【etc! etc! Isn’t that aunt in the building opposite? 】
Although it was just a glance, Qiao Jiaojiao firmly believed that she would never admit her mistake. Just now her aunt waved in front of the window!
Hearing this, Qiao Diyi followed Qiao Jiaojiao's gaze and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn't that cousin An Ning?"
A girl wearing a veil was leaning against the second-floor window of the teahouse opposite.
She was wearing a lavender bra and was looking at the No. 1 Scholar who was passing by downstairs, with seriousness and curiosity in her expression.
Qiao Jiaojiao was slightly shocked, it turned out that this was Zuo Anning!
She later went to Duke Yan's mansion several times, but because her aunt and mother had broken up, she had never seen her cousin Zuo Anning.
Now, looking from a distance, one can only see her fair skin and beautiful eyebrows.
[Could it be that my aunt also brought cousin An Ning out to watch the fun? 】
In fact, because Mrs. Zuo was the key figure in the destruction of the Qiao family in the original work, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but care about her.
I'm afraid she'll do something wrong again!
[No, I still feel uneasy! 】
Qiao Diyi saw Qiao Jiaojiao's anxiety and simply raised his hand and called out: "Cousin An Ning!"
Zuo Anning was also fifteen years old, but was born a few months later than Qiao Diyi.
The sound was so loud that it happened to fall in the ears of Tan Hanchi who was walking downstairs.
He instinctively followed Qiao Diyi's gaze and looked up, and saw a beautiful girl covered with a veil by the window on the second floor.
With just one glance, Tan Hanchi realized something was wrong and quickly looked away.
Hearing someone calling him, Zuo Anning looked around curiously. When his eyes touched Qiao Diyi, his face instantly turned red.
She had long known about the falling out between her mother and her aunt, because her cousin Qiao looked down on her and chose a girl from the Han family as his wife.
It doesn't matter at all. The marriage cannot be achieved, after all, the blood relationship is still there.
However, her mother had made a promise to her before that her future husband-in-law must be cousin Qiao. When she heard this, she had thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Later, her hope failed, and she inevitably cried a lot. As a result, her mother stabbed her in front of her aunt again, making her embarrassed to see anyone.
But now that second cousin Qiao takes the initiative to greet her, no matter how shy she is, she still wants to return the greeting.
It is not good for a lady to shout in public, so Zuo Anning stepped back slightly and saluted Qiao Diyi.
Qiao Jiaojiao probably knew Zuo Anning's mood at this time, and she had no objection to this cousin.
After all, what my aunt did had nothing to do with this innocent cousin.
[Cousin Zuo is actually a rare sober person. 】
[After she overheard her uncle and aunt's plans for our Qiao family, she felt scared and angry, and she wanted to tell her grandfather immediately. 】
[Unexpectedly, my aunt discovered Cousin Zuo's intention and locked her in the house. No matter how much her cousin begged, she refused to open the door. It was not until the Qiao family was completely destroyed that she released her cousin. 】
[After my cousin learned what her father and mother had done, she felt extremely sad. Finally, she decided to kill her parents out of righteousness, hoping to expose her father and mother's crimes to her grandfather. 】
[Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, my aunt took advantage of the fact that my grandfather was heartbroken and seriously ill, and actually gave cousin An Ning to the second prince as a concubine! 】
[As a result, the second prince turned around and gave cousin An Ning to the guards around him... Oh, it was so uncomfortable. 】
When Qiao Diyi heard this, he pinched the window frame in front of him and was so angry that he was shaking all over.
frenzied!
My uncle and aunt are absolutely crazy!
[Brother said hello to cousin An Ning, but my aunt didn't even peek her head in. Could it be that she's not in the private room now? 】
[But I just saw my aunt clearly! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was secretly wondering when Qiao Diyi had already raised his voice and shouted: "Cousin An Ning, I'm coming to find you!"
If your aunt is there, wouldn't you know if you go over and take a look?
Qiao Jiaojiao really likes Qiao Diyi's style, clean and neat!
Qiao Diyi did what he said, hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and went downstairs. He passed through the crowd and entered the teahouse opposite. He went upstairs and knocked on the quiet room where Zuo Anning was.
Qiao Diyi and Zuo Anning are cousins, so they don't have to avoid suspicion like outsiders.
Zuo Anning came over and opened the door, her face was hot and she looked very embarrassed.
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately raised her eyes and looked around. There was only Zuo Anning and a maid in the room.
[Hey, my aunt is not here. Could it be that I made a mistake? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao murmured secretly. Seeing Zuo Anning's embarrassed look, she smiled sweetly at her.
[Cousin An Ning is sorry. In fact, her elder brother’s matter really has nothing to do with her. 】
[Moreover, my mother still likes cousin An Ning very much. She was talking about it not long ago, saying that cousin An Ning is so good and she doesn’t know what kind of family she should find to be a good match. 】
Qiao Diyi was also a polite person. Even though he was a cousin, he did not step forward too much. He just said with a smile:
"Cousin An Ning, we haven't seen each other for a long time. My mother was thinking about you some time ago. Come and play at our house when you have time."
Zuo Anning was surprised and pleasantly surprised when she heard this. After all, her mother had said a lot of bad things about her aunt in front of her, and also said that her aunt would not allow her to come to the house.
Qiao Diyi saw Zuo Anning's concerns and smiled heartily.
"Cousin An Ning, the grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with our younger generation. My mother is thinking of you in her heart. If you are worried about your aunt scolding you, come secretly by yourself when the time comes, and I promise to pick you up!"
When Zuo Anning heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and finally the embarrassment on his face disappeared.
"Second cousin, you still haven't changed at all."
Qiao Diyi smiled naively, and then asked curiously: "Cousin An Ning, did you come out alone? There are so many people today, it's too dangerous."
Hearing this, Zuo Anning quickly waved her hand, "No, no, it was my mother who brought me out, but she just saw an old friend and said she was going to reminisce about the past."
"Here, it's the room at the end of the corridor."
【Old friend? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's mind suddenly changed, and she had a bad feeling.
[I’ll go, it won’t be what I think, right? 】
Qiao Diyi and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately thought of being together.
After all, after the family confessed that they could hear the little sister's voice, they communicated with each other. There is a big hidden danger on the aunt's side!
Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi immediately smiled and said: "Although mother and aunt no longer interact, we juniors must not forget the etiquette. We still have to pay our respects no matter what."
"My aunt's friend must be a well-known lady in the capital, right? She should be greeted with greetings."
"Cousin An Ning, please take me to knock on the door."
Zuo Anning naturally hopes that her mother and her aunt can repair their relationship, and according to etiquette, she should also pay a visit to her mother's old friend's wife.
Thinking of this, Zuo Anning nodded slightly, "Second cousin, come with me."
