Chapter 2 The whole family is in trouble

Qiao Niannian decided to stand up.

No matter if it works or not, the hope of the whole family is on her, she has to stand up.

Let her think about how things developed.

Qiao Niannian was thinking about herself, and did not notice that Mrs. Huo was stunned.

Frame the current emperor, how could she frame the emperor!

The Huo family has been loyal for generations, brave and good at fighting, protecting the country, and absolutely not the slightest rebellious heart.

Mrs. Huo came from the general's mansion, so naturally she also learned her father's concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

She didn't know why her daughter had such an idea.

Mrs. Huo was about to comfort Qiao Niannian when she heard her daughter's voice.

[I remember that there was a maidservant beside my mother who was bribed, and the thing that was used to harm the emperor was put there by that maidservant. ]

Mrs. Huo was shocked.

At this time, the maid Chunmei came in: "Madam, the young lady's medicine is ready. Shall we bring it over now?"

Mrs. Huo was about to nod when she heard her daughter's voice.

[My dear mother, she is the maid bought by the second house. She was the one who put the things there.]

Mrs. Huo couldn't believe it.

Chunmei had been serving her for more than ten years and was loyal to her.

She was also generous to her servants and never scolded them.

Mrs. Huo looked at Chunmei inconspicuously.

Chunmei's eyes fell on Qiao Niannian's bed inconspicuously, and her eyes moved with obvious calculation.

Mrs. Huo had never noticed Chunmei's little movements before, but now that she looked carefully, she realized that she was so restless.

Mrs. Huo calmed down and said calmly, "Young lady just drank a bowl of porridge. Drink the soup medicine later."

If Chunmei had any problems, Mrs. Huo would not dare to let her daughter drink the medicine she made.

Chunmei frowned. There were a lot of good things added to the medicine, which was specially used for Qiao Niannian. But she did not dare to refute Mrs. Huo's words, so she could only answer honestly.

"Yes, I will warm it for you now. You can eat it later.

Mrs. Huo nodded calmly. Seeing Chunmei was about to leave, she stopped her.

"Wait, the young lady just said she wanted to have some snacks. Go to the kitchen and watch the cook make some nice and delicate snacks and bring them over."

Chunmei didn't want to go. She hadn't watched Qiao Niannian drink her medicine yet: "Madam, I still have to warm the medicine for the young lady. I..."

Mrs. Huo was still calm: "Just ask another maid to bring the medicine. You are careful and know the young lady's taste. I feel relieved when you go."

Chunmei was secretly proud. She knew that Mrs. Huo loved Qiao Niannian very much, so she had long thought of ways to please Qiao Niannian, so she was promoted to a second-class maid. So when Mrs. Huo said this, Chunmei didn't suspect anything.

"I'll go now."

It happened that the second room was asking about the second young lady's situation. She sent the news to the second room first, and she could get a lot of reward money. Chunmei left happily.

Shi Liu waited until Chun Mei left before revealing a strange look. She had been serving by her side the whole time, and didn't hear the young lady asking for snacks!

"Shi Liu, let Hai Tang follow Chun Mei and see where she goes. Don't let anyone else know." Mrs. Huo ordered coldly.

Shi Liu shuddered. Could it be that there was something wrong with Chun Mei? She didn't dare to delay and immediately went out to inform Hai Tang.

Shi Liu and Hai Tang were maids that Mrs. Huo brought back from her mother's home. They were different from the maids in the mansion and had a deeper relationship with them. Mrs. Huo didn't doubt their loyalty at all.

When Qiao Niannian heard her mother's arrangement, she was a little confused.

[How could my mother suddenly become so smart that she even suspected Chun Mei? She should have died earlier. Qiao Niannian

stared at Mrs. Huo for a few times. A black mass gathered at her brow. This was a sign of great danger, proving that the object of rebellion had not been found yet.

Qiao Niannian felt that it was better to rely on herself than on others, so she should practice!

She closed her eyes, circulated her spiritual power around the body, and began to breathe in and out.

Mrs. Huo didn't care about the bad face. She waited for Shi Liu to come back, and took Shi Liu aside. After making sure that no one could hear their conversation, she spoke in a low voice.

"Shi Liu, go to the beam of my room and find a small box..."

Mrs. Huo originally wanted Shi Liu to take the box down, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the Buddhist scriptures spread out on the table.

This Buddhist scripture was copied by the little girl for praying because she was worried that her elder brother would be in danger on the battlefield.

The Buddhist scriptures were copied three days ago. They were originally spread on the table to dry the ink, but when her daughter jumped into the river, she forgot about the Buddhist scriptures.

Mrs. Huo suddenly had an idea in her mind. She walked forward and added two lines of words at the end.

Mrs. Huo taught her daughter to write, so she could still imitate her daughter's words.

She blew the last words dry, put them away, and handed them to Shi Liu.

"Replace the things in the box with the Buddhist scriptures, wrap them in a cloak, and be careful not to let anyone find out."

Seeing that the lady looked solemn, Shi Liu did not dare to be careless. She hid the things in her sleeves and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Huo returned to the bed and saw the little girl lying on the bed, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

This look was funny no matter how she looked at it, and Mrs. Huo felt a little relieved.

Knowing that Chunmei might have a problem and her daughter had to take medicine, Mrs. Huo simply took the maid to boil the medicine herself.

As for the previous bowl, it was accidentally broken by Mrs. Huo.

After Qiao Niannian drank a bowl of white porridge, Mrs. Huo came in with black soup medicine. Qiao Niannian drank the medicine with a wrinkled face, and then ate a few pieces of plum candy to suppress the bitterness in her mouth.

[What kind of doctor prescribes such bitter medicine? Does he have a medical qualification certificate? He almost sent me away.]

Mrs. Huo suppressed the arc of her mouth, pretending not to know what the little girl was thinking.

Qiao Niannian doubted her life for a while, and began to seize the time to cultivate.

I don’t know how long it took, and a clear young man’s voice came from outside the door.

"Mother, is my sister awake?"

The maid at the door bowed respectfully: "Third Master, the young lady is asleep."

The third young master Qiao Beichen, thirteen this year, is naughty and eccentric by nature, like a little bully, with many bad friends, and is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.

The most troublesome thing is studying.

He gets sleepy when he picks up the book, often sleeps in class, and makes the teacher stomp his feet in anger. He

has been beaten for this, but he still does his own thing.

Qiao Beichen walked in and put a lunch box on the table. At this time, Mrs. Huo also came out from the inner room.

The young man's voice was clear, but he deliberately lowered it a few points.

"Mother, this is a nourishing medicinal diet prepared by the Food Shop. You have worked so hard to take care of my little sister, you should take more nourishment."

The Food Shop is the most expensive restaurant in the capital. It is frequented by dignitaries. A casual meal costs hundreds of taels of silver. The medicinal diet offered by the Food Shop is especially difficult to buy.

There was once someone who relied on his status as a royal relative to make a medicinal diet for others. As a result, the person was put in a sack and beaten the next day, and never dared to make trouble in the Food Shop again.

Rumor has it that the person behind this medicinal diet shop is extremely noble, and it is rumored that the owner behind it is someone in the palace.

No one knows what happened, but Mrs. Huo knows that this thing is expensive and rare.

She was first moved by her son's filial piety, and then reacted.

Last time, Qiao Beichen brought students to play a prank on the teacher. After his parents were called in, she withheld Qiao Beichen's monthly salary.

Where did he get the money to buy medicinal food?

Mrs. Huo stared at him angrily: "Qiao Beichen, did you go gambling again?"

Qiao Beichen didn't think there was anything wrong: "Mom, I also made this money by my own ability."

By ability?

Gambling is also considered an ability?

She thinks this brat is becoming more capable.

Mrs. Huo was about to hit someone, but Qiao Beichen sneaked into the inner room first and hid behind her sister.

"Mom, my sister is watching! If you have the guts, hit me in front of my sister."

Mrs. Huo:...

Let go of Nian Nian's hand, and she will beat his butt flat.

Qiao Beichen knew that his own mother still cared about the image of her sister, and he immediately grinned.

After taking the medicine, Qiao Niannian started breathing again, and now her breathing was much more even.

She was awakened by the noise in the room, and slowly opened her eyes, and saw a face with teeth bared and enlarged.

Qiao Niannian was shocked.

[Where did this big fool come from! ]

Qiao Beichen:...

What is this girl talking about.

He is so handsome, cool, suave, and graceful, and she actually said he is stupid.

No.

The sister didn't say anything.

Qiao Beichen glanced around, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He could hear his sister's voice.

Could it be that because his sister likes him, the third brother, the most, he can hear his sister's voice.

Oh, this sister is really loved in vain.

"Little sister, look what your brother brought you!"

Qiao Beichen rummaged in his arms and took out a gold medal.

He specially asked a master to consecrate this gold medal, which can bless Qiao Niannian with peace and success.

He was about to show it to Qiao Niannian when he heard Qiao Niannian's inner voice.

[Oh, it turns out that he is not a fool, but my unlucky third brother.]

[He cheated at the gambling table, had his hands and feet chopped off, and became a useless and miserable male supporting role...]

Qiao Beichen: ...

He felt that this gift was not necessary.
