Chapter 129: Money over People
"Qiao Jinlan, what are you doing?" Tian was anxious and shouted, "Someone, come quickly, pull her away!"
Before the maids and servants rushed over, Qiao Jinlan had already let go of her hand, smiled slightly, and took two steps back.
She slowly straightened the wrinkles on her sleeves, but her eyes were always looking at Qiao Yuanhui with a half-smile.
Just that faint smile made Qiao Yuanhui's heart tighten uncomfortably, as if there was an invisible shackle around his neck, strangling him and making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Master, Master..." Tian seemed to be distressed as she supported Qiao Yuanhui, but in fact she was just fanning the flames, "Master, you must not get hurt."
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"No matter what, the master is still your father!"
Qiao Yuanhui's heart was filled with anger and he stared at Qiao Jinlan viciously.
Yes!
He is her biological father, does she really dare to kill him?
Qiao Jinlan straightened her sleeves and said slowly, "I don't care. I'm alone anyway. At worst, I can kill you and I'll pay for your life."
"My husband's family won't be delayed in anything without me. But your family, without you... who will they rely on in the future?"
Qiao Jinlan's words made Tian and others change their expressions and feel a little scared.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Qiao Jinlan really gives it her all, they really will be helpless.
Qiao Jinlan ignored the Qiao family members who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and sat back down, took a sip of tea, and then said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't try to kidnap me from the moral high ground. I won't buy it."
"At worst, we'll both die together. I'm not afraid anyway."
Qiao Yuanhui had prepared a lot of words, but now he had no suitable words to say.
He never expected that Qiao Jinlan would do this.
The oil and salt are not allowed to enter.
Qiao Jiaojiao kept winking at Tian, and Tian gently tugged at Qiao Yuanhui's sleeve, silently urging him.
Qiao Yuanhui thought about what Qiao Jiaojiao said and knew that he had to think of a solution today no matter what. Otherwise, Jiaojiao would have a hard time staying in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Bring some silver here." Qiao Yuanhui ordered in a deep voice.
Qiao Jinlan smiled and looked at Qiao Yuanhui as if he were a fool: "Don't talk in your sleep like this in the future."
"You..." Qiao Yuanhui wanted to curse again, but his loud voice caused pain in his neck, which instantly halted his arrogance.
Tian said with resentment: "Miss, we are all family after all. Now that our family is in trouble, you should at least help."
"Help?" Qiao Jinlan said with a smile, "I don't have the ability to do so, let alone the obligation to do so."
"All the good things have been given to Qiao Jiaojiao, and now you have something to ask me? What sweet dreams are you having?"
"Something's going on. Go find your precious daughter!"
"She can't take all the benefits and give nothing in return. If that happens, you, father, will end up with an ungrateful person."
Qiao Jiaojiao listened to Qiao Jinlan's words, which became more and more unpleasant. She said unhappily, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Of course I feel sorry for my parents."
Qiao Jinlan sneered, "They are so distressed that they ask me for money, but I don't ask you?"
"You are the wife of the prince."
Qiao Jiaojiao gritted her teeth in anger. If Qiao Jinlan and Lin hadn't taken all the money away, would her life be so difficult now?
"Sister, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? You know the situation of Anyang Marquis's Mansion best." Qiao Jiaojiao said uncomfortably.
As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Yuanhui with concern and said in a sad voice, "If I had the ability, I would definitely help my father."
"It's a pity that my life is not so good now."
"Since father has come to us to ask for help, it must be that there is really no other way."
"As children, we should naturally share our father's worries."
"Sister, what do you think?"
Qiao Jiaojiao threw the question to Qiao Jinlan, who sighed and shook her head, "Sister, look at what you said. If you want money, how can you not have a way?"
"Everyone knows that the prince is sincere to you, and Lu Lianghui respects you especially. If you want money, your husband doesn't have it, but your sister does."
"The wife of the Crown Prince of Changyuan Marquis's Mansion...how could she be without money?"
"I heard that the prince of Changyuan Marquis dotes on her to the sky, and would rather give her the stars than the moon."
Qiao Jiaojiao frowned: "My sister is already married, how can I ask her for money?"
"That's right, I'm already married, how can you ask me for money?" Qiao Jinlan asked with a chuckle.
Qiao Jiaojiao's face changed, and she said hurriedly: "That's different, it's not like the Anyang Marquis's Mansion needs money."
"Then I can't do anything about it." Qiao Jinlan spread her hands, "I don't have any money anyway."
"When I got married, my dowry was all pieced together. Fortunately, my mother-in-law didn't mind. Otherwise, if it were someone else's family, I would never be able to hold my head up high in my husband's family."
"Come to think of it, father, when you were able to gain a foothold in the capital, you used all the money my mother brought from her family."
Qiao Yuanhui couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and cursed directly: "Get lost, get lost, get lost! I knew you were useless."
"I shouldn't have asked you to come back!"
Qiao Jinlan sneered: "Now that you know, don't make such a stupid mistake next time."
"Since everything is fine, I'll leave." After saying this, Qiao Jinlan stood up gracefully and left.
Her leisurely appearance made Qiao Yuanhui so angry that he pointed at her back and trembled so much that he couldn't speak.
"Master, master, calm down, calm down..." Tian hurriedly tried to calm Qiao Yuanhui down. She was really afraid that something might happen to Qiao Yuanhui and she would be left without support.
Qiao Yuanhui finally managed to catch his breath and sat down on the chair exhausted: "Tell me, how could I have given birth to such a thing?"
"Master, the eldest lady has always misunderstood us. It is understandable that she would behave like this." Tian said virtuously.
Qiao Yuanhui sighed: "If she had a little bit of heart, she would be able to feel how good you are to her."
"Jiaojiao, I really have no idea about the money. I still owe a lot of foreign debts, and Qiao Jinlan refuses to pay... Sigh..."
Qiao Yuanhui sighed heavily, and was worried that his daughter would be embarrassed: "What Qiao Jinlan said just now is not without reason."
"You can go and ask Lu Lianghui for a try. The Changyuan Marquis's Mansion is rich."
Qiao Jiaojiao pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay, Dad, I'll try when I get back. Your daughter has made things difficult for you."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to endure your sister's anger."
Qiao Yuanhui waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you. She doesn't consider us as a family now. She married into a rich family and forgot about us relatives."
"What a bastard who only cares about money and not people!"
