Dai cried out and fell back into Bai's arms. Bai supported her gently, wanting to help Qiao Liangjin.

That butler retreated a few steps, one hand lightly touched the human skin mask that Qiao Liangjin had torn, and laughed: ”So I heard that Qiao Liangjin is a stupid woman, but now it seems that she is not the same as the rumors.”

Qiao Liangjin had already stopped moving. Looking at her fingers, she smiled and said, ”I really believed in you at first, but then I saw you walking around. You were too frivolous. When did the steward of the House of Prime ever have such a skill?”

In the distance, he heard the sounds of guards rushing over. The fake butler chuckled and leapt onto the wall, saying in an ear-piercing voice, ”We will meet again in the future, Qiao Liangjin. We will definitely meet again in the future.” With that, he disappeared in a flash.

Bai was about to go after him, but Qiao Liangjin stopped him. She said anxiously, ”Come, let's go to the Young Master.”

He rushed all the way to Qiao Ruo Ying's courtyard and knocked on the door. There was no sound coming from the inside. Qiao Ling Jin lifted the corner of her skirt and kicked open the door, jogging into Qiao Ruo Ying's room.

Qiao Ruo Ying no longer had martial arts. Anyone who knew a little about martial arts could pose a threat to her. Qiao Liangjin was worried about her safety. It seemed that she was right.

There was a pot of charcoal inside the room. It was burning silently. Qiao Liangjin opened the door and ordered someone to throw the charcoal out.

This man was quite vicious. He ordered Qiao Ruoyin and Lotus to sleep together, covered them up, and set them on fire. He wanted to use carbon monoxide to poison Qiao Ruoyin to death.

Qiao Liangjin opened the sleeping points of the two and sent Cai He to the room next door. Only then did she sit quietly to the side and wait for Qiao Ruo Ying to wake up.

Qiao Zheng who had long since been woken up by the guards running around the courtyard rushed over to Qiao Ruoyin's room. Seeing his own daughter sitting quietly at the side while Qiao Ruoyin slept on the bed, his heart panicked as he thought back to the time when Jingshu died.

Qiao Liangjin was currently resting with his eyes closed when she heard the commotion at the door. When she opened his eyes, she saw Qiao Zheng leaning against the door, her usual calm demeanor had already disappeared.

She supported Qiao Zheng to sit at the side and said in a small voice, ”Brother was just poisoned. It's fine.”

Qiao Zheng's face paled as he asked, ”Who poisoned him?”

Qiao Liangjin shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

Chastity's voice came from outside the door again, followed by Guo Caiting, Qin Se, and Qiao Maoshan's voices all appeared at the door one by one.

Qiao Liangjin's long eyebrows slowly knitted together. It was the middle of the night and everyone was here. Did they think that it was not big enough? She walked to the door angrily, opened it, and spoke with dissatisfaction in her voice, ”Elders, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone is gathered here, how is it proper to cause such a ruckus?”

Zhen Zhen Xing hurriedly went forward and asked with a compassionate expression, ”What happened? Why are all the guards here? ”

Qiao Linjian's face was expressionless as he asked, ”Madame, you probably know this matter even better than I do.”

Zhen Yuxin did not expect Qiao Liangjin to say something like that. She was startled, but then frowned and asked: ”What happened? Why should I? Jin'er, don't spout nonsense … ”

”If you really are doing this for the sake of the prime minister, then please leave now. Madam, I'll be troubling you.” The more Qiao Liangjin looked at this gentle woman, the more she wanted to vomit.

Chastity felt the deep enmity from Qiao Liangjin's body and took two steps back. Looking inside the door, she discovered that Qiao Zheng had been sitting by the bed the entire time. He did not turn his head and could only turn to leave.

Those who came with her, seeing her leave, had no reason to stay any longer, and left with her.

Guo Caiting was about to turn around and leave when Qiao Liangjin called out to her. She waved his hand and said, ”Third Aunt, you're in charge right now, you have to stay.”

As she walked away, her chastity slightly trembled. She turned back to look at Qiao Liangjin who was waving at her from the door, then looked deeply at Guo Caiting who was entering, before turning around and leaving.

Guo Caiting followed Qiao Liangjin through the door. Only then did she anxiously ask, ”What happened?”

”Someone wanted to kill my brother, and they even prepared to kill me together.” Qiao Liangjin replied in an extremely low voice and turned to look at Qiao Zheng.

Guo Caiting quickly held Qiao Liangjin up and down and looked him up and down, then asked, ”What about you? Are you busy? ”Are you hurt?”

Qiao Liangjin waved her hand and smiled, ”How could something happen to me? Auntie, it's not like you don't know what I'm capable of.”

Guo Caiting patted her chest, frowned and said in a low voice, ”The atmosphere in this house is getting weirder and weirder. Jin'er, how is your brother?”

”Nothing, she should wake up soon. That Cai He, Aunt will bring her back later. Her injuries should be quite heavy, I saw a needle on her neck.” Qiao Liangjin was still talking to Guo Caiting in a low voice.

Qiao Zheng turned his head and cleared his throat as he asked, ”What are you all talking about?”

Qiao Liangjin turned and walked to Qiao Zheng's side. She knelt down and lightly knocked on Qiao Zheng's knee. She smiled and said, ”Father, it is already quite late. Big brother has nothing to do here. You should go back and rest.”
