"Ru Niang, do you have a way to sell my mother's dowry without alarming others?" Zhang Hanqiu flipped through the dowry list casually, and said without raising his head.

Ru Niang thought for a while and shook her head, "It's unlikely, the Wu family has been in charge for many years, even the people who originally went to Mrs. have changed the direction of the wind, it is impossible to hide it, and besides, Mrs.'s dowry is also a lot......"

Zhang Hanqiu also knew that it was impossible, but she was unwilling to let these things fall into the hands of the Wu family.

On the way back, she had already thought about it, she had a lot of silver in her hand, and her mother still saved some for her from Mrs. Jingyi, even if she left the Zhang family, she wouldn't be able to live.

As for Xu Qin......

If marrying is the beginning of her tragedy, why would she use one more man to spoil herself?

Those people teamed up to ruin all her hopes of getting married.

She has so much knowledge in her brain that others don't understand, which is enough for her to entertain herself and pass countless times.

On the evening of that day, Zhang Qiao'er came over with the maid, and shouted as soon as she saw someone, "Sister, I want to sleep with you tonight." ”

Zhang Hanqiu patted the place beside her and motioned for her to sit, "Does my mother know?" ”

"I know, my mother won't stop me." sat next to her, Zhang Qiao'er smiled all over her face, like a beautiful flower stained with morning dew.

Zhang Hanqiu admitted that her stepsister has the ability to make men smit, just like her name.

The two slept on one side.

In the past, the two would sometimes squeeze into a quilt, talk quietly until late, and then yawn and go to breakfast the next morning.

Usually she is the one who is reprimanded by her father, and Zhang Qiao'er can hide from it if she is coquettish.

People's hearts are taken for granted.

Zhang Hanqiu lowered his gaze and waited for the person next to him to speak.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiao'er's silence didn't last long.

"Sister......

"Huh?"

"Sister, if, I mean, if I did something wrong, would you forgive me?"

"I've only been out for two days, what have you done to be sorry for me?"

In the dark, Zhang Hanqiu's voice was inexplicably cold, she knew that she should endure it at this time, and she couldn't make people suspicious, but she couldn't control it.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Qiao'er was trapped in her emotions and didn't hear it at all, "If, if, I'm talking about if." ”

"How can I know what hasn't happened."

"Sister." Zhang Qiao'er sat up with her hug in her arms, her eyes shining in the dark, "I said an if, you can reply to me an if." ”

The quilt opened a hole, and the heat soon became faster, Zhang Hanqiu simply hugged the other half of the quilt and leaned on the head of the bed, "Qiao'er, there are big mistakes and small mistakes, you can't do something wrong and kill me, or make me lose my reputation and ask me to forgive you, would you be willing to replace you?" ”

Zhang Qiao'er stopped talking, the corners of her mouth pursed stubbornly, obviously this answer did not satisfy her.

Zhang Hanqiu pulled the person to lean against her, so that the distance between the two was closer, so that all the heating in the quilt would run away, and waited for her to continue to ask.

"What if it doesn't cost you your honor, let alone your life?"

"It depends, pretty girl, did you really do something sorry for me? Otherwise, why do you keep asking this? ”

"No, oops, don't talk about it, sister, you don't hurt me before." As soon as the quilt was pulled, Zhang Qiaoer lay down with her back to her, regardless of her sister exposing half of her body outside.

Zhang Hanqiu yawned, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister is tired today, will I tell you tomorrow whether to forgive or not?" ”

Zhang Qiao'er snorted and didn't reply, but her heart was much more comfortable.

Thinking that my sister hadn't met with Qi Gongzi, and the family matter was just mentioned, she didn't have any feelings at all, even if her sister knew what she did one day, she wouldn't blame her.

If you don't do that, you will lose your life or lose your honor.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Qiao'er suddenly felt that she was on her feet, and she hadn't slept well after thinking about it for the past few days, so she turned over and fell asleep.

Zhang Hanqiu looked at her for half a night.

It turned out that since this time, the two have hooked up together, no wonder, no wonder!

After this day, Zhang Hanqiu thought that Zhang Qiaoer would continue to bother her with this matter, but she didn't think that she would mention it again.

She no longer comes to her from time to time like before, and you don't have to think much to know where her mind is going.

The words that Ah Jiu reported to her also confirmed all her guesses.

"Miss, the maid asked." Ah Jiu knelt opposite Miss, in the courtyard where few people came here, she still subconsciously lowered her voice, "On the day we went to Qingyuan Temple, the second lady and Mrs. went out together, and I heard that Mrs. went out that day to meet with Mrs. Qi to discuss marriage." ”

After a pause, Ah Jiu added, "I heard that since that day, the second lady has been going out almost every day. ”

Sure enough!

Sending Ah Jiu out, Zhang Hanqiu sneered, if she didn't know all this, she could only admit it, now......

She would never let them do that.

"Miss......" Ru Niang ran in with an excited face, picked her up and ran outside, even forgetting about the humility and humility, "The second uncle is here, the old slave came back from outside and just touched it, you hurry up and go to the front to see you." ”

Zhang Hanqiu's heart was overjoyed, and he immediately calmed down again, climbed the door frame with one hand to fix his figure, and shook his head at Ru Niang, who turned back in doubt, "Wait, you can't rush." ”

Ru Niang took a few deep breaths in a row to calm herself down, and echoed: "Yes, you can't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, you can't let the Wu family see anything." ”

Turning back to the house, Zhang Hanqiu sat down in front of the dresser, "Pick it up for me." ”

"Yes."

It didn't take long for him to "find out the latest and greatest haode clothes and put them on for me." ”

“…… Be. ”

"All the jewelry is haode."

"Miss, your second uncle will think that you are doing well in the Zhang family......"

"Who's to say I'm having a bad time so far?" Zhang Hanqiu took a beaded flower that matched the color of the clothes and put it on, and the earrings also chose the same color, "I haven't left the Zhang family for a day, so I can't let the Wu family feel that something is wrong for a day, if I give her a face, it will be better for her to relax her vigilance against me." ”

Seeing that the young lady's earrings are not always good to wear, Ru Niang reached out to pick them up.

When the two hands touched, she knew from the slight shaking of the young lady that the young lady was not as calm and steady as she appeared.

"Miss......"

"Ru Niang, you don't have to say anything, I know what to do." Zhang Hanqiu clenched her hands into fists and put them on her lap, that was her relative, a relative who might have kindness to her, appeared when she needed family comfort the most, how could she not look forward to it.

However, who knows if he is really reliable.

Rather than hoping and then being disappointed, it is better not to have any hope in the first place.

Ru Niang gritted her teeth in distress, wiped her eyes, and carefully picked up the young lady to look better.

didn't wait long, and the little maid from the main house came over to speak, "Miss, Uncle Xia is here, Madame, please go and talk." ”

"Right away."

Zhang Hanqiu got up, straightened his sleeves, and instructed Ru Niang: "It is impossible for the Wu family not to know about your uncle when you saw it in front, you don't need to pretend at this point, how you should behave in front of your uncle." ”

Ru Niang is not a stupid person, she understood after a little mention, nodded hurriedly, and took a big coat at the door to put on the young lady.

The little maid was still waiting outside, and when she saw them come out, she saluted.

"The slave has seen the eldest lady."

Nodding to her, Zhang Hanqiu said, "Let's go, don't let my mother and uncle wait in a hurry." ”

"Yes."

The closer he got to the main house, the faster Zhang Hanqiu walked, and his face showed just the right amount of urgency.

When he arrived at the door, he stopped, biting his lips lightly, wanting to see and afraid to see.

Xiaolan kept looking at the door, and since she saw her, she glanced at her and smiled: "Eldest sister, why are you standing there still?" Come on in. ”

Wu followed the prestige, his eyes swept around her, he bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, got up with a smile and walked to the door, and pulled her into the door affectionately, "It's your uncle who came, a blood relative, and I'm still shy, I haven't seen you for many years, go and kowtow." ”

Zhang Hanqiu looked up at the man sitting on the left, very tall, with a beard, but his eyes were extremely soft.

Just at a glance, Zhang Hanqiu knew that this person would be good to him.

His nose was sore, and he was almost about to pour out his grievances, but he finally remembered that someone was looking at him hesitantly, and he didn't dare to believe his feelings, so he smiled shyly, and really knelt down and kowtowed in front of the man, "Uncle." ”

Xia Jing compared the person in front of her with when she saw her in Qingyuan Temple, and she only felt distressed and sad.

A little girl who is only thirteen years old, if she is not forced to the extreme, how can she have such a deep thought, people are different from each other.

If someone was blessed, how could he be so well-behaved in front of his stepmother.

Even his sister and niece couldn't protect him, he Xia Jing was really a man in vain.

Thinking of her sister's repeated instructions, Xia Jing finally endured her anger, helped the person up, patted her thin arm gently, and said with a smile: "Does Qiu'er blame your uncle for not coming to see you for so many years?" ”

Zhang Hanqiu shook his head slightly, "Qiu'er is no one's fault, my mother is very good to Qiu'er, my younger brothers and sisters can get along, my brother-in-law has something to do with my brother-in-law, so I don't have to worry about Qiu'er." ”

Xia Jing glanced at the Wu family who showed a satisfied look, and said in his heart, "Uncle can see that Mrs. Zhang is very good to you, Mrs. Zhang, you have bothered all these years." ”

Wu wiped the corners of his mouth with Luo Pa, and smiled gently, "What did Uncle Xia say, Qiu'er is well-behaved, I just did my duty, and I can finally get by, but I am a little puzzled, Uncle Xia has not been here for many years, why is it ...... today?"

"I also came back from my studies not long ago, I haven't seen Qiu'er for many years, and it's not right for me to be an uncle, I should stay in Wuyang for a few more days, but there are still important things to do, I can't stay for a long time today, I don't know if Mrs. can make it convenient, let our nephew and uncle talk for a while."

Hearing that he didn't stay long and left, Wu nodded immediately, "This is natural, there is no Li'er who I am stopping, the yard where the eldest sister lives is not small, if my uncle doesn't dislike it, you might as well go to Qiu'er to sit there." ”

"Thank you very much."
