Because of the involvement of the Qiao family, the Qiao family's second brother was once demoted, but he performed well and resolutely cut ties with the Qiao family's third brother. Within a year, he was promoted again.
His severing ties with the Qiao family was merely a matter of self-preservation, a stance taken for the sake of his family's interests.
But as brothers, how could they remain indifferent to the destruction of Master Qiao's family?
It's worth noting that this conspiracy was actually devised by the three brothers together.
Just as Qiao Lian'er was about to speak, Pei Zhujin chuckled, "Little brother, are you going to use your special skills again?"
It was only then that I realized that the two brothers seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve done this kind of thing, but I haven’t gotten rusty at all. My skills are much better than before.” Pei Shijiu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"You're planning to—" Qiao Lian'er realized what was going on: "Won't it be dangerous to do this?"
"What danger could there be? As long as you are skilled enough, you don't need to worry about any danger."
Pei Shijiu sighed with feigned seriousness: "Some things, if done openly and honestly, won't go smoothly. You still have to know some other tricks."
"However, I need to choose a convenient time to do this, little girl, you'll have to wait a while."
After saying goodbye to the two brothers, Qiao Lian'er returned to the house and loaded the 30-pound durian onto the carriage.
"Lian'er, how is it?" Qiao Xi'er came to her side, touching her belly.
"That person was punished; his face was swollen from being slapped, and he can no longer guard the examination hall." Qiao Lian'er didn't mention the turmoil that had befallen her.
"That's great." Qiao Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "The people from the military headquarters didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
“Sister Xi’er, this is the capital city, under the emperor’s nose, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”
Qiao Lian'er delivered the large durian to the palace, and this time, the emperor wanted to see it in person.
Upon seeing the 30-pound durian, so perfectly shaped and with every bulging part exhibiting astonishing uniformity, the emperor couldn't help but marvel.
This was truly the lotus of his dreams.
"How long does it take to get one of these large durians?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, it will take at least half a year, and waiting one or two years is common," Qiao Lian'er said.
The emperor nodded; the rarer something was, the more it highlighted his imperial dignity.
Thirty pounds of durian, which could only exist in the dreams of the wealthy and powerful, appeared before him.
“Indeed rare.” He looked satisfied and waved his hand: “Send it to the freezer.”
It takes at least six months to get one, so of course we can't rush to eat it; we should observe it a few more times first.
Seeing that Qiao Lian'er was standing, the emperor instructed Eunuch Qi to offer her a seat.
Qiao Lian'er had been to the palace many times, but this was the first time the emperor had bestowed a seat upon her.
Could it be because of this big durian?
In fact, the emperor did this because the things he had heard in his mind had actually happened in reality.
Looking back now, he still finds it a bit unbelievable.
The emperor felt that since he was the Son of Heaven, it was perhaps divine intervention for someone to deliver medicine to him in this way, or perhaps it was a special connection between Qiao Lian'er and him.
Whatever the reason, this girl deserves even more attention than before.
