After leaving the imperial court, Qiao Tian Chang went to the Imperial Study Room. Xiao Qi Feng and Xiao Qi Tian were already there waiting for him.

When Qiao Tian Chang came in, Xiao Qi Feng was having a headache and he rubbed his forehead as he said, "Are you satisfied with this punishment?"

"Of course I am satisfied. But Qi Feng, do you want to see how greedy Marquis Ling is?" Qiao Tian Chang nodded and glanced at Xiao Qi Feng with a slight smile and a face full of ridicule.

Xiao Qi Feng frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Raising an army of hundreds of thousands on their own is not something they can do in a short period of time. In order to catch the big fish, I did not let you make a move against their family." He didn't believe Marquis Ling would raise an army of hundreds of thousands on his own just to protect his own life. If that was really the case, he wouldn't have needed to take this risk at all. Thus, there could only be one possibility. He had hidden motives that he shouldn't have had.

"What did you figure out again?"

"This is just a small lead, I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet. I will tell you when the time comes, and I'm sure the results will not disappoint you." Qiao Tian Chang told him with a chuckle

Xiao Qi Feng speechlessly looked at Qiao Tian Chang, who had shown a huge change in him all around. He felt helpless, and said, "Provoking you and your wife is really an unwise decision to make."

"So tell me, what is your reason for coming here?" He didn't believe that Qiao Tian Chang came simply just to tell him this.

"Let me oversee the beheading."

The expressions on Xiao Qi Feng and Xiao Qi Tian's faces changed slightly and they looked at Qiao Tian Chang dumbfoundedly, "Are you serious about this? Surely you're not joking around with us?"

"Does it look like I'm joking around? Letting the whole world know of everything the Qiao family has done, and with me to oversee the beheading, people would say I place righteousness over family." Qiao Tian Chang didn't mind and told them.

So what if someone said he was cold-blooded? He was only warm-blooded towards those who treated him well, and there was no need to treat others well.

"Very well, this matter shall be handed over to you." After thinking it through a few times, Xiao Qi Feng decided in the end to allow Qiao Tian Chang to make a move.

"About the other two families…"

"Marquis Ling would come to know that what they have today is only because of Xiao Zi Xuan, what do you think she would do?" Xiao Zi Xuan was an extremely selfish woman. Not only that, she was also very unintelligent. If Marquis Ling makes a move on her, she is bound to mortgage the Xiao's Residence.

And because of her, Xiao's Residence is now bearing heavy losses. No matter how much Duke Xiao and his wife doted on her, they would also fall apart. For what is to come, they only had to watch.

Xiao Qi Tian stared at Qiao Tian Chang with his eyes wide open, "You have already planned this, too?"

"The Xiao's Residence has a hold on secrets relating to our state. If Marquis Ling really had any intentions, at that time, in order to win the favor of Ling Luo and the rest , Xiao Zi Xuan would definitely entertain this plan. If she really did this, we could use that to our advantage to take things into our control when the time comes." Qiao Tian Chang spoke his thoughts out to let Xiao Qi Feng.

He wasn't the impertinent person everyone thought he was, but instead thought things out meticulously. Regarding the details of the result, Xiao Qi Feng had basically already told him about it .

The reason he let Xiao Qi Feng punish Xiao's Residence lightly was also because of this. This would become a fuse, and as for how big of an effect it would have in the end depended on how capable Xiao Zi Xuan was.

Xiao Qi Feng felt a chill in his heart. He was now incomparably glad that Qiao Tian Chang was his brother. Everything that he did was in consideration for him; otherwise, it would be excessively dangerous with such a person at his side.

"Are you certain that they would do that?" Xiao Qi Tian couldn't help but ask.

As for the secret that Xiao Yi Lin had in his hands, they had not dismissed the thought of getting it back, but simply never had the chance to do so. Because of this, the Emperor had to bow his head towards Xiao's Residence. If they could really get it back, that naturally couldn't be anything better.

"Whether they would do that or not would depend on how much Marquis Ling hates Xiao Zi Xuan. We'll have to see how big-hearted Marquis Ling is." But Qiao Tian Chang didn't really bother about this. For someone who could raise an army of hundreds of thousands, it would be impossible if he didn't have any selfish motives.

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all, and had all the time to wait it out.

Xiao Qi Tian and his brother both looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Tian Chang, now I'm really incomparably glad that we're brothers." Xiao Qi Feng didn't conceal his feelings and said to Qiao Tian Chang.
