Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 183
Chapter 183 So Amazing
“Oh, I knew it.” Qiao Xi looked at Jin Baijin with an expression that said, “I’ve seen through your nature long ago.”
“Qiao Qiao, I’m serious with you.” Jin Baijin withdrew his teasing thoughts and said seriously, “The people from the Internal Affairs Department will come to Shu Zhou. Shu Zhou will be in chaos. The conflict between the Qiao Family is probably the biggest.”
Qiao Family was already in chaos. Now that the benefits had come, the struggle between the people from the various rooms became even more obvious. Driven by the benefits, who knew what crazy things the people from those rooms would do?
Qiao Xi comforted, “The Qiao family is not separated now. The old witch is still planning for Fourth Fang. She will not make a fool of herself at this time. After all, the people in those rooms are dependent on the existence of the long room. The old witch wants to compete for the Royal Merchant because of Fourth Fang’s guarantee in the future.”
“Are you sure you want to split up?” Jin Baijin said inexplicably.
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded, “I’m planning. Second Fang is still investigating the cause of Qiao Haoyu’s death. Third Fang has been in contact with the Tong Clan. The cocoon in the Tong Clan’s hand is the best in Jincheng and has been working with our Qiao Clan for many years. This kind of thing is the Tong Clan’s first choice. If the Qiao Clan becomes an’s Emperor Merchant, the Tong Clan will also rise. However …”
Qiao Yunxi laughed evilly.
“However, the Tong Clan is also in a troubled period.”
“What’s wrong with the Tong Clan?” Jin Baijin leaned over.
Qiao Xi squinted her eyes and said, “I only discovered the nature of your gossip now.”
Jin Baijin chuckled.
Qiao Yunxi continued, “After Tong Bin died, the Tong Clan’s huge family fortune was naturally the target of the Tong Clan. The Tong Clan’s Clan Chief wanted the Tong Clan to adopt him, but the Tong Clan had a son from outside and did not choose the clan members. How could the Tong Clan’s Clan Chief watch helplessly as the Tong Clan’s property fell into the hands of others? Naturally, he had to think of a way to make the Tong Clan suffer.”
“So, something’s wrong with the Tong Clan’s cocoon?” Kim Bak-kin was right.
Qiao Yunxi nodded, “That’s why Third Brother Qiao has been so anxious.”
Businesses were all acquaintances, quality insurance, and fair prices. Now that something like this had happened to the Tong family, Qiao Family had to find another source of goods.
Although Qiao Family had backup suppliers, they weren’t as familiar as the Tong Clan. In addition, the Shu brocade was named by the Internal Affairs Department. Several of the Shu brocade merchants in Jincheng had their heads sharpened and wanted this spot. Under such circumstances, the quality of Shu brocade was particularly important. Not to mention the scarcity of goods in the hands of other silkworm merchants, even if they received them, the quality was not guaranteed.
Jin Baijin reminded Qiao Xi, “Fourth Brother Qiao has had a bit of contact with Gu Jin Zhen. I heard Zhong Cheng Lin say that Gu Jin Zhen’s brother is that Gu Jin Zhen?”
“Stepmother.”
“The water is deep,” Jin Baijin said.
Just as the two of them were talking, a maidservant said that the matriarch had invited Qiao Xi and Jin Baijin to the middle courtyard.
The two looked at each other strangely. Qiao Xi was instantly delighted when she arrived at the middle courtyard.
Everyone from the rooms is here.
Qiao Xi and Jin Baijin stood together and greeted Old Madam Qiao.
The matriarch forced a smile on her face. “Young Master Jin came back yesterday, didn’t he?”
Seeing Jin Baijin nod his head, he said, “Young Master Jin and Qiao Qiao have a very good relationship. He only came back yesterday and is here to find Qiao Qiao today.”
Everyone was gloating as they sat down.
Jin Baijin asked in surprise, “Old madam, you know that I have a good relationship with Qiao Qiao and help her deal with the Chamber of Commerce. Is there anything wrong with me coming to look for her?”
“Young Master Jin is interested. I’ve been in the capital for a month, and I haven’t forgotten to help Qiao Qiao deal with the matters of the Chamber of Commerce.”
‘”Old Madame’s words are quite interesting,” Kim Bak-kin said explicitly. “Jin Family is the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. His duty is to help the president deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. If I don’t help Qiao Qiao, who will help Qiao Qiao? Or does Old Madame think that I have broken the rules by helping Qiao Qiao?”
Everyone could tell that Kimberkin’s respect for Old Madame Qiao was only literal.
Old Madame Qiao put on the airs of an elder with a broad smile on her face. “This child, I will be furious in just a few words. With you helping Qiao Qiao in the matters of the Chamber of Commerce, I, as a grandmother, am naturally relieved. I mean, Young Master Jin, even though he is far away in the capital, will not forget to deal with the matters of the Chamber of Commerce.”
“Of course, I have a sense of responsibility.” Jin Baijin said with a smile on his face.
“However,” Old Madame Qiao said, “Qiao Qiao is still a girl who hasn’t left the pavilion. Young Master Jin still handles things well with Qiao Qiao at the Chamber of Commerce and runs to the east courtyard three days and two days. I know, I know you are talking about business, but I don’t know. I thought that Qiao Qiao’s parents are not around, so I didn’t discipline them, so I did something inappropriate.”
“Then according to Old Madame’s wishes, what is inappropriate?” Jin Baijin asked aggressively.
Old Madame Qiao twitched her lips and did not give a definite answer, but the contempt in her eyes was too obvious.
“Qiao Qiao, I already said that the Qiao Clan is a place to eat people. I asked you to move out. Are you okay? Look at your elders, tsk tsk tsk …” Jin Baijin was instantly enraged, “Qiao Qiao, I told you long ago that the Qiao Clan is a place to eat people.”
“Young Master Jin, what do you mean?” Qiao Yi asked unkindly.
“Literally.”
Who’s Kim Pak Kim?
The future head of Jin Family had been spoiled by the elders of his family ever since he was young. How could he have been questioned like this?
Outside, they were all currying favor with him as friends. It was rare for him to curry favor with Qiao Yunxi, yet he was actually disliked by these people?
Haha, that’s not disdain. It’s just envy, jealousy, hatred.
Kimberkin thought to himself.
“Young Master Jin, this is at least Qiao Family. Please pay attention to your words.”
“What happened to the Qiao Family?” Jin Baijin asked, “The Qiao family can throw dirty water on their family members?” I say, do you really think that if you give a farfetched explanation of what you’ve done, everyone outside will believe you? Do you treat everyone as fools, or have you overestimated the position of the Qiao Clan in Jincheng? The Qiao Clan is very powerful, but it is a long room. What does it have to do with the Qiao Clan? “He said.
Young Master Jin, you can eat randomly. You can’t talk nonsense. Our Qiao Family rooms are one. We complement each other and benefit from each other. No one has taken advantage of each other. Second Master Qiao said righteously, “Young Master Jin, you and Qiao Qiao are good friends and you can’t maliciously slander us.” Besides, this is a private matter of our Qiao Family. Young Master Jin, it’s better not to comment on yourself. ”
‘”I don’t comment,” Jin Baijin said with a good temper. “I’m just curious. I can’t discuss things with Qiao Qiao in broad daylight. I have to be kicked out of her courtyard by you guys. Together, it’s inconvenient under the eyes of the Qiao Clan’s elders, but it’s convenient in front of outsiders?”
“Young Master Jin …”
“Fatty, it’s time for you to go back.” Qiao Xi rubbed her forehead and interrupted Jin Baijin.
This fellow was obviously quiet when he first met her. How long had it been since he became a mother?
Qiao Yunxi thought evilly, It was most likely that this kid didn’t have a chance to practice his mouth in Jin Family. No one noticed his talent. Now, there were more chances to fight with her, and his lips were also practiced.
After Jin Baijin left, Old Madame Qiao asked Maid to change the tea. After sipping it carefully twice, she slowly said, “It’s Brother Yu’s turn to call everyone here today.”
So fast?
Qiao Yunxi quietly looked at Second Master Qiao.
The righteous and awe-inspiring interrogation of Jin Baijin had been replaced by sorrow, and Second Master Qiao’s eyes were even red.
“Second Brother, tell me.” The initiative was given to Second Master Qiao.
Second Master Qiao choked twice and gave Concubine Hua a a comforting look before saying, “Mother, when my son had someone thoroughly investigate the big kitchen, he was careful. Not only did he check the amount of rat poison he bought, he also checked the location of the poison. In the end, his son finally found that there was something wrong with the amount of rat poison he put in the woodshed.”
So powerful, how could he find out?
Qiao Yunxi looked at Second Master Qiao exaggeratedly.
Second Master Qiao continued, “When my son discovered something strange, he found the cook who was in charge of placing the rat poison. He forced the cook to admit that she had hidden a few rat poison secretly.”
“Why is she hiding rat poison?” The one who asked this was Concubine Zhang.
Ever since Second Fang lifted the ban, Old aunt Zhang had frequently appeared in front of everyone. Although he was so low-key that he didn’t have any sense of existence, Old Madame Qiao felt very uncomfortable when such a big figure appeared in front of everyone. Her diaphragm deserved it.
Now, Old aunt Zhang’s question had even touched on the crux of the matter.
“Naturally, it was ordered by someone.” Second Master Qiao said exhaustively,
Qiao Yunxi looked at Old Madame Qiao. The latter’s expression was calm, and he must have known the answer long ago.
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes and immediately understood what was going on.
Sure enough, when Second Master Qiao spoke again, the kitchen chef was also brought up.
Because of the previous confession, So the cook did not hesitate at all. Qiao Linzi had died in vain because of Qiao Linzi’s kindness. Second Master Qiao was an indirect murderer. If Second Master Qiao hadn’t been smart enough to find the so-called witnesses, Qiao Linzi wouldn’t have been identified by Li Si in court. Therefore, Second Master Qiao was one of Qiao Linzi’s accomplices.
Thus, the chef put rat poison in the food of the second room. The purpose was to bury the entire second room with Qiao Linzi. Unfortunately, that plate of cherry meat that day was eaten by Qiao Haoyu, and the others were safe and sound.
It was quite interesting. Cherry meat was Qiao Haoyu’s favorite food. It was fat but not greasy. The smelting residue, the sweetness of crystal sugar and the alcohol of soy sauce were perfectly combined together. It was indeed the enjoyment of the tip of his tongue.
Second Master Qiao, the only son of Second Master, was still somewhat fond of Qiao Haoyu. He knew that he liked cherry meat and gave him a plate of it, but after thinking about it carefully, it was interesting.
Qiao Xi spun the embroidered handkerchief in
Since they wanted to poison Second Fang’s people to death, it was naturally safest to put rat poison in the dishes that everyone would eat, especially in the soup. Everyone drank a bowl, and no one could escape. Knowing that cherry meat was Qiao Haoyu’s favorite dish, the one who ate the most was Qiao Haoyu. Moreover, Old aunt Zhang was a vegetarian.
