Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 67
Chapter 67 The Old Fox’s Evil Taste
Gu Jinzhen’s temples jumped.
However, he also knew that this was a warning from his little uncle. As long as Qiao Xi was injured beside him, he would bear the consequences regardless of whether he did it or not.
Gritting his teeth.
Gu Jinzhen didn’t take it seriously.
There were many ways to kill Qiao Yunxi. Previously, he had been stunned. He had come back from his rebirth and was bent on killing Qiao Yunxi first. That was why he chased after her relentlessly the moment he saw her.
There were many ways to disappear without him personally.
Having thought this through, Gu Jinzhen felt at ease, and his gaze towards Qiao Yunxi was unusually calm.
If something unusual happens, there must be a demon!
Qiao Yunxi is more vigilant.
After chatting for a long time, it was lunchtime. Seeing that Shen Huaihao and Gu Jinzhen had no intention of leaving, Gu Jingshu hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Gu Jingshu’s manor was not remote in the outskirts of Jincheng. Its location was unique. Whether it was vegetables, fruits, or wild animals that were occasionally hunted in the mountains, they were all authentic. They didn’t need to be skilled in cooking to make people covet them.
“The hill in front is also Madam Gu’s?” Shen Huaihao inexplicably asked.
There wasn’t that much attention paid to the villa. They ate at the same table and didn’t split the table.
Therefore, Qiao Xingbang said on behalf of Gu Jingshu, “The few villages are connected together, so I bought the two hills in the middle.”
“Near Jincheng, this is the best location. These two hills are located in the suburbs. It’s not remote. What’s rare is that there are wild animals on the hills.”
His eyes darkened as Shen Huaihao continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
Sensing the change in his emotions, Gu Jinzhen’s eyes were also filled with an obscure storm.
The leg injury was not only his little uncle’s pain, it was also his pain.
Qiao Yunxi happily drank a bowl of black bone chicken soup and prepared to go back to his room to take a nap.
She did not have the habit of taking a nap, but today’s situation was special. For people she did not want to see, it was only natural that her eyes were out of sight.
Unfortunately, Shen Huaihao did not give her such a chance.
“Qiao Qiao” As soon as Shen Huaihao spoke, Qiao Xi tensed up and looked at him with caution.
Shen Huaihao smiled evilly and said, “Uncle Shen’s body is not convenient. Can you take Uncle Shen around?”
Qiao Yunxi didn’t say anything. Qiao Xingbang was nervous. He wanted to say something, but Shen Huaihao continued, “Uncle Shen rarely goes out after being injured. The environment here is good. Uncle Shen wants to go around. Although the requirements are a bit excessive, I hope Qiao Qiao understands. Uncle Shen is a general. He is at war and can’t walk. It’s a huge blow to Uncle Shen.”
To be able to describe the “blow” in such a playful manner was indeed enormous.
Looking at Shen Huaihao’s legs, Qiao Yunxi revealed a pity.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan had devoted himself to the dynasty. Because the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s descendants did not thrive in the frontier all year round, they only had one son and one daughter. After their daughter passed away for many years, their son had also become disabled. This was something that the people of the dynasty all knew.
Because of what Marquis Zhenyuan had done for the dynasty, his prestige among the people was unmatched. However, Marquis Zhenyuan had always kept a low profile and rarely returned to the capital. He did not interfere with the gang-building in the dynasty. He was just a pure official. Therefore, even if his prestige among the people was very high, the little emperor was not afraid that he would be a high-ranking emperor. There must be fear, but the Little Emperor was very rational and didn’t do what he shouldn’t have done.
If Shen Huaihao’s legs were still healthy, Marquis Zhen Yuan would have already given up the position of Marquis to him. Unfortunately, because of his poisoning, his legs were not good. If Marquis Zhen Yuan handed over the Zhen Yuan Guards and the title to Shen Huaihao at this time, the officials in the court would probably fight back.
Originally, this was Marquis Zhen Yuan’s family, and it had nothing to do with these people. But Marquis Zhen Yuan’s guards were the troops guarding the southern border, the dynasty’s sharpest charge force, and the dynasty’s thickest shield, handing it over to a cripple?
If he couldn’t stand up, how could he ride his horse to kill the enemy, how could he arrange his troops?
Under the pretext of protecting the country, the ministers did everything they could to prevent Shen Huaihao from obtaining the talisman of the Marquis of Zhen Yuan. Moreover, please ask the Marquis of Zhen Yuan to hand over the talisman to other generals.
These people really dared to say it!
Zhen Yuan Marquis Guards were a group that Zhen Yuan Marquis had operated for several decades, so why would they cheap these outsiders to make a wedding dress for them?
With such a powerful team, aren’t you afraid that these people will have dissent?
The little emperor also wanted to take the talisman into his hands, but that guard was the personal guard of the duke of Zhen Yuan. The three elders of the duke of Zhen Yuan were loyal ministers, and they were the victories in the hearts of the people. If he did so, not only would the duke of Zhen Yuan’s heart be chilled, but he would also lose his prestige among the people.
It’s not safe to give it to someone else.
I can’t get it myself.
With no other choice, the best choice was for the old duke to continue to guard the position of Marquis Yuan, while the Marquis of Zhen Yuan still held the talisman.
Therefore, even though Shen Huaihao’s battle achievements and prestige were impressive, he was still only a “heir”.
Qiao Xi retracted her slack emotions after thinking too far.
Qiao Xingbang wanted to speak a few times, but he didn’t know how to answer.
Shen Huaihao’s words were pitiful. It was not an excessive request. Even if he wanted to refuse, with their status, he could not refuse.
He couldn’t refuse, but he didn’t delay Qiao Xingbang’s disgust towards Shen Huaihao.
The people of the Marquis’ Mansion of Zhen Yuan were all so self-righteous, thinking that everyone liked to get involved with them.
If he could, he would love to see the guests off immediately.
Qiao Yunxi leaned against his ten-year-old body and looked at Shen Huaihao hesitantly, seemingly moved and hesitant.
His heart moved because of sympathy, and his hesitation was because of Gu Jinzhen.
Shen Huaihao pointed at Gu Jinzhen and said without any pressure, “With me around, he doesn’t dare to act recklessly. Qiao Qiao, take Uncle Shen around. Uncle Shen rarely goes out.”
A gloomy expression appeared on his handsome face.
“Alright.” Qiao Yunxi finally nodded, but he didn’t forget to seek benefits for himself. He pointed at Gu Jinzhen and said to Shen Huaihao, “If he bullies me, you have to stand up for me.”
“That’s for sure.” Shen Huaihao rolled up his sleeves as if he was ready to fight.
Without letting Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu follow him, Shen Huaihao brought his two children out.
Gu Jinzhen’s face darkened as he pushed the wheelchair.
Don’t think that he doesn’t know that little uncle’s evil taste has come.
But what could he do?
Apart from enduring it, he’s also very innocent, okay?
Forsythia Suspensa and Angelica Suspensa naturally had to follow him. Wei Nanshui hung behind him and walked with the servant Shen Huaihao had brought.
Shen Huaihao was in a good mood. He commanded Gu Jinzhen to push the wheelchair and spin around the manor. He had the aura of pointing at the rivers and mountains. Only when Gu Jinzhen’s face darkened and he was about to erupt did the group stop.
Looking at the nearby hill, Shen Huaihao sighed.
For someone who was fighting on the battlefield, not being able to walk was equivalent to taking their lives.
Their duty was to protect the country and the people.
When they couldn’t do this anymore, was there a need for their blood to exist?
The atmosphere immediately became gloomy.
“Qiao Qiao, Uncle Shen will be free in the future. Can you come over and take a look?” Shen Huaihao asked carefully.
“Sure.” Qiao Yunxi answered straightforwardly.
She was also a martial arts practitioner. She was much more passionate than ordinary people. She knew that as a soldier, not being able to kill enemies on the battlefield was equivalent to taking their lives. Shen Huaihao could find something to do and divert his energy.
“Qiao Qiao, this is your mother’s manor. You are also half a master. You are also familiar with this place. In the future, Uncle Shen will bring this kid to hunt. Will you accompany him?”
It’s all for this!
Qiao Yunxi narrowed his eyes and sized Shen Huaihao up.
Shen Huaihao smiled and greeted her gaze.
Gu Jinzhen, who had been completely ignored, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Originally, he thought that Little Uncle was protecting him, so he helped him speak up yesterday to avoid being punished by his grandfather. He suggested that he bring some things over personally today. Apart from the box of jade and muscular cream, there were also two carriages of things. They were more and better than last time.
Haha, it turns out that he dug a hole here for him.
He knew that he would never see this poisonous woman again, but he had already arranged his future hunting schedule.
Little uncle …
No wonder he was called a “fox”. There was no sympathy for him at all!
After coming out of the manor and sitting on the carriage, Shen Huaihao felt the gaze poking at him. He closed his eyes and said, “Uncle is also doing it for your own good. No matter how bad your temper is, there will be trouble in the future.”
“What kind of trouble will happen?” What happened, what didn’t happen, he knew that all he had to do was to plan.
Of course, he wasn’t blindly conceited.
When he was reborn, he had an advantage that no one else had, but that didn’t mean that he had a firm chance of winning.
“Look, your mood is very unstable right now.” Shen Huaihao said without fear of death.
“I’m very stable, hehe, very stable!”
Hearing his nephew’s childish words, Shen Huaihao closed his eyes and smiled.
That girl was indeed at odds with her nephew. When she mentioned that girl, her nephew was not only childish, but also impulsive.
However, this kind of nephew is very interesting, what should we do?
His fingers twirled, and the smile on Shen Huaihao’s face gradually faded.
We need to find out where Gu Jinzhen’s obsession with Qiao Qiao came from as soon as possible.
He didn’t want his nephew to be trapped by the inner demons!
Qiao Manor.
Old Madame Qiao sat uneasily in the flower hall and looked out of the door from time to time. The nanny beside her had already been sent to the entrance of the middle courtyard, but now she could not even see her figure.
Bi Cuiqiu and Qiao Ningdai, who were accompanying Old Madam Qiao, initially comforted her, but seeing Old Madam Qiao’s impatient expression, the two of them gradually became silent. Their expressions were even more expectant than Old Madam Qiao’s.
“I’m back, I’m back, Old Madame, Third Miss is back.” Mammy Gong ran into the flower hall with quick steps.
Old Madame Qiao’s eyes lit up as if she was going to stand up. As she swept her gaze to the side, Bi Cuiqiu and her daughter sat firmly on the main seat.
“Grandmother.” Before she could enter, Qiao Jinwen’s proud voice rang out.
Qiao Ningdai curled her lips in disdain as emotions flashed across her face.
“San’er, hurry up and come over,” Old Madame Qiao waved to Qiao Jinwen and waited for her to sit down beside her. “How is it?”
“Go back to grandmother. Father and mother are still outside. The one who delivered the goods is the servant from the Marquis Mansion of Zhen Yuan. His status should not be low. He might be served by Lord Marquis. Father wants to invite him in for a seat, but because he is still counting things, we have to wait.” Qiao Jinwen had a smug look on her face.
