The emperor must be suspicious of the Qiao family.
So she waited in a teahouse on the way out of the palace, and finally waited for Qiao Lian'er's carriage to pass by.
"Third Brother, look at Qiao Lian'er's appearance. Did the Emperor scold him?" Sun Hetang said with great delight.
Young Master Sun stared into the carriage. Qiao Lian'er leaned against the soft couch with her eyes closed, but her brows were furrowed.
"He certainly looks preoccupied."
“The Qiao family is in trouble, so of course she’s worried,” Sun Hetang said.
"The Qiao family wanted to harm Fifth Sister, and they went to great lengths to frame her. They never expected that the fire would backfire on them. They deserved it. The Emperor was wise in the end and would not let the Qiao family lead them by the nose."
Sun Hetang raised his chin: "The painting was done by Qiao Zhizhi, and the poem was inscribed by her. If such news spreads everywhere, the Qiao family will have to take the blame. No matter what, this crime will not fall on anyone else's head."
But Qiao Lian'er was still released, which means that the emperor has not yet made a final decision. She still needs to add fuel to the fire and make the Qiao family doomed.
"Third Brother, you'll help me with everything, won't you?" Sun Hetang looked at the Third Young Master Sun eagerly.
“Yes, Fifth Sister, the Qiao family has ruined your marriage and now they want to destroy you and take your life. This is something I cannot tolerate,” said the Third Young Master Sun through gritted teeth.
He had made concessions and tried to befriend Qiao Lian'er, but he never expected the Qiao family to be so ruthless.
Sun Hetang told us about a plan.
Young Master Sun was taken aback: "Isn't it a bit dangerous to do this? What if we drag the Sun family down with us?"
“If we did it earlier, there would indeed be risks, but now that Qiao Lian’er has been summoned to the palace by the Emperor for questioning and investigation, the Qiao family is burdened with suspicion. If we add fuel to the fire, we can push the Qiao family into an abyss of no return.”
Young Master Sun thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll be discreet. If the Qiao family really falls in our hands, we'll be credited the most in front of Grandfather and Father."
The thought of standing tall and proud in front of his brothers filled the Third Young Master Sun with anticipation.
Lin Songyan was worried that Qiao Zhizhi would be under psychological pressure, so he would come to keep her company every day.
"The Lin family doesn't seem to have any ideas, does they?"
The two strolled through a garden, Qiao Zhizhi said.
"Father said he trusts the Qiao family." Lin Songyan looked relaxed. He had already met with his father, who said that these unfounded rumors were not to be believed.
Now that the Lin family and the Qiao family are engaged, the Lin family must firmly stand on the Qiao family's side.
Because the lesson learned from the Ouyang family was still fresh in everyone's minds, the outcome only proved that the Ouyang family had ulterior motives.
In this way, what Master Ouyang said became a joke that was untenable and could not withstand scrutiny.
Qiao Zhizhi smiled knowingly.
At times like these, it's easiest to see what's truly in someone's heart.
This garden was built by the imperial family. It is very large, with a wide variety of flowers, trees and shrubs. It is open to everyone as a place for leisure and recreation, adding to the lively atmosphere of the capital, so it attracts many visitors.
Several well-dressed women walked towards them, their faces showing regret and confusion.
"How could the peony buds that had just opened wither? We've never encountered this situation in previous years."
"Yes, large areas have withered and died, it's such a pity. Could it be a problem with the soil?"
"That's impossible. The soil and water were the same before. Sigh, we came here excitedly because we heard that Dongyu was the first to open, but here we are."
