"Why does grandmother have an opinion about the long house and want to be angry with Qiaoqiao?" Qiao Lixi asked very carefully, looking lonely.

Xue Tao said with a stiff face: "Because of the bad rumors outside, Qiao Qiao also knows that you moved to Zhuangzi because the East Courtyard was to be renovated, and your mother moved here to take care of you conveniently." But people outside don't know, they will misunderstand, thinking that there is a conflict between our rooms, so your father and mother brought you to move over. ”

"Then just make it clear, those people won't be misunderstood, and grandmother won't be angry." Qiao Yixi said assumedly.

Xue Tao's face was a little tense, "Yes, as long as you make it clear." ”

"Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao lived with her mother and father at the fourth uncle's inn, so that grandmother would not be angry, and people outside would not guess? However, is there any difference between living in the fourth uncle's inn and living in Zhuangzi? We moved out anyway. Qiao Lixi asked very sincerely.

Xue Tao's face became even more ugly.

If it was just Qiao Lixi, she would naturally fool her like this, and by the way, she would separate her and Gu Jingshu's mother-daughter relationship.

But now Gu Jingshu is sitting opposite, how dare she instigate Qiao Yixi like this?

had to deliberately scratch Qiao Lixi's nose in disgust, and educated: "Qiaoqiao, your fifth sister said that, the intention was good, but she didn't want people outside to misunderstand. The fourth aunt thinks that it is more convenient for you to live in Zhuangzi, after all, this is your mother's wedding Zhuangzi. ”

"But grandmother ......" Qiao Lixi buried her head, very hesitant.

Xue Tao said stiffly: "Don't worry, your grandmother is a sensible elder, and she won't be angry with you because of this, as for those rumors outside, the fourth aunt will help you explain it clearly." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Four." Because of the uncertainty in her heart, Qiao Lixi looked sad and sad.

Yes, this is the Qiao Lixi she is familiar with.

Timid, cowardly, and unassertive.

"Okay, Qiaoqiao, don't think about those messes, take the exam well, get a good ranking, the fourth aunt will be rewarded."

Qiao Lixi's eyes lit up, and she raised her nostrils in a daze, "Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao will not let you down." ”

"You," Xue Tao shook her head with a smile, "Your father specially got you a study room so that you can study with peace of mind, and when your small courtyard is renovated, your third sister will go to sit." ”

"That's for sure, Daddy said, after the East Courtyard is renovated, it will definitely be the most powerful courtyard in Jincheng!"

Hiding the jealousy in his eyes, the smile on Xue Tao's face became even brighter.

Gu Jingshu looked at Xue Tao's coy posture coldly.

In the past, she was very pleased.

She is happier than anyone else to have someone who loves Jojo so much.

But since she saw the treatment behind Qiao Qiao's back, she had a new understanding of the shamelessness of Qiao's family, and she didn't interrupt Qiao Qiao's words, she just watched Xue Tao act hard.

"Fourth aunt, are you here today, is there something wrong?" Finally got to the point.

"Naturally, it's a good thing, you ask your mother." Xue Tao sold Guanzi.

Qiao Yixi looked at Gu Jingshu.

Gu Jingshu said: "Your fourth aunt is here to send you a post." ”

"What post?"

"It was sent by Mrs. Zhenyuanhou, and it will be Laba soon, and the Zhenyuanhou Mansion will give porridge to the land temple as usual, and Mrs. Zhenyuanhou invites you to join you."

"Me?" Qiao Yixi pointed to her nose and asked in surprise.

Don't talk about her, even Xue Tao and Old Madam Qiao didn't understand, how could Mrs. Zhenyuan Marquis look at Qiao Yixi differently?

In the eyes of Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Jinwen is the most well-behaved, sensible, and knowledgeable child.

According to Mrs. Qiao's original intention, she wanted to detain this post.

But the status of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is noble, and the Qiao family is just a businessman, how dare he disobey the Yang of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion?

With all kinds of reluctance, Xue Tao was allowed to run.

And Xue Tao is also selfish.

Although I don't know how Qiao Lixi got into the eyes of Mrs. Lu, but it can be regarded as a way to get close to the nobleman, Qiao Lixi has always been close to her, obedient to her, as long as she fools a few words, this idiot will give her the opportunity with both hands. In addition, this idiot has always admired the old lady very much, and the most envious thing is that Qiao Jinwen can get the favor of the old lady, as long as she uses the old lady's favor as bait, she can't hold a child?

Gu Jingshu was also surprised, but more worried.

"Mrs. Lu must have called you because of what happened last time, Qiaoqiao, you don't have a psychological burden, you have always been a well-behaved and obedient child, as long as you obediently follow Mrs. Lu and do things quickly, don't worry about the rest."

Qiao Lixi nodded without confidence.

"Qiaoqiao, if you go back to Qiao's Mansion in the next few days, if there is anything you don't understand, ask your grandmother more, and follow your grandmother to learn more rules." Xue Tao was still a little worried, afraid that Qiao Lixi would offend the nobles.

"Jojo's rules are well learned, so you don't have to be so troublesome." Gu Jingshu directly refused.

sent Xue Tao away, and the mother and daughter were finally able to talk alone.

"Qiaoqiao......" For a while, Gu Jingshu didn't know how to speak.

"Mother, I know what you're going to say," Qiao Yixi peeled an orange and handed it to Gu Jingshu, "In the past, it was Qiao Qiao who was ignorant, and he kept everything in his heart. In addition, I am young and have poor discernment, so I am easily affected by other people's words, and over time, I ignore the people around me who should really care about me and become a pawn of others. ”

"Qiaoqiao......" Gu Jingshu choked up and couldn't speak.

She has always wanted to have a good talk with Qiaoqiao, but she is afraid that she will not grasp the balance well, which will make the mother-daughter relationship that is not strong even weaker.

During this time, she has been cautious, not only to beware of the discord in other rooms, but also to think about how to get close to her daughter, there will be no progress for a while, she is more anxious than anyone else.

It's not that she doesn't want to directly expose the ugliness of those rooms, but she is afraid that her daughter's dependence on Sifang and Xue Tao is too strong, but her words have the opposite effect.

Because of something in her heart, she couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, and her spirit was much worse.

Now, at first glance, when she heard Qiao Lixi's heartwarming words, Gu Jingshu, who had mixed feelings, suddenly turned red.

"Mother, the previous mistakes, Qiao Qiao will not make them again, Qiao Qiao will work with his mother and father to protect our long house and not let anyone bully him!"

"Jojo!"

Qiao Xingbang's voice came from the door, interrupting the conversation between mother and daughter.

Gu Jingshu glanced at him angrily.

Really pick the time, didn't you see that she and Qiaoqiao were in contact?

Qiao Xingbang, who was immersed in emotions, also had mixed feelings and mixed feelings.

How much grievance do you have to suffer to say such a thing?

How much grievance do you have to suffer to grow up to this point at such a young age?

"Qiao Qiao, you're not wrong, it's your father and mother who are not doing well," Qiao Xingbang hugged Qiao Yixi in his arms.

Qiao Lixi moved twice uncomfortably.

"Daddy thought that as long as you do business well and develop the Qiao family well, you will be given the protection of your mother and daughter, but it turns out that some people have ambitions."

"I can't blame you," Gu Jingshu said softly, "You are the eldest son, the burden on your shoulders is heavy, the lord's expectations for you are so high, you are in that position, and you can't help yourself." It's not good for me, if my body is angry, Qiao Qiao won't always follow Sifang, and his temperament won't be ...... Speaking of which, it is also our blessing, to have such a sensible child, many things, without us to teach, she has figured it out herself, and now, she has to comfort us in turn. This kind of growth comes at a price, and if we do well enough, how can our children bear this at a young age. Xingbang, there are things that need to be changed. ”

Gu Jingshu said vaguely, but Qiao Xingbang understood what she meant, and smiled slightly, "The affairs in the backyard are all your business, and I support you in whatever you do." I am the eldest son of the Qiao family, and it is true that I am responsible for the prosperity of the Qiao family, but I am also a husband and a father, and I am responsible for my wife and daughter. In the final analysis, the long house is my foundation, and in the future, we will have to divide it sooner or later. For my mother and brother, I think I have a clear conscience, I will not shirk my responsibility, I will bear my responsibility, I will carry it on my shoulders, but I have no obligation. They have their families, so I can't be the eldest brother, and I have to support their wives and daughters. ”

It's rare to have such a good atmosphere, and the family finally opened their hearts and made their words clear.

But there was a big event in her heart, and Gu Jingshu was much more relaxed.

Stroking Qiao Lixi's little head, Gu Jingshu's heart was sour.

Her daughter is sensible, and she is pleased.

But such a sensible person paid a price.

"Mother, father, daughter's matter, I want to solve it myself."

Qiao Xingbang was silent, but Gu Jingshu said uneasily: "Qiaoqiao, you ......"

"Mother, is it difficult for our juniors to do it, and do we have to come forward with our elders? Grandmother can't talk about it. ”

According to the old witch's preference for Qiao Jinwen, a few children fight, only others have suffered, how can Qiao Jinwen be angry?

If the elders meddle in the affairs between the children, the old witch doesn't know how to jump her feet.

Qiao Yixi didn't want Gu Jingshu to be sad because of these things.

What Qiao Jinwen took from her, she will take it back without a penny!

"Although my daughter is not smart, she is not hopelessly stupid, if she really can't make up her mind, her daughter will discuss it with her mother."

Gu Jingshu still wanted to persuade a few words, but when she received Qiao Xingbang's eyes, the words on her lips turned around, "Since Qiao Qiao wants to try her skills, then my mother will let you play, if you need anything, just say it to your mother." However, we have to say it first, you can play as much as you want, but you can't joke with your own safety, there are many ways to achieve the goal, killing a thousand enemies and destroying yourself eight hundred, my mother will not agree. ”

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter assures you that she will not use her own safety as bait, nor will she do anything that will damage her body and reputation."

After getting Qiao Yixi's assurance, Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang nodded reassuringly.

After a few more words of instruction to her, only Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu were left in the room.
