Chapter 366, The Easiest Little Princess
Wait until the child dies at birth.
Then they can let the Secretary Qiao submit a memorial to the court and ask His Majesty or the Ninth Prince for an explanation.
This explanation is nothing to the royal family.
But if the Qiao family makes good use of it, they may rise to the top and settle down in the capital with their family.
Thinking of this, Old Master Qiao stroked his beard and nodded.
"Old Master, Princess Ximing came to blow up the baby tower. Is the law really going to be passed? The Duke didn't say anything about this!" Old
Lady Qiao suddenly thought of this.
Since it was the emperor's will, why didn't the emperor send an official to issue the order openly?
How could a little princess, who was not weaned at the age of two and a half, be allowed to come.
Don't her parents care?
It's just like a child playing house.
"Don't worry, didn't the officials of the Duke of the State not vote for her to pass? There is still some time before the final review. As long as the law is not passed, she has no reason to blow up the abandoned tower."
"Besides, the Duke of the State supported us to build the abandoned tower. With his support behind us, the new law will not be passed. Don't worry."
Grandpa Qiao said slowly.
"But now, Princess Ximing is determined to blow up the tower. What should we do?" asked Grandma Qiao.
"Delay her first. Isn't it difficult to control a two-and-a-half-year-old girl?"
At least, among the four of them, the easiest one to control is the little princess.
Only two and a half years old, he seems to have a lot of childish temper.
He doesn't have any ability.
Can a two and a half year old kid really make trouble in the Qiao Mansion?
In the inner courtyard of the Qiao family.
Xia Wanwan was carried to Zhong Youling's main house.
Secretary Qiao helped his wife to the inner room to change clothes, ready to receive the blessing of Princess Ximing.
At the moment, there are only Xia Wanwan and Zhong Youyan here.
Xia Wanwan raised her face and asked Zhong Youyan, "Sister Zhong, can I ask you something before I bless you?"
"Go ahead!" Zhong Youyan touched her little head and carried her to sit on the stool.
"The Qiao family's elders are so strange, they seem to care a lot about your sister's baby, but..." Xia Wanwan put her thumb in her mouth, tilted her head and continued,
"But, when I said I wanted to bless the baby, they didn't seem very happy!"
And when she came in just now, the elders didn't care about Zhong Youling's body at all, and refused to let her go back.
Not to mention for the pregnant woman, even for the baby, they should be more cautious.
Zhong Youling has been married for a few years, and this is the first child, that is, the first grandson of the Qiao family. The Qiao family's elders don't care about their first grandson at all.
It's really strange that a family that values bloodline would do this.
This is too strange.
Zhong Youyan looked around and sighed slowly,
"To be honest with you, these sisters have never told anyone, but more than 20 years ago, the Qiao family was just a farmer who made a living by farming, and they could only live in a village on the border of Hezhou."
"Later, it is said that the family's farmhouse was bought by someone, and the Qiao family became rich. Grandpa Qiao moved into Hezhou City with his family and became an ordinary merchant family, but their assets at that time were not even well-known in Hezhou."
"When the abandoned infant tower was built ten years ago, Grandpa Qiao actually took out a huge sum of money to donate to build it. Later, it was said that Grandpa Qiao had infinite merits and was a great philanthropist. The Qiao family's business also became better and better, and they became richer and richer."
"But even if it's getting better and better, it's still far behind our Zhong family."
"Five years ago, my sister and brother-in-law got together because of a business deal, but the Zhong family elders forced the Zhong family's daughter to get engaged to the Jing'an Marquis's mansion." "My
sister eloped with her brother-in-law regardless of everything, and was expelled from the Zhong family at that time. She gave up all her glory and wealth and severed ties with her parents."
"At the beginning, the Qiao family elders treated my sister very well, with meticulous care and concern. Later, when I heard that my sister was expelled and had no property to rely on, everything changed."
"They said that they minded that my sister wasn't pregnant after marrying in. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that it's because my sister doesn't have the Zhong family as a backer, and they feel that my sister is not worthy of Lord Qiao, who is pursuing a career in politics."
As Zhong Youyan spoke, she frowned again, revealing a trace of heartache.
"But how could they know that when my brother-in-law took the imperial examination for the last time, the two elders of the Qiao family ignored him and even ignored him because of his failure in the previous exams."
"So my brother-in-law decided to find a deserted place, study hard, and vowed to give my sister a future!" "
My sister helped him settle down, accompanied him to study day and night, cooked for him and washed clothes, and encouraged him every time my brother-in-law encountered difficulties." "
Even because of financial difficulties, my sister stayed up all night until her eyes were damaged. She embroidered handkerchiefs to sell, and was chased and insulted by street vendors on the street. The vendors also snatched her handkerchiefs. She was always introverted and gentle, so she hid in a corner and cried secretly, not daring to let my brother-in-law know, for fear of affecting his studies."
"Fortunately, my brother-in-law passed the exam in the end, and the two finally got their reward after all the hard work."
"Later, I was given the title of Princess and came here to support my sister. Only then did those two old people dare not be so presumptuous!"
"The life my sister led a few years ago was simply not a life for a human being. Even the only bell orchid my mother gave her was maliciously killed by the son of housekeeper Qiao. The two elders also protected the child and did not let my brother-in-law deal with him! My sister was sad for a long time."
"Fortunately, not long after, she finally got pregnant with this child, and she felt a little comforted." Zhong Youyan
slowly told these things.
To be honest, she didn't like her sister to do this,
and her family was not so heartless to her sister. They didn't help at that time just to let her give up and go home to admit her mistakes.
Bell orchids are what her sister has loved since she was a child.
So her mother searched all over Jiangnan and found the most expensive varieties and the most beautiful colors for her.
After the Zhong family escaped from the control of the elders, the family began to contact her sister.
Zhong Youyan accepted the Queen Mother's arrangement and came.
This is the situation. As for why the two elders of the Zhong family don't care about the baby in the elder sister's belly, it is probably because they look down on the elder sister and think that she is not worthy of continuing their offspring. The more
Zhong Youyan thought about it, the angrier she became. But this was someone else's family after all. In order not to embarrass her sister, she did not use her status as a princess to embarrass them. She
could only swallow her anger.
At the door, Qiao Zhishu was hiding aside. When he heard this, his eyes were red.
It turned out that his wife had suffered so much grievances for him.
When he decided to elope, he had no fame yet. In order to prevent Ling'er from losing, he studied hard. However,
because he failed in the imperial examinations several times, his parents completely rejected him and asked him to remarry the daughter of an official so that he could climb up through the relationship.
He refused to do so.
So his parents cut off his financial support.
