Chapter 37 Qiao Chufeng's Thoughts

Qiao Niannian met Haitang on the road.

When she learned that Haitang was going to the General's Mansion, Qiao Niannian's eyes lit up.

She could ask someone from the General's Mansion to deliver the heart-protecting bronze mirror to her eldest brother.

The General's Mansion is familiar with the roads to the border and is the most suitable person.

She immediately called Haitang.

"Wait a minute, I also have a letter for my second cousin, please help me take it over."

Qiao Niannian took out a piece of paper from her body and handed it to Haitang.

Haitang looked strange.

Why did the second lady carry a letter with her!

She didn't read it.

In fact, what Qiao Niannian handed over was a blank piece of paper, but when it fell into her hand, there were a few more lines of words.

Haitang took the letter and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Qiao Chufeng was really bored sitting there, so he walked out of the house and strolled around the mansion casually.

He used to live in the Marquis' Mansion, but it was only after the Emperor sent him to the border that they separated from the family.

But he used to live in the Marquis' Mansion when he came back.

This time, he could only stay in the guest house.

Looking at the endless stream of servants in the Marquis' Mansion and the magnificent courtyard, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

All of this should be his.

It was all Qiao Chushan's fault for blocking his way, and also his dead father Hu Tu's fault. He didn't know who was the most suitable son to inherit the Marquis' Mansion.

Qiao Chufeng had been pretending for forty years, but the calculation was just a flash in his eyes, so fast that no one noticed.

He walked through the back garden and came to the courtyard of the second house.

It was different from the first house.

Aunt Xu and Qiao Yueying lived in a remote small courtyard.

This courtyard is neither as elegant as the Qingfeng Garden of the Huo family, nor as cozy as the Shuxin Pavilion where Qiao Niannian lives.

There are only six rooms in it, one for Aunt Xu, one for Qiao Yueying, a small kitchen, a storeroom, and two maids' rooms.

Aunt Xu was locked up, and now Qiao Yueying is the only owner in the courtyard.

Qiao Yueying was slapped a few days ago, and that slap was quite hard. She put medicine on her face, and the redness and swelling have only subsided a little today.

She has not left the courtyard these days.

Qiao Yueying hated her father for being partial to her, and also hated her second uncle for not protecting her. That thing was clearly given to her by her second uncle, and he knew she was innocent, but he still watched her get beaten.

In the past, she could still act coquettishly with her mother, and her mother would find ways to comfort her. Now that her mother is locked up, she can't even see Mrs. Xu.

It's unlucky to think about it.

Recently, things have been too bad for their second house.

Daddy obviously loved her the most in the past, but now, he hits her.

Daddy has never hit her since she was a child.

Qiao Yueying probably took it too seriously and didn't even notice Qiao Chufeng walking in.

Qiao Chufeng spoke helplessly.

"Yueying."

Qiao Yueying was startled, and when she saw it was Qiao Chufeng, she lowered her head after a moment of confusion.

Qiao Chufeng sighed: "Yueying, are you feeling better? Didn't Second Uncle mean to not speak up for you last time? If I had, my sister-in-law would have known that I brought you a gift and not Qiao Nian Nian, and she would have made things difficult for you."

"I didn't say it, but it's all for your own good."

Qiao Yueying pursed her lips.

Qiao Chufeng took out a wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Yueying.

"See what's inside?"

Qiao Yueying couldn't help her curiosity and opened the box. Inside was a set of jewelry that was more expensive than the necklace last time. This time it was a set.

No girl can refuse beautiful jewelry, especially a style that no one in the capital has.

Qiao Yueying's expression immediately eased and she spoke in a low voice.

"I thought Second Uncle didn't like me anymore."

Qiao Chufeng rubbed Qiao Yueying's head: "How could that be! Second Uncle likes you the most."

He looked at the twelve-year-old girl in front of him, green and tender, but her facial features were already beginning to show coquettishness, and her eyes were slightly hot.

Qiao Niannian sat on a tall tree branch, and the dense branches and leaves covered her body tightly.

Since her mother left, Qiao Niannian guessed that Qiao Chufeng would come to see Qiao Yueying.

Speaking of which, in the novel, what Qiao Niannian couldn't understand the most was Qiao Chufeng's attitude towards Qiao Yueying.

Qiao Chufeng was almost forty years old, and he had two daughters, the eldest daughter was seventeen years old. The point was that Qiao Chufeng in the book liked his son.

A man who loves his sons is indifferent to his own daughter.

But he cares deeply about his niece.

He writes a letter every month and occasionally prepares gifts for everyone in the mansion. Everyone gets

one, including Qiao Yueying. In fact, he has already prepared a gift for Qiao Yueying that is better than everyone else's.

No one in the mansion knows about this.

Qiao Niannian just felt strange at the time.

But she just saw something.

When she saw Qiao Chufeng touching Qiao Yueying's head, Hongluan's heart was moved.

"This is too explosive."

The snake demon also followed suit and said in amazement: "You humans are crazy about imitating our demon world. We should at least wait until the little demons grow up before we have any ideas."

"You humans are really good at playing."

Qiao Niannian didn't say anything.

She stared at the people in the yard for a while and felt bored.

Qiao Yueying didn't seem to have any sense of danger at all, and allowed Qiao Chufeng to do some intimate actions, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Qiao Niannian really couldn't bear to watch it, so she jumped off the tree, speechless all the way.

[Qiao Chufeng is already forty years old, but he actually likes the twelve-year-old Qiao Yueying, he is simply a beast. ]

[No wonder Qiao Chufeng, when he becomes a marquis, will persuade you to support Qiao Yueying to be the empress! It turns out that he supports the person he likes.]

[This twisted emotion is really incomprehensible.]

Qiao Niannian sighed in front.

Qiao Chushan came back hurriedly and happened to be walking behind Qiao Niannian.

He had originally called his daughter, but he heard such an exciting voice.

What the hell?

Qiao Chufeng likes Qiao Yueying?

This is too shameless.

Also, will that bastard replace him to sit on the position of marquis in the future?

He accepted the former, after all, Qiao Yueying was not his biological daughter.

What about the latter?

Qiao Chushan would never allow it.

He did not ask anyone to call Qiao Chufeng, so he let him stay in Qiao Yueying's yard first!

Qiao Chushan called Qiao Niannian and went to Huo's yard together.

He opened his mouth with explosive news.

"I have news for you. The emperor suspected that the grain was lost last time because of a spy, so this time he specially arranged for someone to escort it by water." "

Originally, I was struggling to decide who to send! My eldest brother happened to enter the palace and took on this task. The grain has now been sent by water."

Huo's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She didn't expect her eldest brother to act so quickly and actually went directly to the palace to ask for permission. Fortunately, the emperor agreed.

The couple both looked happy. This time, with the eldest brother personally escorting the grain by water, he would definitely be able to deliver it to his son.

Qiao Niannian was the happiest to hear this. She was originally thinking about how to convince her father and second uncle that they would sell the grain to the barbarians, but she didn't expect the emperor to have thought of a way.

[Let me calculate whether the grain can be safely delivered to my eldest brother this time.]

Qiao Niannian pinched her fingers.

Qiao Chushan and his wife held their breath, fearing that they would miss any important news.

Fortunately, the result is good.

[Great, this time all the grain will be delivered to my eldest brother, and the five hundred thousand soldiers will no longer have to go hungry.]

After she was happy, she became confused again.

[How come the emperor suddenly became smart? It's so strange.]

[Could it be that my uncle guessed that there was a spy, so he asked for orders to escort the grain by water?]

Qiao Niannian couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up.

[Forget it, no matter what, as long as the result is good, it's fine.]

Qiao Chushan wanted to find a reason to comfort his daughter, but by the time he opened his mouth, his daughter had comforted herself.

Forget it.

He didn't say much.

At this moment, the maid came in to report.

"Second Miss, Young Master Huai Jin is here."
