The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 182

Qiao Jiuxiu came back from the outside and just entered the room when she saw Hong Xiu hiding something. She felt a little strange, so she asked Hong Xiu what it was. Hong Xiu hesitated for a long time before shaking her head and explained, "Miss, this It is the tomb I prepared for Qinglian, and I want to take it back with me when I go home."

Hongxiu shook her head and sighed as she spoke, "Miss, I know you all don't like Qinglian and have been slandered by her, but after all, I have been good sisters with her for so many years. I don't care if Qinglian is really friendly with me or not, I really regard her as a good sister, she left like this, I naturally feel uncomfortable in my heart. Of course I also know that this is all her own fault." Shaking her head slightly , and shed a few more tears.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and lightly patted Hong Xiu on the shoulder. Hong Xiu is a kind girl, even if you are unkind to her, she will not be unjust to you.After Qinglian turned her face, she tried to persuade Qinglian more than once, hoping that she could turn around, but it didn't work.Although she knew that Qinglian was an enemy, she also wanted to go back to the good old days when they were sisters with her.Such a kind girl is really rare.Qiao Jiuxiu said softly, "Hongxiu, Qinglian has already left, and our hatred for her has also disappeared. If you want to worship, you can count me in. But the wife has already said that no one is allowed to worship Qinglian. Lian, I advise you to keep a low profile and don't bring yourself in."

Hongxiu nodded and rubbed her reddish eyes, knowing that what Miss said was for her own good. "Miss, I want to go to the kitchen later and ask the chef to cook some of Qinglian's favorite dishes and deliver them to her, okay? Let's do it for her." Hongxiu said while watching Qiao Jiuxiu's expression, she knew what she wanted How much is a bit too much.Miss and Qinglian are enemies, if she asks her to worship an enemy and prepare food for him, she will definitely mind.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, saying that it was hypocritical not to hate Qinglian, and when his name was mentioned, she always felt very blocked in her heart, she didn't know if it was because her death was closely related to her, or because she was still thinking about it before Qinglian confronted her.Maybe she is not as indifferent as she imagined, and she can worship Qinglian with a normal heart.However, she couldn't go against Hongxiu's will, "Hongxiu, you can decide this matter. Just send the food to the side hall later. I think you must have something to say to Qinglian alone."

Hongxiu nodded, she is now a first-class maid in Qiao's mansion, so she has her own room, hides in her own hut, worships Qinglian alone, and tells her what is in her heart, this is indeed her original intention , so thanked Qiao Jiuxiu for her success, got up and went to the kitchen.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a soft breath, she still remembered Qinglian's appearance when she left, those eyes were wide open, as if there were too many unwillingness, when those eyes looked at her, they were obviously full of all kinds of things. All kinds of hate.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, and sat down on the side of the bed, "Qinglian, don't hate me, who made you our enemy."

She clearly knew that if she didn't act first and asked Chen Chu to help get rid of Qinglian, one day she would be played to death by Qinglian, and maybe her life would be worse than death, and Ye Duanyi and Ye Duanyi would also be affected. Jinxiu Hongxiu, she didn't want to hurt the people around her, so she made up her mind and became an executioner.Although there is a lot of helplessness, if time passes again, she may still make such a choice.Qinglian's death will make her very sad, but it will not make her regret it.

When he was thinking wildly like this, Hongxiu had already returned.Holding the lunch box in her hand, which should contain Qinglian's favorite food, she nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu, then walked straight to the inner room, and gently closed the door.Qiao Jiuxiu walked to the door and paused slightly, but she still didn't knock on the door, that's all, let's go in after Hongxiu finished speaking, she also has something to say to Qinglian, even if she has heard all these words Not anymore.

Hongxiu opened the lunch box, which is a very simple three dishes and one soup, braised lion head, fish-flavored shredded pork, dry-stirred potato shreds and assorted soup, all of which are very home-cooked dishes.While laying out the dishes, she sighed, "Qinglian, you obviously don't like eating those abalone wings, why do you have to climb up step by step? Don't you know that the higher you climb, the more likely you are to fall? And standing on a high place and holding something in your hand is not what you really want."

After setting up the table and chopsticks, Hongxiu went to the window and opened the window slightly, "I still remember the first year we entered Qiao's house, we were only 14 years old, you said your dream was to make money, and then buy yourself a bunch of candied haws. You said, if a bunch of candied haws can satisfy you, how did you get to where you are today?"

Hongxiu shook her head, she remembered that she and Qinglian entered Qiao's mansion together, and they were good playmates before, and they would share any good things with each other, and entered Qiao's mansion, because Qinglian was half a year older than herself, and He is also smarter in doing things, so he often helps her out. It can be said that it is because of her company that Hongxiu has been spared a few boards.Later, they were assigned to the eldest lady's side to help the eldest lady with her internal and external affairs.At that time, Qinglian and Ruyi got very close. Ruyi also seemed to like Qinglian very much, and always talked to her a lot alone. Thinking about it, the change of Qinglian's temperament was somewhat influenced by Ruyi.

Or maybe, she has her own unstable factors, and she is not willing to just be a servant for the rest of her life.

On the day Ruyi died, Qinglian pulled the red sleeves and said a lot of words, and drank a lot of wine. Qiao's house did not allow the maids to drink, so this was the first time Qinglian got drunk. She smiled and said, "Ruyi The elder sister is finished. The biggest failure in her life is to expose this matter directly, so that the wife has no way to step down, so I can only get rid of her. If it were me, I would tell my wife first, if the wife wants me to give birth I don't want me to kill the child and leave Qiao's mansion after giving birth to the child. It is the best policy to retreat in this way."

At that time, Hongxiu didn't understand Qinglian's words at all. It wasn't until she took advantage of the child in her womb to become the second young lady of Qiao's mansion that she realized that the drunken words she said were actually meant for herself. Learn your lessons and improve your own plans.At that time, she felt that Qinglian was no longer the good sister she knew before.It's just that there are still fantasies in my heart, and I guess maybe it's just that I think too much.But when Qinglian completely turned her face, she finally understood in despair that they could only be enemies.

They said a lot of things again, telling the things about them when they were sisters, one by one, one by one.Qiao Jiuxiu stood by the door. She didn't mean to spy on Hongxiu's secrets, but hearing those words made people feel uncomfortable. When you treat someone sincerely, who knows how she thinks about you in her heart? Sincerely, the heart is separated from the belly, this may be the greatest sorrow when getting along with others.Hongxiu cried and said that Qinglian had changed a lot along the way, and no one knew her anymore.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she might have changed too.Or maybe, everyone has changed, no matter whether you deny it or admit it, there is no way to go back to the plainest and simplest past.It's like, when we were children, a bunch of candied haws could satisfy us and make us happy, but when we grow up, happiness is not as simple as a bunch of candied haws.It's the jewelry we can't afford, the man we can't love, the happiness we can't have... That's why we become more and more unhappy and become a different person.

In the end, he sighed, knocked on the door lightly, and walked in.

Hongxiu gave Qiao Jiuxiu a strange look, not knowing what the lady was going to do when she came in at this time, but she got up to greet her anyway.Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Hongxiu, feeling very blocked in her heart, "Hongxiu, I just have something to say, I want to talk to Qinglian. If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"It's okay, miss, you can tell." Hongxiu gently closed the door and backed out.Although the lady didn't say it clearly just now, she should only want to say those words to Qingliang alone.

"Qinglian, in fact, I have always regarded you as a good sister." Qiao Jiuxiu let out a breath and adjusted her emotions, "Before you turned your face. Even when we were already enemies, I still I hope you can turn around. I think we are still good sisters, and I am still waiting for you. That's why when you ask me for peace, I will simply agree. Even if you have something about you, I didn't tell my wife. I know. Just thinking, maybe, we can go back to the beginning."

"But, I finally see clearly. There is no going back." Qiao Jiuxiu paused when she said this, "I know, you will think that I am hypocritical, and I am the one who made you die, but I am saying these things here It's disgusting, but all of this is my original intention. It's like, although I won the battle between you and me, in fact, I am not happy in my heart. "

She shook her head slightly, she didn't want to be an enemy with anyone.But she also has people she wants to protect. In order to keep them from being harmed, she can only make herself ruthless.This may be the price that must be paid for growth.

There was no way she could.

Slowly closing her eyes, she remembered what Qiao Qixiu said to herself before, she said that Qinglian was not killed by Qiao Jiuxiu, but died of her own greed.Once a person has greed, he will pursue those things that are not originally in his mind. Once he comes and goes, he will easily lose himself and embark on a dangerous road.

Perhaps we all understand this truth, but how to overcome our own greed is a very profound knowledge.
