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

Chapter 425 The Rewarding Team Sets Off with the Imperial Edict

When Qiao Jianer heard the muffled sound, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Second Young Master, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Pei Shijiu struggled to the ground, keeping his mouth tightly shut, trying desperately to maintain his last bit of dignity.

It would be fine if he just fell into the pit, but if he swallowed a big mouthful of it, he would never be able to hold his head up in the Pei family again.

Qiao Jian'er couldn't hear the answer and guessed that something must have happened. She could imagine two possibilities: one was a fall, and the other was an assassination.

With this function, there will still be some changes in the sound transmission, and she can't say for sure.

Just praying that it won't be the latter.

However, Pei Shijiu's breath was very disordered and heavy. He was trying to breathe through his nostrils and seemed afraid to use his mouth. From time to time, other indescribable noises could be heard, as if a person was struggling in the mud.

Qiao Jian'er speculated again: "Second Young Master has fallen into a trap. What kind of trap is it?"

"It's not a cesspool."

Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Jianer couldn't help laughing, which was transferred from Pei Shijiu's face just now.

It's over, the little girl knew it, Pei Shijiu's last line of defense collapsed, he opened his mouth and took a big bite.

Ahhh, heaven and earth, life is meaningless. He felt hopeless and closed his eyes, thinking that it would be better if he drowned in a cesspool.

In my next life, I will be a hero again!

Fortunately, people came to the toilet from time to time, and Pei Shijiu was rescued soon.

He still held on to a glimmer of hope and didn't want Qiao Jian'er to know about this, even though she had guesses. Once the matter was settled, he would deny it.

So he desperately shook his head and winked at the servants, signaling them not to say anything.

But the servants didn't understand their hints at all. They seemed shocked and confused about this matter.

"Oh, the second young master was fine, how could he fall into the cesspool?"

"Hurry up and clean up the Second Young Master."

"We must not let the master and his wife know, otherwise they will blame us for not protecting the Second Young Master well."

"You guys - wow -" Before he could even utter the word "bastard", Pei Shijiu leaned over and vomited, his face a deadly blue.

"Little girl, they—wah—ugh—are talking nonsense—wah, don't believe it—ugh—"

Just now he had tried to hold back from vomiting, so as to prevent Qiao Jianer from being convinced. Now he felt as if the world was turning upside down and he wanted to vomit out everything he hadn't defecated.

"Who are you talking to, Second Young Master?"

"I don't know. Maybe he fell into the pit and ate too much, so he lost consciousness."

"There are a few big rocks in the pit. I'm afraid they've damaged your brain."

Shut up, shut up! Pei Shijiu vomited absentmindedly while shouting in his heart.

However, I haven't heard Qiao Jianer's voice for a long time. The little girl must have left and gone to do other things.

Pei Shijiu hopes so.

When he had almost finished vomiting, a large basin of warm water was poured on him, followed by another basin, and another basin.

After being rinsed roughly, he was stripped of his clothes and thrown into a large bathtub.

Pei Shijiu leaned against the wall of the barrel, feeling that what had just happened was like a nightmare.

"Little girl, are you still there?"

"Yes, I've always been here," said Qiao Jianer.

Of course, she was away for a short while because she ran out and burst into laughter, and now her face is a little cramped.

Pei Shijiu closed his eyes. He was making a fool of himself in front of the little girl.

Looking up, it felt as if the sky had collapsed.

"What they just said was nonsense. It's all fake." He said with a serious and fearful face: "Don't take it seriously."

"Yeah, it's all fake, don't take it seriously." Qiao Jianer repeated his words, as if comforting a child.

Her serious attitude made Pei Shijiu even more uneasy: "You must be laughing, you must believe it, hum."

"No way, I didn't hear anything just now, including the plop, vomiting, and the discussion of those servants." Qiao Lianer said sternly.

Pei Shijiu wanted to cry but had no tears, and was mad at no point: "You are a bad person too, I really hold a grudge."

"Since the Second Young Master is so distant, I won't dare to chat with you in the future."

Pei Shijiu struggled desperately: "Okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you this time."

"To be honest, it's all your fault that I fell into this cesspool and ruined my reputation."

"Blame me?" Qiao Jianer didn't understand.

"You said you wanted to come to Beijing to play for a month, I'm happy."

Qiao Lian'er was silent for a moment. She kept Pei Shijiu's friendship in her heart.

"I will definitely come."

"My brother, I, and the entire Pei family stand with you. You will not lose this battle." Pei Shijiu promised.

"Here, keep an eye on the Qiao family's movements in Beijing at all times."

Qiao Jianer thought that it would take a tight five days to deliver the news from the Qiao family in the capital to here, even if he had to keep changing horses.

But it only takes a moment for her to know the news she wants to know. If she can't even win, it would be a waste of the magic of this space.

"Also, the Pei family received the medicine you sent this morning. They boiled it and gave it to my parents. They feel much better now, and they have a better appetite for dinner. Thank you, little girl."

"It's just a few medicines, you have done more for me." Qiao Lianer said sincerely.

Three days later, the reward was decided.

The two main combat commanders, General Lu and General Xu, led the imperial cavalry to escort the imperial edict and reward documents to Datian Village. Among them, the Chief Censor, that is, Uncle Qiao's eldest son Qiao Yuan, as well as the Minister of Rites Qin Ren and the Doctor of Personnel Yu Jianshan accompanied them as inspectors.

"The two commanders are fine. They will take the portraits with them. Besides, Doctor Yu is our man." Pei Zhujin said.

"Originally, Second Master Qiao wanted to send his second son, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, to the Southern Kingdom with the imperial edict. Someone had consulted the Emperor, saying that the Northern Alliance had suffered a defeat, and there was a fear that the tribes might be disgruntled and send spies to the capital to cause trouble. It would be best for the Imperial Guards to remain in the capital to defend the imperial city."

"Several commanders are in the capital and have already received their rewards. General Lu and General Xu were originally stationed in the southern part of the central region, so it's a good opportunity for them to move south."

Qiao Jianer thought that in order to achieve this situation, there must have been a fierce debate in the court.

She told Zhu Jin about her thoughts, and Pei Zhu Jin chuckled, "It was a bit intense, and almost came to blows. Although the Pei family didn't know those generals had the portraits, it's impossible for them to side with them if they weren't their own people."

"That Qin Ren is the brother of Mr. Qiao's wife. He is a sinister and cunning person, and his methods are tyrannical. You should be careful. We have tried our best, but we can't persuade him."

"The Chief Censor's mind is even more unpredictable, so we must be more vigilant."

"Although Doctor Yu's position is lower than Qin Ren's, he is highly capable and has the emperor's trust. He has a promising future. Don't worry, Miss Qiao. I won't assign you a useless person."

A cold look appeared on Qiao Jianer's face. This battle was finally brought out into the open.
