Chen Qingshan was right next to the door and opened the door directly.
There was a woman standing outside the door, and behind her stood a guard guarding Baguajing Alley.
The guard took the initiative to explain: "General, this woman said she is Qiao Xiangjun's mother."
Chen Qingshan nodded: "Yes, please let her in."
The guards left, and Yao Cuiliu looked into the courtyard.
It was still dark at this time, the snow had fallen in the capital, and the roofs were all white, but the ground in the courtyard was swept clean, the snow was piled at the foot of the trees and at the base of the walls, and the blue brick floor looked clean and tidy.
Big red lanterns are hung under the eaves, and even in the middle of winter, there are actually potted red plums and green trees in the yard.
The glazed windows were covered with red window grilles, and bursts of laughter came from inside the windows.
Yao Cuiliu stood at the door wearing old and new clothes, and was in a trance for a while: his daughter actually lived in such a good place?!
"Let's talk after we come in." Chen Qingshan's tone was very calm. Qiao Chu, who came out after hearing the sound, saw Yao Cuiliu and thought to herself: Sure enough, he is here.
Gu Pan said before leaving that he was going to use Yao Cuiliu to hold back a big move.
They planned to ask Yao Cuiliu to beat drums and complain on the first day of the new year when the courtiers went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, suing the Changping Marquis for abandoning his first wife and marrying a noble girl.
Although the investigation can be made clear in the end, Qiao Ancheng will be disliked by the emperor because of this, which will be a big blow to Qiao Ancheng's career.
Qiao Xiaofu made a lot of money every day in the capital, but refused to support his mother. This will also be a stain on Qiao Xiaofu's life.
If Qiao Xiaofu lives a mediocre life, it will be very difficult for him to marry a child of a wealthy family.
What's more, there are rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince has a soft spot for Qiao Xiaofu... If something like this happened, it would be impossible for Qiao Xiaofu to enter the palace!
Based on this possibility, as long as Yao Cuiliu comes to threaten, the Qiao family must make arrangements for Yao Cuiliu.
In order not to be discovered by King Xiang's people, Yao Cuiliu was well hidden before. All the information she learned came from the mouths of others and was not seen with her own eyes.
But who would have known that before the New Year, the Black Lotus Palace's stronghold in the capital would be taken away...
Gu Pan, the palace master, gave up and simply ordered Yao Cuiliu to be released.
After hearing Gu Pan's statement, Qiao Chu was shocked and speculated that Yao Cuiliu would come to her door sooner or later.
No, it really came.
"I...I won't go in." Yao Cuiliu took a step back, as if he was a little afraid of Qiao Chu and the others.
Qiao Chu frowned, stepped forward, tapped Yao Cuiliu's acupoint, and dragged her in.
Chen Qingshan closed the door.
In the study room in the backyard, Qiao Chu pressed Yao Cuiliu into the chair opposite him and sat down. He grabbed a bench and sat opposite Yao Cuiliu.
"I ask and you answer, all you have to do is nod or shake your head. If you want to cause trouble, I will have you thrown into the mountains. Do you understand?" Qiao Chu asked softly.
Yao Cuiliu nodded awkwardly, with fear in his eyes.
Qiao Chu just dodged the movement in front of her and calmed her down.
"Do you know that all the people who helped you come to the capital have been killed by the imperial court?"
Yao Cuiliu nodded, then shook her head: since the person responsible for her suddenly disappeared two days ago, and no one sent her food, she knew something was wrong with those people, but she didn't know that they were all killed.
"Did you know that Xiaofu is one of the owners of Tianxiangfang in the capital? And he is also the head of the Changping Marquis Mansion?"
Yao Cuiliu nodded.
"You came here this time to let Xiaofu support you?"
Yao Cuiliu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Do you want my elder brother to relocate you?"
Yao Cuiliu hesitated again, nodded, and shook his head: not only did he want Qiao Ancheng to relocate her, but he also wanted Qiao Ancheng to announce that she was his first wife, the biological mother of their three children, and that she would be the crown prince's wife.
"Did you know that my eldest brother's new wife is pregnant?"
Yao Cuiliu nodded, with aggrieved eyes.
Do you still feel wronged?!
As long as you still have some affection for your eldest brother as a couple and can keep it for a year and a half, you won't be where you are now!
Isn’t this because he committed suicide by himself?!
"Brother was originally going to pick you up. I told him that you had left your children and secretly went to work as a concubine for someone else. You also took away all the money before leaving. Brother has given up on you." Qiao Chu's words were like
The knife was inserted into Yao Cuiliu's heart.
Yao Cuiliu shook his head wildly, his already messy bun looking even more embarrassed.
"My eldest brother already remembered when he left the capital. Even though he knew his identity as the heir to the Hou family, he was willing to marry you, have a deep love with you, have children, and take good care of you in every possible way. Do you know?"
"You have three wonderful children, did you know that?"
"Your eldest daughter is only in her teens this year. She has opened Tianxiangfang in this capital city that is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den by relying on her own ability. She is making a lot of money every day. Do you know why she is so desperate?"
"Because her mother ran away and no longer wanted her, and her father got married again. Although the stepmother was also very kind to her, she still felt that her own mother would not want them, so how could she depend on her stepmother for the rest of her life?"
"Although I told her repeatedly that my aunt will take care of you and will always be there as long as you need her. But she still wants to rely on herself."
"She felt that she was the only one in the world who could protect the three siblings, so she worked hard to earn money."
"Your son and little daughter are very well-behaved. They take care of themselves every day, eat, dress, read and read. They take good care of themselves and don't need others to worry about anything. Do you know why this is?"
"Because they know that they are children without a mother. They worry that if they are too naughty, others will dislike them and dislike them..."
"I learned that Yao Gang died and you had nowhere to go, so I told Xiaofu. Xiaofu returned to the village and wanted to take you over, but he was afraid that you only valued money and did not care about the three sisters, so he said she was willing to do things
To support you, as long as you take care of the two little ones... But you refused, and you still have to remarry. Do you know how long Xiaofu cried that night?"
"They live cautiously and work extremely hard in this capital... Now, you are here. In order to make your life more carefree, you want to destroy the peaceful and happy days that your children have, and you want to stab them in their hearts again.
Do you want them to be able to hold their heads high with a single knife attack?"
"Are you worthy of being their mother?" Qiao Chu untied Yao Cuiliu's acupuncture point with a wave of his hand, shot it with a burst of spiritual power, and opened the closed door.
There were three children standing in a row outside the door.
The two girls were wearing red brocade quilted jackets, and the son was wearing a dark blue brocade quilted robe. They were standing at the door, with tears in their eyes.
The two younger ones saw their mother for the first time in two years, and they both pursed their lips. The youngest, Sanshou, couldn't hold it back and started wailing "Wow...".
Qiao Xiaofu silently knelt down and held his little sister in his arms. While patting her back familiarly, he softly comforted her: "Good boy, Xiao Shou, you still have a sister, and she won't leave you alone..."
Qiao Erlu's two small hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his mouth was tightly pursed, stubbornly refusing to cry.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Yao Cuiliu finally couldn't help it, covered her face and started crying.
