Chapter 20 Second Uncle is Here

Mrs. Huo didn't want to see the two people, but Qiao Chushan had to get up.

He came outside.

Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying saw their father and spoke hurriedly.

"Dad, I don't know what Aunt did wrong to anger Father, but Aunt certainly didn't do it on purpose. Maybe there is some grievance."

grievance?

Framing him is a grievance?

Or is it a grievance to cuckold him?

Or is it a grievance to give birth to someone else's child and let him raise it so big?

Qiao Chushan became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he became more and more dissatisfied with the two people in front of him.

"Okay, don't worry about the adults' affairs, do what you should do, and if I know that you secretly went to Xu's place, get out of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Go back!"

Qiao Chushan warned the two and sent them away.

Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying were dumbfounded.

In the past, although their father did not like them as much as he liked the children in the first house, he was definitely good to them. This was the first time they saw their father get angry.

Qiao Yueying's beautiful eyes were watery, and her eyes turned red, and she was about to cry.

Every time Xu or Qiao Yueying made this expression, Qiao Chushan would definitely soften his heart.

Qiao Yueying planned to use the same trick as before.

Who would have thought.

Not only did she not get any softening in return, but she was scolded by Qiao Chushan.

"Why are you crying? Has the Marquis' Mansion treated you unfairly? You just cry all day long, just like your mother."

Qiao Yueying's kite landed on the roof of the Huo family, and the blood curse was discovered.

Qiao Chushan did not think Qiao Yueying was so innocent in this matter.

Qiao Yueying was suddenly scolded, and she was a little confused.

Tears rolled down like pearls, but she was so shocked that she forgot to wipe them and let them roll to the ground.

Then she saw Qiao Chushan's back as he returned to the house.

Qiao Yueying couldn't help but clench her fists.

This man was really cold-blooded and ruthless, so there was no need to hesitate about her plan.

It was a pity that she wanted to give this father a chance.

Qiao Yueying looked at Qiao Chaosheng: "Brother, let's go!"

Qiao Chaosheng was also angry: "Let's go, one day, Dad will regret having treated us like this!"

Qiao Chaosheng secretly made friends with the third prince and planned to support the third prince to become emperor.

He had previously planned to persuade his father to join the third prince.

But what did his father say?

He said that the prince was the legitimate heir, and that the Great Xia Dynasty had always established the heir instead of the eldest son. He was severely reprimanded at that time.

Qiao Chaosheng listened on the surface, but he didn't care in his heart. He planned to find an opportunity to lobby his father in the future and tell him that the third prince was the destined one.

Now it seems that there is no need.

His father didn't care about him at all. He was thinking about the three useless sons.

In this case, he would let his father see which son was the best.

In the room, Mrs. Huo's expression when she saw Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying leave was really ugly.

If she hadn't seen this scene, she didn't know how much she had been wrong for so many years.

Not to mention that she did have doubts back then.

After all, the Qiao family has never had a dragon-and-phoenix twin for generations, and this thing is said to be somewhat hereditary.

And before Xu entered the mansion, the ancestors of eighteen generations were also thoroughly investigated.

There had never been twins.

How come she and Qiao Chushan gave birth to a pair of dragon-and-phoenix twins together?

It's really auspicious.

But when the children were born, they looked exactly like Qiao Chushan, so she no longer had doubts.

Now that she knows that Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying are not Qiao Chushan's children, the question arises again.

Whose children are these two children, and why do they look so much like Qiao Chushan? When

Qiao Chushan walked in, he saw his wife looking out the window, which was exactly the direction Qiao Chaosheng and Qiao Yueying left.

He couldn't help but speak.

"Madam, you have wronged me for so many years. Fortunately, the truth is out now."

Mrs. Huo snorted coldly: "I knew you were not destined to have a dragon and phoenix twin."

She absolutely refused to admit that she was very jealous when she saw Xu giving birth to a dragon and phoenix twin.

At that time, the whole capital was saying that Xu was blessed and had a pair of dragon and phoenix twins as soon as she entered the house.

Qiao Chushan felt pain in his heart when his wife stabbed him.

He was about to say something when the maid ran in.

"Master, Madam, the second master is here."

Qiao Chushan and Mrs. Huo were surprised when they heard it.

"It's the second brother who is back."

Qiao Chushan nodded: "The second brother has been guarding the border and hasn't been back for ten years. This time he comes back, he has to stay for two more days!"

The brothers Qiao Chushan and Qiao Chufeng have had a good relationship since they were young.

The old marquis passed away, and Qiao Chushan inherited his father's position. According to the normal hereditary system, Qiao Chushan's title needs to be downgraded.

Qiao Chushan is different. When he was young, he made great contributions and saved the emperor's life. The emperor's grace allowed Qiao Chushan to inherit the marquisate, and he became Mingyuan Marquis.

Qiao Chufeng likes to practice martial arts and directly joins the army. Ten years ago, he was sent by the emperor to guard the border. Qiao Chushan personally sent him off.

For ten years, they have been writing letters, all of which are about missing him. Now that his brother is back, Qiao Chushan is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Mrs. Huo also has a good impression of this second brother: "Yes! Stay a few more days and ask about Chuanbai's news."

The couple tidied their clothes and went to the front hall.

On the way, Mrs. Huo suddenly remembered that Qiao Niannian had not met this second uncle yet, so she immediately ordered the maid.

"Go wake up the second young lady and ask her to come to the front hall to meet her second uncle."

The maid left.

Front hall.

Qiao Chushan walked into the main hall and saw a figure standing with his back to him. His face was immediately full of smiles.

"Second brother, you are finally back."

Qiao Chufeng turned around, also full of joy: "Big brother."

After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Huo beside him and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law." Mrs.

Huo nodded, smiled and said a few words of concern: "Second brother has lost a lot of weight this time. You should stay a little longer and rest this time."

This brother-in-law of hers is respectful and polite, treats people sincerely, and has been at the border for so many years.

Even so, he never forgets his family when he has good things.

Mrs. Huo really treats this brother-in-law as a relative.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chufeng looked melancholy: "Chufeng also wants to stay at home for a few more days, but the war at the border is urgent, so I'm afraid I'll have to leave in two days."

The smiles on Qiao Chushan and Huo's faces faded a little, and Qiao Chushan said: "What's the matter? Didn't you say that the barbarians were being defeated?"

The emperor talked about this in the hall two days ago, and said at that time that the army would return to the court soon.

Qiao Chufeng looked heavy-hearted: "We did win a few battles, and the barbarians were ready to surrender. Who would have thought that this was just a delaying tactic of the barbarians? They took advantage of our relaxed vigilance to rob all the food and fodder sent by the emperor. Now the army has run out of food and fodder. I came here this time just for food and fodder." When

two armies fight, the most important thing is endurance, and the key is to fight for a long time.

And the foundation of a long-term war is food and fodder.

Now the food and fodder of hundreds of thousands of troops have been robbed, and the soldiers on the border are about to starve. This is a big deal.

"What did the emperor say?"

"I went to the palace to see the emperor this morning. The emperor has asked people to prepare food and fodder. It is estimated that we can only stay for two or three days before we have to go back."

Qiao Chushan heard this and stopped talking about food and fodder. Instead, he talked about family matters with Qiao Chufeng.

"How have you been at the border these years?"

Qiao Chufeng smiled and said, "I'm fine. I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning. The conditions there are naturally not as good as those in the capital. But after staying for a long time, I slowly got used to it."

The few of them chatted for a few more sentences, and Qiao Niannian came in with the maid.

When Mrs. Huo saw her daughter, her expression eased a little.

"Niannian, come and meet your second uncle. You have grown up so big and have never met your second uncle!"

Qiao Niannian paused.

[Second uncle? Is it the second uncle who was escorting the grain back but secretly sold the grain to the barbarians on the way? 】

【He not only sold the grain, but also pretended to be pitiful in front of the eldest brother. At this time, the barbarians attacked, and the eldest brother protected the second uncle and let him escape to report the news. But after the second uncle left, he did not report the news at all, but fabricated evidence that the eldest brother delayed the military plane and caused the defeat. 】

【Because of this second uncle, the war that could have been easily won was lost, killing the eldest brother and the 500,000 troops who defended the country. The reason is also ridiculous, that is, the barbarians promised too much, and there is no way to refuse. Qiao Chushan and Mrs. Huo's faces suddenly changed .

They couldn't believe what their daughter had just said. Their second brother, whom they had always regarded as a relative, would kill their son and the 500,000 troops on the border!

Mrs. Huo was uneasy and knocked over the teacup on the table.

The teacup rolled to the ground with a harsh sound.
