The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 50 Don't Offend Those in Power

The wife and everyone were startled, staring blankly at the maid who trotted all the way over.Qiao Jiuxiu had an unbelievable expression on her face. As soon as General Ye left, people died in the Qiao family.The wife took everyone to the place where the accident happened.The maid said that Pearl accidentally fell into the river and never floated up again, and when someone went down to pick her up, she was already dead.

The wife sighed slightly, looked at the corpse lying on the side, and only said that someone should go and bury the pearls.And tell the ladies that there is nothing wrong, let them all disperse.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, Pearl's death seemed to be an accident, but in fact it was not, it should have been specially arranged by his wife.Although she was not at the scene when the crime happened, there is no need for my wife to do this kind of thing.The reason for choosing this time is because General Ye has already left, and the guests can leave, so the door can be cleaned up.

The wife turned and left, but the sisters seemed to have opened up a chatter box and began to discuss.Qiao Liuxiu shook her head slightly, as if feeling unworthy for Pearl, "Some people are just pitiful. They were about to become young mistresses, but they fell into the river and lost their lives. So this life doesn't belong to you." You will never get what you want. Even if you see hope for a while, it will only make you more disappointed."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip. Although she was talking about pearls, it sounded like she was talking about herself.Qiao Wuxiu on the side also nodded, "Yes, yes, there is no time to force this fate, it seems that Zhuzhu really did not become the young lady's life. It is good to die like this, so as not to lose our Qiao Mansion in time For the sake of face, he said that he was threatened by a servant girl to become his wife."

Qiao Wuxiu's words made Qiao Jiuxiu's body shudder. This was the fundamental reason why the wife wanted to get rid of Pearl. She had ruined the dignity of Qiao's mansion, so she had to pay the price with her life.Thinking of this, Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, the struggle in Qiao's mansion became more and more intense, she didn't want to stay here any longer, but there was no way to get rid of it.I can only hope that I will not be involved in these battles one after another.

Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Qixiu also expressed a few words of emotion, and even Qiao Shixiu said that Pearl died a bit pitifully.Qiao Yuanxiu just stood aside without speaking, and only sighed slightly after walking past Qiao Jiuxiu.But no one could guess the meaning of that sigh.

"Jinxiu, let's go back." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, Pearl's death was a warning.The wife is warning everyone in the house that anyone who wants to fight against the Qiao family will have a dead end.Sighing lightly, she feels like she is in a cage now. As long as the wife doesn't release her, she will never be able to leave Qiao's mansion. To live a good life, she can only try every means to please the wife.

Jinxiu nodded, and followed Qiao Jiuxiu back to her courtyard.The charcoal and white wax sent by my wife last time have been used up.When Jinxiu went to beg for it again, she was scolded, but she could only get some inferior goods in exchange.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't take this matter to heart, now his wife doesn't like him, so the maids in the house don't have to give him face, after all, this Qiao's mansion is his wife's heaven, she shouldn't and can't disobey her will.

Half sitting on the bed before embroidering the leftover embroidery bags, there are still seven days until the end of the new year, and there are still about five or six embroidery bags, and she happens to use them for embroidery bags in the next few days, so there is no need to think about it Get out so you don't get into any more trouble.Hearing that his wife had already buried Pearl, they informed their parents to come, but the parents held Pearl's body but did not cry or make noise, and did not take Pearl's body away, saying that they asked their wife to help restrain themselves.Although the wife looked worried, she still agreed.After giving them some money, they thanked each other and left.

Qiao Jiuxiu put down the mandarin duck playing in the water embroidered bag, and saw Jinxiu squatting aside, resting her cheeks with her hands, as if she was in deep thought.So he walked to Jinxiu's side, "Jinxiu, what's wrong with you?"

Jinxiu shook her head, "Miss, I just feel that Pearl is so pitiful. Although she shouldn't covet the position of Young Mistress, she shouldn't even lose her life. Mistress is too cruel."

Hearing Jinxiu's words, Qiao Jiuxiu quickly changed her expression and covered Jinxiu's mouth, "Jinxiu, illness enters from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, you just need to know some things, don't talk nonsense, otherwise if others hear it, But you have to suffer. Pearl's death was an accident and has nothing to do with anyone."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Pearl's death has a very close relationship with his wife, but they absolutely do not say such things. If his wife is upset, maybe it will end like Pearl.Jinxiu nodded, she was outspoken just now, she didn't think that partitions have ears, if what she said just now was heard by others, then the fate can be imagined, she patted her chest slightly, she must be doing things in Qiao's mansion Be extra careful.

"Jinxiu, you go to bed first, I'll go outside for a walk." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, put on her plain robe, and wanted to go around the garden. Pearl's death touched her a lot, and she might not be able to do it tonight. sleep peacefully.Jinxiu nodded, although she was a little worried, she still let her go out alone.Knowing that Qiao Jiuxiu's heart is in a state of turmoil right now, it's time to be alone.

Qiao Jiuxiu walked to the courtyard. Ever since the plum blossom tree was given to Qiao Liuxiu, her courtyard has become more and more desolate. If it wasn't for her and Jinxiu still living here, she might not even be popular.This year's winter is not only longer and colder than usual, but it will also create a chill in people's hearts.But seeing Qiao Shaolian walking towards her yard, she gave Qiao Shaolian a wary look, what time is it now, it must be inappropriate for him to appear here.

He wanted to run back to the house, but was blocked by Qiao Shaolian.He seemed to have drank some wine, but he didn't drink much. Maybe it was because he felt stuck in his heart that he wanted to use alcohol to relieve his sorrow, but he was afraid that his wife would blame him if he drank too much, so he could only drink a little.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly. On the surface, he was the handsome young master of the Qiao family, but he didn't have any freedom. He couldn't even make decisions about such trivial matters as how much to drink.

"Ninth Sister, come talk with me." Qiao Shaolian didn't care whether Qiao Jiuxiu agreed or not, and even dragged her hand to the gazebo beside her.Although the gazebo can shelter from the wind and snow, it is still very cold. Qiao Jiuxiu just wanted to go out for a stroll and went back, so she didn't wear much clothes. Now she feels a little cold again, but if she goes back to add clothes, I think Qiao Shaolian will definitely not agree. Because once she goes out, she won't come back.In fact, she just had such a plan.

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu shiver, Qiao Shaolian actually took off his coat and handed it to Qiao Jiuxiu.Qiao Jiuxiu stared at him blankly, but didn't dare to answer. Is this the fourth brother he knew?She didn't remember when the fourth brother was so gentle to people.Qiao Shaolian chuckled, "Sure enough, a bad person who is a habit will be suspected if he wants to do a good thing occasionally. You can put it on. I have no thoughts or malice towards you."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded dully, put on his coat, and still looked at Qiao Shaolian strangely, he was really strange today, he was completely two people in peacetime.Qiao Shaolian ignored Qiao Jiuxiu's tangled expression, and just continued, "I'm sorry about Pearl. I just wanted Pearl to kill that child, but I didn't expect her life to be lost in the end. This is all my fault, I You should be stopped and not allowed to go to your wife. If this matter does not go to your wife, she will not die."

Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief. She and her eldest sister also planned to make peace with each other. It was Pearl who insisted on making this matter a big deal. She hoped that her wife would be in trouble, so she could only agree to her marriage with her fourth brother. She hurt the killer.But he glanced at Qiao Shaolian lightly. What he meant just now was that he had already foreseen Pearl's fate, so he was unwilling to make a big deal out of it?

""Do you still remember Mei Yi?My former maid, I also liked her so much, I even wanted to stop being the young master of Qiao's mansion because of her.But after my wife found out about this, she didn't ask our wishes, so she simply beat the mandarin ducks and asked us to separate the two places. "Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Mei Yi was a second-class maid who left Qiao's mansion due to a serious illness half a year ago. These gossips are not of interest, and now it seems that it is probably because of this matter.

"So, as soon as Pearl's accident happened this time, I knew that my wife would intervene, and she would have no choice but to die. She would not be willing to take the child away and live a peaceful life. My wife also knows Pearl's temperament, and she knows that staying behind must be a disaster. Stabilize her first, and then get rid of her. Speaking of which, Pearl is also at fault, why do you have to worry about being the young mistress? Is being my wife more important than life?"

In Qiao Shaolian's words, there was only puzzlement, but no pity for Pearl, as if he had never liked her.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly and closed her eyes slightly, maybe this is the tragedy of being a woman in this era.In order to survive, in order to survive, she can only rely on the strength of a man, even at the expense of Qingqing's life at all costs. "Fourth brother, don't be emotional anymore. It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest."

Knowing that Qiao Shaolian only came to him to complain, he never dared to say these words, nor did he dare to listen to his complaints. Today he said it all through the strength of alcohol, but Qiao Jiuxiu could only treat him as a When you say stupid words, they go in one ear and out the other, and you absolutely dare not keep them in your heart.

The matter of Pearl is over like this, and I am afraid that no one will dare to question his wife's authority in the future.
