"Phew!" The coachman grabbed the reins of the carriage and gradually stopped.

A tall carriage stopped at the gate of the cottage, and then a servant dressed as a servant came forward to meet it, and put the goods into the warehouse, and finally only two carriages remained, and after a short stop, they slowly moved forward.

The front car is solid and wide, just look at the outside can imagine the comfort inside, the clear oil ruts are smooth, and the horsehair color of the cart is shiny, all showing the owner's financial resources, this one is naturally the carriage of the rich merchant.

The one in the back is not as atmospheric as the front, but it is small and exquisite, with tassels hanging under the eaves, gently swaying with the carriage moving forward.

This is naturally the lady's carriage.

Although it is smaller than the previous one, it is actually spacious and comfortable enough to accommodate three people.

The lady leaned against the window of the car and looked at the hollow smoker that was faintly wafting with smoke.

Xiaoyun knelt on the side, waiting to be told at any time.

Qiushui sat on the other side, feeling the slight jolt of the carriage.

"Where?" Madame asked aloud.

Xiaoyun opened half of the car window, glanced out, closed the window, turned around and replied, "It's almost past the front yard, and it's about to be the backyard." ”

"Hmm." Madame answered lazily and did not answer again.

Xiaoyun cautiously persuaded: "I'll be home soon, this time the master of the lantern festival only brought his wife to go, and the few people in the side courtyard hated it so much that they couldn't hold their breath and began to make big moves." Madame must brace herself and deal with it carefully. ”

"Hmm." Madame didn't know if she had listened, so she agreed casually, still leaning against the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiaoyun opened his mouth and finally did not speak again. Retreat to Qiushuiman's side.

Qiu Shuiman also didn't understand what Mrs. meant, it didn't look like she was going to retreat, was she confident?

After half a ring, the lady spoke: "Last time, that little slut didn't succeed, and we blocked the news again, and the person behind the command was naturally anxious. I'm going to see if it's so daring? Dare to kill and poison me here. ”

Xiaoyun responded: "I think it must be the third aunt's cheap maid, she usually looks at the eyes of her wife, and she can't wait to eat it alive, this thing must be her doing [∨dǐng[∨diǎn[∨ small [∨ said, .+.o●s_(); Target! What's more, besides her, who else can rely on the favor of the master to get this kind of poison? ”

Madame turned to Qiu Shuiman and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qiu Shui pondered for a moment and said, "The eldest lady's maiden family has a huge background, and it is not difficult to get a diǎn poison. The third aunt has motives, abilities, and suspicions. The fourth aunt was born in Qinglou, and she has seen a wide range of people, and she may also get it. The fifth aunt is just a peasant girl, with a weak personality, and if she is coerced to participate, she can't resist. ”

Xiaoyun was angry and said, "According to what you say, there is no innocence." ”

Qiushui Man Diǎn head said: "Since the situation is already like this, instead of looking for comrades in the mire, it is better to treat them all as enemies first and defeat them one by one." ”

Xiaoyun sneered: "We only have so many people, it is okay to deal with one or two of them, but to trip up all of them, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think." ”

"It's hard." Qiu Shuiman agreed: "So we have to spread them apart first, and it will be much easier to deal with them alone." ”

Xiaoyun said: "We haven't even figured out who is with whom we are now, how can we deal with it alone?" If the opponent is outnumbered, it will not be a self-defeating net. ”

Madame listened to the two arguing with each other, but her eyes were half open, looking back and forth.

Qiu Shuiman explained: "We don't have to go to great lengths to find out their private alliances one by one, we just treat the suspects as a gang. ”

Xiaoyun rolled his eyes and said, "If it really becomes like this, we don't have to try at all, we just hit the stone with an egg, we are just killing ourselves." ”

Madame looked at Qiu Shui Man with interest, and listened to how she had left her to die.

Qiushui said: "Although the alliance of opponents increases our disadvantage, it also makes people relax their vigilance against us a little, and it will become our advantage. ”

She continued: "And they deal with us like this, in the final analysis, it is all for the sake of getting the lord and the family property, as long as their purpose remains the same, there is a gap between them and it is impossible for them to be truly harmonious. There are only so many things, except that they are all enemies. ”

"So no matter how many people they co-opt on the surface, we can stir them up, and as long as we divide them, we will only have one opponent," she concluded. ”

Xiaoyun listened to what she said, but she was unwilling to admit defeat, and asked: "It's easy to say, since they can deal with Madame together, they naturally have a plan for a long time." Get rid of the most favored lady first, and then they will have a chance. ”

Qiushui said: "You are right, but this is also our advantage. Madame is the most favored, we are more powerful than them, and if we form an alliance with us, we will get more benefits. ”

"This, how can this be ......" Xiaoyun stammered, denying her claim.

Qiu Shuiman said: "Why is it impossible, the loyalty between them is not as strong as imagined. As long as we provoke and buy people's hearts on the other, I am afraid that they will soon break up. ”

Xiaoyun hated: "Why do we need to please those cheap women, even with our current strength, we may not lose." ”

Qiu Shuiman shook his head and said, "What we want is not 'not necessarily going to lose', but we will definitely win, and we want to win beautifully." ”

"You!" Xiaoyun glared at her angrily, and hung her head in a weak heart, and had to admit that what Qiu Shui Man said was right.

They must not lose.

Qiu Shuiman stopped looking at her, turned his gaze to Madame, and looked directly into her gaze.

Madame had an amusement in her eyes, and she did not shy away from it, and looked at her in the same way.

Then she bowed her head lightly and said with a smile: "It seems that God also feels that he owes me a lot, and now he has sent someone to help me." ”

"Madame......" Xiaoyun shouted aggrievedly: "Madame has had enough of being wronged, and now she has to suffer this kind of sin, and these people are vain and wronged, I, I am really unwilling for Madame!" ”

Madame covered the corners of her mouth and smiled softly, she was already born gorgeous, and her smile was like a tree full of flowers.

Even Qiu Shuiman couldn't help but be attracted and took two more looks.

Mrs. smiled: "I have tasted the bitterness and bitterness of my life, but now I am hypocritical." As long as I can finally fulfill my wish and put this family into my pocket, it will only be one more conversation in the future if I suffer more twists and turns. ”

She asked Qiu Shuiman, "In your opinion, what should we do next?" ”

Qiushui replied: "I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and I must first find out the general situation. Now that we have the bait, let's put the hook down and see what we can get out of this lake. ”

Xiaoyun was just suppressed, and now he couldn't help but interject sarcastically: "This is not what we have set before, seeing that you are the truth, I thought you really had any unique opinions." ”

Madame said, "I think so too. ”

Xiaoyun hurriedly smiled and said, "This plan was originally Madame's idea, and this is indeed the most suitable method." ”

Qiu Shuiman couldn't help but glance at her.

Xiaoyun ignored her and asked, "That little slut I have been serving me well these days, but he has a backbone, and he didn't come out of anything." ”

Mrs. said lightly: "If you want people to grit their teeth and not speak, there is a way." In addition to loyalty to the master, there is also coercion and temptation. ”

Xiaoyun said in frustration: "It's a pity that we didn't ask anything, the little slut came in last time when he accepted people, and he has been working on the master's side, and on the surface, he has no friendship with either side." The deed of sale said that he was an orphan, and his family could not find it. ”

Madame smiled: "If it were me, I would naturally pick one that would not attract people's attention." ”

Qiu Shui comforted on the side: "One step at a time, no matter what, now that people are in our hands, we have the advantage." ”

The three of them discussed in the carriage for a while.

In another bright and spacious hall, there were also two people discussing important matters.

Xiao Jue's face was expressionless, and he turned his gaze from the red hijab on the table to the county lord, and asked, "You specially came to me just to choose this?" ”

The county lord hesitated between the various paragraphs, looked at one side with his eyes on one side, held the other party in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is to be used at the time of the wedding, so it is naturally the top priority." Which one do you prefer? ”

Xiao said impatiently: "Either one is good." ”

The county lord picked up one side and asked: "Look at this side, the style is simple, the lace is exquisitely embroidered, this is the material of the best silk sent from the south, and there are few horses in the entire palace." ”

Xiao Jue said: "It's good if you like it, I don't pay attention to dressing, and I don't know much about women's things." You can make your own decisions about these things, the county lord is very smart and has always had unique opinions. ”

After speaking, he bowed and said back: "I'll go back to the room first, if there is anything, you can send someone to inform." He left immediately.

The county lord grabbed the silk satin and complained: "A diǎn is not considerate. ”

The maid next to her saw that Xiao Jue was gone, so she dared to retract her nervous heart, and also said: "County Lord, this person is too arrogant, we kindly saved him, treated him, and provided him with food and clothing, you still don't dislike her background and commit to marrying, this is a blessing for many people, he always has a straight face, he really doesn't know how to lift." ”

The county lord said: "When will it be your turn to accuse the master?" When we become relatives, he is a colt, who gave you the courage to be big or small? ”

The maid was startled, knelt down and said, "The slave knows that she is wrong, but the slave and maid don't dare." ”

The county lord looked at him and said lightly, "Get up." You have followed me since you were a child, and I have spoiled you. In the future, I will become a parent, and Xiao Jue is also the master here, don't take the lead and go out of line. ”

The maid stood up and said with a flattering smile: "What the county lord said is that the slave and maid must follow the teachings. ”

The county lord smiled: "It will be poor." Just choose this side and put it all away. ”

The maid answered, neatly tidying up a messy table.

Xiao Never walked out of the door, didn't pay attention to the discussions behind him, and walked out. When the servants saw him on the way, they all saluted respectfully.

Xiao Jue was still faint, and he couldn't see any expression.
