Miss Qiao covered her face, incredulous. She subconsciously looked at Mrs. Li and the others, and saw that everyone was stunned, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Zhen Miao was thinking, this girl is actually very good at reading people's faces, and this subconsciously looks at Mrs. Li's behavior, which shows that she usually acts by looking at her mother's face, and today she doesn't know where she got the courage.

"Don't look at it, the person who beat you is right in front of you." Zhen Miao smiled and reminded.

She broke the silence with that.

Li Shi rushed over and said exaggeratedly: "Fourth aunt and grandmother, what are you talking about, how can anyone casually stretch out your hand to beat someone, if this spreads, you still think that the girl who went out of our Jian'an Mansion is so domineering!" ”

Zhen Miao turned back and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, before she said unhurriedly: "It's not appropriate for the second aunt to spread this." Respect the national rites first, and then keep the family rites. I am the lord of Jiaming County, this Qiao girl didn't know how to salute when she saw me, and I just punished her slightly, so that she didn't understand the rules, and she would cause even greater trouble in front of other royal relatives and nobles in the future. ”

Zhen Yan also came back to her senses and smiled: "Fourth sister, you always like to worry about others, I think there are not many opportunities for Miss Qiao to see the royal family and nobles in the future." ”

"Oh, that's true, but there's always a chance in everything, like today's accident, who would have thought." Zhen Miao looked at Miss Qiao with a smile, "What happened to Miss Qiao today, have you figured it out?" ”

Miss Qiao let go of her hand, and a distinct slap mark on the side where she was beaten, lining her pale face, looked more and more sad.

Looking at those bright and firm eyes, she unconsciously looked away, but she knew in her heart that this Jia Ming County Lord could do what he said.

"Yes...... It's because I drank too much wine, and I accidentally fell asleep in the Yueji flowers, and I was startled by the little guy who came to investigate......" She swallowed her anger and said this sentence intermittently, and she hated it in her heart.

She said so. Jiang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhen Miao's eyes with gratitude.

If this matter is crooked, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicted with 800, which is really a headache, and it is better to solve it in this way.

"Mrs. Jiang, I'm really sorry for today's incident, so I'll take my little girl back first." Mrs. Li's face was still not very good-looking.

Jiang Shi hurriedly said: "Where did Mrs. Li speak, there is such an omission, and our government is also responsible." ”

After the two of them finished politely, Mrs. Li took Miss Qiao out.

Miss Joe's steps were heavy. couldn't help but glance back at Zhen Miao, who was sitting and drinking tea, and was uneasy in the end, so she froze her feet.

"Ling'er—" Mrs. Li warned dissatisfiedly.

Miss Qiao subconsciously trembled. Of course, she knew the storm she would face when she returned, and if things couldn't get worse, why couldn't she just throw it up?

She clenched her hands in her sleeves and cheered herself up: "County Lord Jiaming, can I say a few words to you alone?" ”

"Ling'er!" Mrs. Lee's face was clouded.

"Mother, my daughter disliked the county lord of Jiaming, and I just wanted to make amends to her." Miss Qiao whispered. looked at Zhen Miao.

Zhen Miao stood up and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then let's go to the compartment." ”

"Fourth sister-" Zhen Yan was dissatisfied with Zhen Miao's agreement.

Zhen Miao gave Zhen Yan a reassuring look, and nodded slightly at Qingdai. Qing Dai quietly followed her into the cubicle.

"What do you want to tell me, Miss Joe?"

Miss Qiao looked at Qing Dai who was standing behind Zhen Miao.

"She is my personal maid, I won't confide in half a word about my affairs, Miss Qiao has something to say quickly, otherwise I don't guarantee that I will have time to listen."

Miss Joe hung her head. The eyes are staring at the little toes that expose the skirt, and the goose-yellow embroidered shoes are embroidered with spring breeze cut willows, which are already a little old. She quietly shrunk back her embroidered shoes, hid in her long skirt, and raised her head to look at Zhen Miao.

"The county lord must not know how difficult it is for a concubine to live, right?" She opened her mouth, "Clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, monthly money, residence, and the servants are all lower than the concubines, all of which can be endured, but even the people who marry are very different." I have three sisters-in-law, one married my father's Shangfeng as a house-filler, the other married the son of an imperial merchant, because my father needed money to pay for his office, and the other was disliked by my mother-in-law, and was seventeen years old and is still detained at home. Am I going to see such a terrible fate fall on my head? I'm just fighting, what's wrong? The county lord, you are already high and worry-free, why can't you raise your noble hand and fulfill me? ”

Zhen Miao rubbed her brows and sighed, "Miss Qiao, I think you are very unreasonable. ”

"What?" Miss Qiao was stunned.

She was the one who slapped someone casually, but she said that she was unreasonable?

Zhen Miao looked away, looked at the pomegranate that was pressed on the branches outside through the diamond-shaped window of the compartment, and said indifferently: "Of course you can strive for happiness, but it is wrong for you to harm others." Why is my cousin responsible for your misfortune? Is it because you are unlucky, you are miserable, and you can be forgiven lightly if you have done something wrong? No, you don't even think you're doing anything wrong. ”

Miss Qiao was so choked by Zhen Miao that she couldn't speak for a long time, and she was ruthless for a while, and said, "County Lord, I heard that when you married into the Zhenguo Mansion, you also fought for it yourself......

Zhen Miao glanced at her lightly: "Miss Qiao, it's because of this that you are not convinced, so you want to say this to me in private?" ”

Miss Qiao didn't say anything, obviously Zhen Miao was right.

For such a county lord with a flawed reputation, the means are obviously the same as herself, but she married into a high gate, of course she will be unhappy.

"Okay, now that we're done, you should go home early and wake up." Zhen Miao didn't want to answer Miss Qiao's words at all.

Yes, what the other party said is also true, but it was not her who did it at the time. Even if it's her, why does she expose her shortcomings and tell them to people who don't matter?

Miss Qiao looked at Zhen Miao's back gloomily, she didn't know why she said this, was she unwilling, or faintly hoped to be recognized by others?

But she ruined her life's happiness, turned her head and was still the county lord on top, and after she went back, she was likely to end up with the same fate as the third sister, if that was the case, she would rather die like this, and not return to that cage!

A cold light flashed in Miss Qiao's eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand to pull off the golden hairpin between her buns and stabbed it at Zhen Miaohou's heart.

Qingdai, who has always been like an invisible person, decisively raised her foot and kicked Miss Qiao away, but fortunately, she flew out and landed on the bed.

Zhen Miao leaned down and picked up the golden hairpin, walked back and put it in Miss Qiao's hand, and sighed: "Miss Qiao, you are so impulsive, does your mother-in-law know?" ”

She didn't even look at Miss Qiao, and floated away with Qingdai.

Miss Qiao looked at the blood marks on her palms that were scratched by the golden hairpin, and woke up like a dream, hurriedly pressed it with a handkerchief, and moved her legs out step by step as if they were filled with lead.

Mrs. Li knew in her heart that Miss Qiao was so bold, and it was indispensable to the instigation of the Li family, and she had no affection for the Li family, so she didn't even say hello, and left with Miss Qiao.

In front of the Jiang family, being treated like this by his mother's family, the Li family was ashamed and angry, and hated Zhen Miao half to death in his heart.

Jiang was still unwilling, although it was not good to disclose the matter to the old lady, but he asked people to hand over a message to Uncle Zhen.

The son and nephew had a chance, and Zhen Erbo was also slightly drunk that day, and when he heard this, he was a little more impulsive than before, and he raised his feet and went to Li's place.

When I arrived at the door, I heard the child's crying, followed by Li's scolding: "Hurry up and carry him to the west, he still cries when he is so old, and the noise gives me a headache." ”

Li Shi was stunned when he saw Uncle Zhen standing at the door, and pulled out a smile for a long time: "Master, I thought you drank too much wine today and rested in the study in the front yard, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Zhen Erbo did not answer Li's words for the first time, but looked at his only son, Brother Li.

Brother Li has been more than two weeks now, and when he saw his father come in, he stopped sobbing, stretched out his arms like lotus roots, and shouted softly, "Daddy-"

Uncle Zhen bent down, picked up Brother Li'er, and said lightly: "Madam, since Brother Li has quarreled with you, then I will take him to rest elsewhere first, and you should rest early." ”

walked out, the wind was blowing, and Zhen Erbo stood in the courtyard but didn't know where to go.

No matter how bad the Li family is, he can't take Brother Li to the concubine.

Bing'er and Yu'er have no brothers, and they will have to count on Brother Li'er to help them in the future, since he can send Brother Li'er's biological mother away early, how can he put him in other concubines, so that they have thoughts that they shouldn't have children.

"Dad, where are you going?"

Uncle Zhen looked at his young son and smiled slightly: "Is it okay for Dad to take you to the study, if Brother Li doesn't cry, Dad will draw a tiger for you." ”

"Okay, okay." The courtyard was sprinkled with the laughter of Brother Li'er's silver bells.

Vaguely spread to Li's ears, she was so angry that she felt distressed, and she had the heart to go to the master to accompany her, and she knew that the master looked good at talking, but once the matter was decided, he would not change it, so she had to sulk, and immediately complained about the troublesome Zhen Miao.

When the girl Qiao went out, she still had a slap print on her face, and although she kept her affairs in the garden hidden, this appearance was still seen by some people, and then there was a faint rumor of Zhen Miao's reputation.

Zhen Miao listened and smiled.

Zhen Yan made an appointment with Zhen Miao to meet and was annoyed.

"Fourth sister, I inquired, and it was the second aunt who said it casually, and it was passed out."

Zhen Miao's face was strange: "Second uncle, do you think that if you can't calculate Cousin Jiang, you will blame me?" But doesn't she know that my fifth sister and I are both girls from Jian'anbo Mansion, I have a bad reputation, and my fifth sister is discussing marriage, what benefits can I get? ”

Zhen Yan smiled bitterly: "Isn't that the case, let's look at it, the fifth sister will be delayed by her." ”

Sure enough, several families who showed interest in Zhen Bing at the banquet that day did not move again, and the Li family was so anxious that they went to urge Zhen Erbo, and Zhen Erbo said: "Bing'er is not in a hurry yet, don't be in a hurry to settle down, just look at each other slowly." ”

The prince has not shown up for a long time, and several princes are ready to move, and under the troubled waters, it is not a good time to get married.

On this day, Zhen Miao was feeding Jinyan, but she heard the maid tell her that the Li family was coming. (To be continued......)
