Whatever Mrs. Qiao can think of, Duke Yan will naturally not miss.
"I sent someone to the Li family's ancestral home to inquire. The Li family has never gone back since they came to the capital."
"In the past few months, when I had people carrying portraits around for secret visits, I found some clues by coincidence."
"The Li family used to make a living selling tofu in the local area. There was a tofu stall on the corner of Gutian Street. The stall owner was an old woman with a broken leg. She looked very similar to Li Xusheng's mother."
"After several contacts, the spies learned that the stall owner's husband seemed to have been beaten to death, and his son was also missing."
"However, after staying several times, the spies found that occasionally there would be a man with a rickety back in the stall who would come to help. Although that man looked older, he was actually an expert!"
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she covered her mouth and whispered, "Could this person be Li Xusheng?"
Duke Yan nodded solemnly, "Jing'er, you will never guess who this Li Xusheng is working for now."
Mrs. Qiao's heart was pounding. It turned out that everything was traceable. Jiaojiao had really said it all!
Duke Yan's next words completely confirmed Mrs. Qiao's suspicion.
"Second Prince, that Li Xusheng is now the Second Prince's subordinate, and he is guarding the Second Prince closely, never leaving!"
Duke Yan was pacing back and forth in the room, with a little worry on his face.
"Jing'er, your sister-in-law's family most likely killed the Li family because of this marriage. Li Xusheng not only escaped death, but is now on the rise."
"This person can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate. He is definitely not a kind person and must be guarded against!"
Mrs. Qiao's face turned slightly pale, yes, that Li Xusheng was indeed remarkable.
In Jiaojiao's prophecy, he could even suppress his hatred and use his old feelings to lure his sister-in-law to do things for him, pushing the Qiao family into an abyss of eternal destruction!
This matter has exceeded the limit of her interference in the back house, and it's time to give her husband a warning.
Mrs. Qiao looked solemn. This time, she would not allow any evil person to harm the Qiao family or the Duke's mansion!
After Duke Yan said these words, he secretly looked at his daughter with a searching look on his face.
Jing'er told him that day that she heard some rumors and thought of checking it out.
But in fact, the in-laws covered up this matter very well, and people in the Beijing circle didn't even know the existence of the Li family.
So how did Jing'er know such a secret thing and bother to lead him to investigate?
However, Duke Yan really loved his daughter. Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was not prepared to say anything, he had no intention of pressing her.
He firmly believed in his heart that his daughter had been smart and smart since she was a child. She was also close to and filial to his father, and would never do anything that would harm the government.
The Qiao family had lunch at the Duke's Mansion before leaving.
Back at Qiao's house, Qiao Jiaojiao was taken to play by Qiao Tianjing and Di Yi, so Qiao Zhongguo and his wife closed the door and talked about themselves.
Mrs. Qiao grabbed her husband's big hand and said with a flash of her face:
"Husband, I heard a big thing from my father today!"
Qiao Zhongguo, who was already a little distracted, became slightly serious when he heard this, "What's wrong, madam? But what difficulties did the father-in-law encounter?"
Mrs. Qiao snuggled into Qiao Zhongguo's arms and said softly: "Dad heard some rumors about my sister-in-law, so he sent someone to investigate, and the result was unexpected!"
Qiao Zhongguo immediately remembered what Qiao Jiaojiao had mentioned about Mrs. Zuo's childhood sweetheart, and he immediately sat upright.
His attention has been focused on Beiguo and the second prince these days, but he has almost ignored this matter!
At that moment, Mrs. Qiao recounted what happened to Li Xusheng, and said with a worried look:
"Husband, although it was my sister-in-law's family who attacked his Li family, will he also hate the Duke's Mansion and our Qiao Mansion because of this?"
Qiao Zhongguo's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold, but he gently touched the top of Mrs. Qiao's hair with his hand and said softly:
"Madam, don't worry, everything is taken care of by my husband."
Mrs. Qiao leaned on Qiao Zhongguo's shoulder, hugged Qiao Zhongguo's waist affectionately like a young couple, and nodded lightly.
"With her husband here, Jinger has always felt at ease."
The room was quiet for a while, then Qiao Zhongguo suddenly turned his head and whispered into Mrs. Qiao's cheek with slightly red ears.
"Jiaojiao is four months old. Madam, have you rested well? My husband has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."
Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Since Qiao Jiaojiao was born, she had taken her with her every night. Qiao Zhongguo also cared about her and held it in for four months without speaking.
Thinking of the absurd enthusiasm between the two of them in the past, Mrs. Qiao suddenly felt a little weak all over.
She fell in love for half a day, still as shy as a young girl.
"Let's talk later...at night."
Qiao Zhongguo leaned down, his eyebrows brightened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you let Aunt Liu take Jiaojiao to sleep tonight? My husband has been holding it in for a long time."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she felt a rush of hot air rushing up to her head. She punched him in shame, but her heart was filled with sweetness, and then she lowered her head and acquiesced.
Qiao Zhongguo smiled happily and suddenly hugged Mrs. Qiao, making Mrs. Qiao scream in surprise.
Qiao Tianjing hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and walked to the door. Hearing the commotion in the room, his face suddenly turned red and he quickly stepped away from the scene.
Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled mischievously.
[Hey, brother, are you allergic to romance? Run so fast! 】
[If I can publish a book in the future, I will write a book called "The Fairy Love of Mom and Dad". Wow, wow, it's really sweet and enjoyable! 】
Qiao Tianjing was thin-skinned and walked very fast, but Qiao Jiaojiao kept talking about the train.
[The family tradition is just different. Other people’s young masters have already arranged to have a marriage. Look at my eldest and second brother, they are pure and clean! 】
[Hehe, I’m starting to look forward to my sister-in-law again. I know the Lantern Festival is coming soon! 】
[Brother, you have to live up to your expectations! Marry your sister-in-law home as soon as possible! After more than ten years of eating dog food, things have changed, and it’s your turn to show your affection to your parents! 】
Qiao Tianjing's ears were red, and he didn't know whether it was from the cold or from embarrassment.
That night, Qiao Jiaojiao was indeed arranged to sleep with Grandma Liu.
Before leaving the room, Qiao Jiao's narrow eyes flicked between her father and mother.
【Ah ah ah! My parents are finally having a sweet time, are they so happy? 】
Qiao Zhongguo froze slightly, and Mrs. Qiao's face was so red that she couldn't even lift her head.
This is the first time in their lives that the couple hopes that Qiao Jiaojiao is really just a simple and ignorant little baby.
Qiao Jiaojiao was still excited.
[Oh my God, my stumbling block has finally been removed! Dad and Mom, I am very willing to help you! Don’t even bring me back tonight! 】
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! 】
Aunt Liu was here. She looked happy and quickly took Qiao Jiaojiao out very wisely.
The couple just breathed a sigh of relief when the childish little voice vaguely said again:
[Hey, will you give me another younger brother or sister...]
Qiao family couple: "......"
