Qiao Yumian looked at the calm and elegant girl in front of her and said, "This must be Sister Chunbai."

Yao Xia refused to admit defeat and grabbed another one: "What about this one?"

"It must be Sister Miaoqing from Duke Zheng's mansion."

Upon being recognized at the first sight, Wei Miaoqing was filled with emotion - now that Mrs. Chang is not in the capital, she is the most beautiful girl in the capital, and of course the most recognizable among the crowd.

Yao Xia refused to give up and asked Qiao Yumian to continue guessing until Qiao Yumian guessed wrong, and the recognition game ended.

The hall was filled with chatter and laughter, and Mrs. Wang personally brought tea and snacks to entertain them.

In the next two days, guests or relatives who learned about the incident came to visit one after another.

On the third day, it was the day off for the Imperial College. Xiaoqiu came back from outside and said with a smile: "Girl, the husband's friends and classmates are also here to visit the girl today. The husband of the Hu family is here!"

So is he here too?

Qiao Yumian had not seen Cui Lang for several days. She wanted to ask but was not embarrassed to ask, so she asked Xiao Qiu to change her clothes and personally selected the pearl and flower jewelry.

She went to the front hall in a hurry, but when she approached the front hall, she slowed down again, straightened her clothes nervously, and asked Xiaoqiu in a low voice: "...Is there anything wrong?"

Xiaoqiu smiled and shook her head: "No, no, girls are good everywhere!"

Qiao Yumian slightly curved the corners of her mouth, and quietly took two long breaths before walking into the hall.

There were many people in the hall, and apart from her father and brother, most of them had young faces. After Qiao Yumian bowed, she looked at the young supervisors, and when she met their smiling eyes, she gradually felt doubtful in her heart.

It seems that he is not here.

Seeing her expression, Hu Huan took the lead and said: "Ms. Qiao, I am Hu Huan!"

The remaining supervising students also reported their names. Qiao Yumian nodded to them one by one. They were all names she had heard before. Most of them were friends with her brother who called her junior sister and took care of her as his younger sister.

people.

But why was he the only one who didn't come?

Why didn't the person who took care of her the most and always followed her quietly to protect her never come?

Rather than being disappointed, what first appeared in Qiao Yumian's heart was a hint of worry.

Not long after, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall behind her.

Qiao Yumian almost immediately turned around to look.

A young man in brocade clothes came, panting: "We have news!"

The person who came was still not him, but he brought news about him.

"Cui Liulang suffered a family injury three days ago. He was seriously injured. I heard that he is about to die!" This young man was friends with Cui Lang and he was also a man of no stinginess.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"How could it be so serious!"

"What kind of rule has Cui Liulang committed?"

"Let's go see him quickly!" Hu Huan was so frightened that if he really died, he would have to see him one last time, right?

"He can't be seen..." the young man said out of breath, "The Cui family has locked him up and no one is allowed to see him!"

"Then... what about climbing over the wall and sneaking there at night?"

Although Qiao Yubai was in an anxious mood, he did not forget to remind him: "... if you break into someone else's house without any reason, the owner can kill you on the spot according to the law."

The Cui family protected the courtyard at every level, fearing that they would be beaten to death first if Cui Liulang was still alive.

"What to do!"

The free-spirited young man almost cried: "What should I do? The worst result can only be to do it in a glamorous way..."

Hu Huan kicked him hard: "Wang Zeyu, stop saying such bad things!"

Amid the noise, Qiao Yumian tightened her sleeves.

In the end, Qiao Jijiu's envoy came forward and went to Cui's house to inquire about the news. Cui Lang was a supervisor of the Imperial College, so as a Jijiujiu, he naturally had the position to intervene.

The Cui family's response was that Cui Lang was fine, but he had violated clan rules and would be sent back to his old residence in Qinghe to reflect. As for the Imperial College, he would not go there again in the future.

After Qiao Yubai and others heard the news, they were glad that Cui Lang was safe and sound, but they couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

…

Before the disaster relief imperial envoy Zhan Shilang and his entourage arrived in Heluo, the Cui family arrived in Xingyang the day before and found Cui Jing.

They came with the order of the head of the family. The old man who headed them had served as prime minister in two dynasties and was very prestigious in the clan. The next day, they opened a ancestral hall in a house of the Cui family in Xingyang, invited the clan members to witness

, displaying Cui Jing’s faults.

He was disobedient and unfilial, violated family rules, insulted the Cui family tradition, and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. All of them were listed in detail. Even when he was over 20 years old, he was unwilling to start a family and continue the family life, which became evidence of his unfilial piety——

No one mentioned anything about the Zheng family explicitly, but everyone knew why all this happened.

Finally, the old man's voice was hoarse and majestic: "Da Lang, do you have anything to say?"
