The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 94

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's return, Jinxiu hurriedly went up to meet her, her face was full of worry, the wife asked the young lady to see her alone, there must be something wrong, maybe it's not a good thing, she was very worried.So as soon as Qiao Jiuxiu came back, he immediately greeted her, "Miss, what is the reason why Madam is looking for you?"

Qiao Jiuxiu found a place to sit down, and shook her head slightly, "It's about reconciliation at the end of the year, my wife already knew about my sale of jewelry. Then she got angry, saying that I had lost face to Qiao's family, and that I would be in a daze recently." Close the door and think about your mistakes." Qiao Jiuxiu's tone was very calm, since she first planned to sell the jewelry, she guessed that there would be such an end.And the wife just let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors, this punishment is not too severe.

Jinxiu bit her lips slightly, almost crying, "Miss, it's all my fault. If Jinxiu is good enough, she can take care of those long-term workers and let them work hard without raising their salaries. Then Miss will not have to sell her jewelry, and she won't have to be punished by the wife." Scolding, don't have to face the wall and think about it."

The more Jin Xiu talked, the more sad she became, as if all this was her fault.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, and pulled Jinxiu to sit down, "Jinxiu, what are you thinking about again? Those long-term workers are so powerful, even if you give them a raise, you may not be able to get them done. You are just a weak woman, don't give up all your money. The responsibility is all on you alone. Wouldn’t it be better to face the wall and think about your mistakes? Then I can do embroidery quietly by myself, and no one will disturb me. It’s a blessing in disguise.”

"Miss is really open-minded." Jinxiu sighed, "But it's still my fault, it's all because Jinxiu is not good, and Miss doesn't blame Jinxiu, it will make my heart feel deeper guilt." Jinxiu said, raising her head carefully , observing Qiao Jiuxiu's expression, "How about, miss, you scold me a few words, so that I can feel more balanced in my heart."

Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly wanted to tease Jinxiu, so she put on a serious expression, slightly raised her hand and patted the table, "Okay, let me ask you, you have been out of the house alone three times after the New Year, what did you do?" Woolen cloth?"

Jinxiu obviously swallowed her saliva, and her tone became hesitant, "That, that, I went to see Pearl. I have a good relationship with her, and I want to visit her. Didn't I already tell the miss Has it passed? Does the lady not believe me?"

Jinxiu's tone was clearly trembling and nervous, Qiao Jiuxiu smiled lightly, she must have something hidden in her heart, having known her for so long, when did she become nervous when talking to herself?

"Really?" Qiao Jiuxiu got up, "I met Song Yu on the way back just now. He greeted you and told me something. Jinxiu, are you even going to lie to me?"

When Qiao Jiuxiu said this, she still had a very serious expression, Jinxiu took half a step back, is Miss angry?She bit her lips tightly, "Miss, Jinxiu dare not, Jinxiu really went to see Pearl."

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu suppressed a smile in her heart, she didn't expect that Jinxiu would not die before reaching the Yellow River, so she could only continue to maintain an appearance of "I'm very angry", Jinxiu bit her lips even tighter, and could only use a smaller voice to promise Said, "Well, then I stopped by to visit Song Yu. I heard that he was ill, and there was no one to take care of him. Thinking that he helped us so much at the end of the year, and now he is in trouble, There's no reason not to help."

Jinxiu's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and she could only barely understand it with her ears pricked up.Qiao Jiuxiu finally couldn't help it, and let out a laugh, "Jinxiu, that's it, you're not attracted to him?"

Jinxiu blushed, and punched Qiao Jiuxiu with her fist, "Miss, you are so disgusting, you have to force people to tell you about this kind of thing, you bully me, I won't let you go in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qiao Jiuxiu felt more and more that making Jinxiu happy is a very fun thing, "You don't like me, are you planning to be with Song Yu? Hey, it's really a girl who doesn't want to stay."

"Miss, what are you talking about." Jinxiu gently pushed Qiao Jiuxiu, her face was flushed, "Nothing happened to Song Yu, I don't like him."

Although Jinxiu was categorical, Qiao Jiuxiu felt more and more that she was worthless here.Gently pushed Jinxiu, "Are you serious? Then you make a special trip to visit him alone, so you won't be afraid of being misunderstood by others?"

When Qiao Jiuxiu said this, Jinxiu's face became more and more rosy, and it could faintly drip water.She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Qiao Jiuxiu, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

Seeing that she had had enough teasing, Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head lightly, "Okay, since you said you have nothing to do with Song Yu, then I'll return the letter and things to him, and let him stop pestering you."

"A letter? Something?" Jinxiu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu strangely, what letter and something.

"This letter is a love letter, and this thing is a token of love." Qiao Jiuxiu deliberately took it out, and waved it in front of Jinxiu, "But you said that you have nothing to do with him, so it's better to return these to him. Don't worry, I will make it clear to him, and I will stay away from you in the future."

"Wait." Jinxiu had already snatched the letter and things, took out the jade bracelet, her eyes widened like copper bells, "God, didn't Brother Song Yu's own mother leave this jade bracelet to him?"

"Yes, it's for his future wife." Qiao Jiuxiu put her whole body on Jinxiu's body, "Jinxiu, it's not the miss who said you. If you miss out on such a man, you will regret it."

"Miss." Jinxiu blushed, if there was a crack in the floor, she would definitely slip in without hesitation.

"You mean you don't like it anymore?" Qiao Jiuxiu made a gesture to snatch it back, "Since you don't like it, I'll return it to Song Yu immediately, let him keep it, and give it to the woman he likes later."

"Miss!" Jin Xiu seemed to be able to say only these two words.Protecting those two things like a hen protecting food, Qiao Jiuxiu smiled and shook her head, "Oh, so you like him. Well, this matter is on me, let me match you up , you are my best sister, I must make this wedding dress myself."

"I haven't said I want to marry yet." Jinxiu's face became more and more rosy, and she opened the letter, "I want to see what he has to say, and if the words are not pleasant, the lady will help me reject him."

"What if it sounds nice?" Qiao Jiuxiu laughed even harder. She felt that today must be a good day. Although she was punished by the wife, it was very worthwhile to see Jinxiu in such distress.

Jinxiu ignored Qiao Jiuxiu and opened the letter. It was a love poem, and it was written very implicitly. One of the lines was, "When you meet and give a jade watch with sincerity, Xu Qing has a bright future." After entering, there was another meaning faintly, Jinxiu's face became more rosy when she saw it.

"Oh, look at your expression, what did Song Yu say?" Qiao Jiuxiu approached, Jinxiu stuffed the letter paper into her mouth in a panic, and swallowed it, and there was a dead body.Qiao Jiuxiu glared at Jinxiu, even if she didn't want to show it to her, she didn't have to be so desperate.He snatched the jade bracelet and handed it to Jinxiu, "Come on, you swallow this too. I only heard of suicide by swallowing gold, you can try to commit suicide by swallowing the bracelet."

"Miss..." Jinxiu gave Qiao Jiuxiu a sad look, and carefully put the jade bracelet on her hand, "Actually, Miss Jinxiu should know what Jinxiu wants."

Seeing Jinxiu showing such embarrassment, Qiao Jiuxiu could only shake her head slightly. Of course she knew Jinxiu's intentions. It was just a joke. After all, it was a major marriage. Do you like Song Yu? I hope you can answer this question honestly."

"Well, yes." Jin Xiu nodded, and this time she answered very simply, "Miss, I like Song Yu, although I don't know why, but I like it very much. He is a very good man, I want to be with him together, just..."

"It's just that the Qiao Mansion has the rules of the Qiao Mansion." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, and pulled Jinxiu to sit down, "So I have already told Song Yu that if you really like each other, you should wait a few years for your wife. Let you go out of the mansion, and you can have a lover and get married. But I am worried that my wife will regard you as my dowry maid and marry with me. If this is the case, what should I do?"

Qiao Jiuxiu knows that many young ladies will have one or two dowry maids when they get married. Although this is usually a privilege only enjoyed by the wife-lord, Qiao Jiuxiu is worried that accidents will happen.Her marriage was already doomed to be ruined in the hands of his wife, so she couldn't let Jinxiu get involved.

Jinxiu also had a serious face, obviously thinking about this complicated issue, and finally sighed softly after a long time, "Miss, don't worry, if there really comes a day, even if I elope and go far away, I will follow him of."

Qiao Jiuxiu was slightly taken aback, Jinxiu has always been submissive, she never thought that she would have such an idea.She didn't support or object, she just patted Jin Xiu on the shoulder, "I will support you in whatever you do. Just promise me that you will only do this when you are desperate, okay?"

Jinxiu nodded, this was originally the last way.In the past, it was not that there were no maids who eloped, but the end was very bleak. Either they were caught and reported to the officials, or they were abandoned and left alone for the rest of their lives.So unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not choose such a path.But she just this year, and there are still seven years before she turns 25, so it's hard to be sure what will happen.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, Jinxiu still has the last way to elope before marriage, but she doesn't even have the last way, if she escapes from Qiao's house, the wife will definitely do everything possible to catch herself back, Then clean it up severely, so that you will never have a chance to turn around.Moreover, she has been living in Qiao's Mansion since she crossed over, if she left suddenly, she really didn't know what to do.

She suddenly felt that all her edges and corners had been smoothed away.
