"You said that my brother-in-law stayed here last night?"

Mrs. Zuo asked uncertainly.

She was really too shocked.

The woman had not yet completely discharged her lochia after giving birth. Most men would be disgusted by the dirtiness and want to stay away from her. But her brother-in-law was willing to stay here?

Mrs. Zuo suddenly remembered the look of disgust in her husband's eyes after she gave birth, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

She just couldn't understand why Zuo Hejing was so lucky!

Mrs. Qiao noticed the undisguised jealousy on Mrs. Zuo's face, and felt sad and happy at the same time.

The sad thing is that he really didn't know people well and almost harmed the entire Qiao family.

The joy is that from now on, I no longer have to deal with such a vicious person, and I no longer have to carefully hide my husband's preference for me in order to protect my sister-in-law's self-esteem.

"Yes, he reorganized the mansion yesterday and said that he would never take a concubine, let alone any concubines, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about me."

As Mrs. Qiao finished saying this, there was a cracking sound from Mrs. Zuo's hand. She was so jealous that she broke the armor apart.

Qiao Jiaojiao took a look and said, [Oh my, I can’t hold it back anymore, my true colors are revealed! ]

Mrs. Qiao smiled when she heard this, and she was so well-mannered that it seemed as if she didn't see it at all.

If she hadn't been blinded by family affection, someone like Madam Zuo would not be enough in front of her!

Mrs. Zuo realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly put away her expression, saying awkwardly:

"Then you have to control yourself, sister. Men have no sense of propriety. Don't hurt yourself."

Mrs. Qiao covered her mouth and laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, sister-in-law? The reason why my husband stayed here is just to take care of me when I get up at night. I can't drive him away."

Mrs. Zuo's hands trembled violently, as if she had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

Taking care of nighttime wake-ups?

How could there be a man in the world who would do such a thing?

Mrs. Qiao never said these words in front of Mrs. Zuo before, but now she said them without any scruples, like sharp needles, piercing Mrs. Zuo fiercely.

Mrs. Zuo tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and suddenly felt extremely resentful.

Zuo Hejing clearly knows how bad her brother is and how miserable I am, but today she keeps showing off her love for her husband and wife. What is this? Do you want to see me make fun of you?

Mrs. Qiao still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Are you hurt by just a few words? When you killed my entire Qiao family, did you ever think about how much pain we were in?

Qiao Jiaojiao enthusiastically cheered for her mother's fighting ability.

【Ahhh! Mom, you are showing off just right. Look at Madam Zuo, her face is distorted haha! It feels so good to abuse the scum and slap him in the face! 】

[Alas, it would be great if we could find a way to get this aunt out of the Duke of Yan's mansion.]

[I remember that before my aunt married my uncle, she had a childhood sweetheart who worked under Prince Jing. It was that childhood sweetheart who helped to arrange the evidence of treason. What was his name?]

[Hiss, I really can’t remember! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head in distress.

A gleam of light flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, and she shook Qiao Jiaojiao gently, not wanting her to bother thinking about it any further.

As long as you are willing to investigate these things, you will definitely find them.

If my sister-in-law is really unfaithful to my brother, then she is doomed to not be able to stay in the Duke's Mansion!

Seeing that Mrs. Zuo was still reluctant to mention the marriage, Mrs. Qiao took the initiative to ask, "Why didn't you bring Ning'er here today?"

Mrs. Zuo's mind suddenly became clear, and she remembered that she still had important things to do.

"That kid has been studying hard lately. He said he's preparing for a poetry festival in half a year."

Mrs. Qiao nodded in understanding. Poetry readings have always been the highlight of the Beijing circle, and it was at a poetry reading that she and her husband fell in love.

At this time, Mrs. Zuo really brought up the old matter again.

"Sister, have you talked to your brother-in-law about the matter I mentioned before? In my opinion, it would be the best thing for our two families to become even closer!"

Mrs. Qiao shook her head in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work."

Madam Zuo's face darkened when she heard this. "Why, sister, do you think our Ning'er is not worthy of the Heavenly Scripture?"

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart suddenly jumped.

[Here she comes! Mom, beat her to death! Let’s see if she can be so shameless as to come again in the future! ]

If this had happened in the past, if Mrs. Zuo had a cold face, Mrs. Qiao would definitely have smiled and comforted her.

But at this moment, Mrs. Qiao sat on the couch as steady as a mountain.

She said calmly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, it's really the boss who has too big an idea."

Madam Zuo laughed sarcastically when she heard this. "Since ancient times, it has been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. No matter how opinionated the child is, isn't it you who have the final say on the marriage?"

Mrs. Qiao looked calm, "I can't do anything that forces my children."

Madam Zuo instantly laughed out of anger, "Sister, what you mean is that Ning'er is worthy of the Heavenly Scripture, or is it just a forced Heavenly Scripture?"

Mrs. Qiao said indifferently, "You said that, sister-in-law. I don't mean that."

Madam Zuo stood up at once, her face livid, and she spoke sarcastically:

"Sister, you are so arrogant now. People in the capital say that the Qiao family is thriving and the emperor is favoring you. I'm afraid you are planning to marry a princess to me!"

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, her expression suddenly darkened and her phoenix eyes stared at Mrs. Zuo.

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking about such groundless things. My Qiao family is a family of integrity and loyalty to the emperor and the country. We dare not have such unreasonable thoughts."

"As for Ning'er's marriage, if my sister-in-law is anxious, I will ask my husband to help keep an eye out for those good men. The young lady of the Duke of Yan's Mansion will naturally not be wronged."

This was the first time that Mrs. Qiao displayed her majesty as the mistress of the house in front of Mrs. Zuo. Her intimidating aura really intimidated Mrs. Zuo.

“You…you…”

Madam Zuo kept scolding her for a long time, and finally said angrily, "It's up to me, as a mother, to worry about Ning'er's marriage. I dare not trouble you, Madam Qiao!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and leaned softly on the pillow, saying with a cold face: "This matter is handled by my sister-in-law, so it should be perfect."

Madam Zuo's face was filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Just pretend I haven't been here today. The Qiao family is too high for me to reach now!"

She just didn't believe that Zuo Hejing would dare to really break up with her.

However, Mrs. Qiao just patted Qiao Jiaojiao gently and said considerately, "My sister is not able to see you off. Please take care."

Mrs. Zuo's face suddenly twisted when she heard this. She looked at Mrs. Qiao deeply, then walked away angrily.

Qiao Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[It’s good that she left! It’s good that she left! This time, I think she has really offended me. I have to prevent her from doing something desperate. However, Prince Jing has not risen yet, so she has no capital to do so even if she wants to! ]

[Ah, mother is mighty, mother, be strong! This level of house fighting is not worthy of my mother's attention! ]

Mrs. Qiao caressed Qiao Jiaojiao's forehead lovingly. Today, she finally saw her sister-in-law clearly.

Fortunately, there is Jiaojiao.

Fortunately, everything is done in time.
