Chapter 5223: 5.0975 Implication
The group of onlookers, who loved a good spectacle, didn't go far after dispersing. They secretly hid in the streets and alleys.
Peeking from around corners, they squeezed their heads together, squinting their eyes, and continued to watch the Qiao Manor's gate.
They just didn't dare to get close.
At the entrance of the Qiao Manor, two "blooming white flowers" were indeed kneeling: an old one and a young one.
The two were kneeling side-by-side at the Qiao Manor's gate, wailing like mourners, crying about injustice and confessing their sins.
One cry after another.
Before Qiaomu could react, Qiao Lin bounced forward first and kicked the older "white flower" in the back. "Whose funeral are you crying at? Who told you to come wailing at our house?"
Wei Ziqin, who had been looking rather awkward, didn't know what to say to the Second Madam of the Huainan Earl's Estate.
Suddenly startled by her daughter's shout, she quickly looked up, and her anger turned to joy.
She saw her younger daughter holding her elder daughter's hand, both stepping into the manor together.
Little Lin'er was holding Qiaomu's hand. Seeing the younger "white flower" about to pounce on her sister, she quickly kicked her away.
"You dare to bump my sister's belly? I'll kill you."
Wei Ziqin quickly came forward to cover her younger daughter's mouth, quickly saying, "Girls, don't talk about fighting and killing all day."
This daughter truly worried her. If she gained a reputation for being fierce in the capital, how would she ever find a good family to marry into in the future?
"Mom." Little Lin'er pulled down Wei Ziqin's hand. "You're scolding me as soon as I come out of seclusion."
Wei Ziqin couldn't help but smile and pat her hand. "You child, am I scolding you? I'm worried."
"Forget it, forget it." This matter could be discussed later. These two troublesome individuals from the Huainan Earl's Estate needed to be dealt with first.
Having them kneeling at the doorstep was truly upsetting.
With these two women kneeling in front of the Qiao residence, Wei Ziqin could only tell the men of the family to hide in the back courtyard, lest they be offended.
Shaoyao, holding her sword, tried to rush out, but Wei Ziqin quickly stopped her.
There was already a large crowd outside waiting to watch the show. If Shaoyao really went out with a sword to hack them, wouldn't it be common knowledge in the streets by tomorrow?
"Sister-in-law." Little Lin'er excitedly rushed over when she saw Shaoyao. "Oh dear, what did I miss while I was in seclusion? Look, is this my little nephew?"
Shaoyao was holding the little tiger. Her sword was put away, but her face still showed an indignant expression.
Now seeing Little Lin'er run over, she finally smiled. "Lin'er is out of seclusion."
"How remarkable, at such a young age, you're almost breaking through to a Level Seven Spirit Master."
Little Lin'er scratched her head a little shyly. "It's all thanks to Sister."
If it weren't for her sister raising her, providing such a good environment and nourishing her with such good spiritual medicine, how could she have advanced so quickly?
It was just that she had a more powerful sister than others.
Shaoyao smiled and nodded, holding Little Lin'er's hand and exchanging a few pleasantries.
When she glanced at the two kneeling at the door, her expression immediately changed again.
These two women dared to kneel in front of the Qiao Manor, ruining their family's reputation. How hateful!
"I'll handle this," Qiaomu said with a solemn face.
These mother and daughter were targeting her, and it originally had nothing to do with her family.
But because of her, her family was implicated, and Qiaomu felt very uneasy about it.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Wei Ziqin knew she was overthinking again and quickly consoled her, "Daughter, don't overthink it. We're all family; there's no such thing as implicating or not implicating."
