The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 178

The wife took the account book that Qiao Jiuxiu handed over, carefully flipped through two pages, and then threw the account book aside. Although this action seemed very casual, both Qiao Jiuxiu and Qinglian looked at the wife very nervously, as if they were waiting The wife's following is average.Sure enough, the wife frowned very tightly, but said in a calm tone, "The account book is well done, and there are seven or eight points that seem to be the case."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, she understood what his wife said.The wife said that although the account book was done well, she was willing to believe that the account book was fake.She hasn't investigated the authenticity of the account book yet, so she can only follow the wife's words and say, "Madam is right, this thing is [-]% true and [-]% false, so I thought about suppressing this matter first." Press, when I have a clue, I will report this matter to you."

"Will you tell me?" The wife raised the account book in her hand, "Forget it, I think there is Qinglian's name on it, Qinglian, have you ever done this?"

Qinglian's face turned pale, but she maintained her final composure, and quickly knelt down, "Madam Mingjian, I really have never done this, you have to believe me. Qinglian is just a maid who fills in the house, and she can't even talk in Qiao's mansion." I don’t even have any status, so how can I enrich my own pockets by increasing income and reducing expenditure? You must know that this matter has always been in charge of by the young mistress, even if I want to intervene, I’m afraid I can’t do it.”

Qinglian's words pushed everything onto Ye Duanyi.The wife nodded, and flipped through the ledger again. The ledger was very authentic, but there were some problems, such as how did this thing fall into Qiao Jiuxiu's hands?This account book is so detailed that it is not difficult to see that it was made by a thoughtful person. Since the thought is meticulous, how could this account book fall into the hands of others?
This is indeed a very thought-provoking question.The more the wife thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was a bit strange. "Hey, there is Qiaoyu's name on it?" The wife suddenly asked in doubt, and Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. This is the most suspicious part of this account book. Get a serious look, it's true.Qinglian also looked at his wife in surprise, "How is it possible, how could Qiaoyu have something to do with this matter?"

The wife chuckled and put the account book aside, "Jiu girl, let me ask you, if this account book is real, what would you do with it?" Although the expression on the wife's face was very calm when she said this, Qiao Jiuxiu knew If she said a word wrong, then what awaits her is bound to be a punishment.So I could only bite my lip lightly, and replied carefully, "I will hand over this account book to you, and then I will let you decide everything, and as long as it is your decision, I will unconditionally support it."

Hearing what Qiao Jiuxiu said, a faint smile appeared on the wife's face, "Then, if the account books are fake, what are you going to do?"

Qiao Jiuxiu was silent in her heart. This question was much more difficult than the previous one. She glanced at her wife with some worry. Although she had spent a lot of time with her, she still had no way to fully figure out her intentions. I could only ask cautiously, "I haven't thought about this matter yet, please teach me, my wife, and tell me how to deal with it."

With such a simple sentence, she pushed the matter to his wife.The wife shook her head, she didn't want to tell Qiao Jiuxiu the answer, she wanted to know what she thought, "Jiu girl, just tell me, let me know what you think."

"I..." Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, "Since the account book is fake, I will destroy it. I can't make everyone panic in Qiao's house. But I will destroy it in front of everyone, so It won't make everyone feel scruples." Qiao Jiuxiu looked at his wife's face while talking, wondering if this answer would satisfy her.But Mrs. Jian nodded slightly, "This is a good way. In my opinion, this account book is fake. You can find a time to destroy this thing later."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and was just about to reach out to take the account books, but saw his wife winking at Qinglian who was beside her. "Qinglian, you go down first, I have something to talk to Jiuyatou alone."

Qinglian nodded, and retreated.She knew that her wife should have something to say privately, so she didn't bother.

As soon as Qinglian left, the wife changed her appearance and looked at Qiao Jiuxiu very seriously, "Jiu girl, Qinglian was here just now, and there are some things that I cannot tell you, but now that Qinglian has left, then we will Open the skylight and speak clearly, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable if some things are blocked in my heart."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded lightly, knowing that it was not just about the account books that his wife asked her to come here. Although she didn't know where she offended her again, but seeing her appearance, she should still be angry. She will talk later Be careful not to irritate your wife again.Thinking of this, he quickly smiled, "Madam, if you have anything to say, just tell me, we are a family, so there is no need to hide it."

The wife nodded, since Qiao Jiuxiu had already reached this point, she naturally wanted to speak clearly with her. "Jiu girl, let me ask you something, who is in charge of the Qiao Mansion now?"

Qiao Jiuxiu gave his wife a strange look, this question is a bit redundant, everyone in Qiao's mansion doesn't know, the wife covers the sky with one hand, so naturally she is the one who decides.But my wife naturally has her own purpose in asking this question, so I can only follow my wife's words, "Return to Madam, of course you have the final say on this Qiao Mansion, if you have no way to make decisions in Qiao Mansion, then I don’t think anyone can call the shots.”

The wife nodded, and she was quite satisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu's answer, but the expression on her face was still serious, "I like your answer, but do you really think so? Or are you just trying to make me, an old man, happy?" That's all?"

"Madam, look at what you're talking about. How could you be an old man? Besides, no matter how courageous I am, I won't dare to lie to you." Qiao Jiuxiu laughed along with her, thinking that she had always been cautious, He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, why did his wife suddenly have a prejudice against him?Could it be that someone is gossiping in front of his wife?I don't know why she naturally thought of Qinglian, but now that she has Qinglian's handle, she shouldn't be so confident.Could that be Qiao Liuxiu?You have to know that you, the sixth sister, never know how to stop.

"Really?" The wife took a shallow sip of tea, "I heard that you have been getting close to the eldest young mistress recently. She told you to go east, and you went east without even frowning. But you know, this It's not up to her to decide on the Qiao Mansion."

Only then did Qiao Jiuxiu understand what his wife said. The wife was blaming Ye Duanyi for taking her power, which made her status in Qiao's mansion worse than before, so she felt uncomfortable, but because Ye Duanyi belonged to General Ye Daughter, she is not easy to gossip, so she turned her eyes to herself, shaking the mountain to shake the tiger, and killing the chicken for the monkey to see.Knowing that his wife had such intentions, Qiao Jiuxiu could only sigh, "Ma'am, what you said is true. I will write it down. I will tell Sister Duanyi to come over to say hello to you from time to time. If you have any questions that you don't understand, I will also ask you for advice."

She has already talked about this point, presumably the wife should also understand what she means.Sure enough, my wife nodded slightly, "Jiu girl said that, which makes me very happy. Let's leave this account book as it is. In the future, you'd better come and discuss with me about anything. I have finally seen some things in the world. I want to The perspective of the problem is also much broader than yours, and there is always nothing wrong with listening to the opinions of the elderly."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, exchanged a few more words with his wife, and was about to leave, but he didn't expect his wife to suddenly change her face, "Jiu girl, I need to remind you one more thing, don't think that Ye Duanyi is covering you, you just want to leave." You can run rampant in Qiao's mansion, you must know that I am the one who makes you live and you die, and I hope you can remember this."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, unlike previous hints, what the wife said just now was a very clear warning, telling Qiao Jiuxiu that she is the real master of this family.She sighed softly and said that she made a note of it.The wife saw that Qiao Jiuxiu was very sensible, so she didn't say anything, but told her to leave.Qiao Jiuxiu hurriedly got up and backed out. Although she had seen a lot of the world, she was still covered in cold sweat and looked a bit embarrassed.

When she walked to the courtyard, she found that Qinglian was still standing there, as if she was waiting for her specially.She glanced at Qinglian suspiciously, she probably didn't have anything to say to her.Although Qinglian said before that she would never come to trouble her in the future, Qiao Jiuxiu was still a little wary of her.It was as if after being bitten by a snake, he became wary of other snakes.

What's more, she knows how sharp Qinglian's fangs are.

"Miss Nine, what did my wife say to you just now?" Qinglian approached, and asked a seemingly insignificant question in a nonchalant tone.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip lightly, "This is my business, I don't want anyone to know."

Qinglian shook her head and smiled softly, "Okay, if you don't tell me, I can't do anything to you. But, I want to tell you one thing, the day of our truce is coming to an end."

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qinglian suspiciously, she didn't understand what she meant just now.

"I mean, from today onwards, we are enemies again." Qinglian glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu lazily, and said without any fear.
