After returning to the tent, Qiao Zhongguo was in a state of emotional turmoil and could not calm down for a long time.

He thought a lot, and seemed to have thought of something, so he went to find Meng Guxue again.

After getting the answer, he returned to the tent and picked up his pen to write down everything that happened last night and what Meng Guxue said.

In the afternoon, Deputy General Zuo delivered a detailed list of casualties.

"Master Qiao, there are many corpses hidden in the Liu family's village! It can be seen that those northern thieves have played a trick of replacing the original with the new. This is premeditated and they are very vicious!"

Qiao Zhongguo had expected this, and after receiving the list, he finally wrote a letter to Emperor Yong.

In addition to a detailed account of last night's battle, the letter also detailed the Second Prince's injuries. Finally, in addition to a list of casualties, there was also a letter of resignation.

In the evening, Qiao Liu, Qiao Shiyi and five other secret guards disguised themselves and rode at full speed to the capital!

————

Five days later, it was April 17th.

At this time, there was less than a month left until the prince's wedding.

Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on the couch, trying hard to make Mrs. Qiao happy.

Mrs. Qiao has been worried about Nanli's trip, but she doesn't want to add unnecessary trouble to her two children, so she keeps it to herself.

Qiao Jiaojiao woke up from a dream in the middle of the night two days ago, and found that her mother was not around.

She looked up and saw that her mother was looking at the wood carvings her father had made in the candlelight.

She vaguely saw tears on her mother's cheeks and felt heartbroken.

"Mom, Jiaojiao is greedy and wants to eat lotus cake!"

Qiao Jiaojiao pointed at her little mouth, looking pitiful.

Mrs. Qiao was lost in thought. When she heard this, she turned around with a gentle smile on her face.

"Okay, Jiaojiao, whatever you want to eat, mom will have someone make it for you."

Mrs. Qiao was about to call Aunt Liu, but at this moment, Aunt Liu herself walked in happily from outside the room, whispering:

"Madam! There's a letter from the Lord!"

Mrs. Qiao stood up with a whoosh, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"

Madam Liu nodded repeatedly, "Madam, it's true! The eldest young master received the letter and is coming here with the young mistress!"

【Very good!】

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately and nimbly slipped down from the couch and went out to greet him.

[It must be good news! There is no doubt about it! ]

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao walked out of the main courtyard, she saw her elder brother and his wife walking towards her with smiles on their faces!

[Look at the expression on Big Brother's face. Daddy and Big Brother must be safe! ]

At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao's worries and anxieties finally came to an end.

Qiao Tianjing walked up, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, and the family went into the house and sat together.

Qiao Tianjing took out the letter and saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly, so he quickly read it in a gentle voice.

This was another letter written by Qiao Zhongguo. It did not reveal any secrets, nor did it mention the danger and thrill of that night. It just reported that he was safe and talked about the scenery and interesting things along the way.

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, although she knew that Qiao Zhongguo always reported good news but not bad news, the heavy stone in her heart was finally lifted.

Qiao Tianjing smiled and comforted Mrs. Qiao with a few words, but his eyes glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao beside him calmly.

When Qiao Jiaojiao received the look, her heart was moved.

[Oh, it seems that Dad has sent some other news back! Got it! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows at Qiao Tianjing.

Snap——

At this moment, Han Yaxian suddenly stood up for some reason, and even knocked over the teacup at hand because of her haste.

"Xian'er!"

Qiao Tianjing and Mrs. Qiao were startled and hurriedly got up to see her.

Qiao Jiaojiao also hurriedly ran out with her short legs to check.

[I was so scared! Is sister-in-law okay? ]

"Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Tianjing saw Han Yaxian’s pale face and asked hurriedly.

Han Yaxian glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao in horror, then quickly looked away, only holding Qiao Tianjing tightly with her hand under her sleeve.

"No...I'm fine."

Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Tianjing with some reproach.

"Da Lang, you didn't take good care of Xian'er."

"Mother knows that business matters are so busy and chaotic, Xian'er must be exhausted."

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded in agreement.

[It seems that big brother needs to find reliable talents. The business is getting bigger and bigger now. If big sister-in-law takes care of everything, she will definitely suffer. ]

Han Yaxuan's whole body stiffened again at this moment, and she denied it hastily after a long while.

"No, mother, it's nothing to do with business. It's just... I was just lost in thought."

Mrs. Qiao held Han Yaxian's hand with some distress, "Just protect Dalang, let him help you go back and rest. Now that we know Nanli and his group are safe, we can rest assured."

Han Yaxian did not refuse and nodded immediately.

She really had something she couldn't wait to say to Qiao Lang!

Before leaving, Qiao Tianjing glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao again, and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately blinked smartly.

[Looks like I have to go to the study and wait for my brother early! ]

Qiao Tianjing supported Han Yaxian and walked back. As soon as the couple entered the house and saw that there was no one around, Han Yaxian hurriedly whispered:

"Qiao Lang! I... I seemed to hear my little sister's voice just now! No, my little sister didn't open her mouth at that time! I... I mean, I seemed to hear my little sister's inner voice!"

Han Yaxuan finished speaking in one breath, and Qiao Tianjing was shocked.

"Xian'er, are you serious?"

Han Yaxian nodded affirmatively and said excitedly:

"Really? Did you wink at me just now? I was thinking, 'Got it, got it!'"

Qiao Tianjing opened his mouth slightly.

Xian'er really heard it!

But what on earth was going on? How did Xianer suddenly become able to hear?

Han Yaxian walked all the way back, and her mood had almost calmed down. After the shock, she felt extremely excited.

"Qiao Lang, that's great. Now I can hear it too! Does this mean that my younger sister accepts me as her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart?"

Qiao Tianjing shook his head when he heard this.

"Xian'er, I don't understand either, but you are wrong about one thing. I have decided that you are my sister-in-law from the beginning. I think highly of you."

"Really?"

Han Yaxian looked delighted, and then said with anticipation:

"I want to hear it again when I go to my mother's for dinner tonight!"

"Don't worry, Qiao Lang. I was just too surprised and a little scared. From now on, I promise that no matter what I hear, I will remain calm!"

Qiao Tianjing curled his lips in amusement when he heard this.

Although I don’t know the reason, my little sister, as a “little cotton-padded jacket”, is indeed leaking air everywhere.

"Qiao Lang, didn't you ask my little sister to go to the study to discuss something? Go quickly, don't delay!"

Han Yaxian remembered this and hurriedly urged him.

Qiao Tianjing nodded gently, "Xian'er, then you should have a good rest. I will be back when I am done."

After Qiao Tianjing left, Han Yaxian immediately turned around and took out a small notebook from the bedside.

She turned to the latest page and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was two days late!

It was always very accurate before...

At this moment, Han Yaxian stood there in a daze, her face suddenly turned red and her whole body felt hot.

Actually...actually it is like this...

On the other side, when Qiao Tianjing came to the study, the clever little girl Qiao Jiaojiao was already waiting there.
