Chapter 697 Let Master Qiao recall painful things

"I didn't expect that the Liu family who rented the shop to me was a relative of the original Liu Xian'er. It's also my fault that I didn't think more about it before. Do you think there was an instruction from Prince Duan here?" Bai Ruozhu asked softly.

Jiang Yichun warmed her cold hands and said with some distress: "Don't go out at night anymore. If you have to come out, wear thicker clothes, otherwise I won't spank you!" He said but also slapped her butt. After taking a look, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but blush. He really spanked her, this big pervert!

Jiang Yichun saw her face blushing with embarrassment, and knowing that she had listened, he said seriously: "Prince Duan probably doesn't have this kind of free time, but the Liu family must have taken advantage of Prince Duan's influence, otherwise they wouldn't dare to fight you so openly. of."

Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly, "No matter who takes advantage of it, as long as the evidence of breaking the law is solid, can you still escape? Prince Duan will not ruin his reputation for such a small role, right?"

Jiang Yichun nodded and said, "Meng Liangsheng and I are secretly investigating that matter. If you need help, just tell me. Don't always treat your husband as an outsider." There was some sour complaint in his tone.

She couldn't help but laugh, feeling a little jealous that she didn't rely on him.

"I don't treat you as an outsider, I use you as my last trump card. If I let you take action from the beginning, then I would be happy to not have to worry about anything. But as time goes by, I will become stupid. Are you willing? Marry a stupid woman?" She said with a smile.

Seeing her playful smile, he couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch her small nose and said, "Anyway, I'm pampering you, so what does it matter if you're a little stupid? No matter how stupid you are, you're still much smarter than the average woman. .”

She couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You are so flattering to me."

But she felt warm in her heart because she thought of the article she had read in her previous life, which said that if a woman marries the right person, she does not need to be strong because she has the care and love of a man. With Jiang Yichun pampering her like this, she naturally didn't have to worry about anything, but she wanted to be the kapok beside him, going through ups and downs with him, and growing up together.

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu packed up and went out. The secret guard came to report, saying: "Master, Mrs. Liu took a carriage to Qiao's house early in the morning, but we secretly broke the carriage shaft. As a result, she was very anxious and couldn't find her for a while. When he got to another carriage, he actually picked up his skirt and ran towards Qiao's house. Do we..." the secret guard said in a longer voice.

Bai Ruozhu said hurriedly: "Don't touch her, lest we prove the truth. Just keep an eye on the Qiao family. I'll be there right away."

She felt that she had gotten up early enough, but Mrs. Qiao was really anxious. The government office didn't even open the door so early.

Jiang Yichun came over and said, "I'll go with you."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and patted him, and said, "You've been busy lately, so don't worry about me. Aren't there still secret guards here?"

"Okay, I'll go to the Meng Mansion later." Jiang Yichun didn't insist.

"Okay, if things go well, I'm going to the Meng Mansion. Do I want to come back with you?" She stood there and looked up at him slightly, with joy on her face, which made him feel soft in his heart.

"Okay, let's go home together then." He said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu took a carriage and rushed to Qiao's Mansion. On the way, Jian Qi came to report, "Mrs. Liu has arrived. Master Qiao rejected her again. At this time, people were making a fuss at the door of Qiao's Mansion, and Master Qiao was also dying inside. Mrs. Qiao felt sorry for her son and was already helping her son to make a fuss with Mr. Qiao. She saw that Mr. Qiao was also a little relaxed.

Bai Ruozhu asked Wei San to speed up and soon arrived at the door of Qiao's house.

"Dad, didn't you say we won't see any guests today? If you don't see Mrs. Liu, you can't see anyone else either!" Master Qiao couldn't help but screamed when he saw Bai Ruozhu appear.

The door to Qiao's courtyard was wide open, but a servant stopped Mrs. Liu from entering. Bai Ruozhu looked at Master Qiao and thought to herself that she had no grudge against him, why was he rejecting her so much? Could it be that Mrs. Liu gave him any benefits in private? Or did Mrs. Liu scratch his sore foot?

When Mr. Qiao saw Bai Ruozhu coming, he couldn't help but look ashamed.

Bai Ruozhu didn't look at him much, but looked at Master Qiao and asked, "I wonder how Master Qiao owes gambling debts? Is there someone who set you up behind your back?"

These words were not groundless. The Liu family had been plotting against Bai Ruozhu from the beginning, but they did not expect that Bai Ruozhu could rent the shop next door. At that time, Master Qiao's gambling debt must have nothing to do with the Liu family. It's just that the Qiao family rented the shop to Bai Ruozhu. Later, Master Qiao owed a huge sum of money and had to sell the shop. The Liu family was the first to come to buy the shop. There could be no calculations by the Liu family.

Master Qiao blushed all of a sudden and shouted at Bai Ruozhu: "Don't talk nonsense. Who owes gambling debts? Don't slander anyone."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh. Even though he was like this, he was still a face-saving master.

Master Qiao felt a little guilty after being laughed at by Bai Ruozhu, but he didn't want to say anything more like that. Next to her, Mrs. Liu said hurriedly: "Young Master Qiao is still a man who has to take the imperial examination. Don't slander his reputation."

Bai Ruozhu didn't expect that Master Qiao was still a scholar. She didn't say anything, thinking that this wouldn't work and Mrs. Liu couldn't let Mrs. Liu take advantage of her.

So, she flicked her nails slightly, just like moving her fingers normally, but Jian Qi behind her narrowed his eyes slightly and saw her move.

Jian Qi thought of the medicine Bai Ruozhu gave him to treat his throat. Now that his throat was no longer hoarse and no longer in pain as before, he should have thought that this master was a master of medicine.

In the courtyard of Qiao's house, Master Qiao was closest to the door because he wanted to take Mrs. Liu in, which made it convenient for Bai Ruozhu to do it.

Soon Master Qiao's expression became a little dazed. He suddenly squatted down in pain and cried loudly. While crying, he said: "The first time I went gambling, I was cheated by a classmate. I didn't know the rules of the casino at all. Who would have thought that I would lose so much money, and my parents would have to rent out the shop immediately to pay off their gambling debts. I am really ashamed of them, and I vowed that I would never gamble again in my life."

No one expected that Master Qiao would suddenly burst out emotionally. Mrs. Qiao was wiping tears at the side, while Master Qiao stamped his feet angrily and said loudly: "You have the nerve to say it, so why did you go again?"

"Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Master Qiao hugged his head and cried, "The man who tricked me into going to the casino became my enemy. I didn't talk to him for almost a month, but one day he suddenly stopped me after leaving school. I took the banknote and stuffed it into me and said he would pay me back. He said he felt guilty for causing me to lose the money. After making enough money, he was the first to think of paying me back. I saw that he was quite sincere, and I felt relieved. I have a grudge, but I don’t want to..." Master Qiao cried bitterly again and was speechless for a long time.
