The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 160 It's ridiculous to be self-defeating

"Aunt Qiaoyu, what are you thinking?" Seeing Qiaoyu's pensive look, Qiao Jiuxiu asked with some unease in her heart.She knows that fame is very important to a woman.Although there is nothing wrong with Qiaoyu itself, there are all kinds of rumors out there, saying that she really made a wrong payment, that she is blind, that she still misses it until now, in short, they are all ugly words. Even an outsider thinks it's too much for her, let alone Qiaoyu is the one involved?

"I was thinking, you are really a good master." Qiaoyu shook her head slightly, the expression on her face was so deep that Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't understand it.When she was thinking about it, she heard Qiaoyu continue to ask, "Then Miss Jiu, I would like to ask you, how are you going to solve this problem?"

"Frankly speaking, I haven't thought of a suitable solution yet." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, "But don't worry, if someone dares to talk about this matter again, I will definitely explain it to them. Definitely not Let your reputation suffer another little bit."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled a little embarrassedly, this is the only way she can come up with so far, but she just doesn't know if this way will have a good effect, she is afraid that she has worn out her lips , But those people are still unwilling to believe it.

"Miss Jiu, you don't need to explain to me." Qiaoyu shook her head, this method is not good.

Qiao Jiuxiu thought that Qiaoyu was still blaming herself for not wanting her to help, so she continued, "How is this possible? Since I have promised you, I must do it. Don't worry, I will definitely do this. If you solve it beautifully, will you give me a chance?"

"Miss Nine, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Qiaoyu signaled Qiao Jiuxiu to sit down and calm down a little before speaking. "Miss Nine, what I mean is that rumors only stop at wise people. If you don't explain some things, people will gradually feel that they are not interested, and then they will stop talking about them. On the contrary, if you keep explaining, then those who maliciously slander you People will be more interested. There are many things happening in the Qiao Mansion every day, and I believe they will turn their attention to other places in a short time."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded in embarrassment, she never thought that Qiaoyu could think about things like this, since she can think about things so openly, she doesn't have to worry.But I still feel a little guilty in my heart, "Aunt Qiaoyu, I'm really sorry this time, I have caused you trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble." Qiaoyu shook her head slightly, "Actually, if you don't come to me, I still want to go to you."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiaoyu suspiciously, what could she do with her?Before Qiao Jiuxiu could open her mouth, Qiaoyu continued, "Maybe you were right that day. Some things have passed for so long, and it's time to let go. If some habits have bound your heart, it's time to change it." gone."

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiaoyu with some puzzlement, her expression somewhat out of the ordinary.

"After you left, I went to the kitchen and ordered a Cantonese dish, which was a dessert. I found that I'm used to eating Sichuan food, and it's actually a good choice to change the taste." Qiaoyu smiled lightly. "Miss Jiu, if I say that I want to be your ally now, will you object?"

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes widened, she looked at Qiaoyu in disbelief, what was she talking about, why couldn't she understand a word?When she came here this time, she had already prepared for the worst, thinking that Tong Jinxiu would be an enemy in the future, but she never expected that she would become her ally. The world was changing so fast that she was completely caught off guard.

"Are you unwilling?" Qiaoyu saw Qiao Jiuxiu's courtship expression, so she quickly asked, Miss Jiu has always been deliberate, so it's unlikely that something that was very certain a few days ago has changed her mind today.Qiao Jiuxiu finally recovered from the shock, "No, I'm naturally very happy that you can be my ally. I just want to know the reason. All this must have happened suddenly."

"Does Miss Jiu think this is sudden?" Qiaoyu shook her head slightly, "After Miss Jiu came to see me that day, Qinglian also came to see me. I knew that I had to choose one of you. If anyone If I don’t help, then one day I will be in trouble, and no one will come to help me. So I have to think about who I should help.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, fortunately she came early today, Qinglian will probably come later, and Qiaoyu might change her excuse by then, so she won't be her ally.Then I heard Qiaoyu continue to say, "I originally wanted to follow Qinglian, because she has means, and I think she has a way to laugh at the end."

Ming people don't speak dark words, so in front of Qiao Jiuxiu, she naturally expressed all the thoughts in her heart very simply and straightforwardly.The doubts on Qiao Jiuxiu's face deepened, "But you just said that you are willing to be an ally with me. Does that mean that you and Qinglian will be enemies? I really want to know why you chose me."

"I chose you, so Qinglian and Qinglian are naturally enemies. Don't worry, I won't be so greedy, and I won't try to please you as well as Qinglian." Qiaoyu smiled softly, "Although I am very I am liked by my wife, but I am still a maid after all, so it is very important to have a good master, and you will not abandon the car at a critical moment to keep you handsome, which makes me very moved, and this is the fundamental reason why I chose you in the end."

"It's that simple?" Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, but seeing Qiaoyu's serious expression, she could only nod her head slightly, maybe it was really that simple, but she thought it was a little complicated.She smiled a little embarrassedly at Qiaoyu, "Since you have already talked about this, I hope we can be good allies in the future, treat each other with sincerity, and share happiness together."

"Blessings to share." Qiao Yu also nodded decisively, Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, the two chatted briefly, Qiao Jiuxiu got up and left, Qiaoyu sent her to the door, but never thought that she happened to meet someone who came to visit Qinglian.Qinglian gave Qiao Jiuxiu a strange look, well, this woman was quick enough, she turned out to be late.But it doesn't matter if you are late, Qiaoyu should hate Qiao Jiuxiu to death now.

"Second Young Mistress, you can go back." Qiaoyu slightly blessed Qinglian, "I'm really sorry, I just decided to follow Miss Jiu from now on."

Qinglian was startled by these words, she looked at Qiaoyu in disbelief, then at Qiao Jiuxiu, how could it be possible, how did she persuade Qiaoyu.

"Second young lady, there are some things that no one should know about, unless you do nothing about it yourself." Qiaoyu left this sentence to Qinglian, and then returned to her courtyard, closing the door.

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything." Although Qiao Jiuxiu didn't want to see Qinglian, what she just said was true, she really didn't say anything, nothing If she did, Qiaoyu would willingly become her ally, all of this is too unbelievable.

Qinglian snorted coldly, she didn't believe this sentence, although Qiao Jiuxiu won this time, but next time, it won't be so easy.

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't care how unhappy Qinglian felt, anyway, she was very happy today, thinking that when she went back to share the good news with Jinxiu Hongxiu, they would be very happy too.

When Qiao Jiuxiu went back, she told Ye Duanyi, Qiao Qixiu and others that Qiaoyu had become an ally.He even told Hongxiu that if she hadn't made a mistake, maybe Qiaoyu would have become Qinglian's man by now.Hongxiu smiled embarrassedly, and said that she was lucky that she didn't get into trouble, so naturally she didn't dare to take credit for it.With Qiaoyu's help, Qiao Jiuxiu believed that she would be able to contend against Qinglian.But if she didn't have the intention of harming others again, she would naturally not marry someone who provoked her.

While a few people were gossiping, Ruyi walked in and said that his wife was going to hold a dinner tonight and let everyone go.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, because the date of the dinner party was basically fixed, there was a family dinner on the first day of each month and in the middle of each month, and it was clearly not the time yet.Could it be that the wife has something to announce, so she took the opportunity of the dinner party?
"Ruyi, my wife stepped aside from the dinner party, what's the matter?" Qiao Jiuxiu asked with a frown.But Jian Ruyi nodded, "Miss Nine, I will tell you about this matter if you don't ask, I just don't know if this is good news or bad news."

Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly. Ruyi was always well-informed. Although the focus of this dinner was definitely not her, if she could predict what would happen in advance, it would be good for her and not bad.But on the surface, he didn't show much interest, just nodded lazily, "Ruyi, tell me, as for whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I'll judge for myself."

"Lin Zhiyi, the eldest son of Lord Runan's mansion, has a marriage contract with Miss Six. I believe Miss Nine knows about this. Master Zhiyi originally had a first wife, but died of a serious illness the day before yesterday, so Lord Runan decided to let Miss Six She joined the Duke's Mansion as the main wife. But Miss Six is ​​just the concubine of the Qiao Mansion, and it's not right for her to be a family member, so the wife wanted to accept Miss Six as a daughter-in-law today, and then announced to the public that Miss Six and the Eldest Miss were both her child."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, as she said, it was both good news and bad news. Qiao Jiuxiu was not jealous of Qiao Liuxiu's good luck. It is the same for her, she will not be happy.She was just worried about what Qiao Liuxiu would do in the future. Was she relying on his wife to promote her as a prostitute and suppress herself even more crazily?Or was he thinking that he didn't have much time in Qiao Mansion, so he just shook hands and made peace?

Anyway, it's better to be careful.

Because it was almost time for dinner, Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu took Ye Duanyi with them, and the three of them went to the main hall together.Seeing that the other sisters had already come here in twos and threes, the expressions on their faces were somewhat subtle and uncomfortable, especially Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu, they lowered their heads and seemed to be very depressed.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, so she went over to say hello to them.
