Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Li Ling looked at Qiao He in disbelief, her eyes red.

Qiao Ruyi was right in one thing. No matter what she said, Qiao He no longer believed her.

He only trusts Qiao Ruyi now. Even if she confuses right and wrong, Qiao He only trusts her.

Qiao He only felt a headache and annoyance, and coldly instructed, "Send the lady to rest, everyone disperse!"

Qiao Ruyuan helped Li Ling upstairs, and the servants in the backyard also dispersed.

Qiao Ruyi didn't leave, and Qiao He didn't leave either.

"Li Ling really wants to push you?" Qiao He looked at Qiao Ruyi.

There were still traces of tears on Qiao Ruyi's face. "She probably didn't mean to push me. Maybe she really thought I was her mother."

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes, her eyes were charming and touching. "I heard from Aunt Wang that she has been having nightmares recently. She said she dreamed of Mom."

Hearing this, Qiao He couldn't help but recall that when Li Ling woke up just now, she did say she had a nightmare.

He called Wang Ma over and asked, "Is that so?"

Aunt Wang replied respectfully, "Mr. Qiao, Madam has been in a bad mood lately. She often dreams of Madam Yin and wonders if the eldest daughter is unlucky for her. She just woke up in the middle of the night and asked if the eldest daughter was home. I casually mentioned that the eldest daughter couldn't sleep and was feeding the fish in the backyard. I didn't expect this to happen."

Speaking of this, Wang Ma's face was full of regret.

"She's been getting more and more crazy lately." Qiao He got a headache whenever he mentioned Li Ling. The company's affairs hadn't been resolved yet, and things at home were a mess again.

"Why can't you sleep?" he asked Qiao Ruyi again.

Qiao Ruyi said sadly, "I just miss my mother, especially these few days when I came to Qiao Mansion."

She looked at the fish in the pond. "Mom loved raising fish when she was alive. I remember you traveled thousands of miles to buy her all kinds of rare fish. But now that Mom has passed away, the fish in this pond aren't as pretty as they used to be."

She turned to look at Qiao He and smiled gently, "So, I wanted to come and see the fish. Seeing the fish reminded me of the days when I used to feed the fish with my mother."

Seeing her appearance, Qiao He's brows relaxed. He stepped forward and gently put his arm around her shoulders, sighing deeply, "Ruyi, it's Daddy who's sorry for your mom. He didn't let her have a good life for a few years."

Qiao Ruyi curled the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were filled with indifference.

It doesn’t matter, she thought, because your good days won’t last long.

the other side.

As soon as Qiao Ruyuan came downstairs and stood in the backyard, she saw Qiao He hugging Qiao Ruyi, looking like a loving father and a filial daughter. She felt so angry that her teeth were itching!

......

When Qiao Ruyi went upstairs, she happened to meet Aunt Wang who was about to come upstairs with freshly brewed ginger tea.

Qiao Ruyi glanced at the ginger tea in her hand and smiled softly, "Auntie Li must have been quite frightened after falling into the pond today. It will probably take her a while to recover. Maybe she'll have nightmares every night again."

Wang Ma said softly, "Miss, that's natural."

Qiao Ruyi moved closer and whispered, "Auntie Wang, you did a great job tonight. Thank you."

"It's my pleasure, Miss." Aunt Wang glanced at the ginger tea in her hand and said, "I'll go give some ginger tea to Madam Li."

Qiao Ruyi went upstairs and was about to return to her room when she saw the nanny standing at the door of the children's room with a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ruyi walked over and saw the light coming through the crack in the door. "Is Xile awake?"

The nanny looked worried. "Master Xile woke up when he heard the noise just now. He knew that Madam Li fell into the water. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep, and he didn't let me go in to accompany him."

"I gonna go see."

Qiao Ruyi knocked on the door and asked gently, "Xi Le? I'm your sister, can I come in?"

A few seconds later, a choked voice came from inside the house through the crack in the door, "Sister..."

When Qiao Ruyi pushed the door open, Qiao Xile was sitting on the floor next to the bed, with her legs bent and hugging herself, her small body curled up into a ball.

When he saw her come in, his big eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes, which made Qiao Ruyi feel distressed.

"What's wrong, Xile?" Qiao Ruyi hurried over, sat with him, and gently stroked his hair. "Are you worried about your mother? She's been rescued and is not in danger of life. She has returned to her room to rest."

Seeing Qiao Xile worried about Li Ling, Qiao Ruyi felt a little guilty.

She planned this matter and calculated the result. She hated Li Ling, but Li Ling was also Xile's mother.

If she wanted to take revenge on Li Ling, she would inevitably hurt Xile.

"Xi Le..." She was about to apologize to him, but she saw the child raised his head eagerly and looked at her cautiously.

"Sister..." Xile's voice trembled, tears streaming down her face. "Did you almost die?"

At this point, he suddenly threw himself into Qiao Ruyi's arms, sobbing, "I heard the servants say that it was mom who wanted to kill you, but ended up falling into the pond... Sister, don't let mom kill you... I don't want you to die. If you die, no one will love Xile..."

Qiao Ruyi's heart trembled, and her eyes reddened, "Were you just... worried about your sister?"

The person in her arms nodded vigorously, "I'm afraid mom will kill you..."

Then he raised his head from Qiao Ruyi's arms, "Sister, why don't you go and go to your brother's place? Don't stay here."

His little face was covered with traces of tears, and his tear-filled eyes were filled with sincerity. Qiao Ruyi's heart ached.

Qiao Xile's nose and eyes were red, and she kept shedding tears. "Mom and Sister Ruyuan both want to harm you. I'm so afraid they will hurt you..."

"Don't be afraid." Qiao Ruyi looked down at Qiao Xile and wiped the tears from his face. "Sister will be fine."

"But Sister Ruyuan has killed someone before. She is a murderer..." Qiao Xile was afraid when she mentioned Qiao Ruyuan. "I'm afraid she will kill you too—"

Before Qiao Xile could finish his words, Qiao Ruyi covered his mouth.

"Shh..." Qiao Ruyuan whispered to him, "Xi Le, you must not tell anyone else about Qiao Ruyuan's murder. You must not let other people in the Qiao Mansion know about it, especially Li Ling and Qiao Ruyuan."

Qiao Xile didn't understand why Qiao Ruyi didn't let him speak, but as long as it was her words, he would listen, so he nodded obediently.

Outside the door, the hand that was about to push the door open stopped in mid-air, his eyes suddenly widened, and the blood color on his face quickly faded.

Qiao Ruyuan stood at the door, his heart beating like thunder, and looked inside in disbelief through the half-open door.

This matter that she had almost forgotten was brought up again.

It was her younger brother Qiao Xile who mentioned it!

Qiao Xile told Qiao Ruyi that she had killed someone!

How did Qiao Xile know about this? When did he tell Qiao Ruyi?

No, no!

Qiao Ruyuan left the door in a panic. She couldn't let this matter be exposed!
