Qiao Lian'er did not expect that after using the object they touched together a few times, it would suddenly become imbued with a bit of spiritual energy, allowing it to slightly transmit the thoughts of people far away.
This is a good thing.
Otherwise, she would have to contact the Pei brothers, but even if they had something to say to her, she might not be able to get there in time.
“Brother Pei,” Qiao Lian’er said.
Pei Zhujin was a little surprised that the situation had taken a new turn. He couldn't wait to tell Miss Qiao, but he knew he could only wait.
After silently repeating the command several times, Miss Qiao's voice came from the other end of the line.
Is this what tacit understanding is?
"I'm here." Pei Zhujin was used to it now and didn't lie down on the couch anymore. Instead, she sat by the desk, completely relaxed.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"The portrait and other documents have been received and will soon be delivered to the generals. General Guan's cavalry is on its way back."
"This is a very important item. I will take good care of it. Miss Qiao, please rest assured."
"The Pei family has also been unsealed. The Emperor's verdict has just been handed down: the Pei family is innocent, but my father was negligent and has been demoted one rank."
"Starting tomorrow, attendance at court will resume."
"That's good." Qiao Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief: "The Pei family suffered a little loss, but I believe that one day, they will be even more prosperous than before, because the Pei family has withstood the test. If you want to inherit the crown, you must first bear the weight."
In truth, no crime is no crime, but the emperor still had to punish him, in order to give himself a way out and at the same time to give the Pei family a warning. This is a common tactic used by monarchs.
After some time has passed and manpower is needed, or perhaps the Pei family has reassured the emperor, they will either be reinstated to their original positions or given even more.
Those who serve should be grateful.
"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Qiao," Pei Zhujin said gently.
Soon, his tone turned cold again.
"We can't let the Qiao family in the capital get away with this. Although the Pei family never provokes anyone, they are not to be bullied. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the Pei family must bear the corresponding price."
“Young Master Pei, don’t worry. The entire Qiao family in the capital is involved in this lie, and none of them can escape responsibility.”
"When the truth comes out, it concerns military achievements, so how could the Emperor let it go easily?"
Pei Zhujin understood.
Yes, this matter is actually the same one as Ms. Qiao receiving credit for her work.
"Now that the blockade has been lifted, I am free to come and go. I will investigate the connection between Uncle Qiao and Second Uncle Qiao and this matter. If there is any evidence that can be presented in a clear manner, that would be even better. If not, I will try my best to drag them into it. No matter what, I will smear them with mud."
Pei Zhujin and Qiao Lian'er were discussing important matters, while Pei Shijiu stood aside, already unfolding the portrait.
This was a life-size portrait. His gaze fell upon it, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment: "Tsk, the little girl has grown taller; she's starting to look like a young lady."
Her features no longer had a completely childish feel, but rather a delicate charm that resembled that of a young woman. Moreover, she was clearly the kind of young woman with a healthy complexion, high spirits, and remarkable intelligence.
They can strategize and win battles from afar.
Although the person is in the portrait, he exudes a compelling aura.
Pei Zhujin finished speaking and looked at the portrait, smiling as he said, "Little brother, do you remember the bet you made with Miss Qiao?"
Pei Shijiu certainly hadn't forgotten that if Miss Qiao had grown taller when they met again in two years, she would at least be the same age as his peers, and he would have to walk on his head. It had only been half a year since they last met, and Miss Qiao had already grown quite a bit taller.
