Chapter 58
Qiqiao nodded, "This is Mrs. Liang."

Shen Tu was surprised, "What is she here for?"

Qi Qiao said, "It's because of Second Miss."

Qi Yue?

She asked Qiqiao, "Could it be that you are here to talk about marriage?"

"It's indeed about marriage," Qiqiao replied, "it's just not a good marriage."

Shen Cu couldn't understand Qiqiao's words. Since Mrs. Liang had already taken the initiative to talk about the marriage, it meant that she accepted Qi Yue as her daughter-in-law, so it wasn't a good marriage.

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Liang wants the Second Miss to be the concubine of Young Master Mu."

"What about the main room?" Shen Tu asked.

"It's Princess Pingyang." Although this second young lady is the master of his own family, if she were to be Liang Shi, she might not be as magnanimous as Liang Shi.

A woman who has lost her innocence is unacceptable to ordinary people, let alone the famous and promising Duke Mu's mansion.

She felt that Liang's ability to allow the second lady to be a concubine was already generous enough.

"What about the second sister?" Shen Tu asked, "She agrees?"

"Second Miss is not willing." Qiqiao said, "But the adults agreed."

Shen Cu felt a little surprised that Qi Ting'an was also a third-rank official in the court. Although he was in the Duke's mansion, he was still a concubine. His own daughter married to the Duke's mansion as a concubine, and it would be unpleasant to say it.

"Although it is a concubine's room, but Young Master Mu likes the second young lady." Qiqiao continued, "Look at Aunt Wang, although she is a concubine's room, except for her name, she is no worse than the eldest lady."

Although what Qiqiao said is true, but concubines are always concubines, and concubines cannot enter the hall of elegance.

No matter how favored a concubine's room is, it can't be worth a concubine.

Anyway, she Shen Tu would not be a concubine, she would be a wife if she wanted to, and her Shen Tu man should never have a concubine.

"It's a pity that something like that happened to the second lady." Qiqiao sighed, "If it didn't happen like that, it would be better not to go to the Duke's mansion to be a concubine, but to marry a good family with a good family."

Shen Tu didn't speak, she didn't care whether Qi Yue would marry into the Duke's mansion as a concubine, she just became more and more curious about who Qi Yue was.

Her demeanor, her tone of voice, seemed to have been seen somewhere.

The former Qi Ye.

Shen Tu suddenly realized that the current Qi Yue has many similarities with the former Qi Ye. As soon as something happened to the Xiao family, she was forced to divorce by her life, and when she turned around, she wanted to marry Mu Chi.

Qi Qiao said that the scars on Hongyan's body, and beating and scolding Hongyan in the room, these behaviors were all what Qi Ye would do in the past.

So after falling into the water that time, she and Bai Lianhua actually switched bodies, she became Qi Ye, and she became Qi Yue.

It's just - does she really not remember anything?
"Miss, ma'am?"

"…What's wrong?"

"You said that the second young lady committed suicide last time because of this?" Qi Qiao asked speculatively.

"Maybe."

"Second Miss might have known about it before, and she didn't want to, so she wanted to commit suicide." Qiqiao felt that her guess was right.

"By the way, Qiqiao, go ask the cook to make some almond cakes." She had forgotten the important thing.

Qiqiao replied, "I'll go right away."

Ever since Qi Ye's body was taken by Shen Tu, the relationship between Qi Qiao and the servants in the mansion has become better, Qi Qiao often gets together with them, and listens to them gossip about the big Qi capital. .

Qiqiao came to the back kitchen and said to the lazy Chef Yang, "Chef, my lady wants to eat some almond cake."

Chef Yang raised his eyes to look at Qiqiao, then looked down again.

Qiqiao hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the stuff into Chef Yang's hand.

Chef Yang immediately changed his attitude, he said, "Today I just happen to be making almond cake."

"Then trouble the chef to save some more for our lady."

Chef Yang simply agreed, "It's easy to say."

Almond Cake is Chef Yang's specialty snack, the master of the academy loves it, and so do the wives and ladies in the mansion.

Qi Qiao was afraid that the almond cake would be taken away by others later, so she simply waited here.

"Do you know why Mrs. Liang agreed to let the second lady be a concubine?" Chef Yang suddenly said to Qiqiao.

Qiqiao also asked casually, "Why?"

"My aunt works in Duke Mu's mansion," Cook Yang said, "and is also the close mother of Mrs. Liang."

"really?"

"It's absolutely true, if I lie to you, I will choke to death today after eating."

Qiqiao thought to herself that this was unnecessary, why bother to make such a vicious oath.

So she nodded, "I believe."

……

Qiqiao went back with the freshly made almond cake, and Chef Yang took the benefits, so she wanted to give Qiqiao more points.

Qiqiao put the neatly arranged plates of almond cakes on the table, and shouted, "Miss, the almond cakes are back."

It was quiet in the room, no one was there.

She wondered, Miss, where did she go again?
Shen Tu went to Qiyueyuan, she wanted to find out if she was her.

Qi Yue was not in the house, Hongyan said that she had gone to the old lady's place.

"I'm waiting for her here." She said to Hongyan.

Hongyan asked, "Miss Fifth, do you want to see our lady?"

"I have something to say to my second sister."

"But Second Miss..." Hongyan wanted to say that Second Miss didn't like others being alone in her room.

"If you are worried, you can..."

Before Shen Tu finished speaking, Hongyan shook her head, "But I don't know when Miss will come back."

It has been almost half an hour since Qi Yue went to the old lady's place. She originally wanted to follow the young lady every step of the way, but the young lady refused, and she could only give up as a maid.

"Hongyan." Shen Tu called her.

"The red mark on your arm," Shen Tu stopped beating around the bush, "it was the second sister who beat you, right?"

Hongyan suddenly panicked, she kept tugging on her cuffs, her eyes dodged.

"Why did the second sister beat you?"

"What did you do wrong?"

"Why did Chunrong die?"

Shen Tu's repeated questions made Hongyan even more panicked.

"Hongyan, you don't need to lie to me."

Shen Tu looked at the terrified Hongyan, she knew she was right.

"Hongyan, tell me, did Chunrong really hang himself?"

Hongyan nodded.

"Why did she commit suicide?"

If Chunrong really committed suicide, what was the reason?
She knew Chunrong, she would not choose to die for no reason.

Hongyan shook her head, "I don't know, I really don't know."

Shen Tu got to the bottom of it, "I don't know or can't tell?"

Chunrong was already kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Hongyan, what are you afraid of?"

Hongyan must know something, she won't be unable to feel Qi Yue's changes, otherwise she wouldn't be what she is now, like a frightened bird.

Was Chunrong's death related to that person, or was it related to Qi Yue?
"My fifth sister has been waiting for a long time." Qi Yue came back.

"Second sister, I came here without warning." The expression on Shen Tu's face has returned to normal, as if nothing happened just now.
