Chapter 235
Qiao Tian Chang was amused by his sudden words, “Although we aren’t real brothers, we aren’t different from real brothers . Without hurting Yao Yao, everything I have done is naturally for you . ” Of course, his ultimate goal was to pull out the pests to build a genuinely stronger country .

Only then could he and Ning Meng Yao spend a simple and carefree life together .
“Of course, I know . ” Xiao Qi Feng’s cold and stiff face wore a slight smile .
There was a strong friendship between him, Xiao Qi Tian, and Qiao Tian Chang . They were each other’s benefactor, especially Qiao Tian Chang towards him .
Without Qiao Tian Chang, there would not be him . And so, he placed absolute trust in Qiao Tian Chang, a trust just as similar between real brothers .
Qiao Tian Chang didn’t stay long in the Imperial Study Room . He left after telling them his thoughts .

“Qi Tian, be prepared . ”
He approved of Qiao Tian Chang’s words . If that was really the case, then this could be considered a chance for him as well . All these years, he had wanted to dispose of several people in the Royal Court . It was just that he was unable to find an appropriate reason to do so .
“Brother, don’t worry . I know what to do . ” Xiao Qi Tian was much more reliable during crucial moments .
After Marquis Ling received a hundred strokes, his back was severely injured . He returned to his residence with a dreadful and gloomy expression on his face .
Ling Luo became worried seeing him in such a state and asked, “Father, what happened?”
“Luo’er, what did you send those people to look for me yesterday?” Marquis Ling didn’t answer him but asked seriously instead .

Ling Luo frowned and told him straightaway about what he had investigated while keeping the doubt in his heart .
There was a fast change in Marquis Ling expression, “What you mean is, the reason why Qiao Tian Chang is aiming at us, as well as the reason why Tong Bao Zhai is putting pressure on our business, is all because of Xiao Zi Xuan?”
“It should be the case . Xiao Zi Xuan wanted Yao’er dead, but ended up causing her to have a miscarriage only . I’m afraid it’s because of this that they are targeting us . ” Ling Luo explained softly .
Marquis Ling didn’t think that an unexpected outcome like this would happen . The hard work that he had put in over the years was ruined because of one woman’s jealousy .
“Bring her to me now . ” Marquis Ling said gloomily .
Ling Luo didn’t say anything and remained by Marquis Ling’s side . After smelling the blood on his body, Ling Luo couldn’t help but say, “Father, you should attend to your wounds first . ”

“I’m fine . ” Marquis Ling was very pleased to have such a son, so he did not give him an unhappy look .
Xiao Zi Xuan was in her courtyard playing with her child . Suddenly, she heard a head servant calling for her and she had doubts in her heart . She got herself dressed for a bit and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard .
When she finally arrived, she heard a voice full of anger, “Kneel . ”
Xiao Zi Xuan was completely taken aback and didn’t know what was actually going on . Why did she have to kneel? When she had sent assassins previously to murder Ning Meng Yao when Xiao Qi Tian was present, they didn’t make her kneel . So for what reason did she have to this time?
“Why do I have to kneel? I’m the daughter of the Imperial Xiao Family . ” Xiao Zi Xuan looked at her father-in-law arrogantly .
Marquis Ling was already angry but seeing that she had the audacity to disobey him, he sneered immediately, “The daughter of the Xiao family? I wonder if they can be bothered to be bothered about you after today . ”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Zi Xuan had a bad feeling about it .
“Because of your foolishness, your own brother is going to be beheaded three days later . ” Marquis Ling glanced at Xiao Zi Xuan and told her word for word .
There was a drastic change on Xiao Zi Xuan’s expression . She couldn’t believe the news she had received, “That can’t be possible?”
“You caused the wife of the Great General to have a miscarriage . As a form of revenge, the Xiao family and your brother was investigated by him to have embezzled millions of disaster relief funds . ” Marquis Ling saw Xiao Zi Xuan’s pale face and felt better after voicing the words in his mind .
“But I don’t even know who the wife of the Great General is . ” She didn’t even know her at all, so how could she have caused her miscarriage?
Seeing her like this, Ling Luo couldn’t bare to remain quiet anymore, “Ning Meng Yao . She’s the wife of the Great General, and Qiao Tian Chang is that Great General . ”
