Chapter 22 Eyebrows and Eyes
Qiao Yueying saw her second uncle looking at the necklace on her neck, and immediately looked at her second uncle shyly and blinked.
This necklace was specially given to her by her second uncle, and she liked it very much, especially the ruby on it, which was simply too dazzling.
The two exchanged glances, which was seen by the people above.
If it were in the past, Qiao Chushan would not think too much.
But now, he can't help but think too much.
A daughter and a brother colluded to undermine him, which was really great.
Qiao Chushan snorted directly, interrupting the eyebrow and eye dispute between the two.
Qiao Chufeng came back to his senses and spoke with a smile.
"I haven't seen Yueying for a long time. It's true that a girl has changed a lot since she grew up. She has become more and more beautiful."
Qiao Yueying smiled coquettishly and said nothing.
Qiao Chushan looked at Qiao Yueying: "I haven't seen you wear this necklace before, but now it looks a little special. Where did it come from?"
Qiao Yueying was stunned, and quickly glanced at Qiao Chufeng, then smiled and said: "I bought it myself on the street, it looks special."
Qiao Chushan slapped the table with a gloomy face: "Liar, where did you get this necklace?"
Qiao Yueying was shocked, not knowing why Qiao Chushan suddenly got angry.
This necklace was of course not bought by her, but given by her second uncle.
But can she admit it now?
Her second uncle mentioned in the letter that he only brought gifts for her, not for Qiao Niannian. If she told the truth now, it would be like betraying her second uncle and making him embarrassed.
Qiao Yueying refused to admit it, she insisted that she bought it.
Qiao Chushan stood up and came to Qiao Yueying's side, Qiao Chufeng stepped forward and blocked Qiao Yueying.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? A little girl likes to buy a piece of jewelry, why are you still angry!"
Qiao Chushan pushed him away, pulled off the necklace on Qiao Yueying's neck, and said coldly.
"Second brother, you don't have to make excuses for this rebellious girl. This necklace is something that only the nobles of the barbarians would use. It is engraved with barbarian totems. She said she bought it. How is that possible?" "She
is so young and yet she is telling lies all the time. If I don't teach her a lesson now, I will be helping the tyrant."
"Fortunately, there is only our family today. If I wear it and others see it, they will think I am colluding with the barbarians!"
After saying that, he stared at Qiao Yueying: "Tell me the truth, where did you get the necklace?"
Qiao Yueying insisted that she bought it.
Qiao Chufeng was also confused.
He only thought that this necklace was beautiful at first and wanted to give it to Qiao Yueying, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was so knowledgeable that he actually recognized it and let it go.
And the last sentence of his elder brother about colluding with the barbarians made Qiao Chufeng's heart go haywire.
Could it be that his elder brother knew about his collusion with the barbarians?
How could this be possible?
Not to mention that this happened at the border, every time he contacted the barbarians, it was very secretive and it was impossible for anyone to know.
I think it was all a misunderstanding caused by the necklace.
But he couldn't admit that he gave it to Qiao Yueying at this time, after all, he only gave it to Qiao Yueying and not Qiao Niannian.
Such different treatment might cause dissatisfaction from the Huo family.
For a while, Qiao Chufeng was in a dilemma.
Qiao Yueying was in a dilemma. Qiao Chushan knew it all.
Seeing Qiao Yueying didn't say anything, he said coldly: "Come here, take the young lady down to me and beat her until she confesses." Qiao Yueying was dumbfounded . She just wanted to show the necklace given by her second uncle, but how did she end up getting beaten? She regretted it. If she had known, she wouldn't have worn it to show off. Qiao Chufeng was also excited. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Qiao Chushan. "I know that my second brother loves Yueying, but if you don't teach her now, it will be too late when she makes a mistake." "You know, killing a child is like killing a child." Qiao Chufeng: ... It's not right for him to plead, and it's not right for him not to plead. Mrs. Huo on the side was very satisfied. Seeing that she spoke, Qiao Niannian secretly stuffed a piece of peanut candy into Mrs. Huo's mouth. It is more enjoyable to watch a play while eating. In the end, Qiao Yueying was beaten with ten boards and fainted before being carried back to the room. Qiao Niannian couldn't help but feel happy about her misfortune. [Well done, Dad. I have to remind Dad to destroy the necklace quickly, so that no one will tell the emperor, and the emperor will not misunderstand my brother because of suspicion of Dad.] Before Qiao Niannian opened her mouth, Qiao Chushan had already torn the necklace and threw it to the servant. "Bring the brazier. This thing that brings disaster must not be kept." The servant did not dare to delay and immediately walked in with the brazier. In front of Qiao Chufeng, Qiao Chushan threw the precious necklace that Qiao Chufeng had worked so hard to get into the brazier. It was soon burnt and deformed, and the previous exquisiteness could no longer be seen. Qiao Chufeng was extremely angry. He clenched his hands into fists and hid them in his sleeves. His nails dug into his flesh and blood flowed out, but he didn't feel it at all. At this moment, Qiao Chufeng was extremely hateful and angry, but he could only suppress it in his heart and dared not show it at all. Two hundred thousand taels of silver were wasted by Qiao Chushan. In addition to anger, his heart was bleeding! Huo and Qiao Niannian kept staring at Qiao Chufeng. Although this person hid himself very well, the gloom in his eyes was frightening. He also raised his hand several times to stop Qiao Chushan. They saw it all. The mother and daughter bit peanut candy and ate melons online, and they felt that the sweet taste in their mouths was even stronger. Qiao Chushan also knew that the two of them liked to eat melons, so he didn't mind stabbing Qiao Chufeng again. After burning the necklace, he looked at Qiao Chufeng with a serious face. "Second brother, do you think what big brother did was right?" Qiao Chufeng almost broke his teeth when he heard Qiao Chushan's question.
This bastard.
He burned his things and asked him how he burned them!
But what can he do?
He took a deep breath, forced down his anger, and squeezed out a few words from his teeth.
"Well burned."
Qiao Chushan was satisfied. He
patted Qiao Chufeng on the shoulder and praised him: "I knew that my second brother would understand my intentions."
"The necklace is a small matter, but it will be a big matter if someone sees it and reports it to the emperor."
"Now that we are at war with the barbarians, we can't leave any handle for others. You don't know it on the border, but the cold arrows in the capital are hard to defend against."
Qiao Chufeng swallowed his anger and said: "Big brother taught me that."
Qiao Nian Nian laughed.
[Daddy is mighty, I hold up the banner for Daddy...]
Qiao Chushan was proud.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, he was the most important person to his daughter.
After all, he was the only one who could hear his daughter's inner voice. He was simply the chosen one.
Qiao Chufeng originally came to inquire about the news, and now he was in no mood to say anything more, so he just said goodbye.
Qiao Chushan did not try to keep him and sent him out.
Qiao Chufeng felt something was wrong when he walked out of Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
This was completely different from what he expected. What did he do wrong?
At the Marquis' Mansion, Qiao Chushan sent Qiao Chufeng away and looked at his daughter.
"Niannian, I'm going to write a letter to your eldest brother. See if you have anything you want to write, write it together, and let your second uncle give it to your eldest brother."
Qiao Chushan couldn't help but care about the safety of his son, but he didn't know the future plot, so he could only try to get his daughter to talk.
