Qiao Xin was at full strength in the court, debating with the scholars.
She elevated the incident of a vicious dog injuring people to the level of a matter of life and death for the country.
After this battle, the reputation of the Qiao family's old lady's toughness spread throughout the capital.
Only then did everyone see the true face of this mysterious second-rank lady!
Just a few months ago, the current emperor personally issued an edict to confer such an honor on her, which immediately caused an uproar in the court and the country.
However, most court officials knew nothing about this lady except that she existed.
This first meeting today was truly a profound experience.
The other person is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He just pokes you wherever it hurts.
As soon as the morning came, most people avoided Qiao Xin.
However, only Xu Can came up to Qiao Xin and called out to her shamelessly.
"Auntie, I will be your grandson in the future, you have to protect me!!"
When Xiaoyao Hou heard his boy's nonsense, he got so angry that he walked up to Xu Can and pulled his ear and started scolding him.
"You son of a bitch, you don't even know your own worth. Look at your cow dung-like appearance, you really think you are a hot commodity. How much trouble have you caused others during this period of time, don't you have any idea?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Dad, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentle. Can you blame me? Look, is there any father who dislikes his son so much? Aunt Qiao is not an outsider!" Xu Can jumped and ran away.
"Don't take it to heart, old marquis. Prince Xu is very innocent and it's rare to have such a childlike heart." Qiao Yunqing made up for Marquis Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao Hou said to Qiao Xin with some envy: "Old Madam, don't mind it. This kid is just out of tune. If he could be half as worry-free as Lady Qiao, I would die with my eyes closed.
Look at how he is prone to causing trouble. When will it stop? It's ok to just let him get involved in our own home, but we can't let him involve others no matter what.
This is the second time my son has been saved by the old lady. We in the Xu family will never forget your life-saving grace. If the old lady needs help in the future, just send someone to the Xu Mansion to let her know. "
"You are too polite, my Lord. It is just a simple favor. I saw that when the dogs heard the name of the prince, they reacted very violently, as if they were specifically targeting Prince Xu. I am afraid that these dogs usually use Prince Xu as a training target.
My Lord, you might as well check the dog farms in Yunxi Town. If you are a thief for a thousand days, you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. The most effective solution is to eradicate the disaster from the root.
The punishment given by His Majesty is not painful for them." Qiao Xin said meaningfully.
Xiaoyao Hou immediately reacted and said, "You mean that the other party is specially trained to attack Can'er. But my son has no grudges against most of the people present today. Why would they do this?"
"Once is a coincidence, twice is not a coincidence. Master Xu, maybe your existence is naturally blocking the way of certain people. These victims today may not be tools used by others to kill people."
Qiao Xin recalled that on the way from Yunxi Town to Beijing, whenever the stray dogs heard the name Xu Can, they would bark at them. The name Xu Can really became something that cats and dogs hate!
Training animals to kill is not an uncommon thing. Qiao Xin had seen it a lot in her previous life, but it is indeed unheard of for the people of Dajing.
If Xiaoyao Hou has not realized the seriousness of the problem, it may not be long before Xu Canli gets into trouble again.
As soon as they walked out of the palace, they saw the housekeeper Zhou from the Marquis' Mansion running hurriedly towards the Imperial Hospital.
When he saw his master, he almost cried, "My Lord, the prince was bitten by a dog!"
What evil spirit possessed his young master? Why was he never at peace all day long?
Xiaoyao Hou’s head suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound.
"Tell me again, what happened to the prince?" He grabbed the butler's clothes and lifted him into the air.
At this time, the housekeeper did not care whether there were outsiders present or whether the family scandal had been made public, and he hurriedly explained.
"The Crown Prince met the Second Prince outside the palace gate. The two exchanged a few words, and then they started arguing. The little Pekingese that the Second Prince was holding jumped up and bit the Crown Prince. Now they are waiting to ask the Imperial Physician to come over and take a look!"
Xiaoyao Hou turned his head and looked at Qiao Xin, still thinking about what she had just said to him. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that his stupid son was really being targeted by the dogs in the whole city.
If he doesn't fight back, he would be truly a coward.
Damn it, even a clay man can still have some temper; if a tiger doesn't show its power, people would think it's a sick cat!
These bastards are going too far!
He turned around and went to His Majesty to seek justice.
Qiao Yunqing stopped him and said, "My Lord, the health of the prince is the most important."
Emperor Wu might not be willing to see them at this time! It was still unclear whether they could enter the palace or not.
Xiaoyao Hou was silent for a moment, then turned around and ran towards his carriage.
Qiao Xin looked at the flustered Xiaoyao Hou and sighed, thinking that she was such a bad jinx and everything she said would come true.
But what troubles are there every day? Why do things never stop when she goes out?
I originally wanted to start the show as a rural pastoral struggle drama, but as time went on, it kept drifting towards suspense drama and palace fighting drama.
Just in the past six months, she has been to the palace three times, which is the number of times most people go there in their lifetime. The key point is, she was always assisted!
It seems that the feng shui of this capital city is really unlucky for her! After finishing her business, she should hurry back to Laohu Town!
