"No, you killed him!" Yu Meiniang didn't expect Qiao Ke to be so selfish, she stared at her viciously, as if she wanted to eat people, Qiao Ke was more and more frightened by the vicious eyes. Suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her: "Mother." I'm not intentional, I really aren't intentional. I don't want to be looked down upon, I'm so afraid, they all mock me, they all say that you gave birth to a lonely star, they say that bad luck will continue to follow me...... I don't... I don't want it, mother! I am also your own daughter, and you should be sorry for me! Mother! ”

Yu Meiniang's coquettish face was almost distorted. Teeth creaked: "You are my daughter." He is also my own son! How can you do it! She grabbed Joco's shoulders. Nails almost dug into her flesh.

Qiao Ke couldn't stand it anymore and shouted hysterically: "Mother, he's dead!" He's dead! I'm still alive! I am your only child, you have to think about me, I don't want to be pressed by Qiao Siwan all the time! Mother Wang looked at Qiao Ke in horror. Cover her mouth hard: "Second Miss, don't shout!" Don't shout! ”

At this moment, only a "bang" was heard, and the three people in the room were suddenly startled, and Yu Meiniang's eyes shouted fiercely: "Who! ”

The back of the curtain. The nurse Gao fell to the ground with a pale face. The silver basin in his hand fell to the ground. Water was sprinkled all over the ground. Continuous flow to the skirt of the poppy.

Gao's horror was at its peak. She went to the quiet room to get water for the little master to wipe herself. When I came back, I heard such a conversation, it was simply overwhelming. She prostrated vigorously. Risking death, he said, "Madame, spare your life!" Madame spare her life! The slave and maid have not heard anything, and they have not heard anything. ”

That is to say, she has heard everything! Yu Meiniang and Wang's mother quickly exchanged a look, such a change. Let her wake up from the pain of losing her son all at once! She said coldly: "It's so small, you can't do anything!" The little master is very hot, and you are still annoyed to fetch another basin of water! “

Gao looked in horror at the direction of the cradle. The little master is dead. But Madame told her to wipe a dead child. She was so frightened in her heart that she couldn't even say a word, and she looked in horror like this. made Yu Meiniang make up her mind, and this Gao family heard everything. It's impossible to stay!

She glanced at Mother Wang, and Mother Wang immediately understood, and slowly got up from the ground, but her face returned to her usual indifferent dignity: "Madame asked you to fetch water, are you deaf!" “

Gao's is an agitator. I wanted to stand up but felt that my legs were weak and I couldn't stand up at all, so Wang's mother went up and kicked her hard. Gao ran out of the house with a crawl.

Mother Wang looked at Yu Meiniangsen's cold face and quickly followed.

Yu Meiniang and Wang's mother have been gone for a long time. Rika felt that she had the strength to stand up. She clenched what she was holding. My heart trembles! Do you really want to slander the eldest lady like this? And so it goes. "The eldest lady will be ruined for the rest of her life. … When she came out in a daze, she saw Wang Ma showing three mothers with frosty faces carrying a sack to the opposite side of the yard, she instinctively realized that something might have happened, and thought to herself. In her heart, she couldn't help herself. Quietly followed.

The back of Furui Courtyard is the most remote, and no one has come to it except for the cleaning of the Yahuan in the past.

Rika hid in the corner. Leaning against the pillars of the cloister. When she saw the formation in front of her, she opened her mouth wide in panic, unable to believe what she was seeing.

She caught a glimpse of the princess as she gestured to the men holding her. sack, hurried to a well in the middle of the yard. The sack looks like it's filled with people! Rika didn't guess wrong, because she soon heard the man in the sack screaming as he struggled: "Spread me, spread me!" I don't know anything! Madame spares her life—" But the voice was already weak and weary, as if it were a sick man.

Rika's eyes widened as she caught a glimpse of Wang Ma as she motioned for the men to carry the sack to the edge of the well. That's when it happened. Sacks. Relieved, Rika caught a glimpse of Gao's face at once. Gao seemed to be using all his strength. With both hands on the well, I want to get rid of it at the risk of death! Rika watched this scene in horror. His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move.

Wang's mother laughed. Pulling Gao's fingers away one by one on the well platform, several people risked their lives to push her into the well. Gao Di struggled desperately to survive. This horrific scene was deeply reflected in Rika's thoughts. She knows. She will never forget it in this life! Just listen to the sound of "boom". Gao was pushed in. Well. There was a last cry, and it was like a sharp knife, sharp and terrifying. Rika only felt all the blood rush to the top of her head. A ringing in my ears. A couple of mothers picked up a large rock from the wall. Throw large stones down the well, the well. There was a splash of boiling repercussions. Wang's mother was lying in the well. After looking at it for a moment, he nodded expressionlessly at the others. The four of them left quietly again......

It took a while for everything to be back in the middle of nowhere. Rika squatted on the ground. She shivered with fright, and when she tried to stand up, she realized that her skirt was soaked...... She was so scared that she was incontinent...

Furui Temple

Yu Meiniang sat with a gloomy face, and this sudden turn of events made her sad. But at the same time, it also gave her another motivation! She with Qiao Siwan. Fight to the death. Only one person will survive! Qiao Simeiniang is now eye-catching and cunning, strict in words and deeds, so that she has no sore spot to scratch. can only wait for her to be negligent and flawed, and she will be furious and kill her!

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, in order to bring down Qiao Siwan, she can only do things that go against the sky! Yu Meiniang breathed a long sigh of relief. The expression on his face became more and more gloomy! She bowed her head. looked at Qiao Ke, who was kneeling on the ground with tears rippling: "Don't cry!" You get up! …… Listen! Since you have caused a big disaster, don't cry anymore, you don't have the qualifications to shed tears! ”

Qiao Ke was still sobbing and choking, and Yu Meiniang gave her a kick hard. happened to kick her ribs, Qiao Ke screamed in shock, and when she saw Yu Meiniang's expression, she immediately stopped her mouth, and Yu Meiniang's face was extremely terrifying. It's like she wants to tear her bones and swallow her alive! "Go get the rouge on the table!"

"Mother." You! Jo didn't know what Yu Meiniang was going to do, and looked at her speechlessly.

"Go get it!" Yu Meiniang's voice became more and more tyrannical and severe.

Qiao Ke was startled, and quickly stood up and ran over to get rouge. I didn't hold it steady and touched the corner of the table, but I didn't dare to cry out in pain, and walked to Yu Meiniang's side again, "Mother, rouge for you"

"Put this rouge on your brother's lips. On his face, his expression was so good-" Yu Meiniang looked at Qiao Ke coldly, and her eyes were even more terrifying than Shi Cai. Joe was too scared to be impossible. But they didn't dare to disobey. Mu Ran moved his legs. Walk towards the cradle. “。”

That's when it happened. Mother Wang entered the report and said, "Madam, everything is done. ”

"Done? Mother, you're not going to hand me over to my father for punishment, are you? Mother, I don't want it! Qiao Ke's expression changed, and the rouge box fell to the ground with a "click".

Yu Meiniang looked at her coldly: "Why did I give birth to you such a useless thing!" ”

Mother Wang sighed. Said to Qiao Ke: "Second Miss." You've got a lot of trouble this time. All of the suitable talents were heard by the nurse Gao. Will Madame still be able to save her life? ”

Joe Ke listened. His expression suddenly improved a lot. The two of them looked at them speechlessly. The house is in the middle of nowhere. She thought for a moment, fumbled and asked, "Mother." This rouge..."

Poppy looked at the direction of the cradle. Take your time. picked up the rouge box that had just fallen on the ground, and pushed Qiao Ke away heavily: "Get out to the side!" "Finished. She opened the box, evened the rouge herself, and smeared it on Qiao Hao, who was already extremely cold. ”

Qiao Ke saw that she had a gentle expression. Like a mother. On the contrary, my heart became more and more worried. This moment seemed to have passed for a long time, and it made her feel cold. Her legs were numb, and it wasn't until she finished wiping the rouge that she snorted coldly and said, "Make a plan, I'm going to invite all the ladies to come to Furui Courtyard in half a time!" ”

"Mother. What are you doing here? Joco was stunned.

Yu Meiniang didn't pay attention to her, but said to Wang's mother: "Don't forget, invite the eldest lady too!" ”

Qiao Ke was shocked in her heart, and a mystery vaguely appeared in her mind, and her face was sublime with a hint of joy. Yu Meiniang swept over with a sharp eye. She immediately lowered her head. Don't dare to say anything again...... The poppy changed her dress. took Qiao Ke back to the theater garden. Just after the play, she laughed and cheered loudly. and entrusted the people on the side to reward the pear orchard. The ladies caught a glimpse of her. Come and entertain. She - smiled in response. If you sit down and watch the play with everyone if you have nothing to do.

"Lovely. Why is the expression so pale. Lin Yuanrou looked at Qiao Ke strangely.

Qiao Ke jerked up, but saw Yu Meiniang's extremely cold eyes looking here. She shuddered inwardly, and forced herself to calm down: "I'm not very comfortable. "Glanced around. She asked softly, "Sister Rou." Where did my sister go? ”

Lin Yuanrou watched the play and followed. "I said I was going to plan a dinner later." She didn't notice that Qiao Ke's expression was getting paler, but there was a strange fire in his eyes.

Listen to the warm pavilion

Aunt Li presented Qiao Siwan with the dinner menu. Qiao Siwan looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so she nodded and said, "That's it." Aunt Lili. ”

Aunt Li had a smile on her face. "The eldest lady is polite, this is as it should be." said. smiled and led his mother away.

Qiao Siwan looked at her back and bowed. Silent for a long time.

Ruby looked at her and was fascinated. Asked softly, "Miss." What's wrong with you? ”

Qiao Siwan was stunned. Then he said, "I'm thinking." When did Rika come back, and what did she do... ”

"Miss, you're so tired. These things, the voice of the red jade that shouldn't have been worried about you carried a hint of sadness, "If the lady is still here, you don't know how much happier your life is, and you haven't been so exhausted as you are now."

Qiao Siwan's heart warmed, and her eyes moved slightly. Unexpectedly, he smiled lightly, and took the initiative to take Hongyu's hand. "No." It's best now. ”

"Miss," a trace of sorrow crossed Hongyu's face. "Now this lady is acting too viciously. When will she be able to spare us? ”

Leave them alone? Qiao Siwan laughed. This is no longer possible. She effortlessly sent two young and beautiful women to Qiao Li's side. For this alone, Yu Meiniang would not spare her lightly. Yu Meiniang is the father. I am a junior, with different identities, dignity and order. Although he hates her to the bone marrow, he can't do what he wants. Now although Yu Meiniang has failed with her grandmother's support and her father's love, she relies on Lin Wenyuan's support. She still stands firmly in the position of the matriarch. Although Qiao Li was very disgusted with her, he never had the intention of divorce his wife. She wanted to remove Yu Meiniang and began to cut off Lin Wenyuan's vine. With herself such a boudoir woman. wants to bring down Lin Wenyuan. It's like taking chestnuts in the fire, surviving in a desperate situation. It's a hard, thrilling road. I also need the help of the superiors...

"Ruby. You've been with me for so long. I should know my psychology, and now even if she is willing to let me go, can I let her go? Only by defeating her will my brother grow up safely. Qiao Siwan smiled lightly and looked into the distance. It's impossible to say finely. "For the sake of thinking, I will not take a step back!"

Hongyu looked at her for a moment, as if she was shocked: "Miss, Hongyu will not leave you alone." ”

"The most trusted people around me are only you and Mama." Qiao Siwan sighed, and the sigh was full of seriousness that Hongyu didn't understand......

After a long time, Qiao Siwan asked, "Hongyu." I'll leave it to you. Are you done? ”

Hongyu nodded and said, "The eldest lady is relieved, Hongyu has already done a stable job." ”

"Miss, Rika is back!" "She didn't know where she got her skirt wet." Now she's getting more clothes in the house! ”

"Got your skirt wet?" Qiao Siwan was slightly stunned. Yahuan saw that she was silent for a long time. Then he groped and asked again: "Miss?" ”

"Let her come to me after she has changed her clothes." Qiao Siwan came back to her senses and confessed.

Yahuan said goodbye in response, and Hongyu's face became suspicious: "I went to Madame's yard." How can a good one get a skirt wet? Look, miss—"

"There's a good reason for that." Qiao Siwan sighed softly. There seems to be a hidden worry, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

Wait for Rika to change her clothes. Hurriedly overbearing, Hongyu whispered, "Miss." The slave went out to guard the door," Qiao Siwan nodded. Lixiang was stunned, this was the eldest lady who was going to talk to her alone, she was in a pang in her heart, and she couldn't help but clench her sleeves. Hongyu stared at her coldly as she walked past Rika.

As soon as Li Xiang raised her head, she met Qiao Siwan's indifferent gaze, she involuntarily moved slightly, and knelt down towards Qiao Siwan: "Miss." ”

Qiao Siwan smiled: "Lixiang." Mother's side. I'm here. You're in a dilemma, and it's really hard for you to run back and forth. ”

Rika stared at the earth and whispered, "Why did Miss say that." This is what a slave or maid should do. ”

Qiao Siwan stood up. Slowly walked up to her and stood still, stretched out his hand and slowly lifted her chin, and sighed, "You..." "Sixteen." After a pause, he said: "At this age, you should have been released to match people, why didn't my mother let you out in a row." ”

That's because I know so much. How could Madame be so easily spared? Lixiang's face turned pale, and she smiled forcefully: "It's the slave maid who volunteered to serve his wife for a few more years." ”

Qiao Siwan had a smile on her face. I looked straight at her for a long time. The voice is soft. sighed. "You are such a gentle and lovely girl. If you stay in the backyard continuously, your mother will say that she will carry you as an aunt in the future, which is also a beautiful thing. ”

Rika's expression suddenly turned snow-white. She had seen the way Madame treated her aunt. She would rather die than be an aunt! Qiao Siwan seemed to see her psychology, and said lightly: "In my opinion, it is better to be an aunt in a big family than to be a lady in an ordinary family." Liberated, comfortable, and not to mention humble. Rika, are you right? ”

This is exactly what Rika looks forward to day and night, but none of this will happen, and Madame will not let herself go! Rika lowered her head, "The eldest lady laughed, and the slave didn't dare to think about it." ”

"Why don't you dare to think about it? You've always been a calm and coquettish person, and you're modern. I really want to cook you girl. You know, after my mother passed away, she left me a lot of belongings, which were kept in the hands of my grandmother, and only handed over to me in recent days, including the shopkeeper of a gold shop, who was looking for a lady with a clear and clean personality to be his only son's daughter-in-law, and asked someone to beg for the maid ring around me, you also know. I can't live without Ruby. Calamus is reckless again. Wenxiu is a little wooden, the big girl ring in this house. The smartest and smartest is you

Rika reacted improvised, and said in a daze: "You...... Are you going to marry a slave...? Shaking his head casually: "Miss said it was funny." Slaves. ”。 How can slaves and maids be worthy! ”

Qiao Siwan's eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, which made people dare not look directly, and she smiled slightly: "Since you came to my yard." That's what I said. Look at your cowering, self-pitying mind. How can I feel at ease that I will marry you? So how to be a housewife. How do you help your husband take care of the shop? You should have honed it earlier. Don't put me at ease. ”

Lixiang didn't seem to be convinced, and looked at Qiao Siwan in a daze, "Miss, do you really think so?" The corners of Qiao Siwan's mouth showed a bright smile, and said, "Let's plan a wedding dress earlier." ”

The pear fragrance is elated. I almost rejoiced. Qiao Siwan smiled, "Lixiang, when the time comes, I will have to add makeup to you." It's just..."

…… Friends don't porridge stepmother, the plot setting is to beat the stepmother to depression and then have the ability to talk about other things... Let's confront it, it's a chapter the next day, and you don't have to see your stepmother at the bottom.

"Just what?" Rika's face showed a hint of confusion.

Qiao Siwan smiled: "It's just that you are a mother's person, and I can't call the shots for you." ”

Rika was stunned for a moment and muttered, "The slave maid has already been given to Miss by Madame." “

Qiao Siwan was surprised. asked her rhetorically, "Did my mother really give you to me?" Do you think the same for yourself? ”

Rika immediately came to her senses, and called out in a lost voice: "Miss..."

Qiao Siwan asked her to get up. Sighed in a low voice, "I know." Niang Shi just asked you to go. It must have been asking you to do something, and it must have something to do with me. ”

Rika was scared out of a night sweat by this sentence. Qiao Siwan smiled, her eyes shining with gentle water: "I know that you have been with your mother for many years." The feelings are extraordinary, but now I am your master, and only I can decide your honor and disgrace and life or death. Pear. My mother, you should know more than I do. Once what she wants you to do is done, do you know what the result will be? She's not just going to kill you. Your family members also run away. ”

"Ma'am. The lady promised the slave. ”… If she says no, she will spare the slave." Rika couldn't help herself.

Qiao Siwan chuckled, "Silly lady, look at Qiuyue's situation." Once you don't have the price to exercise. You're worse off than her! ”

Lixiang's sweat trickled down, and her facial expression was almost all distorted, Qiao Siwan continued: "You risked your life to do things for her, you just made wedding clothes for others in vain!" Don't you wake up yet! ”

Rika's motivation in her mind was rolling dramatically. With Madame. Inside, the family can be preserved. But what about when it happens. Will he be killed like the Gao family? With the eldest lady. I don't know if she'll obey or not, at least...... At least there has never been a girl ring around the eldest lady who disappeared for a reason! Most importantly. If this bet wins. I can get out of touch with this kind of frightened day. Go inside and be the lady of the head! Such a seduction is actually too big! When the time comes, the family will only be blessed with their own ...... Rika's expression began to flicker, and the hesitation in her heart almost reached its peak. Qiao Siwan saw her like this. But he didn't urge, but said gently: "If you enter the Tingnuan Pavilion, others will think that you are my person." If something happens to me, the first person to die is you. Do you understand? ”

Lixiang suddenly became smart, lowered her head, her fingers trembled slightly, Qiao Siwan looked at her with a smile, and did not urge.

Rika was silent. Qiao Siwan said softly: "I have said everything that should be said, have you thought it through?"

Rika looked at her. Snow-white tears gradually appeared in her eyes, and a tear suddenly fell, and she took out the copper box from her sleeve with trembling hands. Hands dedicated to Qiao Siwan.

Qiao Siwan took the box from her. A chill crossed his eyes. The smile on his face was no different: "What is this?" ”

"Miss." Rika fell to her knees again. There was a hint of absoluteness on his face. "Before, Madame ordered the slave maid to come to listen to the warm pavilion, and the Wang's mother continued to pester the slave and maid, forcing the slave and maid to obey Madame's orders." She wrinkled her eyebrows. He said indignantly, "The slave is strong and refuses. When she saw that the situation was not good, she wanted to threaten her slave and maid relatives. Such a despicable skill. Who doesn't know her intentions! And today she took her slaves and maidservants again. handed the copper box to the slave maid, saying that it was placed in the eldest lady's diet, and the slave and maid were afraid that they would not be able to get out and inform the young lady of these conspiracies, so they made a convoluted decision. Now that the human and physical evidence is there, the eldest lady, you can report to the old lady and the master..."Pretending to be a collaborator? If she hadn't said this, Rika would have already done it. Qiao Siwan chuckled in her heart, but shook her head on her face: "Impossible." ”

Rika was stunned. Xuan said: "The slave is really happy to testify for the young lady!" ”

Testify? What can a handmaid and a bronze box mean? If Qiao Li had a heart, Yu Meiniang would have been abandoned long ago. Why is it still so beautiful today?

"Miss, if you bring down Madame, you will never be so wronged again."

Qiao Siwan chuckled softly. There was a faint self-deprecation in the laughter. When the world died in vain. Countless mania and edge, extreme coldness and hatred, are now displayed in the eyes of others. is a gentle, restrained, graceful, and tolerant Qiao Siwan, and her face is not wearing a headgear. It is no longer easy for anyone to see through her psychology. "If you were me, what would you do?" She asked with a smile.

"This—" Rika hesitated.

Qiao Siwan's eyes were full of intriguation. "Say it, I don't blame you at all. ”

Rika bit her lip: "Naturally, she bit the charge of Madame, so that she can no longer slander Miss!"

"On what charges are you biting her?" Qiao Siwan couldn't help laughing, "You are her personal maid." Kicked out for making a mistake. Will anyone believe what you say? ”

Rika was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "Then, then learn from the lady's appearance to deal with her..."

Qiao Siwan smiled and asked, "Now that her brother is the secretary of the military department, if she is plotted unknowingly, will he give up?" ”

"That. Then you see her slandering Miss step by step?! Rika still kept reading

Qiao Siwan looked at her, Lixiang was stunned, and couldn't help lowering her head, indeed, she was afraid of retaliation after betraying Madame, so she tried her best to give Madame a heavy blow.

Joe sighed softly and picked her up, "You can rest assured, I won't let people sinister you at will." ”

Lixiang only felt that the hands were as crystal clear as white porcelain. is like jade, but it shocks the people. She didn't expect to be seen through by Qiao Siwan so easily, and she couldn't help biting her lip. I didn't dare to say another word.

Qiao Siwan quickly returned to the garden with Lixiang and Hongyu. When passing by Qiao Ke's side, Qiao Siwan glanced at her casually. The other party did not raise his head as usual, and Qiao Siwan's heart sensitively noticed a little difference.

The play on the stage has been sung. The head of the class brought the post again and asked the ladies to order the play, and Yu Meiniang flipped it over. Some of them didn't work hard, and said lightly: "It's all these old dramas of Chen sesame and rotten grain." There is no new drama either. ”

Jiang Shi smiled: "Hearing you say this, don't you still have something new planned to summon your friends?" ”

Yu Meiniang made a fuss. There was a strange look on his face: "It is the second sister-in-law who is the most eye-catching." I will hide nothing from you! The ladies are tired from sitting for a long time, and not long ago I got a good painting, and I would like you to taste it. I wonder if you would like to move? Yu Meiniang said with a smile.

Mrs. Su was the first to respond: "Madame doesn't say that I can't feel it, but when I say it, I'm serious, I only feel a sore back, and it's good to get up and walk a few steps." ”

The smile on Jiang's face deepened by two points: "What kind of good things, you have to go to see it with our friends?" If you make your friends unhappy, I won't spare you! ”

Everyone laughed. but they all stood up and said they were going. Qiao Siwan smiled and said to Yu Meiniang: "Since I have a mother to greet all the ladies." Wan'er is at ease. Grandmother is still sick. Wan'er will come back first, and then she will come back later. As he spoke, he looked into Yu Meiniang's eyes. Yu Meiniang was slightly stunned, smiled casually, and said: "I know that you are filial, but you are not so anxious, and the guests will say goodbye later, wouldn't it be better for me to visit with you?" ”

“。”。” Qiao Siwan's face showed a little embarrassment, but a pair of beautiful eyes stared firmly at every expression of Yu Meiniang.

Yu Meiniang's face was quite calm. There was a kind of hole in his eyes. took Qiao Siwan's hand and said enthusiastically, "Okay, okay." The ladies here are all your elders, wouldn't it be a loss of honor for you to leave first? Come with us. Saying that, she glanced at Qiao Ke, but Qiao Ke lost her soul and didn't react at all, Mother Wang pushed Qiao Ke in moderation, and she woke up suddenly. Looking back at Wang's mother. There was an expression on his face that he didn't know why.

Spawning is a sludge that can't hold up to the wall! Yu Meiniang scolded secretly in her heart. The smile on his face deepened: "Ke'er, Wan'er is going to Shou'an Hall." ”

Qiao Ke is a spirit, and he can't take it off by himself. Said: "How can this be! After that, he immediately realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly rescued: "My sister hasn't seen Hao'er in the past few days, so let's go to Furui Courtyard with us." ”

Human feelings are most likely to flow between the eyebrows and eyes. Qiao Siwan surveyed the look and tone of their mother and daughter. In this brief conversation, I noticed a strange air.

Yu Meiniang was too enthusiastic, and Qiao Ke lost his soul. Wang's mother was uneasy. What is the reason for this? Rather, what is waiting for you in Furui Temple? Rika said. Yu Meiniang gave her the box of things in order to drug her diet, according to her guess, it should be used to confuse the mind, she had just sat down, they should also know that Li Xiang had not had a chance to do it, why was she so anxious? Or do they – they have changed their decision-making? She subconsciously glanced at Lixiang, but the other party also showed a blank look..."In just a moment, Qiao Siwan's mind had already turned countless motives, and finally it just turned into a faint smile: "Okay." Then I asked my mother to go first. ”

Arrived at Furui Temple. The girls had already planned a myriad of seats. It was neatly placed in the courtyard, and everyone sat down according to the order of seating. Yu Meiniang clapped her hands, and a maid entered with a delicate jasper teacup on a plate, and after putting tea leaves in each cup, she quickly carried the freshly boiled teapot into everyone's cup and burst into the boiling water. The dried tea leaves immediately made a fragmentary noise.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi smiled: "It's so careless to call us here." Even the tea leaves are brewed conveniently, what is the reason? ”

Yu Meiniang smiled: "The second sister-in-law doesn't know." This kind of tea should be freshly brewed! ”

That's when it happened. Mrs. Liao let out an exclamation, she pointed to the teacup and said, "Look at it! When everyone heard this, they all looked carefully into the teacup, but saw that the tea was as clear as amber, and what was even more amazing was that the courtyard was full of the fragrance of tea.

Mrs. Ke, the secretary of the ministry, has always picked apart. At this time, he also nodded and said, "It's the first time I've seen such tea." The aroma is overwhelming, the courtyard is full, and it is serious and strange. ”

Yu Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Ke, the fragrance is the right talent, you can smell it carefully." ”

Everyone heard it. When I was close to the teacup, the aroma changed. The aroma is the strongest. It's fragrant and mellow, but now it's a wisp of fragrance. It's like a hollow valley. It is so clear that it refreshes the people's spleen. I can't help but praise it.

Seeing the happy expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Meiniang turned her eyes sideways on Qiao Siwan's face, but saw her eyes shining at her. The smiling expression suddenly startled her heart, and she forced a smile to turn around. Rejected Qiao Ke and said, "Ke'er, go and take out the painting hanging in my mother's house for everyone to see." ”

Qiao Ke was stunned. reacted immediately, and entered the house with Wang's mother, and after a while. And he came out with a scroll in his heart. Yu Meiniang personally turned over the velvet-wrapped scroll, unwrapped the gold thread, and slowly spoke

"Isn't this - the original painting of Mr. Zhou Ming in the former pilgrimage "Linxi Tu"?" Jiang exclaimed. Stand up and look. I saw that the jagged temple on the picture was covered with a thin veil that imitated mist, and if it was hidden, the bottom was fine. The most flexible. The temple is surrounded by water. There is a boat floating in the water, and the hull of the boat is tilted, as if it is being hurriedly lifted, and it has the most sense of movement. From the short bridge through the bamboo path, through the mountain gate. Faintly visible. The temple is surrounded by a four-loop corridor on the right side. Drifting away, it is impossible to reach deeply. A bay of water gushes out of a deep stream. Flowing through the abrupt and colorful rocks, the pearl-like splash of water seems to make the viewer hear the sound of "ding dong".

Jiang Shi nodded and praised: "Mr. Zhou Ming's paintings are exquisite, but they are hard to find, and now there are only more than ten paintings in the world, most of which are hidden in the palace. Very few are homeless. But I don't want you to have it here. Everyone nodded when they heard this. Temporary envious eyes drifted towards Yu Meiniang.

Qiao Siwan hooked the corners of her lips, this painting is a treasure of her grandfather, but it fell into the hands of Yu Meiniang, but she has never seen her take it out in front of the public in the past ten years, I thought it was a cherished abnormality, and now that she has taken it out. There is an impossible truth to say.

After drinking tea and appreciating the paintings, Yu Meiniang said slowly: "I have another ordinary treasure in my hand." It's a red coral. It's three feet high, crystal clear, and wonderful. But you are happy today, so you will also take it out and browse it with your friends. ”

Everyone agreed. I think this coral grows on the bottom of the sea. Extremely hard to obtain, let alone a three-foot-tall red coral. It's even more ordinary. There is such a chance to see it. It's a beautiful thing, too.

Only Jiang's slight sideways eyes, Yu Meiniang, the sister-in-law, she thinks she knows best, usually the most stingy, especially the magic weapon that fell into her hands, she has always refused to show it easily, for fear of being taken away by others, why is it so modern today?

Yu Meiniang did not immediately ask others to pick it up, but suddenly asked, "Wan'er." This tea is precious, why don't you drink it? ”

Qiao Siwan glanced at the turquoise tea, smiled slightly, and said, "Naturally, I want to drink it." With that, she gently lifted the teacup and took a sip to her lips. He covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief again, and said with a smile: "What my mother said is that it is really a valuable tea" Yu Meiniang showed a smile on her face, this time, the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, and she was the most complacent.

She didn't know that when she touched her lips with a handkerchief, Qiao Siwan had quickly put that small one. The tea spat on the handkerchief, and then quickly put the handkerchief into his sleeve. This one is the lightest, and only the ability of Hongyu and Lixiang behind her can be seen.

Rika lowered her head, secretly glorifying herself that she didn't do what Madame said, the eldest lady was scheming, a person who had been wary of for a long time. And how can you be deceived?

"Kerr, go get the coral." Yu Meiniang deliberately called Qiao Ke's name, and Qiao Ke had returned to normal at this time. The face is delicate. "Mother, my daughter stumbled over a dumpling, and her knees were bruised."

This caused a burst of laughter from her friends, and a young lady who couldn't walk well. But the beauty intends to complain to her friends about her grievances. It was simply ridiculous, but Qiao Siwan didn't laugh, because she immediately realized that Qiao Ke had something to say. Sure enough, I heard her say, "This time, let's let my sister go." ”

Yu Meiniang took advantage of the situation. With a smile on his face, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll take a trip with all my might." Go to the boudoir and fetch my coral. ”

Qiao Siwan stood up. seemed to be embarrassed: "It's a pity that I haven't seen it in my mother's room before." I don't know where the baby is, did my mother put it away? Wouldn't it be a long time for you to wait in vain? “

Wang's mother was stunned when she heard this. Laugh quickly, "Ma'am." The coral is put away. The eldest lady is afraid that she will not be able to find it temporarily. ”

"Rika, you can go with the eldest lady." Yu Meiniang picked up the teacup. It seems to be said very casually.

This time. Qiao Siwan has to go too. If you don't go, you have to go.

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, and did not refuse. I just walked a few steps with Rika, but suddenly stood on my feet. He turned around and said with a smile: "Mother." Now the sun is just right. There's not a hint of wind, why don't you let your brother come out. I'll show you all the ladies here. Is it easy to get the wind when you get it and then hold it out again? Yu Meiniang was shocked. I almost thought that Qiao Siwan had seen through it all, and was suddenly shocked. Mother Wang quickly pulled her sleeve, and Yu Meiniang reacted at this time, and said with a far-fetched smile: "The child is thirsty to sleep, he should be asleep at this time." …”

Qiao Siwan's smile deepened: "Mother really feels sorry for my brother, it's just that we are tiptoeing." I won't quarrel with my brother. ”

Mrs. Liao has always been porridge Qiao Siwan, and she is more interested in making her a daughter-in-law. Naturally, I agree with this statement the most. Immediately smiled and said, "Yes, children can't be so delicate." Let's take it out and show it to my friends now. When he heard this, all others agreed.

Yu Meiniang was anxious. But she didn't dare to show anything on her face, and Qiao Siwan entered the boudoir alone. can blame her for Qiao Hao's infarction and death. It just so happens that she is too cunning. So alarmed. Strong and unwilling to go in alone, how can it be good! Yu Meiniang's heart churned for a while, and she almost changed color, Mother Wang gritted her teeth at this time, stood up and said: "Madam, everyone else is clumsy, don't hurt the little master, the old slave and the eldest lady go in together, take the little young master out." "The nurse Gao is dead. Now the rings in the house will also be removed, in case Qiao Siwan sees something wrong in the outer room. If you refuse to enter the boudoir, it will all go down the drain"... Between the lightning and flint, Yu Meiniang has already come to her senses. With a smile on his face, he said, "Then it's all up to you, Mom." ”

Mother Wang nodded and said with a smile: "The old slave knows. Please Madame peace of mind is the mouth" at this moment. She and Yu Meiniang had exchanged a look that only each other could understand. They all know that the final moment has come!

Yu Meiniang watched Qiao Siwan, Wang's mother, and Lixiang enter the house, and from her heart, this time she wanted Qiao Siwan to drink the medicine that confuses her senses, and she will be with Su Yulou, and then be noticed by everyone. At that time, Qiao Li had to expel this daughter who had broken the family style, but he didn't expect that something went wrong halfway, and Hao'er was really killed by Qiao Ke. "If it is found out that Qiao Hao died of infarction at that time. Joe Ke can't get out of it! For her sake, Yu Meiniang could only temporarily change her decision. will all be planted on Qiao Siwan's head. Take the opportunity to remove her! Fortunately, Rika is her own person. At that time, Mother Wang's unwavering words were Qiao Siwan who covered Hao'er, and her life would be over.

Jiang Shi did not know what to do. But he also smiled: "You are too spoiled by this child, where can you take it out and take a look and get sick from the wind?" ”

"This is the doctor's special care, and I can't help it!" Yu Meiniang looked at everyone in embarrassment and laughed dryly, "Besides." You know, there is another eldest young master in my family, and he has never been porridge. I don't take the child out. I also don't want him to look disgusted. Her face was full of embarrassment. vividly interprets the embarrassment of a stepmother.

Yu Meiniang is the smartest, she knows how to show weakness to win sympathy, and the temporary everyone is more or less sympathetic to her, and there are many people who are full of comfort: "Madame is already the best mother, the eldest young master is young and ignorant, and it will be fine in the future." ”

"You want me to say. Where to find a mother who is so virtuous and virtuous as Madame? Even my own mother is like this. This eldest young master is too difficult to raise. ”
