That night, the things copied from the Hua family were already placed on the table in Qiao Zhongguo's study.
Qiao Zhongguo's eyes passed over a piece of gold and silver and fell directly on an inconspicuous wooden box.
He opened the wooden box with his fingers and saw a thick pile of waste paper inside. The handwriting on it was messy, and some could even be seen as being crumpled into a ball.
Qiao Zhongguo recognized his eldest son's handwriting with just a glance.
He was horrified and extremely happy at the same time, but in the next second it all turned into anger.
"Tell the young master to come and see me!"
Qiao Tianjing hurried over, and when he opened the door, a wooden box fell to his feet with a bang.
"See for yourself!" Qiao Zhongguo was furious.
Qiao Tianjing bent down and picked up a piece of paper at his feet, and his face turned pale instantly.
The above is a piece of indignation he wrote a month ago after seeing the suffering of people's livelihood. The words are fierce and full of passion.
If this piece of paper is taken away by someone with intentions and misinterpreted as dissatisfaction with the Holy Emperor and the imperial court, I will really be speechless.
Seeing that Qiao Tianjing had realized the seriousness of the matter, Qiao Zhongguo suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"Boss, you have always acted calmly, how could you not know that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall?"
"There is no airtight wall in this world. Even in your own home, you have to keep some words in your stomach!"
Qiao Tianjing lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful.
Qiao Zhongguo was still angry when he thought about it. If Jiaojiao hadn't reminded him, his eldest son would have killed himself!
"Tonight, I will go to the ancestral hall, kneel down, and burn these papers one by one with my own hands. By the way, think about it, have you left any serious mistakes at the age of eighteen?"
"Boss, our Qiao Mansion seems to be prospering day by day, but we should be prepared for danger in times of peace—"
The last sentence was serious and thoughtful. It was said by Qiao Zhongguo not only to himself but also to his eldest son.
Qiao Tianjing has deeply realized his mistake.
He picked up the scrap manuscripts on the ground one by one, put them all into the wooden box, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, my son will never do such stupid things again."
After Qiao Tianjing finished speaking, he turned around and went out, walking firmly towards the ancestral hall.
Qiao Zhongguo looked at his eldest son's back, unable to hide the pain in his eyes, but he also knew that people should be severely hurt once before they can learn a lesson!
Before going to bed, Qiao Zhongguo went to visit Mrs. Qiao again.
Mrs. Qiao heard about Qiao Zhongguo's tantrum in the study from her servants, and she couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Why are you so angry with the boss?"
Qiao Jiaojiao had just drank milk, and now she was in high spirits, and her ears suddenly stood up.
Qiao Zhongguo did not hesitate, and seriously analyzed today's events, including the stakes, to Mrs. Qiao. Mrs. Qiao turned pale when she heard this.
"Thank God!" Mrs. Qiao bowed with lingering fear.
【Ah ah ah! Very good! My dad is so reliable, he really found out! 】
[In this way, with my eldest brother’s conduct and clean and honest official conduct, no one who is interested can easily frame him! 】
As soon as Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words, she knew that her eldest son had really overcome a catastrophe ahead of schedule, and she felt relaxed.
"By the way, husband, my sister-in-law said she will come to see me tomorrow, and maybe she will bring Ning'er with her."
At this point, Mrs. Qiao looked a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law has hinted to me many times that she is attracted to our boss, husband, what do you think?"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her hair stood up instantly.
【Mom! No! My sister-in-law is the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry! 】
[The eldest sister-in-law is really good. She and her eldest brother Qin Se were harmonious. In the end, our Qiao family fell into a desperate situation and the eldest brother asked her to return home with her, but she still never left him! 】
[Wow, wow, I really like the big brother and sister-in-law! 】
Qiao Zhongguo had heard Qiao Jiaojiao talk about his daughter-in-law during the day. Now that he knew that his daughter-in-law-to-be was so affectionate and loyal, he was extremely satisfied.
Mrs. Qiao was shocked when she heard the news for the first time.
Minister of Industry?
Isn’t that Mrs. Han’s daughter?
But the reputation of the Han family is not very good, and Mrs. Han always keeps to herself.
But since Jiaojiao thinks so highly of the daughter of the Han family, she must be a good girl!
Qiao Zhongguo was about to find a suitable reason to refuse, but he was afraid of hurting Mrs. Qiao's heart. After all, she was her biological niece.
However, Mrs. Qiao had already spoken: "Well, husband, I think about it and let it go. This relationship is too close after all, and the boss has a very good idea. He still has to nod his head on this matter."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she nodded immediately.
【Yeah! My mother is so reasonable and respectful to her children. She is truly the best mother in the world! 】
This rainbow fart slap made Mrs. Qiao feel comfortable all over.
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts returned to the aunt who was going to visit her tomorrow.
Mrs. Qiao's maiden name was Zuo Hejing, and she was the daughter-in-law of Duke Yan. She had only one older brother, Zuo Heying, who was in his forties.
My grandfather, Duke Yan, is now sixty-three. He followed the late emperor on his expeditions in the east and west. Although he suffered from some ailments, his body was still strong.
Perhaps because he was busy on the battlefield and neglected to discipline his son, his uncle Zuo Heying had been a dandy for many years and was far behind his grandfather.
My aunt is the daughter of the former young minister of Dali Temple, and her status is much inferior to that of the prince's son.
But he couldn't bear the fact that his aunt was so beautiful that his uncle fell in love with her at first sight and refused to marry her.
But this aunt's character is not simple at all.
[Well, my mother is very close to my aunt. After my aunt married into the Duke's palace, my mother also helped her a lot. 】
[My uncle is a generous person, and my aunt suffered a lot because of this, so my mother intervened and comforted her, and she also gave her a lot of beautiful jade jewelry. 】
[But how could my kind-hearted mother know that this aunt is actually a smiling tiger! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, her heart trembled suddenly.
[Actually, my aunt has always been jealous of my mother! In the past, I was jealous that my mother had a good family background and good looks. Later, I was jealous that my mother married well and lived happily after marriage. 】
[So when my mother regarded her aunt as a close friend and complained that the girl had climbed into dad's bed, she even encouraged her to have a cold war with him even though she knew that dad had done nothing wrong. 】
[She also used her uncle as an example and spoke very unfavorably about the man, which made her mother have grudges and doubts in her heart. 】
[Every time she came, she would give her mother eye drops. Seeing that her mother was getting worse and worse, she was gloating about her misfortune. 】
[The most detestable thing is that after my mother passed away in despair, my grandfather couldn't bear the shock and his hair turned gray overnight, and he no longer had the intention to take care of the Duke's mansion. 】
[My aunt was easily instigated and induced by King Jing, and took this opportunity to attack the Qiao family with her uncle! 】
[During my mother’s funeral, my father was so distraught that he didn’t care about him. My aunt and uncle took this opportunity to sneak into my father’s study and hide the false evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason! 】
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao really felt like a thunderbolt hit them on the head!
Who would have thought that the accomplice who killed everyone in their Qiao family was actually the person closest to them!
