It was already the next day when Mrs. Qiao received the news.

After a night, Zuo Anning was obviously much calmer.

But only she knew how tormented the night was.

After breakfast, Mrs. Qiao pulled Zuo Anning aside.

Just now, Duke Yan sent someone to convey a message, specifically saying that there was no need to hide it from An Ning.

So Madam Qiao told him everything about Duke Yan's decision yesterday and the news that Madam Zuo was about to leave Beijing.

Zuo Anjing listened quietly, and soon his eyes became red.

She could tell that her grandfather was thinking about her in every way...

Mrs. Qiao looked at Zuo Anning tenderly and said softly, "Anning, whatever you want to do, your aunt will support you."

Upon hearing this, Zuo An Ning suddenly raised his head, with a trace of uneasiness on his face.

"Aunt, I want to see my mother off, is that okay? I won't get off the carriage. After all, there are so many people around. I know the stakes involved and I won't let my grandfather down for his hard work."

"But she is my mother after all, I really..."

Mrs. Qiao touched her head when she heard this and said, "Silly child, what's wrong with that? Your aunt has already prepared a carriage for you. If you want to go, you should go out now."

Mrs. Qiao is very meticulous, how could she not guess what Zuo An Ning was thinking?

Zuo An Ning was deeply moved and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt, An Ning is really grateful to you!"

Madam Qiao sent Nanny Liu to follow Zuo An Ning closely, but she herself did not go with them.

Even though Jiaojiao's prediction had never come true, my sister-in-law really had this idea in mind, and she wanted to harm the Qiao family!

She could love the innocent An Ning unconditionally, but she could not sympathize with those who deliberately murdered the Qiao family!

My father did not mention the baby in my sister-in-law's belly in the letter, so I don't know how he made the decision.

But no matter what, one thing is beyond doubt.

With the methods my father uses, my sister-in-law will never be able to return to the capital!

Qiao Jiaojiao was leaning on a small stool, trying hard to practice walking.

Seeing Zuo An Ning hurriedly walked out, she raised her little face, her heart full of emotion.

[Li Xusheng is dead, and my aunt has been driven out of the capital. In this way, our Qiao family has escaped the fatal disaster of treason.]

[Although we don’t know how many hidden dangers there will be in the future, and the hero will definitely not give up, but at least within the known scope, we are working hard to eliminate all hidden dangers! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel full of confidence!

[Moreover, we have also changed the fate of cousin An Ning! Now that grandfather is in charge, we will definitely find the best marriage for cousin An Ning! ]

[By the way, I wonder if there is any chance for cousin An Ning and Tan Hanchi to have a relationship...]

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but start to think about it.

Whenever my husband mentions Tan Hanchi, he always praises him highly. If such a good boy could be together with An Ning, that would be great.

Moreover, the support of the Duke of Yan's Mansion cannot depend on my brother. If my father has a reliable grandson-in-law, he can rest assured.

At first, An Ning had her sister-in-law as a potential threat, so she was still worried. But now everything is perfect!

The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the more excited she became. Taking into account the smart little Qiao Jiaojiao, both mother and daughter were burning with curiosity!

[As for the nearest opportunity, isn't my eldest brother's wedding coming up soon? ]

[When the wedding night is over, it will be a chance for us to meet openly! ]

[Hehe, I guess Big Brother wouldn't mind letting his good brother find a partner through his wedding, right? ]

[Ah, as soon as I heard that my elder brother was getting married, I already started missing my elder sister-in-law Xiangxiang! ]

[Wow, why is the time going by so slowly? I want to see my brother and sister-in-law show off their love! I want to be a c!]

When Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, Dalang’s wedding is coming soon, and then dad can meet Tan Hanchi at the banquet!

Not to mention Jiaojiao, even the mother-in-law can’t wait to meet her eldest daughter-in-law!

What a good girl! She was taken away by their Dalang!

But, what is dog food?

Why do Dalang and Miss Han have to spread dog food when they get married? What kind of weird custom is this?

No matter what, Jiaojiao's words always make sense. When Dalang gets married, let the servants scatter some food for the dogs nearby...

Zuo An Ning asked the coachman to drive the carriage out of the city gate, and then he lifted a small corner of the curtain and waited quietly in the carriage.

About a quarter of an hour later, a plain carriage slowly drove out.

Zuo Anning suddenly sat up straight.

She saw an inconspicuous logo on the wall of the carriage, which was a neatly written word "Chen".

"mother......"

Zuo An Ning called out silently, feeling an unbearable pain in his heart.

She knew in her heart that it was almost impossible for a woman to survive after committing adultery, and it was already good enough that her mother was alive and well and could leave the capital to live an ordinary life.

My grandparents will not treat my mother badly, and she will have enough food and clothing in a strange place.

"Mother, I bid you farewell here."

As Zuo An Ning spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction the carriage was leaving.

Nanny Liu was originally worried that Zuo An Ning was too young to be able to hold back and catch up, but now seeing how calm she was, she couldn't help but nod secretly.

This cousin and my wife looked very similar when they were young.

Three days later, at the Zongrenfu.

The second prince sat at the desk, holding the "Book of Filial Piety" in his hands and reading it, looking really well-behaved and honest.

After a while, there were faint footsteps coming from behind the palace. The Second Prince asked in a deep voice without even raising his head:

"No news yet, Asheng?"

Zhufeng walked up to the second prince, knelt down, and shook his head solemnly.

"Your Highness, could it be that Li Xusheng... escaped?"

Zhufeng felt uneasy, after all, Li Xusheng knew a lot about His Highness.

His Highness seemed to think highly of Li Xusheng. Last time, he failed to get rid of the yamen runners in time. Although His Highness was angry, he did not blame him too much.

"Won't."

The second prince shook his head without hesitation.

"Ah Sheng is a very loyal person. I happened to save his mother's life back then. He has been loyal to me over the years and will never have second thoughts."

"Besides, he is a filial son. His mother is still in the capital. How could he abandon her and -"

At this point, the second prince was stunned.

Since Asheng will not betray him and will not abandon his mother, there is only one possibility.

He knew Ah Sheng well. If he was caught, he would definitely seek an opportunity to commit suicide in order not to expose himself...

Thinking of this, the Second Prince's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but clench his hands.

"Zhu Feng, go check on the wife of the Duke of Yan's mansion. Don't miss any clues. Report back immediately!"

When Zhufeng saw the expression of the Second Prince, he had a premonition and his face changed drastically.

He didn't dare to delay and got up and left immediately.

The second prince sat alone in the quiet room, looking at the sunny weather outside the window, but his heart was cold.

Ah Sheng has been guarding him day and night for so many years, and has also taught him many self-defense techniques. They are both teachers and friends...

If Ah Sheng really encounters an accident, he will definitely find out the murderer and avenge Ah Sheng at all costs!
