Chapter 249: Chapter 251 The Young Lady is Not Bright_1
Xiao Biyu saw the flirtatious glances exchanged between the two and felt incredibly aggrieved, but what could she say?
Should she just lift Qiao Duo’er aside and fling herself into Tan Zhenghong’s arms?
"If you keep pining for my man, I will go door-to-door and let everyone see just how shameless you are. Also, keep an eye on Xiao Lingchuan. Last time, he paid mountain bandits to kill Zhenghong; I have evidence in my hands. Be careful, or I’ll take it to the Government Office, and your whole family will suffer!"
Qiao Duo’er said seriously.
She used to think Xiao Biyu was just a little girl obsessed with someone she couldn’t have, and a slight warning would suffice.
But now that Xiao Biyu posed a threat to Tan Zhenghong’s life, there was no need for Qiao Duo’er to be polite anymore.
"Impossible, my second brother may know some mountain bandits, but he would never let them harm Brother Hong!"
Xiao Biyu shook her head vehemently; her second brother had clearly promised to grant her wishes!
Qiao Duo’er blinked, wondering if there was something wrong with Xiao Biyu’s mind. Her points of concern were rather bizarre.
She suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the Xiao Family people; they probably hadn’t had it easy with Xiao Biyu causing trouble all these years.
Then, a thought suddenly struck Xiao Biyu: a few days ago, her second brother mentioned losing Two Taels of Silver, which her mother and second sister-in-law had nagged about for days.
Could it be that her second brother had paid off the mountain bandits?
"Actually, it’s okay if you don’t believe it. The Government Office is currently interrogating the mountain bandits; it won’t be long before we know who was behind it," Qiao Duo kindly reminded her.
Xiao Biyu, her suspicion confirmed by Qiao Duo’er’s earnest manner, bit her lip and immediately set off for home.
She wasn’t worried about Xiao Lingchuan being thrown into jail; she was angry about being deceived.
Isn’t it said that the girl’s mind isn’t quite right?
Tan Zhenghong couldn’t help but remark, "The Xiao Family is in for some trouble."
"It’s their own doing," Qiao Duo said with a slight sense of schadenfreude.
It wasn’t that she was being unkind; it was just that the girl raised by the Xiao Family was far too exceptional. Now that a daughter of the Xiao Family had come of age, it was time for them to taste their own medicine.
"Wife, do you think the mountain bandits will really implicate the Xiao Family?" Tan Zhenghong asked expectantly, looking at Qiao Duo.
If that were the case, the Xiao Family would definitely not be able to jump around anymore.
Qiao Duo shook her head, "I was just scaring them. Those are just underlings. They probably just follow orders from above and wouldn’t have access to any secrets."
Otherwise, revealing their clients so easily would ruin their business. But since the Xiao Family is guilty, with my words, they will surely be in a state of panic and immediately offer a hefty bribe to the Government Office to handle it.
Having smoothed things over with the Government Office, the Xiao Family will still fear her and won’t let Xiao Biyu cause trouble.
But Xiao Biyu has a rebellious nature; the more they try to suppress her, the more lively the Xiao Family will become, and when they start creating chaos, everyone else will live in peace.
Tan Zhenghong gave a thumbs up, "Wife, you are truly smart!"
Qiao Duo cracked a slight smile, then leisurely caught hold of Tan Zhenghong’s ear.
"You seemed pretty comfortable working there, even had a beauty delivering you food," Qiao Duo said, displeased.
Tan Zhenghong got the hint; his wife was jealous. But truly, he hadn’t given Xiao Biyu a second glance because not even a dozen Xiao Biyus could compare to one finger of his wife.
He quickly replied, "The beautiful woman who brings food is my wife. What delicious food do you have for me today?"
Qiao Duo gave his ear another hard tug before finally letting go, satisfied, and at the same time, handed over the bamboo basket.
Noodles fresh out of the pot need to be eaten quickly, or they’ll go bad.
Tan Zhenghong couldn’t help but sniff, "It smells amazing!"
