Chapter 23: Scolded

The quiet night of Qiao's house was stirred up by the loud noise of the daughter's house.

In what should have been a quiet night, a bright fire gathered not far from the back door.

Steward Wang's usual serious face faintly carried some meaning that life was worse than death.

The strong man in the house held a torch, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

The girls who were quarreled with didn't have any unhappy thoughts, but they all silently surrounded Tsing Yi and Xueyi in a circle, looked at them with sympathetic eyes, and gently patted their backs to comfort them.

Tsing Yi lowered his head and turned white, and in his hand he was afraid to pinch the black cloak of the snow suit, and the cloak was tightly crumpled.

The snowsuit looked even more desolate, his loose hair was draped over the tightly wrapped cloak, his neck was almost circled, trembling and wrapped himself tightly in the wind, his face was almost transparent, and the whole person was white except for black at first glance.

"That's the way it is."

Qiao Yipan stood in front of the old general, lowered his head and finished obediently.

The old general couldn't see the expression on his face, but just waved his hand to ask everyone to disband, in addition to telling everyone not to say that Qiao Yipan and his party came back over the wall, the old general Qiao also told everyone: "Don't quietly discuss the housekeeper after everyone goes back." ”

Everyone smiled kindly and nodded obediently, but Steward Wang was expressionless and thought about what everyone would talk about in the future.

Qiao Yipan was taken away by General Qiao, and the others also returned to the house.

The night was quiet again, and the study belonging to General Qiao in Qiao's mansion was still lit.

The oil lamp rattled, and the figures of the two in the dimly lit study cast shadows high and low on the window.

The grandfather and grandson were silent for a long time, and Qiao Yipan lowered his head and took the lead in speaking.

"Grandpa, I was wrong."

General Qiao fiddled with the oil wick in silence.

Qiao Dabawang gritted his teeth and continued to admit his mistake.

"I shouldn't have to provoke others without regard for the safety of the whole province."

Qiao Yipan has never understood why her grandfather has not allowed her to plan revenge for many years, but when the whole house put on their clothes and quickly went to the place to care for them because of a shout, she suddenly understood that the other party would hurt the people around her.

Whether it's to warn her, or to frame her.

There would be danger around her, she couldn't have protected so many people, and she would understand the meaning of death once again.

General Qiao glanced at Qiao Yipan, and after a deep groan, he said: "This is the first mistake, you are blinded by hatred, and you can no longer see the people around you that you are used to. ”

Qiao Yipan lowered his head in shame.

"But I've already arranged it."

General Qiao continued: "Then do you know where their family has gone? ”

General Qiao couldn't see an expression on his face, and it seemed that he was just asking.

But Qiao Yipan knew, so she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Their families died on the battlefield."

The government used these people because they were sad that there were no strong men in their families, and they were concerned about their food and clothing, and admired their heroic husbands, sons, fathers, or brothers.

The people of Qiaofu are the only concern of the heroic soldiers in the world, but she is risking their lives!

Qiao Yipan breathed a sigh of relief, and all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart.

General Qiao glanced at her coldly, and had no intention of showing mercy.

"Do you know who will be the first to die if you are discovered?"

General Qiao pointed his finger at the person who had just come in, "It's Steward Wang!" ”

Qiao Yipan breathed heavily.

"Because as soon as he dies, there will be chaos in the house. With no one to take care of the back house, do you think you'll be able to accomplish your clever plan! Or do you think you have someone around you who can already manage a house? ”

General Qiao slapped the table angrily and reprimanded sharply.

Steward Wang, who had quietly come in from the small door and was listening, was silent and quietly lit the incense to calm the spirit.

The heavy sense of oppression and the afterthought of happiness are intertwined, and the current emotions are like weaving a net, densely pressing Qiao Yipan to the ground, and he can't stand upright.

"Second mistake, you shouldn't act recklessly without a plan!"

General Qiao pointed his finger at her white clothes, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Don't tell me that your original idea was to wear a conspicuous white garment and pass under the eyes of those who have guarded the gates all their lives in the dark."

General Qiao's speech has stopped, there is no hysteria, and the simple narration of facts makes the emotions in people's hearts even stronger.

General Qiao's eyes were full of disappointment, he shook his head with a sigh, in the eyes of this person who had fought for most of his life, every action Qiao Yipan made was a serious mistake that would make him hit with one blow.

"Did you suddenly plan to arrange the Anqing Marquis Mansion? That's right? ”

General Qiao's old eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, and every sentence is inserted in people's hearts.

Qiao Yipan opened her mouth, she wanted to say that she had arranged Aunt Liu's place, but was it really right......

She didn't know.

General Qiao didn't regard the reckless young man in front of him as his precious granddaughter at all, he regarded her as a soldier, and he was full of regret for the military books piled up in her study.

"The third mistake is that people are not properly employed and trained poorly! Xueyi's disguise technique is really good, but just now she was a little girl, screaming, if this was somewhere else...... But if others are sensitive......"

Although the meaning of the words has not fallen, Qiao Yipan already knows the consequences, she will be directly exposed, and her every move in the future will be monitored, and it will be difficult to move an inch.

General Qiao didn't speak again, and waved his hand angrily to let people go away.

But in the silence, Qiao Yipan didn't leave, she knew why she said that she didn't train people well, because she had told them not to be afraid, but Xueyi still screamed.

A qualified subordinate will not make this mistake.

She doesn't train people well.

General Qiao was furious, and he had no strength.

He didn't say anything more, just said, "Just figure it out for yourself." ”

Qiao Yipan bowed respectfully to the two old men and walked to the door full of concern.

"Yipan," General Qiao called out to her weakly.

"I'm already old, Qiao's Mansion will be yours in the future, but it's not just you."

"I see, Grandpa."

Qiao Yipan closed the door, and the responsibility of Qiao's Mansion was heavier on her than any before.

Seeing Qiao Yipan walking into the darkness alone in silence, Steward Wang stood in front of the door with a faint heartache.

He sighed, "General, Miss is not going to the battlefield again, you are too strict." ”

The man behind him did not speak.
