The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 45

Jinxiu shook her head slightly, "Miss, of course I know that Pearl is a bad person. But I have no way to stay away from her. As servants, we must be kind to others at all times, and if we don't pay attention, we may fall off the hook. That's why I get along with Pearl It's very good, but in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to get in touch with her. I always feel that if I stay with her for a long time, I will dirty myself."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, this is also one of the survival rules of the Qiao Mansion.You can't be nice to someone just because you like it, and you can't be nice to someone you don't like.You have to be kind to others and try not to offend anyone, so that you can live better in this house.But now she has offended Qiao Shaolian because of Pearl, wondering if he will take revenge on her in the future?She sighed, but she couldn't stay out of the matter of Pearl, if she offended Qiao Shaolian, she would offend Qiao Shaolian.

Anyway, for her fourth brother, she didn't have any good impressions.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu seemed to have something on her mind, Jinxiu asked with concern. "Why did you suddenly think of asking Pearl about it? Could it be that she did something to you?"

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, went to the bed and sat down. "It's just that I met her today and thought she was pretty nice. I thought you knew her, so I came here to ask. By the way, Jinxiu, can you tell me how Pearl seduced the young master back then?"

"Yeah." Jinxiu knew it was not good to gossip behind others' backs, but since Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to know, she could only tell the truth. "Probably four years ago, when the young master and the young lady got very close, Pearl was only a second-class maid. One night the young master got drunk, and then Pearl climbed into his bed, but at that time the young lady The young master was still conscious, so he got up and left without letting her succeed. Later, when the eldest lady found out about this, she punished Pearl to face the wall and think about it for a long time."

Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, this method is somewhat similar to what Qiao Shaolian said, could it be that Pearl seduced Qiao Shaolian first?Just to be the wife of the Qiao family?No wonder she refused to kill that child, it was her bargaining chip.And she was unwilling to move out, because she knew that once she left Qiao's mansion, she would never come back.Thinking of this, Qiao Jiuxiu felt that cold sweat was breaking out on her back. Pearl actually had such vicious intentions. She thought she was a kind woman, and she really knew people but didn't know her heart.

Of course, this may just be my own guess.After all, Qiao Shaolian also has a bad record, so it is reasonable for him to strengthen Pearl.Qiao Jiuxiu felt that there was only one thing she could do now.

Mingzhe protects himself.

She doesn't ask about Pearl and Qiao Shaolian's affairs, this is the best way.

"Miss, what happened to you today?" Jinxiu saw Qiao Jiuxiu's expression for a while, and was very worried, "Could it be that Miss has something that even Jinxiu can't tell?"

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, she and Jinxiu were not only master and servant, but also sisters, so there were no secrets at all, and Jinxiu was tight-lipped, so she could help herself analyze it.So Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and told Jinxiu about Pearl's pregnancy.After hearing this, Jin Xiu's eyes widened, "God, does she really have a child of the Fourth Young Master?"

"That's what Doctor Song said." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, "Jinxiu, what should we do now?"

She really doesn't know what to do now.Qiao Jiuxiu took Jinxiu's hand and asked, her face full of urgency.Jinxiu bit her lips slightly, "Miss, we'd better protect ourselves in this matter, and don't get involved in it anymore. Pearl has a strong temper, and Fourth Young Master will never give in, so this matter can't be reduced to a minor one, and sooner or later it will come to the wife Go, we'd better take a step back and ignore everything."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, that's all she can do now.But Jinxiu continued to say, "Or, we can ask Missy, Zhuzhu belongs to Missy, and Fourth Young Master is also Missy's younger brother, so it is most appropriate for her to handle this matter."

Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes lit up, this is really a good idea, so she took Jinxiu together and prepared to go find Qiao Yuanxiu.He didn't expect to see Ye Duanyi rushing over when he pushed the door, with tears on his face, faintly crying just now.

"Sister Ye, what's the matter?" Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback by Ye Duanyi's appearance, and quickly brought her into the room.Ye Duanyi leaned against Qiao Jiuxiu's body and cried for a long time before raising her red and swollen eyes, "Ninth Sister, Shaotang doesn't want to marry me anymore."

Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, Ye Duanyi was gentle, lovely, beautiful and generous, such a perfect woman, why didn't Qiao Shaotang like it?And isn't their marriage already settled?General Ye and his wife were very satisfied, and they were waiting for another day to get married.She knows the eldest brother's temper, and he will definitely not disobey his wife's intentions, so how could he not marry Ye Duanyi? "Sister Ye, what happened? Why do you say that elder brother doesn't want to marry you?"

Ye Duanyi's eyes were red and swollen, she looked very pitiful, even wiped away her tears, she shook her head slightly, "I have been living in the elder sister's other courtyard, just now I wanted to sit in Shaotang's room, and there was a servant girl just sitting down When she came to serve me tea, she knocked over the teacup, and I just said two harsh words. When Shaotang saw it, he actually reprimanded me, saying that I had the temper of a young lady. But, how could I? Playing Missy's temper?"

Ye Duanyi complained aggrievedly.Qiao Jiu sighed lightly, it was just a trivial matter.If it were reprimanded by others, Ye Duanyi might not take it to heart at all, but this person is her favorite Qiao Shaotang.And he still reprimanded another woman in order to protect her, Ye Duanyi naturally felt very uncomfortable. "Sister Ye, elder brother only said a few words about you, why do you say that he doesn't want to marry you?"

"He said it himself." Ye Duanyi sobbed, "He said don't pretend to be the future mistress of Qiao's mansion just because you think you are destined to be General Ye's daughter. It's not certain whether he will marry me or not."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ye Duanyi suspiciously, did his elder brother say these words?He has always been as gentle as jade, why would he say such harsh words?I think it's because of my anger.After he calms down, he will definitely apologize to Ye Duanyi.I remember that I broke my elder brother's favorite four treasures of the study before, and my elder brother also scolded me at that time, but that night I bought myself a gift to make amends.

"Sister Ye, don't think too much." Qiao Jiuxiu patted Ye Duanyi's hand and said, "By the way, the maid you scolded should be Yuzhi. Yuzhi has been with her elder brother since she was a child, and her elder brother regards her as his own." Like a younger sister, seeing Yuzhi being talked about, she said those hurtful words out of impatience, so don't worry about it."

"Is it just my sister?" Ye Duanyi said dissatisfied, "I think Shaotang likes her quite a lot, so I might as well accept her to fill in the house, I have no objection."

Knowing that Ye Duanyi was just fighting, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't take it seriously, "I said, Sister Ye, are you jealous? Don't worry, Yuzhi has been with the elder brother for so many years, and even the wife intentionally let Yuzhi follow the elder brother. But the eldest brother is still the same, he just regards her as his younger sister. He didn't accept Yuzhi at that time, so how can he accept her now?"

Ye Duanyi blushed, and pulled her hand out of Qiao Jiuxiu's, "What did my younger sister say, how could I be jealous? But Shaotang doesn't like Yuzhi, I...I'm very happy."

"You." Qiao Jiuxiu let out a chuckle, knowing that Ye Duanyi's mood had improved, so the two women chatted and made some jokes.Ye Duanyi hasn't chatted with Qiao Jiuxiu for a long time. Thinking about Ye Yulang's affairs, she intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Ye Yulang, "Ninth Sister, didn't my second brother meet you a few days ago? Do you like him? "

"Ah?" Although Qiao Jiuxiu knew that Ye Duanyi had always been forthright and unrestrained, she didn't expect that she could be so forthright. She threw this out without making any preparations.Qiao Jiuxiu twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, what could she say.

"Come on," Ye Duanyi pushed Qiao Jiuxiu, "My second brother is handsome and has a very good personality. He is not a problem with riding, archery, poetry and books, and he doesn't even have a wife and concubine. If you like him For him, you have to hurry up, I'm waiting for you to be my second sister-in-law. But it doesn't matter if you don't want to. There are also eldest brother and third brother, you can choose any man from our Ye family, I will help you You are a matchmaker."

Speaking of which, Ye Duanyi patted her chest and abdomen very boldly, and she completely lost the aggrieved look of her little daughter just now.Qiao Jiuxiu laughed more and more awkwardly, "Sister Ye, I haven't reached the end of the year yet, I'm just a child, it's too early to talk about it now." Although Qiao Jiuxiu had a pretty good impression of Ye Yulang, but his wife had already said, She won't let herself marry into the Ye family.There is nothing she can do about it being satisfied.

"Okay then, let's not talk about the marriage, let's let you get along for a while and you can't find a reason to refuse." Ye Duanyi took Qiao Jiuxiu's hand, "I really want you to be my second wife." Sister-in-law, if you don’t like it, you can contact the second brother for a while, and if you don’t like it, I will definitely not interfere with your freedom of marriage.”

"But...but..." Qiao Jiuxiu was still a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to reject Ye Duanyi in order to make her give up, so she could only reluctantly nodded.
