Back in the tent, Qiao Zhongguo's mood fluctuated and he could not calm down for a long time.
He thought a lot, seemed to have thought of something, and went to look for Meng Guxue.
After getting the answer, he returned to the account and wrote down everything that happened last night and what Meng Guxue said.
In the afternoon, the left deputy general sent a detailed list of casualties.
"Master Qiao, there are a lot of corpses hidden in Liu's village! It can be seen that those thieves from the North have played a trick of substituting others. This is a premeditated and evil intention!"
Qiao Zhongguo had expected this, and finally wrote a letter to Emperor Yong after taking over the roster.
In addition to carefully explaining the battle last night, the letter also informed the second prince of his injuries in detail. Finally, in addition to a list of casualties, there was also a letter of guilt for resigning.
In the evening, Qiao Liu, Qiao Eleven and five other secret guards dressed up in disguise and hurried to the capital!
————
Five days later, the time came to April 17th.
At this time, it was less than a month before the prince's wedding.
Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on the couch, trying to make Mrs. Qiao happy.
Mrs. Qiao has been worried about her trip to Nanli, but she doesn't want to cause trouble to her two children, so she keeps it in her heart.
Qiao Jiaojiao woke up from a dream in the middle of the night two days ago, only to find that her mother was not around.
She looked up and saw that her mother was looking at the wood carvings her father had made by candlelight.
She vaguely saw tears hanging on her mother's cheeks, and she felt heartbroken.
"Mom, you are so greedy and want to eat hibiscus cake!"
Qiao Jiaojiao pointed to her small mouth with a pitiful look on her face.
Mrs. Qiao was lost in thought. She turned her head when she heard this, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Okay, whatever Jiaojiao wants to eat, Mom will have it cooked for you."
Mrs. Qiao was about to call Nanny Liu, but at this moment, Nanny Liu happily walked in from outside the house and whispered:
"Madam! Your Excellency has received a letter!"
Mrs. Qiao stood up with a "huh", her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Seriously?"
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, "Madam, it's true! The eldest young master has received the letter, and he and the young madam are coming this way right now!"
【Very good! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately slipped off the couch and went straight out to greet him.
【It must be good news! That’s right! 】
As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao walked out of the main courtyard, she saw her elder brother and sister-in-law walking towards this side with a smile!
[Look at the expression on the eldest brother’s face, dad and the second brother must be safe and sound! 】
At this moment, the worry and anxiety in Qiao Jiaojiao's heart finally came to an end.
Qiao Tianjing stepped forward, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, and the family went into the house and sat down together.
Qiao Tianjing took out the letter and saw everyone looking at him eagerly, so he quickly started reading it warmly.
This was another letter written by Qiao Zhongguo. The letter did not reveal any secrets, nor did it mention the dangers and dangers of that night. It just reported that it was safe and talked about some scenery and interesting things along the way.
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, although she knew that Qiao Zhongguo never reported good news but not bad news, the big stone in her heart was finally lifted.
Qiao Tianjing smiled and comforted Mrs. Qiao, but glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao calmly.
When Qiao Jiaojiao received the look, her heart moved involuntarily.
[Oh haha, it seems that dad has sent other news back! received! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao thought like this and raised her eyebrows at Qiao Tianjing.
Snapped--
At this time, Hanya suddenly stood up suddenly for some reason, and even turned over the tea cup at hand because of her haste.
"Xian'er!"
Qiao Tianjing and Mrs. Qiao were startled and hurriedly got up to see her.
Qiao Jiaojiao also hurriedly ran out on her short legs to check.
【Scared me! Are you okay, sister-in-law? 】
"Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Tianjing saw Hanya Xian's face turning pale and asked hurriedly.
Hanya Xian glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao in shock, then quickly looked away, her hand under her sleeve tightly squeezing Qiao Tianjing.
"No...I'm fine."
Mrs. Qiao gave Qiao Tianjing a reproachful look.
"Da Lang, did you fail to take good care of Xian'er?"
"Mom knows, those business matters are so busy and chaotic, Xian'er must be tired."
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded in agreement.
[It seems that the eldest brother still needs to find reliable talents. The business is getting bigger and bigger now. If the eldest sister-in-law takes care of everything, she will definitely be affected. 】
At this time, Hanya Xian's whole body froze again, and she hurriedly denied it after a while.
"No, mother, it's not about business, it's... I was just thinking about something."
Mrs. Qiao held Hanya Xian's hand with some distress, "Just protect Da Lang and let him help you go back to rest. Now that we know that Nan Li and his party are safe and sound, we can feel at ease."
Hanya Xian did not refuse and nodded immediately.
She really had something to say and couldn't wait to tell Qiao Lang!
Before Qiao Tianjing left, he glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao again, and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately blinked intelligently.
[Looks like I have to go to the study to wait for my brother early! 】
Qiao Tianjing helped Hanya Xian walk back. The couple just entered the house and saw no one around. Hanya hurriedly whispered:
"Qiao Lang! I...I seemed to hear my little sister's voice just now! No, my little sister didn't open her mouth at that time! I...I mean, I seemed to hear my little sister's voice. The voice of my heart!"
Hanya Xian finished speaking in one breath, and Qiao Tianjing looked shocked.
"Xian'er, are you serious?"
Hanya Xian nodded with absolute certainty and said excitedly:
"Really! Did you wink at my little sister just now? What was she saying in her heart, 'Get it, get it'!"
Qiao Tianjing opened his mouth slightly.
Xianer really heard it!
But what's going on? Why can Xianer suddenly be heard?
Hanya Xian walked all the way back. At this moment, her mood was almost calm. After the shock, she felt extremely excited.
"Qiao Lang, that's great, now I can hear it too! Does this mean that my little sister recognizes me as my sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head when he heard this.
"Xian'er, I don't understand either, but there is something you said wrong. My little sister has recognized you as my sister-in-law from the very beginning, and my little sister has a very high opinion of you."
"Really?"
Hanya Xian looked happy, and then said expectantly:
"I want to listen to it again tonight when I go to my mother's place for dinner!"
"Don't worry, Qiao Lang. I was too surprised just now and was a little scared. From now on, I promise to remain calm no matter what I hear!"
Qiao Tianjing curled his lips in amusement upon hearing this.
Although I don’t know the reason, as a “little cotton-padded jacket”, the little girl has indeed leaked air everywhere.
"Qiao Lang, didn't you make an appointment with my little sister to discuss something in the study? Go quickly, don't delay!"
Hanya Xian thought of this and hurriedly urged her.
Qiao Tianjing nodded gently, "Xian'er, then you have a good rest. I'll be back when I'm done."
After Qiao Tianjing left, Hanya Xian immediately turned to the bedside and took out a small book.
She turned to the latest page and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was two days late!
It was obviously very accurate in the past...
At this moment, Hanya Xian stood there blankly, her face suddenly turned red and her whole body felt hot.
Actually...it's really like this...
On the other side, when Qiao Tianjing came to the study, Qiao Jiaojiao, a clever little girl, had been waiting here for a long time.
