4. Hit hard
Qiao Siwan nested in the small courtyard and waited for news, the forest was too remote, and it took more than two hours for the mother-in-law who looked like a dead fish to be discovered, but when asked who did it, the mother-in-law only said that she didn't know and didn't see it.
For several days, the people in the house talked about it, and it didn't take long for the woman to disappear from the house, and it is said that the lady felt that it was immoral and drove her out of the house.
And no one doubted her.
Let's just say, the boss is still a good person!
The injuries behind Qiao Siwan just looked terrifying, but in fact, they were all flesh wounds, and the medicine given by Jiang Chi was particularly effective, and it had begun to scab over in the past few days.
She didn't know that because she seemed to have a close relationship with Jiang Chi, she had been targeted by Yu Meiniang.
"Master, you have been in the barracks for the past few days, and you don't know what happened in the house, then Jiang Chi was obviously rescued by you from the bandits, you should be grateful to the master and do things for the master, but he always revolves around Siwan's girl, and even the subordinates start to talk."
Yu Meiniang pinched Qiao Li's shoulders with moderate strength, and she had to lead troops and deal with the affairs of the whole city, but in fact, Qiao Li was often not in the house.
What made her most angry was that she wanted to recruit him openly and secretly, but Jiang Chi actually refused to agree but didn't refuse, she just listened to the master for everything.
"What's going on?" Qiao Li was pinched very comfortably, patted Yu Meiniang's hand, and pulled her to sit down next to her.
She told Jiang Chi that the kitchen had instructed the kitchen to deliver food to the pair of sisters and brothers on time, and that she had reprimanded Xiangxing.
"The concubine is also the mother of two children, and she beat her for Siwan's good, and she didn't want her to suffer, but she was kind enough to treat her as a donkey's liver and lungs. Master, the concubine is wronged! ”
As he spoke, he leaned on Qiao Li's shoulder.
"This is indeed the girl's fault, and she doesn't need to send her anything in the future, just help me take care of Baozhu and Lin'er. As for Jiang Chi, I'll deal with it. ”
Qiao Li was reminded by Yu Meiniang and remembered that Qiao Siwan was already fourteen, and she was going to be in time next year, and it was time to talk about family affairs.
"Don't worry, sir, this matter will help Siwan see each other in the next few days." She lowered her eyes, hiding the ridicule in them.
Qiao Li called Jiang Chi to the study and asked, "It's been a few days since you entered the mansion, how are you adapting?" ”
"Don't hide it from the master, the villain is the first time to be a housekeeper, and he is a newcomer, if there is anything inappropriate, please point out and punish him."
What he said was true, without any exaggeration, which made Qiao Li satisfied.
As for the unpleasant look at the arrogance, Qiao Li believed that he would definitely be able to tame this wild horse and use it for himself.
"I heard that you've been getting close to the eldest lady lately?"
Jiang Chi's face did not change at all, "Back to the master, the villain is just a little blind to a few subordinates, if they are bullying the second lady and the little young master, the subordinates will do the same." ”
But in his heart, he thought: If it weren't for the girl's tight wrapping and always flattering and pitiful appearance that is not annoying, he would be lazy.
Qiao Li stared at him twice, nodded, and believed it, although he doted on Yu Meiniang, Qiao Li did not fully trust the person next to him, or he actually didn't believe anyone except himself.
"Siwan is fourteen, and Mrs. is preparing to choose a husband for her recently, after all, you are a subordinate, there is a difference between men and women, don't ruin your future because of such a trivial matter."
Qiao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, with a little fierce color, reminding Jiang Chi that he had his handle in his hands, and if he dared to be disloyal, he wouldn't mind ruining him.
Qiao Siwan sorted out the embroidery and prepared to sneak out of the house to sell it to the embroidery building, although their small courtyard was remote but close to the back door, so far no one had found it.
There was movement in the yard, she hurriedly hid the embroidery, and then Xiangxing brought people in.
"Eldest Miss, the second young master intends to hurt the little young master, and I also ask the eldest lady to come over."
Although the chicken soup that day was found by the housekeeper in time, Xiangxing didn't dare to tell Yu Meiniang that she was exempted from punishment, but she suspected that Qiao Siwan did it.
Except for her, there is no starving ghost reincarnated in the house, and even the master's meal dares to steal.
However, Qiao Siwan didn't pay attention to Xiang Xing's vicious eyes, and was completely attracted by what she said.
How could it be possible for a little bun to hurt a child less than two years old!
"What are you doing in a daze, the eldest lady has weak legs and can't walk, why don't you go and help the eldest lady!"
was so stunned, but was injured by Xiangxing's seizure.
"Don't touch me, I'll go by myself!" Qiao Siwan flicked her sleeves and stood up, didn't have time to pay attention to Xiangxing, walked out of the door and trotted.
Xiao Baozi is timid, except for her sister, everyone is afraid, how can she feel at ease when she falls into the hands of Yu Meiniang and Qiao Baozhu.
In the Wutong courtyard where Yu Meiniang lived, there were crying voices, including Qiao Siyuan and Qiao Baolin.
"You haven't eaten or what's the matter, beat me hard, in addition to stealing chickens and dogs, you dare to hurt my brother, if you don't beat him, I'm not afraid that I won't be called Qiao Baozhu!"
Hearing her command, the subordinate used even more force in his hand, and slapped Qiao Siyuan's face, and it didn't take long for the corners of his mouth to be bloodshot.
Qiao Siwan ran over and happened to see this scene, and her heart was full of pain, "Let go of my brother!" ”
pushed away the next person and snatched Qiao Siyuan over, and found that his cheeks were swollen.
"Set the eldest lady away, and continue to fight, Siwan, don't blame me, if it weren't for the fact that the subordinates found out that Siyuan had entered the Wutong Courtyard and almost threw Lin'er to the ground, my poor Lin'er might have died! This time it must be played! ”
Yu Meiniang patted her son who was almost out of breath crying on her hand, and she was afraid for a while when she thought of what she saw before.
If he hadn't found it early, Qiao Siyuan might have thrown Lin'er to the ground.
"Impossible, Siyuan won't do anything like that, don't fight!"
But this time, Yu Meiniang was determined to teach Qiao Siyuan a lesson, so she deliberately found a family member to pull Qiao Siwan to prevent her from having a chance to break free.
Seeing the slaps falling on Xiao Baozi's face one by one, Qiao Siwan had to kill people.
"You say no, no, no? Qiao Siwan, you really don't know your younger brother, not only is he stupid but he always wants to hurt people, I think you must have taught him, even she beat me together! ”
Qiao Siwan didn't have time to speak, and her mother-in-law's slap also fell on her face.
"My poor Lin'er, you are only two years old, they are so vicious, I am afraid that you will fight with that fool for the Qiao family's property, and they will kill you first! I won't be done with this matter until I give me an explanation! ”
Yu Meiniang looked at Xiangxing, "The person sent to call the master, why hasn't he come back yet, if he doesn't come back, Lin'er will be killed!" ”
The corners of Qiao Siwan's mouth raised a mocking smile, and then she was hit on her face again, and her tears were so painful that she had to flow out physiologically.
"You dead girl is still laughing, give me a hard beating! If something happens, I'll take care of everything! ”
With Yu Meiniang's promise, the mother-in-law used all her strength, and Qiao Siwan's face was swollen.
When he heard the news from the family, Qiao Li was taking Jiang Chi to meet guests in the restaurant, and immediately said goodbye to the other party and returned home.
Just waited out of the restaurant, but Qiao Li's steps slowed down and he was not so impatient.
"I wonder if the housekeeper has any opinion on this matter?"
Not long ago, I just asked him about Qiao Siwan, and when he asked like this, Jiang Chi didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
"The villain is just a subordinate, if there is no master to rescue him, he would have died in the hands of the bandits, and the matter between the eldest lady and the lady is a family matter, no matter how the master chooses to deal with it, it is correct."
Jiang Chi slowly followed behind Qiao Li, guarding his subordinate duties, although he helped Qiao Siwan's sister and brother before, it was not a transgression.
Qiao Li sighed, he didn't know what to think in his heart, he was very scheming.
"Madam, the master is back!"
"Master, this pair of sisters and brothers murdered Lin'er, master, you have to call the shots for Meiniang and Lin'er!" Yu Meiniang stumbled into Qiao Li's arms, crying pear blossoms with rain.
"Yes, Dad, it was the next person who saw him throw his younger brother to the ground, he is a fool who doesn't understand anything, he must have been taught by his sister! The scared younger brother is crying hoarsely! Qiao Baozhu followed and grabbed Qiao Li's other arm.
"Okay, I'll definitely handle this matter well, don't cry, I'll go see Lin'er first."
Qiao Li didn't even glance at Qiao Siwan, who had scattered hair and swollen cheeks in the corner, and Qiao Siyuan, who had fainted, and came out again after a while.
"Siwan, is what Mei Niang said true?"
Qiao Siwan met those eyes, and there was no warmth in them.
"Heh, Siyuan has been knocked unconscious, it's not what Erniang says, even if Siyuan is awake, he is not good at expressing it, even if you say anything, you don't believe it at all. I don't have anything to argue with. ”
Anyway, in Qiao Li's heart, Yu Meiniang is his wife, Qiao Baozhu and Qiao Baolin are his children, and he and Siyuan are nothing.
"What kind of attitude do you have, it's clear that you're a thief!" Qiao Baozhu said.
Qiao Siwan glanced at her contemptuously, "What is my attitude?" It's just what kind of people you say to what kind of people. ”
"You...... Dad, I don't care, if something happens to my brother, I will leave this house with my mother, so as not to be bullied, maybe this time it's my brother, next time it's me! Qiao Baozhu covered her face and cried.
"Okay, did I say I wouldn't punish her? Si Wan, you and Si Yuan disappointed me too much, I thought that I could reflect and repent by arranging you in a side hospital, but even a two-year-old child dared to poison him. ”
"Don't think that you can do anything wrong if you are a concubine, here in my Qiao Li, no matter how concubine, you are qualified to inherit Qiao's mansion."
"You will bring her to the ancestral hall and kneel, and no one will be allowed to bring food until she repents. As for the second young master, take him back to the side courtyard and find a doctor to come over. ”
The strange thing is that when Qiao Li ordered all this, the corner of his eye was looking at Jiang Chi, and he found that he was just standing in the corner and watching coldly, and he didn't react at all, even if he saw Qiao Siwan's pig-headed face being beaten.
"Get in!"
Qiao Siwan was pushed hard, fell to the ground, the door was closed, and her eyes darkened slightly.
There are many rows on the offering table in front of me, and the smell of sandalwood left over the years is eerie.
She got up and sat on the futon, feeling that this family was sick, her father was not like her father, let alone her stepmother.
