The Qiao Family members calmed down for a while.
Qiao Qingya said that he wanted to call Gu Jun to express his gratitude.
"Gu Jun?" Qiao Ruo Chu had forgotten about this matter.
"That's right, Chu'er. Since father told you about your matter, he immediately went to ask Xu Hongsheng for help." Otherwise, how could you come back so quickly? " Qiao Qingya's words were firm.
She remembered that before she was taken away by Lin Junyi, she had indeed sent Feng Yaner to find Gu Jun. Since her family had determined that it was Gu Jun's doing, then she might as well let things be like this.
Qiao Qingya gave Gu Jun a call and hung up without saying much. It was probably Gu Jun who said that he would come over immediately.
"If it was the beginning, it would have scared me to death." Feng Yaner sat down next to Qiao Ruo. She might have been crying for a long time, and her eyes were swollen.
"Don't be afraid, isn't he already back?" Qiao Ruoxi grabbed her small hand and comforted her.
The sun had set a little, and the world outside was a dazzling gold.
Outside the door, the clear sound of a car horn could be heard.
He was white, with wire-rimmed glasses, an elegant nose, red lips and white teeth, a white shirt, a pale gray vest, navy blue trousers, and a pair of shoes that were spotless.
With a Chinese and Western education, he looked refined and refined.
As he entered, the Qiao Family members' eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Young Noble Zhi, for saving my daughter from the clutches of the devil. Qiao Qingya will never forget Young Master Zhi's kindness. " Qiao Qingya enthusiastically stood up and invited Gu Jun to sit.
Gu Jun was also stunned for a moment. He had clearly called Xu Hongsheng and told him that the garrison headquarters had already been thrown into chaos. Who would still be in the mood to play with a woman?
"Uncle Qiao, I'm not …" He was about to explain.
"I was taken to headquarters, and they sent me back after a phone call." Qiao Ruoxi spoke up.
She didn't want to talk about Lin Junyi. That man was so dirty that she couldn't say it out loud.
Gu Jun understood. It was likely that Xu Hongsheng had secretly ordered the military officer to release Qiao Ruo Chu in order to cover up for him.
No matter what, it was good that he could return safely. He could finally let go of the worry in his heart.
"I heard Wu Shicheng was beaten to death by bandits?" Qiao Qingya asked with a tone full of ease. There was no need for him to flee.
Today, he really felt something called the Twin Fire and Ice Heavens. When he heard that Wu Shicheng had died, he almost sang out in joy. When he heard that his daughter had been taken away by the soldiers, he almost went to kill.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the bandits would make a move during the day, I think he was careless." Gu Jun and Qiao Qingya started to chat about current affairs.
"Haven't the bandits been annihilated? Why has there been a person seeking revenge for so many years? " Qiao Qingya had a stomach full of wonder.
Gu Jun shook his head. He didn't know either.
"The news of Governor Wu's death has probably reached the Nanjing government. I've heard that the troops and horses in the Xiang City are controlled by Chief of Staff Shen Junan. I estimate that he will ascend very soon." Gu Jun's gaze slightly wavered as he spoke in a neither painful nor itchy manner.
Qiao Qingya chuckled and nodded his head. It didn't really matter to him who went up on stage. In any case, it was you who sent me on stage. The outsiders only wanted to watch the show.
The sensation of Wu Zhicheng's death.
The entire city spent the rest of the day and night talking about how bandits were lying in bed and plotting to kill Lieutenant Wu, as if everyone had seen it.
Qiao Ruo Chu suspected that the bandits were a pretense.
She felt that the bandits in Dazhuang had been disguised by Lin Junmai and his men in order to create the illusion that the bandits were seeking revenge on Wu.
Perhaps he and Shen Junan colluded in the dark. He murdered Wu Shicheng in the name of a fake bandit, and Shen Junan seized Wu's troops and horses, taking over his territory.
Vicious and sinister, a small marten on the same hill. Qiao Ruozhu cursed silently.
Qiao Qingya cordially persuaded Gu Jun to stay and eat at the Qiao family's residence, but Gu Jun instead looked at Qiao Ruoxi.
"Let's eat at my place before coming back." Qiao Ruo Chu smiled. Her eyebrows were curved and her expression was sincere.
Ku Jun stayed behind.
This boy, he was still quite satisfied. Although he had not interacted much with him before, the Gu family's reputation had always been pretty good, and Gu Jun had also come back from studying in Denmark. In addition, this time, when Gu Jun saved him, Qiao Qingya had already treated him with respect.
If the Gu family proposed marriage, he would agree without hesitation.
Listening to her father and Gu Jun gossiping about current affairs for a while, Qiao Ruquan felt sticky all over. He got up and greeted her, then pulled Feng Yan Er upstairs.
"Ru Chu, it's good that you're fine. I'm going home soon." After taking a walk around Qiao Ruoxi's room, Feng Yan was ready to go home.
Qiao Ruo had just changed into a light green cotton dress. She rolled up her waist-length hair once more and turned her head to say in a spoiled manner, "Big sister Yan Er, you're not going to leave today, just accompany me."
Feng Yan Er gently smiled, "My home is still waiting for me to take care of my little brother and sister. How about you come to my house, and I'll take care of you as well, and coax you to sleep."
Qiao Ruo Chu pouted like a flower petal. "Fine, I'll let you go."
After saying so, she went downstairs with Feng Yan Er, asking Meng Ma to bring some refreshments for her younger siblings. Yan Er was a frequent guest of the family, and the Qiao Family didn't have much respect for her, treating her like a relative.
Qiao Ruo Chu escorted her out of the house. She only turned around to return after seeing her in the rickshaw.
Inside the living room, Gu Jun and Qiao Qingya were chatting passionately. Qiao Ruo didn't want to disturb them, so she went into the kitchen to watch Mama Meng cook.
"Are you scared today?" Mama Meng asked him with concern as she picked vegetables.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded.
"Can Mommy make crab powder and lion heads?" Remembering the dishes she had eaten in Lin Jun Mai's villa, she couldn't forget.
Mother Meng awkwardly shook her head, "I can also do it. It's just that this dish is especially delicious. If it's not well done, it'll be hard to swallow."
Qiao Ruo Chu looked at her apologetically. The crab powder lion head was a famous dish in Huai Yang. There was a secret recipe, so it shouldn't be easy to make. He really shouldn't make things difficult for the servants at home.
Mama Meng cooked the chicken, steamed bass, fried three fresh vegetables, celery shredded meat, duck blood soup, and even baked the egg tart. It was quite sumptuous.
When she served food to Mama Meng, Gu Jun was surprised. "Ruo Ruo is so virtuous at first."
She had eaten her fill at noon today, and even now, she was not hungry at all. She wanted to digest everything she had found, and it was not every day that she would be so virtuous.
Qiao Qingya thought that he would purposely show off in front of the Gu Clan's Young Master when he saw his daughter like this. His face was full of smiles, and he was laughing extremely heartily.
