Chapter 36 The truth back then

Aunt Xu tried her best to resist, but in the end it was all in vain. She closed her eyes and recounted what happened that year.

"I was born in poverty. My father was a gambler. He sold me to a brothel when he couldn't pay off his gambling debts. I was unwilling to fall into prostitution and found a way to escape. It was my master who saved me."

"I was grateful to the master and decided to stay with him. The master cultivated me with all his heart, and later sent me to be a maid in the Marquis' Mansion. In the past two years, the master has not appeared."

"When he appeared again, he asked me to seduce Qiao Chushan. I was very unhappy. After all, the person I like is the master."

"It's just that Qiao Chushan is related to the master's great cause. For the sake of the master, I can only seduce him."

"However, I tried to seduce him in every possible way, but he just wasn't fooled. He only had eyes for Huo. Later, I took advantage of the third young master's full moon and put medicine in his wine, making him misunderstand that we had a relationship."

"Later, I became the aunt in the house. Since then, the master has never appeared. He only sent a message asking me to raise the two children."

"I waited for ten years. When the master appeared again, he gave me a box and asked me to put it on the beam of Huo's house. I knew what was in it, so I put it in Huo's room according to the master's instructions. On the rafters.”

"I don't know how that bitch Huo discovered the box, but actually changed the contents of the box in advance to avoid execution."

Mentioning this matter, the hatred in Aunt Xu's eyes was so thick that it almost turned into reality.

"What about Qiao Yueying and Qiao Chaosheng?"

"Yueying and Chaosheng are the children of my master and me. I have always admired my master, how could I seduce Qiao Chushan." Aunt Xu smiled sarcastically.

There was a hint of pride in the smile.

After all, she had played tricks on that man for so many years.

Seeing that man quarreling with her master's child every day, I don't know how happy I feel.

"You look very proud." Qiao Niannian looked at Aunt Xu with a half-smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Aunt Xu snorted coldly: "So what, what can you do to me? Everyone in the house has been tricked by me."

"I thought you were a fool too, but I was wrong."

Aunt Xu has revealed all her secrets, and there is nothing left to disguise in front of Qiao Niannian.

She thought she had thoroughly investigated everyone in the house and had never made any mistakes in so many years, but in the end she fell into trouble with Qiao Niannian.

But don't be afraid, as long as the master comes, she has plenty of ways to turn around.

"What exactly does your master want to do?"

Speaking of her master, Aunt Xu's expression showed admiration. She glanced at Qiao Niannian with disdain.

"I don't know about the master, but I know that the master is someone who does big things. You guys are just his pawns."

Qiao Niannian asked around, but the only useful information was the life experiences of Qiao Yueying and Qiao Chaosheng. As for who this master was and what he wanted to do, Aunt Xu didn't know.

She looked at Aunt Xu's proud face and chuckled.

"You seemed very proud just now. Your master must be coming to see you!"

"After all, the mission he gave you failed, so he will naturally come to ask about the situation."

"That's good, I'll give you a big gift, you're welcome."

Qiao Niannian took out a lie charm from her body.

To be honest, this is her first time using it!

Specially prepared for Aunt Xu.

The Lie Talisman flew out, landed on Aunt Xu and disappeared.

Aunt Xu looked horrified.

Something can happen to her, but nothing can happen to her master. Since Qiao Niannian knows that his master will come, she will definitely find a way to deal with him.

No.

She wanted to prevent her master from coming, and she wanted to find a way to send a message to him.

Qiao Niannian left Aunt Xu's place, returned to her yard, and began to make a breast shield.

She drew two charms on the breast mirror, a rebound charm and an amulet.

With these two charms, the eldest brother should be safe and sound.

Qiao Niannian was just thinking about who should be sent to deliver the bronze heart-protecting mirror to her eldest brother, when she heard from the maid that her second uncle was here.

She was a little surprised. According to the plot in the book, the second uncle should have left yesterday, so why hasn’t he left yet?

"Where's Daddy?"

"The master has not been back for several days. It seems that he has entered the palace."

Hearing this, Qiao Niannian was a little curious and simply took the maid to the front hall.

Before I even got close, I heard the conversation inside.

Huo told Qiao Chufeng: "Second brother, your eldest brother has gone to attend to official duties and hasn't come back yet."

Qiao Chufeng frowned and became a little dissatisfied with Huo's attitude: "Sister-in-law, you said the same thing when I came last night."

Today is the fourth day.

Qiao Chufeng really couldn't wait any longer.

"Sister-in-law, when I came to the capital, the soldiers only had enough food for five days. It's already been four days today. I'm afraid Chuanbai and the others will have no food."

"I don't know how Chuan Bai and the others are doing now!"

Qiao Niannian was speechless when she heard Qiao Chufeng's words.

[You still have the nerve to talk about eldest brother. Why didn’t you feel guilty when you killed my eldest brother? A cat cries over a mouse. 】

Huo's confused heart suddenly sobered up.

My daughter is right.

Qiao Chufeng was not merciless when she killed her son, nor felt guilty when she sold grain to the barbarians.

Now he is pretending to be in front of her.

Since you like to pretend so much, let me pretend as much as you can.

Huo's face showed concern: "Second brother, Chuan Bai and the others are so anxious for food, why don't you go to the palace and beg the emperor to raise food for you quickly."

Qiao Chufeng choked.

He came to the Hou Mansion without entering the palace.

Qiao Chufeng spoke patiently.

"Sister-in-law, the emperor did not summon me when I entered the palace. This matter requires my eldest brother to come forward."

"It concerns Chuan Bai's safety and cannot be delayed any longer."

Hearing this, Huo immediately called the guards: "Hurry and get the Marquis back."

After saying that, Huo stood up and said, "Second brother, I have something to do here, so I'll go and do it first."

Qiao Chufeng stood up quickly: "Sister-in-law, just go and do your own thing."

When Qiao Niannian saw Huo leaving, she quickly took the maid away.

[It’s so strange, something is wrong with how things develop! 】

Being far away, Huo's hearing was blurry, but he also understood what Qiao Niannian meant.

She also felt strange that what on earth Qiao Chushan was busy with, why he didn't come back for several days in a row.

However, no matter what Qiao Chushan was busy with, she could not let Qiao Chufeng take away this food.

She had to find a way to stop this.

After much thought, Huo decided to write a letter to her parents' family.

Huo's natal family comes from a family of generals. Her father is a hussar general, her eldest brother is a major general, and her second brother is a forward.

Coming from a family of generals, Qiao Chuanbai fell in love with the military camp because he followed his eldest brother in the military camp since he was a child. At only nineteen years old, he was already able to lead troops to fight alone, and twice defeated the barbarians and fled.

Her father praised Chuan Bai more than once in front of her as a natural general, better than his two uncles.

If the father knew that his most cherished grandson would be killed by a villain in the future, he would be very sad!

Huo hurriedly wrote a letter and gave it to Haitang.

"Give it to General Huo personally and come back when you get a reply."
