Qiao Tian Chang and the rest made it clear that they came for revenge. With the help of Tong Bao Zhai, the three families were simply powerless to save their business.
But how were those from Tong Bao Zhai related to Qiao Tian Chang? Or do they have a connection with Ning Meng Yao? If it was the latter, then when did she come across them, and why didn"t he know about it?
Several questions followed after one another, and Ming Fang couldn"t help but said: “Master, Concubine Xiao…”
Upon hearing Xiao Zi Xuan’s name, Ling Luo’s eyes flashed an obvious disgust. In order to become the heir of his family, he failed to live up to Ning Meng Yao"s expectations. Now, because of Xiao Zi Xuan’s jealousy, she had forced them into the abyss that was difficult to extricate.
“I"ll go see my father first and let him be mentally prepared.” He had a terrible feeling of what was to come.
He didn"t think that Qiao Tian Chang would just suppress them from only one direction. If it was, then Qiao Tian Chang wouldn"t even have to return to his position. Since he was now back, there could only be one possibility: something major would happen in the imperial court.
What Ling Luo knew, Xiao Yi Lin also sent people to investigate about it.. After learning about the incident, Xiao Yi Lin"s eyes were filled with horror.
Qiao Tian Chang and his wife had a mysterious connection with Tong Bao Zhai. Xiao Yi Lin finally understood why Tong Bao Zhai was attacking them now. Although he now knew the reason why, he still had some worries.
If Tong Bao Zhai were to directly suppress them, he wouldn"t have such worries. However, it was like a game of cat and mouse now, which made him extremely worried, as if he might be overlooking something.
After Ning Meng Yao got the news from Yu Feng, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“What’s wrong?” As Qiao Tian Chang came in from outside, he noticed Ning Meng Yao frowning but he didn’t know what she was thinking. He walked up to her side and reached for her waist, which she couldn’t help but frown even more.
Ning Meng Yao sighed: “Because of Brother-in-law and them, they had made Xiao Residence and Ling Residence find out about our relationship with them.” Now those families might have guessed the reason why Tong Bao Zhai was attacking them.
She had already prepared for the exposure, but she didn"t expect it to be so fast.
“It’s okay, it’s just the right time.” Qiao Tian Chang revealed a cold smile. He shall see what they will do tomorrow.
Ning Meng Yao looked up: “You"re going to strike now?"
“Yes, it’s time."
“Then I"ll tell my brother-in-law and the rest to make haste.” Ning Meng Yao thought for a moment, then said. The pain those families were suffering now were nothing compared to how they felt at all.
Qiao Tian Chang smiled and nodded.
Early the next morning, Qiao Tian Chang had already gotten dressed in his official uniform, which was prepared for his visit to the imperial court, when Ning Meng Yao was still sound asleep and prepared for the imperial court.
Before leaving, he ordered Qing Xue and the rest to prepare Ning Meng Yao’s medicinal porridge and to let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.
After that, he strode out and rode his horse towards the palace.
It was early in the morning when Xiao Qi Feng saw Qiao Tian Chang who hadn"t shown up at the imperial court ever since he had returned. But seeing his sudden appearance, Xiao Qi Feng understood that he was planning to strike now.
“All are present to report to the Emperor and none shall retreat from the imperial court until the session ends."
After all the others had updated about their progress, Qiao Tian Chang suddenly stood out and high-kneeled on the ground: “Your Highness, I have some news that you should have a look at."
Xiao Qi Feng remained silent and gestured to the court eunuch. The eunuch walked to Qiao Tian Chang and took the memorial and book from his hands.
Everyone felt a bit strange. Why was the top general here today? And why did he make his appearance in such a way?
When everyone was still feeling puzzled, Xiao Qi Feng, who was sitting on his dragon emperor seat, became terribly gloomy.
Knowing and actually seeing the evidence was an entirely different thing.
“Well done, well done indeed. I didn"t know about this, but since when are families allowed to raise their own private army or embezzle from the common folks that amounts more than a million silvers?” Xiao Qi Feng glared angrily at the heads of Ling and Xiao family.
Being glared at by the Emperor, both men"s expression changed immediately, especially Marquis Ling. He was completely shocked. It was true that he had done so, but it was done in secret. How did Qiao Tian Chang find out about it?
