Chapter 280
Jin Niang picked up a cup of warm tea and asked Qiao ruofeng, “What do you think? If you really want to get married, that’s fine too. When we return to Chang ‘an, I’ll discuss it with second uncle and second aunt, and then I’ll get married to you.” Qiao ruofeng said shyly, “Don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense. Xu Mingwei only came to teach me martial arts and military tactics every day because he saw that I had the willpower to join the army……” Qiao ruofeng said, “I also have the will and determination. Why didn’t Xu Mingwei come to teach me?” The brocade lady smiled and said, “It seems that the heavens are destined. That year, Xu Mingwei jumped into the river to save your life on the eve of the seventh festival. Maybe it was Lady Zhinu who blessed you with a good marriage.” Qiao ruofeng said shyly, “Good sister, you also made fun of me like Ruowan?” The brocade lady said, “Second aunt and grandmother are very worried about you in Luoyang. If you can live well, they will be relieved.” Qiao ruofeng said weakly, “When mother wanted to be third uncle’s son, I said that I was going to marry into my Qiao family’s second son-in-law. Xu Mingwei is Lord Xu’s choice to be the Jiedushi envoy. He will not follow me to Chang ‘an to marry into the family.” Qiao ruofeng said, “If I marry into the family, I’ll be there too!” “Sister, if you’re worried about this, you’re worrying too much.” The jinniang nodded and said, “Yes, Ruofeng is right. If not, you should have more children. One surname is Qiao and the other is Xu.” Qiao Ruofeng’s face turned even redder. “Sister, why are you talking about having children?” At this moment, Qiao Ruoyin’s daughter had just woken up. The wet nurse carried her over to look for Qiao ruoyin. Qiao Jinniang carried the baby in her arms. This child was much older than her younger sister, and she had the appearance of her father. Qiao ruoyin smiled and said, “This girl is more delicate than a boy. If she doesn’t see me when she wakes up, she’ll start crying. The wet nurse can’t carry her either. Now that you’re carrying her, she won’t cry.” Qiao Jinniang teased the child in her arms and said with a smile, “This child probably knows that I am her aunt.” Seeing the soft and cuddly girl, Qiao Jinniang wanted her daughter to come as soon as possible. However, she did not know why there was no good news at this moment. …… In the iron mine of Yunzhou. Qin Miao Miao cooked a table full of dishes. Mother Qin said to Qin Miao with heartache, “Miao Miao, it’s been hard on you. You are the daughter of the High Duke’s public house. It’s all your father and brother’s fault. They have harmed you for the rest of your life!” Qin Miao said, “Mother, I’m not suffering. You should eat a little more and wait for the world to pardon you. Perhaps you and I might even have the chance to return to Chang ‘an one day. I know how to write and write. When that time comes, I’ll go to the Women’s Academy in the West Mountains and become a teacher. I’ll still be able to let mother have a good life.” Mother Qin patted Qin Miao’s head and said, “We’ve implicated you. The marriage contract between the Lin family and you is still there. If you bring the marriage contract back and ask Lin Mo to marry you, he won’t go back on his word. It’s better than suffering here.” Qin Miao said, “Mother, don’t talk about this anymore. Hurry up and eat.” While the mother and daughter were eating, the sound of something being smashed could be heard from inside. Qin Miao knew that her brother was smashing something again. It had been more than half a month since they had arrived at the border. Qin Zhu was still unwilling to admit that he was no longer the heir to the High Duke’s public house. He was beaten up by the mine owner every day. When he returned home, he would lose his temper. A mournful female voice came from the side. “How dare you! I am a general of the women’s Army of the cloud region. Who Dares to kidnap me?” “My aunt is the wife of Ambassador Xu Jiedu. His Highness the Crown Prince is full of praise for me. Why did you lowly servants let me come here!” “When I get out, I will take care of you, the lackeys of the crown princess consort, one by one!” Mother Qin asked, “Why is there such a sound outside?” Qin miaomiao replied, “I heard from the mine that the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess will be coming to cloud province to propose marriage to the emperor of the Xiliang Kingdom.” Mother Qin was overjoyed. “Miaomiao, your relationship with the crown princess has always been very good. If you go and beg her, she will definitely forgive you. Go back to Chang ‘an!” Qin Miaomiao put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, “Mother, my brother has treated Qiao Ruoyun so disgustingly. How can I have the face to beg for mercy? If I leave, what will you do? Are you willing to go to Chang ‘an with me?” “Of course not. I Can’t be at ease with your brother in this state,”said Mother Qin. Qin Miaomiao closed his eyes. After retrieving his tears, he slowly opened them again. “Isn’t that good? Back then, Fu Lu had said that he would spare me from the punishment of exile. But if I really agree to stay in Chang ‘an, what will you do?” With Qin Shu’s current disgraceful behavior, how could he be expected to take care of his mother? It was already good enough that the other sons and daughters of the Qin family did not hate his mother. Why would they come to take care of his mother. Qin Miaomiao put away the bowls and chopsticks. He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and wiped the sweat off his face. The climate in Yunzhou was really strange. It was still very hot at this moment. “Miaomiao!” Qin Miaomiao heard a familiar voice and almost thought she had heard wrong. “Zhou Siming? Why are you here? Did you come with the Crown Prince?” It couldn’t be. Hadn’t the Martial Duke’s public house already broken off with the Crown Prince? Zhou Siming wouldn’t come with the crown prince this time. “Miaomiao, I finally see you again.”Zhou Siming looked at Qin Miaomiao wearing a blue and white cloth and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. She was originally the daughter of the High Duke’s public house, and now her hands had calluses. Even an ordinary man in this iron mine could not bear to work, let alone such a weak woman! Qin Miaomiao said to Zhou siming, “What are you doing here?” Zhou siming said, “I’m sorry, Miaomiao. When you were in trouble, Sisi was also in trouble, so I did not have time to care about you for a while. I will take you away from here.” Qin miaomiao frowned and said, “There’s no need. I’m engaged to Lin Mo. Please have some self-respect, Young Master Zhou.” Zhou Siming was puzzled and said, “You know that Lin Mo doesn’t have you in his heart. I have never let you go. Why did you choose Lin Mo? If he really had feelings for you, he should have married you instead of watching you fall to such a State!” “Follow me. I promise you that I will save your father’s life. I will let everyone in the Qin public house regain their positions and take back their titles. When that time comes, you will still be the high and mighty miss of the Qin public house.” “Miaomiao, follow me!” Zhou Siming acted as if he wanted to go forward and hold Qin Miaomiao’s hand. However, Qin Miaomiao dodged him and said, “Zhou Siming, don’t tell me these things. My fate is already miserable enough. Don’t drag me into the state of Death!” “My father deserved it. It’s only right that our lineage was kicked out of the High Duke’s public house!” “Zhou Siming, since we’ve known each other for a while, I advise you to repent as soon as possible!”! Madam Zhou and Zhou Sisi also deserved it. You shouldn’t take the wrong path anymore. At least now you still have a chance to turn back. You grew up with His Highness. If you admit your mistake now, His Highness will still forgive you!” Zhou Sisi said, “Why should I admit my mistake to an ungrateful person? Mengmeng, trust me. In less than a year, King Huai will be in power.” “You’re crazy.”Qin Mengmeng shook his head in disbelief.
