Chapter 159 Capable
"The Crown Prince has already begun investigating the Fourth Prince." Lu Yunxu said.
"The Fourth Prince is quite secretive in his actions. I have found some clues here, but we need to continue investigating to get solid evidence."
Qiao Jinlan looked at Lu Yunxu thoughtfully: "You have to be careful."
Lu Yunxu smiled proudly: "Don't worry, I'm very cautious."
Qiao Jinlan smiled trustingly: "Well, I believe you won't expose yourself."
"Let's eat first. You still have work to do in the afternoon, right?"
"Yes, there is a case to investigate this afternoon." Lu Yunxu said happily, and seemed to casually talk to Qiao Jinlan about some official matters that could be disclosed to the public.
Just to let her know how capable he is.
Lu Yunxu enjoyed this meal very much.
After dinner, Qiao Jinlan fell into deep thought as she watched Lu Yunxu leave happily.
He is really powerful. The Fourth Prince wanted to fight for that position, so everything he did was extremely secretive.
After all, if that matter were to be exposed, it would be fatal.
But Lu Yunxu was able to find clues...Qiao Jinlan frowned slightly, the things in this book were really strange.
A powerful character like Lu Yunxu is not the male protagonist, but instead a cannon fodder who dies tragically.
A shameless and incompetent guy like Lu Liangyi became the male protagonist.
I feel like there’s something wrong with this world’s three perspectives.
If there really are gods controlling this world, are those gods... blind?
When she thought of the gods, Qiao Jinlan felt a surge of anger in her heart for some reason.
She seemed to dislike the gods of this world very much.
Is it because she doesn't believe this?
However, in her previous life, she didn't believe it either, but she definitely didn't feel disgusted.
Qiao Jinlan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. No matter what, Lu Liangyi had already been exiled. Once Qiao Jiaojiao was completely dealt with, her fate as a cannon fodder would probably change.
Then, she can live her own free life.
In this era, it is not difficult for her to gain a foothold with her abilities.
Lu Yunxu had no idea that his wife was already planning to leave. He went back happily and continued to intensify his efforts to investigate the Fourth Prince.
The sooner the Fourth Prince is brought down, the sooner his wife can see his abilities.
They have their own things to do, and the Qiao family also has their own things to do.
"Jiaojiao, my darling daughter, you really make me proud!" Qiao Yuanhui couldn't think more highly of his own daughter.
He has loved Jiaojiao since she was a child, and it was really worth it.
"Look at you, you saved the Fourth Prince, why didn't you tell your parents about it when you came back?" Qiao Yuanhui asked puzzledly.
If he had known about this earlier, wouldn't it have been better for him to make some preparations?
Qiao Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "When I saved someone, I didn't know that person was the Fourth Prince."
"Besides, it's just a favor, it's not a big deal, so I didn't think of coming back to tell my parents."
Qiao Yuanhui clapped his hands and sighed: "Look, look, our daughter's character is really excellent!"
"No wonder the Fourth Prince is so discerning and sees the good in our Jiaojiao."
Tian smiled with relief and said, "Of course, our Jiaojiao has always been so nice, but..."
Tian's face changed, and she said angrily: "The Lu family is blind and can't see the good of our Jiaojiao."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Jiaojiao marry into the Lu family. Otherwise, Jiaojiao would have been the principal wife now."
Tian was so regretful.
Jiaojiao has been married once, so there is no way she can become the fourth prince's wife.
It’s really a big loss.
"Mom, it's okay." Qiao Jiaojiao smiled and comforted, "I didn't enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion for any reason."
"I just think that the Fourth Prince is someone who knows how to repay kindness and can be relied upon."
"Now that I have a good home, I can also help my family so that my parents and grandmother don't have to live such a hard life anymore."
"Master, look, our Jiaojiao is still the sensible one." Tian looked at Qiao Yuanhui excitedly.
Qiao Yuanhui nodded: "You are my only good daughter!"
"As for the rest... humph."
Qiao Yuanhui had no intention of recognizing Qiao Jinlan.
Qiao Jiaojiao talked with Qiao Yuanhui, Tian and others for a while and then went back to her room.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't get used to living in this shabby and narrow house.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to stay for too long. As soon as the Fourth Prince is ready, he will take her into the palace.
As for the life-saving grace that the Fourth Prince came up with, it was just an excuse for external purposes.
If not, how could she enter the Fourth Prince's palace with good reason?
I have to say that the Fourth Prince is quite fast.
At the same time, the Fourth Prince specially arranged a betrothal gift to show his respect for Qiao Jiaojiao, his savior.
Although Qiao Jiaojiao was carried in a sedan chair, this did not prevent Qiao Yuanhui from preparing a banquet at home to entertain guests.
When Qiao Jiaojiao entered the Fourth Prince's residence, the most panicked person was Su Yunxia.
Su Yunxia was extremely nervous.
What if the plot against Qiao Jiaojiao that day was discovered?
Su Yunxia was fidgeting.
"My Lord, do you think Qiao Jiaojiao will know?" Su Yunxia hadn't slept well for several days. She was worried all day, afraid that Qiao Jiaojiao would come to settle the score with her.
"How could she know?" Anyang Hou said coldly, "The person is already dead. Even if she has some guesses, where can she find evidence?"
He had already secretly sent someone to deal with the man who had committed adultery with Qiao Jiaojiao.
The people are dead, so the investigation will never lead to them.
"I never thought that Qiao Jiaojiao would be able to hook up with the Fourth Prince one day." Su Yunxia gritted her teeth in anger, "If she had this ability earlier, she would have established a good relationship with the Fourth Prince earlier. Why would our Yi'er be exiled?"
These illogical words sounded so natural when spoken by Su Yunxia.
But Marquis Anyang still thought that Su Yunxia was right.
They hated Qiao Jiaojiao, and after Qiao Jiaojiao entered the Fourth Prince's mansion, she told the Fourth Prince the location of the treasure.
"Your Highness, I have told you everything. I just hope you can protect me." Qiao Jiaojiao said weakly.
"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope to have a place to stay."
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were red, and she said pitifully: "What happened that day was a conspiracy against me. I know nothing about it."
"If it weren't for your protection, Your Highness, I really wouldn't be able to survive outside."
What options are there for a divorced woman?
This is also the reason why she had to take the risk to get close to the Fourth Prince.
"Don't worry, since you have helped me accomplish great things, I will naturally not treat you badly." The Fourth Prince promised.
If Qiao Jiaojiao had the ability to dream about the future, he would certainly treat her well.
But it's just about supporting a woman, he can still do it.
