After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

Chapter 21 Second Uncle Bet

Huo Shi knocked over the teacup, and Qiao Chufeng turned to look at Huo Shi with confusion on his face, his tone of concern.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Huo gritted his teeth tightly to prevent her from questioning him.

Qiao Chushan was calmer than Huo. He quickly recovered and explained casually.

"A few days ago, your sister-in-law was slandered for hiding witchcraft and Gu. She was a little frightened. This time when you came back, your sister-in-law forced herself to come over to see you."

When Qiao Chufeng heard this, his expression was worried: "Sister-in-law is not feeling well and should take a good rest. How can I do it by holding on to my body?"

Qiao Chufeng's every move was still modest and polite, which made Qiao Niannian amazed.

[No wonder he was able to deceive his parents and eldest brother. His acting skills are so good. Look at how well he manages to portray a caring and considerate family member. 】

Hearing her daughter's voice, Huo also calmed down.

The things her daughter said have not happened yet. She is questioning Qiao Chufeng now to no avail. She needs to stabilize the person first.

"I'm fine, but I'm worrying you."

"Second brother, this is Nian Nian, you haven't seen it yet!"

Qiao Chufeng's eyes fell on Qiao Niannian. She was a little girl who was just ten years old. She had delicate features and a little baby fat on her cheeks. She had a golden bun and a headdress in her bun. She was pretty and cute, and her eyes were lively. Qiao Chufeng was slightly in a trance.

The Qiao family are all good-looking, Huo is also a beauty, and the three sons in the family are all outstanding.

Now that he is here with Qiao Niannian, he is far ahead of the three brothers in front of him.

But even so, Qiao Chufeng just glanced at it, and then showed an expression full of apology.

"This is my first time seeing Nian Nian!"

"I was supposed to give you a greeting gift, but I came back in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything with me."

When Qiao Chushan and Huo heard this, the smiles on their faces did not change, but their hearts became much colder.

Qiao Chushan and Huo both understood that Qiao Chufeng was in a hurry when he returned to Beijing.

After all, it is a major military matter.

But there was plenty of time on the way from the palace to Mingyuan Hou Mansion.

When Qiao Chushan wrote a letter to Qiao Chufeng, he introduced Qiao Niannian as his niece. It was not unknown to Qiao Chufeng.

I have time and no shortage of money, but I didn’t prepare a gift for my children. No matter how you look at it, it’s all intentional.

Qiao Niannian smiled generously.

"It doesn't matter, Nian Nian doesn't need anything."

That's what she said, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

[They didn't bring me a gift because they were in a hurry, they just thought I wasn't favored and didn't give it to me. In fact, they had already prepared a gift and gave it to Qiao Yueying. 】

[Qiao Yueying is truly worthy of being the heroine. She knew this second uncle right away when she first met her when she was two years old. The second uncle liked Qiao Yueying and favored her. Qiao Yueying liked that the second uncle was also a general. The two of them have always maintained a relationship. A monthly letter exchange. 】

Qiao Chushan:......

Why didn't he know when this all happened?

Huo was also shocked. If her daughter hadn't reminded her, she would never have thought that Qiao Yueying was related to Qiao Chufeng.

Qiao Yueying was only two years old when they met.

What does a two-year-old baby know?

Qiao Chufeng used a two-year-old child to inquire about the situation in the mansion. What was he doing?

There is also Qiao Yueying. There is no shortage of food and drink for her in the house, and she is also asked to study and read. What will she do if she turns around and colludes with Qiao Chufeng?

Thinking of this, Huo's face turned cold.

Even Qiao Chushan couldn't look happy anymore.

Seeing that Qiao Chushan and Huo's expressions were a little bad, Qiao Chufeng felt doubtful in his heart.

According to his investigation, the relationship between Qiao Chushan and Huo was not good.

He also treats Qiao Niannian's daughter very unkindly.

It is said that Qiao Niannian almost burned to death after diving for three days, but the eldest brother was so stunned that he didn't even look at it.

Qiao Yueying, on the other hand, was just frightened by Qiao Niannian's diving, so her eldest brother hurriedly took her things to visit and stayed there to take care of her for a day.

Is his information wrong?

impossible. The people he arranges personally are absolutely impossible to make mistakes.

Moreover, Qiao Yueying writes a letter every month, and between the lines is her eldest brother's love for her, which is absolutely unmistakable.

Thinking of this, Qiao Chufeng took the initiative to speak.

"Brother, sister-in-law, why didn't you see the rising moon?"

"The last time we met, she was a little girl. We haven't seen her for ten years. She must have grown into a big girl."

Just as Qiao Chushan was about to speak, he heard his daughter's voice.

[You were calling me sister-in-law just now, but now you mention Qiao Yueying in front of my mother. Are you afraid that my mother will be too happy? 】

Huo:...

Right!

Qiao Chufeng was like this before, but she never cared about it. After all, Qiao Yueying was also Qiao Chufeng's niece, but when he treated her differently, Huo had to care about it.

Once they started to care about each other, Qiao Chufeng's two faces became more and more obvious, and Huo felt extremely disgusted.

She was so blind before that she didn't realize that Qiao Chufeng was so duplicitous.

[And my father is the most pitiful. He helped others raise their daughter, but also let his daughter collude with his brother and shun him. Although my father did not die in the end, the result was worse than death. He went crazy and was killed by Qiao Chufeng. Beating, scolding, and even feeding the dog rotten food, how pitiful! 】

Qiao Chushan almost jumped up with excitement.

How dare this bastard do this to him.

Thinking of this, he stared at Qiao Chufeng with burning eyes, wanting to see what the other person was.

Qiao Chufeng thought that he had done the right thing and felt complacent in his heart.

He knew that he had made the right bet back then.

What Qiao Chushan cares about most is Qiao Yueying.

Qiao Niannian was still complaining.

[Look, with this eager look, I don’t know if I thought that the children born to Mrs. Xu belong to me, my second uncle. 】

Qiao Chushan:......

what the hell.

Was it his brother who cuckolded him?

Just as Qiao Chushan was about to have a fit, he heard Qiao Niannian continue to complain.

[Unfortunately not, judging from their faces, the two of them are not related. 】

Qiao Chushan wiped away a cold sweat.

He was about to go berserk, but fortunately he heard the next words.

Daughter, can you speak without gasping? He almost didn't stop him just now.

Qiao Niannian didn't know this, she was still thinking about the next plot.

[According to what was written in the plot, Qiao Yueying arrived soon, wearing on her head the barbarian jewelry that her second uncle brought back from the border, a string of exotic silver necklaces, with a very large ruby ​​inlaid in the center. 】

[This is jewelry that the second uncle got from trading with the barbarians after selling out the food transportation route. Only the barbarian nobles would wear it. It also has the barbarian eagle totem on it. 】

[Because of this necklace, someone reported it to the emperor, which aroused the emperor's suspicion. Only then did he become convinced of the evidence that the eldest brother deliberately delayed the opportunity. 】

Qiao Niannian had just finished her sentence when Qiao Yueying's cheerful voice came from the door.

"Dad, I heard that my second uncle is back, is it true?"

While talking, Qiao Yueying had already walked in. The moment she saw Qiao Chufeng, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Second uncle, you are really back. This servant didn't lie to me."

Qiao Chufeng looked at Qiao Yueying, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "I came back in a hurry this time. I haven't seen her in ten years. Yueying has really become a big girl."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the necklace around Qiao Yueying's neck, and he nodded with satisfaction.

When he saw this jewelry, he thought it matched Qiao Yueying very well. Now it looks like it really looks good.
