Zhen Yuxin was originally sitting on a chair next to Qiao Zheng when she heard the water lotus's voice. She stood up and sternly rebuked, ”Water lotus, don't speak carelessly.”
After the water was poured into the hall, Fu Dai said with a bit of grievance, ”This servant just heard that the brat at the east gate also disappeared. It seems like Miss He went out the back door one after the other …”
Qiao Liangjin seemed to be watching a good show as she calmly sat on the chair. While picking her fingernails, she asked: ”Who told you that?”
The water lotus paused, rolled its eyes, and replied, ”It was the one at the back door, Old Zhang, who made some changes last night. He said that he saw Fifth Miss go out in the evening yesterday, and that she usually goes to get medicine for her mother …”
Qiao Liangjin clicked her tongue twice and said to Qiao Zheng, ”Father, look, our Prime Minister's Residence is really lacking people. The matter of seizing medicine is something that only the young miss of our Residence would do.”
How could Qiao Zheng not understand the hidden meaning behind Qiao Lianjin's words? His thick eyebrows creased even tighter.
Zhen Yuxin was a woman who had seen much of the world, and lightly smiled as she said, ”Our family is currently managed by Cai Ting.”
Qiao Liangjin couldn't hold back and wanted to applaud, so she clapped and laughed: ”Madam is right, Madame is mighty, and Madame is awesome.”
She didn't know what Qiao Liangjin was trying to do, but she felt that Qiao Liangjin wasn't clear about this. But now, it seemed that Qiao Liangjin didn't care, could it be that everything was under her control?
Zhen Yuan was suspicious as she looked at Qiao Liangjin with doubt.
Qiao Liangjin touched her fat belly and said, ”Everything needs to be settled after a meal. I don't have the habit of thinking things over with hunger. Dad, breakfast!”
With such a reversal, everyone present almost fell to the ground. Qiao Zheng's hand paused for a moment before he suddenly smiled bitterly. He waved his hand and said, ”Let's go to the dining hall. This room … There's always a weird smell. ” As he spoke, his gaze drifted towards the pool of unknown liquid.
Qiao Liangjin, on the other hand, laughed and nodded, saying, ”I also feel that. I'm really curious, if one day our Second Uncle were to ascend the guillotine, wouldn't he be trapped in his crotch?”
Qiao Zheng's expression froze slightly but he too broke into an unbridled smile. ”Let's not talk about it anymore.”
In the dining room, Qiao Liangjin sat at the table and let the spider out. As the spider crawled around the table, the three of them resisted the urge to eat and stared at the furry spider, cursing Qiao Liangjin a few hundred times in their hearts.
Qiao Zheng, on the other hand, was rather curious about the spider. He even used his fingers to touch the spider, causing chastity to stop him with a cry. ”Old master, don't touch it. What if there's poison?”
After breakfast, Qiao Liangjin touched her belly and burped as she looked at the three women in front of him and asked with a smile, ”What, are you guys really going to lose weight?” Why aren't you eating? ”
With a fake smile, Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Liangjin and sneered. ”Big sister, since our fifth sister lost her money, do you still have the mood to eat?”
Qiao Liangjin nodded her head furiously. Why wasn't she in the mood to eat? Eating is so good, only after eating can you have the strength to fight with wisdom and courage!
The water lotus standing behind her chastity almost couldn't stand it anymore. What was going on? She was dragged here before she could finish, she still had a belly full of stories that she hadn't finished making up.
Qiao Liangjin crooked her finger at the water lotus behind her and smiled, ”Aunt Shuihe, you haven't finished talking just now, what happened next?”
Shui He was startled and blurted out, ”Later on, I said that I was going to walk all the way to the other side of the street …” Your servant has long heard that the street is a place where dragons and snakes mix together … I'm afraid that the Fifth Miss has gone over … They will suffer. ”
Qiao Liangjin also shook her head and sighed, ”Ah, so pretty. Could it be that this was destined by the heavens? Is Fifth Sister's future destined to be so tragic? ”
Qiao Liangjin seemed to have not been satisfied with what she had said. She raised her sleeves and wiped the corner of her eyes. Everyone at the table stared at her clumsy performance. She raised her head, pointed at her own nose and asked: ”Could it be that I didn't act that well?”
They all nodded.
Qiao Liangjin shook her head and smiled bitterly, ”No wonder. It seems like I didn't get into an accident. I don't feel the same way at all. Alright, now I have one more question.”
At this point, Qiao Liangjin suddenly stopped talking. She raised her teacup, leisurely sipped her tea, and then used her fingers to lightly stroke the back of the giant spider.
Qiao Zheng waited for a long time but did not hear Qiao Liangjin speak. He then asked, ”Jin'er, what is the problem?”
Qiao Lianjin shot a glance at Qiao Ya and calmly said, ”I heard that Qiao Ya went to look for Xin Ting last night. Why has she disappeared? Is Ya Er still here?”
Hearing this, Qiao Ya slightly shook. Her hand grabbed onto the table to stabilize her body and her face immediately flushed. She anxiously argued: ”Qiao Liangjin, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't throw dirty water on me! ”
Qiao Liangjin lightly tapped the table with her fingers as she lowered her head and gave a slight smile. She was not in a hurry to speak, she was waiting for her cover up.
Qiao Ya saw that Qiao Liangjin did not say much and became even more anxious. She continued to explain, ”I hate her so much and she doesn't like me either. How could she possibly come with me?”
