C90 (2/2)
Qiao Liangjin's hand stopped. She turned around and looked at the madame. There was not a trace of emotion in her eyes. She actually made the madame shudder.
Qiao Liangjin suddenly let out a smile. She flicked her finger and something flew out. That old lady suddenly fell off her chair with a shivering body and fell to the ground.
Qiao Liangjin stood up and walked in front of the madame. Her fingers gently touched her body, but she said in a voice that only the madame could hear, ”You will be fine. The madame is too old, it's time to go back and rest.”
On the other side, Qiao Maoshan stomped his feet as he called for the servant outside to go find a doctor. At the same time, he angrily rebuked Qiao Liangjin who was squatting at the side: ”Look at you, you really pissed your grandmother off.”
Qiao Liangjin ignored Qiao Maoshan who was stomping about. She knew that the thing Qiao Maoshan was most afraid of was that if the old lady died, then he would no longer have any excuse to stay in this Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qiao Liangjin's lips curled up slightly as she stood up and said, ”Someone come and help the madame back. The madame is just old and not in a serious condition. Yun Chu, Wen'er, go serve the old lady and wait for the doctor to come take a look.”
Finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Maoshan with a coquettish smile, tilted her head and asked: ”Second Uncle, aren't you going to accompany the madame? It's time to use you. ”
Qiao Mao Shan was startled and nodded his head. Then, he pulled Lin Fang Li and Qiao Zhi Yong and followed the madame out of the dining room.
Qiao Zheng was about to follow the madame and see how her illness was faring when Qiao Liangjin pulled him back and said, ”Father, let's eat first. After you finish eating, we'll pass through and the madame will recover. It's not like she knows that you've gone.”
Qiao Ruo Ying's impression of the madame had never been very good. She rubbed her stomach at this moment and looked pitifully at Guo Caiting as she said, ”Aunt, it's been a day since we last ate. I'm so hungry.”
Guo Caiting originally wanted to follow along and see the Countess' situation, but after Qiao Liangjin's words, she also stayed in the dining room and quickly called for the maidservants to serve the dishes.
Qiao Liangjin stubbornly patted the seat beside him and called out to Qiao Xinting, ”Xinting, come. Sit down.”
Qiao Xinting timidly lifted her head to look at her mother. Guo Caiting nodded slightly and she sat down.
Qiao Liangjin caught the chicken leg in her bowl and said gently, ”You are growing up and eating more. Those pedantic teachings won't work here. Remember, you are also the young lady of this Qiao family. You are the master.”
Qiao Xinting was stunned as she stared blankly at Qiao Liangjin. She spoke with such seriousness that what she said was the truth. She did not take herself to be a daughter born out of a concubine.
After Qiao Liangjin said this, she turned to Qiao Zheng and raised her chin as she asked, ”Father, is what my daughter said correct?”
Qiao Zheng slightly nodded his head. He had already seen Qiao Xinting's flustered appearance and her cowardly expression. They did not belong to a young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate. Even if he did not love Guo Caiting, his daughter was still his.
Qiao Xinting lowered her head and desperately plucked at the rice grains in her mouth, but her tears fell heavily onto the bowl.
Qiao Liangjin's heart suddenly hurt. She picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them in Qiao Xinting's bowl. She said softly, ”In the future, let me make you more delicious food. You're too thin.”
Thinking of Guo Caiting, she raised her head to look at his, who was standing next to Qiao Zheng, preparing food for him. She smiled and said, ”Aunt, it's not like my dad doesn't know how to eat. Just sit down.
Guo Caiting paused her chopsticks, but Qiao Zheng did not lift his head. Instead, he pointed to a seat beside him, indicating that Guo Caiting should sit down.
After Guo Caiting sat down, Qiao Liangjin happily clapped her hands and said with a smile, ”Look, those noisy people are no longer around. It's quite harmonious here, let's have a good meal.”
A sumptuous dinner was eaten happily without the interference of a noisy person.
It was only when Qiao Liangjin was patting her belly and burping in satisfaction that she saw the chicken soup placed in the middle of the table. She waved at the makeup on the table behind him, and the makeup came over and whispered a few words into her ear.
Qiao Zheng had already eaten his fill. Thinking of how the madame was ill on the bed while he himself was sitting here quietly eating his fill, he felt a little ashamed.
Qiao Liangjin then walked over to Qiao Zheng's side and said with a smile, ”Father, tonight Second Uncle will be very hungry and you will be full. Tonight, you will definitely take care of the Old Madam.”
Qiao Zheng thought about it and could not help but laugh. He lightly tapped Qiao Liangjin's forehead with her knuckles and said: ”You are always resourceful.”
Qiao Liangjin walked to the door and suddenly thought of Guo Caiting and Qiao Xinting. She waved her hand and said, ”Xinting remembers to help your mother greet the madame tomorrow morning, I'll go with you.”
