Chapter 290 Suddenly Turns Absurd

Lu Tao sighed with some emotion. Sure enough, a woman who isn't ruthless won't have a stable position.

Qiao Mian suddenly slammed his fist on the table: "So, Huang Xuan'er is really dead? Killed by Shen Wuhua?"

Mo Qianxun looked at him curiously: "Didn't you dislike her? How come you're so sad after she died?"

"I... I just don't know how to explain this to Aunt Liu. Back then, Aunt Liu entrusted Huang Xuan'er to me, hoping I could take good care of her, but I never expected..."

Although he hadn't been close to Huang Xuan'er over the years, in his heart, Huang Xuan'er had always been his younger sister. It was just that his sister was rebellious, and as her older brother, he could only verbally reprimand her.

Mo Qianxun and the other two: ...Your attitude just now didn't seem like you were treating her like a younger sister, it was more like you were treating her like an enemy or something.

Qiao Mian also realized that his attitude had changed too quickly, and sighed: "Actually, I used to treat her quite well, but she had to do such a thing."

Mo Qianxun and her two companions: Burn, gossip spirit!!
"What did she do to make you dislike her so much?"

"She, she actually stole my underwear and went around lying about it." Qiao Mian's face turned red instantly.

Mo Qianxun and the other two stared wide-eyed. No, they went straight for underwear? Are they really that blatant?

"Most importantly, she ended up giving my underwear to my sweetheart, which made Ya'er look at me like I was a pervert for a while."

Mo Qianxun and the other two: This is a master of pranks!

"Also, she knew I liked Ya'er, but she still introduced all sorts of rich young men to Ya'er. She didn't care about my feelings at all. Later, I got angry and stopped caring about her." Qiao Mian's mood suddenly dropped again.

It's all my fault. I should have arranged for two people to be by her side back then.

"You and her mother have a good relationship?"

“Aunt Liu is my mother’s best friend. We’re childhood sweethearts, I guess!” Qiao Mian sighed, somewhat absentmindedly.

Mo Qianxun was silent for a moment, then looked at him: "Did Huang Xuan'er suddenly become like this, or was there some kind of trigger?"

Qiao Mian thought about it carefully: "It really did suddenly become so absurd."

“There must be something fishy going on. She must have encountered something to become like that. I think you should investigate what Huang Xuan’er went through while you were away. Also, you should investigate past events as well. Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth.”

Qiao Mian looked at Mo Qianxun: "So, Miss Mo, you think I've been deceived?"

"I'm just giving you a heads-up. After all, generally speaking, she's your childhood sweetheart. Even if you're like bickering lovers, she wouldn't use your underwear to deceive people. After all, you have your pride, and so does she."

Qiao Mian lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he looked up at Mo Qianxun and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Mo. I know what to do now."

[Host, the mission is complete. It seems he took your words to heart. The rest is their own business. We should leave now.]

Mo Qianxun stood up: "Now that we've finished talking and eating, we'll take our leave."

"Miss Mo, please wait a moment. I would like to ask Miss Mo, Miss Chen, and Young Master Lu to say a few words to the soldiers to boost their morale. After all, this victory is also thanks to the three of you." Qiao Mian stood up, intending to keep them here.

Mo Qianxun looked at Lu Tao: Why don't you go?

Lu Tao rolled his eyes: Why should I? If we're talking about being fierce, you're the fiercest one. If anyone should go up, it should be you.

The two men looked at Chen Min, who immediately lowered her head: "You can't see me, you can't see me."

"Well, we have urgent business to attend to. Next time, next time. General Qiao, please tell them for us that we'd like to have a drink and a meal together sometime. The three of us will be leaving now." With that, Mo Qianxun led her people away.

Seeing Mo Qianxun and the other two suddenly disappear, Qiao Mian was completely stunned: "God, a god?"

Lieutenant General Li walked in and saw his general standing there dumbfounded, seemingly lost in thought.

"General, where are Miss Mo and the others?"

“They’re all gone!” Qiao Mian sat down.

"They're gone? That can't be. I've been standing right at the door, and I didn't see them go out." Lieutenant General Li looked at the door in confusion. He had indeed been standing there the whole time and hadn't seen anyone leave.

Qiao Mian sighed: "They all disappeared in a flash."

Lieutenant General Li looked at him with a complicated expression: "General, I'm not a three-year-old child."

"So you think I'm a three-year-old? How could I say such things?" Qiao Mian's eyes widened.

Lieutenant Li paused for two seconds: The general's tone didn't sound fake. Could it be that they really flew away? But isn't that too far-fetched?
"Deputy General Li, send someone to investigate something for me. It must be done secretly, and absolutely no one can know that I'm investigating this." Qiao Mian looked at Deputy General Li very seriously.

Lieutenant General Li was slightly taken aback by Qiao Mian's tone: "Isn't the General going to say anything either?"

"Let's keep it from my father for now. I'll tell him the truth once I've found out."

"Leaving aside the General, what if we run into Miss Ya'er..."

"Don't tell Ya'er, and... investigate Ya'er." Qiao Mian's expression was rather grim.

Lieutenant Li was stunned the moment he saw the expression on his face.

Everyone in the capital knows that General Qiao is deeply in love with the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice. This time, he even kept it a secret from Miss Ya'er. It seems that this matter is indeed quite serious.

------

Mo Qianxun and the others returned to their original world. Mo Qianxun looked at 008 with some confusion: "008, why didn't you just tell me the truth back then?"

[Host, if I tell you the truth, will you tell him?]

"Of course... no. I know that some things can be said and some things can't. He might respect us because we helped him win a battle, but that's his private matter. If we, who have only known each other for less than half a day, interfere in his private affairs, would he be happy?"

Although her current situation could be considered as interference.

[Host, you understand.]

"So what exactly is going on?"

Just as you, hosts, suspected, Shen Wuhua impersonated Huang Xuan'er to claim she had saved his life and became the Third Prince's consort. Fearing discovery, he sought to eliminate Huang Xuan'er, the person directly involved, and Qiao Mian and Shangguan Ya, the two witnesses.

"Oh, you mean Shangguan Ya is dead?"

No, she's perfectly fine. She's not stupid; she knows that distant water can't quench immediate thirst, so she decisively sought refuge with Shen Wuhua. It's just that others don't know that.
