In front of outsiders, she has never been targeted like this, even Gu Jingshu has never shouted like this in front of her, a yellow-haired girl, she dares to talk to her like this!

"Qiaoqiao, Aunt Teng knows that your current identity is not ordinary, outsiders call you 'Grandma Gu', you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, and the wife of General Gu, so naturally you don't look down on us merchants, after all, our merchants have lowered your status and made you lose face."

"My mother has always said that Mrs. Ma is the most exquisite, and she didn't think anything before, but now she can be regarded as a teacher. Since Mrs. Ma is self-aware, what is the purpose of uninvited? ”

Since he knew that he couldn't climb high, it would affect her, so why bother?

Teng Jingyue's face became darker and darker, "Qiaoqiao, how can I say it, I am also your mother's friend and your elder, if you talk like this, you are not afraid that outsiders will say that Grandma Gu dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and after joining the noble circle, have you forgotten where you came from?" ”

Gu Jingshu was drinking tea quietly on the side, without any intention of helping.

This made Teng Jingyue a little uncertain, the thoughts of the mother and daughter.

Qiao Lixi smiled, "Don't worry, Mrs. Ma, I naturally remember what my identity is, you also said, now I am Grandma Gu, I just don't know if Mrs. Ma remembers my identity, I think, Mrs. Ma probably forgot, otherwise she wouldn't have committed it." ”

"Qiao Lixi!" Teng Jingyue gritted her teeth, her cruel gaze was like a poisoned dagger, poking directly at Qiao Yixi's body, but it could not cause substantial damage.

Qiao Yixi smiled even brighter, "Mrs. Ma still remembers my name, it's really rare." Therefore, Mrs. Ma doesn't need to say cruel words anymore, between you and me, identity alone is a gap that you can't overcome. Is Mrs. Ma here here to beg for help, or to demonstrate? ”

Teng Jingyue was speechless.

Ask?

Naturally, this attitude should not be begging for someone, but she is indeed here to beg for someone.

It's just that she doesn't want to be inferior in front of Qiao Lixi, so she wants to use her seniority to suppress Qiao Lixi, forcing her to follow her wishes, not to mention the Ma family, and to maintain respect for her in front of outsiders.

can make the daughter-in-law of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion bow her head, who in the Jincheng circle would dare to despise the Ma family?

Demonstrate?

Hehe, where did she get the confidence to demonstrate?

Without waiting for Teng Jingyue to speak, Qiao Yixi continued: "It's just that no matter whether Mrs. Ma is here to ask for someone or to demonstrate, she can't do it today. ”

"Qiao Lixi, you ......"

"Mrs. Ma," Qiao Yixi interrupted Teng Jingyue's words, "You are here today, the reason why my mother is willing to see you is just to take this opportunity to make everyone clear and make a conclusion." You thought we had climbed you up before, so now, you don't need to show favor to us, our two families don't have such a good relationship. Don't say anything, I misunderstood, Mrs. Ma, everyone is not stupid, we all understand your thoughts before the four rooms. My mother thought that you all came out of Chaotianmen, and you used to be handkerchiefs, and you didn't embarrass you, and you have done your best, so you don't have too many requirements for us. When we were in the most difficult time, you didn't have a helping hand, so why should we take care of you after we are developed? Not to mention ......"

Qiao Yixi's eyes sank, and her gaze at Teng Jingyue was also sharp.

"When you framed me, didn't you also care about my life or death?"

"Qiaoqiao, your words are piercing my heart!" Teng Jingyue hurriedly explained, "Your brother Ma really admires you, at the beginning, we also kissed before meeting your mother, but your mother looked down on our Ma family. ”

"He, or is it our Qiao family's fault?" Qiao Lixi asked funny, "If you propose marriage, we must agree, and it is our fault if we don't agree, so Ma Ergongzi and outsiders framed me are a helpless move to ask for it, it is to promote me, it is to admire me, I have to accept it, otherwise I don't know what to do?" ”

"Qiaoqiao, that's not what your brother Ma meant," Teng Jingyue suddenly softened her tone and said in the tone of an elder, "He just showed you that he has a deep affection for you. ”

"Mrs. Ma, you are my mother's friend, you should know that I only have a younger brother and no elder brother, this kind of misunderstanding, let's not say it, after all, I am now Grandma Gu. Mrs. Ma's use of the names of our two families is too casual and will only cause me trouble. I'm not afraid of trouble, but the one in my family is impatient, and he doesn't want me to be wronged, if he is angry with Mrs. Ma, it will be difficult to say. ”

Teng Jingyue bit her cheek and stared at Qiao Yixi hatefully.

Qiao Yixi turned the topic back, "What my mother and I mean, presumably Mrs. Ma is also clear, the matter of the Ma family, we can't do anything, since the second son of Ma dares to do that, presumably the people of the Ma family also know, whether you support it or not, at least you acquiesce, so this result is also acceptable to you, but I don't know, are you satisfied with this result?" ”

In the last sentence, Qiao Lixi asked for Gu Jingshu.

Teng Jingyue was so angry that her face darkened, "Qiaoqiao, being a grandmother Gu is really different, she speaks so neatly." ”

"Goji berries, send-off." Qiao Yixi was too lazy to deal with Teng Jingyue, and directly issued an eviction order.

Gu Jingshu looked at her daughter's appearance as a little adult and shook her head amusedly.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Qiao Lixi came to Gu Jingshu to sell cuteness.

Gu Jingshu nodded her nose and said, "Mother is just sighing, Mother's Qiaoqiao has grown up." ”

"That's, in the future, I'll protect my mother." Qiao Yixi snuggled her head into Gu Jingshu's arm.

Gu Jingshu stroked Qiao Yixi's head at once, "It's the mother who protects you, it's the mother who is useless, and I want you to face this." ”

"Mother, these are what the daughter should face, how can the daughter grow up if she doesn't experience this? Now, you and your father are by your daughter's side, and if your daughter can't take care of her, you will help your daughter, so you can rest assured that your daughter will not be in danger. ”

"Yes, there are always times when I can't reach your father, or when I can't do anything, there are some things that you have to face by yourself as Grandma Gu. All your dad and I can do now is to be around you as much as possible. ”

"Mother, don't think about it so much," compared to Gu Jingshu's anxiety, Qiao Lixi seemed much more relaxed, "We are relaxed when we come back this time, don't worry about those bad things." ”

Gu Jingshu shook her head with a smile, but she didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

Midnight.

Angelica stood in Qiao Lixi's room in a military posture, wearing a night suit, and even the big knife that had been pressed at the bottom of the box for a long time was taken out.

Familiar dress, familiar murderous aura, Angelica has a relaxed smile on his face.

That's what she's supposed to be.

"Let's talk about it." Qiao Yixi said.

Angelica was in good spirits, with his hands behind his back, in the classic posture of reporting to his superiors, and his eyes were scorching, "Miss, there are six groups of people who followed us out of Beijing this time." ”

"Six?" That's a little more than she expected.

"Yes, miss, it is known, in addition to the second prince and the third prince, there are also the military department Shangshu, the prince and the prince, and the remaining two batches, the slaves and maids are still checking."

Qiao Yixi turned the uninked brush in her hand.

"You don't need to check, it's all people in the court after all, and we've arranged it here?"

"Yes, Miss, it's all arranged." The impatience on Angelica's face was almost impossible to hide.

Qiao Lixi slowly straightened up, leaned back in the chair, the brush in her hand was still turning clockwise, using her thumb as a support point, and slowly rotating around her thumb with her index finger from time to time.

……

Qiao Lixi stayed in the house for two days, and on the third day, she finally went out.

Sitting in an inconspicuous carriage, he walked around Jincheng slowly, during which Qiao Yixi got out of the carriage several times and bought a few snacks.

The next day, Qiao Yixi went out again.

Unlike yesterday, this time Qiao Yixi went to Qiao's shop.

This is Qiao Xingbang's own industry after the separation.

During this time, although the people in Qiao's family were in the capital, the industry in Jincheng was still developing in an orderly manner. Now, although Qiao Lixi has removed the title of president of the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce, Changfang's position in the Chamber of Commerce is still stable. During this period, the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce also invited Qiao Xingbang many times, but Qiao Xingbang didn't think much about the position of "president", so he pushed it all up.

Qiao Lixi came back this time and inspected the shop according to the usual practice, which was also a disguised transfer of rights - the owner of the shop was transferred from Qiao Xingbang to Qiao Lixi.

This is deliberate by Qiao Xingbang.

No matter how Marquis Zhenyuan plans in the future, how Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Lixi plan, without a strong financial foundation, it will be difficult to move an inch.

So, Qiao Xingbang simply let go, and handed it all over to Qiao Lixi, and he just sat in the rear.

So when she came back this time, Qiao Yixi deliberately spent a day walking around the shop, getting familiar with a few stewards, and understanding the current situation of each shop.

On the third day, Qiao Lixi went out again.

"Miss, they're all in the back."

"Look at what, afraid that no one will find you?" Astragalus is acute, and grabbed the wolfberry that had just poked out of his head.

Goji glanced at Qiao Yixi's face cautiously before saying, "Miss, the slave is just a little nervous." ”

"It's them who should be nervous, what are you nervous about?" Astragalus looked at the wolfberry with disgust, "At this time, you must be calm, and you can't spoil Miss's business." ”

Goji nodded teachably.

"The rice cake has arrived?" Qiao Lixi said this to Angelica.

Angelica nodded busily, "The rice cake and the fifth child are waiting." ”

Angelica said that the fifth is the fifth person among the twelve evil gods.

These twelve people are all called according to numbers, but after she followed Qiao Yixi, she gave a name, and then she got rid of the number title.

The carriage went towards the suburbs, and at first, two or three carriages followed not far away, and when they went out of the city gate, the closer they got to the suburbs, the more the carriages gradually disappeared.

"Miss?"

Qiao Yixi didn't care, "It's cautious." ”

If you follow too closely and too far, it will appear abrupt and easy to be noticed.
