Chapter 108 Provocation and Betrayal
Catching up with Xue Tao's inexplicable gaze, Qiao Lixi said: "There were such rumors before, grandmother ordered the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt to investigate this matter thoroughly, it was a coincidence, just in time for the New Year, Qiao Qiao followed his father and mother to Chaotianmen, because he trusted the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, so the mother never asked." When I came back this time, the rumors outside also subsided, and before Qiao Qiao could thank the fourth uncle and fourth aunt, the matter came out again. Qiao Qiao knew that the fourth uncle and fourth aunt had done their best and didn't want to trouble them anymore, so she wanted to solve it herself. ”
Xue Tao smiled awkwardly.
Not only did the rumors not subside, but they also spread more and more, didn't the dead girl mean that they were incompetent?
Incompetence was fine, but she could clearly hear that the dead girl was saying that they were letting it go.
There are a lot of cats in between.
"Do you solve it yourself? How do you fix it? Your solution is to sue the government! Our Qiao family has never been so ashamed! Old Madam Qiao reprimanded.
Qiao Yixi said funny: "What grandmother means, there is no shame in letting the granddaughter be slandered, and there is no shame in the damage to the granddaughter's reputation, because these are all granddaughters' personal affairs, but the granddaughter sued the government, and it was embarrassing and damaged everyone's face, so it was a shame?" ”
"I've learned to be poor!" Old Madam Qiao said angrily, "Your words and deeds represent the Qiao family, have you ever thought about the consequences when you sue the government?" Did you think that your third sister and fifth sister would be implicated by you! You can't be so selfish, you have to remember that you are a member of the Qiao family! ”
What a heartfelt word!
Qiao Yixi sneered, "Grandmother, granddaughter decided to sue the government for the sake of the face of the Qiao family and the reputation of the third and fifth sisters." It doesn't matter if the granddaughter is slandered, the granddaughter can't let the third sister and the fifth sister be implicated! Last time, the granddaughter was inexplicably slandered, you let the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt solve the matter, this time, the granddaughter became the target of others again, if it was only for the granddaughter, it would be fine, what if the other party was using the granddaughter to achieve the purpose of trampling Qiaofu under his feet? It is true that this time my grandmother can also let the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt solve it in conventional ways, but every time our Qiao family swallows their anger, it will only fuel the arrogance of those people, and they will not take Qiaofu seriously. Because the granddaughter is easy to bully, the other party uses the granddaughter as a raft and blindly targets Qiaofu, which is serious. Therefore, the granddaughter held her breath this time, and she must bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice, not only to correct her name, but also to correct the name of the Qiao family and the third and fifth sisters, but also to let those who secretly peep at the Qiao family and try to be unfavorable to us know that our Qiao family is not so easy to bully! Grandmother, if we don't do anything, or just use the method of diverting public opinion to cool down this matter naturally, the stigma on the granddaughter is not clear, if someone turns over old accounts one day, it will also affect the third sister and the fifth sister, and if the third sister and the fifth sister are already married at that time, the problem will be even more serious. Moreover, if we don't fight back, outsiders still think that our Qiao family is easy to bully, today this slander two sentences, tomorrow's slander two sentences, can our Qiao family be at peace? Over time, these rumors will be said to be true. So after thinking about it repeatedly, the granddaughter decided to sue the government, even if there is no result in the end, it is an attitude, the attitude of our Qiao Mansion! Of course, the granddaughter is also at fault, she didn't discuss it with her grandmother in advance, and it was the granddaughter who didn't think it through, so she asked her grandmother to punish her. ”
Old Madam Qiao's face became more and more ugly.
"Mother, Qiaoqiao is also kind, we misunderstood her." Xue Tao hurriedly gave Old Madam Qiao the stairs.
But Old Madam Qiao didn't want to let Qiao Yixi go, "Misunderstanding? How did I misunderstand her? The complaint has been handed to the government, how can I misunderstand her! ”
The Qiao family is a businessman, and it is also a big family in Jincheng, and the old lady Qiao doesn't understand the business matters, but she has been with the old man Qiao for so long, and now she is sitting in Qiao's mansion, and she also knows that businessmen attach great importance to the contract. There is no such thing as the idea of not dealing with the government unless it is absolutely necessary.
The reason why Mrs. Qiao is so angry is that Qiao Lixi made the decision without authorization, bypassed her, and went directly to the government, which was a public provocation of her status and rights in the Qiao family, and second, as Qiao Lixi said before, the last incident was handled by the fourth and fourth daughter-in-law, and the rumors did subside. Why did she make a comeback this time, she knows better than anyone else, Qiao Yixi is like this, not only indirectly questioning the fourth child and the fourth daughter-in-law, but when the real culprit is found out, the Qiao family will inevitably stage another internal fight, which will become a joke in Jincheng.
Qiao Yixi didn't care how Old Madam Qiao calculated, anyway, the complaint had already been handed in.
"Second brother, you go to the official mansion." Sure enough, Qiao Lixi underestimated the old witch's brazenness, and she was about to withdraw the lawsuit.
Qiao Yixi couldn't help but sneer.
If it was really for the face of the Qiao family, for Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai, the old witch just didn't want her to find out the real murderer.
Who is the real culprit?
You don't have to think about it to know that it's not a person from the fourth room, or Qiao Linzi.
The former is because of Aunt Bai's grudge, and the latter is because of the painting boat.
Whether it is Sifang or Qiao Linzi, they are the people she wants to liquidate.
"Grandmother, I'm afraid not."
"Can't do it? Why not? Old Madam Qiao said funny, "I am the ancestor of the Qiao family and your elder, why can't I withdraw the lawsuit?" ”
It's true that Qiao Lixi is a bitter master, but Qiao Lixi is also a member of the Qiao family, and Mrs. Qiao wants to withdraw the lawsuit, and the government can't find fault with it.
Qiao Yixi said: "Back to my grandmother, when my granddaughter appealed before, I was worried that the people were small and the government didn't pay attention to it, but it was a matter of my granddaughter's reputation, so I used the name of the prince of Zhenyuan. ”
"The name of the prince? When did you get the name of the son? "Obviously, Old Madam Qiao cares about this.
The people around her were also surprised, and Qiao Jinwen even tightened her handkerchief and bit her lip fiercely.
"When the prince left Jincheng, it was given to his granddaughter."
"What should you do if you lose such an important thing? Also, how can the name of the prince be used indiscriminately, and if it is used inappropriately, it will damage the reputation of the prince, or make outsiders think that our Qiao family is doing indecent things in the name of the prince...... You, you...... What about the rest of the posters, hand them over! "Old Madam Qiao clearly wants it.
"Back to his grandmother, the son only gave his granddaughter a name post, saying that he would take it out when he needed it. The granddaughter thinks that such a big matter, and she has found the government again, and it is most appropriate to use the name of the prince, and the granddaughter does not want the government to wronged anyone, but just puts pressure on them and asks them to pay attention to it, don't perfunctory granddaughter because of her young age. This kind of thing also needs evidence, and the granddaughter just wants to return her innocence. ”
"How can you use the name card that the prince gave you?" Qiao Jinwen hated the iron and said with hatred, "Qiao Qiao, why don't you tell your grandmother about such a big thing!" ”
"Third sister, the prince said that the name card is for me, let me keep it, and I don't have to tell others."
"Nonsense, why is grandmother someone else?" Qiao Jinwen was unwilling.
Why did the prince give all the things to the fools!
Does this mean that the prince is not ordinary to fools?
What made her most angry was that Qiao Lixi didn't say anything to anyone, and quietly put away the name post, if it weren't for this incident, no one in the Qiao family would know!
This idiot is actually selfish, and he knows that he is hiding something!
This is something she will never allow.
Qiao Lixi's things are hers, not only the East Courtyard is hers, but the Qiao family's property is also hers, and the name of the prince is hers!
The idiot snatched her things and didn't even say hello!
Is there still her in the eyes?
In the past, fools would obediently offer good things with both hands, but now, they actually know how to hide things!
Qiao Jinwen thinks that this is a provocation to her!
It's a betrayal of her!
"Third sister, Qiao Qiao just did what the prince ordered, after all, he also had a request to give me the name post."
Everyone's faces suddenly turned bad, especially Old Madam Qiao.
What does Shizi mean?
Is it to let the dead girl guard against her?
Or indirectly warn her!
didn't have time to think about it, Old Madam Qiao said to Second Master Qiao: "Since Qiao Qiao handed over the name of the prince, forget it, so as not to alarm the prince." ”
Qiao Lixi used the name of the prince, if they forcibly withdrew the lawsuit, the people in the government noticed the strangeness, and they might be able to get to the bottom of it, and then the movement would be even greater, and maybe it would really be known by the prince.
Now, the prince has an opinion about the Qiao family, or rather, if she asks Qiao Yixi to do what she doesn't want to do, I'm afraid the consequences will be ......
Worry is worry, the anger in Old Madam Qiao's heart is still burning, "Since it was given to you by the prince, then you can keep it well, don't use it indiscriminately, implicate the Qiao family, and the sin will be great." On the Yamen side, since you handed over the complaint and handed over the name of the prince, it is natural that there will be an all-out investigation, so you can wait for the result with peace of mind. ”
"Yes, grandmother." Qiao Yixi answered obediently.
Old Madam Qiao's face couldn't be darker, she held her breath in her heart, and she didn't like anyone, "Okay, now the matter is clear, after all, it is related to Qiao Qiao's reputation, so report to the official." ”
Out of the courtyard, Qiao Yixi walked with Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai as usual.
At the fork in the road, Qiao Jinwen suddenly stopped and looked at her meaninglessly.
Qiao Lixi met Qiao Jinwen's gaze generously.
"Qiao Qiao is really different," dragging the nasal tail note, Qiao Jinwen said with a smile, "Not everything is willing to share with the third sister." ”
"The third sister misunderstood, Qiaoqiao is still the same Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao has not changed, and the weight of the third sister in Qiaoqiao's heart has not changed."
"Oh?"
How can it change?
No one can cross such an important position.
"Qiao Qiao knew that the third sister had a response to Qiao Qiao because of the name of the prince, but the third sister, Qiao Qiao really didn't mean it. The prince repeatedly told him not to be known by others, but Qiaoqiao didn't even tell his father. This matter is in Qiao Qiao's heart, Qiao Qiao is also very uneasy, and now she is even more afraid that because of this matter, the third sister will misunderstand Qiao Qiao. ”
As he spoke, he was red-eyed.
