When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his expression changed several times.

If the Second Prince really behaved like this, it would mean that he, like them, had started planning from the moment the candidate for the Crown Princess was decided!

No, we must not let the Second Prince get ahead of them!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly turned around and smiled at General Xiao, "Lao Da, I'm going to change my clothes, can you help me look after Jiaojiao!"

General Xiao's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this. "Ah? Me?"

When his two daughters were young, he spent most of his time guarding the southern border and never took care of the children!

"Just for a while, just don't let Jiaojiao fall!"

Qiao Zhongguo said this and turned away, looking really anxious.

Upon seeing this, General Xiao hurriedly filled Qiao Zhongguo's place and opened his arms to stop Qiao Jiaojiao on the couch.

Qiao Jiaojiao yelled, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"

She was so anxious that she wondered when this little guy would be able to speak!

When General Xiao saw that Qiao Jiaojiao was disobedient, he was at a loss for a moment and could only stare at her with his big eyes.

As Qiao Jiaojiao watched Qiao Zhongguo disappear into the inner hall, her lips pursed and she sat back weakly.

[If this continues, I can only use the things in the mall to defy fate and speak in front of my parents and brother! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao had seen it a long time ago. There was a thing called a sound transmission talisman in the mall. It could turn one's inner thoughts into sound and transmit it to the person who was struck by the talisman.

[They love me so much, they shouldn’t treat me as a monster...]

Qiao Jiaojiao sighed secretly and started to stare at General Xiao.

After Qiao Zhongguo came out of the inner hall, he waved to Qiao Tianjing with a serious expression.

Qiao Tianjing's heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Qiao Zhongguo pulled Qiao Tianjing aside and repeated Qiao Jiaojiao's guess in a low voice.

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, you look so ugly, it really scared your son."

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows when he saw Qiao Tianjing's unhurried look, and then he heard Qiao Tianjing say:

"Dad, I found out a few days ago that there was something fishy about Guo Gaoyi. How could my son not be on guard?"

"He has two secret guards following him at all times. My son specifically told them not to leave his side at all times!"

"But my sister's reminder is indeed very important. It seems that the Second Prince is ready to take action!"

"Dad, in that case, you and my second brother should stay at the Xiao Mansion for dinner tonight. I will go back first and send someone to warn those two secret guards!"

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Qiao Tianjing in a daze.

Qiao Tianjing was a little confused, "What's wrong, Dad? Did I make some inappropriate arrangements?"

Qiao Zhongguo shook his head.

It’s appropriate. It’s really appropriate.

It was so proper that even his father felt ashamed of himself!

He...how on earth did he give birth to such a smart son?

"You...you go ahead."

Qiao Zhongguo waved his hand.

Qiao Tianjing looked towards the inner hall with some hesitation.

"Dad, isn't it impolite to leave without saying goodbye? Do you want your son to personally say goodbye to General Xiao?"

Qiao Zhongguo shook his head and said, Lao Da can be your godfather, so there is no need to be polite.

"Go ahead, hurry up."

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing nodded, took a few steps, and turned back.

"Dad, I'm probably very worried. When you go in, tell me calmly that I just received a report from the secret guards that there was some unusual movement over there with Guo Gaoyi, so I rushed over."

"This way, my little sister can feel at ease."

Qiao Zhongguo was confused again.

Thoughtful, so thoughtful.

How on earth did he give birth to such a well-rounded son?

"father?"

Qiao Tianjing was a little confused. Why didn't his father pay attention to him?

Qiao Zhongguo pushed him out and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Can't I think of this?"

The old father who has been strong all his life must never let his son see the flaw!

Qiao Tianjing nodded, looking convinced, "My son is worrying too much, Dad, I will go back first."

Qiao Tianjing walked out under the guidance of the Xiao family's servants.

Qiao Zhongguo looked at his son's tall and thin back, and his heart was filled with emotion.

I still remember when Jiaojiao was just born, the eldest brother was so careless that he handed the discarded manuscripts to the servants to deal with.

In less than a year, he has quietly grown to this point, making his father feel ashamed of himself.

He should be happy that his son has grown up and is able to shoulder big responsibilities, but he can't help feeling sad when he sees that his eldest son has to worry so much even though he is only old enough to start a family.

I hope that after all their efforts, they can change their predetermined fate, resolve all hidden dangers, and live happily together as a family!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo turned and walked towards the inner hall.

Seeing that his father and brother were whispering in a mysterious manner, Qiao Diyi was afraid that he would delay things, so he did not step forward until this time.

"Dad, why did my eldest brother leave first? Did something happen at home?"

Qiao Zhongguo looked at Qiao Diyi who understood nothing and shook his head.

Second son...let his future father-in-law teach him!

After entering the inner hall, Qiao Zhongguo saw that his daughter had run into Xiao Hongda's arms.

Wow, it’s still held high!

Xiao Hongda was having a great time coaxing Qiao Jiaojiao, but when he saw Qiao Zhongguo coming in, his face turned slightly red and he quickly stuffed Qiao Jiaojiao into Qiao Zhongguo's arms.

"Haha, Old Joe, your daughter is so clingy. She insisted on being hugged by me."

Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”

[General Xiao is bullying a baby who can't talk! He was the one who saw that I was so cute that he wanted to hold me! He even held me up high!]

Qiao Zhongguo smiled meaningfully at Xiao Hongda, "Yes, my Jiaojiao loves to cling to people the most."

Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”

Qiao Zhongguo knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking about Guo Gaoyi, so he quickly said:

"Lao Da, my Dalang has gone back first."

Xiao Hongda was surprised when he heard this. "What's the matter? Didn't you say you would stay for dinner?"

Qiao Zhongguo lowered his voice and explained, "Da Lang had already sent someone to follow Guo Gaoyi. He just received news that there was some unusual movement on Guo Gaoyi's side, so he rushed over in a hurry."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she was immediately shocked!

[Ah! It must be the Second Prince taking action! ]

[Great! It turns out that Big Brother had been prepared! I was really scared to death. I was just considering whether to take the risk and use the sound transmission note!]

[Wow, big brother is really too reliable! ]

General Xiao couldn't help but praise him when he heard this.

"Old Qiao, your son Dalang looks very steady, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. How did you raise him to have such a carefree personality?"

Qiao Zhongguo felt guilty, but he would never show weakness.

"Lao Da, do you know what it means to be rough but delicate? I am talking about you! Da Lang was taught by me personally!"

"Ahem, of course. My Erlang is also very good. He is still a rough diamond. Old Da, you should teach him well! When he becomes successful in the future, I will give him to you as your son-in-law!"

General Xiao: “…”

How come I can tell someone wants to be a hands-off boss...

Qiao Jiaojiao also relaxed at this moment and couldn't help but giggle when she heard this.

[Dad, let General Xiao kidnap my second brother first, and then kidnap the girl. If you do this, be careful or General Xiao will come after you and kill you!]
