Qiao Lian'er could imagine that, after all, the Pei family had been lying in wait in the capital, making long-term preparations.
Furthermore, facing imminent death, the Qiao family, driven to desperation, would not let their relatives off easily and instead produced fatal evidence.
Generals Xu and Lu also testified, recounting in detail to the Emperor what had happened in the Southern Kingdom.
The scheme of colluding to fraudulently claim military merits quickly became clear.
"The verdict will be delivered within three days," Pei Zhujin said. "Miss Qiao can start preparing to come to the capital."
The journey to the capital was long and arduous, so Qiao Lian'er planned to take Da Cheng and Qiao Zhizhi with her.
Lingyin is almost five months pregnant, so Da Yong can't go without worry. Qiao Zhizhi is young, full of curiosity about everything, and lively. She can broaden her horizons and liven up the atmosphere.
Before leaving, Qiao Lian'er went to say goodbye to General Guan's family.
“Song’er and Xue’er take you as their role model, and they will also become outstanding people in the future,” Guan Yuqin said with satisfaction.
With an older sister like that leading the way, the two children will never go astray, no matter what.
"My sister is so amazing! She went to the capital and is going to bring back some fun things for us," Guan Xue said.
"Yes, and you should also tell us what the capital is like." Guan Song also looked longingly at the question.
Qiao Lian'er stroked their soft little heads and agreed to each one.
"This time we're going to the capital, and the guards we used before won't do."
General Guan specially assigned his ten most skilled cavalry guards to escort him, and also sent twenty agile first-class bodyguards to follow.
"They are all carefully selected experts, and I believe they can escort you safely to the capital."
In addition, General Guan also prepared enough silver for these people so as not to trouble Qiao Lian'er.
Qiao Lian'er was deeply moved.
The Guan family treated her as family; she had three homes.
On the eve of their departure for the capital, they received definite news.
The Qiao and Qin families in the capital were both severely punished, some demoted and others exiled. The prestige of the two families was greatly weakened, and they no longer posed a threat to the Pei family.
As dawn broke, after breakfast, the carriage was ready to depart.
The two elders of the Qiao family repeatedly urged them to be careful on the journey.
After all, this trip would take more than twenty days round trip, and if they stayed for a month, it would be two months.
"When we arrive, send a letter back," Qiao Yunni said.
She studies to read whenever she has time and goes to bed very late every day. Now, she can basically understand ordinary daily letters.
Everyone else who was willing to learn learned quite a few characters.
Qiao Xi'er made the most progress under Mu Xinghe's tutelage. Her handwriting became more and more beautiful, and she even started practicing calligraphy and reading books.
The villagers all say that the Qiao family is different from before. It's not just that they've become rich and powerful, or that the men have been promoted and Lian'er has become a county magistrate. They also exude a refined air and speak more elegantly and politely.
These past two days, Qiao Lian'er has been busy making preparations everywhere.
