Wonderful Puppet

Miss Qiao covered her face in disbelief.She subconsciously looked at Mrs. Li and the others. Seeing that everyone was stunned, she didn't know how to react for a while.

Zhen Miao was thinking, this girl is actually very good at looking at people's faces, subconsciously looking at Mrs. Li's behavior, it means that she usually acts on the face of her aunt, but she doesn't know where she got the courage to do this today.

"Don't look, the person who hit you is right in front of you." Zhen Miao reminded with a smile.

Her words broke the silence.

Mrs. Li rushed over and exaggeratedly said: "Grandma Sigu, what are you talking about, no one hits people casually, if this gets out, you will think that the girl from Jian'anbo Mansion is so domineering!"

Zhen Miao turned back and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip before she said in a calm and unhurried manner: "It's not appropriate to spread the words of Second Aunt Niang. Respect the national rites before keeping the family rites. My dear Jiaming county magistrate, Miss Qiao didn't know how to salute when she saw me, so I just punished her a little, lest she don't understand the rules and cause even bigger troubles in front of other royals and nobles in the future."

Zhen Yan also came back to her senses, and smiled: "Fourth sister, you always like to worry about others. Thinking about it, Miss Qiao will not have many opportunities to see the royal family and nobles in the future."

"Oh, that's true, but there are always contingencies in everything, such as today's accident, who would have thought of it." Zhen Miao looked at Miss Qiao with a smile, "What happened to Miss Qiao today, do you understand? ?”

Ms. Qiao let go of her hand, and a distinct slap print on the side of the slap, against the pale face, looked even more miserable.

Looking at those bright and firm eyes, she unconsciously moved her eyes away.But he knew in his heart that the Jiaming county lord could do what he said.

"Yes... I drank too much wine, accidentally fell asleep in the rose bushes, and was startled by the little servant who came to investigate..." She swallowed her anger and said these words intermittently, her heart was full of hatred .

When she said this, Jiang Shi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhen Miao with gratitude.

If this matter gets twisted up, it will hurt the enemy one thousand and self-injury eight hundred.It's really a headache, and it's better to be able to solve it like this.

"Mrs. Jiang, I'm sorry for today's facts. I'll take the little girl back first." Mrs. Li's expression was still not very good.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: "What did Mrs. Li say? For such an omission, our family is also responsible."

The two are polite.Mrs. Li took Miss Qiao out.

Miss Qiao walked heavily, she couldn't help turning her head to glance at Zhen Miao who was sitting upright drinking tea, she couldn't help herself, she stopped her feet.

"Ling'er—" Mrs. Li warned dissatisfiedly.

Miss Qiao trembled subconsciously.Of course she knew about the torrential rains she would face when she returned home. Since things couldn't get worse, why couldn't she vomit quickly?

She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.Encourage yourself: "Master Jiaming, can I have a few words with you alone?"

"Ling'er!" Mrs. Li's face was clouded.

"Mother. My daughter offended Jiaming County Lord, and I just want to make amends to her." Miss Qiao finished speaking in a low voice and looked at Zhen Miao.

Zhen Miao stood up and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then go to the cubicle."

"Fourth Sister—" Zhen Yan was dissatisfied with Zhen Miao's agreement.

Zhen Miao gave Zhen Yan a comforting look, and nodded slightly at Qing Dai, who quietly followed her into the cubicle.

"What does Miss Qiao want to tell me?"

Miss Qiao looked at Qing Dai who was standing behind Zhen Miao.

"She is my personal servant girl. I won't reveal a word about me to the outside world. Ms. Qiao should speak quickly if she has something to say. Otherwise, I don't guarantee that I will have time to listen."

Miss Qiao lowered her head, staring at the toes that exposed the skirt. The goose-yellow embroidered shoes were embroidered with willows cut in the spring breeze, and they were already a bit old. She quietly retracted the embroidered shoes, hid them in the long skirt, lifted He turned his head to look at Zhen Miao.

"The county lord must not know how hard a concubine's life is, right?" She opened her mouth, "Clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, monthly money, housing, and servants who serve, everything is lower than that of a concubine's daughter. Wait, these can be tolerated, but even the people who marry are very different. I have three concubine sisters, one is married to his father's Shangfeng to fill in the house, and the other is married to the son of the Emperor Shang, because his father needs money for his job, There is another one who was disliked by his aunt. He is already 17 years old and is still detained at home. Am I going to see such a miserable fate befalling me? I am just fighting, what is wrong? The county lord You are already aloof and have nothing to worry about, why can't you raise your hand and fulfill me?"

Zhen Miao rubbed her brows and sighed: "Miss Qiao, I think you are very unreasonable."

"What?" Miss Qiao was stunned.

She was the one who slapped people casually, but she said she was making trouble for no reason?

Zhen Miao looked away, looked at the heavy pomegranate branches outside through the diamond-shaped window of the cubicle, and said in a calm voice, "Of course you can strive for happiness, but it's wrong for you to harm others. Why should my cousin worry about your misfortune? Responsible? Is it because you’re unlucky, you’re miserable, and you’re easily forgiven for doing something wrong? No, you don’t even think you did anything wrong.”

Miss Qiao was so choked by Zhen Miao that she couldn't speak for a long time, she became ruthless for a while, and said: "Master, I heard that you got married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion because you fought for it yourself..."

Zhen Miao glanced at her lightly: "Miss Qiao, is it because of this that you are not convinced and want to talk to me in private?"

Miss Qiao didn't say a word, obviously Zhen Miao had hit the mark.

For such a county lord with a flawed reputation, who obviously has the same methods as herself, but married into a noble family, she will certainly feel aggrieved.

"Okay, since we've finished talking, you should go home early and wake up from the bar." Zhen Miao didn't even intend to answer Miss Qiao's words.

Yes, what the other party said is also true, but it wasn't her who did that at the time.Even if it was her, why would she expose her fault and tell it to insignificant people?

Ms. Qiao stared at Zhen Miao's back dejectedly. She didn't know why she said this, was it because she was unwilling, or was she hoping to gain others' approval?

But she ruined her life's happiness, turned around and was still the high-ranking county lord, but after she went back, she might end up in the same fate as the third sister. If that was the case, she would rather die like this than go back to that cage again middle!

A cold light flashed in Miss Qiao's eyes, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled out the gold hairpin from her bun, stabbing at Zhen Miao's back heart.

Qing Dai, who had been acting like an invisible person all along, raised her foot decisively and kicked Miss Qiao away. Fortunately, she flew out and landed on the bed.

Zhen Miao bent down and picked up the golden hairpin, walked back and put it in Miss Qiao's hand, sighed: "Miss Qiao, you are so impulsive, does your aunt know?"

She didn't even look at Ms. Qiao, and floated away with Qing Dai.

Miss Qiao looked at the bloodstains on her palms drawn by the golden hairpin, and as if waking up from a dream, she hurriedly pressed down with a handkerchief, her legs moved out step by step as if they were filled with lead.

Mrs. Li knew in her heart that Ms. Qiao was so bold, and Li Shi's instigation was indispensable. She showed no affection for Li Shi, didn't even say hello, and left with Ms. Qiao.

In front of Jiang Shi, being treated like this by her natal family, Li Shi was ashamed and angry, and hated Zhen Miao half to death in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang was still not reconciled, although it was not easy to disclose the matter to the old lady, but someone passed the message to Uncle Zhen.

The nephew was promising, and Uncle Zhen was also slightly drunk that day. Hearing this, he was a little more impulsive than before, and went to Mrs. Li's place.

When they arrived at the door, they heard the cry of the child, followed by Li's scolding: "Hurry up and take him to the West Room, he's still crying at such a big age, it's giving me a headache."

Seeing Erbo Zhen standing at the door, Mrs. Li was stunned, and smiled for a long time: "Master, I thought you drank too much wine today and rested in the study in the front yard, why are you here at this time?"

For the first time, Uncle Zhen didn't answer Mrs. Li's words, but looked at his only son, Brother Li.

Brother Li has been around for more than two weeks now, when he saw his father coming in, he stopped sobbing, stretched out his arms like lotus joints, and softly shouted: "Daddy——"

Erbo Zhen bent down, picked up Brother Li, and said calmly: "Madam, since Brother Li has quarreled with you, then I will take him to rest elsewhere first, and you should rest earlier."

After walking out, facing the wind, Zhen Erbo stood in the courtyard but he didn't know where he was going.

No matter how bad Mrs. Li was, he couldn't take Brother Li to his concubine.

Bing'er and Yu'er don't have any real brothers, and they will depend on Brother Li for help in the future. Since he can send away Brother Li's biological mother early, why would he put him with other concubines and let them have a bad baby? Deserving mind.

"Father, where are you going?"

Erbo Zhen looked at the youngest son and smiled slightly: "Daddy will take you to the study, okay? If brother Li doesn't cry, daddy will draw you a tiger."

"Okay, okay." Brother Li's silver bell-like laughter came from the courtyard.

It vaguely spread to Li Shi's ears, and she was so angry that her heart ached. Zhen Miao complained.

Miss Qiao still had slap marks on her face when she went out, and although she kept the matter in the garden a secret, this appearance was still seen by some people, and later on Zhen Miao's reputation as domineering spread vaguely.

Zhen Miao laughed when she heard this.

Zhen Yan made an appointment with Zhen Miao to meet, and was very annoyed.

"Fourth sister, I have inquired about it, and it was the second aunt who casually said it before spreading it."

Zhen Miao's expression was strange: "Second Auntie thinks that she can't plot against Cousin Jiang, so she's blaming me? But doesn't she know that Fifth Sister and I are both girls from Jian'anbo Mansion, and I have a bad reputation, Fifth Sister At the critical point of negotiating marriage, what benefits can I get?"

Zhen Yan smiled wryly: "Isn't that the case? Let's just watch, Fifth Sister has been delayed by her for life."

Sure enough, the few families who showed interest in Zhen Bing at the banquet that day were silent again. Mrs. Li was so anxious that she went to urge Er Bo Zhen, who said: "Bing'er is not ready yet, don't rush to get married, slow down." Just take it easy."

The prince hasn't shown up for a long time, and the princes are ready to move. Under the muddy water, it's not a good time to get married.

This day Zhen Miao was feeding Jin Yan, but she heard the servant girl tell her that Mrs. Li had come. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to come)
