Chapter 213: It is related to Miss Qiao's reputation
Qiao Yuning was still unwilling to give in, so she deliberately said that she missed her parents and finally didn't have to get up early tomorrow, hoping to stay with them longer.
Qiao Weisheng didn't say anything, just read a book aside, while Xu and Qiao Yuning sat and chatted.
Ms. Xu was really happy, but she was still worried about her daughter after all.
Qiao Yuning looked for a chance for a long time but failed to change the topic. It seemed that Xu didn't know what was going on at all.
She thought for a while and then asked Qiao Weisheng, "Dad still smells like wine. He drank a lot at noon, right? Who did he drink with? Are you in such a high mood?"
Qiao Weisheng's eyes moved from the book to her face, with a strange expression on her face, "What's wrong with a long-time friend?"
For some reason, Qiao Yuning always felt that her father's look was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She could only forcefully twitch her lips and say with a smile: "It's just a casual question. Drinking alcohol is harmful to the body.
So I want to advise my father to take care of himself."
Mrs. Xu then glared at her husband, "My daughter really feels sorry for you! You still have such an attitude, don't scare the child."
Qiao Weisheng didn't answer, his eyes lingered on Qiao Yuning's face for two breaths before he said: "It's getting late, and it's time for your mother to rest. You go back!"
Qiao Yuning didn't ask anything until now, and she felt a little impatient, so she bowed out and left.
When he walked out of the courtyard, he could not help but have a nervous look on his face.
Chenxing looked at her quietly and said hesitantly: "It seems that the master... doesn't want to talk about today's matters. As for the wife..."
"She doesn't know anything, that idiot!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a smiling voice came from behind the rockery, "Who is this, still wandering outside at this late hour?"
But it was Qixi who came over holding a lantern and supporting Qiao Yuyan.
Seeing that it was her, the smile on Qiao Yuyan's face became friendly, "I thought it was some girl in the house who didn't understand the rules and was running around at night! It turned out to be the second sister. Why did the second sister come back so late?"
The smile on her face was so natural, there was no hint of any displeasure at all.
Therefore, it can be concluded that for Qiao Yuyan, nothing happened at all today.
What is going on? How could this happen?
Qiao Yuning felt a little panicked and her brows furrowed.
Qiao Yuyan seemed to notice something strange about her, "What's wrong with the second sister? She looks depressed?"
After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember, "How could it be? If I remember correctly, the punishment for my sister's mistake will end today. From tomorrow on, she no longer has to go to Yuehua Temple. This is a good thing.
How could my sister be unhappy? It seems that I am overthinking it."
"There is a saying that people feel refreshed when happy events happen. When it comes to happy events, the eldest sister is the one who should be the happiest, right? I just picked up a man of my dreams, with a good family background, good looks, good character, and talent.
My sister’s life is really good.”
Qiao Yuning's words seemed to suit Qiao Yuyan's taste. The smile on her face became a little deeper, but she still acted a bit shy, which made Qiao Yuning feel very uncomfortable.
She then smiled again and said: "But as a younger sister, I still want to remind my sister. As the saying goes, when the water is full, it will overflow. As my sister is so proud now, it's better to be more careful. I don't know when the water will come out.
It just overflowed.”
This was obviously a curse, but Qiao Yuyan didn't take it seriously at all, "My sister is really well-informed, and my sister is not as good as her. However, my sister knows a very simple truth.
When the water is full, if you don't touch it, it will naturally remain calm. But if the half-filled bucket of water is sloshed around, the bucket will break and the water will spill.
For a kind-hearted person like the second sister, why not take care of those people who are half full of water! I can still take care of myself!"
Qiao Yuning didn't know if she was feeling it, but she always felt that there was something in Qiao Yuyan's words. She quickly asked, "Who are you talking about, sister?"
Qiao Yuyan shook her head innocently, "How do I know this? My sister has the heart to save the world, so she can naturally find those who need her guidance. Sister, I can't do it. I can only take care of my own three-quarters of land. For
I never worry about other people's affairs."
At this point, Qiao Yuning felt that she had said these pointed words on purpose, just to make her unhappy.
"Sister is really proud now. I'm afraid she doesn't want to talk to me at all! It's just me being sentimental. Since my sister has something else to do, I don't dare to delay, so I'm going back."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Qiao Yuyan, and walked past her with Chenxing.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuyan, who was left behind, sighed faintly again, "The moonlight is quite good today. Let's feel happy. Let's just enjoy the moon here for a while! Those who can't see the sun can't see such a beautiful night.
.”
It was obviously an irrelevant sentence, but Qiao Yuning felt very anxious in her heart when she heard it.
It was really unusual. It was clear that what he had expected in his heart had happened, and it was clear that his father was going to the Wen family.
But suddenly there was no sound, as if the day had been cut off.
wrong!
Qiao Yuning shook her head, no, it wasn't cut off, Wen Liang!
She has not received any news from Wen Liang until now.
In fact, the two of them had their own contact information before. There were two women at the back door who were bribed by her. Wen Liang also arranged for a servant to be responsible for sending messages to the two of them.
In addition, Wen Liang also had a personal shop. He would often write letters about things he wanted to tell Qiao Yuning and leave them in the shop for Qiao Yuning to arrange for Morning Star to pick them up.
If you are in a hurry, the guys over there will specially deliver it to your door.
But not today, no news came from anywhere.
Where is Wen Liang? Is he still in the Wen family? Did he say it? If so, what happened?
Qiao Yuning was a little confused, restless, and tossed and turned in bed unable to fall asleep.
But in fact, Wen Liang, whom she missed, was still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Wen Qiongyu said that the family method was to be tortured literally, with a two-inch-thick board being hit on the body, a total of thirty boards, without any means of letting go.
After the beating, he was completely unconscious. However, according to the rules of the Wen family, if he made a big mistake, even if he made a big mistake, he would have to kneel in the ancestral hall all night after being punished.
How could he kneel down here? He just spent the night lying in the ancestral hall.
Fortunately, Wen Qiongyu didn't really want to force his son to death. It was impossible for him not to know that Mrs. Wen had leaked fluid and asked the imperial doctor to come to the ancestral hall to treat it. He just turned a blind eye.
Mrs. Wen watched the imperial doctor treating him beside her and wept silently. She waited until the imperial doctor left and dismissed everyone around her before she spoke to her son.
