Chapter 242: Broken Sleeve
Qiao Qingren and his wife were stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
Not only Qiao Qingren and his wife, but Qiao Chuxia, who had not left yet, also looked at her, as if shocked that she could say such decisive and vicious words in such a calm tone.
kill?
The Qiao family is a scholarly family. The second and third branches live a smooth and worry-free life under the protection of the first branch and have never seen the other side of the world.
For them, killing someone is just like selling a servant who made a mistake.
But now, a little girl who is younger than all of them is actually asking for someone's life with just her mouth?
At that time, Qiao Qingren was somewhat suspicious about how much blood was on the hands of this little girl who looked as weak and harmless as a flower.
Qiao Chuxia has gained some experience. Although they are the same age, she feels that she and she are in two completely different worlds.
So, is it possible to handle this kind of thing in this way?
She glanced at her uncle and aunt, and saw that not only did they not think Qiao Wanyan was vicious and extreme, but they also had no intention of hiding anything and looked proud and doting on her. She felt inexplicably envious.
This was the confidence given to her by her uncle and aunt, so she dared to speak in this situation where adults should be the ones handling the matter and children are not allowed to say a word.
Qiao Jibai stood quietly by the side all the time without any intention of speaking, just as he had no sense of existence in the eyes of everyone in the family.
He tilted his head slightly to look at Qiao Wanyan's profile. He was not as shocked as Qiao Qingren and his wife, and Qiao Chuxia. His eyes were deep and gentle, and a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, which was not noticed by anyone.
Wei was the first to react and asked tentatively, "Then Wanyan... will your sister Chuxue survive? How do you plan to arrange your sister Chuxue's future?"
Qiao Qingren was slightly dissatisfied. He, the head of the family, was still here, so why didn't this ignorant woman ask him but went around asking a child instead of asking him and his elder brother?
The follow-up matters will naturally be handled by the elders!
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "I am just a junior. I have a father and second uncle at home. How can I arrange things for Sister Chuxue's future?"
Qiao Qingren's expression eased a little, but Wei felt a little uneasy. She was afraid that those big men would be too cruel to tolerate Chu Xue.
She could tell from the tone of the words just now that Qiao Wanyan had no intention of letting Chuxue die.
After all, they are sisters. Even if the girl is cruel, she wouldn't be so cruel.
At this time, a maid came in and said, "The young lady's belly has been completely aborted. The doctor said that the young lady is fine now. As long as she rests well, she will be fine!"
Qiao Wanyan added: "This is really good news. But how do Second Uncle and Second Aunt plan to deal with the marriage with General Zhongwu's family? Everything else can be fooled, but this wedding night cannot be fooled."
General Zhongwu's family are all hot-tempered. If they knew that he had married a woman who was cheating on him, they would do anything to make a big deal out of it and demand an explanation, regardless of their shame.
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were fixed on Qiao Qingren, as if she was waiting for him to come up with a good idea.
She was going to marry into the Eastern Palace in the future, and she would never allow herself to be talked about behind her back because of her involvement with the women of the Qiao family.
I would not allow anyone to mention me in the future, as they would say that I was Qiao Chuxue's shameful sister who got pregnant before getting married.
Qiao Jibai said softly to the maid: "Go down first."
The maid nodded, left and closed the door.
The room fell silent again.
Qiao Qingren was also a little embarrassed at the moment. When he knew that Chuxue had done such a shameful thing, his first worry was how to explain to General Zhongwu's family. His second worry was how to completely suppress this matter from spreading.
Minister Qiao was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Have you ever thought about why General Zhongwu's family is so anxious to arrange a marriage?"
Qiao Qingren and his wife were silent, and they really didn't seem to think about why. They just thought that they admired the status of the Qiao family and wanted to marry into a higher class.
Minister Qiao: "General Zhongwu is highly valued by the Emperor. His youngest son won the title of Wu Champion last year and has a promising future. There are countless families who want to marry him. Why did you choose Chuxue?"
Wei said, "Of course it's because my Chuxue's reputation for virtue spread throughout the capital, so they naturally picked our Chuxue after much selection."
This was not a mother's way of praising her daughter. Qiao Chuxue was not an unknown person in the capital. Since she came of age, there had been many people who came to propose marriage. Qiao Qingren and his wife wanted to find a good son-in-law, so they had not agreed.
Qiao Chuxue has a kind and gentle personality, and is known as a well-behaved and obedient little sheep by the children of the aristocratic families. But this is also her personality created because she wants to stand out in the capital, and she knows that she cannot compare with Qiao Wanyan in terms of appearance and talent, so she finds another way out.
But now, such a good girl has done such a ridiculous thing as getting pregnant before getting married.
After enduring for many years and pretending for many years, a big rebellion finally happened.
Minister Qiao sneered. It would be fine if he lied to others, but he was telling such lies to his family members.
He said bluntly: "General Zhongwu's youngest son is a homosexual. He has a lover who is the top performer in Changhua Opera House. He redeemed the actor two years ago and has been keeping him in the backyard until today."
"General Zhongwu and his wife have always thought that their son was just having a whim, but now that they are older, they are still inseparable. They are forced to marry their son an obedient woman, a little lamb who can accommodate that male actor."
"Otherwise, why do you think such a martial arts champion who has no shortage of people proposing marriage to him would come to propose marriage in less than two months?"
Wealthy families all pay great attention to etiquette. Accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride price, accepting the bride's congratulations, accepting the bride price, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride to the wedding are all necessary procedures, which takes half a year.
Now they are so anxious to marry her, the couple actually thinks they are afraid that Qiao Chuxue will be snatched away by someone else, and they are afraid of missing out on such an easy-to-control little lamb.
Qiao Qingren and his wife were stunned, as if they had suffered a huge blow.
After a long pause, Wei shook her head and said, "No, if that's the case, aren't they afraid that we will cause trouble?"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Make trouble? If she gets married and makes trouble, both sides will suffer. General Zhongwu's family will never admit it, so the ones who will suffer in the end will be my second uncle and my second aunt."
Wei seemed unable to accept this fact, and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Qiao Chuxia and Qiao Jibai behind her helped her up and sat her on the chair.
Qiao Chuxia was also shocked. She was jealous that her sister had found a good husband's family, and the husband's family was so concerned and eager to marry her off.
So that's how it is!
"Then brother, what should we do?" Qiao Qingren was completely at a loss.
