Chapter 372 Can't Hide
"So, Fifth Sister is really hiding something from us?" Qiao Zhiyan suddenly asked with a gloomy face.
Mother Ding choked, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.
The eldest young master was so smart that he actually caught the loophole in her words.
Liangchen looked up weakly at his masters, then quickly lowered his head.
Looking at the expressions of the two people, it seemed that there was something they didn't understand.
Mrs. Qiao did not ask any more questions and told them to get up: "Go back and don't let the young lady know that you came to the front yard."
The two bowed their heads and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Qiao waved to them, and Liangchen and Mother Ding turned and left.
On the way back, Liangchen asked, "Mother Ding, what does Madam mean by this? Are you really not going to ask any more questions?"
"How is that possible? If she hadn't suspected anything, it would be fine. But since the Madam has become suspicious, she will definitely get to the bottom of it. We didn't tell anyone because we got the Young Lady's order. The Madam couldn't bear to embarrass us, but there must be someone else who knows."
Just like the Lu family.
This matter is no secret in the Lu family. The old lady and the master have instructed the servants not to tell it to anyone. If the Qiao family wants to know, they can always find a way to get information out of them. After all, they are not the only ones who followed the young lady back from the Lu family.
The madam didn't make things difficult for her and Liangchen, but that didn't mean she would be so polite to all the servants.
Mother Ding's guess was not wrong at all, but Mrs. Qiao didn't know that everyone in the Lu family knew what happened to her daughter. She just thought that as her daughter's dowry, even if she was not a personal servant, since she was in the Lu family, she would know something, even if it was not much, maybe she could guess the general situation from the scattered information.
So she turned around and told Qiao Zeran: "Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you. I want to know the truth within five days."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zeran slumped down on the stool like a dead fish: "Mom, you can call me Big Brother. He is the best at interrogation."
"You are quite free." Mrs. Qiao glared at him and said.
"I'm not idle, I'm very busy." Qiao Zeran shouted.
Mr. Qiao held up his teacup and glared at him rudely: "What are you busy with? Are you busy visiting brothels or going to the theater?"
Qiao Zeran choked suddenly: "..."
Dad, is it okay for you to expose me so ruthlessly?
"Since when have brothels and theaters become more important than your own sister?" Seeing that his third son had nothing to say, Mr. Qiao sneered again.
puff……
It's so heartbreaking.
"No, Dad. What I mean is that five days is not enough." He didn't even know what happened to his sister, yet he had to find out everything within five days. It was a bit embarrassing.
Master Qiao: "If you don't have this ability, what's the point of keeping you? You can't do anything. You are the best."
Puff puff…
After two consecutive slashes, Qiao Zeran felt that his three souls and seven spirits were gone.
He was so stimulated by his own father that he floated away.
"Stop talking, Dad. I'll check... isn't it okay for me to check?" Qiao Zeran said with a look of despair.
You really are my dad.
Too cruel.
However, what surprised Qiao Zeran was that it took only three days for him to investigate his sister's affairs, instead of five days, and two of the maids who had accompanied the family at the time confessed voluntarily.
The reason was simple. Qiao Zeran picked two maids who looked the most restless and sacrificed their beauty, but he was successful in fooling them.
However, after learning the truth from the two of them, he was so angry that he didn't even bother to deal with the two careless maids. He rushed to his parents' main courtyard in a hurry.
Mr. Qiao was massaging Mrs. Qiao's legs to please her. When his son came in, he was half-kneeling on the ground...
The master is almost unable to bear it any longer.
When there is no one around, massaging his wife's legs and shoulders, no matter how humble he is, is all fun between husband and wife. But if his son sees it, Mr. Qiao wants to poke out Qiao Zeran's eyes.
Qiao Zeran was also startled.
I didn't expect you to be such a father.
I usually pamper my mother enough, but I didn't expect that he would kneel down and massage her legs in private.
Mrs. Qiao calmly withdrew her legs and pulled up her husband, who was wishing he could find a crack to crawl into.
The corners of Qiao Zeran's mouth twitched, but before Master Qiao got angry, he shouted loudly.
"Ah, Dad, Mom, I'm here to tell you something important."
"Oh, I'm so scared. Can you talk properly, you little bastard? You're so jumpy." Mr. Qiao patted his chest and glared at his son. Then he turned around and asked Mrs. Qiao with concern: "Madam, you're not scared, are you?"
Mrs. Qiao calmed down, shook her head, and looked at Qiao Zeran: "What's the matter?"
"Regarding Fifth Sister, I asked two maids about the dowry that we asked her to bring. That bastard Lu Chao was set up in a gambling game some time ago and lost 100,000 taels. In order to save him, my sister raised money and went deep into the Tiger Cave..."
Qiao Zeran told him everything he had heard.
Mr. Qiao was initially shocked and then became furious.
"If Lu Xiang hadn't arrived in time to save my sister, she would have been insulted by those people. How could she live in this world with her personality?" Qiao Zeran said at the end, his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound, and a cold look on his handsome face.
It was just a little bit, just a little bit, and he might have lost his only sister.
Mrs. Qiao covered her chest, feeling angry and heartbroken: "No wonder, no wonder Ru'er is determined to divorce this time."
"You are so good, Lu Chao. You almost ruined my daughter, and yet you still have the nerve to beg Ru'er to come back." Master Qiao was furious and gasped for breath.
Suddenly, the steward came to report: "Master, Madam, the third young master, the son-in-law has come with a cart of gifts. Should I let him in or drive him away?"
Mr. Qiao's face suddenly turned as cold as a gust of wind, making people tremble with fear.
"Heh, since you are asking for your own death, don't blame me for being rude. Let him in."
The steward shuddered suddenly, wondering why the master looked like he was going to kill someone.
He hesitated for a moment, feeling that if he let his son-in-law in, his life might be in danger.
"What are you still standing there for?" Master Qiao shouted angrily.
The steward immediately turned and ran away.
He is just a slave, why should he think so much?
"Son-in-law, the master invites you in." In order to prevent Lu Chao from noticing his abnormality, the steward tried to put on a flattering smile and said.
Lu Chao was delighted, thinking that his sincerity over the past few days had finally moved his father-in-law.
Now he is allowed to enter the Qiao Mansion, and soon he will be able to take Qiao Qiao home.
"Send someone to help bring in these gifts, and be careful." Lu Chao ordered.
The steward nodded without hesitation: "I know, sir, please."
