Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Invited An Expert
“Grandmother, Qiao Qiao’s medicine was given by her granddaughter.”
“You, you …”
Before Old Madame Qiao could get angry, Bi Cuiqiu slapped Qiao Ningdai’s face and said, “Bastard, do you know what you’ve done?”
“Grandmother, mother, granddaughter was also forced!” Qiao Ningdai put on a red palm print on her face and said ferociously, “It was Qiao Qiao who asked her granddaughter to buy it. Granddaughter doesn’t know that she wants to buy this kind of medicine. Granddaughter …”
“Since Qiao Qiao asked you to buy it, how can you not know what kind of medicine you bought?” Although they already knew that the people from the few rooms had ulterior motives towards Changfang and Qiao Qiao, they could not help but feel cold when they saw with their own eyes how these people were “united”, how they were “united against Changfang and slandering Qiao Qiao.”
“Uncle, Qiao Qiao only asked me to bring the medicine for her. She said that she had arranged everything. I just need to bring the medicine back and send it to her.” Being too nervous, Qiao Ningdai’s self-proclamation changed.
“That’s why Young Miss said that someone should investigate the source, because it’s impossible to find Young Miss’s head. The one who took the medicine was Fifth Young Miss.” Concubine Bai was also one of the Divine Assistants.
“Qiao Qiao” Qiao Jinwen looked incredulous, as if she had suffered a huge betrayal and blow.
Things had already progressed beyond her control, but they were heading in the best direction.
Being able to step on Qiao Xi and Changfang was one of them. Secondly, her father had suffered such a great “humiliation”. Doesn’t Changfang mean anything?
Second Brother is implicated. Is there no compensation for Changfang?
Of course, it would be best if they could split up.
However …
Splitting up the family isn’t a one-day affair. Besides, Fourth Fang hasn’t gotten the Qiao family’s property yet, but if it’s …
“Fifth Sister,” Qiao Xi interrupted Qiao Jinwen’s imagination, “did you say that I asked you to get the medicine?”
Without waiting for Qiao Ningdai to reply, she continued, “Since I asked you to get the medicine, I, or someone in my courtyard, or someone close to me, must have come into contact with the outside world. I wonder who Fifth Sister got the medicine from, where she got it, and bring it with her to confront her.”
“Fifth Sister is just an errand boy. The place to take the medicine is on the main street of the market. Where do you want Fifth Sister to find someone?”
“Then you can’t prove it?”
“I can’t prove it, but I’m telling the truth.” It was similar to a rascal’s words, but it was most suitable for the current situation.
As long as she bit Qiao Xi to death, regardless of whether there was any evidence or not, Qiao Xi would bear the responsibility in the end.
‘”That’s hard,” Qiao Yunxi spread out his hands. “Fifth Sister kept saying it was me, but who could prove that I asked Fifth Sister to get the medicine? And who could prove that the medicine that Fifth Sister brought back was put into Fourth Uncle’s drink?” From beginning to end, I only asked the kitchen to deliver sober soup. Furthermore, it was for my father to drink. Fourth Uncle went back to the Northern Courtyard first, then somehow went to the Eastern Courtyard and went to White Concubine’s bed. “Fourth Uncle may have been framed and lost consciousness, so he doesn’t know anything. Bai Concubine should be sober, right? Don’t you even know who’s in bed?”
“If Miss has carefully set up this trap, this servant is just a chess piece. It will be easy for me to be hit.” Concubine Bai was also shrewd. She would judge the situation and choose the most favorable situation.
Qiao Yunxi laughed.
“You’re not surprised that Fourth Uncle went from the Northern Courtyard to the Eastern Courtyard and grabbed onto that pack of medicine.”
‘”Qiao Qiao,” Xue Tao said softly. Her gaze towards Qiao Yunxi was as gentle as ever. She did not anger her because of what she did. “Fourth Aunt has always raised you around her like a daughter. Fourth Aunt is not as capable as eldest branch. But as long as it is yours, Fourth Aunt will definitely not shorten you. Fourth Aunt thinks that we are family.”
Those words were of a high standard.
Qiao Xi said, “So, fourth aunt also thinks that your daughter did it?”
Everyone thought that when Qiao Xi said “daughter”, she was referring to herself, who Xue Tao regarded as her own, but Qiao Xi was referring to Qiao Jinwen.
Everyone didn’t notice Qiao Jinwen’s unnatural expression at that moment. They only heard Xue Tao say, “Fourth Aunt naturally believes in you, but what about the medicine? Also, how did your fourth uncle get to the Eastern Campus?”
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes were tight.
Was this the reason that directly pushed Qiao Lao Si from the north courtyard to the east courtyard onto her?
Thinking about it.
Since she had already bought all the medicines, why didn’t she make all the preparations?
Letting the kitchen deliver the sober soup was just a cover. Who knew how she had given the medicine to Old Four Qiao, and under everyone’s gaze, she had made Old Four Qiao return to the Northern Courtyard, but in fact, she had arrived at the Eastern Courtyard.
As for whether Concubine Bai was an innocent chess piece or a capable helper, none of this mattered.
It was just a simple sentence that connected all the ambiguous clues together. Not only did it form a single line, it also gave off an omen.
Qiao Yunxi couldn’t help but glance at Xue Tao.
Xue Tao had no other expression on her face. Her love and concern for Qiao Yunxi was there. It was as if her previous words did not have any resentment towards Qiao Yunxi. She just stated the facts and asked questions. As long as Qiao Yunxi explained everything clearly, she still believed her.
“Fourth aunt has too many questions. Let’s come one by one.” Since you want to know, then let’s talk about it carefully.
Gu Jingshu looked at Qiao Xi. She was really angry and funny.
Since when did this child still have the heart to worry?
She didn’t know how nervous they were, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to handle it properly, so she was plotted against by someone.
If they weren’t afraid of affecting the child’s performance, they would have rushed forward earlier.
Hearing these people’s words, their hearts almost couldn’t bear it. This child didn’t take it seriously at all.
“Qiao Qiao?” Xue Tao couldn’t help but look at Qiao Yunxi.
Her palm-sized face was wrapped in gauze. Perhaps she was in good health, but Qiao Yunxi’s face had a hint of blood color, which made her eyes brighter and brighter. Her dark eyes shone with scorching light, and her beautiful features were flamboyant!
There was no arrogance, but it made people feel cold. Different from fear and timidity, it was the kind of arrogance that made people feel inferior.
His heart trembled.
When did this idiot grow to this point?
Qiao Yunxi didn’t bother with Xue Tao too much and directly said, “Fifth sister, you said that I asked you to take the medicine back. Because it was in the market, you don’t know what that person looks like, let alone his name.”
“I only know that it’s a man.” At this time, Qiao Ningdai did not forget to pour dirty water on Qiao Yunxi.
Who knows if Qiao Xi is innocent now?
Even if she did, what face would she have if she spread the news with such a despicable method?
Qiao Yunxi chuckled, “Then Fifth Sister should remember what was wrapping the powder, right?”
‘”I remember that.” Qiao Ningdai calmed down. Since she was the one who handled it, she naturally remembered. Moreover, the more detailed she was, the better. When the time came, Qiao Xi wouldn’t be able to reject it even if she wanted to. “It’s yellow oil paper. It’s broken into a triangle.”
“Fifth Sister is talking about the oilpaper from the Treasure House, right? This kind of oilpaper is disposable. Once it is opened, the oilpaper will be hard to recover.”
“Yes, it’s the oil paper from the Treasure House.”
Because of the peculiarity of this oil paper, the palace often used it to make envelopes and transmit information. The paper is hard, and once it is formed, it is difficult to re-package it.
“Fifth sister, look, is this it?” Qiao Yunxi reached out and handed a package to Qiao Ningdai.
“How, how could it be? You clearly …”
“What is it? It’s clearly in the sober-up soup?” Qiao Yunxi laughed.
The oil paper bag in her hand was folded into a triangle, and the crease was obvious at a glance. It had never been unsealed.
“Perhaps, this isn’t the bag that Fifth Sister gave you?” After Qiao Jinwen finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at Qiao Yunxi apologetically.
“San’er is right. If you can buy one bag, you can buy two! If something happens, it’s on your Fifth Sister!”
“Mother” Qiao Xingbang’s eyes turned red.
Was it something a grandmother should do to ruthlessly pour dirty water on her granddaughter?
The elders were all trying to hide the fact that something had happened to the children of other families, but Qiao Family was the only one who didn’t want to throw his life on Qiao Qiao.
Ha, he’s still here!
“Daddy, don’t worry.”
As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, a granny said that Master Wen had come.
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
“I invited Imperial Physician Wen here. Mammy, invite him in.”
“Qiao Qiao!” The matriarch angrily reprimanded her and called a doctor without her permission. This was not only provoking her authority.
Qiao Xi’s expression was still calm. “Master Wen was left behind by Old Madame Lu. Because the injury at the corner of her granddaughter’s eye has not healed yet, Old Madame Lu is worried. She left it to her granddaughter temporarily. Today’s situation is also special. Otherwise, granddaughter would not have troubled Master Wen for a visit.”
“Qiao Qiao, you” Qiao Jinwen wanted Qiao Yunxi to give up.
Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly at her. “Third Sister, don’t worry. With Imperial Physician Wen here, everything will come to light.”
Qiao Jinwen’s smile stiffened.
Normally, the Qiao Clan, which was eager to get along with the Marquis Manor, wished for such a distinguished guest to come to the manor, but today, Imperial Physician Wen was not welcome.
Nevertheless, after Doctor Wen entered the courtyard, Old Madam Qiao greeted him politely, “Doctor Wen, I’m sorry to trouble you to come here. The child is ignorant, please take care of him.”
‘”Old Madame is too serious. I am fated to meet Qiao Qiao. It is within my capabilities for the child to ask me for help today, so I will help him. Before Mrs. duke returns to the capital, she deliberately left me behind because she was worried about this child.”
Old Madam Qiao squeezed out an ugly smile.
“Imperial Physician Wen, I’ll have to trouble you today.” Qiao Yunxi stepped forward and bowed to Imperial Physician Wen.
Stroking his beard, Imperial Physician Wen smiled and said, “It’s just a simple matter of doing something.”
“I invited you here today to ask you to contact the father and fourth uncle of the maiden.”
“Oh?” Imperial Physician Wen was puzzled.
Qiao Yunxi smiled embarrassedly. “Because something happened at the table, I would like to ask you to help me see what’s wrong with the daughter’s father and fourth uncle.”
