Meng Guxue and Jiaojiao sat together for a while and then left.

She has decided to stay and be the king's wife, so she has a lot to learn.

Shen Ningyun was about to escape death, and these days she always pulled Meng Guxue aside to give her earnest instructions. If she taught too much, she was afraid that the complicated etiquette and rules would restrain Meng Guxue's temperament. If she taught too little, she was worried that Meng Guxue would not be able to cope with it in the future.

Meng Guxue was a person who understood good intentions. She was neither impatient nor anxious. She put in the same enthusiasm she had when she studied back then and patiently followed Shen Ningyun to learn.

Jiaojiao was sitting in the living room at this time, sharing her conversation with Shen Yuanbai with her father and brother.

Of course, she concealed that part of the truth about the world.

After saying this, Jiaojiao first glanced at Qiao Tianjing who was standing beside her, but at this moment there was no trace of abnormality on Qiao Tianjing's face.

After hearing Shen Yuanbai's plan, Qiao Zhongguo stood up and paced a few steps, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"Boss, Jiaojiao, Daddy is going to write a letter first!"

Qiao Zhongguo said this and turned and walked out of the hall.

The hall fell silent. Jiaojiao hesitated for a while and suddenly said, "Brother, as long as you ask me, I will answer anything."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing turned his head to look at Jiaojiao. Seeing Jiaojiao's uneasy expression, his face was full of emotion, but more of it was tenderness and relief.

He walked forward in two or three steps, picked up Jiaojiao, and then said in a gentle voice:

"Little sister, if big brother is not real, then who is holding you right now?"

Jiaojiao opened her mouth slightly when she heard this.

If she had only had some guesses in her mind just now, then Qiao Tianjing's words at this moment had confirmed everything.

She should have noticed it long ago. Her elder brother lived with her day and night and was the most intelligent and insightful person. He must have noticed the clues long ago.

Just now in the pavilion, she attracted the thunder, and Shen Yuanbai smiled so desolately. Big brother would definitely not miss such a scene.

Seeing Jiaojiao’s shocked expression, Qiao Tianjing immediately raised his hand and rubbed her little head.

In fact, he had a doubt in his mind a long time ago.

From his little sister’s inner voice, he heard strange terms like “male protagonist”, “female protagonist”, and “plot”.

Then, as his little sister spoke about the future in his mind again and again, he had an extremely absurd guess -

It seemed that the fate of all of them had been determined early on, and it was as if my younger sister had read through their entire lives and then got involved, helping them change their fate.

Sometimes, when he sat quietly in the study, he couldn't help but wonder how their lives were presented to his little sister? Was it a painting? A book? Or a play?

So what are they? Ink lines? Words? Or puppets?

He didn't dare to think deeply, and was even afraid of the truth, but as time went by and the fate of the Qiao family changed, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

If the Qiao family was destined to be wiped out from the beginning, then every tiny effort he made was pushing the whole family in a better direction.

They have already broken away from that predetermined future. What could be more real than a new destiny achieved through struggle?

Just now, thunder roared down in the pavilion. At that moment, he had a glimpse of enlightenment in his heart. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of the power that framed their lives.

He was not afraid. He ran towards his younger sister without hesitation. Even when facing that strange power, he would not retreat even a single step.

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing's gentle face was full of magnanimity and clarity, and he said with a smile:

"Little sister, right now, I am holding you, the one I love the most, in my arms. We are working together to come up with plans and protect our family together. If this is not real, then what else in the world is real?"

When Jiaojiao heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Only then did she realize belatedly that the first awakened free soul had actually always been by her side, and that was her gentle, yet calm and introverted elder brother!

"Brother, it's true, it's all true!"

Jiaojiao was so excited that her eyes turned red. She looked at Qiao Tianjing and nodded repeatedly.

This is the invaluable family she has earned through two lifetimes!

"Well, Big Brother knows everything, Big Brother knows everything..."

Qiao Tianjing gently stroked Jiaojiao's back. He felt extremely fond of Jiaojiao, yet also full of guilt.

My younger sister has always been the one who has suffered the most, keeping such a big secret and worrying about her family.

What Jiaojiao was thinking was that her elder brother had been confused secretly for a long time, and he might have been deeply lost too, but just because she never said it out loud, her elder brother never asked a single question.

He concealed all his doubts and fears, and put all his efforts into planning and calculation, but he never forgot his original intention and bottom line.

Big Brother is truly the most worthy gentleman she has ever met.

The brother and sister understood and admired each other. At this time, Qiao Zhongguo, who had stayed outside the reception room for a while, finally left quietly.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, showing his satisfaction with the two children in the hall, but also with a rebellious and ruffian spirit.

Qiao Zhongguo had fought his way through the battlefield, and his loyalty was genuine, as was his ability!

"Heaven's Way" can decide his life or death, but it cannot break his pride or take away his abilities!

Not to mention that now, with the help of Jiaojiao, the Qiao family has already embarked on a completely new path!

What is "Heaven's Way"?

Bullshit!

Qiao Zhongguo snorted coldly and walked towards the study with a heroic and confident look.

Jiaojiao had no idea that the only person who discovered the truth at home was not only her elder brother, but also her father who was eavesdropping outside the door...

The next few days were calm and peaceful. The letters from here had not yet been sent back home, but the letters from Yong Chaojing had already arrived.

Jiaojiao shook the package. Wow, it was full!

Who brought so many letters?

I opened it and saw two letters from my mother, two from my sister-in-law, eight from my second brother? Forty from my younger brother?

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

Do these two little bastards have so much to say?

Jiaojiao picked up a letter at random. It was from Qiao Diyi, and on the envelope was written "Dear little sister".

Jiaojiao opened the letter with anticipation, and Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing also came over.

When the letter was unfolded, what came into view was a crying face written in extremely sloppy handwriting, with a sentence squeezed in the corner:

"Ah, little sister, if you don't come back, I, your second brother, will be annoyed to death by that kid Xiao Si! He cries in front of me all day long, and I even shed tears twice."

He added: "This letter cannot be seen by Xiao Si..."

The image of her second brother and the fourth child standing in a row wiping their tears suddenly flashed through Jiaojiao's mind, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hey, there's another scroll here!"

Jiaojiao opened the picture excitedly. It showed a little boy with a round head and a cute expression of sticking out his tongue!

"Ah! Daddy, big brother, it's Xiao Mingpei!"

When they saw Qiao Mingpei's portrait, the three people present all had gentle expressions on their faces at the same time.

Ah, this moment really makes me want to go home...
