Duke Yan would naturally not miss anything that Mrs. Qiao could think of.

"I sent someone to ask the Li family's ancestral home, and found out that the Li family has never returned since they came to the capital."

"In the past few months, I had people carry the portraits around to conduct secret investigations, and by coincidence, I actually found some clues."

"The Li family used to make a living by selling tofu pudding in the local area. There was a tofu stall on the corner of Gutian Street. The stall owner was an old lady with a broken leg. She looked very similar to Li Xusheng's mother."

"After several contacts, the spies learned that the stall owner's husband seemed to have been beaten to death, and her son was missing."

"However, after several visits, the spies discovered that occasionally a hunchbacked man would come to the stall to help. Although the man looked old, he was actually an outsider master!"

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she covered her mouth and whispered, "Could this person be Li Xusheng?"

Duke Yan nodded solemnly, "Jing'er, you would never guess who this Li Xusheng is working for now."

Mrs. Qiao's heart was pounding. It turned out that everything had a traceable path. Jiaojiao had really been right!

The Duke of Yan's next words completely confirmed Mrs. Qiao's guess.

"Second Prince, Li Xusheng is now your subordinate, and he is guarding you closely, never leaving your side!"

Duke Yan paced back and forth in the room with a worried look on his face.

"Jing'er, your sister-in-law's family may have tried to kill the Li family for this marriage, but Li Xusheng not only escaped death, but is now rising to prominence."

"This person can endure what ordinary people cannot endure. He is definitely not a good person. We must be on guard!"

Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale. Yes, Li Xusheng was indeed amazing.

According to Jiaojiao's prophecy, he could even suppress his hatred and use their old relationship to persuade his sister-in-law to work for him, thus pushing the Qiao family into an abyss of no return!

This matter has gone beyond the limits of her interference in the rear house, and it is time to give her husband a warning.

Mrs. Qiao looked solemn. This time, she would not allow any evil people to harm the Qiao family or the Duke's Mansion!

After Duke Yan finished saying these words, he secretly looked at his daughter with an inquiring expression.

Jing'er told him that day that she heard some rumors and thought of investigating it.

But in fact, the in-laws covered up this matter very well, and people in the Beijing circle didn't even know the existence of the Li family.

How did Jing'er know such a secret and take the trouble to lead him to investigate?

However, Duke Yan loved his daughter dearly, and seeing that Madam Qiao was not prepared to speak, he had no intention of pressing her.

He firmly believed that his daughter had been smart and clever since childhood, and was close to and filial to him as a father, and would never do anything to harm the Duke's Mansion.

The Qiao family had lunch at the Duke's Mansion before leaving.

After returning to the Qiao family, Qiao Jiaojiao was taken away by Qiao Tianjing and Diyi to play, so Qiao Zhongguo and his wife closed the door and started a private conversation.

Mrs. Qiao grabbed her husband's hand and said with a flickering look:

"Husband, I heard a big thing from my father today!"

Qiao Zhongguo was a little distracted at first, but he became serious after hearing this, "What's wrong, ma'am? Is there any difficulty that my father-in-law has encountered?"

Mrs. Qiao snuggled in Qiao Zhongguo's arms and said softly, "Dad heard some rumors about my sister-in-law, so he sent someone to investigate, but the result was unexpected!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately remembered what Qiao Jiaojiao had mentioned, that Madam Zuo had a childhood sweetheart, and he sat up straighter.

His attention has been focused on the Northern Kingdom and the Second Prince these days, and he almost overlooked this matter!

At that moment, Mrs. Qiao recounted the story of Li Xusheng and said with a worried look on her face:

"My husband, even though it was my sister-in-law's family who attacked his Li family, will he also hate the Duke's Mansion and our Qiao Mansion because of this?"

Qiao Zhongguo's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were cold, but he gently touched the top of Mrs. Qiao's head with his hand and said softly:

"Madam, don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

Mrs. Qiao leaned on Qiao Zhongguo's shoulder, put her arms around his waist intimately like a young couple, and nodded gently.

"With my husband around, Jing'er has always felt at ease."

The room was quiet for a while. Qiao Zhongguo suddenly turned his head and whispered into Mrs. Qiao's cheek with slightly red ears.

"Jiaojiao is already four months old. Madam, have you had a good rest? I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly turned red with shame.

Since Qiao Jiaojiao was born, she has personally taken care of her every night. Qiao Zhongguo also understands her and did not speak for four months.

Thinking of the absurd and passionate love they had had in the past, Mrs. Qiao suddenly felt a little weak all over.

She hesitated for a long time, still as shy as a young girl.

"Night... Let's talk about it later."

Qiao Zhongguo leaned over, his eyes shining, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you let Madam Liu take Jiaojiao to sleep tonight? I have been holding it in for too long."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she felt a surge of heat rushing to her head. She punched him in shame and anger, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She then lowered her head and acquiesced.

Qiao Zhongguo smiled happily and suddenly picked up Mrs. Qiao sideways, scaring her so much that she screamed.

Qiao Tianjing was holding Qiao Jiaojiao when he walked to the door. He heard the fighting noise in the room. His face suddenly turned red and he quickly ran away.

Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled slyly.

[Hey, brother, are you allergic to romance? Running so fast! ]

[If I can publish a book in the future, I will write one called "The Divine Love between My Parents". Oh, oh, oh, it's really sweet! ]

Qiao Tianjing is a thin-skinned man. He walked very fast along the way, but Qiao Jiaojiao was still talking nonsense.

[A family with a righteous tradition is different. Young masters in other families have arranged for a concubine early on, but my elder and second brothers are pure and clean! ]

[Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing my sister-in-law again. Count on my fingers, the Lantern Festival is coming soon! ]

[Big brother, you have to do your best! Marry the eldest sister-in-law as soon as possible! You have been fed dog food for more than ten years, and now it is your turn to show your affection to your parents! ]

Qiao Tianjing's ears were red, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or shyness.

That night, Qiao Jiaojiao was indeed arranged to sleep with Aunt Liu.

Before leaving the room, Qiao Jiaojiao looked between her father and mother with a mischievous look.

[Ahhh! My parents are finally going to be sweet and happy! ]

Qiao Zhongguo's whole body stiffened slightly, and Mrs. Qiao's face was so red with shame that she couldn't raise her head.

This was the first time in the couple’s lives that they hoped that Qiao Jiaojiao was really just a simple and ignorant little kid.

Qiao Jiaojiao was still excited.

[Oh my god, my stumbling block has finally been removed! Dad and Mom, I am willing to help you! Don't bring me back tonight! ]

[Wow, so shy, I love the way my parents stick to each other, please keep our fairy love going! ]

Aunt Liu was an experienced person. She looked very happy and tactfully carried Qiao Jiaojiao out quickly.

The couple just breathed a sigh of relief when the childish voice faintly rang out:

[Eh, will I have another brother or sister...]

The Qiao family couple: “….”
