Mrs. Qiao believed that Qiao Zhixian owed money to the casino, and she was afraid that Qiao Zhixian's reputation would not sound good, so she covered it up.

If it is a kidnapping, the meaning of this matter will change, at least it will not be these two women who will come to the Wu family.

"Speculation is speculation, and I'll check this gambling house tomorrow." Old General Wu said to Old Madam Qiao.

Old Madam Qiao didn't speak, but her heart became more and more anxious because of General Wu's guess, and when he found out the whole story of this matter little by little, maybe Qiao Zhixian's life was gone.

Seeing that Qiao's family was finally settled, Wu Zhi pulled Zheng Lingyi to turn around and leave.

Zheng Lingyi hurriedly said to General Wu: "Father-in-law, you should rest earlier." ”

"You are an official of Dali Temple, there must be a way!" Hearing Old Madam Qiao's words, Wu Punishment's footsteps didn't even pause.

"Can you save Zhixian?" This is her grandson who grew up.

"I can't." Wu Zhi felt that this old woman's face was really thick, "If you can't do it, you will convict me with one more crime." ”

Before leaving, Zheng Lingyi turned his head and glanced at Old Madam Qiao, feeling that although she looked like she was about to explode, she was still red, and she should not be angry to death.

The Qiao family has asked for General Wu, so they naturally have to share it in peace, but the Qiao family lives temporarily in the Ling Pavilion, and the Qiao family can't be under house arrest all the time, so they have to give the Qiao family some face.

In this way, it will be bitter for Gao Manyi.

Qiao's came to see his grandson from time to time, which was nothing, and Gao Man was still in confinement, and Qiao's had no reason to ask her to wait.

It's just that Qiao's is always a little bit of a nurse to pick and choose, this nurse was found by Mrs. Gao for Gao Man, the nurse is healthy and does things in a measured manner.

As long as others take a little bit away from her, she will follow inch by inch, as long as it is more than half a cup of tea, she will find a way to bring the child back, so that Gao Man can also take a look, and then carry it to the warm pavilion.

Gao Man is also most satisfied with this, but Qiao Shi is not, to put it mildly, is he treating her as a thief?

Qiao just pretended not to care, but he was actually scared in his heart.

"Hey." Qiao sighed, holding Gao Manyi's hand and refusing to let go.

The person sighed in front of him, and he had to ask, and Gao Man had no choice but to say, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm a little worried." Qiao Shi said with a sad face, "The one you said was living quietly, will he hold the account book and refuse to hand it over to you?" ”

"Brother and sister? She won't, but when I'm out of confinement, she'll have to return the account books and keys. Mother-in-law rest assured, her younger brother and sister mentioned the matter of returning to power a few months ago. ”

Qiao's words didn't make Gao Manyi careless, after all, she is Qiao's daughter-in-law, although she only divided half of the official frame from Qiao's hands, but it can be handed over to Gao Manyi, which is better than being handed over to Zheng Lingyi.

"That's why I find it weird." Qiao's frowned, still looking anxious, "Just assume that she is measured and not in love with power." But when you were about to give birth, you said that you wanted to return to power, I think it's a little strange, I think she knew that you wouldn't take it, so she did it on purpose. ”

"What's in it for her?" Gao Man also laughed dryly twice and said.

"How is it not beneficial? Aren't you letting your guard down on her now? I think that after you are out of confinement, something will happen to you in order to delay this period of return. ”

After Qiao finished speaking, he saw Gao Manyi's hesitant expression, and knew that she didn't believe it, so he said: "I know that Jingju is used to buying people's hearts, pretending to be pure-hearted and has few desires, but in fact, those mothers-in-law in her courtyard are about to make friends with all the people in this courtyard, and you also feel that you are in love with her." If you don't believe me now, it doesn't matter, you are my own daughter-in-law, and if something happens in the future, I will protect you. ”

These words made Gao Man a little uneasy, but she didn't show it, but said: "It's natural to have a mother-in-law in charge." ”

After sending Qiao's away, Gao Man was silent for a moment, and said to Xiangyang and Xianghan: "Do you think that what my mother-in-law said today is to separate me and my third brother and sister?" ”

"It's natural." Xiang Han said without thinking.

Xiangyang thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's said that it's a separation, but in the final analysis, you and the second young master, sister, and brother are a family, and naturally you and the old lady are also a family." These three young ladies are just in love with you. ”

Xiang Han glanced at Xiang Yang with some disapproval, but he didn't speak.

When Wu Yongan and Gao Man were at odds at the beginning, it was not up to Zheng Lingyi to often explain Gao Manyi, and the two of them were like something.

At that time, Xianghan didn't think that Wu Yongjun and Gao Manyi were like a family, but then again, as soon as this brother was born, the relationship between the two felt like a sigh of relief.

Gao Man also listened to the words of the two maids, thought about it, and looked at Xiang Han and smiled: "Yes, I have also been in this house for a long time, and I am used to thinking crankily, the third brother and sister are sometimes childish, and what they do is just for self-preservation, where can they be as scheming as my mother-in-law said?" ”

Xiang Han brought a tonic decoction to feed Gao Manyi, and said: "As soon as the confinement is out, the third young lady will ensure that 'Deng Dengdeng' will run back to hand over the key to the account book." ”

Gao Man also laughed, the shadow left by Qiao's on her heart dissipated, and Xiangyang also laughed, but the smile was a little faint, leaving a little concern.

The New Year's Festival is just around the corner, the Qiao family is still living in the Wu family, Qiao Zhixian has not returned safely, and the Qiao family will not go back if they say anything.

General Wu also tried his best to ask someone to inquire, but what kind of Hengtong casino is indeed a false name, it does not exist at all, and there is no way to find out.

Old General Wu didn't shirk this matter because of this, and this way didn't work, so he asked Zhao Huyuan to use some connections between three religions and nine streams to investigate, and a big living person would never disappear out of thin air like this.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, he went to Dali Temple to read a new dossier, and heard a message from Bai Temple on the way, Wu Yongan took the initiative to find Wu Punishment for the first time, saying that there was something to discuss.

Wu Yongan stood at the door waiting for him with a twist, and when he saw that Wu was punished, he hid in the shade of the tree again, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"What's the matter?" Wu Xuan didn't bother to walk anymore after taking a few steps, and faced Wu Yongan not far away.

Seeing that he didn't move, Wu Yongan had no choice but to walk up to Wu Zhi and said in a low voice: "My aunt came to Dali Temple today to find me, and asked me to set up a case of Zhixian, but I, I, this, this is not under my control." ”

In fact, he didn't have this right, but Wu Yongan couldn't say it.

"Dali Temple has never directly taken over ordinary cases, if the Qiao family wants to report the case, let them go to the yamen." Wu punished.

Wu Yongan's face was embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Don't I know this? The woman's view is extremely stupid, thinking that Dali Temple can endure more than the sky, I didn't respond to crying and crying in front of Dali Temple, I said that I came to discuss with you, so I coaxed her to rest, and now she is still waiting for news at the door! If you don't have an explanation today, let her make a fuss, don't ask for your face and mine. ”

Wu Yongan really has no way, he has to have the ability to solve it, so he won't come to Wu Punishment, God knows how unwilling he is to bow his head in front of Wu Punishment.

Wu Zhi passed by Wu Yongan without saying a word, Wu Yongan thought that he was iron-hearted, so he was frustrated, and found that Wu Zhi was going outside, and hurriedly followed.

Mrs. Qiao was really still waiting at the gate of Dali Temple, but she was moved to a farther corner.

The entrance of Dali Temple has ever been blocked like this, if it weren't for Wu Yongan's smiling face at the guarding door, I'm afraid this little lady Qiao would not be able to stand there in peace.

Wu Yongan finally broke out of the pool of tears, and didn't want to go back, so he hid behind the stone lion and watched from afar.

Seeing that Wu Punishment was coming, Mrs. Qiao was obviously a little nervous, she was Qiao Guanying's pillow person, and she knew best how ruthless Wu Punishment was back then.

"Unless Shangfeng appoints an important case, or a local official submits a case that cannot be handled, Dali Temple will not directly take over the case." Wu Zhi said straight to the point.

"Can't you just be accommodating?" As soon as Mrs. Qiao opened her mouth, tears fell down, and the bitter and salty taste that came to her face really made people afraid of her.

"I'm a petty official, and I don't have the ability. Although the little minions in the yamen are greedy for leisure, if they know that Dali Temple has robbed them of their errands, they will also have to bare their teeth. "Wu Punishment doesn't have Wu Yongan's ridiculous self-esteem, and he confesses.

"Why?" Mrs. Qiao asked reluctantly.

Wu Zhi has always been impatient, and sneered: "You usually feel that serving your husband is hard, but when you learn that there is a maid who wants to climb the bed, you don't want to come, right?" ”

This is already sarcastic, and coupled with Qiao Guanying's situation, the irony is even heavier.

In fact, as soon as Wu Zhi said it, he regretted it a little.

He hates Qiao Guanying, but after all, he has nothing to do with Mrs. Qiao, and marrying such a husband, Mrs. Qiao is also unlucky.

Mrs. Qiao neither left nor spoke, only shed tears silently.

The woman's tears were like strands of silk threads, and Wu Zhi did realize Wu Yongan's helpless collapse, coupled with a little apology in his heart, he said almost comfortingly, "Zhao Huyuan is very affectionate, I think he will find out." ”

"Third Young Master Wu is looking forward to finding Zhixian in his heart?" Little Madam Qiao suddenly spoke, her tone was a little strange.

Wu Zhi's long legs had already stepped out, but this question aroused the bad interest in his heart, and his steps stopped.

"I don't care if he comes back or not." Wu Zhi confessed.

Little Madam Qiao seemed to be tempting, and said: "Zhixian is very similar to Guanying, from appearance to temperament." ”

"Wouldn't that be good, am I still looking forward to your Qiao family having a dragon and phoenix?"

Wu Xian didn't know what Little Lady Qiao's intentions were, but she became more and more interested in snooping.

He savored Mrs. Qiao's expression, and guessed: "You, don't like him?" Don't want him back? ”

Little Madam Qiao glanced at him, lowered her eyes again, and did not refute.
