy with the [Food World] branch store. He had just returned yesterday. Before he left, he had instructed Jinhong to cooperate with Qiao Xi throughout the journey. As long as he didn’t finish [Food World], everything else would be easy to say.
With his master, Jin Hong naturally wouldn’t dare to neglect him, and that was why he had to deal with the rest of the matter.
Qiao Yunxi nodded. “Although she was responsible for it, she was also helped by us.”
“Qiao Qiao, are you soft-hearted?” Jin Baijin looked at Qiao Xi disapprovingly. “Even without us, Qiao Linzi would have killed herself. Without Qiu Hong and the others, we only accelerated our pace.”
Even if he didn’t take the initiative to harm them, he would still plan ahead.
Besides, if Qiao Linzi was really innocent, what they had arranged would be useless. Therefore, Kim Bai Jin did not feel guilty.
“Qiu Hong, have you arranged it?” Qiao Yunxi asked in a low voice.
Because of their low voices, they moved closer to Kim Bak-kin. The two of them were practically head to head.
Gu Jinzhen’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. Without hesitation, he raised his foot and directly interrupted them. He even pulled Qiao Xi behind them.
“What are you doing!” Qiao Yunxi stuck his head out from behind Gu Jinzhen, raised his gaze, and looked at him discontentedly.
“We came out to take a walk and relax.”
“Alright then, Fatty Jin, come to my place for tea tomorrow. Let’s talk slowly.”
“Alright.”
Good what good!
Gu Jinzhen was dissatisfied again.
Why are you drinking tea at Qiao Qiao’s place?
What the hell are you drinking!
She was angry in her heart and accidentally cursed.
“This is a horse farm?” Qiao Yunxi looked sideways at Gu Jinzhen.
“I’m a horse dealer, so I naturally have a horse farm.” Gu Jinzhen said it as if it was natural.
“Your identity is only a lie to people in Qiao Family. If you have the ability, you will do the same in the capital. If you are not wrapped in a black condom, your identity will be exposed in minutes.”
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Gu Jinzhen said mysteriously.
“Why?” Qiao Yunxi asked reflexively.
“I have been at the border all year round. I can count the number of times I return to the capital with one hand. Furthermore, every time I return, I will go straight to the palace to repay my orders. How many people do you think recognize me?”
Gu Jinzhen’s tone was calm and indifferent. His voice did not even fluctuate, but Qiao Xi felt an inexplicable wave of sadness.
