The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 338 Seventh Sister Invited to Visit the Lake

Qiao Jiuxiu and Baihe waited until after the third watch, but they didn't see Qiao Qixiu coming over, which made them feel a little strange.Qiao Jiuxiu's initial deduction was that Qiao Qixiu would make a special trip to find herself after the dinner was over after knowing that she would not attend the dinner.Then she can take this opportunity to complain to Qiao Qixiu, so that she will no longer be so scruples about herself.But she didn't expect Qiao Qixiu to be so calm, and she obviously didn't react.

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, it seemed that the problem was much more serious than she imagined, and she didn't know how to deal with it.He could only wrinkle his brows tighter.It can be seen that Lily on the side is also very serious.He could only sigh softly, it seemed that he underestimated the enemy, and thought Qiao Qixiu's inner thoughts too simply, so he spread his hands slightly, "Lily, let's rest, it's getting late, as for the remaining Let's worry about the next thing tomorrow."

Lily nodded, although there was a faint uneasiness in her heart, she still didn't say much.She knew how tricky Qiao Qixiu was, otherwise the prince wouldn't have let herself come to help Qiao Jiuxiu.But how to deal with Qiao Qixiu, she didn't have much experience.Because in the past, when she met women who were too scheming to deal with, she simply killed them with a single blow.But Qiao Qixiu can't kill her, otherwise the prince's plan will be completely lost.

And she knew Qiao Jiuxiu's temperament, if she killed Qiao Qixiu, she would probably hate herself for the rest of her life.Qiao Jiuxiu is always kind. Even though Qiao Qixiu has regarded her as an enemy now, she still misses the days when they were sisters, so she has never been able to kill her.She knew that Qiao Jiuxiu had always had such a temperament, so she couldn't say anything more, but she also wanted to remind Qiao Jiuxiu, don't delay their current mission for the sake of their former friendship.

In Lily's world, the eternal task is the first, and other things can only be ranked second.

Just when they were at a loss, they heard a knock on the door, Qiao Jiuxiu opened the door, and saw Ruyi standing at the door, she wanted to welcome Ruyi in, but Ruyi shook her head, "Miss Nine, Miss Seven asked me to come and talk to you Let’s say, tomorrow morning, let’s go swimming in the lake together.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly upon hearing this, but called Ruyi to stop, "Why did she let you talk to me so late? Don't you worry that I'm going to bed?" She always goes to bed early Habit, if it wasn't for waiting for Qiao Qixiu to come over tonight, I'm afraid I would have dreamed of Duke Zhou early.Ruyi seemed to have guessed that Qiao Jiuxiu would ask such a question, so she hurriedly said, "Reporting to Miss Nine, Miss Seven said that I must come to notify after the third watch, and also said that Miss Nine must have not fallen asleep."

Qiao Jiuxiu's face turned pale all of a sudden, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, then she nodded to Ruyi with dark eyes, "I see, you go back and talk to Seventh Sister, I will go out with her."

Ruyi nodded.Then just back out.Qiao Jiuxiu closed the door feebly, then slumped down on the chair, with a very sad expression on her face, she shook her head Qingqian.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's appearance, Lily felt a little sad.He hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. "Miss, how are you?"

Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes were blank, with a bit of melancholy, almost a wry smile, "Lily, do you think I am Seventh Sister's opponent?" She smiled lightly. She originally thought that the initiative tonight would be in her own hands, but I don't want Qiao Qixiu to change from passive to active with a simple move, and she has insight into all the thoughts in her heart, which makes Qiao Jiuxiu feel that the gap between her and Qiao Qixiu is very huge.She didn't know if she could win.

Lily bit her lip. If someone else asked this question, she would answer truthfully, but she couldn't shake Qiao Jiuxiu's confidence, and the expression on her face was somewhat helpless.Qiao Jiuxiu was amused by Baihe's expression, so she could only shake her head, "You don't need to say it, I already know it, I'm afraid I don't have the slightest chance of winning."

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's very depressed appearance, Baihe didn't know how to comfort her, so she just nodded and said to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss, it's not like there's no chance at all. Let's take one step at a time, and we'll always be able to There is a way. You will never be alone, the prince and we will help you."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiuxiu felt warm in her heart. Once upon a time, she also thought that she was no match for Qing He, but she never thought that not only did Qing He not do anything to her, but she even lost her life. Maybe she needs to be more confident in herself.Just because I can't think of a way to deal with Qiao Qixiu now, doesn't mean there will never be a way to deal with it.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu nod her head, Baihe felt a little relieved. The thing she was most worried about now was that Qiao Jiuxiu would lose confidence.

How can she win if she doesn't believe in herself?
On the second day, Qiao Jiuxiu woke up a bit late, after all, she tossed and turned last night, and couldn't fall asleep all night.Qiao Qixiu saw that Qiao Jiuxiu's spirit was not very good, she shook her head slightly, "Why, sister Jiu, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, but she didn't hide it. After all, there was no way to cover up the thick dark circles under her eyes. "Yes, I was very excited thinking that I could go boating on the lake with Seventh Sister today, so I didn't sleep well."

Although she and Qiao Qixiu were chatting and laughing happily, a layer of disappointment appeared in her heart. The unfamiliar tone and clear sense of distance made Qiao Jiuxiu feel very uncomfortable.She also wants to be sisters with Qiao Qixiu for the rest of her life, but now it seems that it should be impossible.She seems to be a different person now, just like she has changed a lot. Those pasts that have passed away so far away have long been unable to recall.

The two got into the carriage one after the other, but it was just an ordinary carriage. It seemed that Qiao Qixiu didn't want to show off. I don't know who this Mawei is for.Lily and another maid were driving outside.The expression on Lily's face was always very serious.This made Qiao Qixiu slightly on guard, because she didn't look like a maid in any case.

She doesn't have the aura of a maid.Qiao Qixiu can be regarded as having seen countless people, and she has always had a bright eye, so she can see it very clearly.Qiao Jiuxiu also knew that the word maid must not be used to explain the existence of Lily.I can only tell the truth, "She was sent by the prince to monitor me. The prince still has a grudge against me, so he keeps someone by his side so that he can supervise me at any time."

Qiao Qixiu nodded, she was quite satisfied with this explanation.At least Qiao Jiuxiu knew that she couldn't use a maid to perfuse herself.It's just an abandoned woman who has already been kicked out of the mansion, why send someone to follow her?

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't explain this either, because she didn't think of a suitable reason, and she knew that if she explained it herself, it would only become more and more chaotic.So just say nothing.However, Qiao Qixiu didn't continue to ask, and it could be seen that she didn't seem to take this question to heart.But after a while, they reached the river.He got out of the carriage and got into a boat.Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu entered the cabin, leaving Baihe and the maid to stay outside.

Lily knew that Qiao Qixiu would not do anything to Qiao Jiuxiu, because she was still protecting outside, Qiao Qixiu should have felt that she was a martial arts practitioner, and she, an ordinary weak woman, naturally did not dare to challenge her.Secondly, she didn't have to do anything to Qiao Jiuxiu, she was so smart, so naturally she wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so she was very relieved.The only worry is the conversation between them, I hope Qiao Jiuxiu can still handle it.

Qiao Jiuxiu was sitting in the cabin, but she was fidgeting. She felt that she was transparent in front of Qiao Qixiu, and she could know every thought in her heart.Qiao Qixiu looked very calm and calm, and poured a cup of tea for herself and Qiao Jiuxiu. "Jiumei, we haven't seen each other for a while, how are you recently?"

This is a question asked knowingly, how she has been doing recently, not only everyone in the Qiao Mansion, but even everyone in the capital is clear about it.So Qiao Qixiu's question seemed meaningless.Qiao Jiuxiu just smiled, "Seventh sister, don't talk about it, don't you know exactly how I am doing? But how did you get here? How come you are the third prince's side concubine?"

Qiao Jiuxiu knew that this was what Qiao Qixiu wanted to say.Sure enough, Qiao Qixiu raised the corners of her lips slightly. According to her previous understanding, such a movement represented satisfaction.She was satisfied that she had asked her such a question.So I heard Qiao Qixiu say, "Actually, there is nothing to say, it's just luck. You know that there are many women in the third prince's house. I just followed the right person, and then she became a princess, so I did it." side princess."

She said it very simply, but Qiao Jiuxiu knew that the process must be very difficult.And how to talk to the right person is a very deep knowledge. Qiao Qixiu said it so simply, just to make her feel that this matter is just a small matter to her.Although Qiao Jiuxiu had never had much contact with other women in the palace, she knew that women were always terrifying creatures.Especially women who fight for power and profit are even more terrifying.So Qiao Qixiu can have the last laugh, she must have her own ability.Moreover, she wants to tell herself this matter, definitely not to show off, she must have her own plan.

Sure enough, Qiao Jiuxiu's guess was correct, and she heard Qiao Qixiu ask, "Jiumei, you should know the current situation of Qiao's mansion, right?"
