Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Untie a Knot in One’s Heart
“Grandmother, why do you have any objections to the Changfang and want to vent your anger on Qiao Qiao?” Qiao Xi asked carefully with a lonely expression.
Xue Tao said with a stiff expression, “Because of the bad rumors outside, Qiao Qiao also knows that you moved to the manor because the East courtyard is going to be renovated. Your mother moved here to take care of you for convenience.” “But the people outside don’t know. They will misunderstand. They think that there is a conflict between our rooms. That’s why your father and mother brought you here.”
“Then just say it clearly. Those people won’t misunderstand, and grandmother won’t be angry anymore.” Said Qiao Yunxi, taking it for granted.
Xue Tao’s expression became somewhat tense, “Yeah, as long as you explain it clearly.”
‘”Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao, mother, and father are staying at Fourth Uncle’s inn together. This way, grandmother won’t be angry, and the people outside won’t randomly guess. However, what’s the difference between staying at Fourth Uncle’s inn and staying at the manor? We still moved out.” Qiao Yunxi asked sincerely.
Xue Tao’s expression became even uglier.
If it was only Qiao Xi, she would naturally fool her like this, and at the same time, break off the relationship between her and Gu Jingshu’s mother and daughter.
But today, Gu Jingshu was sitting opposite, how could she dare to instigate Qiao Yunxi like this?
“Qiao Qiao, your Fifth Sister said that with good intentions. She didn’t want people outside to misunderstand. Fourth Aunt thinks it’s more convenient for you to live in the manor. After all, this is your mother’s dowry.”
‘”But grandmother” Qiao Yunxi buried his head and hesitated.
Xue Tao said stiffly, “Don’t worry, your grandmother is a sensible elder. She won’t anger you because of this. As for the rumors outside, Fourth Aunt will help you explain them clearly.”
“Thank you, Fourth Aunt.” Because of the uncertainty in his heart, Qiao Yunxi’s expression was sullen and very sad.
Yes, this was the Qiao Xi she was familiar with.
Cowardice, cowardice, indecisiveness.
“Alright, Qiao Qiao, don’t think about those messy things. Have a good exam and get a good ranking. Fourth Aunt has a reward.”
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes lit up and he raised his nose. “Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao won’t disappoint you.”
“You,” Xue Tao laughed and shook her head, “your father specially built a study room for you so that you can study peacefully. When your small courtyard is renovated, your third sister will go sit down.”
“That’s for sure. Daddy said that after the East courtyard is renovated, it will definitely be the most powerful courtyard in Jincheng!”
Concealing the jealousy in her eyes, the smile on Xue Tao’s face became even brighter.
Gu Jingshu looked coldly at Xue Tao’s hypocrisy.
In the past, she was very gratified.
She was happier than anyone that someone loved Qiao Qiao so much.
However, after witnessing the treatment Qiao Qiao received behind her back, she had a new understanding of Qiao Family’s shamelessness. She did not interrupt Qiao Qiao’s words and only watched Xue Tao put in a lot of effort to act.
“Fourth aunt, what are you doing here today?” He finally got to the point.
“Of course it’s a good thing. Ask your mother.” Xue Tao sold it.
Qiao Yunxi looked at Gu Jingshu.
Gu Jingshu said, “Your fourth aunt is here to send you a post.”
“What thread?”
“It’s from Marquis Zhen Yuan’s wife. It’s about to be Laba. The Marquis Zhen Yuan’s mansion will serve porridge at the Earth Temple as usual. Marquis Zhen Yuan’s wife invites you to join us.”
“Me?” Qiao Yunxi pointed at his nose and asked in surprise.
Not to mention her, even Xue Tao and Old Madame Qiao didn’t understand why Marquis Zhen Yuan treated Qiao Yunxi differently.
In Old Madam Qiao’s eyes, Qiao Jinwen was the most obedient, sensible, and sensible child. If she wanted to invite her, she should also invite Qiao Jinwen. Who was Qiao Yunxi?
According to Old Madame Qiao’s original intention, she wanted to withhold this post.
However, Marquis Zhen Yuan’s status was noble. The Qiao Clan was just a merchant, so how could they dare to go against the rules of the Marquis Zhen Yuan’s Manor?
Only with extreme reluctance did Xue Tao make a trip.
Xue Tao was also selfish.
Although he didn’t know why Qiao Yunxi was in Old Madame Lu’s eyes, he could be considered to have a way to get close to noble people. Qiao Yunxi had always been close to her and obeyed her orders. As long as she fooled around with a few words, this idiot would give her an opportunity with both hands. In addition, this idiot had always admired the Old Madame. The most envious thing was that Qiao Jinwen could get the Old Madame’s favor. As long as she used the Old Madame’s favor as bait, she would not be able to handle a child?
Gu Jingshu was also surprised, but she was more worried.
“Old Madame Lu must have called for you because of what happened last time. Qiao Qiao, you don’t need to have a psychological burden. You’ve always been a well-behaved child. As long as you follow Old Madame Lu obediently and work quickly, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded without confidence.
“Qiao Qiao, why don’t you go back to Qiao Manor these few days? Ask your grandmother more and learn more rules from her.” Xue Tao was still somewhat worried, afraid that Qiao Yunxi would offend the noble.
“Qiao Qiao has learned the rules very well. There’s no need to be so troublesome.” Gu Jingshu directly refused.
After sending Xue Tao away, the mother and daughter were finally able to talk alone.
“Qiao Qiao” For a moment, Gu Jingshu didn’t know how to speak.
‘”Mother, I know what you want to say.” Qiao Yunxi peeled an orange and handed it to Gu Jingshu. “In the past, Qiao Qiao was ignorant and kept her words in her heart. If outsiders said more, she would be stupefied and think too much. Thinking about it made her think twice. “In addition, I am young and have poor discrimination, so I am easily influenced by other people’s words. As time goes by, I neglect the people around me that I should really care about and become someone else’s chess piece.”
“Qiao Qiao” Gu Jingshu choked up.
She had always wanted to have a good talk with Qiao Qiao, but she was afraid that if she did not grasp her limits properly, the relationship between mother and daughter, which was originally not strong, would become even fainter.
During this period of time, she had been very cautious. She had to be on guard against the other rooms causing discord, and she had to think about how to get close to her daughter. For a while, there was no progress. She was more anxious than anyone else.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to directly expose the ugly thoughts of those few rooms, but she was also afraid that her daughter’s dependence on Fourth Room and Xue Tao was too strong. Instead, her words were counterproductive.
Because there was something wrong in her heart, she could not eat, could not sleep well, and her spirits were much weaker.
Now, hearing Qiao Yunxi’s kind words, Gu Jingshu, who had mixed feelings, immediately blushed.
“Mother, Qiao Qiao won’t make any mistakes in the past. Qiao Qiao will work with her mother and father to protect our eldest branch and not let anyone bully her!”
“Qiao Qiao!”
Qiao Xingbang’s voice came from the door, interrupting the mother-daughter conversation.
Gu Jingshu rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Do you really know how to pick a time? Didn’t you see that she was in contact with Qiao Qiao?
Qiao Xingbang, who was immersed in his emotions, had mixed feelings.
How much grievance did he have to suffer before he could say such a thing?
How much grievance did he have to endure to reach this stage at such a young age?
Qiao Xingbang held Qiao Xi in his arms and said, “Qiao Qiao, you’re not wrong. It was father and mother who did not do well.”
Qiao Xi uncomfortably moved twice.
“Daddy thought that as long as you do business properly and develop Qiao Family well, you will be given mother and daughter protection. But in the end, some people have ambitions.”
“I can’t blame you,” Gu Jingshu said softly. “You are the eldest son. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy. Master’s expectations for you are so high. You can’t help but feel helpless in that position. It’s my fault. If my body were to win, Qiao Qiao wouldn’t have followed Fourth Fang all the time, nor would her temperament … Speaking of which, it’s also our fortune to have such a sensible child. There are many things that she can figure out without us teaching her. Now, she has to comfort us in return. There is a price to pay for such growth. If we do well enough, how can our children bear it at such a young age? Xing Bang, there are some things that need to be changed. ”
Gu Jingshu said vaguely, but Qiao Xingbang understood what she meant. He smiled and said, “The matters in the backyard are all yours. I support whatever you want to do.” I am the eldest son of Qiao Family, responsible for the prosperity of Qiao Family, but I am also a husband and father, I am responsible to my wife and daughter. In the end, eldest branch is my foundation. In the future, we will be separated sooner or later. To my mother and brothers, I think I have a clear conscience. I will not shirk my responsibility. I will shoulder my responsibility, but I have no obligation. They have their own family, so I can’t be the eldest brother. I have to support their wives and daughters. ”
It was rare for such a good atmosphere to exist. The family finally opened their hearts and spoke clearly.
Gu Jingshu felt much more relaxed when she felt a big problem in her heart.
Gu Jingshu stroked Qiao Yunxi’s head, her heart sour.
She was gratified that her daughter was sensible.
However, such a sensible person had paid a price.
“Mother, father, I want to settle my daughter’s matter myself.”
Qiao Xingbang remained silent, but Gu Jingshu said worriedly, “Qiao Qiao, you …”
“Mother, is it possible for us juniors to still need elders to come forward? Grandmother can’t explain it.”
According to the old witch’s favor for Qiao Jinwen, the few children’s fighting style had always been at the disadvantage of others. How could Qiao Jinwen be angry?
If the elders interfered in the affairs between the children, the old witch did not know how to jump.
Qiao Xi didn’t want Gu Jingshu to be upset because of these things.
Qiao Jinwen took it from her, and she would take it back with her!
“Although my daughter is not smart, she is not so stupid as to be hopeless. If I really can’t make up my mind, my daughter will discuss it with my mother.”
Gu Jingshu still wanted to persuade him, but when she received the look from Qiao Xingbang, she turned around and said, “Since Qiao Qiao wants to test her skills, then mother will let you play. If you need anything, just let mother know.” However, we have to agree first. You can play whatever you want, but you can’t joke around with your own safety. There are many ways to achieve your goal. Mother will not agree to the method of killing 1,000 enemies and damaging 800 oneself. ”
“Mother, don’t worry. Daughter promises you that she won’t use her own safety as bait, nor will she do anything that will harm her body and reputation.”
With Qiao Yunxi’s assurance, Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang nodded in relief.
After giving her a few more instructions, only Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu remained in the room.
