"Aunt, it's alright. It's just that the house is destroyed. I believe my cousin won't blame me."
Qiao Yuchen had already noticed someone behind him, but he didn't care.
I'm busy with important things, I don't have time to waste.
Once it was confirmed that the side rooms were no longer habitable, he hurriedly directed everyone to fetch some new items from the storeroom and bring them into the inner hall.
He thought to himself that this way, the woman would have no chance to refuse to share a bed with him.
Thinking about this, he felt it necessary to say something to push things forward.
Qiao Yuchen walked quickly inside the door, then came out carrying some things. He saw Mrs. Qiao standing not far away, but only glanced at her without saying anything, and quickly got back to work.
Jiang Manyun always felt that Qiao Yuchen had killed Qiao Zhen, and when she saw Qiao Yuchen's appearance, her heart started pounding wildly.
Wow... there are men this good-looking.
She had always heard that Qiao Yuchen had undergone plastic surgery and was very beautiful—no, more beautiful than a woman.
She had always thought it was just people talking nonsense, but now that she's seen it with her own eyes, she truly believes it.
It's so beautiful that even I, as a woman, feel ashamed.
At that moment, she didn't feel offended by the person ignoring her; on the contrary, she felt that someone as celestial as her should act so arrogantly.
"Aunt, who is he?"
Mrs. Qiao kept looking at Qiao Yuchen and didn't notice anything different about Jiang Manyun. "He is your second cousin."
Zhang Ma was furious. What kind of master was that bastard from outside? And what kind of second cousin was that? Did that bastard even deserve to be called a master?
Jiang Manyun was a decisive person. Seeing Qiao Yuchen walking away, she helped Mrs. Qiao, saying, "Aunt, you must be tired. Let me help you back to rest."
Mrs. Qiao glanced at the house in front of her, said nothing, and quickly left.
Back at Xiyuan, I immediately asked Zhang Ma to go to Steward Yu and ask him to find someone to repair the house as soon as possible.
"Aunt, why are you so good to him?" With no outsiders around, Jiang Manyun and Madam Qiao had a good relationship, and she spoke directly.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at her, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh deeply.
"Aunt, did he bully you?" Jiang Manyun said angrily, "That's too much! How could he bully my aunt? Don't worry, Aunt, I'll go back and find my father and brothers and ask them to avenge you."
When Mrs. Qiao saw that Jiang Manyun was really angry, she grabbed her arm and said, "No, don't go."
"Aunt, what are you so afraid of?" Jiang Manyun was so worried about her aunt that she got angry at this moment, puffing up her cheeks and looking particularly lively.
Mrs. Qiao finally stopped crying and smiled, "Alright, I'll stay like this for now."
"Aunt, don't be sad. Your older cousin will worry if he sees you like this."
Big cousin?
Madam Qiao glanced at Jiang Manyun, recalling what the general had said: even if it meant death, this secret could not be revealed, and no one but the two of them could tell it.
The words that were finally on the tip of his tongue were changed.
"Okay, I'm fine now. You've been with me all day, you must be tired too, go back and rest."
"No, I want to stay with my aunt and see who is bullying her."
"You child?" Having lost her son, she was deeply moved as she looked at the child she had watched grow up. In the end, perhaps out of fear of being alone, she stayed to have dinner with them.
Before they had even eaten, Aunt Guo arrived, helping Qiao Yang, who was limping.
"Mother—" Qiao Yang began wiping away tears as soon as he entered the door.
"Greetings, Madam." Aunt Guo immediately followed suit and bowed.
Jiang Manyun was slightly surprised to see the two.
This is......
In all the years she had been in and out of the Qiao family, she had never seen Qiao Yang so disheveled.
Because Mrs. Qiao was beside her, she didn't say anything, but just looked at her with concern.
Qiao Yang remained the same as always. In the Qiao family, she was always arrogant and disdainful of others, even when they looked at her with friendly eyes.
Supported by Aunt Guo, Qiao Yang arrived at Madam Qiao's side, disregarding his own injuries, and followed directly to Madam Qiao's side.
"Mother, Yang'er knows he was wrong. Please forgive Yang'er, okay?" He looked up at Madam Qiao pitifully.
Madam Qiao helped Qiao Yang up. "How are you feeling?"
Qiao Yang seemed to be in a lot of pain, but he tried his best to bear it. Not only that, he also tried to put on a smile. "Yang'er is fine. I'm sorry to have worried my mother."
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright," Madam Qiao said repeatedly.
Aunt Guo nodded slightly to Jiang Manyun as a greeting, and then she focused her attention on Madam Qiao and Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang has always received much attention from Madam Qiao. From birth, he has been treated as a legitimate son in the entire General's Mansion. Now that Qiao Yang is injured, Madam Qiao has not come. They are worried and afraid. Taking advantage of the commotion elsewhere today, they came over.
Zhang Ma was a capable woman. She did what Madam Qiao asked for and soon brought them food.
Seeing the masters sitting together for a meal, she noticed that Madam Qiao's appetite had clearly improved, and she smiled as well.
Mrs. Qiao has barely eaten during this period, and in just a few days, she has lost a lot of weight.
The sons and daughters-in-law of other families are all trying to please their mothers-in-law. In the general's mansion, the family's customs have really changed.
My mother-in-law is constantly mistreated, and no one seems to care.
Seeing the overly quiet atmosphere at the dinner table, she felt sorry for Mrs. Qiao.
"It's so good to have you here, Second Miss. Madam Qiao has been confined to her home for some time now, if it weren't for..."
"Mother, what happened?" Upon hearing this, Qiao Yang immediately put down his chopsticks and asked with concern.
