The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 16

When Qiao Jiuxiu returned to the house, Jinxiu had already returned.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu walking in from the door, Jinxiu was a little surprised, but she immediately showed a bright smile, "Miss, you should have gone out for a walk a long time ago, and you have been holding back in the room, but you will be exhausted. I will tell you You made white fungus and lotus seed soup, which is very nourishing, and you have been busy making clothes recently, it has been hard work."

"Yes, it's been hard work." Qiao Jiuxiu was not polite, and drank the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the cup. Sure enough, she was bound by a cup of hot drink in winter, and she felt that her whole body became warmer. "Jinxiu, did you make yourself a bowl? It tastes really good."

Jinxiu shook her head, she was a servant, so she knew her duties as a servant, so things like white fungus and lotus seed soup were not something she could drink. "Miss, by the way, Miss Six came here just now, but she saw that you were not here, so she left again. Why don't we go look for her later, she should come here for something."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Although she has many sisters, they all go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Sixth Sister must have something important to do when she comes here.Just don't know what's going on?Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, and suddenly had her own thoughts. "Jinxiu, let's not rush to find Sixth Sister first, you go and help me call Mei Xiang, Liu Er and the other maids over."

She used to intend not to offend others, but if someone has already bullied her, then she still has to teach her a lesson.Otherwise, she will definitely think that she is easy to bully, and then she will never have peace.

Jin Xiu nodded, and after a while, Liu'er, Mei Xiang, and the other two maidservants arrived.Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Qiao Jiuxiu's gourd.But Mei Xiang held her head high, she didn't take this little master who was a concubine at all.Her mother belonged to his wife, so she naturally wouldn't be afraid of Qiao Jiuxiu.

"I asked you to come here today because I found out that there is someone else's eyeliner in our house, who sold the information here to others. This kind of behavior makes me very angry. I hope that person can take the initiative to stand up and admit his crime. " Qiao Jiuxiu told Jinxiu to close the door, then said coldly.His eyes swept over a few servant girls, with a look of calm and prestige.Jinxiu felt a little strange, it was the first time she saw such an aura exuding from Qiao Jiuxiu.

She always thought that Miss Nine was very weak, and she definitely would not have such a ruthless aura.It didn't occur to her that she always looked good at people, but she also lost her sight.

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, and then locked their eyes on Mei Xiang.It is well known that Mei Xiang is dissatisfied with working at Qiao Jiuxiu's side, and wishes to leave here someday.So she is the most likely ghost or something.Their speculation is also very reasonable.

"Hey, what are you doing looking at me like this? I really didn't do this." Mei Xiang felt that everyone was focusing on her, and although she didn't panic, she still explained quickly.She disdains to work here, but she can't just pour this pot of dirty water on her body casually. "And, why do you say I did it?"

"Mei Xiang didn't do this." Qiao Jiuxiu said.She never doubted Mei Xiang from the beginning, because Mei Xiang didn't bother to use such a small trick to harm her. Mei Xiang must have felt that instead of dirtying her hands, it would be better to simply let Qiao Jiuxiu fend for herself.In fact, a woman like Mei Xiang who is consistent in appearance and inside is easy to deal with. What Qiao Jiuxiu fears most is the kind of person who does one thing to the face and another to the back.That's the most dangerous thing.

"Who would have done that? Miss, why do you doubt us?" A maid asked dissatisfied.Qiao Jiuxiu was not angry either, she thought that if you were wronged, you would be very dissatisfied.So with such emotions, she will not be angry.

"I suspect that you have a basis." Qiao Jiuxiu said, pointing to the vase on the table and continued, "This vase has magical powers, anyone who does something bad will be caught by it, and there is nowhere to hide. It tells me that there are ghosts among you. It is actually very simple to prove your innocence, just put your hand in it. As for the result, it will tell us later. "

This is the simplest psychological game. As for the tricks in it, almost everyone can guess one or two now, but now in ancient times, this trick can definitely catch the real ghost, and she doesn't want to use it. This method caught the inner ghost, but she had no other choice.

If the inner ghost is allowed to exist, her safety will be severely tested.

"Just touch it." Mei Xiang was the first to stretch her hand in, followed by Jinxiu.Others didn't understand it, but they did it anyway.Qiao Jiuxiu asked them to spread their hands, and checked one by one, and finally stood still in front of one of them, and let out a soft breath, as if he was planning something.

"Liu'er, why did you betray me?" Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, with deep regret, besides Jinxiu, she trusted Liu'er the most, she never expected to be deceived by her in the end.

Liu'er took a step back, she couldn't hide the panic on her face, but she quickly calmed down, thinking that Qiao Jiuxiu had no evidence at all, and she must be able to deceive her.Qiao Jiuxiu pointed to Liu'er's hand. She put the flour in the vase just now, but her hand was not stained with anything. It was obvious that she had a guilty conscience and dared not touch it.This is just a simple trick, I didn't expect to be able to see the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

"You should admit it." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed again, and put her hand on Liu'er's shoulder, "I don't want my wife to know about this yet, otherwise once I say it, you think the master behind you, Will he protect you? Will anyone else dare to take a maid who even sells her master?"

It's rare for Qiao Jiuxiu to reprimand someone in such a serious manner, but she is not a fish to be slaughtered in her bones.It's not the first time Liu'er has sold her own news to others, and she can't stop pampering her.Liu'er's face turned pale obviously.

It's time to give a warning.And it can also kill chickens to warn monkeys, and knock mountains and tigers by the way. "Liu'er, I'll give you one last chance, if you don't admit it, I don't mind bringing this matter to my wife's side."

"Miss, I was wrong this time, please forgive Liu'er this time." Liu'er knelt down in a panic, Qiao Jiuxiu's words just now made her wake up, even if something happened to her, the person behind her A master, I'm afraid he won't protect her.But if she is asked to tell who is behind it now, she is afraid of retaliation.

She is really in a dilemma now, it's not easy to be a man at both ends, if she knew it earlier, she wouldn't be greedy for such petty gains.

"So it turned out to be you, a little bitch. Fortunately, Miss has a magic weapon, otherwise I would be the one who suffered." Mei Xiang kicked Liu'er. This is the kind of maid she dislikes the most, and she was almost wronged. , "Tell me, who are you helping?"

Liu Er hesitated and didn't dare to speak, Qiao Jiuxiu put her hand on the table, took a sip from her teacup, "Forget it, I don't want to know who is behind you, but don't do such a thing in the future coming."

Liu'er nodded repeatedly, never expecting that Qiao Jiuxiu would let her go like this.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh, she didn't want to take Liu'er into surgery, but in order not to live under other people's surveillance, she could only do so.

"You all go down, I'm tired." Qiao Jiuxiu issued the order to evict the guests, and several maidservants walked out.But Jinxiu sat down and pushed Qiao Jiuxiu's body, "Miss, you were really amazing just now."

Is it great?Qiao Jiuxiu smiled self-deprecatingly. In fact, when she reprimanded Liu'er just now, she was always in a state of anxiety.Qiao Jiuxiu, who is used to forbearance, is very tiring to play hard, for example, she was sweating all over just now.

"Jinxiu, help me get some water, I want to take a bath, I'm really tired recently." Qiao Jiuxiu stretched her waist, Jinxiu nodded, got up and went to fetch water.

Walking to the door, Jinxiu suddenly stopped, "By the way, miss, there is something I forgot to ask. Just now the eldest miss sent a maid to ask how your clothes are doing. You were not there at the time, so I said I will wait for you to come back." I'll go over and tell her again. The young lady seems to be very concerned about the clothes this time, and she made a special trip to come here last time."

"Yes." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and said, I don't know if the eldest sister came here last time to see the clothes and deliver medicine, or to deliver medicine and look at the clothes?But a girl can only get married once in a lifetime, and it's only natural for her to take care of her, but I can't trouble the elder sister to come here again, "Jinxiu, help me to tell the elder sister that I will leave the edge of the clothes the day after tomorrow. Once the corners are changed, send it to her and let her have a look at it first."

Jinxiu nodded, and then went out, probably taking the letter to Qiao Yuanxiu.

After Jinxiu left, Qiao Jiuxiu walked to the bed and lay down, she wondered if she should have dragged Liu Er out just now?If the master behind her knows that she has been discovered, it will inevitably teach Liu Er a lesson, she is still a poor maid after all.

But she shook her head slightly, a poor person must have something to hate, she should be ruthless when she should be ruthless, otherwise sooner or later, she will be the one who suffers.My wife is not very satisfied with herself about the incident last time. At this critical time, I can no longer let others hide in the dark and stab me.

When I think about it this way, my heart also feels at ease.Lying on the bed, he fell asleep after a while.
