Marquis Jinghai's face was burning hot. If it weren't for Zhao Letong, the three-and-a-half-year-old kid, Qiao Yujiao would not have been married yet. In the eyes of the elders, she would not be a child!
But Zhao Letong is only three and a half years old. He is a real child. What he just said was like a joke.
Mrs. Zhao came forward. Normally, the mistress Wu should have been the one to deal with it, but Wu thought about how Zhao had just embarrassed her mother for a concubine, and her heart was cold as ice, so she didn't want to care about her.
Qiao Yu cried bitterly, "What do you want? You've got so many people coming here to bully me? Then just beat me to death. I just said something careless, and you mobilized so many people. Just beating me to death will satisfy you, right?"
The Zhao family was speechless. This was a bit shameless. If you apologized sincerely and admitted your mistake, they would not have to make a fuss about it with a girl. If you said this, you would really be unrepentant.
There is also a bit of a sense of turning the tables. After all, the Zhao family is of higher status than the Jinghai Marquis. Forcing her to kneel down and beg for mercy is a bit aggressive and not tolerant enough.
Zhao Letong blinked her big eyes. At the critical moment, she had to step forward. The family was full of military generals, and the sisters-in-law were all good at taking action instead of talking. Without her, the family would become a saw-mouthed gourd.
"Who said I was going to beat you to death? Big brother, didn't you teach me that if I admit my mistakes and correct them, I'm still a good child? Was she wrong? Why is she still so arrogant?"
[This is really interesting. I've never seen such an arrogant person. Go ahead and hit her. Don't think we don't dare. If you can't do it, I'll do it. I'm just a child. It's not too much to hit her, right?]
Zhao Youxi said sarcastically, "She's not as sensible as my three-and-a-half-year-old aunt. Don't keep saying it was unintentional. If you didn't think so in your heart, would you open your mouth and curse at people like that?
It's not unfair to hit you, and don't say we bullied you. My aunt-in-law hit me, so it's not too much, right?"
Zhao Letong grasped the chubby white paw and said seriously, "If you want a fight, I'll grant your wish. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. My father taught me that."
What this means is, what kind of children would Marquis Jinghai not teach?
Marquis Jinghai scolded, "Jiaojiao, apologize to them. There is no child in our family who doesn't understand reason."
Qiao Yujiao felt extremely aggrieved, but no one in her family helped her. She glanced at Wu, who sneered at her. Did she realize that she had come to her, her own mother, now?
But she wouldn't care. She thought she was capable enough, so she could handle it herself.
"I'm sorry, okay?"
Qiao Yujiao had no choice but to apologize, and Zhao Letong pouted: "Hmph, no sincerity, no forgiveness."
"you……"
Mrs. Zhao pinched her waist and said, "What are you talking about? You want to be mean to my sister? We Zhao family members are still here. Marquis Jinghai is really well-educated. Who would dare to marry a daughter like this?"
Qiao Yujiao's face changed. If her reputation as a domineering person got out, it would be difficult for her to find a good marriage.
But in her era, girls were self-reliant and did not depend on anyone. What was the point of relying on men?
If she can't marry into a good family, she won't marry. She doesn't believe that she can't support herself after reading 300 Tang poems and having countless advanced ways to make money.
"Your family is always protecting their own shortcomings. This child is so rude to others. She says one thing to your face and another behind your back. If she hadn't started the fight today, I wouldn't have said that."
Zhao Letong's eyes widened. "This woman is lying with her eyes open. She was the one who started it. I really want to give her a truth talisman to stop her from lying."
Zhao Youxi and his brother looked at each other. Is there such a talisman paper? My aunt is quite powerful.
Mrs. Zhao was not happy about this. "Who doesn't protect their own family? If you don't protect your own family, are you still a human being? But you, with so many people at home, your own mother doesn't even say a word to help you. It shows how unpopular you are."
He is not upright himself, and he still has the nerve to criticize others.
Little sister, let's not argue with her. There are so many people in the capital watching us. I want to see what good will happen to Miss Qiao'er after she commits such a suicidal act."
The Zhao family was too lazy to argue with her, so Zhao Xing bowed and said, "My Lord, I'm leaving now. My child will be taught by himself. As for your child, hmph, you can take care of it yourself."
Let's go. I think the Marquis is also protective of his own family. There's nothing wrong with that."
Marquis Jinghai panicked, "No, Lord Zhao, I don't mean to protect you. Don't leave yet. I'll have this rebellious girl apologize to the young lady."
"No, I don't want to see her."
Zhao Letong tilted her head. She didn't want to forgive even though she apologized. It wasn't sincere anyway.
Marquis Jinghai was anxious. Everyone knew how much Zhao Biao doted on his little daughter. It was not a good thing to be remembered by Zhao Biao.
"You rebellious girl, you are not even as good as a child. Hurry up and apologize to the young lady, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you according to my family rules."
Qiao Yujiao had no choice but to apologize. She wanted to get through this first and get back at him later. The Zhao family was very nice, and she would remember that.
Seeing her gloomy eyes, Zhao Letong felt dissatisfied. He clasped his hands together and cast a mantra, asking her to tell the truth and not lie to deceive others.
However, her cultivation was still shallow at that time, and this mantra talisman exhausted all her spiritual energy. She leaned drowsily in Zhao Youping's arms, forcing herself to stay awake and watch how Qiao Yujiao made a fool of herself.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? What kind of person are you? The Zhao family is just a bunch of reckless men. I'll kill them with just a flick of my finger. If they offend me now, they'll regret it later."
When Qiao Yujiao's vicious voice rang out, not only the Zhao family, but also the family members of the Jinghai Marquis Mansion were stunned.
"Second sister, shut up, what are you talking about?"
Marquis Jinghai slapped her across the face and said, "Are you crazy? How dare you talk nonsense? I'll beat you to death, you rebellious girl!"
Zhao Xing's face was gloomy and ugly. "I didn't expect that Marquis Jinghai would have such a strong opinion of my Zhao family. I just found out today. It seems we shouldn't have come. Farewell."
"Master Zhao, this is a misunderstanding. This rebellious girl acted on her own. I will teach her a lesson. This was not my intention."
"How did you teach him a lesson? Did you beat him to death?"
Zhao Letong asked coldly, she should never, ever want to harm the entire Zhao family. She should reveal her thoughts in advance so that her family members could be more on guard.
Marquis Jinghai couldn't promise, after all, she was his biological daughter.
Zhao Youping snorted coldly, carried her and left first. He could see that his aunt was in a bad mood.
Qiao Yujiao's sudden loss of composure must have something to do with her aunt. I feel sorry for her aunt who has sacrificed so much for the family.
Zhao Youxi was also worried, "Aunt, are you okay?"
I'm feeling down and out of energy. If only I had braised pork elbow, eight-treasure duck, braised chicken, sweet and sour fish, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, crab roe buns, and bird's nest porridge, I'd be fine.
Zhao Youxi: “…”
Is his aunt a foodie?
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I'll go back and make arrangements. My little sister wants to eat, so we must satisfy her."
None of them mentioned the Jinghai Marquisate. If they dared to harbor murderous intentions towards the Zhao family, they could not be allowed to stay.
Not to mention Qiao Yujiao's own thoughts, Marquis Jinghai had to bear the consequences for his poor parenting skills.
