The letter of divorce was quickly written and thrown at Qiao Xinhua.
Qiao Xinhua grabbed the letter of divorce, her hand trembling violently. Her eyelids rolled back, and she fainted.
“Young masters, County Princess, Qiao Xinhua is no longer a member of the Liu family. She has committed such a grave mistake. We are handing her over to you. You may punish her however you wish,” Master Liu said respectfully.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to give up, Master Liu sighed inwardly.
“When Qiao Xinhua committed the crime, she was a daughter-in-law of the Liu family. I failed to supervise and discipline her properly. If the two young masters and the county magistrate want to punish me, I have no complaints. I only ask that you spare my wife and son.”
As he spoke, he adopted an attitude of resignation to being dealt with.
What they wanted was precisely this attitude from the Liu family.
“From now on, Liu Bianxiu should strictly manage his family. This time, we will let bygones be bygones.”
With a wave of his hand, Pei Zhujin tied Qiao Xinhua up, and the group returned.
During the journey, Qiao Xinhua woke up and glared at Qiao Lian'er hatefully: "You ruined my family and my life. I will haunt you even as a ghost."
As soon as she finished speaking, her mouth was immediately gagged, and she was slapped twice, leaving her face red and swollen.
"What do you plan to do with her?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
“Little girl, she sent someone to assassinate you. The decision is up to you,” Pei Shijiu said.
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "Why not send them to the Dali Temple and have the whole family executed in the autumn? It would be a kind of 'fulfillment'."
"That's a good idea," Pei Zhujin said with a smile, adding that it was far more painful than simply killing someone.
He ordered his men to send Qiao Xinhua to the Dali Temple, where a verdict would be handed down immediately once the case was explained.
“Someone witnessed what happened tonight, and it will spread tomorrow. Even if someone has other ideas in the future, they will have to consider the consequences,” Pei Shijiu said.
"Things should be more peaceful from now on."
Pei Zhujin thought about it and agreed. All those who came to provoke Miss Qiao, whether it was the last time they traveled thousands of miles to Datian Village to steal credit or this time they attempted an assassination, were dealt with swiftly and decisively.
No matter what kind of power the other party had, they were all defeated in front of Miss Qiao.
People in the capital are adept at judging the situation, and now that Miss Qiao has the Emperor's favor, naturally few dare to act rashly.
Not long after returning to the Pei family, news came that Qiao Xinhua had been imprisoned and was being held with the Qiao family.
On the table was a map of Qingfeng Plain's fiefdom, along with a large stack of photos. Qiao Lian'er compared them and marked them with colored pens.
She went to see it in person today and secretly used the camera in her room to take pictures of the important terrain and key locations, and then printed a whole bunch of them.
Now, she wants to create a more detailed and comprehensive map.
Once she was familiar with all the locations and could connect them to each other, she began to draw.
Working late into the night, I finally finished drawing the new map.
Within the fiefdom, there were many villages, each quite large in area, with vast fertile fields.
Qiao Lian'er pondered that if she could open up a market in the capital city with the convenient transportation that could reach the whole country, she would make more money than before.
But this is right under the emperor's nose, and the origin of those goods needs a more convincing explanation, since they were also transported from her place, and in fact, her place is a major stronghold.
If the people in the fiefdom were to plant these crops, it would be a good smokescreen.
With the addition of goods imported from Xiyan Kingdom, the quantity becomes acceptable.
Now that spring has arrived, it's the perfect time to do these farming tasks.
The next day, she sent the Pei brothers to take Dacheng and Zhizhi out to play while she went to Qingfeng Plain to persuade the people there.
