Princess In Prosperous Age - C113 Play
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 he calmly sat on the chair. While picking his fingernails, he 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 his 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 his 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 his belly and burped as he 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 his head furiously. Why wasn’t he 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 his 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 his 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 he had said. He raised his sleeves and wiped the corner of his 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 his 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. He raised his teacup, leisurely sipped his tea, and then used his 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 his fingers as he lowered his 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?”
When Qiao Zheng heard up to this point, he felt that he could not see clearly what Qiao Liangjin wanted to say and his 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 her and raised his 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 she left the dining hall with her 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. He spread out his 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 she’s up to?”
Qiao Liangjin still had an innocent look as he blinked his eyes. With an innocent smile, he 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 he 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, he saw that there was a thin line of blood on his 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. He 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 he 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, he lifted up the blanket and got up.
Qiao Liangjin held down Qiao Xinting and asked while shaking his 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.
