"master?"
The servants outside the door had just experienced the downfall of the Hua family and were still frightened, so they only dared to urge in a low voice.
Qiao Zhongguo woke up as if from a dream. He calmed down instantly and there was no abnormality on his face.
[Ahhh! I want to see it too! I want to see the heroine too! Woohoo, Dad, take me with you too! I’m so happy!]
Qiao Jiaojiao shouted anxiously despite her tiredness and hunger, secretly hating that no one could understand her baby talk.
Qiao Zhongguo was about to move forward, but when he heard this, he paused and said, "Bring the people to the main hall. We'll meet here."
[Woo woo woo! Daddy, I love you! You really understand me! ]
Qiao Jiaojiao burst into tears.
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he hurriedly took Qiao Jiaojiao in lovingly, thinking proudly in his heart: My daughter said she loves him!
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi had already met Meng Guxue last night.
But at that time they had no idea that the ten-year-old girl would actually bring about huge changes to their Qiao family.
The other party was only ten years old now, so there was no need to avoid suspicion. Now the two brothers didn't want to leave even more.
Soon, the Meng couple were welcomed in. When they saw the closed doors and windows, they were a little puzzled.
However, when their eyes fell on the baby in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, they instantly understood.
Mrs. Meng was secretly very envious.
It is widely rumored throughout the capital that Censor Qiao dotes on his wife dearly, and that...she is in very good health.
You see, she was able to give birth to another daughter in her middle age, and she would hold her in her arms when she met guests. It is obvious that she dotes on her like the apple of her eye.
Look at her two sons, both of them are outstanding people. When the wives in Beijing talk about Madam Qiao, who wouldn’t be envious to the point of biting their handkerchiefs?
Looking at her own old man again, he is obviously five years younger than Censor Qiao, but he has a big belly, his hair is thinning, and he has concubines one after another.
Mrs. Meng was so hateful!
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
Mr. Meng didn't have this awareness. He pulled his belly up and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Qiao, something unexpected happened last night, and I apologize for not hosting you well. My daughter is already better this morning, so I asked her to come and thank the second young master in person."
As he spoke, he slightly turned his body, revealing Meng Guxue behind him.
Qiao Zhongguo knew what his daughter was thinking, so he deliberately turned her face to the outside.
Qiao Jiaojiao took a closer look and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
You know, in the novel, the author described Meng Guxue's beauty as unparalleled in the world, and even won her the title of the most beautiful woman and the most talented woman in the capital.
Qiao Jiaojiao had too high expectations, but a ten-year-old girl is just a child yet.
I saw that she had curved eyebrows, a turned-up nose, a small mouth, and a somewhat pale face.
But those eyes were indeed beautiful, lively and smart, and they were looking around at the moment.
[Oh, it seems that falling into the water last night was the opportunity for the heroine to travel through time. Now this body has been replaced by the soul of a modern adult. The plot is finally here! ]
The Qiao family father and son were instantly shocked to the point of numbness.
Time travel?
So the real Miss Meng fell into the water and died last night, and the person standing in front of them now is another person?
This... isn't this just reincarnation?
Thinking of this, even the masculine Qiao Zhongguo felt a chill down his spine.
He has automatically ignored the fact that his daughter is also weird!
Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Qiao Zhongguo was still able to remain calm after so many years of experience in officialdom.
"Brother Meng, why do you say that? It was normal for us to be busy yesterday. There is no need to go to such great lengths to come again."
Mr. Meng is a shrewd man. The Qiao family is now highly valued. Although Qiao Zhongguo is only a third-rank censor, he can talk back at will in the court. Who dares to talk back?
Because everyone knows that anyone caught by Qiao Zhongguo either has something to hide or is caught red-handed.
But he was a lone minister who never attended banquets among his colleagues and always kept to himself.
Mr. Meng thought that if he could take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Qiao Zhongguo, wouldn't that give him an extra layer of protection in the court?
"Oh, Brother Qiao, your life-saving grace is greater than heaven. Xiaoxue, come over here and thank the Second Young Master!"
Meng Guxue walked out confidently, with bright eyes and a clear voice.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qiao, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you and will never forget it!"
Qiao Diyi took a closer look and found that Meng Guxue was clearly confused last night, acting timid and cowardly, crying all the time, and then she developed a high fever.
I didn't expect that after one night, he seemed like a completely different person!
Is it true, as my younger sister said, that there is now an adult woman from another world living in Meng Guxue's body?
Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi's shoulders trembled and the hairs on his body stood up!
At the same time, Meng Guxue was also looking at Qiao Diyi.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and she couldn't even hide the surprise on her face.
Wow, so handsome!
Is this enough to debut as the center?
She turned her gaze to Qiao Tianjing standing beside her, and was instantly even more shocked by his beauty.
Oh my god, this one is more handsome! She wants to choose the big one!
Qiao Jiaojiao was instantly furious when she saw Meng Guxue's eyes lingering on her eldest brother.
[Damn it! The heroine is not allowed to covet my elder brother! My elder sister-in-law is the daughter of the Minister of Industry, she is a first-class good woman! ]
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing were slightly stunned.
Minister of Works?
Isn’t that Han Mingzhe, who is known as “harder than the stone in the toilet”?
His daughter?
[Dad, today Old Man Meng came to our house to show his hospitality. He actually wants Meng Guxue to marry one of my two brothers! You must not say "I'll consider it"! Just refuse!]
[Meng Guxue fell in love with Big Brother. She felt that our Qiao family looked down on her after being rejected, so she has always been resentful. Later, she deliberately wanted to bring down Big Brother and prove herself! ]
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo's expression became slightly serious.
In terms of dealing with people and observing people's words and expressions, he is still far behind his wife. If his wife were present at this moment, she would definitely see through the Meng family's intentions at a glance!
As expected, during the pleasantries, Mr. Meng revealed this intention, but the person he had in mind was Qiao Diyi.
After all, Qiao Diyi is closer in age to Meng Guxue, and it was he who personally saved Meng Guxue last night.
Meng Guxue can no longer control her own destiny, but that doesn't stop her from being clever!
She suddenly turned to Qiao Tianjing, showing what she thought was the sweetest smile, and said with a pure and happy face:
"Brother Qiao, you are so handsome! Xue'er really likes a big brother like you!"
Meng Guxue thought to herself that she was a time-traveling girl, the most special woman in this world, and no one could escape her aura of being the protagonist!
However, Qiao Tianjing already knew that there was an adult woman inside this body. If it weren't for her excellent self-cultivation, he would have wanted to just turn his face away and leave.
Just at this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao's voice rang out, perfectly reflecting Qiao Tianjing's inner thoughts.
[Ugh - doesn't she think that she is the girl of destiny and everyone will fall under her charm? ]
