Qiao Xin covered her face in disbelief, "Dad, after you hit me last time, you said that no matter what happened, you would never hit me again. Have you forgotten what you said?"
Lu Hua was really going to be pissed off by Qiao Xin.
"I said I won't hit you again, but that's based on the premise that you will never mention that boy from the Gu family again! Do you still have the nerve to question me?"
"Then I want to ask you, how did you promise me in the first place? Are you saying that you no longer have any nostalgia for that boy from the Gu family? You no longer have any feelings for him?"
"Then why do you sleep with him again? What you say is that you want to make me angry to death!"
Lu Hua was really angry. He slapped the handle of the chair hard while talking.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, I'm afraid this chair would have been pulverized by him.
Qiao Xin was frightened by Lu Hua's attitude, but fortunately she could imagine such a scene.
So she calmed down and said bravely: "Dad, since things have developed to this point, what's the use of being angry?"
"Don't be angry. Being angry will hurt your health. It's better to face the reality and think about what to do."
"What should I do?" Lu Hua laughed angrily, "Okay, then I'd like to hear what you think should be done?"
Qiao Xin didn't hear Lu Hua's weirdness and thought Lu Hua really wanted to hear what she planned to do.
So she said: "Dad, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. At present, various forces are on the rise. If you and Commander Gu continue to have bad relations, it will only allow others to take advantage of it."
"You might as well join forces together and add up your forces so that others can't attack us."
"Moreover, the power of both our families can be consolidated and we can continue to rule this area. This is a sure-win thing, are you right?"
This is what Qiao thought about all night.
She felt that if she said this, Lu Hua would definitely think that what she said was reasonable, and then he would carefully consider the relationship between her and Gu Yaotian.
Maybe he will happily marry her off.
But what surprised Qiao Xin was that Lu Hua just sneered and called his servants over.
"The eldest lady is sick, has a fever, and has burned her brain! Someone, take the eldest lady back to her yard. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"
"If anything goes wrong again this time, then I will kill anyone who failed to guard the young lady on the spot, do you hear me?!"
The servants were trembling, lying on the ground and saying they understood.
Qiao Xin shook her head wildly, "No, no! Dad, don't you think what I just said makes sense? Don't you want to continue to be a ruler safely?"
"Why do you want to put me under house arrest again? I don't want to be in the house, I need freedom, I need to breathe fresh air, I am an adult, I should not be controlled like this by you!"
Lu Hua: "It is precisely because you are an adult and have repeatedly done things that should not be done by adults that I treat you like this. If you really knew what was good and what was wrong, I would not be able to lock you up every now and then."
"
Lu Hua glared at the servants, "Why are you still standing there? Take the eldest lady back quickly!"
"I don't want to go back, I won't go back!" Qiao Xin didn't let her servants get close to her, and would bite anyone who came close to her.
And the bite is so harsh that it will bleed as soon as you bite it.
There was a lot of commotion in the meeting hall, and even Yushu knew about it.
"The eldest lady is here!" a servant outside announced loudly.
Originally, Lu Hua and Qiao Xin were talking about something, and no one else should come in.
But Yushu is the woman that Lu Hua has been particularly fond of recently, and she has also squeezed out the original eldest wife and become the current eldest wife. With such a status, no servant in the entire house dares to stop her.
The weight of Yushu in the hearts of the servants now is even greater than when Qiao Xin first came back.
Yushu spoke softly, walked over and squeezed Lu Hua's shoulders. He was very gentle and knew how to handle things.
The key thing is that Lu Hua does not reject physical contact with her at all.
She squeezed Lu Hua's shoulder, and Lu Hua's hand moved up, not caring that there were Qiao Xin and his servants beside her.
The posture of the two people is very intimate at first glance.
This is an attitude that Lu Hua has never had towards other concubines.
When the servants present saw this, they immediately understood in their minds, and they secretly decided in their hearts that they must respect the eldest lady more in the future.
Yushu squeezed Lu Hua's shoulders and said, "Master, why are you so angry? I heard your voice outside. Don't shout all the time, it's not good for your throat. Don't be angry, it's bad for your body."
not good."
"If you have anything to say, tell me slowly. What's more, you are talking to the eldest lady. The eldest lady is your daughter. Is there anything you can't discuss with her?"
When Lu Hua listened to Yushu speak, there was a smile on his lips.
After hearing what she said, his anger seemed to have dissipated, and he became more patient with Qiao Xin.
"Okay, for your sake, I'll give her another chance." Lu Hua looked at Qiao Xin, "Think about it again, how do you want to deal with the relationship between you and Gu Yaotian?"
Hearing his tone, Qiao Xin knew that he wanted her to break off from Gu Yaotian and become strangers from now on.
But she doesn't want to!
"Dad, why do you have to put the grudges of the previous generation on me and Yaotian? We two are innocent!"
"We just fell in love with each other and wanted to be with each other. What's wrong with us? Why do you just want to break us up?!"
When Lu Hua heard this, his eyes widened and he was about to get angry again. Yushu quickly sat in his arms, interrupting his anger.
"I'm sorry, sir, my foot slipped for a moment, that's why... I'm embarrassed in front of everyone, I'd better get up quickly..."
Yushu wanted to get up, but was held down by Lu Hua.
"It's okay. This is at home, and there are no outsiders. Is your foot okay? Just sit like this for now, and I'll have someone call the doctor for you."
Lu Hua ordered his servants to find the doctor.
But in fact, he knew very well that Yushu's feet were definitely fine. He just wanted to use this opportunity to let Yushu sit on his lap and arms openly.
Qiao Xin was really furious when she saw this scene.
"You vixen, it's okay to do this in the room, but now in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, you are so dissolute!"
"Who are you showing it to? You think you are happy when dad scolds me, right? You just want dad to love you in front of me, right? You are so shameless!"
Qiao Xin was so angry not only because of seeing this scene, but also because of Lu Hua's attitude towards her and Gu Yaotian.
She couldn't get angry at Lu Hua, so she could only pick the "soft persimmon" Yushu.
But she didn't know that Yushu was not the soft persimmon she thought she was.
When Yushu was pointed at and scolded by Qiao Xin, tears suddenly accumulated in her eyes.
She deliberately turned away to attract Lu Hua to look at her and ask her what was wrong.
But she still had to pretend to be nonchalant, and even had to speak for Qiao Xin.
Lu Hua was already angry because of Qiao Xin's words, and when he saw Yushu crying because of Qiao Xin's insults, he couldn't stop his anger.
He picked up Yushu and put it on the chair. Then he came to Qiao Xin and slapped her hard again!
Qiao Xin's face was thrown aside, and Lu Hua asked: "Do you know you are wrong? Apologize to the eldest lady!"
Qiao Xin turned her head stubbornly, "I'm right!"
Lu Hua slapped him again and raised his voice, "Do you know you are wrong?!"
A little blood had been drawn from the corner of Qiao Xin's mouth, but she still did not admit her mistake.
After Lu Hua slapped her twice more, Qiao Xin's cheeks turned red and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth. Seeing this, Yushu felt that she was about to recover and quickly ran up to stop Lu Hua with tears in her eyes.
She knelt beside Qiao Xin and cried: "Master, please don't hit the eldest lady because of me again! It's all my fault, everything is my fault!"
Yushu is different from Qianyin. Qianyin said nothing after being bullied by Qiao Xin and tried to minimize contact with Lu Hua.
Although this would also gain Lu Hua's sympathy and guilt, the effect was far less powerful than the tea-like smell in tea like Yushu's.
Not to mention that last night, Yushu tried his best to serve Lu Hua.
And Yushu also has this face as an overlay effect.
At this moment, nothing and no one can compare with the weight and status of the tearful Yushu in Lu Hua's heart.
Lu Hua helped Yushu up distressedly and glanced at Qiao Xin again.
Suddenly a good idea occurred to him.
"Qiao Xin, you haven't had your own mother by your side since you were a child, so it's normal for you to have such a personality. It's not your fault."
"But now that you have recognized your ancestors and returned to me, no matter how old you are, you need someone to teach you well."
"I have a lot of things to do every day, and I don't have the time or energy to discipline you. In this case, from today on, you are the eldest lady's daughter. The eldest lady will teach you the rules and teach you how to be the eldest lady of my Lu family!
"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Qiao Xin freeze on the spot.
She couldn't believe her ears.
"What did you say? Let Yushu be my mother?" Qiao Xin smiled.
"She is the most suitable. Okay, that's it, you go back first, and after I discuss it with the eldest lady, the eldest lady will take full charge of you."
Lu Hua waved his hand, and the servants did not dare to delay any longer, and dragged Qiao Xin away at the risk of Qiao Xin biting her arm.
Yushu did not expect that there would be an unexpected harvest.
Although she doesn't want to care about Qiao Xin, she sees Qiao Xin's character and won't cooperate with her, so she can just put the blame entirely on Qiao Xin.
So she approached Lu Hua and asked worriedly: "Master, is this inappropriate? I will teach the eldest lady? I don't think I have the qualifications. The eldest lady is your daughter who loves women deeply, and I don't dare to teach you."
Lu Hua smiled and patted the back of Yushu's hand, "You do, you are the only one in the whole family who has this qualification. It's okay, don't be afraid, just treat her as your biological daughter. She should be beaten and scolded when she should be."
"You and her mother look almost identical. You are her mother..."
…
Qiao Xin was placed under house arrest again. After Yushu got the chance, he told Qin San everything that had happened.
Xu Xian came to Shanghai to drink at night, and Qin San met him and talked about these things.
Xu Xian said: "It's good. As far as I know, Qiao Xin has been looking for trouble with Qianyin. She was completely put under house arrest, which is also a good thing for Qianyin. Let Yushu take a good look at Qiao Xin and give Qianyin more.
If Xin is looking for trouble, tell Qiao Xin not to come out at home."
Qin San nodded.
If he thought Qiao Xin was a good prospect at the beginning, then now, his only attitude toward Qiao Xin is to shake his head.
He originally thought that Qiao Xin, who suddenly became Lu Hua's daughter, would surely enjoy endless glory and wealth in her life.
But who would have thought that Qiao Xin was so clueless.
There are so many men in the world, why is she so affectionate towards Gu Yaotian?
With her status, even if she changes to another man, she can play with him until she doesn't want to play anymore.
But she just wanted to hang herself on Gu Yaotian's tree.
The key is that Qin San knows very well that the woman Gu Yaotian likes is not Qiao Xin, but Qianyin.
Therefore, Qin San also looked down on Gu Yaotian.
You obviously like Qianyin, why did you sleep with Qiao Xin?
They were so entangled that they were not even worthy of being regarded as his and Xu Xian's love rivals.
Qin San was distracted thinking about these things, while Xu Xianze arranged the next things.
"After Yushu's position is more stable for a few more months, she can make demands on Lu Hua. Remember, you can't attack Qianyin first, as this would be too purposeful. Start with the concubine, who has a relatively flamboyant personality.
"
Qin San nodded.
Yushu is a big chess game they are playing, and their ultimate goal is to let Lu Hua divorce Qianyin and let Qianyin regain her freedom.
"Boss Xu, what's going on at Zongxing?" Qin San asked.
Just letting Lu Hua divorce Qian Yin is not enough insurance, they have a combo.
After Qianyin regained her freedom, Zong Xing gained Lu Hua's love and trust, and then killed Lu Hua, or he would be worse than dead, and could no longer control his army.
In this way, Zong Xing naturally rose to the top.
Then no one will come to covet Qianyin and want to take Qianyin away.
Xu Xian took a drag on his cigarette and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I told him my thoughts, and he was very silent at the time. But he came very early the next day, and even if I increased the amount of training for him during training,
He didn't say a word either."
"Zong Xing is indeed a good boy, and he is willing to endure hardship. I believe that as long as we give him a few more months, he will be able to achieve our expectations of him."
"When the time comes, with our relationship, he will be able to make waves on the battlefield. Haven't the Lu family always been evenly matched with the Gu family?"
"When Zong Xing comes to power, I guess that old guy from the Gu family won't be able to defeat him. Gu Yaotian is useless again, and there is no hope for the Gu family to rise."
While they were talking, Qianyin, who had taken off her makeup and put on her own clothes, came over and sat down.
The waiter asked her what she wanted to drink, and she said a glass of boiled water.
Then he asked with a smile: "Third Master, Master Xu, what are you talking about, are you chatting so happily?"
