Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 11 The case of jewelry head-to-head quotation

Sitting on the swing in the yard with her chin propped up, Su Qing held a book of market stories, staring at the page for a long time but couldn't read a single word.

Suddenly, the little girl Anxi walked into the yard holding a brocade box.

Seeing Su Qing sitting there, she walked over and saluted: "Miss, madam has made two new sets of jewelry for each of the female family members in our house, do you want to have a look at it now?"

Su Qing shook her head, and after turning a page, she suddenly stopped the little girl again, "Is there any at Second Miss's?"

An Xi thought for a while and replied: "I seem to have seen An He go to the madam's yard just now, and the second young miss must be there too."

Su Qing nodded thoughtfully, and waved her hand to ask the little girl to put the new set of jewelry into the room.

Putting the book in her hand on the sandalwood table next to her, Su Qing hugged the rope of the swing and looked up at the birds and clouds in the sky.After a while, he smiled slightly.

If she remembered correctly, Mrs. Su would regularly distribute monthly money to the people in the house every month. Although Su Xuerou's monthly money was not as much as Su Qing's, it was definitely not less.And every season, the women in the family will have several sets of new hairstyles and new clothes, but Su Xuerou will always have those sets of gold headgear and two sapphire bracelets.

According to Su Xuerou's personality, she wished she could wear all the previous jewelry on her body, why have she kept those things in exchange for the past few years?Where did the rest of the jewelry go, she was interested.

"Anxi, accompany me to the garden." Su Qing stood up from the swing.

An Xi immediately responded, and asked An Le and An Ping, two little girls, to prepare their stoves and cloaks and follow behind.

Although it is March now, it is going to be cold in the past two days, so the necessary warmth needs to be prepared.

Su Qing stood where she was, asked the servant girl to put the cloak on herself, took over the hand warmer in the embroidered brocade case, and the four of them, the master and the servant, walked to the garden behind the general's mansion.

It's just that Su Qing turned a corner in the middle of the road, walked towards a moon cave gate next to him, and walked slowly along the bluestone path.

"Miss, this is..." An Xi saw the small courtyard ahead, and reminded her in a low voice, "That's the courtyard of Second Miss and Aunt Qiu."

Su Qing smiled lightly: "Why, I can't go anymore?"

Anxi immediately lowered her head and said, "No, just going to that kind of place as a young lady...wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

Holding the hand warmer, Su Qing didn't stop walking: "Since I'm the eldest sister, I naturally have to take care of that younger sister. Otherwise, people outside will not know, and they will say that I am a concubine of the Su family."

Before stepping into the courtyard, Su Qing heard a mournful singing from the courtyard. The voice was soft and moving, mixed with an inexplicable lingering resentment.

She paused at the door, and couldn't help but sneer after hearing the lyrics clearly. She strode into the yard, and saw a soft and beautiful woman in a snow-blue dress embroidered with Suzhou singing in the yard, her brows and eyes slightly frowned. Her delicate strength is no different from Su Xuerou's.

"Aunt Qiu, what song are you singing?" Seeing the embarrassing expression on the woman's face, Su Qing asked lightly, "'If you want to count this love, how can you repay it', are you implying that I Father is a heartless person, right?"

Aunt Qiu was surprised, and when she heard Su Qing's questioning, she quickly smiled and explained: "Miss misunderstood, this is just a piece of music, I was bored in the yard, just trying to relieve my fatigue. I don't want to let The eldest lady heard it, she really should be punished."

Su Qing glanced at her: "That's all for this time. You are the general's aunt. Throw away the old things as soon as you need them. If you spoil the second lady, let me see if my father can forgive you."

Aunt Qiu lowered her head, feeling ashamed and aggrieved: "I won't do it again in the future, so please don't worry about it. I don't know what is the important thing for the eldest lady to come to the low place?"

Su Qing smiled, and An Xi took a yellow rosewood stool from the main room and asked Su Qing to sit down: "After the family dinner last time, Xuerou did something unruly. Moderate use. As the eldest sister, I naturally want to come over and have a look, and personally give pointers to this younger sister."

Aunt Qiu paused for a moment before replying cautiously: "Second Miss just went out, I think she was wandering in the garden outside, I don't know when she will be back, Eldest Miss, why don't you go back first, wait until Second Miss comes back, I will definitely let her go to your place to listen to the instruction."

Su Qing replied slowly: "No need, I'll just wait here."

Seeing Aunt Qiu's submissive look, Su Qing's fingers were a little uncontrollable.

Who would have expected that this seemingly timid woman would endure for 18 years just to make her daughter soar into the sky.But it was really a good method, even the emperor made her wait.

Su Qing tightened the handkerchief in her hand. After her death in her last life, the empty harem must be dominated by only Su Xuerou, right?Aunt Qiu would be very proud if she thought about it?
"Hurry up and make tea, take out the Dahongpao that the master sent over last time and make it." Aunt Qiu had no choice but to order to a woman beside her.

Su Qing said lightly: "No need, I'm not thirsty. Auntie has some good things here, so I'd better keep them for myself."

Aunt Qiu stood there for a moment, her head bowed like a bewildered child, and even the three girls behind Su Qing couldn't bear to see it.

In the past, the eldest lady was also a bit willful. Apart from not wanting to see my aunt, she never came to the door to provoke her.It was the first time that he came to bully someone formally like this.

The emotions of the little girls were caught by Su Qing, but she didn't care, she still sat in the yard calmly.

After a while, I heard footsteps coming from outside the porter's room, and Su Xuerou's unique thin voice: "That guy is getting more and more presumptuous now, this time..."

"Oh, Second Miss, you are finally back. The Eldest Miss is waiting for you in the yard." Aunt Qiu immediately walked to the gate of the courtyard and interrupted Su Xuerou.

Su Xuerou was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her eyes, closed her mouth and entered the yard. After seeing Su Qing, she was inexplicably uneasy, and carefully said with a smile on her face: "I don't know that Eldest Sister is here, Xuerou is rude."

Su Qing looked at An He, the little girl behind Su Xuerou. She had nothing in her hands, and her guess in her heart was almost certain, and her face remained calm: "Just now I heard from Aunt Qiu that you should go to my mother to receive this season." Why didn’t I see you holding things? But someone deliberately made things difficult for you?”

Aunt Qiu was taken aback, and before she had time to speak, Su Xuerou explained nervously: "Then...well, the elder sister didn't know something, and I blame myself for being careless. Seeing that set of jewelry, I like it so much, I can't put it down and want to try it. I tried it, accidentally dropped the jewel pendant on the hairpin, and sent it to a jewelry shop for repair.”
