He suppressed the expression on his face and walked in before the maid entered.

The three people who were originally chatting and laughing suddenly looked gloomy when they saw him.

"Dad, cousin, and cousin Yaoyao."

Qiao Bing greeted with a faint smile.

Qiao Dongliang glanced at Bai Yaoyao's face and angrily shouted with a stern face: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

"Dad, I came to you to talk about moving to another place."

Qiao Bing had long been accustomed to his attitude over the years, with a smile on his face. "Mrs. Chun is pregnant, and my son's marriage with my cousin is no longer valid. My son wants to make Mrs. Chun his wife and leave the mansion to start his own family."

Qiao Dongliang's messy eyebrows immediately stood up when he heard this. He slapped the table hard, "I'm not even dead yet, and you're in such a hurry to split up the family business?!"

Qiao Bing still smiled and said, "Our house is small and not big enough to live in. My son thought that since my eldest brother is getting married soon, we could free up a yard for him so that our house can be more spacious."

The Qiao family now only lived in a courtyard with two entrances, and now all the rooms, big and small, were already full of people. If the eldest son got married and had children, there really wouldn't be enough room.

The land of a large mansion in the capital is very expensive. The key is to have a good location. A mansion that can show off one's status may not be available even if you spend a lot of money.

Seeing how considerate he was, Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but soften his attitude. "This Aunt Chun is really of low status—"

Qiao Bing interrupted him and laughed at himself, "My son is now a cripple, unable to study, unable to enter the government, which noble lady would be willing to marry me?"

Everyone present looked at his lame leg.

Qiao Dongliang thought about it carefully and felt that what he said was very true. He pretended to be majestic and said, "Since you want to move out of the mansion and live somewhere else, I won't stop you. But when you are outside, you must not use the name of the Qiao Mansion to do evil!"

"My son doesn't dare." Qiao Bing lowered his head respectfully.

"Go back and pack up. I have a small house in the north city. It's suitable for you and Aunt Chun to live there."

Qiao Dongliang waved at him with disgust in his eyes.

A cripple who can't read and can't become an official is of no use to the Qiao family.

It’s better to divide it up, so there will be one less burden in the family.

Qiao Bing had just turned around and walked three steps when Bai Yaoyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"stop!"

Qiao Bing paused, turned around and looked at Bai Yaoyao, "What's the matter, cousin?"

Bai Mulin and Qiao Dongliang also looked at her with confusion.

Bai Yaoyao stroked the soft fur of the Persian cat in her arms, raised the corners of her lips, and asked with a bright smile: "How long did you stand outside the door just now, and how much did you hear?"

"What do you mean cousin?"

Qiao Bing frowned slightly, pretending not to understand what she said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, cousin. You will understand later."

Bai Yaoyao raised her chin towards Qiao Dongliang and said, "Uncle, call in the little girl who just served the tea. I have something to ask you."

Qiao Dongliang raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Bing, then said in a cold voice: "If you heard it, tell me now, and I can forgive you this time!"

"I just came in. What did you say?" Qiao Bing still looked confused.

Bai Mulin looked at Qiao Bing indifferently, "Uncle, why bother to say more if you send someone in to ask?"

Qiao Dongliang glared at him angrily, "Did you really not hear it?"

“I really didn’t hear it.”

Qiao Bing refused to give in, so Qiao Dongliang had to ask someone to call over the maid who had just served tea.

The maid stood in the hall, head lowered, trembling with fear.

Bai Yaoyao asked softly, "When you came here just now, did you see Young Master Qiao Bing at the door?"

The maid carefully glanced in the direction of Qiao Bing, her voice trembling slightly: "When I came here, I saw the Second Young Master at the door."

Bai Yaoyao's lips curved up and she looked at Qiao Bing with a sneer, "Second cousin, you still don't admit it now?"

Qiao Bing frowned. "This maid came in after me. Why is it so strange to see me?"

"Yeah, you put her first and then her, so it's normal to see it."

The smile on Bai Yaoyao's lips became brighter and brighter. "I was just joking with you just now. Go back now."

Qiao Bing looked at the bright smile on her lips and felt a sense of strangeness.

Bai Yaoyao used to always smile shyly and timidly, pretending to be coquettish, and there was never that evil, charming look in her eyes that could make one's hair stand on end.

He didn't stop and turned to walk out the door.

Just as Qiao Dongliang was about to say something, Bai Yaoyao's smile instantly disappeared, and she said in a very cold voice: "Uncle, send someone to detain Qiao Bing!"

"what?"

Qiao Dongliang thought he had heard it wrong and looked at her in surprise.

"I said," Bai Yaoyao turned her head, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "Send someone to detain Qiao Bing!"

Qiao Dongliang's scalp tingled at her dark and cold eyes. He pulled the corner of his mouth and stood up, "I'll have him locked up right away."

Bai Yaoyao stared at his back and pondered for a moment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Brother, what do you say if a clean thing gets stained?"

When Bai Mulin heard her words, he didn't react at first. After he reacted, he immediately chased in the direction of Qiao Dongliang.

"You sit down, I'm going to go out for a while."

This Qiao Bing had previously had a scandal with Yaoyao. If Qiao Bing were alive, this scandal would sooner or later be brought up by others.

If there is a stain, it must be wiped off!

Qiao Dongliang had just ordered someone to go to Qiao Bing's yard, and when he turned around he almost ran into Bai Mulin.

"Ouch, you scared me."

Bai Mulin pulled him aside and waved his hand to let a servant beside him leave.

When there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, Yaoyao is already the Crown Prince's person."

"really?"

Qiao Dongliang's eyes suddenly lit up, "When did it happen?"

"It doesn't matter when it happened. What matters is what happened between Qiao Bing and Yaoyao before!"

"This, this, this..."

Qiao Dongliang instantly remembered the scandal between Qiao Bing and Bai Yaoyao. If it weren't for that incident, how could she have made an engagement with Qiao Bing.

"Uncle, Qiao Bing is nothing but a waste. When Yaoyao marries the prince and becomes the queen, you will be the queen's uncle and a member of the royal family!"

"Are you ready to..."

Bai Mulin looked serious, "Qiao Bing can't stay!"

Qiao Dongliang felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He widened his eyes and hesitated, "But... killing is a capital crime..."

"Of course, we shouldn't kill people, but there are many ways to take their lives in this world."

Bai Mulin leaned close to his ear and whispered for a moment in a low voice.

Qiao Dongliang listened to his words, staring with his eyes wide open, his face turning paler and paler.

"Uncle, don't you think it's worth it to use only one person to make the entire Qiao family prosper?"
