The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 101
In the days that followed, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't leave the gate, so the matter of the hairpin had to be left alone.She neither knew who did it, nor was she sure who was doing her harm.As Qinglian said, there are many people who know about hairpins, and the long-term tenant workers all know that although they will not harm her, it is inevitable that they made an unintentional mistake and caused trouble for themselves.

She just felt more and more that it is very important to be a human being in order to survive in the Qiao Mansion.She has no way to be like Qiao Qixiu, she has no sense of presence in Qiao's mansion.Then you can only live carefully as if walking on thin ice.So even though she stayed away all day long, she still asked Jinxiu to go outside to find out if there was any major event happening in Qiao's residence recently.

"Miss, something big has happened." Jinxiu trotted in all the way, Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Jinxiu nervously, maybe something bad happened again.But seeing a smile on Jinxiu's face, she breathed a sigh of relief, guessing it should be a good thing. "Jinxiu, tell me, what makes you so happy."

"Miss, today my wife gave all my aunts, misses, maidservants, and servants a reward." Jinxiu took out two silver coins from her bosom, "This is from my wife, and I helped to collect it. Miss, you think it's worth it." It's not worth being happy about."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. It is of course a very happy thing to be rich, but she wants to know why the wife rewards them, and the whole house has a share. It should be a happy event in the house, and it is a big deal Happy event, otherwise my wife wouldn't spend so much money to make everyone in the house happy.

"Jinxiu, tell me quickly, why does my wife want to give a reward?" Qiao Jiuxiu hasn't been out recently, so the news is a little bit closed.The news that can be heard are all Jinxiu who came to talk to her.Although this can avoid a lot of trouble, it will also miss a lot of precious first-hand information.

Jinxiu nodded slightly, and carefully leaned into Qiao Jiuxiu's ear and said, "Missy is favored by the emperor, and the emperor decided to let the master be promoted to the servant of the household department. It is said that he is a Beijing official. Doesn't he have a lot of face?" Although Jinxiu doesn't know what is Hubu Shilang, but just hearing the name, I think it's very good.

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly. Although the servant of the household department has a small official title, he has a lot of promises and is very useful.The master's promotion to the household department minister this time can bring the Qiao family to a higher level, no wonder the wife is so happy.It's just that the master is promoted to a capital official, and the whole family may have to move to the capital.The housewarming work that was previously prepared may be put on the agenda again. Qiao Liuxiu was in charge of this matter at the time, and it is estimated that his wife will let her continue to be in charge.Recently, she has always been in the limelight, and she is also liked by his wife. I am afraid that in the future in Qiao's mansion, she will live a life of wind and rain.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she didn't mind Qiao Liuxiu being favored, but Sixth Sister was always very dissatisfied with her, thinking of killing her whenever she had the chance.Although Qiao Liuxiu has restrained herself a bit recently, she always feels that she is waiting for an opportunity, and then kills herself, making it impossible for her to stand up again.

"Did Madam say when we're going to the capital?" Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh, thinking whether she should compete with Qiao Liuxiu and let herself be responsible for the housewarming.If she stopped earning performance, she would have no way to survive after Qiao Liuxiu gained power.But how to tell the wife, this is indeed a problem.

"It may be a while." Jinxiu had a strange expression on her face, as if she was hesitating to speak.Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Jinxiu suspiciously, and told her to speak quickly if she had something to say, not to be so hesitant.Jinxiu let out a sigh, "Miss, Master Zhiyi is here, he is the one who brought the news of the master's promotion. He also brought another thing, which is a dowry gift for you, thinking that he will marry you when he arrives in the capital. Now He is discussing the matter with his wife."

"What!" Qiao Jiuxiu stood up with a bang, Lin Zhiyi came to Qiao's mansion?And brought a dowry?She could barely stand.It's one thing that she doesn't like Lin Zhiyi, the wife has repeatedly warned her marriage that only he can make the decision.Now that Lin Zhiyi has spoken rashly, will his wife think that she deliberately instigated it?
Damn.Qiao Jiuxiu cursed slightly in her heart.He hurriedly said to Jinxiu who was standing at the side, "Jinxiu, quickly prepare clothes for me and comb my hair. It shouldn't be too complicated, as long as it's quick."

She was going to find Lin Zhiyi to make it clear that she really didn't have the slightest feeling for him.You should also make it clear to your wife that her marriage is up to your wife.Although she was unwilling to accept her fate, there was nothing she could do now.In the face of a tough fate, in order to survive in the Qiao Mansion, she could only compromise again and again.

Jinxiu nodded, helped Qiao Jiuxiu get dressed, and went out with her.

…………

As soon as Qiao Jiuxiu went out, she collided with Qinglian who was coming towards her.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu, Qinglian immediately showed a worried look in her eyes, "Miss Nine, do you know something big has happened?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Naturally, she knew that something serious had happened, so she planned to go out and have a look.Seeing that Qinglian was hesitant to speak again, she could only sigh softly, "Qinglian, we'll talk about this matter when we get back. You let me see my wife first, if it's too late, it will be too late."

Qinglian stopped Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss Jiu, you don't need to go. My wife is talking to Master Zhiyi. Although I can't hear what they said inside, the atmosphere is a bit subtle. The two seem to be arguing. I advise Jiu Miss still doesn't want to go. Anyway, whether you go or not, there is no way to change it. Why bother to get involved?"

"No, I'm going." Qiao Jiuxiu said with certainty, the reason why this matter dragged on like a mess, was because she had never made it clear from Lin Zhiyi that she had no possibility of being with him at all. , Let him have fantasies, that's why he can't let go.So she walked quickly and walked out of the yard. Qinglian didn't catch up, but shook her head slightly, as if she was not worthy of Lin Zhiyi.He came from a noble and famous family, and he was personable and knowledgeable. He didn't expect Qiao Jiuxiu to look down on him. I really don't know what kind of dragon and phoenix this Ninth Miss would like.

Although she knew that her wife would not betroth Miss Jiu to Lin Zhiyi, Qinglian was still somewhat worried.Thinking about what to do if the wife agreed to this marriage?You must know that Xiucai Qiao Liu said yesterday that she wanted to be the young mistress of the Lin family. Since she is now Miss Six's person, she must serve her wholeheartedly.So whatever Miss Six wants, she will do her best to get it.

"You should stay away from Jiumei's place in the future." Qinglian was startled by the sudden sound.When she turned her head, she saw Qiao Qixiu stopped where she was, looking at her wisely with a pair of eyes, completely different from her usual indifference.Qinglian frowned slightly, she always felt that Qiao Qixiu was a very difficult person to deal with.It's just that she has always kept a low profile in the Qiao Mansion, so she didn't take it to heart.

But if she wants to wade into this muddy water, then things will be much, much more complicated.

"Why can't I understand what Miss Seven is talking about?" Qing Lian bit her lips tightly, for now she could only pretend to be confused.

"Put away your tricks. You know what I'm going to tell you, pretending to be confused, can you pretend to be better than me?" Qiao Qixiu snorted coldly, and walked up to Qinglian in a few steps, "You should You must belong to Sixth Sister. While you pretend to be a good person in front of Ninth Sister, you seriously hurt her behind your back again and again. Don't argue, I know all the good things you have done."

Qiao Qixiu spoke with certainty, her eyes full of shrewdness.Qinglian understood the seriousness in her eyes, knowing that she couldn't deceive her, she could only nod her head. "Miss Seven, as maids, this is the only way we can survive. You are Miss, how can you know our difficulties?"

"No, I know." Qiao Qixiu smiled softly, "Otherwise, why do you think I should live in a low-key manner in Qiao's Mansion? I try my best to make myself insignificant, so that you won't point the finger at me."

"Miss Seven is indeed a smart person." Qinglian sighed, "But since Miss Seven knows everything, why do you help Miss Nine now? Isn't it the best thing to do nothing about it? If you don't participate in this matter, we will definitely not embarrass you, otherwise, you should know Miss Six's methods, and you will never give up until you achieve your goal."

"Do you think that if I let you go today, I will have a good life?" Qiao Qixiu let out a sigh, why didn't she want to turn a blind eye and let the matter pass like this.But she knew Qiao Liuxiu too well.She doesn't intend to make it easy for anyone at all, as long as someone gets in his way, she will find a way to get rid of that person.

Since the Qiao family is destined to need a concubine to help the wife manage the affairs of the Qiao family, she has no way to become that concubine, so she can only find a way to choose a decent person to be this person.Qiao Jiuxiu was much more suitable than Qiao Liuxiu, and she really couldn't understand Qiao Liuxiu's pressing on Qiao Jiuxiu every step of the way, so she chose to stand up.

"I promise, you will have a good life." Qinglian said sincerely.But he was muttering in his heart, he needed to find a time to tell Qiao Liuxiu to be careful of his seventh younger sister, this seventh younger sister was not easy.It's good for her to want to live in An An now, but if she has evil intentions one day, it will be troublesome.

She was afraid that the simple-minded Qiao Liuxiu would not be her opponent.

"Is your guarantee useful?" Qiao Qixiu smiled lightly, and naturally understood the unkindness in Qinglian's eyes, "Don't worry, I won't tell Jiumei about your affairs, I just hope you don't go too far when you do things in the future. There are gods above three feet."
