The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 184

The matter of Qinglian has been settled, and the Qiao Mansion has returned to its previous appearance. In the peaceful environment, everyone is secretly harboring evil intentions.When Qinglian was alive, everyone in the Qiao Mansion respected her very much, and thought that she was very smart and resourceful as a maid who was able to step up to the young mistress of Qiao Mansion step by step, so she dared not make her an enemy.But with Qinglian's departure, everyone soon forgot that there was such a number one person in the Qiao Mansion, and even the after-dinner conversation quickly turned into other things.

There are too many scumbags in Qiao's mansion. When you gain power, surround you to make things better, but once you lose power, those people will stay away completely, and even bump into each other face to face without saying hello.This is how the Qiao Mansion survives. When they are in power, they welcome them, but when they lose power, they are ignored and cast aside like rats crossing the street.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, but it seems that many people have gotten closer to her recently.

Many of them are the mothers around their wives. They used to dislike me very much, but now they seem to be a family again. Some even come to visit me every day, and they will bring all kinds of The dim sum on her face was also full of smiles, which made her puzzled.Qiao Qixiu once commented on this, they are indeed the most dedicated fools in the world, they will change their direction whenever there is trouble.

Qiao Jiuxiu was noncommittal, although the feeling of being surrounded by stars was good, but she also felt that it was very dangerous. These people would get close to her because of her power, and they might stab her in the back when she lost power. She can't stay with her, it's too risky.

It’s already June, and midsummer feels getting closer and closer. Qiao Jiuxiu thought of the plum wine she brewed under the tree last year, and figured it’s time to take it out. It happened that at night, she could taste it with Sister Duanyi and Sister Seven. Although the wife doesn't like the ladies in the house to drink, she just can't stand the sweetness of the plum wine. Just thinking about it makes her salivate. Anyway, the wife is very busy now, so she probably can't take care of herself, let alone her I've done this before, and it's never been discovered, so don't worry too much.

Walking to the tree where the wine was buried at that time, seeing that there was no one around, she used a shovel to scrape the soil away. Sure enough, she saw a small ceramic jar, the seal on it had not been removed, and she held it carefully. Lift it up, then gently uncover the lid, and immediately smell a burst of refreshing fragrance.Thinking that sister Duanyi also likes to drink, I really don't know if such a small can is enough for the little girls to drink. If Jinxiu and Hongxiu want to join in the fun, then it is clearly not enough.

"Miss Nine, what are you doing?" Hearing this voice, Qiao Jiuxiu was startled, and almost dropped the pot in her hand on the ground. Seeing that it was Aunt Liu, she let out a slight breath, "Master, you Why are you here?"

Sixth Aunt is Qiao Jiuxiu's biological mother. According to the rules of the Qiao House, she should be called Auntie, but Qiao Jiuxiu thinks that there is no one here, so it's better to call her Mother, after all, she is her own mother, and she doesn't want to be unfamiliar with the address.The sixth aunt's body trembled slightly, she hadn't heard Qiao Jiuxiu address herself like this for a long time, so she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Miss Nine hasn't forgotten me, but it's better to call me auntie, I don't want to Let the wife worry too much."

She thought of herself when she was young, because she was ignorant, relying on her beauty, she didn't pay attention to her wife, that's why she fell into the situation she is today.My wife has always disliked her, and if she has prejudice against Qiao Jiuxiu because of her, it would be too unworthy, so for everyone's benefit, she still hopes that she can call her aunt, although it seems strange, but she can Keep each other safe.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, knowing that what she said made sense. Although this place is very secluded, it would be a bad idea if someone got caught. "Yes, I understand. Please don't worry, Sixth Auntie, I will be reasonable."

Sixth Yiniang nodded, her daughter is so smart, and she has suffered a lot because of her smartness.Qinglian had been targeting her before, she wanted to help but didn't know how to do it, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but finally God opened her eyes and made Qinglian commit suicide in fear of crime, otherwise she was really worried that Qiao Jiuxiu would not be Qinglian's opponent , will suffer a lot in this matter.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu holding a delicate small ceramic jar, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Her nose has always been sensitive, and she clearly smelled the faint aroma of wine.Could it be that there is actually wine in it?

Although Qiao's Mansion did not expressly prohibit drinking alcohol, the wife does not like drinking alcohol. This is something that everyone knows. Even if you really want to drink, you have to wait for a big festival or a big happy event before you can have a drink or two.Today is not a big day, she really doesn't know why Qiao Jiuxiu is holding a can of wine? "This is?"

"This is a small jar for decoration." Qiao Jiuxiu knew that if she told Aunt Liu that it contained plum wine, she would probably reprimand herself again, after all, the wife doesn't like young ladies drinking.As she said that, she prepared to run away. Last year, she only brewed such a small can of wine. If it was confiscated, she would not know what to use to sacrifice the glutton in her stomach.

"Miss Nine, I have lived for nearly 40 years. I have walked more bridges than you have traveled, and eaten more salt than you have eaten. If you want to lie to me, it would be a bit too much." It’s too tender.” Six Auntie sighed, “I have a good nose, if I’m not mistaken, it should be the smell of plum wine, you know my wife doesn’t like young ladies drinking, so you know what to do. "

Qiao Jiuxiu gave Liu Yiniang a helpless look, her eyes were full of poor little stars, "Mother, please forgive me this time, it's just such a small can of plum wine, nothing will happen, and my wife is busy now. You can't take care of me because of Sixth Sister's marriage."

This motherly cry made Liu Yiniang feel very comfortable, but she quickly regained her senses, "No, Miss Jiu, you must give me this wine, and promise not to drink in the future, of course, if the wife agrees, That is of course a different matter."

"Mother..." Qiao Jiuxiu continued to act coquettishly. When she came out, she told Ye Duanyi that she would invite her over to drink the wine she brewed herself tonight, but she didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway and insist on killing herself. The plum wine was confiscated.Knowing that Liu Yiniang is soft but not hard, she can only resort to such a trick.

"It's useless to call me." Aunt Liu snatched the jar and threw it on the ground. The aroma of plum wine came out, mixed with the smell of earth.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at the broken jar and couldn't help it anymore, "What are you doing? Do you know how much effort I spent making this jar of wine? I personally picked every plum in it, Then soak it in salt water and wait for it to ferment. Even if I can't drink it, you can't ruin it!"

The wine is made of food, and she is clearly wasting food, which is really irritating.

Sixth Yiniang smiled lightly, she didn't care about Qiao Jiuxiu's anger just now, knowing that she didn't have the slightest malice, but simply vented her unhappiness, "Miss Jiu, you have to know how many pairs of eyes are looking at you in Qiao's mansion now, as long as you One wrong step, and they can send you into a situation where you can never be saved."

"I just want to drink a glass of wine, you don't need to go online like this." Qiao Jiuxiu's tone was a bit cold, although she knew that Liu Yiniang was doing it for her own benefit, but her method was a little too much.Aunt Liu didn't explain too much, she just squatted down and cleaned up the mess on the ground with an embroidered handkerchief, "You think a glass of wine is fine, but maybe it's this glass of wine that will send you to hell of."

"It's not that serious." Qiao Jiuxiu flattened her mouth, clearly very angry.

"Yes." Liu Yiniang said very firmly, "Don't think that you can rest easy when Qinglian is dead. This Qiao Mansion can have the first Qinglian, and soon there will be a second Qinglian, and a third. Qinglian, they will always pay attention to your every move, and if they find anything that can be used, they will tell their wife, and then you will be punished."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip. She knew the danger of Qiao's mansion and the kindness of Aunt Liu, so she could only nod her head, "Okay, I understand. I will be careful about my words and deeds." But seeing the fragments on the ground, she felt distressed Terribly.She will be 16 years old in autumn, and it will be the day of marriage. Maybe this is the last can of plum wine she will have in Qiao's mansion.It's a pity that it is gone, as if it was a beautiful wish in my heart, and it will eventually be fragmented into pieces in the face of the cruel reality.

"You remember it best." Six Auntie sighed, and handed her the cap of the plum wine bottle, "There's still a little bit left on it, let's taste it."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded excitedly. Although there was only a little wine on it, she drank it happily. The aroma of the wine was clear and intoxicating. The fragrance lingers.It's a pity that there is only this one bite, and it is somewhat disappointing to taste it.But talk is better than nothing.Thinking that Liu Yiniang was doing it for her own good, she had no reason to be angry.

"Son, remember, if you encounter any troubles in the future, don't fight yourself. After all, I am your mother, and you can come and talk to me if you have anything." Sixth Auntie gently patted Qiao Jiuxiu's shoulder and said.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, if even her own mother doubts, is there anyone in this world who can be trusted?
Therefore, she will never have the slightest hostility towards her.Even if she really wanted to put herself to death, she wouldn't regard her as her enemy, so she should just treat her as what she owed her.
