Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao perked up instantly and hurriedly whispered:
"Brother, I didn't have time to tell you last night that Sheng Xiuran seemed to know some great secret! Even Uncle Zhou is very obsessed with this secret!"
"She came to you early in the morning, maybe she wanted to tell us this secret!"
Qiao Tianjing's face suddenly showed strong interest, "Brother, go and listen!"
Qiao Jiaojiao also wanted to hear it, but now that she was here, no one except the Qiao family's secret guards knew about it, and she didn't intend to appear in front of Rong's mother.
"Brother, go ahead. I asked Uncle Qiao to take me to the window to eavesdrop! After listening, I asked Uncle Qiao to take me back quietly!"
Qiao Tianjing smiled and nodded. After opening the door, he saw Rong's mother squeezing her hands outside with some uneasiness.
"Mama Rong, Miss Xiaolan wants to see me?"
Rong's mother nodded hurriedly, "Master Qiao, it's a bit abrupt, but from what Miss Xiaolan said, it's a very important matter."
Qiao Tianjing said warmly: "It's okay, let's go see him."
As soon as Rong's mother left with Qiao Tianjing, Qiao Bo slipped over from the window with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.
When Qiao Tianjing entered the room, Sheng Xiuran had already covered the bed tightly with the bed curtain.
It's not etiquette to meet in private, but if the matter is urgent, you can only avoid suspicion in this way.
"Master Qiao, thank you for saving my life yesterday. You must have recognized my face."
Sheng Xiuran said straight to the point.
Qiao Tianjing's eyes never fell on the bed. He put his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.
"Miss Sheng, it's been a long time."
【Oh ho! It seems that Sheng Xiuran is really going to have a showdown with her eldest brother! 】
Qiao Tianjing suddenly heard Qiao Jiaojiao's voice coming in quietly from the window.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but quickly suppressed it, and asked politely: "Miss Sheng, listen to my mother, do you have something important to ask me for?"
Sheng Xiuran was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Mr. Qiao, are you not curious at all about how I came out of the palace and how I ended up here?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head.
"It is self-evident that Miss Sheng was able to come here, and she must have endured a lot of suffering."
"I heard that the children in the workhouse are safe and sound, thanks to Miss Sheng for holding back Uncle Zhou. I would like to thank Miss Sheng."
When Sheng Xiuran heard this, she remained silent for a longer time. When she spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs.
"Master Qiao, why do you need to thank me? These children are the ones I want to protect."
Qiao Tianjing was also honest, "Because the disaster in the relief home was caused by my Qiao family. If there are casualties, our Qiao family will naturally be responsible."
"I would like to ask Mr. Qiao, why does His Highness want to deal with your Qiao family?" Sheng Xiuran took over.
Qiao Tianjing tilted his head, "I thought Miss Sheng knew it well."
Sheng Xiuran knew very well that she knew the second prince's wolfish ambitions very well!
The Qiao family are well-known loyal ministers in the court and must support orthodoxy. It seems that the second prince has already taken action!
"Mr. Qiao, if I say that I know a secret that can give the Second Prince a fatal blow, what are you going to give in exchange?"
【Ah ah ah! I'm coming! Let’s get to the point! What shocking news, Sheng Xiuran, please tell me! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's extremely anxious voice echoed in Qiao Tianjing's ears again.
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but be shocked.
Can you give the second prince a fatal blow?
"What does Miss Sheng want?" Qiao Tianjing suppressed his ups and downs and asked in a deep voice.
Sheng Xiuran slowly sat up straight, her expression not changing even though the wound on her shoulder was involved.
Over the past year, she has experienced despair and slowly regained hope. She was once filled with hatred, but now she also has softness in her heart.
She doesn't have much persistence, all she wants is to protect a piece of pure land in her heart!
"Mr. Qiao, I don't have many requests, only two."
"First, I hope that your Qiao family will continue to fund the relief home and send people to guard it to prevent such a disaster from happening to these children again."
"The other thing is that the second prince's people have discovered that I am here. I hope that your Qiao family can protect me for the rest of my life. I also want to watch these children grow up."
"With these two requirements, in exchange for a fatal secret from the second prince, isn't it too much?"
Sheng Xiuran's face was solemn, and the outline of Qiao Tianjing could be vaguely seen through the bed curtain, but his expression could not be clearly seen.
She had nothing left but the secret in exchange.
This was also because she believed in the Qiao family. Otherwise, if it were other thieves, they might tie her up and torture her!
While Sheng Xiuran waited nervously, Qiao Tianjing's voice finally sounded.
"Miss Sheng, even if you don't say anything, our Qiao family will continue to help the relief home. As for the manpower to guard it, I already arranged it yesterday."
"As for what you said about protecting the rest of your life, if the secret is true, as a key witness, we must carefully protect Miss Sheng."
"Miss Sheng, these are the affairs of my Qiao family. Are you sure you won't make any other requests?"
Qiao Tianjing thought of the whole Sheng family being executed.
Qing Guo Gong bought and sold his rank, killed his sons, arbitrarily used the country's foundation, and made profits from it. The Qiao family contributed to it and brought this matter to light, so that Qing Guo Gong received the punishment he deserved. Qiao Tianjing did not think that the Qiao family was at fault. .
But Sheng Xiuran was from the Duke of Qing's palace after all. If Sheng Xiuran could hit hard or even bring down the second prince this time, Qiao Tianjing felt that Sheng Xiuran could ask for more.
Sheng Xiuran didn't know what was going on in Qiao Tianjing's heart. She was slightly stunned and shook her head for a while.
"Mr. Qiao, we are just getting what we need, and besides, I really have nothing else to ask for."
Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will comply with Miss Sheng's request."
Sheng Xiuran believed in the character of the Qiao family, "Young Master Qiao, you mean what you say."
Qiao Tianjing responded solemnly: "It's hard to chase a horse."
Sheng Xiuran felt no hesitation after hearing this. She clenched her hands tightly and revealed a shocking secret!
"Master Qiao, listen carefully, what I want to say is -
The second prince was not born to the Holy One. His biological father was the Northern spy who was executed by the Holy One - Di Zaiying! "
The words fell to the ground with a sonorous sound, and a stone stirred up thousands of waves!
"What!?"
【What! ? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao outside the window tightly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound!
She... what did she hear? Isn’t the second prince a descendant of Emperor Yong?
This, this, this...is this true or false?
Damn, it’s not written in the book!
Qiao Tianjing had never been so shocked before. His eyes widened, and his usually gentle and calm expression was completely broken.
He heard the same shocked voice from his little sister. Obviously, the little sister didn't know about this either!
Qiao Tianjing took a long time to find his voice and asked in a trembling voice:
"You...Miss Sheng, why do you say that? Is there any evidence?"
