Second Master Qiao said worriedly, "If you don't send medicinal herbs over there, Niangniang's tonic soup can't be concocted on time, and Niangniang will only blame us." ”

Xue Tao looked unhappy, "Then what should I do?" Is it possible that we still have to find medicinal materials ourselves? ”

When the Third Highness wanted to use their land to concoct medicinal materials, she was not happy.

She thought farther than Fourth Master Qiao.

Although it is the trust and reuse of the Third Highness to them that they requisitioned their land, but if something happens, is it their four rooms that carry the pot, or a boiling cauldron, this crime is in the imperial dynasty, not to mention the nine clans, at least it is all over the house, right?

It's just that Ye's extraordinary trust in His Highness, as well as the excitement of being reused by His Highness, made Ye get carried away and vowed to handle this matter properly.

Suitable?

If it was really so proper, His Highness would not retreat and move the place where the medicinal materials were concocted to the fourth room of them.

She also understands the truth of "seeking wealth and danger", so she has no objection.

"That's not necessary, I've already asked someone to bring a message to His Highness, and His Highness will arrange it. You don't have to be too careful, we just provide the location and send the medicine, the rest has nothing to do with us, I think, His Royal Highness must have known that the medicine is not enough, and has already made people think of a way, I took the initiative to inform Niangniang, but also to prevent trouble, afraid that Niangniang will be angry with us when the time comes. ”

"Master, if you go past His Highness and report directly to Niangniang, will it cause His Highness's displeasure?" Xue Tao was still very cautious.

Fourth Master Qiao shook his head, "I'm just doing my best, and when the master is negligent, I remind that the master should be satisfied with my loyalty, where will I be unhappy?" ”

Xue Tao saw that Fourth Master Qiao was so sure, and his heart was a little more stable.

A few days later.

"The fifth is here?" Hearing the porter's report, Xue Tao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Before the separation, although the second room has been stammering with the fourth room, the people in the two rooms really have no friendship, especially the people in the second room who carried the people of the Qiao family behind their backs in the capital and made the second prince in the capital and opened the "Shu Embroidery Building".

When the family was separated, the secret recipe of the Qiao family became a public thing, not only did the fourth room not take any advantage, but the people in the second and third rooms successfully separated the family through their hands, and also made an inexplicable fifth room!

It's all about to break up, and I made an illegitimate child to slap the old lady in the face!

The old lady has enjoyed decades of honor in the backyard, and she is old, and she has been humiliated!

Xue Tao didn't really feel sorry for Mrs. Qiao, but the old lady was uncomfortable, so she would go to the master to chat, and if she chatted too much, the master was not comfortable, and even with her would be implicated.

"What is she here for?" Xue Tao felt very uncomfortable, "If you don't hand over a post first, people will come directly, what about her rules?" Or did she think that her status as the concubine of Her Second Highness could do anything, and she could go anywhere? ”

The maid didn't dare to speak, so she just buried her head and waited for Xue Tao's orders.

"Since she's here to visit the old lady, I can't stop her, right?"

After Xue Tao's words, the little maid went out tremblingly.

Xue Tao asked her to change her clothes, and when she slowly rushed to Old Madam Qiao's yard, Qiao Ningdai had already spoken to Old Madam Qiao.

Anyway, Qiao Ningdai is also her nominal granddaughter, Mrs. Qiao is used to acting, and she also likes this kind of filial piety on her face, and her face full of wrinkles is becoming more and more kind.

"Fourth aunt." Seeing Xue Tao, Qiao Ningdai hurriedly stood up.

"The fifth is here, it's really a rare guest." Xue Tao's tone was not sour, and her words were full of politeness, but for some reason, Qiao Ningdai heard the taste of sarcasm.

"Fourth aunt, is this blaming her niece?"

"Old Five, what are you talking about?" Xue Tao's title to Qiao Ningdai is still in the order of the Qiao family, which seems very cordial, but there is a bit of sincerity in this kindness, only she knows.

Qiao Ningdai said coquettishly: "The fourth aunt is blaming her niece for not coming to see her grandmother these days, right?" Grandmothers and granddaughters didn't mean to. ”

Pulling Mrs. Qiao's sleeve and shaking it slightly.

It was supposed to be a delicate action, but Old Madam Qiao got goosebumps.

Silently pulling away her sleeves and picking up the teacup in disguise, Old Madam Qiao said, "Your fourth aunt is just a joke, you take it seriously." Your fourth aunt hopes that you can come back and sit more, but you are now a member of the Second Highness, and the rules are there, so we can only say a few more words to you on weekdays. They are all girls from Qiao's house, and my grandmother hopes that you can all live a good life, and don't become estranged from your mother's family just because you are married. Although the family is separated, you are still members of the Qiao family, and you can't write two Qiao characters in one stroke, especially a few of you, one has entered the Second Royal Highness's Mansion, and the two are in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, you are all my pampered granddaughters, and my grandmother hopes that you can support each other and get better and better. ”

"Grandmother is right, it was her granddaughter who wanted to go wrong before, and she was worried that her grandmother would anger her granddaughter because of the separation, so she didn't dare to move around with the fourth aunt."

"What are you talking about?" Old Madam Qiao deliberately said with disgust, "If you are separated, you are also a family, and the blood in your bones cannot be erased." ”

"What my grandmother said is that in the past, it was the granddaughter who wanted to go wrong, and the granddaughter will not be in the future."

Old Madam Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "It's best if you can think so." It's a pity that you came in a hurry, if you say it in advance, your fourth aunt will call your third sister and Qiaoqiao back, and the three of you sisters will get together. ”

Sighing, Old Madam Qiao said again: "The three of you sisters left the pavilion one after another, and Grandmother's side was empty all of a sudden, and I am not used to it until now." In the future, the Qiao family will rely on you, brothers and sisters must support each other, no longer childish, and compete for favor like when they were children. You are one, you are all good, and the Qiao family is good. Your husband's family is your future, but your mother's family is your foundation, you must know that your glory belongs to your husband's family, but you have been wronged outside, only your mother's family is sincere to protect you. ”

"Grandmother, these granddaughters remember it, it was the granddaughters who were ignorant before, got married, saw a lot, experienced a lot, and understood the truth of their grandmother's words."

Xue Tao raised her eyebrows.

I have to say that Qiao Ningdai's transformation was beyond her expectations.

When there was no separation, the second room was tied to the fourth room, and wanted to get benefits from the fourth room, and when the fourth room was calculated as a long room, the second room was at the forefront, acting as a thug.

This Qiao Ningdai flatters Qiao Jinwen all day long, Qiao Jinwen asks her to do things, in front of Qiao Jinwen, Qiao Ningdai is not even as good as a minion.

It was only a long time before Qiao Ningdai turned over and became the concubine of His Second Highness.

Thinking about his daughters again, they are all concubines, but the status of the Second Highness is much higher than Gu Jinxuan.

Originally, her daughter, as the only concubine who was pregnant with the only heir in the second room of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, could not only help Gu Jinxuan sit in the position of the prince, but her own future was also unlimited. It's not too much to say, if the child is born and becomes the son of the world in the future, or even the Marquis of Dingguo, will Qiao Jinwen's status be low?

But look at the present.

Qiao Jinwen was not only pressed by Qiao Ningdai, but also looked at Qiao Ningdai, who has now become eloquent and exquisite.

Sure enough, the identities are different, the people they come into contact with are different, and the changes are different.

Xue Tao still sighed in her heart, Old Madam Qiao had already brought the topic to Qiao Yixi.

"I heard that you went to the 'Wutong Pavilion' a while ago?"

Qiao Ningdai said without concealing it at all: "Yes, grandmother. Qiao Qiao returned to Jincheng a few days ago, and as a girl from Jincheng, her granddaughter was excited, so she found Qiao Qiao. The first is to ask Qiaoqiao about the current situation, contact feelings, and the second is to listen to the latest news in Jincheng. ”

"I didn't expect your relationship to be so good, Qiaoqiao's 'Wutong Pavilion' is not something ordinary people can enter." Old Madam Qiao said pointedly.

Qiao Ningdai smiled, "Grandmother, 'Wutong Pavilion' is not a sword mountain and a sea of fire, why can't ordinary people enter." You also know Qiao Qiao's situation in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, she doesn't guard the 'Wutong Pavilion', what else can she do? That is her last territory, and if she doesn't keep it, I'm afraid that she will lose her life in the end. Qiao Qiao is guarding against the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, guarding against outsiders, and her granddaughter is Qiao Qiao's sister, what does she have to guard against? ”

That's right, but it was very uncomfortable to hear Old Madam Qiao and Xue Tao's ears.

Qiao Lixi is guarding against outsiders, it is a person from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, Qiao Lixi does not let Qiao Jinwen enter the "Wutong Pavilion", does that mean that Qiao Jinwen is not only a person from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, but also an outsider?

Thinking of the different positions represented by Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai, as well as what Qiao Yixi had released before, Xue Tao began to worry about her daughter.

If His Royal Highness is defeated in this battle for succession, it will affect Gu Jinxuan, and Qiao Jinwen will also be affected.

His heart was heavy, but Xue Tao still kept a smile on his face, "This, the fourth aunt is going to talk about you." Fifth brother, since you have arrived at the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, why don't you go and see your third sister? ”

"Fourth aunt, you misunderstand your niece, it's not that your niece doesn't go to visit the third sister, but ......"

"And what?" Xue Tao had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

Qiao Ningdai said apologetically: "It's that my niece can't see the third sister at all." ”

"How so?"

Although she knew that her daughter would be disliked by the people of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion because she gave birth to a stillborn child, Qiao Jinwen was also a good concubine in the second room, and the master held the most profitable shop under the name of His Royal Highness, just for his own future, Gu Jinxuan couldn't do anything to Qiao Jinwen, so she didn't pay too much attention to Qiao Jinwen's side.

First, she can't be busy with the affairs of the Qiao family, and second, she owes her daughter a little bit after all.

But I didn't want to, I didn't ask Qiao Jinwen for a long time, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion couldn't accommodate her daughter!

Old Madam Qiao also had a gloomy face, but unlike Xue Tao, she was worried about the fourth room of the Qiao family.

"Grandmother, fourth aunt, you don't have to worry. The third sister is a good concubine in the second room, and she was once pregnant with an heir, Gu Erye also likes the third sister very much, and the third sister is fine. I said that I didn't see the third sister because I have a different position from the third sister at the moment, and I have to avoid it more in front of outsiders. ”
