The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 176

Ye Duanyi held a ledger in her hand, on which were written the names of some people, and various data were marked on the back of the names. When she was visiting the garden today, she found this roster behind the rockery. She He felt that this matter was not important, and it was a bit strange, so he called Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu to come over together to discuss specific solutions in his courtyard.

"Are you sure you found this ledger in the back garden?" Qiao Qixiu felt a little strange looking at the ledger. This ledger recorded that several old mothers of Qiao's mansion filled their pockets and made a lot of money by taking advantage of the time to increase income and reduce expenditure. Black money, the specific amount is recorded in this ledger, even the amount is clear, it seems that they usually act together, and this ledger is the basis for them to divide the spoils.

Qiao Qixiu frowned, logically speaking, this should be a very important thing, how could it not be placed in a safe place?If it is placed in the rockery in the garden, people may find it one day, and when the wife blames it, these people may not be able to eat it all. You must know that my wife has always hated this kind of people who practice favoritism and cheating.

"Sister Duanyi, who were you with at the time, and did anyone else discover this account book?" Qiao Jiuxiu thought that this matter might not be that simple, so she wanted to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.Ye Duanyi nodded slightly, recalling the situation at that time.

"That day I went to my wife's place to say hello, and then Qinglian happened to be there, and we came back together. Passing by the garden, she saw a bunch of crabapple flowers, so she lowered her head to visit. I felt bored, so I looked around Looked around, and then found the ledger."

"Qinglian?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned. You must know that Qinglian has restrained a lot in this period of time, which made her somewhat careless, but she was somewhat worried that Qinglian would make a comeback one day.Qiao Qixiu also frowned. It was already a very strange thing to discover the account book. If Qinglian was still on the scene, wouldn't this matter be extremely strange?But he changed his mind again, there were so many loopholes in this matter, if it was Qinglian's deliberate arrangement, it would be too careless, which is somewhat different from Qinglian's usual cautious temperament.Therefore, this matter was not deliberately arranged by Qinglian, but happened suddenly.

She said her thoughts, and Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi also expressed their approval. If this is really a trap set by Qinglian, she has no reason to let herself appear at the scene of the crime.Now that Qinglian's actions have been ruled out, the three women are obviously relieved. As long as this matter has nothing to do with Qinglian, then things will be much easier.

Although Qinglian no longer has the strength to compete with them, in the hearts of everyone, they are still somewhat afraid of Qinglian, probably because they have suffered a lot from Qinglian in the past, which made them somewhat bitten by snakes. , I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a soft breath, and glanced at Ye Duanyi, "Sister Duanyi, what should we do now, do we need to hand over this account book to my wife?"

Ye Duanyi nodded. She always went straight and couldn't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in her eyes, so since they did something wrong, they naturally had to let their wife know.Otherwise, she would feel very uncomfortable if these people were allowed to run free.Qiao Jiuxiu agreed to express her thoughts, but Qiao Qixiu frowned even deeper.

"Seventh sister, don't you think this method is not good?" Qiao Jiuxiu asked tentatively. She knew that Qiao Qixiu had always had her own ideas, and she thought farther than them. If they help, maybe they have already been played by Qinglian to the point of not knowing what to do.So they still respect Qiao Qixiu's views.

Qiao Qixiu let out a slight breath, "I just don't think we should take action so quickly. This matter is still a bit strange. First of all, we need to understand where this account book came from, and then the things recorded on it are indeed true. It's still nothing, if I act rashly, I'm afraid I will cause some trouble."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she was a little thoughtless, it seems that the most urgent task now is to confirm whether the account book is true or not, and if she really wants to tell her wife, she needs to have other evidence, after all, a bill, but It can't explain so many problems, but it's very easy to startle the snake.

"Besides," Qiao Qixiu sighed, "although the people recorded in this ledger are just old women, they are very prestigious in the Qiao Mansion. The wives of these people usually attach great importance to them. If it is not necessary, I will not I hope to turn against them and cause mutual displeasure, in this way, it will be difficult for us to behave in the Qiao Mansion in the future."

Qiao Qixiu knew that saying this would disappoint Ye Duanyi. She is a very typical idealist who often thinks things are too perfect and too simple.But she didn't realize that the real direction of things was often much more complicated than she imagined.There are a total of 56 people's names in this account book, the wife can't drive them all out of Qiao's residence at once, then those who stay will definitely regard them as thorns in the side and thorns in the flesh.It is not a wise choice to make enemies for yourself for this matter, so Qiao Qixiu does not agree with Ye Duanyi's proposal.

Qiao Mansion is a pool of water, far deeper than they imagined.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Although she felt a little aggrieved, what Qiao Qixiu said was correct.Ye Duanyi frowned, "Then what should we do now? We can't pretend that this didn't happen."

Qiao Qixiu frowned, knowing that Ye Duanyi would feel very uncomfortable if she didn't do anything, so she sighed softly, "It's not like doing nothing, there is one more thing we can do."

"Huh?" Both Ye Duanyi and Qiao Jiuxiu looked at her intently, as if she was the backbone of this small group.

Qiao Qixiu nodded and continued, "We can warn those old women to restrain themselves a little bit. If they stop, that would be the best, but if they don't restrain themselves, then only the wife can know about it."

Although Qiao Qixiu said so, she still hoped that her wife would not know about it. If this matter can be kept private, it is better to keep it private. It will only make people on both sides unhappy.Although Ye Duanyi was a little reluctant, she could only agree with Qiao Qixiu's idea, and there was no other way.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at the ledger, and found that there was Qiaoyu's name in it.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, how could Qiaoyu be involved in this matter, since Qiaoyu has always been the most upright, how could she do such a thing.Thinking that he still has some friendship with Qiaoyu, let's start with her, maybe it won't be too difficult.

Qiao Jiuxiu went to Qiaoyu's yard, she was preparing dinner as usual, it was still a very homely Sichuan dish.Because she had promised Qiao Jiuxiu that she would help her, Qiaoyu didn't show too much surprise at Qiao Jiuxiu's appearance in this place.After asking Qiao Jiuxiu to sit down, she went straight to the point and asked her what she wanted from him.

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but got straight to the point and got into the point. "Qiaoyu, I have something I want you to see, and then I'll hear what you think."

Qiaoyu nodded, seeing Qiao Jiuxiu take out an account book from his arms, he took the account book and nodded, as if he didn't know what was written in the account book, but as the account book turned back page by page, her face His expression became ugly, he stopped his hand on the place where his name was written, and looked up at Qiao Jiuxiu.

"Miss Jiu, what do you mean by that?" Qiaoyu asked suspiciously.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a soft breath, "Aunt Qiaoyu, I have always respected you as a person, but I didn't know that you would do such a thing secretly, but since you have already done it, why don't you admit it?"

"I haven't done it." Qiaoyu shook her head lightly. She has been in Qiao's Mansion for so many years, and she knows that the reason why she can stay in Qiao's Mansion safely is because she has an upright heart, and no one can control her own. handle, so it is naturally impossible for her to do such a thing.

However, this account book is really well done. If the wife is to know, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the wife. She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that the wife will think too much. There is no way to survive in the Qiao Mansion.

"You haven't done it?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, looking at Qiaoyu in disbelief, Qiaoyu nodded, she naturally never did this.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. She still believed in Qiaoyu. Since she said she hadn't done it, she hadn't done it. It seems that she needs to check carefully to see if the account book is true or not.

"That's good. Since you said you didn't do this, then I believe you didn't do it." Qiao Jiuxiu said it very simply, but she didn't notice the uneasiness in Qiaoyu's eyes.Qiaoyu thanked Qiao Jiuxiu for her trust, but felt more and more uneasy, and finally bit her lips slightly, "Since Miss Jiu has nothing to do, then Qiaoyu will not accompany her, I have some things to deal with later. "

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, then got up and left.Qiaoyu, however, sighed slightly. She was so confused about this matter, and thought that she should find someone to discuss it with. She had an old friend in Qiao’s mansion who she trusted, who was in charge of the registration of flowers and plants. Forsythia, thinking this way, Qiao Jiuxiu Going out on the front foot, she went to Forsythia's place on the back foot.

Forsythia was repairing the excess branches and leaves of a potted plant. Seeing Qiaoyu approaching, she immediately stood up to greet her, "Hey, why did you come to my place and sit around?" Seeing that Qiaoyu had a strange expression, Forsythia He continued to ask, "Is there something wrong?"
