Chapter 295: Paying with money, using tough tactics

Chapter 295: Paying with money, using tough tactics

It's sunny outside.

Ji Qingwu sat in the backlight with his back to the door. His innocent look faded away and his eyes were filled with intoxicating tenderness.

"Mom, what do you want to ask?"

The wrinkles between Mrs. Qiao's brows deepened. She gave birth to two daughters and a son, and was not an ignorant person.

The changes in Xiaowu.

What else could it be if not the lingering feeling of being deeply loved?

Ji Qingwu saw that his mother didn't say anything, as if she was very angry, but also seemed to feel sorry for her.

She whispered: "Mom, you..."

"Who is that beast?" Qiao lowered his voice.

Qiao knew that Xiaowu was not a casual woman. She was obedient at home, low-key outside, and never caused trouble. She must have been forced.

Who in the Wei family is so bold as to do such a despicable thing to Xiaowu while Wei Ting is away on the expedition?

Qiao's voice became more severe: "Who is it? You are still protecting that thing that is worse than a beast!"

Ji Qingwu pursed her lips. She didn't expect that her mother would find out about this as soon as she met her.

I was surprised and worried, not knowing how to explain it. Today, she had intended to reveal some truth to Qiao, but she didn't intend to tell her everything all at once, mainly because she was afraid that Qiao couldn't bear so many "surprises".

In addition, the emperor is still in a state of "coma and serious injury" and has not announced it to the public. If Qiao knew that the little prince was her son, given how much she loves Jiujiu, she would be even more worried and would not be able to eat or sleep.

This was not what she wanted to see.

Ji Qingwu hesitated for a moment, but still raised his eyes and looked directly into Qiao's eyes.

"Mom, I came back because I have something to tell you."

Qiao said: "Is it related to the person who bullied you?"

Ji Qingwu nodded and clenched his fingers on the carved pear wood table.

Mrs. Qiao said earnestly, "Mother knows that you don't want to marry Wei Ting, and mother doesn't want to interfere in your affairs, because you are an adult already, and you have to take responsibility for the choices you make."

"But as long as you are a wife of the Wei family, you will be under the control of the Wei family. Do you know what will happen to you if this matter is known to others?"

"Let's not talk about what will happen if Wei Ting finds out. As for the old-fashioned old lady of the Wei family, if she knows about this, she will not let you off easily."

In a short period of time, Qiao, as the head of the Ji family, has thought a lot.

"Even if mother sacrificed her dignity and brought you back from the Wei family, could you possibly endure the hardship of being cursed by thousands of people? Even if you could endure it, what would Jiujiu do in the future?"

Ji Qingwu lowered his head in shame after hearing Qiao's analysis.

No matter what the reason was, she did act wrong. In the eyes of outsiders, they didn't know what was going on between her and Wei Ting.

Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Can't I just divorce him?"

Qiao said worriedly, "Wei Ting is now at the border, how can he divorce you? Besides, he spent so much effort to marry you, how could he let you go so easily?"

Xiaowu still thought things were too simple. Qiao's eyes turned, thinking about countermeasures.

Ji Qingwu was also stroking it carefully.

The reason why she agreed to this marriage was because Wei Ting promised to loyally assist Yuan Heng. She was desperate and had no better way to protect Yuan Heng.

But in the end, Emperor Wu Su deceived everyone, including her.

Her current physical condition...she personally tested it and it's nothing serious.

The danger of exploding and dying due to misuse of drugs has been resolved. The emperor should come to court soon, and everything will return to normal.

She no longer needed Wei Ting to do anything for Yuan Heng.

However, she didn't know when the war between the North and Xijin would break out, and she didn't want to use this matter to provoke him and affect the war.

But Qiao's concerns should not be a big deal that is difficult to solve.

Emperor Wu Su wrote a letter by hand last night, and Wei Ting would not disobey the emperor's order.

Qiao had already made up his mind and said immediately: "Don't protect the person who bullies you."

"While no one knows about this, send him away from Lin'an immediately. We can give him money and other things. If he disagrees, we can use some strong measures."

Paying money, using tough tactics...

Ji Qingwu interrupted weakly, "Mom, I'm afraid this won't work."

Mrs. Qiao saw that Xiaowu was submissive and seemed to be letting the man do whatever he wanted and not wanting to resist.

She said angrily, "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about him. Listen to me, there are not many men you can trust. You still have to stand up for yourself. Don't be fooled by men's sweet words."

Ji Qingwu agreed with Qiao's words very much. If it were any other man in the world, the same statement would also be true.

If she were the emperor, even if she was able to stand firm, she would be bent by the imperial power.

Ji Qingwu opened his lips to speak.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and Chunhua's trembling voice rang out.

"Ma'am, Ma'am, someone wants to see you."

Chunhua has been with Qiao for a long time and has seen many big scenes, so she has never been so timid.

Mrs. Qiao was sitting facing the door and said seriously, "I'm talking to the young lady. I won't see anyone!"

"But, but..."

Chunhua was so frightened that she couldn't even finish her words and her lips were trembling.

The man in front of him was none other than the Imperial City Envoy Duan Mingfeng. His face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. Even Chunhua, a maid kept in the mansion, would tremble at the sight of him.

Mrs. Qiao also noticed the abnormality of the maid, and the conversation between mother and daughter was forced to stop.

Ji Qingwu wanted to stand up to see what was going on, but Qiao held his hand down.

"Just sit still and let me deal with the person at the door. I still have something to talk to you about."

Mrs. Qiao became stern. Ji Qingwu didn't dare to act rashly. He sat up straight and watched his mother go to open the door.

The door opens.

When Qiao first saw Duan Mingfeng, she was stunned in astonishment.

Duan Mingfeng bowed and said, "Madam Ji."

But Qiao reacted quickly.

There is no such thing as a visit without a request. Duan Mingfeng specifically chose the day when Xiaowu came back to visit the Ji family and entered Anjuyuan without even saying hello.

Qiao's eyes changed.

If the person who bullied Xiaowu was the notoriously ruthless Lord Duan from the Imperial City Bureau, it would make sense. No wonder she was so cowardly.

Qiao asked with a surprised look on her face: "Are you here to see Qingwu? Or are you here to see me?"

Duan Mingfeng lowered his head and said, "Madam Ji, it's not me who came to see you."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make room for him. Behind him stood a man wearing a light green robe with an ink-gray vine pattern.

The light shining on this handsome face seemed to absorb all the light around it.

Any expression on Qiao's face disappeared completely, and he felt a little flustered and short of breath.

Zhao Mingyan had just been listening to the conversation in the room with an expressionless face, and now he saw the woman who was about to throw money at him.

He raised his lips slightly and said, "Madam, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you feeling well?"

The emperor, who was lying unconscious in the palace, appeared at his doorstep and greeted her.

Although Qiao was in shock and had a thousand questions in his mind, he also knew that the door was not the place to talk.
