Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 64
Chapter 64 A Life-Saving Kindness Stolen
She didn’t know what happened after that. When she woke up, she was in the villa’s own bedroom, surrounded by a group of people by the bed.
“Qiao Qiao!” Gu Jingshu was the first to speak, her eyes filled with worry.
“Mother.” Qiao Xi pretended to get up.
Old Madame Lu stopped her and said, “Lie on the bed and have a good rest.”
“Am I injured?” Qiao Yunxi could not feel the pain in his body, so he asked directly.
“Qiao Qiao, you scared the shit out of Third Sister.” Qiao Jinwen, who had no sense of existence, said with lingering fear, “Fortunately, the people you brought know martial arts. Otherwise …”
After saying that, he put on a sobbing voice.
Qiao Yunxi looked around. As she rolled her eyes, the corners of her eyes hurt a little. In addition, the gauze blocked part of her line of sight, so she could not see it clearly.
She understood that her injury was on her face.
“Good child, have a good rest.” Old Madame Lu patted the back of Qiao Yunxi’s hand.
Qiao Xi was injured. First, she was implicated. Those people were obviously heading for her. Second, it was also because of Gu Jinzhen.
Thinking of this, Old Madame Lu felt both guilty and angry.
She underestimated her grandson’s obsession.
This child has been following his grandfather and uncle in the southern border. He is not familiar with the capital, let alone here in Jincheng. Why did he make such a heavy move?
I’m afraid the two children haven’t even seen each other a few times. What kind of deep hatred is there between them?
Don’t think that she doesn’t know that the one in Qiao Yunxi’s knee was done by that damn brat!
Old Madame Lu was very angry.
That was not a simple lesson, but a direct loss of life!
The grandson she brought out had actually turned out like this. She had to figure this out!
This time, Qiao Xi suffered an unexpected calamity.
Lying alone in bed, Qiao Yunxi and Huang Qi finally figured out what was going on in their conversation.
At that time, Wei Nanshui pulled her back. When the two of them fell to the ground, the black-clothed man’s sword was also sent in front of her. Although Wei Nanshui blocked it, it was a pity that the tip of the sword still pierced through the corner of her right eye. That was why her right eye was bloodshot at that time.
Was this … disfigured?
Qiao Yunxi rubbed his chin without saying a word.
Huang Qi carefully looked at her. “Miss, don’t worry. The doctor came to see her. The wound isn’t big, but the tip of the sword pointed at the corner of her eye. There won’t be any scars left.”
The finger on his chin stretched upwards, and just as the gauze was about to reach the corner of his eye, it was grabbed by Huang Qi in panic. “Miss, don’t move. It will be fine in a few days.”
Astragalus felt guilty when he said these words.
Naturally, Qiao Yunxi could tell, but she didn’t care. What she needed to know now was who had hit her knee, otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed to the front.
Although she had also protected Old Madame Lu, to her, it was absolutely a calamity!
Didn’t you see that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai, who were beside her, were already eager to try and help Old Madame Lu block this sword strike?
The two of them were so sincere. Was it really good for her to interfere in their affairs and steal their credit?
Moreover …
Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with obscure light.
That person did not simply ask her to help Old Madame Lu block that attack, but … to take her life!
“How are Lian Qiao and Nan Shui?”
“Young miss, Lian Qiao and the others are fine. Madam told them to rest for now.”
“That’s good.” Knowing that his people were fine, Qiao Yunxi finally felt relieved.
At the same time, Old Madame Lu and the others were sitting in the manor’s hall.
Although Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu did not express their stance, it was not difficult to see the complaint in their expressions.
Old Madame Lu was also very embarrassed.
Qiao Xi had two accidents, one in the Marquis’ Manor of Zhen Yuan and the other by her side. In other words, they were all related to the Marquis’ Manor.
Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu’s attitudes were good now, at least they could sit down and talk to her.
“The government is still investigating today’s matter. No matter what, Qiao Qiao has brought me here. I won’t say anything else. I will be responsible for Qiao Qiao’s injuries. I will also give you an explanation for this matter. Later, I will send someone to deliver jade and muscle cream. I won’t let Qiao Qiao leave a scar.” Old Madame Lu’s words seemed to be very appropriate, but she was powerless to say them.
No matter how well the arrangements were made afterwards, they could not change the fact that Qiao Xi was injured.
Old Madame Lu sat for a while and prepared to leave.
Qiao Jinwen hurriedly stood up and said, “Uncle, uncle mother, don’t worry, Qiao Qiao will be fine. I will accompany Qiao Qiao tomorrow.”
At the door, Qiao Jinwen walked in front of Old Madame Lu and said, “Old Madame, can the commoner send you back?”
Old Madame Lu raised her eyebrows.
Qiao Jinwen explained, “Such a big matter has happened. The maiden is worried about letting you go back alone.”
“Third Miss Qiao, you have your heart set on it. There are guards from the Marquis’ Manor along the way. Third Miss Qiao, you don’t need to worry about your old body’s comfort. You and Fifth Miss Qiao should go back earlier.”
Qiao Jinwen smiled embarrassedly if she was so distant.
After getting into the carriage, Qiao Jinwen’s bright face suddenly darkened.
Qiao Ningdai, who was sitting at the side, quietly moved out.
Qiao Yunxi was injured. Xue Tao was the first to rush over. Originally, Xue Tao wanted to forcibly bring her and Qiao Ningdai back to Qiao Manor, but after receiving her hint, she gritted her teeth and asked her and Qiao Ningdai to follow Old Madame Lu to send Qiao Yunxi back to the manor.
Old Madame Lu had been guarding Qiao Yunxi’s bedside, and although there was more guilt in it, it was true that Qiao Yunxi had saved her,
Old Madame Lu had originally paid more attention to Qiao Xi, but now, with her grace to save her life …
The handkerchief in Qiao Jinwen’s hand was crushed by her!
It was clearly her credit, but it was actually snatched away by this idiot!
She had already calculated that the clothes she wore today were thick, and the sword would not pierce through much. At that time, as long as she wore torn clothes, she would stand there pitifully. The person who had saved Old Madame Lu’s life was her, Qiao Jinwen!
With the opportunity to get close to Old Madame Lu, her long sleeves and dancing skills, and Old Madame Lu’s “guilt” over her injuries, Fourth Fang and the Duke’s Mansion of Zhen Yuan were able to get on good terms, but this was something that was within his grasp!
“Idiot!” Qiao Jinwen threw her handkerchief at the low table and glared fiercely at Qiao Ningdai, “Such a good opportunity is wasted by you!”
“Third Sister, I, I” Qiao Ningdai stammered as she explained, “I was scared, so, so …”
Qiao Jinwen was unwilling. “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Do you think that you can step on my head as long as you block Old Madame Lu’s sword in front of me? Haha, you’re not as good as Heaven’s Calculation, and neither are you. You didn’t get anything!”
“Third Sister, I, I didn’t even think about it.” She lowered her eyes guiltily.
Qiao Jinwen sneered, “Don’t play tricks on me behind my back. Look at your position clearly. You’re just the daughter of the Shu Fang. Can you compare to me?”
Qiao Ningdai’s eyes turned red and she didn’t dare to argue.
After returning to Qiao Mansion, Qiao Jinwen was invited to the middle courtyard by Mammy Gong as soon as she entered.
Qiao Ningdai stood there for a short while without getting a single glance from Mammy Gong.
After returning to the Southern Courtyard, Bi Cuiqiu had already waited in the Eastern Courtyard.
When he saw his daughter, he immediately pulled her to his side and said, “Are you injured?”
Seeing Qiao Ningdai shake her head, Bi Cuiqiu was still worried. She scanned her up and down carefully before letting go of her.
Mammy brought the millet porridge to Qiao Ningdai.
“Such a big thing happened today, haven’t you eaten a good meal? Mother asked the kitchen to cook some Eight Treasures Congee. You eat some first, warm your stomach and cushion your stomach.” The elders coaxed the children, either eating or playing.
Qiao Ningdai’s eyes were red and she didn’t say anything.
Bi Cuiqiu thought that the child was frightened and hurriedly said, “Mother let Mammy cook the frightening soup. Why don’t I bring it up for you first?”
Qiao Ningdai shook her head but did not say anything.
Bi Cuiqiu winked at Mammy.
Nanny took all the maids out of the room.
“Dai’er, what happened?” Although her daughter was standing in front of her unharmed, Bi Cuiqiu was still worried.
“Mother, when can we split up?”
“What?” Bi Cuiqiu couldn’t react to Qiao Ningdai’s silly words.
Seeing the tears in her daughter’s eyes, Bi Cuiqiu heavily sighed, “Mother knows that I’ve wronged you all these years. It’s Mother’s fault.”
“No, Mother, you’re very good. It’s the people from the Intermediate Court and the Northern Court who bullied others too much!” There was no way a girl could be as beautiful as she should be with her sinister tone.
Bi Cuiqiu didn’t say anything, but Mammy whispered a few words in her ear.
A sharp look flashed through her eyes. Bi Cuiqiu said to her daughter indifferently, “The one in the middle courtyard is not your direct grandmother. Who cares about her? From the beginning to the end, the Qiao Manor only has three daughters in the fourth room, Qiao Xi has to stand aside. You care too much about these illusory things, it will only make you feel uncomfortable.”
“Mother …”
“Mother knows that I’ve wronged you for wanting you to flatter Qiao’s Third Son all these years.”
“Mother, this is what my daughter should do. For the sake of Second Fang, my daughter is willing.”
“You’ve been so considerate since you were young,” Bi Cuiqiu looked at Qiao Ningdai with satisfaction. “Mother is also reluctant to let you down. But you are the daughter of the first wife of the second wife. You can only do these things. Moreover, mother has selfish intentions. Mother’s belly is not good enough to give birth to a younger brother for you. Although the one from the side yard is not enough to ride on my head, Mother knows that if you don’t do something, your father and grandmother will give up on us. In the end, Mother is the one who dragged you down. ”
Bi Cuiqiu’s “grandmother” referred to Second Master Qiao’s biological mother, Concubine Zhang.
“Mother, it’s not your fault. It’s grandmother …” Qiao Ningdai didn’t dare to continue, as she was only halfway through her words, not knowing whether it was because she was afraid or afraid.
Bi Cuiqiu comforted, “Mother is also doing it for your own good. I hope that you can be respected in front of your father and grandmother. Only those who are useful to Second Fang will be left behind. Mother will also pour everything into you and fight for it for you!”
“Mother, even my daughter knows. That’s right …”
Unwilling.
“After enduring for a while longer, Longevity has been obedient for all these years. It’s about time. Whether they were defeated by Fourth Fang or learned to retaliate, we will all reap the benefits of being fishermen.”
“Mother?”
