The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 120 Qinglian's thoughts are hard to guess
After Su Xiuniang left, Jinxiu who was guarding the door came in, with a worried expression on her face, "Miss, I saw that when Su Xiuniang left just now, the expression on Su Xiuniang's face was both happy and disappointed. What's wrong with her, you Do you know why?"

Are you both happy and disappointed?Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, she didn't know about it anymore.Putting your hand on Jinxiu's shoulder, "Call Qinglian over for me. Remember not to let anyone in when I'm talking to Qinglian. If anyone comes to see me, you must notify me in advance. And Jinxiu, I I don't want you to know what I said to Qinglian."

Qiao Jiuxiu spoke very seriously, indeed, what she wanted to say to Qinglian was also very serious.Jinxiu nodded, somewhat unhappy in her heart, Miss has a secret, she doesn't want to share it with herself, but wants to tell Qinglian.She knew that she was stupid and couldn't help, and there was a big gap in her heart for a while.Qiao Jiuxiu asked Jinxiu to go back to look for Qinglian, she needs to confirm one thing now.

A very important thing, why did she do it without telling herself?Is there a double heart, or is there a purpose?

What Su Xiuniang said just now also made Qiao Jiuxiu feel a little uncomfortable.Why did Qinglian try to curry favor with Su Xiuniang?She couldn't understand this point, so she was somewhat worried.

Qinglian walked in after a while.Looking around, she found that Su Xiuniang had disappeared.She leaned over to Qiao Jiuxiu's side, "Miss Jiu, is Su Xiuniang gone? She should be satisfied with you."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. When Su Xiuniang left, she really expressed her great satisfaction with herself. She said that she would come back in two or three days to guide her sketches.Qiao Jiuxiu raised her finger and pointed to the pastry on the table, "I heard Su Xiuniang said that this is her favorite pastry, I wonder if it was a coincidence? Or did you do some research beforehand? Qinglian, you are trying to please Su Xiuniang like this What are you doing?"

Qinglian was slightly taken aback, did Qiao Jiuxiu suspect that she had bad intentions?But the conscience of heaven and earth, she did not intend to deceive Qiao Jiuxiu on this matter, "Reporting to Miss Nine, Jinxiu came to me last night and said that Su Xiuniang asked you to use Shu embroidery, but you have never learned Shu embroidery, I am afraid you will have no choice today To satisfy her, I just want to cater to her liking and prepare something she likes to eat, which might make her feel better. Could it be that I am self-defeating?"

As Qinglian said, she watched Qiao Jiuxiu carefully.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh, well, she thought about it too much.But she couldn't help thinking about the next thing.

"Qinglian, actually I have one more thing I want to ask you." Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head lightly, "How are you going to tell me about Lin An? Why haven't you mentioned it to me? You should know what I'm doing now. Lin An is a very important person in the investigation of Yuzhi, if you don't tell me, it will inevitably make me doubt your intentions."

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, yesterday Lin An mentioned that the person who taught him how to write was Qinglian, and she and Lin An were fellow villagers, and the relationship between the two was very close.Lin An said that Qinglian also supported her taking Yuzhi away, but why didn't Qinglian mention such an important matter to herself from the beginning to the end?
"Have you met Lin An?" Qinglian's face turned pale almost instantly, and even her voice trembled.She never thought that Qiao Jiuxiu would know about Lin An, nor did she think that she would know so soon.And judging from Qiao Jiuxiu's tone, she should know a lot of things, otherwise she would use a questioning tone.This time, she really miscalculated.

Therefore, from the conversation just now to the present, Qiao Jiuxiu turned out to be full of hostility.

Has she already begun to doubt her?Qinglian shook her head slightly, she must explain Lin An's matter, although Qiao Jiuxiu will see her true face one day, but it must not be now, before she achieves her goal, she will always have to wear a layer of hypocrisy coat.Even though, in fact, she still prefers to be the villain herself.

"Yes, I have met Lin An." Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, "Yesterday was Yuzhi's birthday, I met Lin An, and Lin An told me everything about her and Yuzhi. Qinglian, actually these things You know it too."

Qinglian bit her lip, knowing that she couldn't hide it, she could only nod her head.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she never thought that Qinglian would lie to herself, and it was such an important clue, "Qinglian, why don't you tell me? Do you think I'm not trustworthy enough, or you don't want me to know about this at all Woolen cloth?"

Qinglian bit her lips tighter, and it took a long time before she slowly opened her mouth, "Miss, I don't want to tell you, but I hope you don't continue to investigate Yuzhi's matter. Madam is very tired of us mentioning that matter. The thing, you can’t offend your wife because of Yuzhi. I didn’t tell you because I wanted to wait for you to find out that no matter how you investigate, you can’t find out the truth, and you will think of giving up, but I didn’t expect you to know the clue of Lin An .”

"I've already said that I will investigate Yuzhi's matter to the end. Since you know, you should tell me everything." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, but she didn't know that this was a trap set by Qinglian.If she didn't want Qiao Jiuxiu to know the truth from the beginning, why did she lure Hongyu out?Let Qiao Jiuxiu find clues along the line of Hongyu.

In other words, she wanted Qiao Jiuxiu to find out about Yuzhi, but she didn't want her to find out the truth. All she wanted was to let his wife know that she was looking into this matter.As for the truth behind it, she will make it an eternal secret. Who killed Yuzhi can only be known by paying attention to herself.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, knowing that Qinglian was still doing it for her own benefit and didn't want her to go into the muddy water, so she deliberately concealed important clues. "Qinglian, let me tell you clearly. I hope you'd better tell me everything you know about this matter. I'll find out the truth as soon as possible and don't disturb my wife. Isn't that all right?"

Qinglian nodded, "Miss has her own reasons for saying this. But Qinglian really doesn't know anything. All I know is that Yuzhi has fallen in love with Lin An, and it's been a while since his wife wanted to marry Yu Zhi Xu was betrothed to the eldest young master to fill in the house, so the two are planning to elope, but something happened to Yu Zhi before they could figure out a specific countermeasure."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and sighed softly, "That's why I said, some things happened so suddenly that people couldn't predict them at all. Qinglian, you must help me. I am sure about the truth of this matter." Gotta know."

Qinglian pursed her lips in embarrassment, and nodded.

"Ah, Ruyi, why are you here? Did you have something to ask Miss?" Jinxiu's voice sounded at the door, and Qinglian and Qiao Jiuxiu exchanged glances, knowing that they couldn't talk about this topic anymore, otherwise it would attract Ruyi's attention.You must know that Ruyi is a popular person around the wife. Once she knows this news, it will definitely reach the ears of the wife as soon as possible, and it will be troublesome at that time.

Ruyi pushed the door open, but inside was a different scene.

"Qinglian, I heard from Jinxiu that you have done some research on Shu embroidery before. I asked you to come here, and I want you to tell me about it. Sister Su asked me to focus on Shu embroidery this time. What do you usually embroider in Shu embroidery? Is there anything in particular?"

"Reporting to Miss Nine, Qinglian has only learned a little superficiality, but because Bashu is close to Gansu, the unique auspicious cloud patterns there will often appear in the embroidered cloth." Qiao Jiuxiu saw that Ruyi came in, so she changed the topic and changed it by the way. Shu embroidery body.Her reaction was pretty good, but it was clear that Qinglian's reaction was even better, because she was able to give the answer in such a short time. Although it might not be correct, it was enough to deceive Ruyi.At least it can be proved that they were indeed discussing the issue of Shu embroidery just now.

"Hey, Ruyi, why did you come here? Could it be that my wife asked you to come over and ask me about the progress of my wedding dress. Qinglian, you should step back first. I will wait for a while for details, and I will definitely ask you for advice."

Qinglian nodded, then retreated.However, she didn't go far, and stopped at the door. Seeing that Jinxiu was also standing at the door with a worried face, she shook her head slightly, "Jinxiu, I always feel that Ruyi's coming here this time is not just a simple matter of asking about the progress."

Ruyi's expression just now was extremely serious, if she was simply asking about the progress, she wouldn't show that look.

Jinxiu nodded and wanted to eavesdrop, but was stopped by Qinglian.Qinglian said that the walls have ears now, and many people are watching them. If it is eavesdropping, it may be too obvious. In the future, Qiao Jiuxiu will protect them, but there is no other way. The only way now is to run away first.

Jinxiu felt that Qinglian had talked a lot, so the two withdrew.

As Qinglian thought, it was indeed not easy for Ruyi to come here this time.Ruyi found a place to sit down. Although she is a maid, her status in Qiao's residence is higher than that of ordinary ladies. Many people are waiting to curry favor with her so that she can speak well in front of his wife.Everyone is also afraid of her. They are afraid that if they offend her, they will let their wife hear something they shouldn't hear, and then suffer disaster.

"Miss Nine must be very busy recently, and the matter of the wedding dress is very urgent." Ruyi said, with a strange feeling in her tone.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. This wedding dress is only available for more than a month. She still has a lot of things to do. Naturally, she is very busy and in a hurry, and there are also things about Yuzhi. Sometimes she wants to be a part of herself again.

"But I think Miss Nine should be very leisurely." Ruyi glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu lightly, "There are some things that you shouldn't meddle in, but why should you bother?"
