Chapter 16: Luckily
Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi glanced at each other, then looked at Tong Yuqing suspiciously, and asked in unison, "How do you know?" ”
Tong Yuqing told Qiu Linghe about meeting her yesterday from beginning to end, but omitted the last words that Qiu Linghe told her.
After a while, Tong Fengyi said: "We don't plan to deal with Ling Jiong, the department has just removed a deputy director and a minister, and Yejin security can't make any mistakes at this time." And I have also found out that Ling Wei was co-opted by your uncle, not that he coerced your uncle to betray the Qiu family. You can't be disgusted with Ling Ji because of Ling He's words. In the ......"
"I can't hold any affection for either of them until I'm sure who will be the successor of either of them. You've told me that many times, I remember. Tong Yuqing said helplessly, "But father, you have been traveling in the mountains and rivers for the past three months, and your cronies have always been used by me." How did you find out about these things? ”
In fact, Tong Yuqing has always wanted to ask her father about this matter, but she has no chance.
Tong Fengyi smiled: "It's true that I didn't find it. Guess who? ”
Tong Yuqing smiled bitterly: "There are so many people up and down the financial secretary, how can I guess?" ”
Tong Fengyi shook his head, "It's not someone from the division, but someone who is very close to you." ”
"Someone close to me? Well...... Is it a mother? But my mother has never interfered in the affairs of the division? Is it because of this special situation that you asked your mother to investigate? ”
Tong Fengyi laughed and shook his head, "It's not your mother." ”
"Not a mother? If it's not a mother, can it still be a little hao? Tong Yuqing joked. But she didn't expect Tong Fengyi not to smile this time. Seeing Tong Fengyi and Qiu Zeyuan's expressions, Tong Yuqing was shocked and said, "Is it really Xiao Hao?!" But...... But he ......"
"But what? It's your brother who found out everything. When I said I was going to take a vacation, I'm sure all of you thought I wasn't really resting, but secretly investigating a mole. So how could I possibly find any evidence under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, both in the open and in the dark? But Xiao Hao is different, he is only ten years old and he does not serve in the department, and wherever he goes to 'play' will not attract anyone's attention. ”
After listening to her father's explanation, Tong Yuqing couldn't believe it and could only believe it, but she didn't expect her younger brother to be able to do such a difficult thing at a young age. In the past three months, my father has indeed been obsessed with mountains and rivers every day, but Yu Hao is not by his father's side every day. Almost instantly, Tong Yuqing figured out everything. Uncle Qiu and his father had long been wary of their uncle, but they did not think that his uncle would go too far to collaborate with the enemy and rebel against his ancestors. There are so many checkpoints from Puxi to Yejin, and no one can hide from the world. Lu Jingwu thought that he had sneaked into Yejin silently, although his uncle released water to him, but in fact, Uncle Qiu deliberately arranged it. And Uncle Qiu's purpose in letting Lu Jingwu in was to test Bai Qiaoxuan's attitude. If it is not bad, Bai Qiaoxuan's reply to Lu Jingwu should be satisfactory to Uncle Qiu, otherwise I am afraid that neither Lu Jingwu nor Bai Qiaoxuan will be able to walk out of Yejin upright that night. Thinking of this, Tong Yuqing couldn't help but shudder. Bai Qiaoxuan thought that Uncle Qiu and his father had unreservedly believed in him from the beginning, but they didn't know that this trust was only won by his reply to Lu Jingwu like a bet that night. If he deviates slightly, I am afraid that the situation in Puxizhou will change drastically. But on second thought, in their position, who isn't gambling? Fortunately, Uncle Qiu and Bai Qiaoxuan were right this time, and they tacitly formed an alliance without knowing each other's thoughts, and this alliance should be the strongest alliance in the world if nothing else. As for Yu Hao's ability to find out about Qiu Lingwei and Liu Zhenning, I am afraid that he still has his own credit. If he hadn't been sent to that private house for resettlement, Lu Jingwu would not have exposed such a big flaw, exposing their relationship with their uncle so early.
"He did a great job on this mission, not inferior to you at all. But after this time, he can no longer just be the pampered little master. It's time for him to go to the Financial Department and train with you. ”
Tong Yuqing was once again shocked by her father's words, "Father, Xiao Hao is only ten years old, is it too early for him to join the Financial Department now?" ”
"It's not early at all, I joined the Financial Department when I was just 10 years old. It's been more than half a year since his tenth birthday. This matter is decided, let him go to the logistics department first like you did back then. ”
Tong Yuqing suddenly felt tired and weak like never before, nodded yes, and then got up to say goodbye to the two elders, and didn't want to go to Qiu Yiyou anymore, so she went back to the house directly.
Sitting in the car and looking up at the few stars hanging on the dark sky, Tong Yuqing remembered who said, "The world has good days, beautiful scenery, appreciation, and pleasure, and it is difficult to combine the four." ”
The bitterness that has been suppressed for a long time is surging and flooding in the bottom of my heart, and these four are never difficult to merge, but like heaven and earth, ice and fire, they are not in the same time and space at all, and there is no intersection at all......
"Miss, Bai Gongzi came to visit, saying that he was looking for you." Yao Yao gently patted the sleeping Tong Yuqing.
Tong Yuqing turned over in a daze, saw the sky outside the window, sat up suddenly, and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's upright, miss, are you going to get up?" Yao Yao was startled by Tong Yuqing's movements, and asked cautiously.
Tong Yuqing hurriedly lifted the quilt, "Get up!" Of course, it's too unreasonable to get up, and it's really unreasonable to not be able to do it again. As he spoke, he secretly blamed himself for how he could sleep until this hour? But remembering that she did toss and turn for a long time to fall asleep last night, she didn't blame herself so much.
After cleaning her hands and face, Tong Yuqing realized why Yao Yao came in to wake her up, "You...... Did you just say that Bai Qiaoxuan is here? ”
Yao Yao nodded yes, Tong Yuqing hurriedly took the juanpa in Yao Yao's hand, and said hurriedly: "Then what are you still doing here?" Go and receive him for me. I'll just freshen up myself. Just go! ”
Yao Yao hurriedly put down the work in her hand, strode to the door, and heard Tong Yuqing say, "Wait......"
She turned her head to look at Tong Yuqing, but Tong Yuqing waved her hand again, "Go." "Bai Qiaoxuan is such a shrewd person, he will see through any lies he makes, not to mention that she also promised him to be honest.
Bai Qiaoxuan saw that it was Yao Yao who went to report, and it was Yao Yao who came back to see him, thinking of the staggered and fleeting face he had glimpsed in the car last night, and vaguely guessed something.
"Your young lady hasn't gotten up yet? Did I wake her up? ”
"Nope. The young lady was already up and was getting dressed. She ordered me to receive you, and you sit here for a while, while the slave maid goes and makes you a pot of tea. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan stopped Yao Yao and said with a smile: "You don't have to be busy, just talk to me here for a while." You sit too. As he spoke, he patted the spot next to him.
Yao Yao hurriedly shook her head, "The slave doesn't dare, how can the maid sit with the guest?" The Tong family doesn't have such rules. Let the lord and lady see it, they will definitely scold me to death. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan saw Yao Yao frightened like this, and secretly blamed himself for being a little reckless, "It's my negligence, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he stood up.
Strange to say, he is also a person who is used to using maids at home. But somehow, he didn't want the people around Tong Yuqing to suffer his "grievances". He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the scenery, guessing that the first snow of the year would be coming soon.
"When did you come to Tongfu?" Bai Qiaoxuan asked Yao Yao, who was standing behind him on his left.
"Back to Bai Gongzi, the slave was born in Tongfu."
"Oh? So you've been waiting for your young lady since you were a child? Then you should be familiar with her, how does she treat you? ”
"Miss is very good to the slave maid, she hardly asks me to do any work when there are only the two of us in private, but not in front of the old lady......" Yao Yao couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Tong Yuqing's kindness to her, and suddenly remembered that Tong Yuqing had told her not to mention the secret between them to outsiders, and quickly closed her mouth.
Seeing Yao Yao's reaction, Bai Qiaoxuan couldn't help but laugh along. Tong Yuqing walked to the hall and saw that Yao Yao was covering her mouth nervously for some reason, while Bai Qiaoxuan beside her was laughing happily.
The winter sun is warm and warm, and through the mirror-like floor-to-ceiling windows, Bai Qiaoxuan's suit is as white as snow, blending his whole person into the golden warm sun. And his hearty laughter added a joy to this warmth, which made Tong Yuqing's heart, which had been frozen all night, gradually melt.
Tong Yuqing walked over and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?" Saying that, he hit Yao Yao, "Why are you so respectful and inferior?" Standing here and not pouring a glass of water for Bai Gongzi? ”
It's okay if she doesn't say it, she uses such "obscenity", Bai Qiaoxuan wants to laugh even more, but he still can't help it, and said with a smile: "I didn't let Yao Yao go, don't blame her." Now that you've packed up, let's go. ”
"Let's go? Where to? Tong Yuqing asked.
"Go pay off your debts." Bai Qiaoxuan laughed again, pulled Tong Yuqing and walked out, and said to Yao Yao: "Don't worry, I won't betray you." ”
"Huh? What are you two hiding from me? Yao Yao ......" Yao Yao watched Tong Yuqing being pulled farther and farther away by Bai Qiaoxuan, and it was not until she finally couldn't hear the sound of the two of them talking that she reluctantly returned to the room.
Yao Yao was full of worries, and suddenly found that her father was in her room, and she couldn't help but be startled......
