When Mrs. Xiao heard the soft cry, she immediately turned around and saw a beautiful woman walking towards them with a baby of seven or eight months old in her arms.

"Mrs. Joe?"

Mrs. Xiao also recognized him at a glance.

Mrs. Qiao was the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time, and she was also the daughter-in-law of General Qiao. She had long been yearning for him, but due to the family background of both parties, they had never had much contact.

"Mrs. Xiao, I heard you were calling Miss Xiao, but what happened? Is there anything I can help with?"

Madam Qiao looked sincere and had already stood in front of Madam Xiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately raised her eyes and looked at Madam Xiao.

She was taller than an ordinary woman, with a round face, slightly slender eyes, slightly curved eyebrows, and thin lips. She looked like a gentle beauty from the Jiangnan area.

Miss Xiao looks very much like Madam Xiao, except that her features are more delicate.

From this point of view, General Xiao must also be a rare handsome man.

When Mrs. Xiao heard Mrs. Qiao's question, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"Mrs. Qiao, to be honest, my second daughter is very naughty. She loves to play with knives and guns. She just turned over and ran away, making it difficult for us to find her."

Mrs. Qiao already knew Xiao Qianyue's personality from Qiao Jiaojiao, so she was not surprised.

No wonder she and the second brother are a perfect match made in heaven. It turns out that they both admire martial arts.

Xiao Qianlan, who was standing by, took the initiative to step forward and greeted him. After hesitating for a while, she asked in a gentle voice:

"Mrs. Qiao, I would like to ask you a question. Did your son come with you to the Huguo Temple today?"

Mrs. Qiao turned to look at Xiao Qianlan, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

This is the Queen's favorite daughter-in-law, the future Crown Princess.

Xiao Qianlan was very polite, and this question did not make people feel offended. Mrs. Qiao nodded and said, "My Erlang came with us."

Xiao Qianlan shook her head helplessly after hearing this, "So this is a match."

"My sister and I were just admiring the flowers when suddenly a figure flashed by in the distance. He looked so light and graceful that he looked like a fairy."

"My sister is a martial arts fanatic. When she saw such a master, she immediately chased after him without caring about anything else. He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Now that I think about it, that expert must be the second son of my wife's family."

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but frown when she heard that.

[Oh, it turns out that the relationship between the second brother and the second Miss Xiao can be revealed through comparison! ]

[I hope my silly second brother won’t just focus on the competition and really leave Miss Xiao behind...]

When Mrs. Qiao heard that Miss Xiao was lost because of her own Erlang, it was now her turn to feel embarrassed.

"My second son is naughty and has no manners. He bumped into the second young lady. He really deserves to be beaten!"

"Mrs. Xiao, don't worry, let's look for it together."

Mrs. Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.

When two playful children meet each other, it is really a headache.

The group of people were shouting in the forest. Nanny Liu went back and called a few young monks to help look for them, but an hour passed and they still didn't find anyone.

Seeing that the sun was setting, Mrs. Xiao was really anxious.

"Could there be some accident?"

Madam Xiao looked much weaker, with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Qianlan was much calmer. She looked around and made a decision in her mind.

"Mother, please don't worry. You and the nanny will stay here to continue looking for my sister. I will hurry home to call for help."

"My sister is very skilled in martial arts. She must have been playing around a little. Nothing will happen to her."

Xiao Qianlan grabbed Madam Xiao's hand, stood up calmly, and bowed to Madam Qiao again.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam. Please excuse me for leaving you for a while. My mother is a weak person, so I'd like to trouble you to comfort her."

When Mrs. Qiao saw Xiao Qianlan's magnanimous demeanor, she couldn't help but nod secretly.

Judging from the small, only a girl like this can become the Crown Prince's wife and the mother of a country in the future.

"Don't worry, Miss Xiao. I'll take care of Madam Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianlan showed gratitude on her face and immediately lifted her skirt and left quickly.

Qiao Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that the original novel did not describe the first meeting between Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue, but it did not seem to mention any danger, so she was able to remain calm.

[Maybe something delayed them? I don’t remember anything happening to my second brother and his wife.]

Just as Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts reached this point, suddenly a very clear voice came from a distance.

"Mother! Sister!"

Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head to look towards the source of the voice, only to see two figures, one tall and one short, appearing on the hillside shrouded by the last rays of sunset.

They were not very close, and each of them was holding the two ends of a wooden stick.

Xiao Qianyue was waving towards this side, but her right foot was bent, lifting up a part of her skirt, and she looked like she was injured.

"Yue'er!"

"younger sister!"

Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Qianlan were overjoyed upon seeing this and hurried over to greet them. Mrs. Qiao was also relieved and quickly followed.

When they passed by, Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue had already thrown away the sticks.

Madam Xiao touched Xiao Qianyue's arm, and couldn't bear to scold her anymore. She asked with red eyes:

"Girl, where are you hurt? You scared your mother to death!"

Xiao Qianyue looked ashamed, and it was obvious that she was not someone who was making trouble for no reason.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I played too much today and accidentally sprained my ankle. It was Qiao's Erlang who brought me back."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xiao Qianyue calmly. Seeing that the front of her dress was wrinkled, they knew that this "send" must have meant that she had carried it all the way back.

Mrs. Xiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. This...

Although Qiao Diyi knew that Xiao Qianyue was destined to be his wife, he could not bear to see her reputation tarnished and suffer injustice, so he quickly spoke:

"Miss Xiao Er is indeed the daughter of a general. I helped her along the way with a stick, but she walked back by herself."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Diyi helplessly.

Silly child, how could your poor acting skills be hidden from the eyes of Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao.

But Mrs. Qiao was actually very happy in her heart.

Qiao Diyi knew that Xiao Qianyue would be his wife, but even so, he was still polite and courteous to Xiao Qianyue, and even considered protecting the girl's reputation.

Mrs. Qiao was very pleased that her two sons were both honest and good men.

When Xiao Qianyue heard this, she suddenly turned around and looked at Qiao Diyi. Seeing his stern brows and serious expression, her heart couldn't help but beat slightly.

She was in high spirits, and had just been chasing Qiao Diyi through the woods, but she was too anxious and missed a branch. Although she landed safely, she still sprained her ankle.

Qiao Diyi was attracted by her cries of pain, but he was very polite and did not get too close to her, nor did he look at her with a frivolous look. He even kindly suggested taking her back.

Unfortunately, her ankle was swollen and painful, and she couldn't move a step. Qiao Diyi walked in front of her, squatted down and bent over...
