Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 36
Chapter 36 An Awkward Scripture
Previously, he was too obsessed and didn’t think it through. He only focused on eradicating the scourge, protecting Qiao Jinwen, and standing beside her openly. But now, he understood that he had to make that poisonous woman as despicable as possible. After that, he would slowly torture her to death!
He wanted to return what Qiao Yunxi had done to Qiao Jinwen to her with interest!
With this thought in mind, Gu Jinzhen felt relieved.
Lord Marquis naturally noticed Gu Jinzhen’s change. He didn’t think too much about it. He only thought that this child had realized his mistake. If he knew his mistake, he would be a good child.
Qiao Xi greeted Old Marquis and Madam Lu respectfully.
“This child looks much better. Is his body recovering well? I heard from Imperial Physician Wen that Qiao Qiao is very sensible and cooperates with his treatment.”
“Thanks to Imperial Physician Wen, otherwise this child would still be lying on the bed.” Gu Jingshu said with confidence.
Qiao Xi sat on the seat with her eyebrows lowered and her toes hidden under her skirts. While listening to the adults’ conversation, she quietly pointed at the ground with her toes. The red chrysanthemum on the tip of the embroidered shoe shyly stretched out a little and shyly retracted back.
Gu Jinzhen lowered his eyes. He was originally bored as he passed the time. Suddenly, a sharp red mark appeared in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Yunxi’s movements were light but rhythmic.
Gu Jinzhen, whose head was empty, could not take his eyes off it!
When he realized how stupid he had been, he suppressed the anger in his chest and uncomfortably cast aside his gaze.
Sure enough, she was a gorgeous bitch!
Gu Jinzhen cursed fiercely.
He knew what Qiao Yunxi would look like when he grew up. He admitted that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but so what?
It’s just a beautiful skin.
No matter how seductive the skin pouch was, it could not hide Qiao Yunxi’s dirty heart!
He didn’t stare at the bottom of Qiao Yunxi’s skirt!
He had only inadvertently noticed Qiao Xi shaking her feet. He had politely avoided Qiao Xi’s gaze and inadvertently swept it over.
Yes, that’s it!
But even so, it still made him extremely disgusted!
Gu Jinzhen would not admit that the flash of red in his head …
It’s actually beautiful.
After exchanging a few words, Lord Marquis, Qiao Xingbang, and Gu Jinzhen arrived at the study room of the outer courtyard. Madam Lu, Gu Jingshu, and their daughter walked around the garden behind them.
Earlier, Qiao Xi had accidentally intruded into the Marquis’ Mansion. She only knew that the Lu Clan had opened up a vegetable garden in the main courtyard. At that time, she was quite surprised that the main courtyard had actually turned into a vegetable garden for a dignified first-grade official. Therefore, she thought that the Marquis’ Mansion did not have a garden other than a vegetable garden. However, he did not expect that not only did the Marquis’ Mansion have a garden, there was also a small patch of Merlin.
This was a unique scenery of the Marquis Manor. Not only was it famous in Shu, even his colleagues in the capital had come to admire it. It could be seen how famous this plum forest was.
Qiao Yunxi did not study plum blossoms. He only heard from Lu shi that there were more than ten varieties of plum blossoms here, all of which were precious and precious varieties. They were all carefully cultivated by Lord Marquis from all over the country.
Lu shi Ximei, Lord Marquis has cultivated a plum planting skill that is even better than his.
“I only know that Lord Marquis is valiant and valiant on the battlefield, but I don’t know that he has such a tender side.” Gu Jingshu became familiar with Madam Lu and spoke casually. “He Yi, Hundred Refinements of Hardness, turned into soft fingers. Although it’s not very appropriate, it’s also the old Marquis’s deep affection for his wife. He has a tender side as well.”
A soft expression appeared on Madam Lu’s resolute face. “This old man and wife, how can there be so many things to say?”
Qiao Xi had quietly learned about the Marquis’ Manor’s situation before, and what she knew from Lian Qiao’s mouth was all gossip spread among the people.
Lord Marquis and Matriarch Young Couple. Lord Marquis followed the High Ancestor to take down this mountain range. He started his career in vain, assisted the previous emperor, and now he was the Three Dynasties Patriarch whom the current emperor trusted the most!
Lu shi was also a legendary figure.
She and Lord Marquis were childhood sweethearts. The two of them were from the same village. The three generations of their ancestors were hunters, so both Lord Marquis and Madam Lu could do some kung fu.
When the High Ancestor unveiled the uprising, the Marquis relied on his youth and his newborn calf not to fear the tiger. He stupidly used the price of blood to exchange for killing techniques and battlefield strategies to help the High Ancestor expand his territory. His merits were all based on battle merits.
Madam Lu was also a woman who didn’t let her brows fall. She followed the old duke through life and death and was also a woman who had been on the battlefield. She was very famous in the Marquis of Zhen Yuan’s guards, and her words and actions were harder than those of ordinary officials’ wives.
Afterwards, Gao Zu entrusted Gao Gu with the military power and the gold medal of avoiding death to Lord Marquis. When the previous emperor was seated firmly on the throne, Lord Marquis returned the military power and quietly assisted the previous emperor.
The first emperor and the old duke were like monarchs and subjects, as well as father and son.
Everyone in the Imperial Court knew how difficult it was for the first emperor to ascend to the throne.
Although Gao Zu had already proclaimed himself an emperor, neither internal nor external troubles had subsided. It was in this situation that the previous emperor succeeded. One could imagine how many people were unconvinced and wanted to drag the previous emperor off the throne.
The old duke and the royalists firmly assisted the previous emperors, and it was only then that the current peaceful era of the dynasty came into being step by step.
Therefore, the current emperor respected the old duke very much.
Even the Empress Dowager valued Madam Lu very much.
However, only the Little Emperor and Empress Dowager knew how much of this respect and appreciation was sincere and how many were afraid of Gao Ge Zhu.
However, from the perspective of loyalty, Qiao Xi admired Lord Marquis very much.
After circling around Merlin for a little while, the group entered the pavilion for a rest.
The matters of personal attendance were all matters of forsythia, not to mention the servants of the Marquis’ Manor, so Danggui retreated outside to take charge of the security of the periphery.
After all, it was his first day on duty, and he didn’t understand many rules. If he dashed into a noble person, he would only bring trouble to his master.
Leaning against the tree, Danggui had a withered grass in her mouth and looked into the distance boredom.
“Eleven.”
Dang Gui frowned and quickly returned to normal.
She casually turned around and chose a more comfortable position.
“Do you remember what Master told you?”
“Are you tired? When have you ever seen me fail a mission?” Dang Gui’s lips moved. He clearly did not make any sound, but the person who spoke to her “heard” very clearly.
“It sounds like your master has given you a lot of tasks. If I remember correctly, this is your first task, right?”
Dang Gui curled his lips and said, “This is also the first mission issued by Master.”
The first task landed on her, which showed her master’s trust in her.
“I was kind enough to remind you that this mission is not a trivial one.” The man reminded.
“Naturally, it’s no small matter. Otherwise, why would Master let me go on a mission?” His tone was filled with unconcealable arrogance.
“Don’t be complacent. If this mission didn’t require a woman, you would have thought it would be your turn.” The man was obviously a little angry.
‘”If you have the ability, you will become a woman.” Danggui smiled wryly.
The other party remained silent.
Dang Gui suddenly asked gossipily, “Hey, why did you say that Qiao Yunxi offended Master? Master didn’t hesitate to transfer me back?”
No wonder Dang Gui was curious, he really wanted to know the reason too much.
One had to know that although their “Twelve Killing Gods” had been chosen by their master a few days ago and had been formed on an ad hoc basis, they were all old men who were by his side. They were his most hidden strength. This time, when Master came back, he encountered the most dangerous assassination and was fatally wounded. He didn’t ask them to do anything, just to conceal his strength.
And she was actually planted in Qiao Mansion for a little brat.
If she hadn’t investigated the eighteen generations of the Qiao Clan’s ancestors, what kind of hidden power would she still have to deal with as her master?
With great difficulty, Angelica sinensis showed that her master was overqualified and underestimated.
“You’d better behave yourself. Don’t probe Qiao Yunxi. Master just wants you to look at her and forbid her from attacking anyone in Qiao Family.”
‘”Hey, Eighth Brother, I’m surprised. When did Master become related to the Qiao Family? Or did Master want to protect someone from the Qiao Family, but he didn’t want to expose that person. That’s why he asked me to stay by Qiao Xi’s side and not allow her to attack anyone from the Qiao Family?”
“Master’s matter, is it something you can arrange?” His tone became heavier, a clear warning.
Dang Gui curled his lips in disdain.
They were chosen from a group of orphans more than ten years ago.
At that time, how old was Master?
Five years old.
A five-year-old master already had that kind of mind. At the same time, she admired her master, but at the same time, she thought that her future could not be underestimated if she could follow such a master!
After that, Master followed Lord Marquis to the southern border. The twenty of them stayed in the capital to receive various kinds of training. Five years later, they received orders from Master to go to the southern border to receive harsher and crueler training. At the same time, they also did some assassination and accumulated experience.
Apart from that, Master did not give them any separate missions.
Then?
After Master was injured this time, he suddenly chose twelve people from among them to form the Twelve Killing Gods. The remaining few people were arranged elsewhere by Master according to their abilities.
The Twelve Killing Gods, apart from the four people who were beside their master, all of them stayed in the southern border. So, when Master transferred her back, she was excited.
Of the twelve people, she was the first to be sent by her master to act alone, but she didn’t expect that she would actually act as a Maid beside a weak little brat.
This wasn’t just a question of overqualified people being useless, it was also a question of her ability.
Dang Gui strongly expressed his dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do.
“Remember, report every three days.” After giving a few final instructions, the voice disappeared.
Lunch was served in the flower hall. Because there were fewer people, Qiao Xi was also young, so she didn’t have a separate table. Everyone sat together.
Gu Jinzhen did not pay too much attention to Qiao Yunxi, but Qiao Yunxi did not feel that Gu Jinzhen had changed his character and stopped.
She was a person with a strong sense of crisis, especially when she was dressed here. Qiao Family’s misery made her understand that it was not she who was looking for trouble, but she who was looking for her. It was not that she could live a peaceful life without fighting or robbing. Moreover, the human-like youth on the other side had wanted her life from the very beginning!
She could tell the difference between “stirring up trouble” and “killing”. The killing intent on a person’s body did not lie, that was the most realistic portrayal of people’s hearts and emotions.
Xiang Yu Xin Sheng, this was what he was talking about!
Only an unforgettable hatred could condense that monstrous killing intent!
