The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 297

Seeing Qiao Shaotang nodding, Qiao Jiuxiu told him to go out quickly to meet Aunt Xue, and told him the exact location of Aunt Xue.Qiao Shaotang nodded, then backed out, not feeling anything strange about Qiao Jiuxiu's behavior.

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled happily, this matter is so interesting, she must join in the fun.Anyway, it is always a gratifying thing.Although she knew that this was her elder brother's privacy, she was still very happy to follow behind Qiao Shaotang, waiting to watch a good show during the meeting.Because in the past few days, everyone in Qiao's mansion was exhausted, so they are all resting now, and they didn't see anyone along the way.

Qiao Shaotang walked to Aunt Xue's residence.He let out a light breath at the door, as if he was hesitating whether to go in or not.It seems a little timid.Qiao Jiuxiu hid not far away, watching impatiently, but there was no other way, he could only wait until Qiao Shaotang was mentally prepared, and then gently knocked on the door.

Aunt Xue's voice sounded, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.It seems that she didn't rest, it must be because of many troubles. "who is it?"

Qiao Shaotang only responded, and then heard a loud noise inside, which seemed to be the sound of the table falling to the ground.Qiao Shaotang frowned slightly, and then broke in.Qiao Jiuxiu followed behind her elder brother and also approached the room.But just to help close the concealed door, and then wait by the door.

"Eldest young master, why are you here?" Aunt Xue dodged her eyes and looked at Qiao Shaotang uneasily, with a touch of tenderness lingering in her eyes.Only one face was covered with a veil, for fear of making Qiao Shaotang abrupt.When she was disfigured, she knew that her face was extremely ugly, and she didn't want Qiao Shaotang to see her like this.However, Qiao Shaotang's expression was very calm. When he walked in front of him, he was about to help her take off the veil.

"Young master, don't." Aunt Xue hid back, she didn't want Qiao Shaotang to see her current appearance.She was originally a brothel girl with a low status, she was grateful to be able to enter Qiao's mansion, and even though her wife took away her children these years, she has always been very kind to her.She felt that it was a great honor for her to be able to watch Qiao Shaotang grow up slowly, and she had no other extravagant wishes.

But the veil was already in Qiao Shaotang's hands, revealing a very messy face. In addition to the knife wound, there were also traces of scalding with wax oil. At first glance, it was clear how much she ate to destroy her appearance. suffering.Qiao Shaotang felt even more distressed, and gently raised his hand to cover it, but Aunt Xue hid behind her, "Eldest young master, please don't do this, the old man will not know how to deal with himself."

After she gave birth to Qiao Shaotang, she separated from him.In so many dreams, I hoped that he would be close to me, but over the past twenty years, none of them has become a reality.She had given up all thought of it.But he didn't expect to meet him today.Those eyes lingered longingly, she knew that everything in front of her should be true, but she couldn't believe it was true.

He must be dreaming again.

Qiao Shaotang didn't speak, but just looked at Aunt Xue lightly, as if trying to see traces of herself on that mottled face.Aunt Xue quickly turned around and covered her face with her hands, "Young master, don't look, the appearance of this old body is abrupt, young master."

Qiao Shaotang was still smiling, his eyes were slightly red, "My lord, I don't think my mother is ugly. If you avoid me like this, I will be very sad."

Aunt Xue's body visibly trembled, and she almost couldn't stand upright. When she realized it, she looked at Qiao Shaotang in a daze. What did he say just now?Mother?She never thought that one day he would call herself that, and just this one address made her cry and her eyes flushed.

Only intellectually, I reminded myself that I was probably having auditory hallucinations just now.The wife has already left, and only she and Qiao Jiuxiu know about this.But Miss Jiu had always said that she hoped to cover up this matter as an eternal secret, and she had no reason to tell Qiao Shaotang.

Yes, she must be dreaming, but the scene in this dream is too beautiful.

Her eyes were swollen and red, but she shook her head again and again, "Eldest young master, I'm afraid you are wrong. How could it be your mother in such an old age? Madam just lost her mind. Please don't say such words, young master, it will hurt your wife's heart." .”

Seeing her dodge, Qiao Shaotang felt even more distressed.Handed the letter in my hand to Aunt Xue, "This is a letter my wife wrote to me before she was alive. In the letter, she believed what happened back then. I also asked Jiumei just now, and Jiumei also said that it was true. You are like this, do you not want to recognize me?"

Aunt Xue took the letter tremblingly, and she couldn't stop crying after reading only two lines. She thought that this matter would become an eternal secret with the departure of his wife.She didn't expect that his wife would leave a special letter to Qiao Shaotang, telling the story of the past.

She smiled bitterly. She had blamed and blamed her wife before.It was only at this moment that I realized how narrow-minded I was.Looking up at Qiao Shaotang, "Madam really wrote this letter?"

It's not that she doesn't know his wife's handwriting, but she feels that the big happy event came too suddenly, she didn't prepare for it at all, it has already happened to her head, she is naturally grateful.Only the happiness in the heart cannot be written in words.Qiao Shaotang nodded, "This is my wife's handwriting, and this matter is true. I just want to ask, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Aunt Xue shook her head, her eyes were confused, she really didn't know how to deal with this matter.She never thought that such a day would come. Although she prayed to God and worshiped Buddha every night, she only hoped that Qiao Shaotang would be healthy and have a worry-free life, and she did not dare to promise anything related to herself.He could only bury his head slightly, "Of course the young master has the final say on this matter, the old man is completely at a loss."

She still called Master Qiao Shaotang now, claiming to be an old man.The humble appearance made Qiao Shaotang feel even more distressed. He lowered his eyelids slightly, "I have called you just now, my lord, and you naturally know what I think. If you don't want to, I have no objection."

"No! I am willing." Aunt Xue shook her head quickly. She had been looking forward to being able to recognize Qiao Shaotang. Although she didn't dare to hope more often, when she really waited for this day, she still had recognition in her heart. desire.Qiao Shaotang smiled lightly, and called out to his mother again.

Then Aunt Xue gave Qiao Shaotang a hug, turning all these years of lovesickness into tears, crying like a tearful person.Muttering in his mouth, he told Qiao Shaotang about the past one by one.They were all trivial things he experienced when he was a child, many of which he had forgotten, and some of them were just a faint impression.But Aunt Xue remembered it very clearly, as if she was more like a witness than Qiao Shaotang.

Only Qiao Shaotang knew in her heart that she might remember everything about her because of caring.I am even more moved now.Wei Wei hugged Aunt Xue tightly, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future. There is only one thing that needs to be discussed with you."

Aunt Xue nodded. She naturally knew what Qiao Shaotang was going to say. "Don't worry. It's the happiest thing in my life that you can call me Mr. Mother. I dare not have other thoughts. In the future, I will still call you Young Master in front of people, and let all this be The secrets of the Qiao Mansion." She knew that the Qiao Mansion was in turmoil now, and this matter of hers would definitely cause huge waves in the Qiao Mansion, so it was better not to talk about it.

Qiao Shaotang shook his head slightly, that's not what he was talking about.But he will respect Aunt Xue's choice, and she has the right to choose her own future life.He only lightly held Aunt Xue's hand, "Master, I'm afraid you misunderstood, I'm not talking about this matter. You have also seen the current situation of the Qiao Mansion. As the eldest son of the Qiao Mansion, I naturally have a heavy burden on my body." Responsibility, I am going to go out to do business, so that Qiao's mansion can live a good life and return to the prosperity of the past. As for the past, just follow the wishes of my mother."

Aunt Xue trembled again, "Son, do you want to travel far?" He had just met Qiao Shaotang, and naturally he was 1 reluctant in his heart, but this was also the life Qiao Shaotang had chosen for himself. There was no way to stop it. Nodded, "Then you must pay attention to safety and be careful in everything."

Qiao Shaotang nodded, knowing that Aunt Xue couldn't bear to part with him, and why would he be willing to travel far?He just shook his head, "Mother, don't worry. I will be back soon. I will come to see you when the time comes."

Aunt Xue nodded and looked at Qiao Shaotang. In her heart, she was infinitely grateful to her wife. She was able to teach her child to be so sensible.Qiao Shaotang suddenly made a silent movement, and then walked cautiously to the door. Aunt Xue didn't know why, but she didn't stop her.Qiao Shaotang suddenly opened the door, Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't guard against it, and fell in, but was supported by Qiao Shaotang, otherwise she must have had an intimate contact with the floor.

She smiled embarrassingly, she definitely never thought that Qiao Shaotang would have such a trick all of a sudden.Scratching my earlobe, my face was slightly flushed, "Well, I'm really worried, I know you guys are going to tell a secret, so I came here to keep an eye out."

Well, no one will believe this sentence at all, but anyone with normal intelligence knows that they are here to eavesdrop.But Aunt Xue and Qiao Shaotang were both smiling slightly, not angry.Qiao Jiuxiu stopped where she was, still thinking about how to weave the next reason.

"Jiumei, thank you." Qiao Shaotang said thank you before her.Qiao Jiuxiu could only smile back in embarrassment.
