Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 41
Chapter 41 Home Battle Baby
When Qiao Jinwen and her group arrived at the scene of the incident, the surroundings were empty. Not to mention the figure, there wasn’t even bird shit.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. Gu Jingshu, Xue Tao, and Maid came over.
Gu Jingshu was the most anxious.
At the beginning, she did not approve of Qiao Yunxi participating in the Chrysanthemum Festival. However, the child was looking forward to it. In addition, this was the Chrysanthemum Festival that Old Madame had helped Qiao Jinwen organize. If she rejected it too clearly, it would be Old Madame’s face.
Previously, she didn’t know that Qiao Qiao was being excluded, but now that she knew, what she was most worried about was that Qiao Qiao would be excluded and bullied. So when Maid said that something had happened to the rockery garden, she immediately rushed over, afraid that something would happen.
Gu Jingshu looked around and did not see the child. She said to Qiao Jinwen discontentedly, “Qiao San, where is Qiao Qiao?”
Xue Tao frowned imperceptibly, but she still asked worriedly, “Yeah, where’s your sister?”
“Auntie, I’m also looking for Qiao Qiao. We’re all playing there. We came over as soon as we heard the noise. We didn’t see anyone.”
“Qiao Qiao is not with you?” Gu Jingshu faintly became angry.
Qiao Ningdai hurriedly explained, “We were always together. Only after we went to the garden to play did Qiao Qiao separate from us.”
Therefore, it was not that they excluded Qiao Yunxi, but that Qiao Yunxi did not fit in with the crowd. She was also to blame for what had happened to her.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. That child Qiao Qiao is well-behaved and is in the manor. No big deal will happen.”
Before he could figure out what was going on, he had already decided who was in trouble.
Gu Jingshu was so anxious that she didn’t have the mood to fight against these people. She had to find Qiao Qiao quickly so that the child wouldn’t suffer any more harm.
“This should be the place where the accident happened,” Qiao Jinwen said calmly. “Take a look around and see if there are any clues.”
After giving the order, the servants began to search the surroundings. Gu Jingshu also joined the large group and carefully stared at her feet, afraid of seeing something similar to blood stains.
“San’er, are you sure this is the place?” Xue Tao asked.
Qiao Jinwen nodded and said with certainty, “I am very sure that the voice came from here, but I am not sure if it is Qiao Qiao.”
If she was ambiguous, even if something happened to Qiao Yunxi, it had nothing to do with her.
Zhong Mammy had been supporting Gu Jingshu and following her around.
At the end of the cool autumn, Gu Jingshu broke out in sweat.
“Madam, don’t worry. Girls are well-behaved and won’t do anything dangerous.”
“Qiao Qiao is sensible, but …” Gu Jingshu’s eyes reddened and she could not continue.
If it was Qiao Qiao, she would rather the child fell somewhere than be … framed.
She wasn’t to blame for thinking too much. It was all from a wealthy family’s courtyard, so she naturally knew about the dirty things in the rear mansion.
The Qiao Clan’s few rooms seemed to be in harmony, and only they knew how dirty they were privately.
“Mother” The timid voice was like a milk cat. It was clearly so weak, but it was exceptionally abrupt amidst the rustling sounds of footsteps and voices around it.
“Qiao Qiao!” Gu Jingshu hugged Qiao Yunxi in her arms.
Qiao Xi could clearly feel Gu Jingshu’s undulating chest and slightly trembling body. Her eyes flashed and she was docile to the point of not moving.
“Qiao Qiao, are you alright?” Gu Jingshu looked at her with concern.
Qiao Yunxi shook his head. “I also heard a voice. Is something wrong?”
“That scream isn’t your voice?” Qiao Ningdai asked in surprise.
Seeing Qiao Yunxi shake her head, Qiao Ningdai patted her chest and said, “I was scared to death. I thought it was you, so I was extremely worried.”
“Qiao Qiao, where have you been?” Qiao Jinwen looked at Qiao Yunxi reproachfully, “Do you know how worried we are that something might happen to you?”
Qiao Yunxi innocently said, “Didn’t you play a game? I found a safe place to hide. When I heard the scream, I went to look for you. None of you were there. I also heard voices coming from this side. Did something happen?”
He looked at the crowd timidly.
“Qiao Qiao, where did you come from?” Qiao Jinwen asked.
“From behind.” Qiao Yunxi pointed behind him.
“Qiao Qiao, did you see anyone on the way?” This time, it was Xue Tao who asked. She seemed to be concerned about Qiao Jinwen, but it would be interesting to think about it carefully.
Perhaps he could provide some clues to someone he met along the way, but it was also possible that he would encounter something that would damage his best friend’s reputation.
Just as Gu Jingshu wanted to say something, Qiao Yunxi said, “Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao is behind you.”
You haven’t met anyone, so how could she?
“Sister-in-law, what do you think?” Xue Tao threw the matter to Gu Jingshu.
She was only helping. Gu Jingshu had the Central Feed, so what happened was also Gu Jingshu’s problem.
Gu Jingshu frowned and said, “Let’s go back to the flower hall to count the number of people. Jiang Mammy, bring someone to guard this place and see if there are any suspicious clues around.”
Nanny Jiang looked at her master and saw Xue Tao nodding her head. “Yes, First Madame,” she said.
Gu Jingshu and Xue Tao brought a group of girls back to the flower hall and compared them with Qiao Jinwen’s list to count the number of people. These were all girls who hadn’t left the pavilion, and they were the children of business partners that had been befriended by the public, so nothing unexpected could happen to them.
Fortunately, everyone was here, so Gu Jingshu heaved a sigh of relief.
Very quickly, Jiang Mammy returned with his men. There was nothing suspicious about the scene of the incident.
As long as these girls didn’t encounter any accidents, Gu Jingshu felt that it didn’t matter who the scream came from. She could deal with it later.
Everyone’s interest in the game was not affected by this matter.
Gu Jingshu and Xue Tao sent more men to guard the surroundings of the Chrysanthemum Garden. Everyone continued to enjoy the chrysanthemum in the Garden. However, the content of everyone’s conversation had changed from the heaven and earth before to the shrill screams.
Qiao Jinwen poured a cup of newly brewed chrysanthemum tea for Qiao Xi. “Qiao Qiao, are you scared?”
Always diverting the topic to this matter. Is it over yet?
Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly.
She rarely smiles, or rather, she never smiles in front of people.
Her exquisite gaze was concealed by a dull expression. Although she was still so bright that she did not dare to look directly at him, she lacked spiritual energy and gave off a stiff feeling.
But now she suddenly smiled. She smiled innocently and innocently. She smiled innocently and shyly.
It completely overturned the impression she gave everyone, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Jinwen was the first to regain her senses and said in a tight voice, “Qiao Qiao, what’s wrong? Are you scared?”
He suddenly pulled back everyone’s thoughts.
A few teenagers who were sitting close to Qiao Xi stopped their gazes on her nostalgically.
“Slut!”
Not far away, Gu Jinzhen’s face suddenly darkened.
“Master?” Tang Yuan muttered suspiciously.
“You know how to fool a man with beauty at such a young age. What is it if you’re not a slut?”
Tang Yuan remained silent.
He could tell that no matter what the beautiful girl named Qiao Yunxi said, did, or did not say anything, his master could pick out a bunch of flaws.
How pitiful.
Being targeted by his abnormal master, other than not dying, he still didn’t stop.
“Thank you Third Sister for your concern. Qiao Qiao is fine. Qiao Qiao is just worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
Qiao Yunxi rolled his eyes playfully, and his expression became even more lively, attracting the sound of saliva being sucked in from the surroundings.
Qiao Jinwen’s eyes were slightly tight as she looked at Qiao Xi with more vigilance and scrutiny.
“I’m worried that this matter will get too big and have a bad impact on Third Sister.”
“Why?” Qiao Ningdai asked.
Qiao Yunxi tilted his head and said very seriously, “This is the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party prepared by Third Sister. If it goes wrong, outsiders will question Third Sister’s ability and the rules of Qiao Manor. Qiao Qiao has never experienced such a thing before, so she is very worried.”
Who wouldn’t say something that meant something?
Who isn’t an otaku?
Qiao Yunxi was so arrogant.
Qiao Jinwen’s expression changed, but she still had to pretend to be sisterly in front of others. She comforted them, “Qiao Qiao, don’t worry. Third Sister will handle this matter well. If it doesn’t work out, there will be Eldest Uncle and my mother. This matter will come to light, and I will definitely give an explanation to the sisters present.”
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be hidden. After all, it was a scandal in Qiao Manor. No matter which servant it was, it was a scandal in Qiao Family. However, if Qiao Jinwen didn’t tell everyone about the final result after hearing Qiao Yunxi’s words, it would be a stain on her ability and also a stain on Qiao Manor!
Angry, Qiao Jinwen made a promise.
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.
Thinking back carefully, she suddenly realized that she had been led by the nose by an idiot since some time ago!
The anger on her face surfaced ferociously. In the blink of an eye, she returned to normal. “Qiao Qiao, the three sisters didn’t hurt you in vain. They knew that they were worried about Third Sister.”
He was about to finish singing the gong that he had started!
Qiao Xi blinked her eyes shyly, her face expressionless.
She was still the wooden, dull child.
“Master, calm down.”
Over there, Tang Yuan quietly grabbed Gu Jinzhen’s sleeve, afraid that he would rush over with an impulse.
“Let go!” Gu Jinzhen struggled to pull his sleeve.
He said that he was trying his best, but in fact, his movements weren’t that big, so he didn’t want to attract the crowd.
“Master …”
“I’m fine.” Gu Jinzhen interrupted Tang Yuan.
When did this brat become so noisy?
Tang Yuan understood what Master meant and tried to let go of his claws.
Seeing that Gu Jinzhen was only pulling his sleeve with resentment and had no intention of rushing over, Tang Yuan retracted her hand with confidence.
Just when he thought that this matter had passed, Gu Jinzhen suddenly said with a dark face, “Go over and see what happened there.”
Don’t think that he didn’t see it from afar. That poisonous woman almost made Qiao Jinwen cry and pretended to be innocent.
She thought that she could deceive the world and conceal her evil heart?
Dream on!
Gu Jinzhen’s fingers moved.
Beautiful skin!
Haha.
Tang Yuan tangled up and touched the octagonal pavilion in the garden.
Although there were a few young masters in the chrysanthemum shed at the side of the pavilion, the relationship between them and the Qiao Clan couldn’t be better. His master was just a temporary queue cutter and wasn’t good enough to sit here. As a servant, he was not qualified to stand here.
