Pei Zhujin then said, "It's a good thing that Miss Qiao is coming to the capital. The Pei family should do our best to be hospitable. However, I have a suggestion."
"Please speak, young master."
"Wait until those who deserve punishment have been punished and the capital is quiet before you come, Miss Qiao. Otherwise, you will easily be targeted by them."
Qiao Lian'er thought about it and agreed.
"Please let me know the progress, young master. If there is anything I can do to help, I am willing to do my best."
She was able to overcome this hurdle and obtain the glory that belonged to her; the Pei family's help was immense.
Otherwise, being alone in the far south, she really couldn't do much.
Pei Zhujin knew that Qiao Lian'er was a person who could come up with ideas. They were not only friends, but also partners, supporting each other and moving forward hand in hand.
Moreover, she absolutely did not want to owe him anything.
Pei Shijiu was standing by when he heard Qiao Lian'er's voice announcing good news.
Even though he already knew that Qiao Lian'er had become a county princess after many twists and turns, he was still very happy that she thought of him and shared the good news with him at this time.
"Little girl, don't be arrogant. There's also the princess and the noblewoman."
"Once you become a princess, the emperor might bestow a house upon you in the capital, and even inscribe a plaque in your own hand."
"After all, a princess is a very prestigious status, the kind that even high-ranking officials would bow to."
"If you reach the position of princess, it's like being the emperor's own daughter. She's someone he cherishes and her words carry weight. She can even decide some crucial matters and the fate of some important people."
As Pei Shijiu continued talking, Qiao Lian'er's understanding of these three identities became even clearer.
Climbing upwards, moving upwards, was her life's mission.
The first thing Prefect Wei did upon returning to Yuezhou was to share the good news with the Chu family elders.
"Well, the Qiao family is really hospitable. They invited me to stay several times. If I didn't have to accompany those officials from the capital back, I would have definitely had dinner there and celebrated with them," said Wei Biejia.
After accompanying him for a while, he couldn't hold back any longer and said that something had come up at home, so he hurried back ahead of schedule.
After all, the Chu family elders were eagerly anticipating this, their hearts pounding with anxiety.
Grandpa Chu patted his shoulder with a happy expression: "Brother-in-law, you've worked hard. Celebrating here is just as good."
Wei Biejia deliberately put on a stern face: "Fine, didn't we already have a falling out and were going to fight to the death?"
Grandpa Chu laughed loudly: "Just consider it an apology to my brother-in-law, let's call it my fault, okay?"
"Haha, let's go have a drink." Wei Biejia and Old Master Chu put their arms around each other's shoulders and entered the hall.
The two elders were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.
So, at the crack of dawn the next day, when they heard the sound of a carriage outside, which seemed to have stopped, the two elders thought it was Qiao Lian'er who had arrived, so they quickly put on their clothes and went out.
It wasn't Lian'er's carriage, but they wouldn't necessarily ride in the same one every time they came, so the two elders still had high hopes.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Song Ruier, somewhat dazed, climbed down and threw herself onto Old Madam Chu.
"Grandpa, Grandma, save me, save me! Someone is trying to kill me!"
Upon seeing that it was Song Ruier, the joy in their hearts cooled down.
Thinking of what Song Ruier had done to the mother and daughter, and to the Qiao family, Old Madam Chu pushed him away stiffly.
