Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 75 Some People Are Born Bad

"Miss Jiang." Qiao Xi sobbed, "My father... my father has an illegitimate daughter outside! The key is, that illegitimate daughter is about the same age as me. My father... he betrayed my mother when she was pregnant!"

Qiao Xi: Dad, I'm sorry.

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, and seeing that people came in from time to time, she invited Qiao Xi to get in the carriage to talk in detail.

"Sister Qiao, are you mistaken? I'm not speaking for Duke Su, I just don't think he looks like that kind of person."

"It must be right!" Qiao Xi vowed, "I came here today on behalf of my mother to visit the sick old man in the mansion, but I heard someone shouting for help as soon as I got here. I followed the sound and found a girl locked in the woodshed."

When she said this, Qiao Xi started to cry again, looking very pitiful.

Jiang Yueyang handed her the handkerchief, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

Qiao Xi choked and said, "Miss Jiang, you would never have thought that the girl locked in the woodshed actually looks exactly like me! If she has nothing to do with me, how could she look so much like me? She is the child my father had with another woman outside!"

System: [Host, she seems to have mistaken her twin sister for her father's illegitimate daughter.]

[It’s not like that, it’s exactly like that. ]

Jiang Yueyang asked: "Then what? Where is that girl?"

"My father is not a human being!"

Qiao Xi suddenly yelled and Jiang Yueyang was startled.

Qiao Xi: Dad, I'm sorry again.

Duke Su: My girl, please be gentle with your scolding.

"I never thought my father was such an irresponsible man! Not only did he not raise the child, he also let that woman marry her daughter to an old man as a concubine." Qiao Xi looked very angry. "An illegitimate daughter is also a human being, how could he treat her so badly?"

From Jiang Yueyang's perspective, Qiao Xi was angry that her father was cheating outside, but she felt sorry for the innocent "illegitimate daughter".

"So, what are you going to do now?"

Qiao Xi gradually stopped crying, lowered her eyes and said, "I am a child after all, and this kind of thing is not my business. I have already taken the girl away, and I plan to find a suitable time to tell my mother and let her make the decision."

Jiang Yueyang nodded in agreement. As long as they investigated carefully, the matter of replacing the prince with a cat would be discovered.

By then, the illegitimate daughter will become a legitimate daughter, but I don’t know if the girl has been raised badly.

And Young Master Qiao from the Duke's Mansion, is he...

Jiang Yueyang asked: [Xiaogua, do you think Young Master Qiao knows his own life experience? ]

[I know. Madam Su and her daughter are both greedy people. How could they leave such a cash cow untouched? Over the years, they used this incident to threaten Young Master Qiao to give them a lot of money.

Don't think he's pitiful and innocent. When he learned about his life experience, he thought about killing Qiao Xi's sister to eliminate the trouble forever.

But I don’t know if Young Master Qiao had a change of heart or something, he even pulled out the knife but didn’t do it. 】

Qiao Xi paused for a moment while wiping her tears. How could her brother be such a cruel and ruthless person?

If these words didn't come from Jiang Yueyang's heart, she would never believe them.

Because her younger brother has always been well-behaved and filial, and he usually takes good care of his sister.

To be honest, she found it a little hard to accept.

Originally, she wanted to take her sister back and leave her brother at home, but she never expected that her brother would be this kind of person.

Jiang Yueyang sighed: [There is a saying that some people are born bad. Even if they grow up in a warm family like the Qiao family, they can't change the badness in their bones. I am afraid that Sister Qiao's younger sister will also be spoiled. ]

After hearing this, Qiao Xi thought deeply. What should they do if their sister was taught badly?

After a while, she sniffed and said, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Yueyang shook her head slightly, "Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better now that we've said it. Miss Jiang, are we friends now?"

Jiang Yueyang nodded. She couldn’t say no.

"Then can I call you Yue Yang from now on?"

"sure."

Qiao Xi immediately changed her tone upon hearing this, "Yue Yang, I hope you can keep this matter I told you today a secret for me."

"Don't worry, I know everything, and I promise not to tell anyone."

Qiao Xi: Yue Yang doesn't seem to have any doubts, so the matter should have been resolved. I wonder how Dad is doing?

At that time, Duke Su had already kidnapped Nanny Su, and also sent people to capture the midwife.

After understanding the whole story, the Duke's wife wanted to beat Nanny Su and others to death immediately!

Here, Qiao Xi and Jiang Yueyang parted ways and went home.

On the way home, Jiang Yueyang accidentally saw Lu Yunting walking on the street. After thinking about it, she asked Guyu to help her tell him a message.

Guyu took the order and left.

But what Jiang Yueyang didn't know was that this was not a chance encounter, but Lu Yunting was waiting for her on purpose.

"General Lu, my daughter asked me to bring you a message."

Lu Yunting raised his eyes and looked at the carriage not far away. The girl was lifting the curtain and staring at him without any concealment.

"What did she want to tell me?"

"My girl would like to ask General Lu what gift he would like to receive?"

Xu An: ??? When did you meet a girl behind my back?

Lu Yunting did not answer, but walked to the window of the carriage, then took out a peculiarly shaped whistle from his waist and handed it to Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang took it hesitantly, "For me?"

"Yeah." Lu Yunting responded in a low voice, "Miss Jiang doesn't seem to be safe. You can blow it when you are in danger."

"Blow it and you'll come?"

Lu Yunting didn't expect her to ask so directly. After a moment of shock, he said, "It may not be me."

"Is that so?" She asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

"In the past few days since I returned to Beijing, I have frequently heard people discussing my father's death. Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that something is indeed fishy, so I want to investigate it."

When Jiang Yueyang heard this, she suddenly remembered the murderer with a special fate that Xiaogua mentioned.

[Xiaogua, you really don’t know who the murderer is? ]

Hearing Jiang Yueyang ask Xiaogua this, Lu Yunting felt a chill in his heart. Even she didn't know?

System: [Host, you have already asked this question last time. The other party has a special fate, and I can't see his face clearly.]

【Think about it carefully, maybe there are some details you haven't noticed. 】

The system thought about it seriously, and after a moment it said in surprise, "The man's walking posture is a little wrong, he seems to be a little lame, and he is left-handed!"

Lame? Left-handed?

The Lu family army went to the battlefield all year round, and there were many lame soldiers and generals, and quite a few left-handed people.

This is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Yueyang glanced at Lu Yunting from the corner of her eye, [How should I remind him of this information? ]

Lu Yunting: Thank you, I already know.

"Miss Jiang, I'll take my leave first."

"Oh, okay."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yueyang watched him turn around and leave in the opposite direction with Xu An.
