The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 128

"Just believe me." Ye Duanyi didn't know how to explain, she could only look at Qiao Jiuxiu seriously, and Qiao Jiuxiu could only nod her head half understanding.

Because she was wearing men's clothes, Qiao Jiuxiu planned to go to her house with Ye Duanyi first, and then change clothes before going back to Qiao's courtyard.Because there was a distance between the two, Qiao's family would not come over, so Qiao Jiuxiu was assured that she would not meet acquaintances.Anyway, she has many reasons to find Ye Duanyi now, even if she gets tired of being together all day, no one will think it's wrong.

So the two came to Ye Duanyi's room, only to find Qinglian standing outside the door respectfully and anxiously. Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi coming back, they hurriedly greeted her, "Miss Nine, Miss Duanyi, you are finally back." Yes. The young master is inside, and he seems very angry."

"Shaotang?" Ye Duanyi gave Qinglian a strange look, what did Qiao Shaotang do here?And why get angry?Qiao Jiuxiu also looked at Qinglian suspiciously, hoping that Qinglian could explain.Qinglian sighed, "The thing is like this, I was chatting with Jinxiu and Hongxiu, and I didn't notice that the young master suddenly approached. At that time, we happened to be talking about Miss and Miss Duanyi going out to play together. The young master listened I was very angry, so I came here to find you."

When Qinglian said this, she buried her head very low, "Miss Jiu, I was wrong. I didn't know that the young master was eavesdropping. If he knew, he would definitely not know."

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, now is not the time to blame Qinglian, I just hope that only the eldest brother knows about this matter, the most the eldest brother knows is to scold herself, and the scolding is because of worry.But if his wife finds out about this, then he can only walk away without food. "Sister Duanyi, let's go in."

Anyway, you can't hide, so it's better to go in early.

Ye Duanyi also nodded, and then they pushed the door open and entered.With his back to them, Qiao Shaotang turned around when he heard footsteps, with a rare seriousness and anger on his face. "Jiumei, where have you been?"

Qiao Jiuxiu was just about to explain.But he found that the veins on Qiao Shaotang's forehead were about to be exposed, "You are still wearing men's clothes, Jiumei, do you know what will happen to you if your wife sees you like this?"

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled a little embarrassedly, the wife would probably just peel off her skin.From my wife's point of view, women, especially young ladies, must stay out of the door and never step out of the door. Even if they must go out, they must sit in a carriage and sedan chair to minimize the chance of showing their faces outside.If she knew that the daughter of the Qiao family disguised herself as a woman and went out to play secretly, she would be served by the family law at least, or confinement for a year or so at worst. No matter what the specific punishment was, it would be enough for Qiao Jiuxiu to drink a pot.

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu lower her head, Qiao Shaotang knew that she had realized her mistake, and sighed slightly, "Ninth Sister, I don't blame you for this matter, after all, it's not entirely your fault. It's just Miss Ye, I beg you not to Let's take Jiumei out to play again, Qiao's family education is strict, you don't want Jiumei to be punished, do you?"

Ye Duanyi nodded, she didn't like Qiao Shaotang's stern appearance, she always felt like a different person.And she understood what he said just now.Qiao Shaotang clearly said that his family education was not strict, which is why he behaved like this.She bit her lips tightly, thinking that her mother had left early, she didn't watch her grow up, and her father was a general, so naturally she wouldn't be too attached to her, so it wasn't his fault that she developed such a character Bar.And it is really impolite to say that one has no tutor.

"Master Qiao, I'm sorry, our Ye family doesn't have a tutor, I made you laugh." Ye Duanyi snorted coldly, said this sentence calmly, and then found a place to sit down.She was a little dissatisfied with Qiao Shaotang, they hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was so hard to see each other, before she had time to speak, he sternly reprimanded her.She, Ye Duanyi, has always been held in the hands of others. When did she suffer from such grievances?
"Duanyi took this opportunity, you misunderstood, elder brother didn't mean that." Seeing Ye Duanyi angry, Qiao Jiuxiu quickly explained to the peacemaker, "Brother is just too worried about us, after all, we two little girls are away from home, he It's normal to be worried."

Hearing this, the expression on Ye Duanyi's face softened a little, and she slightly raised her eyes to look at Qiao Shaotang, "Are you worried about me?"

Qiao Shaotang didn't understand the dark look in Ye Duanyi's eyes, but his tone was still cold, "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about my ninth sister. She doesn't know where she lives in the capital, and she doesn't know who to go shopping with. Now, in case something happens along the way, can I not worry?"

Qiao Jiuxiu tugged on Qiao Shaotang's sleeve. She didn't want her eldest brother to quarrel with Duanyi's sister because of herself, causing a rift between them. You must know that they are going to be husband and wife soon, so nothing unexpected can happen at this time. "Brother, don't blame sister Duanyi, it's my first time in the capital, and I think everything is very novel, so I asked sister Duanyi to take me out for a stroll."

She knew that she had never been good at lying, but Qiao Shaotang had always been dull, so she probably couldn't tell.

Qiao Shaotang glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu lightly, her excuse just now was really clumsy, "Ninth Sister, could it be that you thought it was the first day I met you, I know what kind of person you are, if someone didn't force you, you wouldn't even You won’t even come out of the room, let alone the mansion’s door?”

Qiao Jiuxiu pursed her lips, well, she was wrong, she really can't tell a lie, and she was caught by a single sentence.I heard Qiao Shaotang continue to say, "Ninth younger sister doesn't need to cover up for others. Before my wife knows it, hurry up and change your clothes."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, but Qiao Shaotang didn't leave, and she couldn't change clothes.But she still didn't have the guts to issue an order to evict Qiao Shaotang.Although when Qiao Shaotang was usually gentle and refined, she could bully him when she felt like it, but now he looks like a stranger who should not enter, so she should not provoke him.He could only smile awkwardly.But I was a little worried in my heart, my eldest brother wouldn't dislike sister Duanyi because of this matter.If that's the case, her crime will be serious.

Qiao Shaotang glanced at Ye Duanyi again, "Miss Ye, I think you understand one thing, it's up to you how crazy you want to be, but please don't bring my Ninth Sister, she is still a child, I don't know what to do How to distinguish between good and evil, I hope you can influence her less."

Ye Duanyi glanced at Qiao Shaotang, she understood what he said. "Master Qiao, do you think Jiumei will learn to be bad if she follows me? Or do you think I, Ye Duanyi, are just so unbearable? If that's the case, why did you marry me?"

Seeing that Ye Duanyi was also angry, Qiao Jiuxiu was about to speak up to persuade her. A quarrel hurts feelings very much, but this is their business, how should she intervene.

"Qinglian, take Jiumei down to change clothes." Qiao Shaotang ignored Ye Duanyi's words just now, just let Qinglian come in, and took Qiao Jiuxiu to the inner hall to change clothes.Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to stay, at least they wouldn't quarrel if she was here, but she was dragged by Qinglian to the back hall, "Miss Jiu, this is a private matter between the young master and Miss Duanyi, you should not get involved good."

"But I'm afraid they will quarrel." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, and said worriedly while changing the men's clothes. "Qinglian, do you know that quarreling hurts the most. They will soon be husband and wife, and it's not good to quarrel at this time."

"Miss, you are wrong to think so." Qinglian comforted Qiao Jiuxiu while changing her clothes, "As far as I know, there is no husband and wife who does not quarrel, and quarreling is also a way to understand each other. Isn't there a saying that husband and wife Is it a fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed? Don't worry about it. And miss, if this husband quarrels, we as outsiders had better not intervene. "

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, feeling that Qinglian's words made sense.So after changing his clothes, he simply left through the back door, thinking of giving Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi some opportunities and space to get along alone.

In the outer room, Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi were still looking at each other coldly.What Ye Duanyi said just now was a little too much, and she regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth.She looked up at Qiao Shaotang pitifully, but Qiao Shaotang had his back to Ye Duanyi, so he didn't see her expression.

"Miss Ye, let me tell you the truth today. I will marry you because of the engagement between the two families. If I were to choose, the person in my heart may not be you."

Although Qiao Shaotang's words were not serious, Ye Duanyi's body trembled suddenly, she shook her head lightly and sighed, she knew that Qiao Shaotang didn't really like her.But because of this marriage, he couldn't say no.

"In the future, I will also try to live with you and respect each other as guests, but I ask you to restrain yourself and stop letting Jiumei be scolded by your wife because of you." Qiao Shaotang said very seriously. "You don't want to either. She is squeezed out everywhere in Qiao's house, and she is disliked by her wife."

Ye Duanyi nodded, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." She really didn't think about what happened today.And she didn't dare to tell Qiao Shaotang what happened to Qiao Jiuxiu's surprise. After he found out, he would definitely blame herself severely.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, I'll go back first, you can take care of yourself." Qiao Shaotang dropped these words, and then left the room.Ye Duanyi sighed helplessly, if she didn't guess wrong.

He's probably bored with himself.

She is a woman and has always had a very accurate intuition.
