Qiao Yunqing lifted his robe and knelt in front of Qiao Xin, remaining silent. This was the first time Qiao Xin had seen him so stubborn since they met. Qiao Xin was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
If it was a naughty child of three or two years old, she could still pick him up and give him a beating, but the man kneeling in front of her now was a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. It seemed that he was holding her back and she didn't dare to do anything to him, right?
She pointed at him with gnashing teeth and blurted out angrily: "You have already become indifferent to life and death, and you haven't done anything wrong. Why are you acting like this in front of me?"
"My son is unfilial and has made me worry! This is my fault. I shouldn't have been so reckless!"
"You also know that you are unfilial. Your wife and daughter-in-law make me worry about them, and your sons and daughters need me to discipline them. At my age, I still have to understand how difficult it is for you brothers, but you guys have completely let yourselves go and act like a big shot outside?
I thought sending your wife to you would make you feel a little more cautious, but you just went ahead and jumped in? You are the only one in the world who is full of pride, the only one who is an honest official, are the others all fools? You are the governor of Yuncheng, and you went to Yizhou to seek justice. Do you want to die?"
Qiao Yunqing pursed her lips and said nothing, standing there stubbornly, neither refuting nor defending herself.
Judging from his appearance, he is determined to go down this road until the end!
Qiao Xin was so angry that she kicked the tables and chairs in the hall and smashed them to pieces. The huge noise attracted the subordinates waiting outside to look in!
Master Wu wiped the sweat from his head, feeling terrified. The old lady should be angry. The master was really too rash!
With such little strength, he dared to go directly to the mine to rescue people.
Didn't we agree that we would just go and take a look first and then act when the time is right? If they were a step later, wouldn't the adults be dead here?
If anything happens to the master, then this cozy home that he has found with great difficulty will be lost. He doesn't want to change his master again!
This time, no matter what, I have to stand on the side of the old lady. You are still too young!
Zeng's life was even worse than his before Master Zeng came to his side. At this moment, the two of them reached a tacit agreement. Anyone who wanted to step forward to make peace was stopped by him.
"Go do what you need to do. The old lady is accompanying our master to talk about something and didn't invite us. Why are we joining in the fun?"
"But..." The adults are obviously being scolded, but if we really do nothing about it, wouldn't that be too heartless? Will the adults hold us accountable then?
"Once the old lady and the master have talked it out, everything will be calm. There is no reason for the mother and son to hold grudges overnight. Mind your own business. It will embarrass the master if outsiders are present."
When the man saw Master Wu looking at him warningly, he shut his mouth in disappointment!
......
After Qiao Xin got angry, she felt better. Looking at her adopted son who was still kneeling on the ground, she stroked his forehead, went forward to help him up, and told the people waiting outside to fetch some water so that she could clean his wounds herself.
In fact, she didn't want to control Qiao Yunqing too much. He was apparently the smartest child in the family, so how could he become so careless and reckless?
Thinking about what I just saw, I still feel a lingering fear. Are all smart people so conceited?
After being together for such a long time, it would be a lie to say that there was no affection at all. She had gradually accepted that she still had a few relatives in this world, but what about now? If she was a step late, she would really have no choice but to collect his body.
"I have no intention of interfering in your affairs, but when you are doing these dangerous things, can you consider the old and young in your family? If something happens to you, will your wife and underage children still be able to survive? You can't rely on an old woman like me, right? Second brother, I am not your biological mother, you don't have to worry about my life or death, but Sanniang and Sanlang are always your closest relatives, right?"
Since you took office, things have been going so smoothly for you. You are riding high in the spring breeze and riding fast. You can't see any crisis on this road full of flowers?
Let's take this as a lesson. If you make a wrong step in officialdom, the whole family will be implicated. Some things need to be done slowly. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Qiao Yunqing was so ashamed that he could not help but said excitedly, "Mother, please don't be angry. Your kindness in raising me is greater than heaven, and I will never forget it. But in this case, I was too upset. When I saw the corpse pit near the mine, I couldn't suppress it. I was so impulsive that I almost lost my life. This lesson is enough!"
In their two lives, Qiao Xin was the purest person to him. She never made any demands on him and respected every decision he made. She never asked him to return anything for all her efforts. As long as she was alive and well, Qiao Xin seemed satisfied. Her seemingly harsh words on weekdays were all about worrying about whether they were living well, not how high her official promotion was!
Even if he took the path of the imperial examination, it was the result of his own persistence. As long as he did not harm the world, it seemed that she and her eldest brother and third brother were good sons in Qiao Xin's eyes. Don't force, don't suppress, what she said most on weekdays was to let nature take its course.
Accustomed to the absolute control of father-son and mother-son relationships among colleagues and aristocratic families, Qiao Yunqing knew from the beginning how rare and precious a mother like Qiao Xin was!
In the short twenty-eight years of his previous life, he had experienced deception and betrayal. The culprits for all this were his biological family and that group of so-called relatives.
From the moment they recognized their relatives, they were calculating their
All of this was because the so-called family in Kyoto took advantage of him. There was no emotion at all. Even if he was promoted to the position of Yuwailang in the end, it was just because he was pushed up to take the blame for someone else.
In this life, the reason why he kept requesting for transfer was because he was afraid that if he met them before he was fully grown, he would not be able to control himself and would lose everything.
But it was not enough for that group of troublemakers to stir up trouble in the capital, they actually took the initiative to show up in front of him!
She had endured all of this silently before, but now she can no longer hide it from her adoptive mother!
The mine supervisor's surname is Chen, and the person supporting him is Zuo Xiang. "
Qiao Yunqing planned to tell Qiao Xin everything, "He is the cousin of Zuo Xiang and the nephew of my nominal grandmother. After my mother lost me, she was in a trance for a long time, so my grandmother brought the son born out of adultery between Zuo Xiang and that woman back home and let my biological mother raise him as her own son. After all, they have the same father, so it is inevitable that they look alike.
When Qiao Yunqing said this, his face was full of bitterness.
"My biological mother actually developed feelings for the child as she raised him. Even after she came to her senses, she still treated the child as her own. Everyone in the house said there was no chance I would survive, so she really stopped looking for him! From then on, she devoted herself to planning for him!
Mother, do you think I am just a superfluous joke?
When Qiao Yunqing said this, his voice choked up, his heart was beating wildly, but his eyes were full of mockery.
