"No hatred, and you don't have any feelings for the Qiao family anymore." Old Master Qiao sighed.

Joey fell silent after hearing this. After all, what Mr. Joe said was true.

Ever since I learned the truth, I really have no feelings for the Qiao family.

"You must be Joey's friends, come and have some tea." Old Master Joe looked at Nangong Xi and the others and said.

"No need, grandpa. Senior sisters don't like to drink tea." Joey said, remembering the note that Qiao Xun slipped to him.

"Don't like drinking tea?" Mr. Qiao was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qiao. We have been working outside for many years and are indeed not used to drinking tea." Han Jing said.

They also read the contents of the note in Joey's hand.

Although there are no accidents with Xixi around, it is best to avoid them if possible.

"In that case, Joey, take your friends to the wedding banquet." Old Man Joe said and turned away.

After he turned around, a hint of disappointment and cruelty flashed across his eyes.

After Joey led Nangong Xi and the others out of the yard, Old Man Joe swept the pot of tea on the table to the ground.

"Joey, are we really going to attend the wedding banquet?" Han Jing looked at Joey and asked.

"Go ahead, you must be hungry after such a long journey." Joey said with a smile.

"That's true." Han Jing nodded with a smile.

As they talked, they walked towards the wedding banquet.

"Young Master, the old lady wants you to come over." Before they arrived at the wedding banquet, they were stopped by the housekeeper.

Joey sighed when he heard that.

"Young Master, if you are busy, why don't you leave now and I will go and report to the old lady?" The butler hesitated for a while before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Joey looked at the butler a few more times, only to see that the butler's expression remained unchanged.

"Butler, that's not necessary. Since it's my grandmother who's looking for me, I'll go over and take a look." Joey smiled at the butler.

"Young master, now that we have arrived at the old lady's yard, I believe you will not be hungry." After saying this, the butler turned and left.

Joey sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that the butler still had some conscience.

Joey took Nangong Xi and the others towards the yard where the old lady of the Qiao family lived.

"Isn't this Joey? Why didn't you say hello before coming back?" A woman came over with a smile in her eyes.

She is the wife of the headmistress of the Qiao family.

"Aunt." Joey greeted her.

"Joey, remember, sometimes family love is not necessarily honey, it may also be poison wrapped in honey." After saying this, the lady of the house hurried away.

Along the way, Joey received explicit or implicit reminders from three people.

"It seems that not all the people in the Qiao family are black-hearted." Han Jing sighed.

"There are always one or two people who have a conscience," Joey said with a smile.

Soon, Qiao Yi brought Nangong Xi and the others to the yard of the old lady of the Qiao family.

"Grandma." Joey walked up to the graceful old woman.

"Joey, every time you came back before, you would go to your grandmother's yard first." The old lady of the Qiao family looked at Joey.

"Grandma, we just returned to the family and grandpa called me over." Joey said with a smile.

After all, she was once his ray of light in the Qiao family, even though several people told him that this ray of light wanted to harm him.

But the facts were not in front of him, and Joey still chose to believe that the light would not hurt him.

"Joey, your grandfather did those things because he was confused. You must not hold it against him." The old lady of the Qiao family said, holding Joey's hand.

"Grandma, you are different from grandpa, right? You won't hurt me, right?" Joey suddenly looked at the old lady of the Qiao family.

The old lady of the Qiao family was startled when she heard this!

Obviously he didn't expect Joey to ask this question.

"That's right, Joey, you are your grandmother's favorite." said the old lady of the Joe family.

"I believe it." Joey nodded with a smile.

Then the old lady ordered someone to bring out a plate of exquisite snacks.

This is the only snack that Joey will eat, and it is made by the old lady of the Qiao family herself.

"Joey, grandma remembers that you like this dessert the most. I prepared it specially for you." Old Mrs. Joe picked up a piece of dessert and placed it lovingly in Joey's hand.

Nangong Xi, who was standing by, could tell at a glance that the snacks were laced with a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon impact.

If Joey hadn't taken his all-purpose anti-poison pill in advance, he would have fallen to the ground and died as soon as the snack entered his mouth.

"Grandma, did you really make this yourself? You didn't ask anyone else to do it for you?" Joey asked again while looking at the snack in his hand.

"Of course. Grandma knows that you only eat snacks made by your grandma. Why would she ask someone else to make them for you?" Old Mrs. Qiao nodded with a smile.

"Then I feel relieved." Joey said and was about to put the snack in his hand into his mouth.

"Joey..." Old Mrs. Qiao suddenly called out when she saw this.

"What's wrong? Grandma." Joey looked at Old Lady Joe.

"It's okay, just eat." Old Mrs. Qiao finally didn't stop him.

"You must be Joey's friends, come and try it." Old Madam Joe picked up the plate of snacks and placed it in front of Nangong Xi and the others.

"Thank you, ma'am, but I want to save food for the wedding banquet." Nangong Xi refused.

Even though it wouldn't cause any harm if I took it, I didn't want this poison to enter my stomach.

thump!

Joey suddenly fell to the ground!

"Joey..." Old Mrs. Joe touched Joey on the ground with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong with Joey?" Han Jing walked over with a look of surprise on her face when she saw this.

"Dead, he's dead." Old Mrs. Qiao muttered.

"He was fine just now, how could he die?" Han Jing asked loudly.

At this moment, Mr. Qiao came in with a large group of people and surrounded Nangong Xi and the others.

"Mr. Qiao, what do you mean by this?" Han Jing looked at Mr. Qiao coldly.

"Joey is dead. If you swear to keep this secret, I can let you go." Old Man Joe said coldly.

He knew that Han Jing must be a member of the sect, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

"Keep it a secret? Keep it secret about what? Is it that Joey was poisoned to death by his grandmother using snacks?" Although she knew that Joey was not dead, Han Jing's anger was real.

"Yes, that's exactly it." Mr. Qiao nodded.

"Girl, we have our reasons for doing this." Old Madam Qiao's eyes were filled with sadness.

"Hardship? How big of a hardship must Joey have to fill with his own life?" Han Jing asked loudly.

"Girl, if you still insist on your wrongdoing, we can only... go all out." Old Master Qiao's eyes were full of cruelty.

"I am the chief disciple of Shangzhu Sect, and Qiao Yi is the special disciple of Shangzhu Sect. The sect's master and elders also know that we are coming to Qiao's family this time. If we die in your Qiao family at the same time, what do you think our sect will do?" Han Jing's words made Grandpa Qiao's eyes widen.
