"Qiao Yu has already set up a dragnet to target you. It is easy to step into this courtyard, but it may not be that easy to get out."
Steward He spoke seriously, Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Steward He, why do you want me to be safer when I listen to you?"
Butler He was stunned and speechless. In fact, in his heart, he really hoped and believed that Chen Qiu won.
He didn't like or agree with either Qiao Mo or Qiao Yu's work style. Moreover, the two brothers had differences. Now the Qiao family just needed a fire to ignite, and that torch was Chen Qiu.
But what Butler He didn't expect was that Chen Qiu would come so quickly.
"Don't worry!" Chen Qiu patted Butler He on the shoulder: "I will definitely live up to your expectations of me. In this way, you go and prepare some clothes for me from the Qiao family, and then prepare a sumptuous breakfast for me.
.”
Butler He was a little confused and asked without knowing why: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Qiu said impatiently: "Of course I'm going to meet my senior sister."
This frightened Butler He. He said in disbelief: "You, you want to pretend to be a member of the Qiao family to see your senior sister? You are crazy! I tell you, Qiao Yu said that anyone in the dungeon except him
No one is allowed to enter, not even Qiao Mo."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Chen Qiu said impatiently: "Do you still want to take your treasure out and enjoy your old age? If you want, just listen to me."
At this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. This moment made the two of them feel anxious. Especially Butler He, whose face turned pale with panic. If anyone found out that he was talking to Chen Qiu, he would be killed.
A hundred times is not enough for him!
"Housekeeper?" Someone asked outside the door, but did not push the door open. It seemed that he was a person of low rank and did not dare to come in directly.
This also made Butler He breathe a sigh of relief. He pretended to be calm and said: "What's wrong?"
"The second young master asked you to come over. I've been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you. Why are you here?"
"Why do I need to explain to you what I do? Tell the second young master that I will be there soon."
After ensuring that the people outside the door left, Butler He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Chen Qiu, your method is too risky. I don't agree with it. If you are caught, everyone will definitely know that it was me who gave the death penalty."
The clothes you gave me, I won’t be able to escape death by then.”
"Don't worry." Chen Qiu said seriously: "I won't betray you."
"This is not a question of whether you betray me or not, but now everyone in the Qiao family is under surveillance. If I go to get clothes, others will definitely see me."
"Do you want to take it or not?" Chen Qiu became impatient and said coldly: "Now, either do as I say or die. You choose one yourself."
"You!" Butler He was extremely aggrieved. He didn't expect Chen Qiu to be so irrational. He was helpless and could only say: "Okay, I will do as you said."
With no choice but to leave the room, Butler He took a set of Qiao family clothes for Chen Qiu and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast, which looked very rich.
The only thing he can do now is to pray that nothing bad happens to Chen Qiu, otherwise he will be finished too.
.......
Butler He came to Qiao Mo's room. At this moment, Qiao Mo was lying on the bed in a very embarrassed state.
Seeing Qiao Mo in such a miserable state, Butler He's heart ached and he felt very regretful.
He is still very affectionate towards Qiao Mo. After all, he has watched him grow up. Now, in order to live happily in his later years, he will not hesitate to betray the Qiao family and Su Waner's position to Chen Qiu.
"Xiao Mo." Butler He's eyes were haggard; "I heard someone said that you are looking for me."
Butler He had the urge to tell Qiao Mo that Chen Qiu had sneaked into Qiao's house.
Qiao Mo nodded and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is there no one so early in the morning? Why did you go?"
Butler He smiled bitterly and said: "I have nothing to do, so I just went to the guest room for a walk. The defense there is relatively loose. I went over to take a look. It's considered to be my meager contribution. By the way, you called me.
What's up?"
"Oh." Qiao Mo didn't think too much and asked, "It's no big deal. I just want you to tell me in the kitchen that today's meal should be lighter."
Butler He was stunned for a moment, and then gave a wry smile. The people in the Qiao family were used to ordering him around, and he had to arrange even such trivial things. Anyone in the Qiao family could do it.
"Okay, I'll tell you later." Butler He's eyes were hesitant, as if he was holding something back.
Qiao Mo noticed this emotion and frowned: "What's wrong? What's the matter with you?"
Butler He hesitated, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Qiao Mo was very displeased and said: "If you can't even organize the language well, let's talk about it next time."
"That's it." Butler He scratched his head and felt very ashamed: "Xiao Mo, you see, I am also sixty years old. Logically speaking, I have reached the age of retirement. I think..."
Butler He didn't finish his words, but Qiao Mo immediately understood. His face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "You want to leave the Qiao family?"
"That's it..." Butler He was very nervous. He could see Qiao Mo's anger, but he still insisted: "Recently, my energy and physical strength can't keep up. I often can't sleep, and I'm listless during the day.
I have dedicated half my life to the Qiao family, and I want to be lazy in my last time. I hope you can understand me."
"No!" Without any hesitation, Qiao Mo decisively refused: "If you leave, who will handle these trivial matters?"
These words were like the straw that broke the camel's back. Butler He was heartbroken. Originally, he was thinking that if Qiao Mo agreed, he would tell Qiao Mo that Chen Qiu had sneaked into Qiao's house, but who
Knowing that, Qiao Mo decisively refused.
Perhaps, Qiao Mo and others never regarded themselves as family members, but as slaves.
But yes, the tedious things in the Qiao family are all taken care of by themselves. To put it bluntly, they are all dirty and tiring work. Qiao Mo and others hardly have to worry about it. It is precisely because of the housekeeper that the Qiao family is as orderly as it is today.
"Okay, I understand." Butler He smiled bitterly, but he felt much relieved, and his guilt about treating Qiao Mo and others was relieved a lot.
He even vaguely expected that Chen Qiu would succeed so that he could be truly free.
"Okay." Qiao Mo waved his hand: "If there's nothing else, you can go out first, I want to rest for a while."
Butler He resigned and went outside. It was about half past nine in the morning.
A breeze blew by, blowing Butler He's white hair. He stared at everything in the Qiao family now, because he knew that before long, everything here would cease to exist.
The Qiao family that had ruled Jiangcheng for many years was about to fall.
This time, things are finally going to change in Jiangcheng! And he is finally going to be free.
