"I'm afraid I'll have to bother you." Ye Liang said somewhat awkwardly.
"Why are you so reserved? Be more outgoing. We members of the Qiao family won't eat people." Qiao Dameng patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Lan agreed with Da Meng and nodded, signaling Ye Liang to go to the Qiao family.
When Ye Liang was at home, his sister told him that she had been rescued by the Qiao family. Seeing how readily Qiao Dameng agreed, he also agreed.
Qiao Lian'er watched the whole process, and the matter was considered to be coming to an end.
The initiative has now completely fallen to Princess Shouguang.
After the plan was implemented, apart from Qiao Dameng's unexpected appearance to save people this time, the Qiao family had not made any significant presence.
The Jiang family certainly didn't expect her to be involved.
She had originally intended to intervene, but after calculating that Da Meng's reaction time would be sufficient, she decided to let Da Meng make a good impression on the Jiang family and gain their favor, so that future good things between the two of them wouldn't require much effort.
This can be seen as her giving Da Meng a chance.
Sure enough, Master Jiang looked at Qiao Dameng with a hint of admiration. On his way from the Zhong family, he heard that Jiang Shuxue's horse had gone out of control and rushed towards a carriage, but was fortunately stopped by another horse.
Although Jiang Shuxue was injured, it was better than her killing someone in public. Otherwise, if she were impeached by the censors, she would also be affected.
Jiang Shuxue, who was sent back to the Jiang family ahead of schedule, survived thanks to the efforts of several doctors from the family.
Unable to leave the courtyard, Madam Wei was frantic with worry. When she heard that Ye Qiao had returned, she confirmed the news over and over again. It was like a bolt from the blue; she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"What? Ye Qiao, she's not, she's not already—"
Mrs. Wei supported her head weakly with her hands, her thoughts in disarray, her eyes filled with terror.
The letter she received said that Ye Qiao was completely dead, and she believed it without a doubt.
In the blink of an eye, everything has changed.
What exactly went wrong?
A thought flashed through Mrs. Wei's mind: if it were true, then she and her two children were doomed, with no hope left.
Don't even think about a dowry, don't even think about marriage, and don't even think about inheriting the family business.
All her years of painstaking efforts and planning have come to naught, and all her efforts have been in vain.
Everything was so inexplicable and unexpected, as if an invisible hand was pushing things along in the dark. Thinking about it made me break out in a cold sweat.
Mrs. Wei fainted and soon developed a high fever. She lay in bed with her eyes closed, talking incoherently while waving her hands in the air.
His mouth was full of things like, "Didn't they kill Ye Qiao? She's clearly dead." "Why didn't the eldest young master take the dementia medication?" "Princess Shouguang was almost poisoned to death, how is she still alive?" "Why didn't they drown that bastard?"
Again, it's about "keeping things under control with Young Master Zhong, don't reveal Shuxue's existence," "Don't admit it, don't!" and "It's all gone, all the dowry is gone, how can Shuxue marry into the Zhong family?" "My daughter, my son, where is their future? How am I supposed to live?"
The servants in the room were terrified, their faces ashen. How could they say such things?
But no matter how they called out to Madam Wei, she wouldn't wake up; instead, her condition worsened.
The old nanny who had served Madam Wei for many years sensed something was wrong. She turned around and saw Lord Jiang standing at the entrance of the room. She didn't know how long he had been standing there or how much he had heard.
The old woman's scalp tingled instantly.
