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

Chapter 539 The Qiao Family’s Biggest Secret Was Almost Leaked

"By the way, Lan'er, we have family in faraway Yuezhou. They will be here tomorrow. They are your grandparents, your second uncle and your second aunt. They want to see you." said Dameng.

"It's really hard for them to come here with all the trouble. I just hope they can like me." Du Qinglan said.

Qiao Dameng's heart moved, and he almost told Du Qinglan about Qiao Jianer's special abilities.

But he immediately thought of what Qiao Jianer said, that this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, even if a knife was held to his neck, he must not tell anyone except his family.

Even Pei Qingrong didn't know it yet. She was too lively and was afraid that she would accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Du Qinglan was an extremely astute person and did not miss his hesitation to speak.

"Brother Da Meng, what did you want to say just now?"

"I, too, don't have any left. I want you to eat more, but then I think about your poor appetite."

Du Qinglan could tell that he was lying.

She had a feeling that what Da Meng almost said was very important.

But for some reason, there was no way out.

She pushed him away, turned away, pouted, and frowned.

It was the first time that Da Meng saw Du Qinglan like this, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"

As he spoke, he pulled her over, only to see that Du Qinglan's eyes were red and she was about to cry.

He looked aggrieved.

Da Meng's heart felt like it was crushed by something, and he felt a sharp pain. He became at a loss and wiped the corners of her eyes clumsily.

"Lan'er, don't cry. I'm here. Tell me everything you have. I'm willing to do anything for you."

"Brother Da Meng, didn't you say that you would never lie to me or deceive me?"

"Yes, I said it, it absolutely comes from the heart." Da Meng raised his hand and almost swore immediately.

"Okay, then tell me. You clearly wanted to say something to me just now, but why didn't you say it? You even said you wouldn't hold back from me."

Du Qinglan seemed determined to persist.

Da Meng just woke up in shock. What happened to Jian'er was closely related to the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Qiao family, so he couldn't reveal a single word of it, no matter how much he loved Du Qinglan.

Even if he dies, it is not allowed.

So, he lowered his head with some guilt: "Lan'er, you believe in my determination to spend my life with you. I shouldn't hide anything from you, and I will never hide it from you. But not everything is suitable for you to know, including some military secrets and the internal affairs of the Qiao family. When you get married, I promise that you will know as much as the other members of the Qiao family."

He grabbed Du Qinglan's hand again: "Lan'er, please forgive me this time."

Du Qinglan took a deep breath, feeling rather unwilling, but she knew that if she continued to ask questions without giving up, it would probably cause Qiao Dameng's objection.

She had finally gotten this far, and now she had to learn to quit while she was ahead.

Du Qinglan nodded gently: "I know, Brother Da Meng, some things are not convenient to say, but it does not mean that you don't love me. No one has ever treated me so well like you do. I also need to be more considerate of you."

"Just now, I shouldn't have—"

"Lan'er, you're not wrong. You just want to know more about me."

The tense atmosphere between the two of them just now disappeared, and they continued to be affectionate with each other.

During this period, Qiao Jian'er had been observing the eldest prince's movements. However, the eldest prince had been in the mansion, enjoying himself with his concubines.

She always felt that the eldest prince acted like this to avoid something.

Because she had asked the crown prince, the eldest prince was diligent and spent most of his time reading every day, and sometimes he even got annoyed by the interruptions of his concubines.

But over time, the eldest prince has become different. There is always a reason for a person's sudden change.

Qiao Jian'er pondered. Now that the eldest prince was colluding with people like Deputy General Chen Pangda, if the Qiao family was finished, these tens of thousands of elite soldiers who had been trained with great effort would probably fall into their hands.

"It's so boring, it's like this every day." The eldest prince suddenly pushed the concubine in his arms away and yawned boredly.

He's going to get moldy waiting for so long.

"Your Highness, would you like to go out and relax? There is a new theater that has opened, and the plays they are putting on are very good." An attendant leaned over and made a suggestion.

"Wait two more days." said the eldest prince.

Qiao Jianer got the useful information and left.

The next day, she went to Datian Village to pick up the Qiao family.

I heard that Dameng had a girl he liked, and she was very pretty, so everyone wanted to see her with their own eyes.

The most excited ones were the two elders.

"We said it was Da Meng's turn. I didn't expect Da Meng to be so successful. He even found a good girl that the whole family is satisfied with. Our Qiao family's grandchildren don't need the elders to worry about them."

Old Mrs. Qiao took out a pair of furry gloves she had embroidered herself. "They were originally for Jian'er, but they were a little small. Qinglan has a slender figure, so they are perfect for her."

Jian'er was growing rapidly and had grown a lot without realizing it, but her memory was still stuck in the past.

Qiao Lian'er looked at the gloves. There was a thick layer of white velvet inside, and the satin was embroidered with willow branches and flying birds. The color was light crimson. Although Old Mrs. Qiao's eyesight had been poor for a long time, she made the gloves so well, and she put a lot of thought into it.

"Jian'er, don't take it to heart. You see, they're a little hard for you to wear. Grandma will make you another pair." Old Mrs. Qiao said, holding Qiao Jian'er's hand.

If the sickle is suitable, she will never give it to anyone else.

Looking at the old man with cloudy eyes, Qiao Jianer felt sad and under great pressure.

She was the only one in the family who knew that Du Qinglan was suspicious, but she didn't dare to tell her family.

Because there was no clear evidence, if she reminded her family, she would appear like a gossip and would also hurt Da Meng's feelings.

There was a commotion at the door.

"Sister Kamaer is back, let's go see Sister Kamaer."

Qiao Lian'er could tell that it was Fusheng, Lu'er and the others.

As usual, she prepared a fruit plate, put some sugar cakes on it, and took it out.

In three years, they have grown a lot taller and bigger, and their eyes are not as eager when looking at snacks, but they still happily grab a handful.

But I felt even more admiration for Qiao Jianer.

She is both a princess and a general, it's really shocking.

"Sister Jianer, are you always in the capital?" Le Liang asked.

"Yes, I have a fiefdom in the capital, and I want to manage it." Qiao Jianer still invited them in. It had been a long time since she had chatted with these children.

A Cang's cheeks were bulging with stuff. "Sister Kama'er, do you still need soldiers in your fiefdom? We want to serve under you."

The other children nodded as well.

"We want to follow Sister Kama'er for the rest of our lives."
