Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Severing Father-Son Relationship
Qiao Qinghe felt extremely guilty towards Qiao Changshun’s family.
Recently, he had stopped managing the affairs of the Sun Family and Sun Junyan, throwing himself wholeheartedly into working in the fields, hoping that ceaseless work might numb the guilt in his heart.
But reality told him that this ostrich-like behavior was futile.
He shouldn’t be thinking about how to punish himself, but rather how to rein in his wife, Sun, and stop her from causing more trouble.
Because in the early years, it was Sun who had supported their family, and he had always felt overpowered when facing her.
But now, Sun was acting so wildly, she seemed capable of anything. If he continued to avoid confronting her, Qiao Changshun’s family would never find peace.
This could no longer continue, he had to be assertive.
With this in mind, he made up his mind and roughly tugged Sun’s arm, dragging her out of bed, “Get up, you’re coming back with me!”
Sun, caught off guard and surprised, screamed out, “What on earth are you doing!”
“Locking you up!” Qiao Qinghe replied, pulling Sun along as he moved towards the door.
At this moment, Qiao Meipan entered the room, seeing what was happening she quickly attempted to stop her father, “Father, what are you doing! Mother is still injured!” Latest content published on novel⟡fire.net
“What are you doing!” Sun also struggled desperately.
“Locking you up so you can’t cause more trouble!” Qiao Qinghe said, one hand dragging Sun, the other pushing Qiao Meipan away.
Qiao Meipan was shoved aside, and Qiao Qinghe walked out the door with Sun.
Regardless of her injuries, Sun struggled fiercely, “Let go of me, let go!”
Qiao Meipan hurriedly followed them out, trying to stop Qiao Qinghe. What was wrong with living in County Town? Why did they have to go back to the village?
As both Qiao Meipan and Sun screamed in protest, the courtyard fell into chaos.
However, Qiao Qinghe was a man and his strength was far greater than the two. Just as Sun was about to be hauled onto the ox-cart, a furious male voice rang out, “Father, what are you doing?!”
Sun Junyan had returned from the military camp.
Seeing Sun Junyan, Qiao Qinghe snorted coldly, ignoring him. He pulled out the hemp rope he had brought from home, intending to tie Sun up.
Seeing this, Sun Junyan’s face darkened. He rushed forward to stop his father’s movements, “Father, there is a debate taking place in the imperial court right now. Taking mother back is pointless!”
If they won the debate, the ones to be punished would be Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
And if they lost, the punishment would befall upon Sun herself.
Thus, Qiao Qinghe’s current action of tying up Sun was meaningless.
The next course of action should be decided only once the result was out.
“Regardless of its effectiveness, I cannot let her continue causing trouble outside!” Qiao Qinghe said with a stern face.
He had already considered the consequences. If Sun Junyan lost, Sun would inevitably face severe punishment. That would work out perfectly, as he could personally deliver Sun to jail.
But if Sun Junyan won, who knows what kind of havoc Sun would wreak.
Therefore, he needed to take Sun back to the village.
“Father, am I not your son? Why are you helping Qiao Xiaomai instead of me?!” Seeing that Qiao Qinghe was resolute, Sun Junyan couldn’t help but feel angered. He pointed to the bandages still covering his face, “Father, do you see this? This was done by Tong Sanlang, trying to ruin me!”
“You brought that upon yourself!” Qiao Qinghe did not even glance at him, continuing to bind Sun’s hands and feet.
“Father, are you disowning your own son?” Sun Junyan asked coldly.
“That’s right, I disown you. From here on out, we are no longer father and son. Do whatever you want out there, but never set foot in the Qiao Family household again!”
