With a cold snort, Qiao Niannian picked up the wine glass beside him, then stood up, saluted in his direction, and then drank all the wine in the wine glass, and then put it down.

"This cup of wine is to you, to your nurturing grace, to your father. But ask yourself, have you fulfilled your fatherly responsibilities to me since I was a child?

The people in the second and third rooms poisoned me and bullied me in every way, have you ever stopped them? I was dying alone in that small dwelling, and the food was either leftover from your food or rancid, and even the maid Ju'er ignored me, and even spoke ill of me, have you ever taken care of it?

Hehe, when I was a child, I stupidly thought that you didn't have time to take care of me because you couldn't pull away. But the more I grew up, the more I realized that you turned a blind eye and even came with them to torture me. Can this kind of father still be considered a father? ”

After saying this, Qiao Niannian's eyes didn't mean to be moist at all, she had already looked down on these things, and since she was a child, she had already been like ashes.

And that person, but he still talks about filial piety, don't you feel ashamed?

After hearing this, the displeasure just now disappeared a little, and in its place, there was a sense of helplessness. He originally wanted to be kind to Qiao Niannian, but he was helpless to Liu and Yan, under their persecution, and Qiao Niannian himself was useless, so he slowly lost his feelings for her and regarded her as superfluous.

"You think he's your ......"

Liu couldn't stand it anymore, she thought that since the head of the Qiao family could say such things, he would be able to extinguish some of her prestige, but she didn't expect that he would actually soften because of the words she said that were not important at all. So, she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Shut up! Is it your turn to speak! ”

The head of the Qiao family glared at Liu fiercely, and his whole face turned red. If he hadn't stopped it in time, Liu might have to tell the truth.

And Liu was yelled at by him, and he quieted down. The head of the Qiao family had never had such a serious expression towards her, so she was also a little scared.

Seeing that they had such a scene, Qiao Niannian was also a little puzzled, but she only regarded it as a contradiction between the two of them and didn't care.

In this way, the relationship between the two of them is not so strong.

"It's because we're sorry for you. We have taken your request to heart. ”

The head of the Qiao family sighed, said very flatteringly to Qiao Niannian, and then wanted to put the dish into her bowl, but he didn't know which one she liked, so he just hesitated and didn't know which one to clip.

However, there are basically few dishes on this table that Qiao Niannian likes, and seeing his movements, Qiao Niannian also got up and said goodbye to them: "I have said what I should have said, so let's go first." You use it slowly. ”

Although the head of the Qiao family was retained, Qiao Niannian didn't listen, and just walked towards his yard.

And after she left, the Liu family turned to the Qiao family master, "What did you mean just now?" Why stop me from saying those things? ”

"Are you stupid, if she says it, she will still take the Qiao family in her eyes?"

Glancing at the Lin family, the head of the Qiao family whispered to the Liu family, no one knows about this matter except for the two of them, so he doesn't want to talk about that matter at this table.

It makes sense to think about it, and Liu stopped talking. But in her heart, she hated Qiao Niannian very much. This time, she was alone, and she must not have any major defenses, so Liu secretly thought in her heart that she must not be able to turn over in these days.

The Lin clan also retreated, and the remaining three people had no appetite at all, and just walked towards their respective houses. But they didn't realize that this Qiao Mansion had already infiltrated a person.

After entering Qiao's Mansion, Gongzhijin wanted to go directly to Qiao Niannian to have a look, curious about what she would do. Moreover, because Qiao's Mansion is not a good place, Qiao Niannian may be in danger, so Gongzhijin sneaked into the mansion this time to protect her safety.

However, as a prince, he actually wants to sneak into Qiao's Mansion like a thief, if this spreads, he will definitely be laughed at. But Gong Zhijin is not worried at all, first, he is strong in martial arts, if he wants to observe secretly and not be discovered, then no one will be able to see him easily.

And these two, even if they are seen, they will not be passed on, because the power of King Yan is here, and it is impossible for a mere Qiao family to offend him.

Because he had never been to Qiao's mansion, he didn't know the way, and according to his observation and understanding of the mansions of various officials, it was not difficult to find Qiao Niannian's residence.

It's just that the place where he sneaked in happened to be behind Qiao Mingxin's mother, Liu's residence. Gongzhi Jin wanted to go directly to Qiao Niannian's residence, but he overheard something from the room in front of him, which made him change his mind instantly.

"This Qiao Niannian really doesn't know what to do. If she doesn't turn over, I won't be surnamed Liu! ”

In that room, Liu was losing her temper, obviously because the dinner just now made her angry. And the maid on the side, Juan'er, just listened to her complaints, lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Don't just stand aside, figure it out for me."

Liu's face was bruised with anger, she glanced at the teacup on the table, then picked it up high, and then slammed it on the ground.

And this Juan'er was also embarrassed, but when Liu picked up the other teacup and wanted to fall again, she reached out to stop her.

"Madam, think about it, if you are angry, who will laugh at you behind your back?"

Hearing this, Liu Shi felt that his words were reasonable, so he stopped what he was doing, and after Juan'er put the teacup back in its place, she began to think about it carefully.

But within a moment, she came up with a countermeasure. If she can't turn over from now on, then the best way is for someone else to catch her and the adulterer in bed.

"You go to find someone who can listen to me, and if this is done, you will surely give him a rich reward."

A smile appeared on Liu's face instead, but the smile was treacherous and dark. She told Na Juan'er about her method, and Na Juan'er was surprised at first, but after hearing it, she also understood.

"I will definitely keep this matter a secret, and I will do it properly."

Juan'er assured the Liu family that what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there will be. She felt that Liu's method would be foolproof, so she just laughed with her.

But what they don't know is that their plans have been heard.

Gong Zhijin frowned slightly, he didn't expect that as soon as he sneaked in, he heard their plan for Qiao Niannian. It seemed that as he expected, Qiao's Mansion was a dangerous place. Therefore, it was also a necessary decision for him to protect Qiao Niannian.

However, he must not be able to tell Qiao Niannian what he heard, because he sneaked into the mansion, and according to Qiao Niannian's temperament, he would definitely not want him to come here.

But now that he knows Liu's plan, he will definitely not let her succeed.

Successfully arrived at Qiao Niannian's residence, Gongzhijin walked lightly to the back of Qiao Nianyuan. Here, I just happened to be able to see Qiao Niannian's figure and be able to hear her words clearly.

And because his movements were so light, coupled with his already superb concealment ability, even Qiao Niannian, who was very vigilant, didn't notice it at all.

"Yun'er, you go and call Yan Xuan to Qiao's Mansion tomorrow. Then let him spy on the Liu and Yan families to see what tricks they will come up with. ”

"The slave knows."

It's nothing, Qiao Niannian stretched his waist, he hadn't been idle this afternoon, and now he was indeed a little tired.

However, I didn't eat much for dinner, so I'm a little hungry now.

"Go get me some food. If there's nothing to my liking, then tell the kitchen to make some. ”

Touching his stomach, Qiao Niannian said to Yun'er. Anyway, she has to stay in this Qiao Mansion for a long time, and she can't wronged herself.

Hearing this, Yun'er relieved herself. At first, she was afraid that Qiao Niannian would lose her appetite because she was in a bad mood, but she was wrong, Qiao Niannian was not a person who couldn't get along with herself.

"Yes."

With that, Yun'er went out.

And at this moment, in the room, there was only Qiao Niannian alone.

She took the jade pendant from her waist and gently stroked it with her hand, but the expression was sad, as if she was thinking about something that made her sad.

"Actually, I used to want to be free because I didn't feel like there was anyone around me who I cared about. But now, if I think about it, if I really left you, then I am a little reluctant. It's just that you are the prince, and I don't have the ability to be your princess. ”

After saying this, Qiao Niannian's expression became even darker. After a moment of silence, she put it away with some reluctance.

And these scenes, Gongzhijin saw them all.

If he hadn't heard this now, he might have misunderstood her. Obviously, she cares so much about him, but she has a different heart.

My princess, it's up to me to decide, and what the eyes of the world are. I won't let you be wronged, and I won't let anyone bully you, since I've decided, then the position of this princess must be yours.

Gongzhijin thought to himself, but his eyes were full of rare perseverance. Seeing that Qiao Niannian's door was opened again, and after Yun'er came in with a plate of dishes, he didn't stay long, turned around and jumped, and left Qiao's mansion.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Qiao Niannian got up. The main reason is that the environment here makes her very uncomfortable, so she didn't sleep so comfortably on the first night.

While eating breakfast, Qiao Niannian studied the tea set on the table. Because she is very interested in handicrafts, and the carved patterns on this tea set are extremely delicate, she can't help but be interested.

"You go and ask me who made this tea set." When Yun'er came in, Qiao Niannian said to her. And when she was almost done with breakfast, she planned to go to Minglan Garden immediately, but she forgot to mention something yesterday.

Entering Minglan Garden, Qiao Niannian went straight to Qiao Minglan's room. And because it was relatively early, Qiao Minglan hadn't finished washing yet, so Qiao Niannian waited in the yard for some time.

"Sister, did you sleep well yesterday?"

Qiao Minglan went out of the room, she looked much better today than yesterday, and her face seemed to be more ruddy. She walked up to Qiao Niannian and sat down.

The Lin family talked to Qiao Minglan about the conversation at the dinner table yesterday, so she understood that Qiao Niannian came to Qiao's Mansion this time to support her, and Qiao Niannian would definitely not sleep very peacefully in Qiao's Mansion, which she hated.

"It's okay." Qiao Niannian pretended to be very indifferent and said, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup into the teacup, "I forgot to ask you yesterday, because your mother used to be a geisha, so her deed should have been transferred from the original side to the hands of the head of the Qiao family, right?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Minglan was a little confused, she had never asked about these things. Moreover, she has not been in contact with it, but according to common sense, it should have been transferred to that person's hands as Qiao Niannian said.
