Chapter 138: Tokens
In Qiao An's opinion, Mrs. Li and Qiao Huien are very right, looking at the intimacy of Qiao Huien and Mrs. Li taking pictures of each other, I am afraid that everyone at that time acquiesced to them as a couple.
However, in the end, Qiao Huien married Zhang Shuya.
Qiao An has naturally seen photos of Zhang Shuya when she was young, even if she does not have prejudice against Zhang Shuya, she feels that she does not have one-tenth of the temperament and beauty of Mrs. Li.
Not to mention talking about self-cultivation, although Qiao An didn't know how Mrs. Li was, Zhang Shuya really couldn't bear to look at it directly. If you have to look for her advantages, at most she can be considered diligent and thrifty. Qiao's family is also considered to be rich, but if it is to buy something more than five hundred yuan for herself, Zhang Shuya will still hesitate and entangle. In her heart, she doesn't need to spend so much, the money is all for her precious son and grandson.
And this point also conflicts with Qiao Huien's progressive parenting philosophy.
Qiao An couldn't figure out, what did Qiao Huien fall in love with Zhang Shuya?
Is this the legendary beautiful love?
Maybe...... Mrs. Li will know why.
After all, there is a good chance that she is also one of the parties to this story.
Qiao An thought about it and put the photo of Mrs. Li back in her girlhood, but the photo of Qiao Huien, she carefully put it into her arms.
Now there is no point in going back from the tunnel, even if she goes back from the secret passage, there is no way to dispose of the carpet under the desk that was originally covered with the secret passage, as long as someone comes in, she will definitely find this secret passage; Second, the token or something, it's not important anymore, she's already got the most critical token, isn't she?
Joan pushed open the bedroom door, fortunately no one passed by outside for a while, of course she didn't know the way, but there was only one corridor, and if you followed it, you could always reach the exit.
Entering the courtyard, leaning on the rockery positioning, she spent more than ten minutes walking back to the West Garden, and at this time more than an hour had passed since she entered the hall. Joan didn't succeed in breaking the level, and she didn't know how long it would take to get through.
It's just that when Uncle Mu saw her appear, his brows immediately wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
"You...... Where did it come from? Uncle Mu asked coldly.
There is only one entrance and one exit in the entire organ hall, and the entrance has been locked, and it is absolutely impossible and unnecessary for Joan to destroy the entrance, and the exit, he has been guarding here, whether Joan appeared from the door or not, he knows best.
No.
"It doesn't matter," said Joan, "that I have the token, and take me to the head of the house." β
The token was put by Mrs. Li, and only Mrs. Li knew what the real token was.
Seeing that Uncle Mu didn't move, Qiao An said again: "Don't wait for Li Rourou, go back and pick her up at the door over there." β
This was already very clear, Uncle Mu's brows furrowed even deeper, he stopped talking, turned around and left, Qiao An followed him into a big room, Mrs. Li sat on the main seat, was drinking tea, saw them come in, did not raise her eyes, finished drinking tea, and said slowly: "Present." β
JoAnn knew she wanted a token,
He took the picture out of his bosom.
Uncle Mu only glanced at it and said coldly, "This is not ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mrs. Li: "Take it...... Take it. β
Qiao An didn't pay attention to Uncle Mu's outstretched hand, she took a few steps forward and lit up the photo in front of Mrs. Li: "You can see it clearly." β
Old Madam Li's face was slightly stiff, and her eyes were full of disbelief, but after all, she was the head of the family, and she never showed the slightest wavering, only when Qiao An got closer, she saw that her face was already pale.
ββ¦β¦ Exactly, this is the token. Mrs. Li said that she did not reach for the photo, and Qiao Ann took the photo back into her arms.
Uncle Mu had an unacceptable expression on his face, and he glared at Qiao An, not knowing what she wanted to do.
The real token is a bracelet, which he looked at Mrs. Li put in the box, how could it be turned into a photo?
However, Mrs. Li has already admitted that the photo is a token, and Uncle Mu can no longer express any objections.
He glanced at Old Madam Li, turned around and arranged for someone to pick up Li Rourou.
Qiao An stood next to her first, and while waiting, Mrs. Li still didn't say a word, as if she was playing with the antique teacup, but her eyes were not condensed, as if she was looking at the teacup, and she didn't look at anything.
After a while, Li Rourou was carried over, she was still not awake, Qiao An couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart, and accidentally hit too hard.
"I'm sorry, I just made her faint for a while...... "Joan said, "and she'll wake up in a little while." β
Lai's family doctor came to see him and said that there was no worry about his life, and Mrs. Li asked Li Changying's family to take Li Rourou back to her room to rest first.
The next step is to announce the results of the test.
Li Changying was no longer reconciled, Uncle Mu could no longer accept it, and he could not change the fact that Qiao An had passed the three tests.
Now that it has been passed, Qiao An has been recognized as Li Yunsu's fiancΓ©e, and the specific time to get engaged and how to get married will be discussed later.
β¦β¦
Joan returned to her room, and before she had taken a sip of water, she was invited to Mrs. Li's room.
I couldn't bear it.
She admired Mrs. Li for being able to hold on until the whole ceremony was over before calling her.
And after she entered the room, he could politely ask her to sit first.
Just didn't say anything, and Qiao An didn't come over to have tea, she took the initiative to say, "That's a photo of my grandfather." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I was raised by my grandfather, so I won't even recognize him."
Mrs. Li put down the teacup: "Really...... You were raised by him? What about your parents? β
Qiao An ignored the slightest pain in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's divided." β
Mrs. Li didn't ask any more, she looked at Qiao An carefully, and at the end, she sighed and said, "You are a bit like him." β
"When I first came, you didn't ask him if he was okay."
Instead, I asked Zhang Shuya.
"I know what you're trying to ask." Old Madam Li got up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the courtyard outside, "Zhang Shuya was originally my maid. β
β¦β¦οΌοΌοΌ
Joan's eyes widened: "She? How so? β
"How could not, her life and death contract is still with me." Mrs. Li said lightly, "She was sold." β
The servants of the Li family have all signed life and death contracts, whether they come in by themselves or are sold.
This life and death contract does not mean that you cannot go out if you enter the Li family, but it means that everything that happened and everything you saw in the Li family, whether it was during the period of Li Shi's work or after Li Shi left, was not allowed to leak a word to the outside world.
Once it leaks, no matter the ends of the world, it will be killed.
