Rather be a concubine

Chapter 188
For some reason, facing such a smiling Cheng, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help feeling frightened.However, she has been immersed in the back house of Bo Mansion for many years, and she has naturally acquired the ability to hide her emotions and anger, so she didn't let Cheng in front of her see the slightest clue.

Cheng directly grabbed Bao Yuqiao's soft and boneless little hand, patted it twice, and said.

"I've said that sister Qiao doesn't need to be so polite. We are all a family, so why should we be so divided? Now that the old lady asks sister Qiao to come to Xingjian House to help my aunt with chores, I am very happy, aunt. "

Hearing what Cheng said, a faint blush appeared on Bo Yuqiao's face, and then she spoke in a whisper.

"As long as my aunt doesn't dislike Qiao Er's rough hands and feet. Qiao Er is by Auntie's side. If she can learn a little bit of your ability, she will not have to worry about it in the future."

Bo Yuqiao praised Cheng Shi in her words, and didn't mention what happened today. Anyway, as long as A Zhu, a maid, followed Zhuo Qin at night, there must be results. After all, Zhuo Qin is Cheng Shi's confidant, and she handles the matter , nine out of ten were instructed by Cheng.

Seeing Bo Yuqiao's respectful look with lowered eyebrows and restrained eyes, a cold light flashed in Cheng's phoenix eyes, and then he pulled Bo Yuqiao to sit down, and said to Zhuo Qin who was beside her.

"Zhuo Qin, hurry up and get the accounts of our village this year, and show it to Miss Qiao!"

Hearing Cheng's order, Zhuo Qin didn't dare to neglect her, she responded immediately, then turned around and left the main hall, and after a while, holding an account about two fingers thick in her hand, she returned to Bo Yuqiao and In front of Cheng.

Zhuo Qin took a step forward, held the account with both hands, and brought it to Bo Yuqiao, and said to the latter.

"Miss Qiao, this is the output of Zhuangzi this year."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao went straight through the account, opened it and flipped through it, looking at the strings of numbers inside, feeling a little annoyed. If these were replaced by modern accounting methods, it would definitely be much clearer, but at the moment It's not in the Qiongzhi Pavilion, and it's not easy for Bo Yuqiao to expose all her abilities, so as not to cause any trouble.

With that in mind, Bo Yuqiao closed the account with a smile, then turned to look at Cheng, and asked a question.

"Auntie, how many Zhuangzi are there in our Bo mansion?"

Although the third master, Bo Heng, was doing business abroad, the businessmen were not well-known, so the Bo family did not put all their wealth on Bo Heng. The output of these Zhuangzi was the biggest income of the Bo family.

"There are not many Zhuangzi in our house. There are two farms, an orchard, and a Zhuangzi that raises livestock. On weekdays, the ingredients of Bofu are sent from these four Zhuangzi."

Hearing what Cheng said, Bo Yuqiao felt something was wrong in her heart. The huge family property of Bo's mansion should be more than these four Zhuangzi.But just now she also looked at the accounts in her hand, and found that only the four stewards of Zhuangzi came to the Bo manor to pay the accounts. What's going on?

Suddenly, a thought came to Bo Yuqiao's mind, and then she pursed her lips and asked in a low voice.

"Auntie, I wonder how many sacrificial fields we have in Bofu?"

The word "sacrificing fields" caused Cheng's eyes to change slightly.It must be known that the sacrifice land is the foundation of a family. Although it is under the control of the Cheng family now, it cannot be controlled by him like the four farms.The immortals in the clan stared at the sacrificial fields every day, as if they were eyeballs. Even if the Cheng family wanted to start with the sacrificial fields, there was nothing they could do.

"My aunt doesn't know how many sacrificial lands there are in the house. After all, the sacrificial lands belong to the clan, and the proceeds have nothing to do with the Bo mansion."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was slightly surprised, and then her eyes disappeared without a trace as she glanced at Cheng's face, noticing the woman's dodge in her eyebrows, she knew in her heart that Cheng must be hiding something.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help sighing inwardly. Originally, she thought that Mrs. Cheng was the only woman who was not blackened in this huge Bo mansion, but now it seems that she, Bo Yuqiao, is still too shallow , I didn't discover Cheng's true face just now!Not only Bo Yuqiao didn't notice Cheng's strangeness, even the whole family thought that the eldest lady was very soft-tempered, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was kind and could be bullied.

But how can this gloomy woman in front of her be kind and bully?
What Cheng said just now, probably can't find any flaws, after all, the sacrificial land belongs to the clan, which Bo Yuqiao had forgotten.However, in a family, there are not only sacrificed fields, but also hidden fields that have not been reported to the court. These hidden fields are the biggest chips in the hands of the Cheng family!

There was a slight smile on Bo Yuqiao's face, with a deliberate annoyance on her brows and eyes, she spoke directly.

"Qiao Er is really stupid. She even forgot about the matter of offering sacrifices to the fields. I hope you don't blame me, Auntie."

Hearing this, Cheng shook his head slightly, the kind smile on his face remained unchanged, but the coldness in his eyes became more intense.

Bo Yuqiao didn't stay in Xingjian Residence too much today, and he didn't agree to Cheng's offer of staying a meal, so he went straight back to Qiongzhi Pavilion.

After entering the master bedroom of Qiongzhi Pavilion, Bo Yuqiao seemed to have been drained of her strength, causing her to lie limp on the bed, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently like a dilapidated bellows.

After a while, Bo Yuqiao finally regained her composure. She only felt extremely sticky all over her body, which was really unbearable.After staying in the Xingjian Residence for two hours, the obscene clothes inside were already wet with cold sweat. It was really hard to endure the days of intrigue with Cheng.

Bo Yuqiao liked cleanliness at first, but now because her body was sticky, she directly opened her mouth to give instructions, saying.

"Huang Ying, go prepare the bath water first, and I'll take a bath first, and then I'll have dinner."

Hearing this, Huang Ying, the servant girl, responded respectfully, and then she went out of the master bedroom, presumably to prepare water.

The maid Huang Ying's movements are extremely nimble, and it is similar to the rough work of preparing water. In fact, she doesn't need to work too hard, she just needs to watch the maid who comes to pour the water into the tub, and then carefully adjust the water temperature.

After putting the milk in the bath, Huang Ying went out of the ear room, went into the inner room, and spoke to Bo Yuqiao.

"Miss, the water is ready now, do you want to take a bath now?"

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao nodded casually, and then took off the thin gauze covering her head, and then untied the clothes one by one, leaving only the water-red pocket and the bright green bloomers on the lower body.

Bo Yuqiao shunned the maids in the master bedroom, and then went to the anteroom by herself, shedding the last cover, stepped on the twig, and slowly entered the hot bath water.

Huang Ying, the maid, adjusted the water temperature so well that Bo Yuqiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of comfort, and then she half-closed her almond eyes, and soaked in the bathtub.

After soaking like this for half an hour, I heard the knock on the door outside.

"Miss, dinner is ready."

Bo Yuqiao hummed, then stretched lazily, loosening her muscles and bones, and then just fetched a clean towel, wiped off the water droplets on her body, changed another towel, and half twisted her hair. Dry, after putting on the clothes, he went out of the ear room.

Going straight into the dining hall and taking a seat, Bo Yuqiao didn't see Azhu's maid, thinking that it was getting late now, she knew in her heart that Azhu was going to Xingjianju to inquire about news.

The dinner was very rich, including fried chicken nuggets, three delicacies, shredded chicken white fungus, sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, and a pot of braised fish lip.

In these years in Bo's residence, Bo Yuqiao has a very good tongue. Although the dishes in front of her are good, but when she put a spoonful of braised fish lips into her mouth, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help frowning.

It doesn't taste right.

Logically speaking, the taste of canned fish lips should be particularly delicious, but at this moment, there is a slight bitterness in this soup dish.

Bo Yuqiao didn't swallow the soup either, but spit it straight onto the brocade handkerchief, and then spontaneously took off the long silver phoenix carved hairpin, and rubbed the slightly sharp silver hairpin with her fingertips. Jianer, and then put this silver phoenix carved long hairpin into the pot of braised fish lips in front of him.

Sure enough, when Bo Yuqiao took the long hairpin with carved silver phoenix out of the soup, the silver tip that had been immersed in the soup just now had turned black.

Seeing this, Bo Yuqiao's expression turned cold immediately, and then she took the teacup beside her and kept rinsing her mouth.

Although she didn't feel any abnormality in her body now, she absolutely didn't dare to be negligent. After all, although she didn't swallow the soup just now, she still took it in the end. If it has any effect on her body, the loss outweighs the gain up.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao said coldly to Huang Ying who was already startled.

"Huang Ying, go down now and tell Tsing Yi to go to the Xinglin Pavilion and invite Doctor Mo back to his residence."

Hearing Bo Yuqiao's cold order, Huang Ying came back to her senses, and then ran out of the main hall with a pale face, and went to the courtyard to look for Tsing Yi.

When Huang Ying left the main hall, maybe it was because of the poison, Bo Yuqiao felt dizzy for a while, and her eyes couldn't help being a little dizzy.But before she was about to fall asleep, a second-class maid suddenly came to Bo Yuqiao, intending to take away the pot of stewed fish lip that was on the table.

Although Bo Yuqiao said she was a little dizzy now, she wasn't stupid, so she knew the situation was wrong, so she twisted herself severely immediately, and when she regained consciousness, she coldly scolded the maid.

"What are you doing! You don't need to touch the food on the table!"

Seeing Bo Yuqiao's cold eyes, the maid named Qingyu couldn't help trembling, and said nah.

"Miss, the food must have been completely cold, so why don't you go and get another serving?"

Saying that, Qingyu ignored Bo Yuqiao's gloomy complexion, and wanted to forcibly take this pot of stewed fish lips away!
