Chapter 26: Courage

It wasn't until Qiao Shi received the letter of resignation that the ink had not dried that he realized that it was completely over.

"Master, master, you can't treat me like this, you and I have been married for more than 20 years......" The usual dignified and serious was already thrown out of the clouds, and Qiao grabbed Duan Shaoqing's sleeve a little crazy.

Duan Shaoqing turned his face away: "You can do it yourself." ”

The second girl, Duan Yunhua, felt the news after learning about it and rushed over.

"Father, why did you divorce your mother?"

Duan Shaoqing was already upset, and his daughter's questioning made him even more annoyed, so he immediately said with a straight face: "You don't have to get involved in the affairs of adults." ”

Duan Yunhua glared at Duan Shaoqing in disbelief, and his voice was sharp: "That's my mother!" When you treat your mother like this, have you ever thought about me and my eldest brother? Big brotherβ€”"

Duan Yunhua was a thriller and found the driftwood that saved his life: "I'm going to tell my eldest brother!" ”

Seeing her running out, Duan Shaoqing shouted: "Send the second girl back to the room, don't go out for the next two days!" ”

Tomorrow is the day of the national eunuch's mid-year holiday, Duan Shaoqing and the old lady have summed it up, so they simply wait for Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang to come back from the holiday tomorrow, and then tell them about Qiao's leave.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Duan Yunhua struggled.

Duan Yunling stood in the corner and looked at Duan Yunhua, who was dragged away by the servant woman with tears in his eyes, and bit his lip lightly.

It turned out that the second sister, who was domineering in front of her and her eldest sister, was nothing when it came time to confront her father.

Duan Yunling's gaze moved slightly, falling on Xin Yu.

Cousin Qing actually managed to let her father divorce her mother! Isn't she afraid at all?

No one came to answer the doubts of the little girl in the corner, but obviously in the center of the storm, Duan Yunling had never felt so relieved.

"Big brother, what's going on?" The second master, Duan Wenbai, and the second wife, Zhu, rushed over and saw Duan Yunhua being taken away.

"Second brother, don't ask more." Duan Shaoqing's face was gloomy, and he looked as if he was several years older.

On the side of Shaoqing's Mansion, because the eldest lady was suddenly panicked, the Qiao family also received a letter from the Duan family.

The head of the Qiao family was Qiao's sister-in-law, Ning, and when she opened the letter and read it, her face changed suddenly.

In order to avoid a quarrel between the two families, although the letter did not mention Kou Qingqing's fall off the cliff, it clearly stated that Kou Qingqing's surprise was Qiao's doing, which was the reason for Qiao's retirement.

The letter that Ning held in his hand kept shaking, Ning couldn't believe it at all, and read the letter word by word.

How could my sister-in-law do such a thing? The rumors outside are true!

"Go and call the master home."

Just then, a young girl walked in.

The girl has willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, she is pretty, and she is full of liveliness as soon as she speaks: "Mother, I miss my aunt, can I go to see my aunt tomorrow?" ”

This girl is Qiao's maiden niece, whose name is Ruozhu.

Ning was in the midst of a huge shock, and blurted out after hearing her daughter's words: "Go back to your room!" ”

"Mother?" Qiao Ruozhu was stunned, as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face was hot.

"Go back!"

Qiao Ruozhu covered his face and turned his head and ran away.

By the time the people from the Qiao family came to the door, it was already the beginning of the lights.

Shaoqing's Mansion was obviously brightly lit, but it was deserted, the old lady was not in the mood to eat dinner, and the others naturally did not have the heart to eat.

Qiao Shi was tired of crying, scolded enough, and sat numb and withered until he was picked up and walked out, and suddenly stopped: "I want to say a few words to my cousin." ”

The person who was supporting Qiao's couldn't help but look at the old lady.

The old lady subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Qiao's appearance, she was afraid of stimulating her, so she set her eyes on Xin Yu.

"It just so happens that I want to have a few words with Mrs. Joe." Xin Yu walked over to Qiao's.

The change of title was like a sharp knife, stabbing Qiao's even more painfully. She stared at the girl standing in front of her, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Cousin, are you satisfied with this result?" Qiao Shi struggled to squeeze out this sentence.

As soon as this question came out, the eyes of the old lady and Duan Shaoqing fell on Xin Yu.

Xin Yu said lightly: "It's not full of dissatisfaction, if there is a mistake, it should be punished, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”

Give an explanation to Miss Kou, who died in vain.

"I also want to ask Mrs. Joe, why did she do this to me?" Xin Yu's face showed just the right amount of doubt.

Qiao's face changed several times, suppressed the unwillingness of the overwhelming tide, and said coldly: "I don't want you to marry Chen'er, you are not worthy of him." ”

"That'sβ€”" Xinyu stretched out her voice, a sneer flashing from her lips.

is really a good mother who is planning for her children, and at this time, she can still endure only half of what she says.

Obviously, the millions of family fortunes are the root cause of Kou Qingqing's death. If there were no money, Qiao's was dissatisfied with Kou Qingqing as a daughter-in-law and resolutely refused.

But even if Qiao's hated the old lady who forced her son to divorce his wife at the moment, and hated her husband who ignored the love of husband and wife for many years, he still didn't mention half a word about this property.

She was afraid that she would remind the girl in front of her that if the millions of family fortunes flew away, her children would not be able to benefit.

Thinking about this, Xin Yu became more and more sympathetic to Kou Qingqing.

Qiao's motherly heart, but if you can think about it from the standpoint of Kou Qingqing's mother, who died early.

Xin Yu returned to the old lady's side and quietly stopped talking.

The meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the most important thing at this time is to settle the matter of Qiao's retirement, as for what to do with Kou Qingqing's family wealth, I have to talk to Xiaolian.

The Qiao family knew that they didn't make trouble, and the Qiao family didn't make trouble, so the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Xin Yu: "Don't listen to Qiao's nonsense, go back to the evening Qingju and rest." ”

"Qingqing retired."

Duan Yunling also retreated silently, caught up with Xin Yu and thanked him in a low voice: "Cousin Qing, thank you." ”

Xin Yu smiled: "Today's result is inseparable from Cousin Ling's bravery. ”

Brave?

Duan Yunling muttered these two words, wetting his eyes: "I always think that they are useless......"

"No, courage is always one of the most precious qualities, especially for us women."

This is what my mother said to her when she was very young.

She has always remembered it and tried hard to have it, and when she witnessed the tragic death of her mother, she was not defeated.

"Cousin Qing, what will happen to the eldest sister in the future?" Duan Yunling asked about Duan Yunwan, who had never appeared since she was taken away by the maidservant to change her clothes.

"I don't know." Xin Yu replied truthfully, "But I think that no matter how bad the result is, it is better than being pressed into a pool by a wicked servant and drowned." ”

Duan Yunling bit his lip and nodded slightly, watching Xin Yu's back gradually melt into the night.

Back at Wanqingju, Xin Yu called Mama Fang: "Tomorrow, Duan and Qiao will still have their property delivered, and the eldest son and the second son will also come back from Guozijian, and the house will definitely be busy." Nurse, there's something I want to trouble you. ”

"The girl will torture the old slave when she says this, if you have anything to explain, the old slave will do his best to do it."

Qiao's was suspended, and it was not only Xiaolian who was excited, but also Mama Fang.

"You go and help me inquire about a bookstore, Qingsong Bookstore."
