Did he have an affair?
In Family He, everyone could clearly feel the tension in the air. He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao had not spoken for a few days.
Every time Qiao Qiao wanted to talk to him, He Shaochen would always "inadvertently" avoid her. Over time, Qiao Qiao's temper rose. Since he did not want to talk to her, then she would not talk to him anymore!
Thus, the cold war began again.
In Family He, the two of them fully displayed the essence of "turning a blind eye" and directly treated each other as air.
"How rare, you actually came to look for me."
Freya had a faint smile on her face as she looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sitting opposite her and drinking orange juice with one hand supporting her chin.
Qiao Qiao was a little absent-minded. When she heard Freya's words, she casually responded and said indifferently, "Oh, since I have nothing to do, they said it's okay to come out for a walk occasionally."
"Oh, I see."
Freya glanced at the bodyguards who were observing the situation from the corner of her eyes. She thought about how every time Qiao Qiao went out, there would be at least eight bodyguards by her side. They were now in a cafe, and Qiao Qiao was surrounded by four bodyguards. There were another four standing outside the cafe.
The customers who wanted to come in were so scared that they took a detour.
The shop owner could not stand it. Weren't they disturbing his business? But when he saw the thick stack of cash in front of him, his angry face immediately brightened up.
As for the bodyguards, they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see.
"Did you quarrel with Shaochen?" Freya saw that Qiao Qiao's face was a little dark and asked.
Qiao Qiao's hand that was holding the straw suddenly paused. She looked up at Freya. "Why would you ask that?"
"After all, I've been there before."
"…"
Qiao Qiao bit the straw and her eyelashes slightly lowered. She said indifferently, "I said that I wanted to participate in the fight against J Country, but he refused. Then I got a little angry. It's not a big deal, but I didn't expect him to be angry for so long. Recently, we have been sleeping in separate rooms …"
"It's so serious?"
Freya was shocked.
According to what she knew, He Shaochen should dote on Qiao Qiao a lot. "Was he the one who suggested sleeping in separate rooms?"
"Of course, he suggested it first!" At the mention of this matter, Qiao was still angry. That guy actually said that he doted on her too much and told her to reflect on herself.
He was really not like that in the past.
.. Was she really too much of a willful??????????????????????????????????????????????????
"According to common sense, when a man acts like this, it means that he has someone outside."
Freya said seriously.
"Shaochen wouldn't do that!" Qiao Qiao frowned. She glared at Freya unhappily and said, "Please don't belittle my husband. He's not that kind of person."
"Hehe, didn't I say common sense? Of course, I believe that Shaochen is not that kind of person. " Seeing that Qiao Qiao was really angry, Freya quickly changed her words. "But since he suggested sleeping in separate rooms, there must be a reason. You two better find a time to talk about it."
"If I could talk about it, I would have talked to him a long time ago. But he doesn't give me a chance to talk at all. Moreover, he's been coming home later and later …"
Speaking of which, it did seem like a sign of a husband cheating.
"Do you need me to check it out for you?" Freya asked elegantly.
Qiao Qiao blinked and asked, "Can you do it?"
He Shaochen's men were all around her. If she asked these people to help her check, it was like saying to He Shaochen's ear, "I want to investigate you."
"Of course I can. I didn't waste my time in the past twenty years."
Qiao Qiao was relieved to hear Freya say that. She looked at Freya gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Freya smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me. I'll settle it for you."
"… Okay."
Qiao Qiao nodded.
The two of them stayed for a while. One of Freya's assistants came over and whispered in her ear. Qiao Qiao saw Freya's eyes suddenly widen and her face turn pale. Her heart skipped a beat.
Did something happen?
"I got it. You can leave first." Freya's voice trembled slightly as she said to the subordinate.
"Yes."
…
Freya crossed her hands, but Qiao Qiao noticed that her hands were trembling slightly. Qiao Qiao felt even more uncertain. She asked in a low voice, "Freya, did something happen?"
Freya looked at Qiao Qiao in a daze. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao Qiao, news just came from J Country. Charles VII has passed away."
"Pa!"
Qiao Qiao was in a daze and knocked over the glass, spilling orange juice all over the table.
The waiter rushed forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine …"
Qiao Qiao shook her head. She quickly wiped the water stains on her body with a tissue, but her hands couldn't stop trembling. She said to the waiter who was cleaning up the mess, "I can clean up here myself. You can go and do your work."
"Do you really not need help?"
The waiter asked.
"No need …"
Her mind was in a mess. She still felt that it was unbelievable from Freya's words until now.
The old man she had just met had passed away just like that? Was she lying to her?
"Qiao Qiao?"
Freya called out to her.
Qiao Qiao looked up in a daze and asked, "It's a lie, right? The last time I saw Charles VII, he was still very energetic. How could he suddenly pass away? There must be a mistake in the information, right? Besides, such a big matter was not reported on the TV news. "
"Because of this matter, it has been blocked." Freya said in a low voice.
She reached out to hold Qiao Qiao's hand and continued, "Qiao Qiao, even in J Country, not many people know about this matter. Do you know what this means?"
Qiao Qiao's heart sank when she heard this. She looked at Freya and asked uncertainly, "Those people, will they take action again?"
"Yes."
"Then they …"
"Qiao Qiao, do you really want to take back the throne?" Freya suddenly asked. She looked at Qiao Qiao with a serious expression.
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat.
Freya asked again, "Do you really want to take back the throne that belongs to you?"
Did she really want to take back the throne?
Qiao Qiao asked herself honestly. She did not want to at all, because she was not cut out to be an Empress. She just did not want Ravel, who wanted to take the throne, to succeed.
She would not let the person who indirectly killed her child have an easy time.
"If you really want to take back the throne, you must return to J Country, because the main battlefield is there … Now is not the time to quarrel with Shaochen. Go back and talk to him. We need his strength."
"How could this be …"
Qiao Qiao was still a little confused. Weren't they still talking about the cold war with He Shaochen?
How did the situation suddenly change?
"By the way, you should be careful these days. I suspect that Ravel will have a big operation. You must protect yourself well, understand?"
"Yes …"
Seeing how serious Freya was, Qiao Qiao knew what to do. She nodded, but her heart was beating fast. She asked, "Then what about you? Why don't you come back with me to Family He? "
Freya would also be worried if she lived alone outside.
"Me? Forget it, if I stay at Family He, everyone will feel uncomfortable. It's more convenient to live outside. As for those people, I will be careful. " As she spoke, Freya stood up and said, "Alright, let's end our conversation here. I'll investigate Shaochen's matter as well. Don't worry."
Freya's words were surprisingly reassuring.
Qiao Qiao looked at her and pursed her lips. Finally, she said, "Freya, thank you."
Other than thank you, she did not know what else to say.

When they returned to Family He, Qiao Qiao saw that He Shaochen had just changed his clothes and was about to go out. Qiao Qiao quickly stopped him and said, "Shaochen, that …"
"I have to go out."
He Shaochen's voice was unusually cold. Qiao Qiao felt a chill in her heart. When she came to her senses, He Shaochen was already out the door.
Qiao Qiao immediately chased after him, but the car was already some distance away.
Qiao Qiao watched the car disappear into the distance. For a moment, she was in a daze. Her eyes suddenly reddened. She leaned against the door, wiped the corners of her eyes, and turned sadly back into the house.
She looked like she was about to cry.
What was going on?
Why was he so cold to her all of a sudden?
Even if she was a little willful sometimes, he did not know that he would be angry for so long. Moreover, it was not long after her miscarriage.
Her heart felt stuffy, as if it was being cut by a rusty saw again and again.
However, now was not the time to be angry. She did not know if He Shaochen knew about the death of Charles VII. She had to tell him about this matter now and discuss the next countermeasures.
Qiao Qiao wiped away her tears, sniffed, and called He Shaochen. She did not expect him to be on the phone.
Was he busy with work?
Perhaps, he was really too busy with work recently, so he was in a bad mood?
Qiao Qiao comforted herself in her heart. She tried to call He Shaochen again, but she could not get through. In the end, someone called her.
She looked at the caller ID. It was An Ziyan calling her.
This person had not appeared in her line of sight for a long time. Why did he suddenly appear again?
Qiao Qiao was suspicious, but she still picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yo, Qiao Qiao, how have you been recently?" An Ziyan's voice was as brisk as ever, but there was a trace of imperceptible tiredness.
This person really knew how to find a topic to talk about.
Qiao Qiao thought in annoyance. She said in a muffled voice, "Thank you for your concern. I've been doing very well recently."
"Really? Why do I feel like you've just cried? "
Annoying!
This was Qiao Qiao's first reaction. She let out a long sigh and said, "If you're just bored and want to find someone to talk to, I think you've found the wrong person."
She was about to hang up the phone when An Ziyan suddenly asked seriously, "Qiao Qiao, when you were pregnant, did you keep taking tonics? Was that medicine prescribed by Dr. Jiang?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Qiao Qiao's eyes darkened.
