Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 413 Humph, don’t tell me, you despise me

Pei family in the capital.

Before midnight, Pei Zhujin lay down on the soft couch in the study again.

I made an appointment with Miss Qiao that day to fall asleep at midnight.

Although after a few days of digestion, he was sure that it was basically impossible to be a dream.

But fearing any mishap, and unable to hear Miss Qiao's words, he continued to follow the plan.

Sure enough, Qiao Jianer's voice sounded again.

"Brother Pei."

"I'm here." Pei Zhujin responded immediately.

He told her the progress: "We have sent someone to investigate the temple where Miss Qiao stayed. She didn't have a name in the temple, only a Buddhist name, Miaoxin."

"They also sent someone to the Ministry of Revenue to secretly check the household registration at birth. They discovered that she was only given a nickname, Aya. It was probably at that time that they calculated that Miss Qiao was doomed, so they didn't give her a formal name and sent her to a temple first."

"So, once you leave the temple, you can be called whatever you want." Qiao Lian'er's eyes gradually darkened.

"Yes, before they left the capital, they went to the Ministry of Revenue and registered their name, Qiao Lian'er."

Now, the name Qiao Lian'er has also left its mark in the capital, and it can be officially verified.

"How did the Qiao family in the capital know that I took out those formations?" Qiao Jianer asked again.

"There's nothing wrong with those commanders. They're all aloof and proud, and they don't collude with court officials. This is also a taboo for His Majesty, and no one dares to step on it."

"Come to think of it, it was my negligence here."

"What does it have to do with Brother Pei?"

"When we used Miss Qiao's formation to turn the tide of the battle, in order to pave the way for Miss Qiao and to make it easier for her to be rewarded, I spread the word that the formation on the battlefield was created by a girl named Qiao Jian'er thousands of miles away. She also knew how to control floods and saved the villagers from their losses."

"I was originally trying to build momentum for you, but I never thought you'd be targeted by someone with ulterior motives." Pei Zhujin's tone was a little more apologetic: "I'm really sorry."

Qiao Jian'er smiled and didn't mind. "Brother Pei means well. Besides, after winning the battle, it's hard to accept that a village girl came up with this formation. Brother Pei is right."

"The one who is wrong is the one who takes credit for other people's achievements."

Seeing her so open-minded and generous, Pei Zhujin felt much more relieved.

"Now, as long as you keep more evidence, Miss Qiao, you won't be afraid that the credit will be snatched away by the Qiao family in Beijing."

"I have also sent people to secretly meet General Guan's cavalry who are delivering the portrait. They should be connecting soon."

"If they succeed, then black and white will be turned upside down. I can't possibly do what they want."

Qiao Jianer spoke each word with a cold determination.

"Brother Pei, I have some characteristics. If it's convenient, please help me spread them."

"Well, you said that with half of the guards withdrawing today, it's easier than before."

From these words, Qiao Jianer judged that things in the Pei family were changing in a positive direction.

Otherwise, there will be more and more guards surrounding the house.

"There's a burn mark on my left leg near the knee. It's the scar from when I saved a child who fell into a fire pit when I was a child."

Qiao Jianer lied and apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Pei. I didn't mean to lie to you."

"I remember that Miss Qiao's righteousness started from her childhood." Pei Zhujin sighed with deep admiration.

Pei Shijiu didn't know when he came in, he saw his eldest brother lying on the couch with his eyes closed, talking, and he was talking to Qiao Jianer.

There was a hint of mischief in the corner of his eyes, and he came over mysteriously: "Little girl, guess who I am."

But Qiao Lian'er couldn't hear his voice at all, because Pei Shijiu had not touched the letter in her hand.

She continued talking to Pei Zhujin.

Pei Zhujin opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face.

"Miss Qiao, can't you hear my brother?"

Only then did Qiao Jianer realize that Pei Shijiu was also there.

"Well, for now, I can only talk to the eldest son. As for the second son, I'll have to wait a few days."

She also had a letter from Pei Shijiu in her hand.

Pei Zhujin relayed her words.

"Ah, what's the logic? Why can I only talk to my eldest brother? Explain to me, little girl, do you dislike me?"

The veins on Pei Zhujin's forehead throbbed. He frowned and whispered, "Brother, don't be silly. Maybe it's just the beginning. Miss Qiao still has some difficulties to overcome, so she can't talk to everyone."

"Then why did you choose big brother instead of me at the beginning? Humph, I will remember this grudge." Pei Shijiu waited for a few days, but felt that he had waited in vain.

A face full of frustration.

He now wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Datian Village thousands of miles away to get to the bottom of the matter.

Pei Zhujin couldn't tell Qiao Jianer these words.

"Brother, I see you're not sleepy at all, so why not give you something?"

"Oh." Pei Shijiu looked reluctant.

"Miss Qiao has a burn on her left leg near the knee. It was caused when she saved a child from falling into a fire pit when she was little. It's a clear identifying mark. Spread this news to the commanders first. Let them know that Miss Qiao has always been a righteous person. Be careful and avoid the eyes of the Qiao family in the capital."

The Pei family fought hard to break through the encirclement of the Qiao family in the capital. They had no other options left. Now that they had relaxed their efforts, it was time to reward Miss Qiao.

So there is no need to worry about this physical characteristic spreading. Even if Mr. Qiao's family in Datian Village knew about it, they would not be able to prepare so quickly.

Besides, how could a spoiled young lady have the determination and courage to burn a scar on her leg?

But to be on the safe side, it is better to let the Qiao family in Beijing know as late as possible.

Pei Shijiu's eyes flickered slightly. Good idea.

He was about to get up and do it, but suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"No, the little girl won't talk to me, and I have to do things for her. Isn't this just a waste of time?"

"When have I, Second Young Master Pei, ever done anything so undignified?"

Pei Zhujin was at a loss for words: "If you don't want to, then I'll do it myself. The credit must be attributed to me. When you meet Miss Qiao someday, you can't claim it for yourself."

Pei Shijiu widened his eyes, feeling both angry and struggling.

"Okay, okay, I'll go. This way, the little girl will owe me even more. When we meet, I'll make sure she compensates me."

After finding a reason to convince himself, Pei Shijiu left in a hurry.

Qiao Jian'er couldn't hear Pei Shijiu's voice, but she could guess that he must have said a lot of angry words.

Because I can't talk to her?

She has a 27-year-old soul in this body, so she treats Pei Shijiu as a child. If she wants to talk about important things, she will definitely look for Pei Zhujin.

But she knew that she had underestimated Pei Shijiu's friendship for her. She would talk to him about it when she got home.

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Chu took the mother and daughter to the Chu family's herbal medicine shop.
