Chapter 172 Big Sister Still Refuses to Recognize Me
"Miss Que took the trouble to treat Chengwang, so Chengwang should be held responsible for clearing her name."
Qiao Chengwang's eyes were open, "She is a good girl, it is Chengwang's fortune to be with her.
But as Doctor Leper said, if Chengwang's leg remains unhealed, it would be a real injustice to her."
Does this mean that he is willing to marry Su Que, but is just worried that he cannot recover and is not worthy of Su Que?
Laibajiao stared at him for a long time, and finally snorted, "Didn't my silly daughter say that she has a lifetime to treat you?
This is my only daughter, and for her sake, I will do everything in my power to heal you."
At first he was worried that Qiao Chengwang looked down on Su Que, but now Qiao Chengwang's words did not sound false.
While feeling relieved, he also felt a bit sad. Qiao Chengwang was afraid that he had developed feelings for his daughter.
It was also true that a young boy who had never had any contact with a woman was suddenly taken care of so carefully by a young woman.
As long as you are not a wooden lump, you will not remain indifferent.
What's more, his Su Que is such a good child.
Poor old father, he has only known his daughter for a short time.
The barefoot man felt even more sad.
"Don't you mind Su Que's damaged appearance?"
Qiao Chengwang laughed.
Even though he looked so miserable when he was rescued that day, Su Que never despised him and took the initiative to treat him.
What right did he have to despise her?
Besides, "Chengwang doesn't think there's anything wrong with Miss Que's appearance."
Although Lai Chijiao felt heartbroken every time he saw the cracks on Su Que's face, in his heart, his daughter was still the most beautiful.
Hearing Qiao Chengwang say this, he felt a little happy and did not doubt his words.
Because he had observed Qiao Chengwang for a long time, he had never seen him show any displeasure or pity or sympathy towards Su Que's appearance.
Then he asked the last question, "Is it okay with you guys that I'll follow you from now on?"
Sooner or later, the cabbage will be taken away by someone else. He can't bear to let it go, so he just follows the cabbage.
Seeing that he seemed to have settled down, Qiao Chengwang hesitated and asked, "Uncle Lai, have you asked Miss Que what she thinks?"
Lai Chijiao glanced at him dimly, and even changed his words to uncle. This kid must have anticipated his purpose today.
But his daughter will eventually get married, so it is better to choose a reliable one. He trusts his own judgment.
He waved his hand and said, "Marriage is a serious matter, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
The reason why he said this today was because he noticed that Su Que, who always covered her face with a veil, had already taken off her veil in front of Qiao Chengwang.
She felt very comfortable with him.
Earth-shaking love is rare, and freedom is even rarer.
Su Que is still a naive person, and always feels that others look down on her. It is unknown when she will agree, and a good man has to be snatched away.
Even if he cannot become a powerful official in the future, he will not be any worse off with the Princess of Xinjiang as his sister.
He just said something very right: power can protect people.
If he had been powerful in the past, Zhi Niang would not have been killed and their family would not have been broken up.
Su Que had no idea that her marriage had been decided by Lai Chijiao. She searched the small house for him but couldn't find him.
Thinking that Lai Chijiao had returned to Qiao's house through the secret passage, he followed him to Qiao's house, but unexpectedly he saw Qiao Xi fighting with someone.
To be precise, a dozen people dressed as barbarians were besieging Qiao Xi.
Su Que complained, "Brother, there are so many of them beating up my sister-in-law, and you don't do anything about it?"
"They are no match for your sister-in-law."
Su Heting responded to her, but his eyes were on Xia.
He smiled and said, "What does the Queen think?"
She said she wanted to visit the Qiao family, but when she saw Qiao Xi, she started to take action. Su Heting was sure that Xia Ya wanted to live in the Qiao family because of Qiao Xi.
Xia raised her hand, "Alright, if you continue fighting, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself. Back off."
The guards bowed and left.
She looked at Qiao Xi, "Your martial arts skills didn't come from the Qiao family."
When Qiao Xi heard that Xiya insisted on living in the Qiao family, and punished the emperor's spy Su Yingqiu, she also said that she wanted to go to the Qiao family ancestral hall.
She began to have a glimmer of hope, wondering if Xia was the big sister.
Otherwise, why would the barbarian queen move into the Qiao family, which had been abandoned for a long time?
But Xia had a high nose and deep eyes, a typical barbarian appearance, and although she was proficient in disguise, she could not see any trace of Xia's disguise.
Qiao Xi felt a little disappointed, but after hearing this, she felt a glimmer of hope again.
"The Queen knows the Qiao family well?"
Xia is a woman, and there is no precedent of women joining the army among the barbarians. So how did she know about the Qiao family's martial arts?
"My father was General Shatan's right-hand man. He died at the hands of General Joe's spear."
Xia looked at Qiao Xi, "Miss Qiao, do you think I should know something about the Qiao family's martial arts?"
Qiao Xi met her gaze and asked, "Then, Queen, are you here to avenge your father, or to fulfill your promise to my husband?"
"My father's revenge must be avenged."
Xia turned towards the palace and said, "However, the Shatan Army, like the Qiao Family, both follow the orders of the king. I think I shouldn't seek revenge on the Qiao Family.
I wonder what Miss Qiao thinks about this? Do you know who your real enemy is?
Qiao Xi took a step closer and stared into Xia's eyes, trying to find a hint of familiarity in them.
However, there is nothing.
“As the Queen said, the Shatan family and the Qiao family have been fighting for many years because of their different positions.
The real enemies of my Qiao family are Emperor Dayou and the Barbarian Royal Family. Now that the Barbarian Royal Family has been overthrown, only Emperor Dayou is left.
Isn't it for this very purpose that the Queen came to Dayou this time?"
She took another step forward. "Or does the Queen have other plans?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly attacked.
Xia was caught off guard and quickly dodged. Qiao Xi slapped her again, but Xia still didn't attack. Instead, the little prince faced Qiao Xi.
Seeing this, Qiao Xi reduced his strength a little.
The little prince was considered a leader among children of the same age, but he was subdued by Qiao Xi after only three moves.
Qiao Xi looked at his appearance and found that his eyebrows and eyes were not as deep as the queen's, but instead looked a bit like Dayou.
Even the chin and lip shape looked familiar.
Qiao Xi raised her hand to cover the upper part of the little prince's face, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
The lower half of the little prince's face actually looks a bit like his older brother.
She glanced at Xia Ya and saw that her features were calm, yet also a bit bewildered. Qiao Xi became uncertain again.
“When the Qiao family encountered trouble, my fourth brother was the same age as the little prince.
General Chatan had promised not to kill soldiers under the age of ten, but all my cousins died in that battle.
My eldest brother was hacked in the back while trying to protect them. This blood feud must be avenged."
She looked at Xia without blinking, paying attention to her every micro-expression.
Fifteen years have passed since her eldest brother passed away. She has experienced past and present lives again. She is worried that she may have remembered her eldest brother's appearance wrongly, but she also hopes that her eldest sister is still alive, hoping to make her hallucinate.
If Ruo Xiya is the eldest sister, how could she not recognize her?
"But I heard that you are the commander of the secret factory of Emperor Dayou and are loyal to him."
Xia said, "Although my king has promised the King of Jiangbei to help you identify Emperor Dayou, this matter is of great importance. I need to confirm which side you are on."
But when she asked so directly, she was sure that Qiao Xi was not the emperor's person.
Qiao Xifu was deeply moved. "The news about the queen is delayed. Although I was once the commander of the secret factory, it was because the emperor tampered with my memory and made me mistake my enemy for my benefactor.
Now that my memory has been restored, I will certainly demand that he pay with blood. Otherwise, why would your husband bring you to see me?"
"But weren't you abducted by the King of Northern Xinjiang? Why does it sound like you two have a pretty good relationship?"
It was the little prince who asked the question.
He looked up at Qiao Xi.
No matter how precocious a child is, he is still just a child after all, and his eyes cannot hide things as well as those of an adult.
Qiao Xi looked into his eyes and explained, "After the death of the late Crown Prince, my memory was tampered with, and my every word and action was under the Emperor's surveillance.
If I hadn't pretended to be abducted by the King of Xinjiang North, how could I have plotted revenge behind his back?"
The little prince nodded like a grown-up, "So that's how it is."
Then Qiao Xi said again, "If not, how can I rescue Fourth Brother?"
There was finally a crack on Xia's always calm face.
The little prince quickly turned to look at Xia, "Mother."
There was a hint of joy in his eyes that his fourth uncle was still alive.
Qiao Xi took it all in, her eyes full of light, "Sister, don't you recognize me?"
