Chapter 555: If the Qiao Family Doesn’t Kill You, You Won’t Survive
When Old Mrs. Qiao thought of what happened back then, her eyes became hot and she turned her head away.
Du Qinglan looked at Qiao Xier, Pei Qingrong and the others again: "I want to stay with you, do needlework, chat and laugh, and spend the time like this, and the whole day will pass by unknowingly."
Du Qinglan's gaze finally fell on Qiao Jian'er. "And you, I saw it from the beginning. You were wary of me, but you're also so formidable. I admire you. With you protecting this family, we're not afraid of any storm. I also want to live under your protection."
She laughed sadly, "But I don't have such a good fate. I, Du Qinglan, am destined to live with the responsibility of my family and to die for the innocence of my family."
"Yes, you gave me a chance, and I almost wavered, but I'm weak and timid. I don't dare to make a new choice. I'm afraid that I won't be able to predict the direction of things, and I can't bear any changes."
"Only by following the original plan can I have a better chance of success. To redress the Du family's injustice, I am trembling with fear and treading on thin ice with every step."
"You can trust no one in the Qiao family, not even me." Qiao Dameng clenched his fists and almost roared.
"As long as you stop in time, I can do anything for you, but you don't believe me at all."
Hearing Du Qinglan say that she was almost shaken, he felt an endless surge of anger and hatred in his heart. She could have taken this step and the situation would not have ended like this, but she didn't.
She insisted on forcing the Qiao family and herself into a dead end.
"It's too late to say anything now." Du Qinglan's face, as pale as paper, showed no trace of life.
"I've said what I need to say, and I've expressed what I need to express. You can kill me or chop me up, but I deserve it."
After saying that, Du Qinglan closed her eyes, ready to be killed.
The Qiao family hated her so much, but they couldn't bear to kill Du Qinglan at this moment.
After all, there were so many warm interactions and so many beautiful expectations in the past.
Du Qinglan is weak and comes from a miserable family.
For a moment, the air in the lobby seemed to stop flowing and it was cold and stiff.
Forgiveness is impossible, and killing him is something I just can't bring myself to do.
Everyone is still waiting for Qiao Jianer to make a decision.
"Even if the Qiao family doesn't kill you, you won't be able to survive. Go back and make your own decision." Qiao Jianer said.
“People are responsible for what they have done.”
Yes, the plan failed, and the eldest prince would never let Du Qinglan go.
She placed a doll in the eldest prince's room, but this was not enough to bring down the eldest prince, it just made him suffer a little.
After hearing this, Du Qinglan silently got up from the ground. Her knee was injured, and she struggled for a long time before she could barely stand up.
Then he gritted his teeth and walked out the door step by step, his slender back looking depressed and lonely.
If it were any other time, seeing her like this, the Qiao family would have been heartbroken.
But at this moment, thinking of the sin she had committed, everyone's face turned cold.
Da Meng looked at Du Qinglan's figure, complex emotions intertwined in his blood-red eyes.
He even blamed himself. If he had known earlier that Du Qinglan had such a family background and asked Jianer to take action, he would not have to face everything today.
"Da Meng, let her go. There's no need to worry about or sympathize with people like her," said Old Man Qiao.
They couldn't stab the knife into Du Qinglan's heart with their own hands, but that didn't mean they couldn't accept Du Qinglan's death.
If Jianer hadn't made preparations in advance, what would have happened to the Qiao family now?
I'm afraid they have all been arrested one by one, their property confiscated, and their houses sealed. In a few days, the entire Qiao family will be executed. This news will spread throughout the capital, causing everyone to curse and applaud. After all, treason is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven.
Qingfeng's original territory and 30,000 hard-trained soldiers will also fall into the hands of others.
This is so shocking that it makes me shudder just thinking about it.
Qiao Dameng's face was dazed, his eyes were empty, and he had lost the strength to speak. This was the first girl he fell in love with. He gave her all his sincerity and passion, but he didn't expect it to be a farce.
All he wanted now was a good night's sleep, hoping that when he woke up, this would be nothing more than a nightmare.
Du Qinglan was still waiting for him in the small courtyard. There was a stove beside her. She was either embroidering or reading. It was so quiet.
"I'd better go take a look." Da Meng also stood up, his lips trembling: "I'll see her off."
He staggered out without waiting for the Qiao family to speak.
Qiao Jianer ordered several of Da Meng's close-combat soldiers to follow.
This time, the Qiao family couldn't be happy at all. The crisis had been resolved and the evildoers were about to be punished. This was a good thing that made everyone happy.
But they were all angry and upset.
Because of her sincerity, she was teased, and her hopes for a happy marriage for Da Meng were shattered.
Not to mention Da Meng, they still find it difficult to accept this matter.
This is why, even though Du Qinglan committed a heinous crime, Qiao Jianer chose to give her a chance.
Seeing her family members like this, she felt very heavy-hearted.
Mrs. Lu held her chest and said, "My poor Da Meng, my poor Da Meng." As she spoke, her face was already covered with tears.
"Everyone, please go away and do what you need to do." Qiao Lian'er took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, only to find that the tea had gone cold without him noticing.
It's time for her to take the next step.
When everyone gets together like this, the atmosphere becomes depressing, and over time, it will affect everyone's physical and mental health.
It would be better to focus on the business and let everything that just happened begin to pass.
"Jian'er, is there anything else?" Old Mrs. Qiao felt something.
"The person who did this was not only Du Qinglan, but also the eldest prince, Pang Da, and Deputy General Chen."
"So, it's not just Du Qinglan who will be punished."
"Uncle, Third Uncle, go to the fiefdom and dispatch more people, and hurry up."
"Brother Dacheng, go find Master Pei and ask him to mobilize more imperial guards."
After resolving this crisis, the Qiao family was even more convinced of Qiao Jianer.
Never question a single word she said, a single command she gave, just follow it, and you will never go wrong.
Then Qiao Jianer sent his eldest uncle and third uncle to their fiefdoms first, and the two of them immediately dispatched elite cavalry.
The eldest prince searched all the way, and at this time, the inner army headquarters was in sight from afar.
Although he was heading in this direction, he also had to act and could not go directly to the military office, otherwise his purpose would be too obvious.
Da Meng quickly stepped into the alley and almost ran into the yard.
"Lan'er."
Even though he hated it so much, the first thing that came out of his mouth was still her nickname.
