Qiao Yurong was still young after all, and she had not been interested in such things in the past. The things she knew were just accidental.
But this matter is now like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and it may fall down at some point.
Those who will be chopped off will be the heads of the whole family.
So Qiao Yuyan went directly to Ninghetang early the next morning.
I originally thought that after all there were so many things yesterday, the old lady was old and probably wouldn't get up early today. Who knew that when she came, the old lady was already having breakfast.
She just doesn't seem to have a good appetite, and Aunt Zhao is trying to persuade her to use more.
The old lady glanced at Qiao Yuyan who came in and said, "Coming here so early in the morning, you two, father and daughter, have a good understanding."
Only then did Qiao Yuyan know that her father had also come early in the morning. When she walked in, she found that he was sitting in the old lady's small Buddhist hall, reading Buddhist scriptures.
This is very different from his usual appearance.
The old lady simply put down the bowls and chopsticks, held Qiao Yuyan's hand and walked in.
"Mom, what happened yesterday... in my son's opinion, it should not be made public." Qiao Weisheng directly expressed his views without shying away from his daughter's presence.
The old lady had no objection to this, and the smile she had just faded away, "No one expected that my so-called niece would be involved in such a serious matter."
"Fortunately, there were not many people in the room last night, and everyone trusted them. Even if those outside heard some noise, they didn't know what happened." Qiao Yuyan thought for a while, then continued, "It's better
Let's tell the public that the third sister caused trouble for the whole family, but nothing was found. Grandma was angry and felt uncomfortable, so she asked Aunt Pei to take care of her in Ninghe Hall."
"Are you afraid that there is someone else..." Qiao Weisheng understood what his daughter meant almost immediately.
"We don't know how powerful the power behind Aunt Pei is after she has been lurking in our family for so many years, and there must be someone in the power behind her who has contacted her.
If we find that she is dead, we don’t know what will happen. Now that we are in the open and the other party is in the dark, the changes at this time are really unfavorable to us. We might as well seize the time and clear up everything related to our family.
Clean it up."
"If you don't come today, I will send someone to call you." The old lady sighed, looking a little tired, "Our family has never allowed concubines. Over the years, the population has been simple, and even the people below are better than other families.
Much less.
Perhaps it is for this reason that whether it is in my hands or in the hands of your wife, it is relatively stable, and basically there is no trouble.
But who would have thought that the current chaos would become like this! Sister Yan, please work hard and find out all the information you can find over the past many years, starting from the year when the late prince's incident happened. In this family,
I want to clean it up!"
At the end of the sentence, the old lady's voice had a bit of harshness that Qiao Yuyan had never seen before.
Qiao Weisheng said: "Sister Yan can't do it alone at this time. I'll call Manager Wu to come with me. She's an old man for many years and is loyal and reliable. She should be able to help a lot."
The old lady nodded in approval, and Qiao Weisheng glanced at Qiao Yuyan.
Qiao Yuyan knew that she had something important to say, so she stood up quickly, but was stopped by the old lady, "There's no need to be shy, Sister Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Qiao Weisheng no longer had any scruples, "I just want to talk about the Wen family's affairs."
Qiao Yuyan pursed her lips and said, "Daddy, you want to talk about my marriage, right?"
Seeing her father's slight surprise, she smiled and said, "Our family has not had contact with the Wen family for many years, but just this year, they suddenly became friendly.
The current status of the two families in the women's restroom should not be the result of them rushing to curry favor with us. However, the Wen family acted so eagerly. It was not as if they had fallen in love with our girl and wanted to get married, but rather as if they wanted to tie us up.
Together.
Judging from what Aunt Pei said last night, I am afraid that this marriage had other plans."
Obviously the old lady and Qiao Weisheng had both thought of this, and their expressions did not change much after hearing her say this.
The old lady looked at her with inquiring eyes, "Then what do you think now?"
"Our family cannot afford to get involved in such things. I really don't know what the Wen family's intentions are. I want to break off the engagement."
Qiao Yuyan's words really shocked the two of them. The old lady frowned and looked at her, "Is this the result of your careful consideration?"
Qiao An nodded seriously, "Even though breaking the engagement has a big impact on me, I can't accept it if the fate of the whole family is involved."
Qiao Weisheng glanced at her twice, then looked away, as if he was seriously thinking about Qiao Yuyan's words.
But the old lady said: "Then how do you tell Wen Tingyuan? He has helped a lot with this matter. Is it just for the engagement with you that he worked so hard?"
Of course not!
Qiao Yuyan silently replied in her heart that to her, he was not a symbol like Wen Tingyuan, that was her Uncle Wen.
But there was no way to explain this to the old lady.
According to Qiao Yuyan's idea, this is actually an opportunity to correct her and Wen Tingyuan's originally wrong destiny. Maybe there is still a chance to finish the half of the cloud shoulder.
Therefore, when facing the old lady, she looked calm, "Master Wen Liu is a man of justice. This marriage was originally out of his compassion. Now because of this relationship, he is naturally dedicated."
In response to her remarks, the old lady was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled with an unknown meaning, "Actually, what I mean is that we should just have an interview with the Wen family."
Qiao Weisheng was puzzled, "Mother said, tell them about this?"
"Yes!" The old lady nodded, "I know you have always thought that Wen Qiongyu is tactful, easy to maneuver, and has a temper that doesn't agree with yours, but I believe in the character of your father and the old Mr. Wen."
She moved her gaze away from the faces of the father and daughter, falling into the unknown void, and said in a sighing tone: "If something like that really happened back then, I believe that your father and Mr. Wen must be of the same mind.
If they are of the same mind, no matter whether there is such an object or not, no matter what the object is, then there is a high probability that we and the Wen family are just grasshoppers on the same rope."
Qiao Weisheng was actually wary of the Wen family, especially when he looked back and thought about his marriage proposal.
But what my mother said made sense, and there was another more important thing, which was Wen Tingyuan.
Wen Tingyuan was present yesterday, and he knew exactly what happened. Even though he had a bad relationship with the Wen family, the blood of the Wen family was always flowing in his body, otherwise Mrs. Wen would not have recognized her relationship with Qiao Yuyan.
This marriage.
After much thought, my mother's idea was the safest.
Qiao Weisheng immediately went to contact him, but Qiao Yuyan was left behind by the old lady.
