C99 (1/2)

Qiao Liangjin sighed, patted her shoulder and comforted her, ”When your mother wakes up, you guys can go back to the villa. Although it will be a bit difficult, at least you won't lose your life, at least you won't lose it.

She bit her lips and did her best not to let herself cry as she shook her head. She was not an ignorant child who had known from a young age that she and her mother were in the prime minister's house. Now that her mother had said that she would help her elder sister, she was afraid, but she did not want to cower.

Trying desperately to hold back the tears that were about to fall, Qiao Xingran said with a trembling voice: ”Big sister … …” ”We're not going back …”

Qiao Zheng heard the conversation between the two sisters and his thick eyebrows slowly knitted together. Since when had his Prime Minister Residence become so bitter? Had he been too engrossed with the matters of the court to care about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Estate?

Qiao Zheng cleared his throat and placed one hand on Qiao Xinting's shoulder while the other on Qiao Liangjin's shoulder and said, ”I will investigate thoroughly.”

Qiao Liangjin swept a glance at Qiao Zheng and said with a cold smile, ”Father, you will never understand the inner courtyard's internal strife. You might as well have some time to play chess with the Great Sima Zhang Zhonghan, drink tea, and chat. If there is a chance, you must also introduce your daughter to the Great Sima, who is renowned throughout the world.”

Qiao Zheng listened attentively to Qiao Liangjin's words and could not understand why the topic was related to the man. Looking at his eldest daughter suspiciously, she felt that she was becoming more and more cunning like a fox.

When Qiao Liangjin was done settling everything, she went out with Qiao Zheng. It was almost noon and Qiao Liangjin's hands were clasped together as she let out a breath of cold air and laughed, ”Father, how can the First Madame sit so well at this time?”

When Qiao Zheng heard Qiao Liangjin's words, he could faintly feel a sense of unhappiness in his heart. He did not know if it was because of Qiao Liangjin's words or because of her chastity.

Qiao Liangjin held onto Qiao Zheng as they walked towards the study. Just as they entered the study, a voice called out from the other side of the door: ”Master.”

Qiao Liangjin opened the door and looked at chastity with a smile.

Zhen Yuxin was preparing to enter, but she saw Qiao Liangjin blocking the door. Her originally calm and collected appearance made her slightly flustered. She then revealed a motherly smile: ”So Jin`er is here too.”

”That's right, First Madame, Third Madame has been poisoned. It's so scary. I don't think she'll be able to take it this time.” Qiao Liangjin said with a fake smile.

Zhen Yuxin's pupils shrank, but her smile became dramatic and she said, ”Jin'er, don't talk nonsense. I told the water lotus to ask, it's fine now.”

Qiao Liangjin was picking at her finger, and she squinted at Zhen Zhen Xin, but she refused to give up her seat to let her into the study.

Qiao Zheng tilted his head to look at chastity outside the door and said: ”Jin'er, why don't you let Yuanxin in?”

Only then did Qiao Liangjin give way slightly, and only then did chastity lift her skirt and step into the study.

Qiao Liangjin closed the door, rubbed her hands and smiled, ”My wife's martial arts should be good. ”In such cold weather, I would have already gone out wearing only this cotton robe. If it was me instead, I would have already been shivering from the cold.”

Zhen Yuxin's footsteps that were headed for Qiao Zheng suddenly became disorderly. She stopped and closed her eyes to take a deep breath before smiling at Qiao Zheng. ”I've been married to Master for so many years, and Master knows that I don't know anything. Jin'er, I really don't know martial arts.”

Qiao Zheng's gaze swept across Zhen Zhen's leg but silently nodded his head.

Qiao Liangjin laughed out loud. ”Haha, I'm just spouting nonsense. Madame, you know that I don't have a mouth for nonsense. I just like spouting nonsense. ”Haha.”

Qiao Zheng unfurled the documents on the table and sat down. He picked up a pen and made as if he wanted to prepare for work, then raised his head to look at the two of them.

Chong Yuanyuan happily turned and left the room, Qiao Liangjin quickly followed her out as well.

Walking behind her, Qiao Lianjin whispered: ”Qianyin, there are a lot of problems. I think I will slowly communicate with you. However, it is not up to you to be the head of the house.”

When her heart heard the last sentence, her shoulders suddenly trembled. She turned around and smiled at Qiao Lianjin, ”I'm too old. If Jin`er likes being the boss, I'm willing to help you. After all, you are the direct daughter of the Prime Minister.”

Qiao Liangjin laughed, waved his hand and said: ”Stop joking, are you happy with the opening, Madam? ”Anyway, I'm pretty happy.”

As she spoke, she paced in front of her chastity.

Joan of Arc's gaze became more and more profound, more and more sinister. The fists under her robes gradually shrank together.

Two days later, Qiao Xin Ting helped Guo Caiting to the entrance of the Flowergold Pavilion. Zi Yan hurriedly went out to help Guo Caiting enter the room.

Qiao Liangjin was dictating the story of < The Eight Heavenly Dragons Sects >, letting Pai Dai write it down on a piece of paper. Seeing Guo Caiting enter, he also went over and lightly reproached her, ”Xinting her:” Xinting, what business do you have with your mother? Just ask A'Qing to come look for me, why are you helping your mother along? ”

Although she spoke reproachfully, her hand subconsciously brushed the hair by Qiao Xinting's ear behind her ear.
