"Get up and talk."

Mrs. Qiao raised her hand.

The maid took out a letter from her sleeve and raised her hands above her head.

"My maid doesn't dare. Madam, please take a look at this thing first."

Qiao Jingchen took the letter and opened it, and she was immediately shocked.

Mrs. Qiao saw clearly from the side that it was a pile of letters between Qiao Jingchen and others.

The signature at the beginning is "Bai Lu", which is clearly a secret work of an enemy country that was discovered before!

"This...what's the matter?"

Although Mrs. Qiao did not read the contents carefully, she realized that the matter was of great importance and immediately asked the maid.

The maidservant knelt on the ground and said in fear: "These...these were given to the maidservant by my cousin. She promised gold, silver and jewels, and also said that in the future, if she established a foothold in the Liu Mansion, she would take the maidservant there...and take her as a concubine. Let’s enjoy the glory together.”

"As long as the maid hides these letters in the master's study. But the maid was only ordered to deliver clothes to him, but she turned against him and was humiliated and beaten for no reason. I really can't imagine what methods she would use if she really did this. Deal with the maidservant."

"All the masters in the house treat their servants very well, and this servant girl cannot do such a betrayal, so... I am guilty of this, please forgive me, old lady!"

Hearing these words, Qiao Jingchen broke into a cold sweat.

If this maid really did as she was told, Liu Zhan would definitely see the opportunity to frame his father for collaborating with the enemy and treason!

Once these letters are dug out from the study, it will be a death sentence for the Qiao family!

Qiao Wanshu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, this love brain, really put the Qiao family into trouble without even realizing it." 】

Mrs. Qiao was very calm and calm, and said to the maid: "You are a smart person and loyal to our Qiao family. What crime do you have?"

"Get up. From now on, the monthly salary will be doubled. The girl from the courtyard will be promoted to the second-class girl in the outer room."

The slave was overjoyed, kowtowed to Mrs. Qiao repeatedly, and left with great gratitude.

"Grandma, I..."

Qiao Jingchen was filled with regret and was about to explain to Mrs. Qiao, but she got a big roll of her eyes.

"I can see that among these grandchildren, my precious Shu'er is the most considerate and worry-free. Each of you has grown up and has many ideas, and I can't control them anymore."

"If that maid hadn't been smart enough not to board Fang Yan'er's pirate ship today, do you know what kind of disaster awaited the Qiao family?"

Qiao Jingchen was speechless.

Standing in front of the old lady with her head lowered, she looked like a frustrated big dog.

"Grandma, it's all your grandson's fault. Don't be angry. Your grandson will never dare to do it again."

Although Qiao Jingchen is a majestic general outside, but in front of Mrs. Qiao, she can't show any majesty at all.

"Grandma, don't be angry with your grandson. Your health is important! As long as you can calm down, your grandson is willing to do whatever you want."

Mrs. Qiao also felt that he still needed to be beaten.

Then he nodded and said: "You also go to the ancestral hall to spend a day in confinement and think carefully about what you should do and what you shouldn't do in the future in front of the ancestral tablets. Go ahead."

After she finished speaking, she took Qiao Wanshu into her arms, turned around and left.

Qiao Wanshu lay on the old lady's shoulder and waved her hand to Qiao Jingchen: "Brother, please reflect on yourself. When did you get rid of your love brain? The trouble caused by you to the Qiao family will be eliminated." 】

Qiao Jingchen watched her grandfather and grandson go away, then hung her head and weakly went to the ancestral hall.

He walked to the door of the ancestral hall and saw Qiao Jinghan kneeling behind the table, facing the tablet of the ancestors of the Qiao family, copying scriptures and mumbling incessantly.

"...But why is it me? Could it be that I have a special talent, so...God gave me this power just so that I can save the Qiao family from disaster?"

"No, no... she definitely wants me to work with Shu'er to make great achievements and bring glory to my Qiao family!"

Qiao Jingchen didn't hear what he said before, so she just thought he was going crazy.

He coughed lightly and walked through the door.

Qiao Jinghan turned around and asked in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"

"It's past dinner time. Are you here to bring me something delicious?"

He looked around Qiao Jingchen, and when he saw that his hands were empty, his eyes were filled with question marks.

"I...I was afraid that you would be bored, so I came to keep you company."

Qiao Jingchen couldn't say that she was also punished to be in solitary confinement for self-reflection, so she just used Qiao Jinghan as a hook and made an excuse.

"Oh... I understand. Did you make some mistake and was punished by your grandmother to come to the ancestral hall and be put in solitary confinement?"

Qiao Jinghan reacted very quickly and immediately exposed her eldest brother's lies.

"What are you thinking about? I'll copy your scriptures!"

Qiao Jingchen slapped him on the back of the head, walked to another futon, and knelt down in front of the ancestor's statue.

When Qiao Jinghan saw that it was exactly what he thought, he couldn't sit still.

He put down his pen, walked up to Qiao Jingchen and said with a wink, "Brother, let me tell you, I just discovered that I am deeply favored by God."

"Do you believe that I have a mission from heaven and am destined to achieve great things?"

Qiao Jingchen looked at this younger brother speechlessly. He suddenly felt that being a romantic and talented man and having unrivaled intelligence should be the biggest misconception that the world had about Qiao Jinghan.

Why does he think this is a complete idiot?

Everyone in Qiao's mansion is living a stable life step by step.

And since Fang Yan'er was carried into the Liu Mansion from the side door on a small sedan chair, she was considered a member of the Liu family.

But from the day she walked in, she never saw Liu Zhan's face again.

I originally thought that he was just busy with official duties, so he didn't have time to see her.

But it had been like this for several days. Even if she made excuses to go looking for her, she would be stopped and sent back to the small courtyard.

Fang Yan'er finally noticed something was wrong.

"Could it be that... he just wants to burn down the bridge and just leave me in the side courtyard and ignore me?"

She gritted her teeth tightly, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her heart.

Obviously in the dream, she and Liu Zhan were singing in harmony and loving each other. They were a couple praised by everyone.

But now, how could things deviate from her dream again and again and develop into something outrageous?

"No, I can't just sit back and wait for death!"

Fang Yan'er rolled her eyes and quickly took up the idea again.

After she sneaked away several times with excuses, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion sent more people to keep a close eye on the courtyard.

She wanted to see Liu Zhan, and the first step was to make those who were monitoring her relax their vigilance.

In the next few days, her daily schedule was fixed, and she didn't even come close to the door of the courtyard.

Sure enough, it gradually became apparent that there were fewer people monitoring the side hospital.

One night, Fang Yan'er had dinner and went to bed early on the pretext of having a headache.

After the yard calmed down, she sneaked to the wall and climbed out on the stepping stones.

She had been to Liu Mansion's study once before and still remembered the way.

I touched it carefully all the way.

There were figures moving around in the study, and Liu Zhan was not the only one in there.

Fang Yan'er huddled under the window, and just when she put her ear to it, she heard a voice with a strange accent coming from inside.
