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

The Qiao family was shocked; such a serious thing had happened without their knowledge.

They are the direct beneficiaries of Lian'er's special abilities and understand better than anyone else how powerful they are.

It can be said that the Qiao family was able to quickly gain a foothold in the capital not only because Lian'er was intelligent, but also because of a certain invisible and intangible ability she possessed, which was an extremely important winning factor.

Now, having encountered a formidable opponent, this special skill has been banned and cannot be used.

For a moment, the Qiao family members were all in a somber mood.

"Where is that Five Elements sorcerer? Every man in our Qiao family is skilled in martial arts. I don't believe we can't deal with him." Qiao Dayong said angrily.

The Qiao family has never been affected so much before.

With this person's appearance, Lian'er was restricted in many ways. It was one thing for the goods to be affected, as the Qiao family had enough wealth to last several lifetimes. However, Lian'er held several fiefdoms and even territories abroad. If any tricky troubles arose, it would be difficult to handle.

It will take at least several times more effort and time, and in the long run, you will definitely be exhausted.

“Yes, Lian’er, at worst we’ll all go together. It’s impossible for him to be so skilled that our whole family can’t handle him,” said Qiao Laosan.

The Qiao family was filled with righteous indignation.

They were vaguely worried about the future of the Qiao family, and they didn't want Lian'er to suffer because of it.

Qiao Lian'er gently shook her head: "The skills of the Five Elements sorcerers far surpass those of ordinary martial arts. Even Pei Er, who has learned powerful martial arts since childhood, could not capture Huo Xiu, nor could he gain much advantage over him."

The Qiao family members exchanged glances. This person was indeed quite formidable. Even the Second Prince Pei couldn't do anything about him. The Qiao family men, who had learned a fighting style in the army that favored precise, methodical moves, were even less capable of dealing with him.

Qiao Xi'er realized the key point: "The other party must have a further purpose in doing this, and I'm afraid things will get turbulent again in the future."

"Yes, first we'll prevent Lian'er from fully displaying his abilities, and who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve," Qiao Dacheng said.

Qiao Lian'er remained calm.

"I have made arrangements and plans, but they are not as effective as before. During this period, everyone should be more careful and take precautions."

"Moreover, this restriction is not permanent; it will be lifted sooner or later, we just need to wait."

Qiao Lian'er didn't believe that Huo Xiu, as a Five Elements sorcerer, would never use magic. If that were the case, wouldn't his entire life of cultivation have been in vain?

Having understood the situation, Qiao Lian'er told everyone to disperse on their own.

The Qiao family was filled with worry, and the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as before.

Previously, Qiao Lian'er would send the Emperor fruit, pastries, and snacks every other week.

With limited space, fresh fruits and snacks could not be supplied. She could only leave the best batch of snacks in the shop and send them to the palace, which would probably last for a year.

However, the emperor became somewhat annoyed that he was always being given snacks.

"Lian'er, I haven't eaten durian in a long time. Although I used to get tired of the taste, I'm craving it now."

"And small cakes, and that tiramisu book you mentioned, and soy milk boxes—"

"I haven't gotten tired of these yet."

The emperor looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Qiao Lian'er was at her wit's end. She had no choice but to kneel down and say with a hint of helplessness, "This humble woman must apologize to Your Majesty."

"Please forgive me, what did Lian'er do wrong? These are just food, we'll send them next time," the emperor said.

Qiao Lian'er sighed: "There was a problem with the freight, it was cut off, and many things can't be supplied. There are a lot of shortages on the shelves of Qiao Family Shop. These snacks are what I left in advance, in case the Emperor has nothing to eat."

The emperor was stunned for a moment. All he knew was that Qiao Lian'er had everything, in all sorts of different ways. She could bring out anything he wanted to eat, many of which were novelties he had never tasted before, constantly whetting his appetite.

He never investigated how Qiao Lian'er could produce these things, nor did he want to ask her or disturb her. As long as she was loyal to the emperor and could please him, even if he could guess that she had some special qualities, he would turn a blind eye.

But now, Qiao Lian'er tells him that her supply of goods is in trouble.

The emperor then realized that Qiao Lian'er was not omnipotent. She might have obtained these things much more easily than others, but she would also be subject to many limitations.

Although his appetite could not be satisfied as before, the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was aware of the rumors circulating in the capital. If Qiao Lian'er really did possess extraordinary abilities, would he be threatened one day?

Now it seems that Qiao Lian'er also has her own difficulties.

The emperor laughed, his laughter conveying a sense of ease.

"This is no big deal. Lian'er, get up quickly. You've been bringing me delicious food, and I'm very happy. How could I blame you just because you can't bring it for the time being?"

As he spoke, he personally helped Qiao Lian'er up.

Qiao Lian'er, however, discerned a certain hidden meaning in that laughter.

The emperor did not want her to be too powerful; he disliked anything or anyone that was out of his control.

The emperor didn't ask her questions before because he could gain a lot of emotional value from her and have his gluttonous desires satisfied.

This served as a wake-up call for Qiao Lian'er; she needed to be even more careful in front of the emperor.

As he walked out of the palace, Qiao Lian looked up at the horizon.

It's late autumn now, and another year is almost over.

The sky was covered by a layer of dark clouds, and the weather was always gloomy. More than a month had passed, and those who should have taken action were still holding back.

This shows that they are very patient; even though her abilities are currently limited, they did not act rashly.

The more this happens, the stronger that bad feeling becomes.

Prince Pei's Residence.

Pei Shijiu paced back and forth in the courtyard, sometimes frowning, sometimes letting out a long breath.

"Don't worry, little brother, things will work themselves out," Pei Zhujin comforted him.

“Brother, these are all empty words. We need to come up with practical and effective methods to solve the problem,” Pei Shijiu said.

Therefore, Pei Zhujin couldn't say anything more.

He knew that his younger brother's heart was completely devoted to Qiao Lian'er, sharing her worries and having her ingrained in his very being.

He simply said, "You should have heard back from the people you sent out."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Shijiu's attendant led several people into the courtyard.

These people were dressed in long robes of black, white, and gray, and had a somewhat otherworldly and otherworldly air about them.

For the past month or so, Pei Er had sent people to search for powerful Five Elements sorcerers, and these three were the result.

Pei Shijiu didn't say much, but took out a scroll from his sleeve and unfolded it.

"You should know this person upstairs, right?"
