"Bizhu? What did you say?"
Qiao Yin opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was Bizhu's excited face.
Bi Zhu chuckled: "Early in the morning, General Xie came with a matchmaker to propose marriage. Miss, why don't you get up and take a look?"
"What? Xie Yu'an is here? Are you sure?" Qiao Yin screamed.
Bizhu nodded and smiled even more happily, having seen a little of today's excitement.
"This is General Xie. The matchmaker we invited is the Minister of War, who was our Lord's former superior."
Bi Zhu's words were conclusive, and Qiao Yin hurriedly got up from the bed. While getting dressed and washing, he called out the system.
【Dog system, didn’t I ask you to notify me? Can you be more reliable? 】
System: 【I notified the system...but...the notification was wrong...I didn't know there was Xie Ren beside Xie Yu'an. 】
Qiao Yin was really speechless: 【You are the system, do you care about your face? 】
【Their parameters are only one decimal point apart. 】The system also called Qu.
Qiao Yin had nothing to say, what kind of reliable thing could a broken system that could deceive her in the Western New Year do?
Quickly getting dressed, Qiao Yin hurried to the front yard living room. Qiao Yin was about to go in, but was stopped by Qiao Mo.
"Brother, let me go over and take a look."
Qiao Mo didn't obey her this time, "Father told me not to let you pass."
"Why?"
"What's the reason? As long as the elders of the two families are present when discussing the marriage, you don't need to come forward." Qiao Mo said firmly.
Qiao Yin felt something was wrong, but Qiao Mo didn't let go, so he had to do the next best thing and said: "Then it's okay if I listen at the door?"
Qiao Mo did not refuse because he also wanted to hear it.
The two quietly came outside the living room, and heard the voice of Mr. Yuan, the old minister of the Ministry of War, first coming from the hall.
"Brother Qiao, I'm here today, Lao Yuan. Firstly, I'm here to congratulate you on your great achievements and your triumphant return. Secondly, I'm here to ask you for a wedding drink. There's a wedding going on at my house."
Yuan Shangshu was Qiao Zhendong's first high-ranking official who surrendered to the army, and he was kind to Qiao Zhendong. Even though Qiao Zhendong now has a higher official rank than Yuan Shangshu, his respect and gratitude to Yuan Shangshu remain the same as before.
His words were so weighty that it was difficult for Qiao Zhendong to refuse.
Qiao Zhendong had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes fell on Xie Yuan, whom Yuan Shangshu had attacked.
Okay, okay, this bitch deceived his good daughter like this?
Qiao Zhendong gave a half-hearted smile and said, "Brother Yuan, you came to ask for a drink, what about this one?"
Qiao Zhendong pretended to be stupid and glanced at Xie Yuan from the corner of his eye.
Yuan Shangshu was stunned and glanced at Xie Yuan from the corner of his eye.
It stands to reason that he, the matchmaker, is the only one who can lead the marriage, and the two families should have already reached a consensus. Why didn't he look at Marquis Jing'an as if he didn't mean this?
It was also at this moment that Xie Yu'an realized something like a wake-up call - he only focused on getting Qiao Yin to nod, and had forgotten about Qiao's father-in-law, who seemed to dislike him very much.
Xie Yuan thought quickly, stood up and said respectfully:
"Uncle, my junior Xie Yu'an has been in love with Ayin for a long time. I came here today to express my intention to marry you, and I hope my uncle will fulfill my wish."
Seeing Xie Yuan's confession, Yuan Shangshu, the matchmaker, naturally did his best.
"Brother Qiao, look at General Xie. Not only is he a talented man, but his reputation is also far-reaching. His family belongs to the Xie family in Huaizhou, the first family in Huaizhou. He has a reliable family background. He and your wife are a match made in heaven."
"Really? I can't see."
Qiao Zhendong looked distant and cold, and he took out a letter from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.
"Then I dare to ask General Dingguo, since you love your little girl, why did you leave her alone in the bandit's den before Xi Qian, and then broke the promise and refused to rescue her?"
Xie Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Qiao Zhendong stared at Xie Yuan with sharp eyes. Xie Yuan felt guilty and did not dare to look into Qiao Zhendong's eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's my incompetence and I couldn't arrive in time."
"Since you admit that you are incompetent, I have nothing to say. Please go ahead." Qiao Zhendong issued an eviction order on the spot.
Qiao Yin outside the door couldn't help but take a peek. When he saw the letter on the table, he was stunned.
"Why is that letter in dad's hands?" Qiao Yin turned to ask Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo pulled Qiao Yin away, "I sent the letter by mistake. Wanran sent it back yesterday, so I showed it to dad."
Again and again!
"Brother, you tricked me again!"
One system, one his big brother, how can one be more pitiful than the other.
Qiao Mo didn't feel that he had done anything wrong this time: "We didn't know that so many things happened back then. You and Xie Yu'an were together. People outside always said about you, sister, and that our Qiao family had surpassed Xie Yu'an. It's just right, Let the world know that I am indebted to you by Xie Yu'an."
Although he liked Xie Yuan quite a lot, no matter how much he liked him, he couldn't compare to Qiao Yin's importance in his heart.
Qiao Mo couldn't even imagine how Qiao Yin lived in the gangster's den, and how desperate she must have been in those few days when Xie Yu'an missed her appointment.
Qiao Mo recalled Qiao Yin's appearance on the first day he returned home. He was so skinny and had no skin on his body. It took him a full month to regain his color.
He couldn't help but scolded: "It's you! Sister, you were caught in a gang den for such a big thing, and you didn't even tell your family when you returned home! Do you still treat your father as your father and me as your eldest brother? You Have you never regarded this as your home and us as your family?"
Qiao Yin originally felt angry, but after being scolded by Qiao Mo, she felt guilty and did not dare to refute a word.
Qiao Mo put his hands on his hips and said with an angry look on his face: "I have the same idea as dad now. Our Qiao family can support you, so your marriage is not in a hurry within a year and a half. If Xie Yu'an is sincere, then just wait."
Qiao Yin could ignore Xie Yuan's fault.
But they, as fathers and brothers, must make it clear that their Qiao family's daughter cannot be bullied, let alone let down!
Qiao Yin couldn't raise her head due to being scolded. She looked timidly towards the direction of the living room and saw Xie Yu'an being kicked out by Qiao Zhendong with a cold face. Even Yuan Shangshu didn't show any mercy to her father.
Bizhu followed Qiao Yin, originally wanting to watch the excitement, but she didn't expect that there was no fighting inside, but the atmosphere was so cold that it could freeze, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to express her anger.
Afraid of angering her father, Qiao Yin followed quietly to the gate before daring to go up and say a word to Xie Yu'an.
"Ayu?"
Xie Yuan was sitting in the carriage and smiled awkwardly when he saw her.
"What should I do? My father-in-law is very dissatisfied with my future son-in-law."
Qiao Yin immediately said: "It doesn't matter, I will convince my father."
Xie Yu'an shook his head: "No, it's my problem. Whether it was what happened 10 years ago or what happened today, I was responsible for my negligence, and I should be responsible for it."
"Ayin, go and accompany your father. I can take care of the rest."
Xie Yu'an is still the considerate Xie Yu'an, who doesn't want her to be in trouble and doesn't want her to be separated from her father Qiao.
"General Xie, do you need some love and encouragement?"
Qiao Yin blinked at him.
Xie Yuan nodded: "Need it."
"Reach out."
Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand, and a small, round, orange tangerine was placed in his palm.
"It's a reward from the palace. It's very sweet."
Xie Yu'an looked at her smiling face and smiled knowingly: "I received it, Teacher Jiang's loving encouragement."
