"Was that an accident?" The idea of glutinous rice balls is simple.

If Tong Bin didn't deliberately target Qiao Lixi, it was Qiao Lixi's bad luck and appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then the cowardly Tong Bin shot at her.

"There is another possibility," Angelica looked at Tang Yuan coldly, "Tong Bin was instructed by someone." ”

After all, she is a woman, and her mind is more careful than that of a man.

"Since the Tong family is dependent on the Qiao family, can it still be instructed by outsiders?" Tang Yuan asked rhetorically.

Angelica said exactly: "Tong Bin is a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, as long as he gives enough benefits, what dare he not do?" Otherwise, how could he escape from Qiao's house after the accident? is clearly a thief with a weak heart, afraid of involving more important people. ”

Originally, there was no evidence, but Tang Yuan frowned, obviously taking it very seriously.

"I'll report this to my grandfather."

As for whether the master wants to continue the investigation or give up, that is a matter for the master to think about.

Glancing at Angelica, Tang Yuanpi said with a smile: "Don't forget the purpose of the master to keep you by Qiao Yixi's side, you have already made a mistake today, and you don't want to have a next time." ”

With a grim expression, Angelica said: "You go back and tell the master, there will definitely be no next time!" ”

After more than ten years of training, it is the time for her to realize her self-worth, and as the first person to be assigned a task in the "Twelve Evil Gods", she can't be ashamed!

Soon it was time for Qiao Yixi and Gu Jingshu to go to Zhaojue Temple.

Gu Jingshu had already asked someone to deliver a message to the Ma family, and made an appointment to go out, and the temple had also arranged it in advance.

The hematoma at the back of Qiao Lixi's head was completely desilted, and Gu Jingshu had been thinking about going to the temple to make a vow, so as soon as Teng Jingyue brought it up, she nodded happily.

"Jojo, are all the things loaded into the carriage?" It was Qiao Xingbang who asked.

Seeing Qiao Yixi nodding, he said again: "Bring more people over, you have to stay in Zhaojue Temple for one night, be careful in everything." ”

"The temple is safe." Qiao Lixi's little hand patted Qiao Xingbang's shoulder, and comforted him with a paralyzed face.

Qiao Xingbang cooperated and made a bitter appearance, "You and your mother are chic outside, leaving your father at home alone, and your father feels uncomfortable, so he was abandoned by your mother and daughter." ”

It was a joke, but when he said it, Qiao Xingbang's mood was not good.

Over the years, he has been away all the year round, and the time to accompany their mother and daughter has been very little, and this year he finally arranged the things in northern Sichuan, thinking that the rest of the time was to accompany his wife and daughter at home and enjoy the warmth, but he didn't want to be thrown away by them.

Qiao Yixi looked at Gu Jingshu pitifully.

Gu Jingshu glared at Qiao Xingbang with disgust, "Why don't you talk about leaving our mother and daughter behind and being chic outside?" ”

Qiao Xingbang clutched his chest and said, "That's different, I'm doing business entertainment, and I'm not messing around outside." ”

"Then what do you mean, I'm here with Qiaoqiao outside today?" Gu Jingshu raised her eyes.

Qiao Yixi turned her face stiffly.

It's okay for her to sprinkle dog food, as long as she doesn't drive.

Qiao Xingbang glanced at Qiao Lixi's small movements, smiled awkwardly, and pressed back the charming thoughts in his heart.

"Why don't you stay in Zhaojue Temple for a while?" Qiao Xingbang proposed.

At the end of the year, Qiao's family has nothing important, as for the matter of setting up accounts in the shop, Qiao Xingbang does not need to inspect the shop this year, and the shopkeepers and stewards in various regions will come to Qiao's house to meet the accounts before the year, so he has nothing to do for the time being.

On the side of Zhongfang, because of Mrs. Qiao's words, the fourth brother and sister are in charge until now, although they will ask Gu Jingshu for ideas on big and small matters, but it is just a formality, so there is basically nothing to do here in their East Courtyard.

During this time, Gu Jingshu and Qiao Lixi's bodies were well recuperated, and it was rare to have the opportunity to go out, and Qiao Xingbang also hoped that the mother and daughter could stay outside for two more days.

Although it is only in Zhaojue Temple, the atmosphere of the temple is good, and besides, Gu Jingshu is going to repay her vows, and it is nothing to stay for two more days.

Gu Jingshu shook her head, "I've made an appointment with Jingyue, I can't let her come back alone, right?" Jojo and I will go see it first, and if it's good, we'll go back another day. ”

Qiao Yixi shook her head on the side.

The temple or something, just go to worship occasionally, there is no need to live permanently.

Qiao Xingbang has been sending Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yixi to the door.

"Shibo." Ma Dongyi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Qiao Xingbang nodded slightly, "I'm going to trouble Brother Yi today." ”

"What are these words, Shibo," Ma Dongyi said exaggeratedly, "Qiaoqiao is my sister-in-law, and I should send her and Aunt Gu." ”

Qiao Xingbang smiled heartily, "Be careful on the road, come back, and drink tea here at Shibo." ”

Ma Dongyi responded with a smile.

After Qiao Lixi and Teng Jingyue saw the salute, they followed Gu Jingshu into their own carriage and followed slowly behind the carriage of the Ma family.

Ma Dongyi rode a horse to the front, and his task today was to escort a group of female dependents to Zhaojue Temple safely, and then pick them up after noon tomorrow.

After sending people into the temple, Ma Dongyi rushed back with the little maid.

Zhaojue Temple is in the southern suburbs of Jincheng, fortunately, Qiao's house is in the south of Jincheng, so an hour's horse journey is not too far.

But the little guy was obviously not worth it for his master, and muttered in a low voice: "Second young master, you don't have to come to this kind of thing in person, just send a few more people." ”

Although the Ma family is not a prince or noble, it has its own nursing home, this kind of thankless task, the second young master really doesn't need to do it himself.

"Do you think Young Master Ben is doing this too much?" Ma Dongyi asked casually.

Xiaowu has been by Ma Dongyi's side since he was a child, knows the master's temperament, and knows that the master is not angry.

So he boldly said: "The little one doesn't have the intelligence of the young master, and I really can't think of why the second young master should personally send Qiao's family room over." ”

Ma Dongyi smiled slightly, "I understand your thoughts, you think I'm wasting my time." ”

"The little ones don't dare!" The little guy was shocked.

Ma Dongyi still looks light, "After all, everyone knows that the fourth room of the Qiao family is the future of the Qiao family." I spent my time and energy on the long house, and it didn't do me any good. When I'm wasting time, my eldest brother is running around, he is already stronger than me, and if I don't do things well and do things that are beneficial, I won't have a chance to compete with my eldest brother. ”

Every time Ma Dongyi said a word, the little girl's heart contracted, and the violent suffocation made him breathless.

Knowing that the master was indeed not angry, the low tone and the words that came out gently pressed him, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Take a look," Ma Dongyi spread his hands and said innocently, "Even when choosing a woman, the eldest brother chose Qiao Jinwen from the fourth room of the Qiao family, and I chose the most unpromising Qiao Lixi." ”

"Second Young Master......" The little guy's forehead was dripping with dense sweat, and he was blown by the autumn wind, and shivered several times.

Ma Dongyi didn't explain anymore, and only whipped a few times with the horsewhip to speed up his progress.

Four-room?

In the eyes of outsiders, Sifang is the hope of the Qiao family's future rise, and it will replace Changfang, maybe if Qiao Xingbang dies, the Qiao family's industry will fall into the hands of Sifang.

But is that really the case?

Qiao Xingbang is indeed not valued by Mrs. Qiao, but so what?

The seal of the Qiao family was in his hand, and it was given to him by Old Man Qiao himself.

Mrs. Qiao was forced to die, and she couldn't help Qiao Xingbang.

No matter how old she is, she is just a woman, she has no rights, and she is not qualified to meddle in these affairs, even if Mrs. Qiao makes a fuss, no one will support her, of course, with the image of Mrs. Qiao, she will not do that kind of thing.

Then there is only a conspiracy.

Qiao Xingbang is in the business field, what conspiracy has he never seen?

If you really want to force him hard, split up directly, what can you have in the fourth room?

Outsiders only saw Mrs. Qiao covering the sky with one hand in Qiao's house, but they forgot that Qiao Xingbang grew up with Old Man Qiao, how could it be so easy to get Old Man Qiao's seal?

It's just that it doesn't threaten Qiao Xingbang's interests for the time being, and it doesn't threaten Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yixi.

Who does Old Madam Qiao want to favor, Qiao Xingbang doesn't care, compared to those indifferent favorites, financial power is the most important, and there is nothing more real than this.

Qiao Xingbang doesn't have a son, but to the extent that he loves Qiao Lixi, if he doesn't get it, most of the properties in his hands will be given to Qiao Lixi as a dowry, what if he doesn't have a son?

Qiao Xingbang is not a pedantic person, who knows what he will do.

Qiao's family?

There's a lot more to be known!

Over there, Qiao Yixi followed Gu Jingshu and Teng Jingyue into Zhaojue Temple, and under the leadership of Xiao Shami, they worshiped the various Bodhisattvas in the temple next to each other.

Although it was fifteen today, the group came early, there were not many pilgrims in the temple, and it was quiet and solemn.

Qiao Lixi followed closely by Gu Jingshu's side and worshiped in her style.

Zhaojue Temple is very large, there are not many Bodhisattvas to worship, shuttle between the various Buddha halls, it took half an hour to finish the business.

The group walked to rest under the most famous "tree bag tablet" of Zhaojue Temple.

"Jojo is tired, right?" Teng Jingyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Qiao Yixi's forehead.

There were no outsiders around, Gu Jingshu tried her fingers on the back of Qiao Yixi's neck, "It's okay, I'm not sweating." ”

Qiao Lixi's body is weak, and if her back is sweaty and not dried in time, it is easy to catch the wind cold, so Gu Jingshu has been paying attention to her condition.

"I see that this kid has a good face, and it won't be so bad this winter." Teng Jingyue carefully examined Qiao Yixi's face and said with relief.

Gu Jingshu also nodded frequently, "I was injured some time ago, and I have been worried, but I didn't expect that not only did the injury in the back of my head recover, but my body also slowly recovered, and I looked more lively than in previous years." ”

"Qiaoqiao's body is well-nourished, are you going to go back to western Sichuan this year?" Teng Jingyue asked inadvertently.

Gu Jingshu nodded again, "I want to go back and see, Qiao Qiao has grown so big, and she only went back for two days when she was three years old, and she kept having a fever, and she came back with a toss, so she never let her go again." ”
