Chapter 1402: Strange
Qiao Nian sat down obediently beside Matriarch Lu. She knew that Matriarch Lu was very upset now, but some things just happened. Uncle Zhao was the traitor. She could tell that Grandma couldn’t bear to part with Uncle Zhao, so she asked them to lock him up for the time being.
"When you were young, Old Master Zhao and Old Master had just retired. The two of them carried you wherever they went. They yearned to let the entire world know of your existence. At that time, if you wanted stars and the moon, they would definitely help you pluck them."
At this point, Matriarch Lu heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "After you were kidnapped, Old Zhao had been looking for you outside. He only returned when the matter of your murder became a foregone conclusion. At that time, he had lost more than twenty kilograms. He stood there like a bamboo pole that would collapse with a gust of wind."
As Qiao Nian listened to Matriarch Lu talk about the past, it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes. She felt that if there was such a loyal butler, she probably wouldn’t believe that the traitor was the butler either.
"After that, Qi Qi was born. He was worried that something would happen to Qi Qi. As long as he was free, he would stay by Qi Qi’s side and let Qi Qi ride on his neck. He would bring Qi Qi home to play every day. Tell me, how did he become like this?" The more Matriarch Lu thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn’t understand how Old Zhao had become like this.
Qiao Nian looked up at Matriarch Lu and asked, "Grandma, how credible do you think Auntie Cao’s words are?"
Matriarch Lu sighed slightly. "She never lied in the past, and she doesn’t look like she’s lying this time. I don’t know what’s going on either."
Qiao Nian comforted Matriarch Lu for a while longer. When Matriarch Lu was lying on the bed, she opened the door and left.
Qiao Nian didn’t return to her room. Instead, she went straight to the guest room Gu Zhou was in.
At this moment, Gu Zhou was lying on the bed in his bathrobe, his hair still a little wet. He patted the seat beside him and said, "Come over and sleep after taking a shower!"
