Nanny Liu carried Qiao Jiaojiao back to the backyard. The banquets on both sides had already begun.

Mrs. Qiao excused herself and stepped down from the table to feed Qiao Jiaojiao.

Nanny Liu told the funny story of Qiao Jiaojiao wetting her pants in the front yard, which made Mrs. Qiao laugh.

"Madam, there is no need for tomorrow, just tonight, the news that our young lady peed on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will most likely spread throughout the capital!"

Qiao Jiaojiao:(

ω＼)

Could this be the legendary story of how one pee will make everyone know about it?

There was a warm atmosphere in the room when there was a knock on the door.

"Madam, it's the servant."

That was the sound of another maid reading a book.

"Liu Shu, come in." Nanny Liu responded in a low voice.

Liu Shu pushed the door open and came in, looking a little anxious, "Madam, Madam Meng just said that Miss Meng went to change clothes before the banquet and has not returned yet."

"She is worried that Miss Meng might bump into the distinguished guests in front. She seems a little angry now and wants Madam to send a few people out to look for her."

Qiao Jiaojiao was already drowsy, but she was immediately startled when she heard the words!

[What! Meng Guxue is missing? ]

[It's over, it's over. She must have quietly slipped to the front yard! She might be looking at Prince Jing from a distance, with a loving look in her eyes.]

[This sister is really brave and reckless. If she didn't have the aura of the protagonist, she would have been in big trouble just for offending the crown prince and the prince because of the official's daughter! ]

Madam Qiao looked calm when she heard this, and said calmly, "Send a few clever maids to look for her. There are many people in the mansion today, and it's noisy everywhere. I guess we can't find her until the banquet is over, right?"

Liu Shu's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he understood instantly.

"I understand."

Mrs. Qiao nodded with satisfaction and warned, "Don't make a fuss. Today is Jiaojiao's full moon banquet. No mistakes are allowed."

Liu Shu responded and went out.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Qiao with her sparkling eyes.

[Why do I feel like my mother has something else in her words? ]

Mrs. Qiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and coaxed Qiao Jiaojiao softly, "Jiaojiao is exhausted today, take a nap first."

Qiao Jiaojiao was shaken so much that her eyelids soon began to droop, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Qiao looked out the window with a solemn look in her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

There is a small garden in the backyard of the Qiao residence. It was built by my husband in his spare time. There are rockeries and locust trees scattered around, which is based on the method of deploying troops. Without someone to guide you, it is difficult to get out.

Miss Meng is so restless and wants to use the Qiao Mansion to curry favor with the powerful, so let her stay there until the banquet is over.

At this moment, in the small garden, Meng Guxue walked to the same intersection for the sixth time.

Looking at the familiar marks on the rockery wall, Meng Guxue completely collapsed.

What the hell is this place?

Besides, she really needs to pee now!

The banquet lasted for a whole hour, and Mrs. Meng was so anxious that her mouth was almost blistered.

Seeing that most of the guests had left, Mrs. Meng slumped in her seat, almost crying with fear.

At this moment, Liu Shu hurried forward and leaned over to whisper in Madam Meng's ear:

"Mrs. Meng, we found Miss Meng. She just got lost in the backyard. It's nothing serious."

Mrs. Meng shuddered, as if she had survived a drowning incident by surfacing from the water.

"Hurry, take me to see that dead girl!" Mrs. Meng no longer cared about her face and said gritting her teeth.

After seeing Meng Guxue in such a miserable state, Mrs. Meng wanted to slap her in the face.

But Meng Guxue's first words were: "Mother, have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the others left?"

Madam Meng suddenly felt dizzy, because Meng Guxue asked directly in front of Madam Qiao's maid, this, this, this......

What a misfortune for this family!

"You stupid girl, come back with me now. Don't even think about stepping out of your room for the next six months!"

Liu Shu pretended not to hear and wanted to walk away. Madam Meng was so embarrassed that she asked Liu Shu to stay and left, grabbing Meng Guxue's arm.

When Liu Shu went back and reported everything to Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao's face instantly turned extremely cold.

"She really has this in mind."

After all the guests had left, Duke Yan came to the door carrying a wooden box.

When Mrs. Qiao saw her biological father, she felt happy and close to him.

"Dad! Why did you come just now?"

Although the Duke of Yan has gray hair on his temples, he has a sturdy figure, a straight back, and looks very healthy.

He chuckled and said in a loud voice, "Jing'er, you know that Dad hates that kind of occasion the most."

Mrs. Qiao shook her head helplessly and hurriedly went to hug Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao was almost asleep, but the bumpy ride woke her up completely.

Madam Qiao pushed Qiao Jiaojiao into Duke Yan's arms and said, "Jiaojiao, come and meet your grandfather."

Qiao Jiaojiao’s eyes widened.

[Wow, is this my grandfather? He looks so young, not like he’s in his sixties at all!]

Mrs. Qiao smiled, it was a pity that her father couldn't hear Jiaojiao's thoughts, otherwise he would have been very happy.

Duke Yan held Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms with great affection and handed her the wooden box.

"Jing'er, keep it for Jiaojiao. This will be her dowry from now on."

Mrs. Qiao took the wooden box with curiosity and almost dropped it on her foot.

“So heavy!?”

She opened the box and looked inside, and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

A box of gold, filled with various longevity locks, bracelets, and even hairpins.

Mrs. Qiao was shocked. This must be worth a lot of money!

"Dad, there are too many. My daughter cannot take them."

Duke Yan said sternly, "It's not for you, it's for Jiaojiao. You are not allowed to refuse, it's a gift from Jiaojiao's grandmother."

Mrs. Qiao was stunned when she heard this. Her mother had been gone for more than ten years.

Duke Yan teased Qiao Jiaojiao while saying softly, "Your mother has been preparing for it since Di Yi's child was born. She said she would definitely give birth to a girl later."

"Girls are all going to get married, and the dowry must be generous, so we prepared it early. Who would have thought that we would have to wait for fourteen years for this baby."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she recalled her mother's gentle and caring look, and her nose felt sore.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw Mrs. Qiao’s red eyes, she couldn’t help but feel distressed.

[Mother also misses her own mother. Grandmother must be a very kind elder to think so far ahead for mother. If she knew that mother would be so depressed, I wonder how distressed she would be.]

When Mrs. Qiao heard what Qiao Jiaojiao said, her heart ached and she almost burst into tears.

If my mother knew that the Duke of Yan's Mansion would be ruined like that by my eldest brother and his wife in the future, and knew that he and his wife would kill the Qiao family, how sad and upset she would be.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao pinched her sleeves hard and made up her mind.

After Qiao Jiaojiao was taken away by Aunt Liu, Madam Qiao said sternly, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
