C113 (2/2)

When Qiao Zheng heard up to this point, he felt that he could not see clearly what Qiao Liangjin wanted to say and her expression turned grave. He looked at his daughter, who had her head lowered and a smile on her face. For some reason, he felt fear towards her behavior.

It was as if the many matters of this family, and even the entire capital, were in her hands. Her outstanding performance made him once think that she wasn't his own daughter, but was instead replaced.

Qiao Liangjin felt Qiao Zheng's gaze on his and raised her head to look at his father with a smile: ”Father, why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me that you think I am not your biological daughter?”

Qiao Zheng was shocked and hurriedly retracted his gaze. After all these years of official customs, he could only reply with a calm smile: ”Jin'er, you are messing around again. How could you not be my daughter when you are so naughty? You are very much like your mother.”

When Qiao Zheng brought up Jingshu, the hand that Chong Yuxin had placed on the table abruptly retracted, allowing Qiao Liangjin to see.

Qiao Liangjin stopped smiling and suddenly said in a serious tone, ”Regardless of who lost Fifth Sister, the mission now is to find her.”

”Of course, then we will go back and wait for news.”

Only after he left the dining hall with his two daughters did Qiao Zheng ask, ”Jin'er, you don't need to play games with father. I will ask you, where is Xin Ting?”

Qiao Liangjin seemed to have long since thought of the question Qiao Zheng would ask him and gave a faint smile. She spread out her hand and said: ”I don't know either.”

Qiao Zheng's face was fierce as he earnestly looked at Qiao Liangjin's clean face with an innocent expression. He said with certainty, ”Jin'er, you must know that this damned girl. Do you know what he's up to?”

Qiao Liangjin still had an innocent look as she blinked her eyes. With an innocent smile, she said, ”Father, who would be able to beat you? You're Xuanyuan Empire's number one Prime Minister!”

Qiao Zheng could not get anything out of Qiao Liangjin. He could only get up and walk out the door leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Qiao Liangjin's gaze gradually grew colder as she watched Qiao Zheng leave. Since Qiao Zheng could not see through her, how could she see through Qiao Zheng?

He stood up and placed the spider in his embrace before returning to the Flower Lover Pavilion.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Yuesheng standing in front of a flower pot with mimosa plants on it. When he heard her push open the door, he hurriedly placed his hands behind him and asked with a smile, ”Is that spider fun?”

Qiao Liangjin did not answer and walked over. Grabbing his left hand, she saw that there was a thin line of blood on her wrist. She raised her eyes to look at him and asked, ”What are you doing?”

”It's nothing, the Spiritual Swirls don't have enough Spiritual Energy. I just want to help her.”

Qiao Liangjin pulled Yu Sheng over to the dressing table and took out a box of ointment, gently smearing it on the wound. Without saying anything, the little fox was a passionate and loyal demon, while the Mimosa was also a grateful demon.

However, her heart still ached for this little fox. Perhaps it was because his appearance was that of a child's. She had always finished teasing him, but more importantly, it was because she was taking care of him.

The little fox, Yuesheng, frowned slightly, as if the ointment had hurt him. He kept trying to retract his hand, but he was firmly held back by Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin applied the ointment and noticed that the blood vein seemed to have gotten thinner. She was a little confused and asked, ”Why does it look like your wound is recovering very quickly?”

Yu Sheng chuckled as he lowered his sleeves. He replied, ”It's all because I train hard every day.”

Qiao Liangjin lightly tapped Yu Sheng's forehead before standing up to look at Qiao Xinting, who was still sleeping.

Before she left, she was worried that Qiao Xinting would wake up and start crying, so she chose her sleeping place.

Qiao Liangjin saw that it was almost noon, so she opened her acupoints.

Not long after, Qiao Xinting slowly opened her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips towards Qiao Liangjin. ”Big sis …”

Qiao Liangjin smiled gently, and patted her arm softly and asked: ”Are you okay? Are you awake? ”

Qiao Xingran nodded and slowly stood up. Looking around, she shyly asked, ”Yesterday … I'm staying at elder sister's place? ”

Qiao Liangjin nodded and turned to look at Yusheng, who was standing beside the Mimosa, and said, ”Hurry up and get Ruo Lan and the others to send us some food.”

Qiao Xinting waved her hand. With a pale face, she said, ”Big sister, don't work hard. I will return to the Ning Xin Garden and let Qing cook for me.” Saying so, she lifted up the blanket and got up.

Qiao Liangjin held down Qiao Xinting and asked while shaking her head: ”Xinting, are you planning on taking this loss? You want me to hurt you again and again? ”

Qiao Xinting's entire body trembled. It was as if she had just remembered what happened last night. Her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.
