With that, she turned around and walked out of Qiao Ruoyin's room. She waved her hand and said, ”I'm going to Tranquil Heart Garden to take a look at that lotus seed that is good for you.”
Qiao Ruo Ying, who originally wanted to ask Qiao Liangjin where she was going, immediately stopped herself from greeting him upon hearing her name.
When Qiao Liangjin arrived at the Calm Heart Garden, that Caihe had already woken up. However, she was still lying in Ah Qing's room with an unsightly expression on her face.
Qiao Liangjin sat on the stool that Zi Yan brought over for him. Her hand gently played with an amethyst bracelet as she silently watched Cai He's face.
Caihe was silent as well, as though she didn't know what to say.
Qiao Liangjin coughed and laughed, ”Caihe, why did you save my brother?”
Caihe seemed to have come to a sudden realization as she raised her head and asked, ”Why do you ask this?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. ”The scar on your neck must be because you didn't want to obey, right? ”Why are you helping my brother? Or rather, why aren't you willing to help my brother even after I gave you the aphrodisiac at that time.”
Caihe's pupils immediately dilated. She didn't expect Qiao Liangjin to even know about this. She suddenly became dazed and hurriedly got down from the bed and knelt in front of Qiao Liangjin.
”Say it, I'm really curious.” Qiao Liangjin was waiting for her to tell a story.
After a moment of silence, Cai He replied, ”This servant is a muse of the Great Sima family. The Great Sima told me that as long as I can get close to the young mistress and the eldest young master and think of a way to make the eldest young master disgraced, I will regain my freedom.”
Qiao Liangjin blinked her eyes. She couldn't believe it. Was this story really that simple? Why is there only one person appearing? What kind of person was this Great Sima? She felt that she should pay him a visit.
It was just that the whereabouts of this Cai He was rather troublesome. If he were to release him now, her life and death would be in the hands of the Great Sima. Furthermore, he needed someone to testify against the Great Sima for the Prime Minister's side.
Qiao Liangjin stood up and said emotionlessly, ”You can stay in this courtyard. Don't go to the eldest young master. If you want to live, then obediently stay here.”
Caihe was silent, but he used a heavy kowtow to agree to Qiao Liangjin.
Qiao Liangjin walked out of the door. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was already overcast. Sighing, she thought that it was going to snow again.
Inside the study room, Qiao Zheng was startled to hear that Qiao Liangjin wanted to go with him to visit the Great Sima. He asked, ”Is there something wrong with the Great Sima?”
Qiao Liangjin smiled lightly and shook her head. ”No, it's just that I've always heard of the Great Sima. My daughter only met him once when she was young, and now she wants to pay a visit to the Great Sima.” ”Father, did you agree …?”
Qiao Zheng was unable to change Qiao Liangjin's mind and could only ask the butler to send a letter saying that she would bring her daughter to visit the Residence in three days.
Only then did Qiao Liangjin let Qiao Zheng go as she left the study with a joyful expression.
When she returned to the Flowergold Pavilion, she saw Qiao Ya walking around the entrance with Qiao Yue-er in tow. She counted the days and yet another month had passed. It seemed that Qiao Ya had suffered a lot after all.
Walking over, he acted like a big sister as he smiled and said, ”Why are the two little sisters here? It looks like it's going to snow again. It's very cold. ”
Qiao Yue'er coldly snorted and raised her head to look elsewhere.
On the other hand, Qiao Ya was much more modest. She smiled and said, ”Isn't it the full moon again? I came to ask big sister for a cup of tea. I don't know …”
”You're so good, big sister is very happy. Come in and have tea with big sister.” Qiao Liangjin pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Qiao Xinting was engaged in a snowy battle with Josephine while the silver fox was darting between the two children like a bolt of lightning.
When Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue'er saw that their younger brother was having fun here, their faces became gloomy.
When Qiao Siyuan saw Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er enter, he smiled and waved at them. ”Third sister, fourth sister, you've all come. Let's have a snowball fight together.”
Qiao Yue-er coldly snorted and stood at the door. She pointed at Qiao Xinting and said, ”That lowly servant's daughter, not only does she want to study, she also wants to play with her, Siyuan.”
When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he paused her steps and turned around. She smiled and said, ”What, Yue Er, do you also want to accompany Ya'er in drinking tea?”
Qiao Yue-er's face turned pale. She was so frightened that she turned around and ran out of the restaurant.
Qiao Xinting, who was originally smiling, felt a bit embarrassed when she heard this. She gently patted the snow on her body and said softly, ”Siyuan, you can play. I'll go back now.”
Qiao Liangjin smiled. ”Xinting, why are you so concerned about what others say? Don't live anymore, it's so tiring to live on.”
Qiao Xinting was stunned.
Qiao Ya didn't care about who was in the yard or who wasn't. Her bones started to ache and she wanted to drink that Immortal tea. She pulled Qiao Liangjin's sleeve and gently shook it. ”Big sister, I want to drink tea.”
