Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Lobbying
Qiao Xi curled her lips and said, “Grandmother let her pass.”
“Take a look!” Qiao Ningdai poked Qiao Yunxi on the forehead and said, “I told you grandmother was angry. You still don’t believe me! I told you to follow us back. Are you okay? Now grandmother is not only angry, she’s also angry at eldest branch.”
“Then what should we do?” Qiao Xi’s small, paralyzed face couldn’t see the slightest bit of emotion.
“What else can we do? Let’s see, why don’t you come back with us and talk it over in front of grandmother, see if you can get Concubine Bai back, and then you can move into the inn.” Qiao Ningdai said anxiously.
Qiao Xi didn’t say anything and revealed a rare hesitant expression on her face.
Qiao Jinwen sighed, “I know you’re afraid of grandmother, but grandmother is harsh on you for your own good. Your fifth sister and I wish grandmother would be harsh on us. We love each other so much and are responsible for each other. Qiao Qiao, now that you’re studying, you should know the truth.”
Qiao Xi buried her head awkwardly.
Qiao Jinwen frowned and continued, “Qiao Family is supported by eldest branch. Grandmother is unavoidably harsh on eldest branch. Grandmother is also doing this for Qiao Family. Don’t you want to get Grandmother’s praise the most? Follow Third Sister back and show filial piety in front of Grandmother. Grandmother loves children who know their limits, are reasonable and reasonable the most.”
“Compared to Third Sister and Fifth Sister, I’m nothing.” His awkward tone carried a trace of looseness and anticipation.
Qiao Jinwen immediately smiled. “You, now you are studying in the clan. You understand a lot of reasoning and do things in a proper manner. Are you afraid that grandmother doesn’t like you?”
“However, Concubine Bai was sent to the manor by grandmother. Could it be that if I say a few words in front of grandmother, Concubine Bai will be sent back?”
After a short silence, Qiao Ningdai said, “Grandmother stuffed Auntie Bai into the long room just to leave an incense stick for Uncle. Auntie Bai is just a tool to carry on the family line. She is just a cheap concubine, and her life and death are in Uncle’s hands.” Qiao Qiao, you don’t have to worry. With Eldest Uncle Niang’s methods, you can’t suppress a lowly concubine? Grandmother was also anxious. Long House didn’t have a son, so who would inherit such a large estate in the future? Eldest Uncle supports the entire Qiao Clan. To put it bluntly, our rooms are all dependent on the long rooms. What will happen to the Qiao Clan after the long rooms are gone? “Grandmother also loves Eldest Uncle and Eldest Uncle Niang. She also loves you. In the future, when you get married, your mother will have no brothers to support you. No amount of dowry will be enough to support your confidence. That’s why grandmother … If Concubine Bai had given birth to a son earlier, her mission in the long house would have been completed. At that time, Eldest Uncle Niang would have sold her out.”
“Really?”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Qiao Xi’s confused expression, Qiao Ningdai said, “As long as the Changfang family has a son and grandmother is no longer worried, who cares about the life and death of a cheap concubine?” Concubine Bai has been in the long bedroom for a while now, but there is no movement in her stomach. It would be strange if grandmother is not anxious! Grandmother was also worried about the long house, so she was a bit tyrannical. “Auntie is the same. We should start from the overall situation and bear with it. As long as Concubine Bai gives birth to a son and keeps it under her name, won’t Concubine Bai be able to get rid of it?”
“But what if it’s a daughter?” Qiao Yunxi asked.
“She’s just a concubine daughter. She can’t surpass you. Just take care of her. When you reach your age, arrange a marriage and send her out.”
“Alright, Qiao Wu, the more you say it, the more complicated it becomes. Qiao Qiao is confused.” Seeing Qiao Xi’s brows furrow deeper and deeper, Qiao Jinwen stopped Qiao Ningdai, who was gushing endlessly, She held Qiao Xi’s hand and said, “Grandmother is angry now. When do you think you can go back and talk to grandmother? Tell Uncle and move to the inn so that the people outside won’t think that the Qiao Family’s house is fine. The Qiao Family doesn’t live in the manor of Uncle’s mother. They think that there’s something dirty between our rooms.” Grandmother loved face the most, how could she not be angry? “Also, the most important thing is for Concubine Bai to give birth to a son sooner.”
“But my mother …”
“Qiao Qiao,” Qiao Ningdai said to Qiao Xi with a serious expression, “if Auntie doesn’t arrange it, then you … see if Auntie Bai and Auntie Bai can …”
“Me?” Qiao Yunxi understood what Qiao Ningdai meant and pointed at her nose.
Qiao Ningdai gritted her teeth and said forcefully, “Eldest Uncle Niang loves you the most. If you do it, Eldest Uncle Niang will not blame you, nor will she hate Eldest Uncle. Woman, who is willing to push her man to another woman, but for the sake of eldest branch’s descendants, she has to …”
After all, it was this junior. Speaking of the matters in the elder’s room, it was indeed very embarrassing. Qiao Ningdai blushed and acted recklessly. “Auntie Bai definitely didn’t want to, but Auntie Bai didn’t give birth to a son, so she had to stay in the long room and listen to Auntie Bai. Rather, it was better to ruthlessly let her and Auntie Bai … get pregnant earlier, give birth to a son, and get rid of her earlier.” “So, Qiao Qiao, if you want to help your mother, arrange it.”
“Then what should I do?” Qiao Yunxi rolled his dull eyes as he seriously thought about Qiao Ningdai’s words.
“This” Qiao Jinwen’s expression was ugly. She was a girl who hadn’t left the pavilion, how could she know so much?
“How about … drugging?” Qiao Ningdai was very conscious that she was the villain when she was with Qiao Jinwen.
“Drug?”
Qiao Ningdai blushed and explained, “Qian’er, my mother and I went out as guests. The maids in the backyard crawled on the bed as if they had drugged the master, so …”
After stuttering, Qiao Ningdai used her eyes to ask Qiao Xi what she meant.
“But, where can I buy medicine?”
Everyone knew that Qiao Xi was stupid. She was raised by Xue Tao to know nothing but sadness, spring and autumn.
“This … I don’t know either.” Qiao Ningdai shook her head.
“Then what should we do?” Qiao Yunxi finally had an anxious expression on his face.
“Qiao Qiao, don’t worry. Your Fifth Sister and I will think of a way.” Qiao Jinwen comforted Qiao Yunxi, “No matter what, we are sisters. Naturally, we are here to protect you, protect eldest branch, and protect Eldest Uncle and Eldest Uncle Niang.”
“Then I’ll wait for your news.” Qiao Xi’s hand trembled slightly, not knowing if she was anxious or afraid. “I, I still won’t visit grandmother today. I, I…”
After saying that, Qiao Yunxi put on a sobbing voice.
‘”Alright, Qiao Qiao, don’t worry,” Qiao Jinwen comforted again. “You’re not in a good state today. Go back first. Leave the rest to me and your fifth sister. You can’t hide anything in your heart. Be careful when you go back. Don’t let Eldest Uncle Niang see any clues and make things worse.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded helplessly.
Qiao Xi stepped into the carriage with her short legs. Her dark eyes were crystal clear, so how could she be as dull as before?
Qiao Xi blinked her eyes nimbly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her lips. “Uncle Quan, come to ‘All-Seeing Treasure’.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Yiweizhen” is a famous snack shop in Jincheng. It is said that the master came from the palace and specializes in making snacks for noble people. After receiving grace and returning home in fine clothes, he opened a workshop of his own.
The shop was not big and there were many kinds of desserts, but each dessert was only a little bit, and it was sold out. Business was good. Everyday, there were people waiting outside before dawn. Before noon, the things were sold out.
Qiao Xi was also interested and asked Uncle Quan to drive the carriage to try his luck.
“Miss, the door is closed.”
As expected.
Qiao Yunxi wasn’t disappointed.
She lifted the curtain and took a look. She got out of the carriage, followed by Danggui and the youth.
There were many shops on this street. There were several snack shops. Other than the one that was closed, the snacks in other shops were not bad either. Qiao Yunxi was interested and wanted to take a look around.
Uncle Quan drove the carriage and waited at the corner of the street. The rest of the people followed her majestically inside.
“Young miss, the kumquat crisp in this house is not bad. Madam has been coughing a little recently. This is good for Madam’s throat.”
“Yes, let’s go take a look.” Qiao Yunxi excitedly walked in. Before he could cross the threshold, he saw two people coming out. One of them was extremely familiar with his appearance!
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes and sized up the black condom that wrapped herself in the condom. She did not say anything, but her aura suddenly changed. She was scarlet, naked, and naked.
If you lose, you won’t lose, but if you can’t defeat it, you can’t lose in terms of momentum!
Black Condom was also stunned. He didn’t expect to encounter this poisonous woman here.
Her gaze swept across Qiao Yunxi and naturally landed on the youth behind her.
Qiao Yunxi noticed Gu Jinzhen’s movements and felt even more complacent. He raised his neck slightly and pointed his nose at him.
“Poison Woman!” Gu Jinzhen muttered as he raised his foot, wanting to swipe past Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Xi’s smile deepened, “Idiot!”
Qiao Xi was in a good mood when she replied warmly.
Gu Jinzhen paused and turned to face her.
The youth behind Qiao Xi flashed and stood in front of her, looking at Gu Jinzhen with caution.
Under the condom, Gu Jinzhen’s expression was unclear. His half-narrowed peach blossom eyes stayed on the youth for a moment.
Even though Qiao Yunxi couldn’t see his line of sight, he could feel his aura.
He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
“What a pity.”
These three words were spoken to the youth.
She cast another obscure glance at Qiao Xi and the black condom left the snack shop.
“Psychotic.” Qiao Yunxi ventured, bought a jin of kumquat crisp, and got into the carriage.
Returning to the manor, Qiao Yunxi brought the snacks to Gu Jingshu as if he was offering a treasure. After receiving praise from Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu, he happily returned to his bedroom.
“Miss, this is a deed of sale.” Mammy Feng handed over the teenager’s deed of sale.
Qiao Xi glanced at it and handed it to Lian Qiao to put away.
“Where are you from? What’s your name? What are you doing in Jincheng?”
After learning the lines on TV, Qiao Xi began to ask questions.
“Young miss, the little one is from Yuzhou. His name is Wei Nanshui. He came to Jincheng to join his relatives.”
“Where are your relatives?”
The teenager’s eyes immediately turned red. “Relatives … do long-term work in a large family. They don’t have the time or the ability to support a small family.”
Qiao Yunxi immediately understood.
