Chapter 164

Qiao Nian was stunned by Jing Rou's question.

The uneasiness in her heart that she had been deliberately ignoring broke free at this moment and magnified infinitely.

Her face finally couldn't maintain its original calmness. She frowned tightly and said with worry, "What do you know?"

If Jing Rou knew nothing like Jing's father and mother, she wouldn't ask her like this at this moment.

Seeing Qiao Nian's worried look, Jing Rou bit her back teeth fiercely, and the words in her heart turned again and again between her teeth, and then she said, "The only thing I know is that my brother went there for you this time."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's heart froze. Before she had time to ask in detail, she heard Jing Rou continue, "My brother said that he must promise you a stable future. He doesn't want you to be bullied again, so he has to make military merits and protect you! If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't go to suppress the bandits this time."

The words made Qiao Nian pale.

It was exactly what she thought.

Jing Yan suddenly went to suppress the bandits, and it was indeed related to her!

Qiao Nian's heart was completely panicked as the fists hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly.

Jing Rou's hands were also tightly clenched, and the joints were white.

There were still thousands of words in her heart, but looking at Qiao Nian's slightly red eyes, she swallowed all the words back.

At the end, she just said coldly, "You'd better pray that my brother can come back safely, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

After that, Jing Rou got up and walked out.

When she passed the door, she happened to bump into Ning Shuang.

But Jing Rou didn't stop for a moment and soon disappeared.

Instead, Ning Shuang was puzzled, "Miss, why is Miss Jing crying?"

Crying?

Qiao Nian was stunned, and her intuition told her that Jing Rou must have a lot of things to say to her today.

Jing Rou, must know something else.

Otherwise, Jing Yan had only been away for a few days, and might not even have reached Yongbei yet, so why did she cry?

Qiao Nian made up her mind to find Jing Rou to ask clearly.

But it was already late today, and if Jing Rou wanted to say something today, she would have just said it.

Her heart was beating randomly, and there was no rhythm at all.

Qiao Nian thought, let's wait until tomorrow.

Tomorrow, she will find Jing Rou to ask clearly.

The next day, Qiao Nian got up early and prepared to find Jing Rou, but was told by Jing's mother that Jing Rou had gone out to work.

"Her brother said that he promised Chef Li of Zui Xiang Lou to help for a whole year. Now he has to go to suppress bandits and is not in Beijing, so he asked Rou'er to take his place for a while. Look, he left early in the morning!"

Helplessly, Qiao Nian could only wait for Jing Rou to come back.

But after working in the kitchen of Zui Xiang Lou for a day, Jing Rou came back exhausted, and went to bed after washing up, so Qiao Nian naturally didn't want to bother her.

In this way, after ten days, Qiao Nian didn't even have the chance to ask Jing Rou a question.

But her inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger. According to the time, Jing Yan should have fought with those bandits.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Qiao Nian became. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go to Zui Xiang Lou to find Jing Rou.

When she came, it was already afternoon.

The best business period at noon had passed. There were only a few tables of guests in Zui Xiang Lou. Qiao Nian thought Jing Rou shouldn't be busy at this time, so she explained her purpose to the shopkeeper.

Hearing that Qiao Nian was looking for Jing Rou, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "This, Miss Jing is not in the kitchen at the moment."

Qiao Nian frowned, and her intuition was wrong, "Then where is she?"

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, a quarrel was heard in the private room on the second floor.

The next moment, a man was pushed out of the private room and fell in the corridor in a mess.

It was Xu Huaqing!

Jing Rou's voice was full of savagery, coming from the private room, "What a rascal, you dare to pick a fight with me! If you can't afford to eat, you say there are bugs in the dishes. If you are not worthy of my sister-in-law, you say she is a slut. I think you are a slut, and your whole family is a slut!"

As the voice fell, a stool flew out of the private room and hit Xu Huaqing accurately.

Xu Huaqing's forehead was bleeding instantly.

However, Jing Rou walked out of the private room with her hands on her hips, staring at Xu Huaqing with sharp eyes, "I warn you, if I hear you say something bad about my sister-in-law again, I will beat you every time I see you!"

Xu Huaqing accidentally heard that Jing Yan's sister was in the kitchen a few days ago. Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered before, he decided to get back at Jing Rou.

So, he lied that there were bugs in the dishes, and insisted that the kitchen give an explanation, and called Jing Rou over.

But who would have thought that Jing Rou was so fierce and had some kung fu skills. Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was beaten so badly!

Xu Huaqing was so angry that he could not help but shout, "You, you dare to hit me! Just wait for me, I will have someone arrest you!"

Xu Huaqing was the illegitimate son of the Minister of Revenue. Although he was born to a concubine, it was easy for him to bully an ordinary citizen.

But who would have thought that a voice suddenly came, "Okay, I want to see how the Minister of Revenue will react after knowing this."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Huaqing turned his head and saw Qiao Nian standing at the stairs on the second floor, looking at him with a cold face, "Vice General Jing was ordered by the court to send troops to suppress bandits, but you bullied his family in Beijing. I want to ask the Minister of Revenue if he taught you this. I heard that the Minister of Revenue has also gained a lot of good things over the years?"

The position of the Minister of Hubu was a lucrative position, and she did not believe that the Minister of Hubu was not greedy at all.

Jing Rou didn't expect that Qiao Nian would suddenly appear in Zuixiang Tower. Thinking that her words to defend Qiao Nian just now were heard by her, she blushed slightly, frowned, and looked a little unnatural. .

And Xu Huaqing didn't expect that he would be bullied by the two sisters.

He thought that if this matter really came to his father's ears, he would inevitably be punished.

However, he was first beaten up by Jing Yan and was forced to stay in bed for half a month.

Now that I was bullied by these two women again, the more I thought about it, the more unconvinced I became.

Dang even said in a cold voice, "Ha! Miss Qiao hasn't even married into the Jing family yet, and she's already venting her anger on the Jing family? You don't think you can really marry Jing Yan, do you?"

Qiao Nian frowned and was about to say something when she saw Jing Rou raise her foot and kick Xu Huaqing, "Whether you marry or not, it has nothing to do with you!"

Xu Huaqing failed to escape and was kicked to the ground.

But he was not angry at all. On the contrary, as he spoke, he stood up in embarrassment, patted the dust on his body, and then sneered fiercely, "It's a pity, you will never be able to marry Jing Yan in this life, Jing Yan is dead." "
