"They are the subordinates of Xu Zhenxi, the tomb robber who was wandering over from the north. A while ago, these people dug up a few ancient tombs in Xiang City. According to his people, Xu Zhenxi is digging in the Xiang City while searching for something. " At this point, Lin Jun Mai gave Qiao Ruoxi a probing glance.

She lowered her eyelashes to hide her fear.

"These days, my men have noticed them wandering around Yanzhou Garden. I'm afraid they have their eyes on your father." Lin Jun Mai continued.

She didn't know if she should completely trust Lin Junkai, but the more silent she was, the more she thought about it.

When she went to find Lin Junmai, she had already subconsciously accepted that he was someone who could protect the Qiao family. However, her father, Qiao Qingya, was still wary of Lin Junmai.

"We father and daughter have nothing in our hands. They've got the wrong idea. " For the time being, Qiao Ruo Chu did not want to tell him the truth.

Lin Jun stared at her meaningfully for a moment.

"What happened last night?" She suddenly felt that she had messed up with him. She just wanted to know what happened last night and why those people died in the corner outside the Yan Garden.

"Last night my aide-de-camp drove through Yanzhou Garden, saw them sneaking in, thought they were thieves, and shot them dead. My aide-de-camp only shot because of my relationship with you. He didn't know the truth. " He looked at her.

When Lin Jun Mai talked seriously, he was extremely serious and charming, but Qiao Ruo was not in the mood to appreciate that last night's incident had frightened her.

"Did you order the Guardian Office to change the location to South Alley?" Qiao Ruoxi asked again.

Lin Junbai frowned.

"Said it would cause a panic near the house." he said slowly.

This was an excellent reason. Not only would it eliminate the panic of the residents to a certain extent, it would not increase the exposure of the Qiao family.

Qiao Ruozhu was very grateful to him.

"Can I go now?" she suggested.

She was blushing just now, but her downcast look made his heart itch. He had finally finished speaking and was about to leave, how could he be willing to do that?

As expected, a light smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Deputy Zhou has already told your father. Tonight, we will make a round room. Tomorrow, I will bring a gift to pay my respects to his father-in-law, Old Mount Tai. You can rest easy here."

Qiao Ruquan suddenly felt that Tian Tian shouldn't be called so senseless.

He wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

He reached for her ankle and pulled off her shoes.

She was wearing white stockings and her feet were slender.

He held it in his hand. His hand was warm and strong, and with a little force, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little intoxicated.

She cried out.

"Come, I'll send you back." Seeing her frightened, he laughed and let go.

When Qiao Ruoxi heard him say that he would take her home, she forgot everything. She quickly picked up her shoes and waited for him to open the door.

"Don't get too close to Gu Jun. I'll be angry." he added as they descended the stairs.

Afraid that he would change his mind, Qiao Ruo Chu hastily nodded her head and went back first.

Lin Jun Mai didn't go to see her off personally, but instead called for an adjutant to drive her back to the Yan Garden.

When she entered, Qiao Qingya was leaning on the sofa with a livid expression, his face had an indescribable grief.

Qiao Ruoxi did not know what Lin Junmai's aide-de-camp had told her at home, and her heart tightened.

"Father, I'm back." Shoes, she said timidly.

Auntie Yu walked over and sat beside Qiao Qingya, giving her a strange look.

"The people at headquarters said they wanted you to write the report. Is that true? " Qiao Qingya scrutinized his daughter, as he hoped to obtain an affirmative answer.

He hadn't expected that Lin Junyi's men would come up with such an excuse, which made sense to him.

"Well, yes." Qiao Ruo was not used to lying, and her face was flushed.

"Why did these warlords find female students to write essays when they have nothing better to do? It's not like they understand what's going on." Qiao Qingya was filled with righteous indignation, and despised Lin Junyi's group greatly.

"Yes, they are." Qiao Ruo Chu followed her father's words.

"Miss, have you eaten?" Sun Yiyi's mother came out of the kitchen and gave her a bowl of black fish bone soup.

Qiao Ruo had just received it, and happened to be hungry as she hadn't eaten anything in Lin Junyi's mansion.

"I want to eat some more." "No," she said.

When Qiao Qingya saw that his daughter had returned normally, he assumed that the people who were approaching the military headquarters were building a blueprint for the Royal Tomb. He didn't think about other things and only urged his daughter repeatedly to stay away from the people of the military and politics.

Qiao Ruo Chu replied seriously.

After a week of lessons, in the blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

It was autumn. The sky was high and blue with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms. There were people selling fresh red caltrops on the streets. It was the season for melilotus.

Aunt Yu brought her servants to pick a lot of melons and marinated them in sugar, waiting to be made into candy for the New Year's cake. She was extremely busy.

It was Qiao Ruo's sixteenth birthday. She felt like she had grown up a circle.

She had made five long sleeved gowns and bought a few dresses, including a long windbreaker and a short blouse. Auntie Yu had bought them for her.

It must have cost a lot of family money, she thought.

In the morning, Koo called to say that he would be back from Shanghai in a few days. He said on the phone that he missed her.

This made Qiao Ruo Chu feel rather embarrassed.

Xi Nuo's travels had stopped for a while. The newspaper said that he had gone out for a long trip and would continue to write another one when he got back.

Qiao Ruozhu envied him for his life and wrote him a letter.

The letter was not long, but it expressed her admiration.

In the afternoon, according to the address in the evening paper, she slept, took it out, and put it in the mailbox. She wondered if Xi Nuo would receive it, and whether he would reply.

Ever since the last time the three men who spied on her were shot, Qiao Ruo initially felt that she had become safer. When she went out, she no longer felt that someone was following her.

What she didn't know was that after Xu Zhenxi's man was killed, he went to the office in private to find Lin Junmai.

He said that many of his people had investigated and discovered that after his death, Qiao Sanmu's descendants had sneaked south. There was no one surnamed Qiao in Xiang City and Qiao Qingya had come from outside. It was very likely that he was related to Qiao Sanmu.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade him and him to join hands and attack the Qiao Family, to force them to ask if they had any of the descendants of Qiao Sanmu and if they had any plans for the construction of the Mausoleum of Books.

Actually, it was impossible for a craftsman to have the construction drawings of the Mausoleum of Qing. Usually, each person would only be in charge of one piece, and Qiao Sanmu was in charge of the later stage of the project. In other words, other people could use the blueprints in his hands to roughly guess the entrance to the Royal Tomb.

He brought Lin Jun Mai a few pieces of Song Dynasty porcelain that had just been dug out of an ancient tomb. One piece was clean and smooth, and although it was not the highest quality of the Ru kiln, it could still amaze the world if it was taken out.

Lin Junbai took a drag on his cigar and accepted the offer.

"It took me a lot of effort to get my eyes on a woman, but you f * cking told me that you had your eyes on her too." "He's not giving me any face at all." Lin Junmai looked at him and said with a cold, cruel look in his eyes.
