Jimoshu suddenly called Yuan and Jimo Qiao to the main hall. He sat upright and looked at the two of them with a sullen face, without speaking for a long time.
As time passed, Jimo Qiao felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, why did you bring us here? You haven't spoken for so long..."
When Yuan Yuan heard this, he immediately touched Jimo Qiao next to him with his hand and shook his head slightly to signal her not to lose her composure.
Jimoshu stared at Jimo Qiao and asked, "You still have the nerve to ask me? Why do you think I came to you?"
"I don't know." Jimo Qiao said flatly, turning his head and looking away.
Jimoshu, who had tolerated Jimo Qiao's arrogance since childhood, felt a little at a loss at this moment, so he asked Yuanyuan: "You'er, did you get into trouble outside yesterday?"
When Jimo Qiao heard this, he quickly turned to look at his sister and winked secretly, meaning to tell her not to say anything.
Yuan Yuan said very calmly: "Qiao'er, if father can call us here, he already knows and can't hide it."
Jimoshu immediately pointed at the kite and said to Jimo Qiao: "Listen, listen, your sister has a lot more brains than you. The reason why my father called you here for questioning is just to hear your honest confession."
Jimo Qiao had no choice but to say: "Dad, we didn't cause trouble, it was the other party who provoked us first!"
"Did they offend you first?" Jimoshu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Okay, then you can tell me how they offended you?"
Jimo Qiao became energetic and raised his voice and said: "At that time, a few of us were grilling something to eat by the small waterfall. Who knew that Ma Tianzhi suddenly jumped out and extorted one or two thousand silver from us? Then
Of course a few of us refused, so we started fighting. Once the fight started, I didn’t care about many things and threw all the butterfly darts out at once. Later..."
"Wait, wait! Just wait for a while..."
The more Jimosu listened, the less he understood. He thought to himself, where is the waterfall? Who is Ma Tianzhi? Why did he throw away all the butterfly darts?
Jimoshu asked: "Father, I want to ask you, on the way back yesterday afternoon, did Chai Yan's men beat up the people from the Pitz mission?"
Jimo Qiao was stunned immediately, and said to himself that it was that matter that Dad was asking about, not what he was talking about!
"I want to ask you something!" Jimoshu asked urgently.
While Jimo Qiao was still in a daze, Yuan Yuan replied: "Father, on the way back, our carriage met them on the opposite side of a small street. It was the people from the Pitz State Mission who were rude and rude, and insisted that we get out of the way.
, and that’s why the conflict happened! Father, it’s not our fault for this matter!”
"Yeah!" Jimoshu nodded seriously.
If the person speaking was Jimo Qiao, even if she was the one taking the lead, Jimo Shu would probably give her a few words of discipline. However, when facing Yuan Yuan, Jimo Shu would be much more cautious and remain rational and calm at all times.
Jimo Qiao asked: "Dad, how did you know this?"
"Hmph..." Jimoshu snorted coldly and said, "How do I know? Today I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to do something, and I happened to meet Chen Fuyin. Can he tell me?"
Jimo Qiao immediately twisted his nose and complained in a low voice: "Why is this Chen Fuyin so talkative?"
"What are you talking about?" Jimoshu looked serious: "You got yourself into trouble, why are you blaming others?"
Jimo Qiao had no choice but to cast his eyes upwards, and could only move his mouth without saying a word.
Yuan Yuan asked: "Father, did the people from Pitz go to the higher level to complain about this matter?"
"That's not true." Jimoshu shook his head and said, "I heard that the people of Piz didn't see your faces. Just based on the appearance of the two servants, it is meaningless to complain. It will make them incompetent."
Jimo Qiao muttered: "If that's the case, then what do you need to worry about?"
"You're still going strong!" Jimoshu immediately became displeased and said seriously: "Fortunately they didn't see you, otherwise you would have suffered a lot if they had reported it to the emperor!"
Jimo Qiao immediately stopped and became silent again, but he was full of complaints in his heart.
Yuan Yuan defended: "Father knew clearly that at that time, the Pitz people were too arrogant and arrogant. Chai Yan and we couldn't stand it, so we agreed to Cheng Jiu to take action and teach their people a lesson."
Jimo Qiao immediately nodded vigorously and agreed with his sister's statement.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the other party is a mission from the country of Pitz, not an ordinary merchant or traveler. If you have a conflict with them, no matter you win or lose, if it gets serious, it may turn into a diplomatic dispute. I have to remind you.
" Jimoshu explained in a very sincere tone.
Yuan Yuan said: "My daughter has remembered what her father said! It's just that 'I won't offend others unless they offend me', my daughter will still stick to her own ideas."
Yuanyuan was calm and calm throughout the whole process, and did not give in because of Jimoshu's questions. He made it clear that this matter was the fault of the people of Pitz, and they deserved to be beaten!
Although Jimoshu felt that Yuanyuan's idea was wrong, he did not bluntly say that she was wrong. He just said: "Next time, remember, don't be so impulsive. If you can, restrain yourself. Don't take action unless it is absolutely necessary."
"I understand, father." Yuyuan nodded in agreement.
Then, Jimoshu looked at Jimo Qiao again and asked, "Qiaoer, the Ma Tianzhi you mentioned at the beginning is Ma Tianzhi, the great-grandson of Marquis Yongchang?"
Jimo Qiao originally thought that his father would not ask about it again, but unexpectedly, instead of forgetting, he even remembered who Ma Tianzhi was.
"Yes dad, it's that Ma Tianzhi." Jimo Qiao nodded helplessly.
"Tell me, what did you do to Ma Tianzhi yesterday?" Jimoshu said with a hint of interrogation.
Seeing that Jimo Qiao had already let it slip, he simply told the whole story.
Jimoshu's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. When he learned that his daughter had thrown all the butterfly darts at the servants of Yongchang Hou's house, he immediately became furious and said, "That's nonsense! What will you do if someone dies because of this?"
"No, Dad!" Jimo Qiao immediately retorted: "I avoided all their vital points when I attacked, no one will be killed!"
Yuan Yuan also said: "Father, Qiaoer's darts really won't kill anyone. She is very measured in her moves."
"You'er, you don't have to speak for her! Those servants are just ordinary people. It's enough for you to fight them off with your fists and kicks. Why do you have to use hidden weapons to hurt them? From this point of view, my father usually indulges you too much.
It makes you forget what you should and shouldn't do!" Jimoshu's anger gradually grew.
After a pause, Jimoshu said angrily to Jimo Qiao: "Listen, from now on, you will be punished to shut yourself up and think about your life for three days. Without my permission, you will never take a step out of the house!"
"Dad!" When Jimo Qiao heard that he was about to shut up and think about his faults, Lao Gao suddenly frowned, with the word "unwilling" written all over his face.
Jimoshu asked sternly: "Did you hear that clearly?"
After all, Jimo Qiao was still afraid that his father would lose his temper, so he was unconvinced for a while and then gave up. He reluctantly muttered in a low voice: "Listen clearly."
"Louder!" Jimoshu asked loudly.
"Listen clearly!" Jimo Qiao shouted.
Jimoshu calmed down, stood up, and then warned: "You'er, you are responsible for keeping an eye on her. She is not allowed to run outside during these three days."
"I understand, father." Yuan Yuan nodded.
Then, Jimo Shu glanced at Jimo Qiao unhappily and left the main hall angrily.
As soon as Jimo Shu left, Jimo Qiao sat under the chair angrily and complained: "Look, sister, I told you not to speak a long time ago. Look, now, have I spilled the beans?"
Yuan Yuan had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Sister admits her mistake and accepts punishment. Is that okay?"
Jimo Qiao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, sister, you will go out and help me get a pack of butterfly darts back later, and then buy a few kilograms of roasted chestnuts on the way, and I will forgive you!"
Yuan hesitated and said: "Don't, if my father finds out, then..."
Jimo Qiao immediately lowered his voice and said forcefully: "Then I will also tell daddy about your sword fight with Tang Xu, and we will think about it behind closed doors together!"
Yuanyuan was startled for a moment, then compromised: "Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you..."
"Hehehe..." Jimo Qiao Yile said slyly: "You are smart."
