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

Mr. Chu was also there. He said, "It's Jian'er, so what? Wei Biejia, are you not convinced?"

Wei Biejia chuckled twice: "It's just an accident, Lord Chu, don't think too much about it."

Of course, no one at the dinner table missed their hostile attitude.

After a casual question, Qiao Yuan found out that Chu Congshi was Qiao Jianer's grandfather, and Wei Biejia was his brother-in-law.

It seems that the two of them don't get along.

The other Yuezhou officials at the dinner table had subtle and ambiguous attitudes towards this.

It can be judged that some stand on the side of Chu Gongshi, while others support Wei Beijia.

This way, things will be much easier.

They easily know which people can be used for their own purposes and which people do not need to get involved in this mess.

After the banquet, Wei Beijia, along with Lord Tu and three other officials, were invited by Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren to the inn where they were staying.

Old Master Chu looked at the group of people leaving with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Yu Jianshan was also looking at the same place as him, with a complicated expression.

He tutted his words and said, "Chu Congshi, I just don't understand why you and your brother-in-law have to fall out at this critical moment."

Mr. Chu smiled politely and said, "There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between family members. It's just a misunderstanding."

Yu Jianshan seemed to be thinking about something.

Old Master Chu could see that this man hardly said a word at the dinner table, but his mind was extremely sharp.

He already knew that Yu Jianshan was a member of the Pei family, and the people the Pei family wanted to follow him must be trustworthy.

But he pretended to know nothing. Yu Jianshan was left alone here, so he tried his best to be a good host and win his favor.

He made a gesture of "invite" and said: "Master Yu, if you do not mind my humble house, please come in and have a chat."

Yu Jianshan pondered for a moment and nodded.

In the hall, the aroma of tea wafted in the air, and plates of exquisite snacks were placed on the table. Yu Jianshan just sipped the tea.

"This time we came here to give Qiao Jian'er a reward. Is she really your granddaughter?"

"The newly recognized relative is genuine, and everyone in Wanglongfang knows it."

Old Master Chu recounted the story of his search for his daughter.

The Pei family did not mention the Chu family in Yuezhou, which was beyond Jianshan's expectation.

He raised his eyelids several times to look at Mr. Chu's expression. He could tell that Chu Yanmao loved his granddaughter very much and was proud of her.

When he mentioned that girl, his eyes and eyebrows were full of pride.

"How long has it been since Chu Congshi and Wei Beijia were at odds?" Yu Jianshan suddenly asked.

"Not long ago, about ten days ago."

"Alas, my parents have worked so hard to find our daughter for so many years, and my brother-in-law's family has also helped a lot. My nephew is even 25 or 26 years old and still hasn't married. Who would have thought that after we found her, we would actually tear each other apart."

Yu Jianshan's eyelids twitched.

"Now that we've recognized each other, Miss Qiao has two homes. How often do you come here?"

"I came here once more than half a month ago, and once ten days ago."

After asking these questions, Yu Jianshan already understood in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This girl is really smart. She cleared all the obstacles on his way in advance.

He believed that it was not just Wei Beijia, but other officials as well.

In fact, the internal structure of a provincial capital is mostly interconnected and closely integrated. It is impossible for there to be such a serious division just because of the arrival of people from the capital.

Yu Jianshan felt relieved.

General Lu and General Xu are both fierce warriors who have fought their way out of the battlefield. They are impartial and unyielding. They only look at evidence. The imperial edicts and documents regarding rewards are all in their hands, so the more thorough the preparations here, the better.

Early the next morning, the rewarding team set out again.

After arriving at the county town, they needed to spend the night there. Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren summoned County Magistrate Zhang to see them. Before dawn, County Magistrate Zhang and the chief clerk went there together with their household registration certificate.

Song Ruier saw this team from the classroom window, and his eyes widened. As expected, these people from the capital had such noble and extraordinary temperament, worthy of being from aristocratic families.

He pretended to be sick and asked for leave from his husband. At this time, how could he not join in the fun?

When the team arrived at Datian Village, they saw the flags of the Imperial Guards and the people leading them looked like high-ranking officials and generals. The villagers were very surprised. Was something big going to happen in Datian Village again?

They weren't here to arrest anyone, so everyone felt a little nervous.

When Zhao Lizheng saw this situation, he hurried forward to ask what was going on.

"You are the village head."

"Tell Qiao Lian'er from the Qiao family in Datian Village and their family to come and receive the imperial edict." Qin Ren said.

Zhao Lizheng hesitated. "There are two Qiao families in Datian Village, one in the middle and one at the east end of the village. Both families have a girl named Qiao Lian'er. I don't know which one you are looking for."

"There are two Qiao Jian'er?" General Xu was surprised and looked at General Lu.

"Exactly."

"In that case, let both of you come." Qiao Yuan seemed to have a headache.

There were many villagers gathered here. When they saw General Xu holding the imperial edict in his hand, they all knelt on the ground. They secretly discussed whether it was possible that the girl from the Qiao family had another happy event.

Soon the two families arrived and also knelt on the ground.

The two generals looked at the two Qiao Lian girls and already had an idea in their minds.

General Lu raised his chin towards Qiao Jianer and said, "Miss Qiao, please step forward and receive the order."

Qiao Jian'er knelt forward with her hands raised above her head, but she knew that things would not be that simple.

The faces of the people from the Qiao family in the east of the village changed, and Qiao Lian'er's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Sure enough, Qin Ren said gloomily.

"General Lu, what makes you so sure that this Miss Qiao is the one to be rewarded in the imperial edict?"

Qiao Yuan also said, "The two generals are veterans of the battlefield and are more proficient in marching and fighting. It's inevitable that they will be careless in matters like this. If they make a mistake and the emperor calls for punishment, I'm afraid no one will be able to bear the consequences."

General Lu looked displeased: "Master Qiao, I have my reasons for making this decision."

"What's the logic behind that? General Lu, please tell me. With so many officials present, we still have to reach a result that will satisfy the people. Otherwise, if we reward the wrong person, it will be a serious matter." Qin Ren said with a warning tone.

General Xu glanced at him and pulled out a scroll from his sleeve.

"We commanders have long known that a crucial reason for our victory this time was because a girl named Qiao Jian'er from Datian Village, Qingshui Town, had produced ten formations. We commanders were deeply impressed and wanted to witness her mastery. Fortunately, we obtained her portrait and her rewritten formations. Both the handwriting and the images of the formations match."

As he spoke, he slowly unfolded the scroll.
