Zuo Anning has lived in Qiao Mansion for three days.
She was worried about disturbing Mrs. Qiao too much, so she asked to resign several times, but Mrs. Qiao stopped her every time.
Duke Yan also came to Qiao Mansion early this morning and was chatting with Qiao Zhongguo in the study.
Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on Duke Yan's lap, playing with an educational toy similar to the nine-link ring given to her by the fourth prince.
In fact, she would understand it after seeing it, but she was worried about scaring her family, so she pretended to be dumbfounded and shook the nine-ring ring.
Duke Yan protected Qiao Jiaojiao with a doting look on his face, and said with emotion: "Jiaojiao looks exactly like He Jing when she was a child."
Qiao Zhongguo smiled heartily when he heard this, "It's best to be like the madam, but it's the end of the world for someone as rough as my son-in-law!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she looked up at her father with a look of disapproval.
[Daddy shouldn’t call himself a rough guy, daddy is called a ruffian! And the more mature you are, the more attractive you are! 】
Qiao Zhongguo was very proud to hear Baobaodu praise himself.
That is!
He is actually just being humble!
If he wasn't handsome, his wife wouldn't have taken a fancy to him at first glance at the poetry festival!
After chatting for a while, Duke Yan looked slightly solemn and got down to business.
"Zhongguo, do you think four days are enough?"
It has been four days since Zuo Heying and Liniang reconciled, but the news has been kept secret, so no one in Beijing knows about it.
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she also put down the nine-ring chain in her hand, and her young face showed a serious look.
[Grandfather is talking about the separation of uncle and aunt, right? That depends on whether the tail is swept cleanly. 】
[For the second prince, there is still a difference between Li Xusheng and other subordinates. After the second prince succeeded in usurping the throne, he directly made Li Xusheng the general of the hussars, which is evident in his honor and favor. 】
[So this time Li Xusheng dies, the second prince will definitely not let it go! 】
[Once the news of the separation of his uncle and aunt spreads out, the second prince will definitely guess that Li Xusheng suffered a setback at the hands of Duke Yan. 】
[Grandpa will be careful when the time comes, the hero will definitely find ways to take revenge! 】
Qiao Zhongguo kept nodding his head when he heard this. This is what worries him most now.
Qiao Jiaojiao stretched out her little hand and scratched her chin, then continued thinking:
[There is also the place where my aunt goes. 】
[My grandfather sent a message before that my aunt was sent out of Beijing by his parents, but I really can't trust those parents. 】
[What if the male protagonist follows the clues, digs out the traces of his aunt, and brings her back to the capital...]
"ah!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she suddenly let out a low voice, and her little body immediately sat upright.
Duke Yan was startled by Qiao Jiaojiao's sudden move. He quickly leaned over and asked, "Jiaojiao, dear, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Zhongguo felt itchy in his heart, anxiously waiting for Qiao Jiaojiao's next words!
Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed Yan Guogong's lapel, her eyes widened, and she shouted in her heart:
[My grandfather lived an honest life with no flaws. If the second prince wants to take revenge on his grandfather, there are only two ways: one is to start with his uncle, and the other is to start with cousin An Ning! 】
[My uncle spends all day living and drinking. He has too many flaws. We must pay attention to this! 】
[If we start with cousin An Ning, then the most important things for a boudoir daughter are nothing more than reputation, chastity, and marriage. 】
[If the second prince comes into contact with his aunt and learns the cause and effect, he will definitely use this to discredit cousin An Ning and ruin her life! 】
【no! The second prince must not be allowed to find his aunt. Even her parents will be severely beaten. If this matter is leaked, it will be a disaster for cousin An Ning! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his expression was extremely solemn. He picked up the key points and analyzed a few sentences with Duke Yan, especially the whereabouts of Mrs. Zuo.
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly and her eyes lit up!
[Fortunately, dad is smart and thinks about the same thing as me, so it’s just a reminder to my grandfather! 】
After hearing this, Duke Yan Guo glanced at Qiao Zhongguo and suddenly showed a profound look on his face.
"Loyalty to the country..."
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly excited. He had not heard this tone from his father-in-law for a long, long time.
I still remember that when he was pursuing his wife, looking for opportunities to visit his father-in-law, and taking the opportunity to come to please his wife, his father-in-law looked at him like this and said lightly: "loyal to the country..."
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo immediately stood up and said seriously: "Please give me some advice from my father-in-law!"
Qiao Jiaojiao looked curious.
[Why did Dad react so strongly? 】
She turned to look at Duke Yan, and saw that Duke Yan looked calm and said calmly:
"I've lived a long time. If the city didn't have this, how could we have made it this far?"
"Then the Chen family and his wife were able to kill Li Xusheng's family in order to gain access to the Duke's palace. This shows that they were also vain and ruthless."
"So I never trusted them at all!"
"It's true that Liniang was sent out of Beijing by them, but I had already sent someone to wait halfway, and took advantage of the opportunity to take Liniang to another place."
"After all, she is An Ning's biological mother. I will not kill her, but she will never get in touch with the capital in this life!"
"So let alone the second prince, even the Chen family and his wife will never know where Liniang has gone."
Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked and happy when she heard this!
【Ouch! Grandfather is so mighty! 】
"Not only that......"
Duke Yan smiled lightly.
"The second prince can't pry out any information from the Chen family and his wife, because Chen Qi has resigned and left the capital, and his whereabouts are unknown."
Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard this!
[I'm so numb, I'm just worrying too much, there are so many human beings around me! 】
"On the night when Heying and Liniang reconciled, I lay on the couch and couldn't sleep. I always felt that there were too many mistakes in this matter, and I was afraid that something would happen sooner or later, so I thought about it for a long time and came up with this plan."
"Chen Qi was not willing at first, so I could only be despicable, use my power to pressure him, use the murder case that year to threaten him, and threaten the lives of everyone in the Chen family!"
"Then Chen Qi is also a traitor but not courageous. My attitude is extremely tough. Chen Qi saw that he was powerless and handed in his resignation in despair. I then worked hard on his behalf and approved it on the same day."
"So yesterday, Chen Qi wrapped himself up in gold and silver and left the capital with his good wife and concubine."
"He was slippery. He was afraid that I might do something evil to the couple along the way, so he and his servants split into three groups and left the city, and finally escaped!"
"In this way, although the matter of Heli and the Chen family's departure from Beijing will cause some rumors, in the end they are rootless rumors and will dissipate over time."
Duke Yan spoke eloquently, and after he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Jiaojiao, one big and one small, staring at him.
He raised his lips slightly and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else that's not thoughtful enough?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: [Bull! Grandpa, you are awesome! 】
Qiao Zhongguo looked at Duke Yan meaningfully, and wanted to think more deeply in his heart.
My father-in-law was an old man who followed the late emperor in his wars in the north and south, and his methods of killing were unfathomable.
Although the father-in-law said that he would spare his sister-in-law's life, Chen Qi's family also disappeared.
But in the final analysis, only his father-in-law knows their whereabouts, and only his father-in-law knows whether they are dead or alive...
Qiao Zhongguo, like Duke Yan, had spent half his life in the military. He had some guesses about what Duke Yan would do.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo felt filled with emotion:
I finally know where all these smart people in my family come from!
It turns out that the father-in-law passed it on to the wife, and the wife passed it on to the eldest son and Jiaojiao, leaving him and the second child alone!
