Chapter 347
Ning Meng Yao calmly stood up: "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare a meal," She turned around and left after talking, her figure no matter who saw it felt she was fleeing in panic.
Qiao Tian Chang looked affectionately at Ning Meng Yao's departing figure, he then turned his head to look at Nangong Yan: "Father-in-law, you still need to be careful."
"I know, I'll trouble you to take good care of Yao'er, she's still a little childish," He was able to tell after getting along these few days that Qiao Tian Chang unconditionally pampered her.
Ning Meng Yao usually behaved normal, but she would occasionally act childish which gave others a headache, just like earlier.
Qiao Tian Chang nodded: "It's alright, she's great this way."
Nangong Yan looked at Qiao Tian Chang, his eyes were full of smiles, it seems one party was willing to strike while the other party was willing to endure it, he was at ease.
"I can leave with ease seeing you all like this. As for Nangong Yue, I'll keep an eye out, you all have to be careful in what you all are doing," He needed to protect Ling Empire, but that did not mean that he had to see others bully his daughter and son-in-law.
Qiao Tian Chang acknowledged it: "Father-in-law, be at ease."
The two of them discussed other things and only stopped when they could smell the fragrant scent of the dishes.
"Still chatting? Time to eat," Ning Meng Yao said helplessly when she saw the two of them still chatting when she brought the dishes out.
Two grown men, how did they find so many topics to discuss about?
Qiao Tian Chang smiled, he entered the kitchen to help Ning Meng Yao bring out the dishes.
After the meal, Nangong Yan began arranging for people to pack his things and was preparing to leave the next day.
The next morning, Nangong Yan entered the palace to bid farewell to Xiao Qi Feng and directly left, he did not return to the Great General's Residence. They had discussed everything that needed to discuss yesterday, there was no need to bring it up once more.
After Nangong Yan left, Ning Meng Yao felt something was off no matter what she did.
She looked at the additional set of dining utensils. Ning Meng Yao then rubbed her brows, she was feeling helpless.
"We will still meet in the future," Qiao Tian Chang knew she was feeling uncomfortable since she had just found her father and he left just like that.
"I know, but I'm worried about him," If her mother was really in the hands of the Ling Emperor, he was walking into a trap, the Ling Emperor would definitely pull many tricks to threaten her father.
Even if she wasn't there, the sinister and vile Ling Emperor would not let him off.
"You can deploy those positioned in Ling Empire to protect him. With Tong Bao Zhai intimidating them, they would not easily touch father-in-law," Qiao Tian Chang patted Ning Meng Yao's shoulder to placate her as he gave her an idea.
Ning Meng Yao gave it some thought and then nodded: "That's true, but the industry in Ling Empire would not be calm for long."
"What do you mean?"
"If you're the Ling Emperor, would you let an authority that would threaten you at any moment remain?" Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang.
Tong Bao Zhai was like a knife hanging above their necks, they would be worried about the knife suddenly dropping down, especially when they had shed all pretenses this time.
Qiao Tian Chang remained silent without talking, if it was him, he would be worried since not every wielder of power was willing to be threatened by others.
"You're not worried?"
"Why should I be worried? Tong Bao Zhai is not as simple as you know it," Ning Meng Yao raised her eyebrows and said.
If Tong Bao Zhai was done for due to a single Nangong Yue, she would need to consider whether Tong Bao Zhai should be passed to a different person to take charge.
"Huh?" There was surprise in Qiao Tian Chang's eyes, could it be that there was something he did not know about?
Ning Meng Yao laughed, she reached out and pinched Qiao Tian Chang's cheek: "Tian Chang, you're so cute like this."
"Alright, tell me."
"How do I put it, the Tong Bao Zhai you all know of is only on the surface," Ning Meng Yao put up some thoughts and gave a more pertinent answer.
Qiao Tian Chang looked strangely at Ning Meng Yao, for someone as smart as him, he understood after some thought: "You mean to say, there are many forces in the dark that nobody knows about?"
Ning Meng Yao smiled and nodded: "That's right, on the surface, what Tong Bao Zhai displays is only fifty or sixty percent of its power. In truth, other than Xiao Empire, Tong Bai Zhai controls the businesses in other empires as well."
