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

Qiao Jianer thought for a moment and said, "Treat them as you would treat them."

Pei Shijiu thought for a moment and understood what she meant.

What Qiao Jian'er didn't expect was that while she was still waiting for the opportunity, the Zhao brothers and sisters started to make trouble again.

Zhao Rushuang even took the initiative to send her a letter, inviting her to meet him in a teahouse.

The post only said that there was something important to tell her. Qiao Jianer wanted to see what tricks she was playing, so she accepted the invitation and went.

The two sides have been secretly competing for some time. Apart from meeting each other at banquets before, this is the first time they have met in the true sense.

When Qiao Jianer arrived, Zhao Rushuang had already prepared tea and snacks. She secretly used something in the space to test it and found that there was no poison.

"The princess is a big shot and a very busy person. It's rare for her to accept my invitation. Sorry to bother you." Zhao Rushuang smiled.

"Miss Zhao said it was an important matter, so I naturally can't delay." Qiao Jian'er sat down naturally, picked up the cup without any precautions, and took a sip.

"Since the princess is being straightforward, I don't need to beat around the bush." ​​Zhao Rushuang lowered his voice slightly. "More than half a month ago, Mu Langguan was riding in a carriage to the Honglu Temple to report for duty. Unexpectedly, the horse suddenly got startled and threw Mu Langguan out of the carriage. It is said that he was seriously injured at the time. It was only because the Qiao family had a good medicine that Mu Langguan was able to come back to life in such a short time. Without it, I'm afraid he would have been beyond repair."

She pointed this out directly, which made Qiao Jianer laugh. She believed that there would be more exciting things to come.

He changed his posture and waited calmly for Zhao Rushuang to continue.

Zhao Rushuang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that, but he continued anyway.

"When this happened, I was thinking, 'I just happened to find out that when Mu Langguan went to the Honglu Temple to take over his post, my father and Lord Bai caught a cold and were bedridden.' I wondered if anyone would think that our Zhao family couldn't tolerate Mu Langguan because he was taking away the benefits of receiving foreign guests, and so they were deliberately harming him."

She looked into Qiao Jianer's eyes and said, "If we are misunderstood like this, our Zhao family cannot afford it."

Qiao Jianer raised her eyebrows and said, "The innocent are innocent. Why bother telling me so much, Miss Zhao?"

"Yes, the innocent are innocent, but they cannot withstand suspicion from those with ulterior motives. You know, three people can make a tiger. If rumors spread, it will damage the reputation of the Zhao family, which is not what the Zhao family wants to see."

"Then Miss Zhao, who do you think did it?"

Qiao Lian'er knew that Zhao Rushuang was waiting for her to ask this question.

"The Zhao and Bai families bear the greatest suspicion, so my brother and I conducted a thorough investigation. Unfortunately, we discovered that on the day that Mu Langguan began his replacement at the Honglu Temple, Second Young Master Bai went to the Jixiang Pharmacy and bought a drug that can scare horses. It was the most effective drug imported from the Western Regions. A few days later, Mu Langguan had an accident. The princess believes there may be a connection between the two."

Qiao Jian'er thought that the second young master Bai was a big and strong man, a little silly, and it was said that he was also a playboy who did not work properly. No wonder he was chosen by the Zhao brothers and sisters.

"Second Master Bai, although he is not very serious, he doesn't look like someone who would do anything bad."

Zhao Rushuang shook his head and smiled, "The princess thinks too simply of people. Being from a high-ranking family, even the dumbest person will consider the family's interests. They've been influenced from a young age, and those concepts and calculations are already ingrained in their minds."

"But Mr. Bai is not a smart man after all. Maybe he has hidden the used medicine in his room before throwing it away." Zhao Rushuang covered his mouth, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then waved his hand: "This is just my guess. If you believe it, you can investigate. If you don't believe it, just pretend I never said it."

Qiao Jianer cooperated with her, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

"So, I really need to investigate thoroughly."

Seeing that the other party had really taken the bait, Zhao Rushuang laughed in his heart. Everyone said that Princess Feiluan was smart, but it seemed that she was just so-so now. He was played around by her.

"I hope the princess can find out the truth as soon as possible and give Mu Langguan an explanation for the suffering he has endured."

Qiao Jianer said quietly, "If the real murderer is found, Miss Zhao, what do you think? Should I hand him over to the authorities, or take revenge privately?"

Zhao Rushuang didn't know if it was her voice that was mixed with chill, or the cold winter wind outside, but he just felt as if goose bumps appeared on his body.

She sorted out her thoughts and thought that Qiao Jianer should not have hidden meanings, because from beginning to end, Qiao Jianer had no evidence to prove that the Zhao family did it. Otherwise, she would not have been so calm during this period, waiting for the Zhao family or the Bai family to come and apologize.

The Zhao family was eliminated as a suspect, and there was only one murderer, the Bai family.

She smiled awkwardly, "As long as the murderer can be caught, it's up to the princess to do whatever she wants. I'm just worried that the Zhao family will be unjustly suspected, so I came to explain it to the princess."

"I have something to do at home and cannot stay with you for too long. Please do as you please, Princess. I will go back first." Zhao Rushuang stood up, smiled at Qiao Jian'er, bowed gracefully, and left the private room.

Qiao Jian'er tapped the table with her fingers. Of course she had to deal with the Zhao brothers and sisters, but since the Zhao family wanted to frame the Bai family, the Bai family was still kept in the dark. Isn't that unfair?

She first investigated Jixiang Pharmacy. This pharmacy was under the name of Zhao Rushuang's cousin, and the account books had been tampered with and new entries had been added.

I went to Mr. Bai's residence again and found that there was a drug under his bed sheet that could make horses aroused.

The Zhao family did everything they could to divert the trouble away.

Qiao Lian'er found out that among the descendants of the Bai family, the smartest person is Miss Bai San. Miss Bai San has been smart and good at observing people's words and expressions since she was a child, and she is highly valued by Lord Bai.

She wrote a long letter to Miss Bai San, detailing the whole incident from beginning to end, and then placed the letter on her dressing table.

Miss Bai San came back from the party in a beautiful dress and was in a good mood. She had been in the spotlight today. When she was sitting in front of the dressing table and taking off her jewelry, she saw a letter on the table.

The letter was placed in a very clever place, where the servants would hardly notice it, but she would turn to it every day.

"Who sent the letter?" asked Miss Bai San.

The nanny who had served Miss Bai for many years saw the extra letter and was confused. "Oh, where did this letter come from? I've been in the courtyard the whole time and didn't see anyone delivering it."

Third Miss Bai thought: "It must be someone with great Qinggong skills who quietly sent it in. Let's take a look at what it contains first."

She unfolded the letter and saw what was written on it. Her expression changed little by little and her eyes became gloomy.

"Good, very good. Our Bai family has never provoked anyone. This time, when Daddy fell ill while receiving foreign guests, the Bai family also behaved themselves and did not harbor any resentment."

"You caused that disaster yourself, and you want to blame our Bai family. Is that possible?"
