Chapter 266 The Qiao Family Showdown!
Time is like water, and so are people...
Gu Jingzhi was like a fish in water, feeling very uncomfortable. They didn't stop until dawn.
Qiao Shuwan looked at the messy study and scolded, "You heartless little thing, you've been hiding from me these days, and now you're like a hungry wolf that can't be fed! I don't believe you're a hypocrite!"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi was slightly embarrassed.
To be honest, last time, it was because you drugged me, right? Who knows what you're thinking?
We can't just come up to you and ask if you want to make another appointment, right?
But at this moment, he couldn't say that. Instead, he asked, "You won't be going tonight. He won't know, right?"
"Humph!"
Qiao Shuwan snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he's in that vixen's bed right now!"
"Uh……"
Gu Jingzhi looked at the two of them, and it seemed that they were not in any better condition either!
Qiao Shuwan was a sensible person. She sighed softly, looked at Gu Jingzhi with some resentment, and said, "Now I am the same as him. No one can say anything to anyone else!"
Gu Jingzhi was silent.
Sleeping with the future boss lady, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. The feeling is hard to describe to outsiders, but...
This woman from the royal family is not so easy to touch!
Even though Qiao Shuwan was shouting about revenge on the prince, what was she really doing? She was just afraid that Gu Jingzhi would abandon her and her husband.
After all, talents like Gu Jingzhi will be highly sought after no matter who gets promoted in the future.
Even though the second and third princes are now close to the aristocratic families, what is the reality?
Anyone of them who gets to that position will always discover the shortcomings of the aristocratic family, and then they will still have to find ways to break free from the shackles of the aristocratic family.
Gu Jingzhi now supports the prince, firstly because it was arranged by Emperor Xia, and secondly because the prince is more honest than his two brothers.
But Emperor Xia didn’t just have these three sons!
Qiao Shuwan was indeed dissatisfied with what the prince did yesterday, but the two were now one and had two children, so she and the Qiao family behind her could only go down this path.
Therefore, winning over Gu Jingzhi at this time will bring him hundreds of benefits and no harm!
Looking at the somewhat silent Qiao Shuwan, Gu Jingzhi said silently: "Now that things have come to this, what are you going to do?"
"What has happened so far?"
Qiao Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible..."
"..."
Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, and he said, "I'm talking about your family's affairs!"
I'm responsible for it!
I'm not responsible for anything. As a young man in the future, who wouldn't envy the joy of being a prime minister? I just don't know if I'll ever have the chance to sit on that prime minister's throne.
After hearing this, Qiao Shuwan finally realized that she had misunderstood Gu Jingzhi's meaning.
Thinking of the mess at home, she said sadly, "He already said that he only informed me about this matter, not asked for my consent. What else can I do?"
To be honest, she and the prince can't say anything to each other now, but that doesn't mean she is willing to bring someone into the house to annoy her.
Gu Jingzhi said, "Let's find some time to talk to General Qiao. Although this matter is a foregone conclusion, your Qiao family...he will have some concerns!"
"Ok!"
Qiao Shuwan leaned in Gu Jingzhi's arms and nodded silently.
After a while, she looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, how about..."
Well, you really should leave.
Gu Jingzhi thought so in his heart, who thought so?
Qiao Shuwan actually said, "Let's do it again!"
"..."
Feelings, this is addictive!
……
I don’t know if it’s because Qiao Shuwan is addicted or because Gu Jingzhi has been away and hasn’t done this for a while, but in any case, Qiao Shuwan succeeded again.
At dawn, Qiao Shuwan left Gu Jingzhi's residence and returned to her own courtyard.
Ah!
He went through the back door that the prince often took.
I'm afraid the prince would never have thought that the convenient door he often enters and exits would be used by his own wife.
However, he was indeed still sleeping soundly in the Cong family.
Qiao Shuwan, on the other hand, first washed off all the traces on her body, and then, seeing that it was getting light, she did not have breakfast at home, but went to the next door with her two children.
The Qiao family lives next door.
Qiao Shuwan came to visit early in the morning, bringing her two children with her. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong.
When General Qiao asked about it, Qiao Shuwan did not hide anything and told Gu Jingzhi everything according to his wishes.
When General Qiao heard this, he could no longer hide his murderous intent.
As a founding hero, even Emperor Xia had to call him "little brother". He was not like those nobles who were later granted titles... He dared not even pay attention to the crown prince.
Although he didn't say a word, anyone with a discerning eye could see the murderous intent in his face. He was extremely dissatisfied!
As subjects, they have no right to interfere in their lord's family affairs, and they cannot interfere.
But you have to act according to etiquette, right?
If the rules and regulations are complete and you like it, no one will say anything even if you fill the entire backyard with it.
But this is against etiquette. If someone doesn't know, they might think something happened to the daughter of the Qiao family.
Does he want to save his daughter's face? Does he want to save the Qiao family's face?
Qiao Yang, young and hot-tempered, immediately shouted angrily, "How could he do this? Because of him, our Qiao family lost their official positions and titles, and went from being a family of founding marquises to being a commoner today. Has our Qiao family ever felt resentment?"
"He doesn't follow the rules, and he blames it on my sister..."
"enough!"
General Qiao scolded, "Is this your business? Didn't you see your elder brother didn't say anything?"
Qiao Yang: “…”
"Ugh……"
General Qiao sighed and said, "I agreed to this marriage initially because, firstly, he was my minister and secondly, we were friends for life..."
"Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. As a father, I understand this truth! I just thought that even if he encounters any difficulties in the future, this deep palace still has some rules to follow. Besides, my Qiao family is a leading military family, so we have to be more considerate of them!"
"I just didn't expect..."
General Qiao thought for a moment and said, "You said Marquis Gu was also present at yesterday's incident?"
"Ok!"
Qiao Shuwan nodded and said, "Marquis Xiling originally went to look for him. If he hadn't gone, this matter wouldn't have been discovered!"
"Marquis Gu's unintentional act exposed his scandal. It's fine if he loses power now, but if he returns to the capital one day and secures the throne of Crown Prince again, I wonder if there will be a rift between the two of them!"
The Qiao family is taken care of by Gu Jingzhi, and the relationship between the two families is now extremely close. If there is a disagreement in the future because of today's incident, it will not be a good thing!
After all, knowing about it is one thing, and discovering it is another.
It's a scandal after all, and I wonder if that person has any grudges in his heart!
After hearing this, Qiao Shuwan understood clearly. She said, "Marquis Gu was originally left to him by His Majesty. He might even become a regent in the future. Without Marquis Gu, he won't be able to deal with the aristocratic families!"
"Besides, even if there really was something going on between the two of them, Marquis Gu would have been confident by then and naturally wouldn't be afraid of him..."
Somehow, compared to Gu Jingzhi in all aspects, Qiao Shuwan suddenly felt that, except for his background, this prince of hers was inferior to Gu Jingzhi in every way...
