Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Then, she explained the whole story in detail. Lord Zhang was so cold that he broke out in a sweat. Every time he drank a sip of hot tea, he felt like he was in an icy cave.

This is a war between the wealthy and powerful families in Beijing. Both sides have sent their people to fight here.

Lord Zhang felt that he was about to fall down. He lifted up his sleeves and wiped his forehead. Oh my god.

"Qiao, Miss Qiao, I will pretend I didn't hear any of this—"

He really wished he was blind, no, deaf.

"No," Qiao Jian'er interrupted him. "If I don't come to Master Zhang, the Qiao family in the capital will come to you. Under coercion and inducement, I don't know what choice Master Zhang will make. No matter which side he chooses, he will offend the other side."

"Then can I not choose?"

Qiao Jian'er had a half-smile on his face. "Master Zhang, as the head of a county, has the power to decide matters within the county. Do you think the person who stole your credit will let you go?"

"Rather than being caught off guard and not knowing how to respond, it's better to make a decision now so we don't get caught off guard."

Lord Zhang wanted to die at this moment. He originally thought that as an official in such a remote place, he would never seek fame and fortune in his life. He just wanted to spend his whole life here with his daughter.

I never thought that such an important and life-threatening matter would come to me.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke with some difficulty, "Miss Qiao, I must be fair. You were the one who brought out the formation diagram. You contributed to the battle that repelled the Northern Tribal Alliance. Anyone who thought otherwise is either stupid or evil. Although I am a coward, I can distinguish right from wrong. If I had to choose, I would naturally side with you."

"What's more, I have a loving child. As a parent, I should set an example and not let my children see the stain on my body."

After hearing what Lord Zhang said, Qiao Jianer couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.

"Miss Qiao, tell me how you want me to act."

Qiao Jianer said quietly, "When the time comes, Master Zhang will have to adopt an ambiguous attitude that appears to favor the Qiao family of the capital."

Only in this way would the people of the Qiao family in the capital be willing to take Lord Zhang with them.

Lord Zhang pondered and soon understood. Having been an official for many years, he certainly knew what to do.

He chose Qiao Jian'er's side not only because of justice and his daughter, but also for another reason. The Pei family was a founding hero who had stood for more than a hundred years without any decline. It was the most powerful king of a different surname in the capital city with many wealthy families and the vast territory of Daze State.

Now that everything is in place, Qiao Jianer has to rush to Yuezhou without stopping.

Zhang Ci'er followed with her skirt lifted up.

"Miss Qiao, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, there are many things to do."

Zhang Ci'er's face was filled with admiration: "I really envy you, you are a person who can do great things."

She wanted to be on par with Qiao Lian'er, but she only knew some arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and at most read some military books. She had skills and courage like Qiao Lian'er, but no one knew how she acquired them. It seemed as if they were innate, which made people very envious.

Qiao Jianer smiled and said, "Ms. Zhang, it's actually quite good for you to grow up carefree like this."

"Why? Isn't it true that the more powerful a person is, the better."

Qiao Jianer's expression was a bit complicated: "With a background like mine, whether it's business or warfare, I have some ideas in my head. If I can't become stronger, danger will find me and my family."

"Ultimately, it's about saving lives."

Zhang Ci'er was stunned when he heard this.

Qiao Jianer continued, "But you're different. As the county magistrate's daughter, you have the protection of Lord Zhang. The county government is your protective wall."

"You don't have to be like me, always alert and on the lookout for everything, running around all the time. It's a blessing to be able to grow up happily and safely."

"Of course, this doesn't mean you should become a fool and not even know how to protect yourself. Read more books, open your mind, be sensible, and make decisions when necessary. Then you will never suffer any loss in your life."

After hearing this, Zhang Ci'er felt suddenly enlightened.

Yes, she had been thinking about catching up with Qiao Jianer before, forcing herself to read books that had no interest in her, which made her more and more tired day by day.

It turns out that everyone is different and has his or her own path. Not everyone can be Qiao Lianer or Zhang Cier.

But no matter what kind of person you are, you must be independent.

"Thank you, I understand." She said sincerely.

Qiao Jianer patted her shoulder and left.

They are all still children. No matter whether it is Shi Murou in the past or Zhang Ci'er in the future, as long as they are kind, she will not blame them.

Zhang Ci'er only felt that Qiao Lian'er's patting of her shoulder was a bit like an adult patting a child, with a sense of comfort and encouragement from someone who had experienced it.

Mature at a young age, well, that must be the case.

There was even more admiration in Zhang Ci'er's eyes, but it was an appreciation with a distance, not an insistence on getting closer.

Lord Zhang was standing not far away and heard all the conversation. He felt relieved and nodded slightly at Qiao Lian'er's receding back.

During this period, Ci'er pushed herself too hard and only spared half an hour every day to play.

He tried to persuade his daughter, but she said she wanted to learn from Qiao Lianer.

But Ci'er is his daughter. No matter how good she is, as a father, he will always love and protect her.

He would rather his daughter be mediocre than suffer. Some parents hope their children are outstanding, but he wants his children to be happy.

Fortunately, Miss Qiao made her daughter come to her senses. Miss Qiao saved her daughter again. Lord Zhang felt that the decision was more solid and stable and would not be shaken at all.

Because we were delayed in the county town for a while, it was already dark when we arrived in Yuezhou.

The Chu family had already finished their meal. When they heard the familiar sound of horse hooves coming from the door, Old Madam Chu rushed out.

The mother and daughter had only been back for a few days, but she was already tormented by longing and unable to sleep at night.

"Madam, what are you doing? Be careful not to bump into anything. Ni'er and Jian'er just returned to Qingshui Town. Why are you hallucinating again?" Old Master Chu shook his head helplessly.

At the door came the excited voice of Old Madam Chu: "Jian'er is here."

Mr. Chu was delighted and ordered the chef: "Hurry up and prepare a few delicious dishes, including some snacks."

There are more servants in the house now. Some take the horses to feed, while others run to Qiao Lianer's room to take care of it. It is very lively.

After chatting for a while in the living room, Qiao Jianer said, "I came here this time because I have something to tell Grandpa and Grandma."

"Grandpa, could you please ask Wei Biejia and Wei Chi to come home?"

Mr. Chu immediately ordered someone to invite him.

Wei Chi and Gao Shuying both passed the school training competition and are now serving as left and right deputy envoys in the Yuezhou garrison.

Soon, the father and son arrived.
