The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 147

Ye Duanyi nodded slightly. She had a lot of grievances in her heart, but she never dared to show it in front of her wife. You must know that Qiao Shaotang never came to visit her since her wedding.Even if they meet on the road sometimes, it's just a few cold greetings. Those who know know that they are husband and wife, but those who don't know think that they are not even friends who met by chance.And she felt more and more that Qiao Shaotang was always avoiding her, even if she wanted to chat with him, there was nothing she could do.

However, she could only complain about these words in front of Qiao Jiuxiu, but she absolutely didn't want her wife to know, if she knew, she probably would feel uncomfortable again.Although Qiao Shaotang treated her badly, she still didn't want his wife to punish Qiao Shaotang for her own sake, which would make her feel too sorry.So Ye Duanyi could only slowly nodded, "Don't worry, madam, Shaotang treats me very well."

The wife nodded, and was very satisfied with Ye Duanyi's answer. How many eyeliners are there in Qiao's house? Has Qiao Shaotang ever been to Ye Duanyi's side? She specifically asked Ye Duanyi about Qiao Shaotang's situation. The reason why she asked that question was because she wanted to know Ye Duanyi's answer. She thought that Ye Duanyi was going to make a small report secretly, but she didn't expect that she misunderstood this girl. . "So, of course it's great. You are still young, and some things must be done as soon as possible. I want to have a grandson sooner."

Ye Duanyi's face was slightly rosy, but she still nodded slightly.The wife was very satisfied, and said that in a few days, she would take the whole family to pray to the gods and worship Buddha, first to thank him for taking care of Qiao's family in the past, second to ask about the geomantic omen of Qiao's new home, and third to help Ye Duanyi count the children , to see when she can conceive the Qiao family's child.Although Qinglian is pregnant now, Qinglian was born as a servant girl. Even if she really gave birth to a boy in the future, she will still be a son of a concubine and cannot inherit the Qiao family's business.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi exchanged greetings with their wife, then got up and left, Qiao Jiuxiu saw Ye Duanyi lowered his head when he left, looking thoughtful, which made her feel very distressed. Gently patted Ye Duanyi on the shoulder, "Sister Duanyi, don't be sad anymore. Believe me, one day, big brother will see you well. Believe me, when that day comes, he will definitely like you of."

Hearing what Qiao Jiuxiu said, Ye Duanyi blushed in embarrassment, and nodded embarrassingly, "Jiumei, you are the best. No, no, I must let the second brother hurry up and marry you home Go, I'm afraid I'll miss you, he'll cry."

Although it was just a joke, Ye Duanyi said it very seriously, and Qiao Jiuxiu thought she was serious, so she shook her head again and again, "Sister Duanyi, just let me go, it really won't work. My marriage requires a wife After all, my wife may not let me marry your second brother."

For the wife, there is only one meaning for the existence of a concubine, which is used as a bargaining chip to build a good relationship with dignitaries.The wife has already asked the eldest brother to marry sister Duanyi, and the alliance with the Ye family is already very strong, so there is no need to sacrifice her to marry the Ye family. In other words, the wife intends to let Qiao Jiuxiu go to another powerful family.As for who it is, my wife hasn't figured it out yet.

"Why is it impossible? It's up to people. I'll go and talk to my wife right now." Ye Duanyi was about to go back and tell his wife what Qiao Jiuxiu said just now.Seeing this, Qiao Jiuxiu quickly pulled Ye Duanyi back, "My aunt, are you helping me, or are you cheating me?"

"Of course I'm helping you." Ye Duanyi patted her chest slightly, "Jiumei, don't worry, I will be able to convince my wife."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled helplessly. The person she wants to persuade now is the wife. If the wife can be persuaded so easily, is she still the wife? "Sister Short Ji, I appreciate your kindness. I really don't want to be with Ye Yulang. So you don't have to provoke your wife for me."

Ye Duanyi pursed her lips, wondering if her second brother wasn't good enough that Qiao Jiuxiu didn't like him.But the second elder brother is capable of writing and martial arts, has a personable manner, and is very good at dealing with people and things. She really can't find a reason to make Qiao Jiuxiu despise him.Forget it, wait for a long time to have time to discuss with the second brother in detail, she still has a lot to do now, so she won't joke with Qiao Jiuxiu.

"By the way, Jiumei, you said that the sisters and aunts donated jewelry to help Qiao's family overcome the difficulties. Is it reliable or not?" Ye Duanyi changed the subject and said down to business.

"Should, I don't want to." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed. Those jewelry are the lifeblood of young ladies and aunts. Those who are not married say it is a dowry, and married aunts regard jewelry as money, thinking that there is no such thing, only When you have something in your hand, you will not feel anxious and restless in your heart.

Ye Duanyi nodded, she thought so too.But what should they do now?Only then can the ladies and aunts take out the jewelry?This is indeed a very serious question, and she couldn't think of a reason for it for a while, Qiao Jiuxiu stood aside, she had no choice but to wait to talk to them clearly, and then let Ye Duanyi and herself set an example, In this way, no one would object and would take out their own jewelry, but in this way, the people in the house would probably hate themselves even more.

Forget it, since she took over this task, she had already guessed that today would be the day, so she was mentally prepared.Knowing that the next period of time would be bloody, Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi hid in the courtyard together, and asked Jinxiu and Hongxiu to go out to collect the jewelry donated by ladies and aunts.My wife has already given special instructions on this matter, so even if the other concubines and aunts complained, they had to hand over the jewelry to Jinxiu and Hongxiu.

At night, Qiao Qixiu begged to see her. Mei Xiang followed what Qiao Jiuxiu said, only the Seventh Miss told her that she was there, and the others would never see her, so she led Qiao Qixiu to the backyard. Be more well-behaved.And as Miss Nine gradually gained power, she also ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs, and the little dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.

"Seventh Sister, you're finally here. I haven't seen any visitors this day, but I'm just waiting for you to tell me the outside news." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, knowing that the Qiao Mansion must be very lively right now, isn't he He dared to go out, so he wanted Qiao Qixiu to tell him about the situation outside.Qiao Qixiu nodded, seeing that Ye Duanyi was also there, she sighed softly, "When I came here, I met Jinxiu and Hongxiu, because the matter was explained by my wife, so the two of them had a lot of jewelry in their hands, but only on their faces. The look on his face was a little bit bad, saying that he was scolded very badly."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Such an end was naturally within her expectations, and she was a little worried about Jinxiu and Hongxiu's ability to bear it. Although she had already told them about it before, she just pretended that nothing happened. The right ear came out, but I was worried that these two little girls would take it seriously, so I was still somewhat worried.

Qiao Qixiu nodded, "Actually, the situation of Hongxiu and Jinxiu should be fine on the surface. Although they were scolded miserably, which maid has not been scolded by the master? As long as it is not particularly ugly, it will not hurt them. And they He acted according to his wife's order, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, no one will take action."

"That's good." Qiao Jiuxiu breathed out, "By the way, the situation outside is okay, the scene is not out of control."

"No." Qiao Qixiu was a little uneasy, "Although there is a little storm, it always feels like the tranquility before the storm. Maybe this tranquility is still pretending, because knowing that I am getting close to you now, maybe It's because they don't want to tell you the real situation, so even in front of me, some things are hard to say."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, in fact, she had guessed this situation a long time ago.It can be seen that Qiao Qixiu still has some hesitation and hesitation, so she continued to ask, "Sister Qi, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I'm prepared for those ugly words, and you don't have to hide it from me, just tell me the truth." That's it."

Qiao Qixiu sighed, as if she was still deliberating on how to speak, and finally said after a long time, "I went to see Aunt Zhao in the afternoon, and Aunt Zhao said, why did she give birth to such a daughter? My mother-in-law will not let it go. She also said that all the jewelry she saved was for your dowry, and now it’s all gone.”

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip. Although Aunt Zhao was only her own mother, she still had feelings after all, so she wanted to call her Auntie.After hearing what Qiao Qixiu told Aunt Zhao, she still felt a little uncomfortable. "When this matter is over, I will personally go and make amends to her. There are other young ladies and aunts. My wife said that after this period of time, I will have more money, which will benefit everyone."

"Let's talk about this later." Qiao Qixiu pulled Qiao Jiuxiu to sit down, "Right now I'm only worried that they will do something extraordinary. It is said that the third sister, the fifth sister and the sixth sister are all in Qinglian's room. Know what they are plotting, in short, don't want me to get close."

"Why did they all come together?" Qiao Jiuxiu was a little puzzled. The third sister had always had conflicts with the fifth sister, and the fifth sister had always disliked the sixth sister. Why did such a group of people gather together?And what are they going to do?If she were to deal with herself, what method should she think of to get herself out?After talking a few more words with Qiao Qixiu before sending her away, the uneasiness in my heart spread.
