But even so, she didn't believe it in her heart, Wei Ziyuan also knew that just by her empty words, she would not let the eldest lady waver in Qiaoxiu's heart, but it planted a seed in her heart, and Wei Ziyuan wanted nothing more than that.

She nodded, and shook her head again, "Maybe Yuan'er thinks too much, don't worry about your mother, Sister Qiaoxiu has been by her mother's side for many years, and she is loyal to her mother, and maybe Sister Qiaoxiu is uncertain." ”

Although she said this, the eldest lady was jealous at the moment, and she couldn't arouse much interest, so she only reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, nodded, and didn't say much.

About half a cup of tea later, Mute brought Luwu here, and when Luwu heard that it was the tea that the third lady wanted to make with her, she couldn't help but make a few jokes, and then started to get it.

After drinking tea in the Silent Pavilion and chatting with the eldest lady for a few more words, Wei Ziyuan saw that it was getting late outside the window, so she got up and said goodbye, and the eldest lady did not do much to keep her, and followed her.

Wei Ziyuan took the two of them and walked back, and when they were walking to a rockery not far in front of Fenghua Garden, a person suddenly came out, and the person saw Wei Ziyuan coming here and nodded.

The corner of Wei Ziyuan's mouth pursed a smile of unknown meaning, and she nodded to the person, and the person turned around, and it was Qianming.

Wei Ziyuan silently counted the hours in her heart, silently counted to ten in her heart, stepped forward, and suddenly a person came in front of her, who was in too much of a hurry, and he didn't pay attention, and with a shout of "ah", he bumped into Wei Ziyuan's body. The conditioned reflex couldn't retract, and he fell to the ground with an "ouch" again.

Wei Ziyuan was already on guard, and immediately took a few steps back, and Qian Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Ziyuan from behind.

Linlang Baozhu was startled, and hurriedly ran up and down to see if Wei Ziyuan was injured.

Seeing that Wei Ziyuan was fine, Baozhu frowned, turned around, and looked at the person on the ground, but because the sky was too dark, he couldn't see it clearly, so he was angry, and yelled at the person on the ground with a black face, "Little hooves!" You don't have any eyes, do you? What are you doing in a panic? Collide with Miss, you can afford it! ”

When the man heard this, he was startled, and he knelt on the ground hurriedly, but his expression was not much panicked, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "It's the slave who is not good, and he collided with the young lady, and he should be punished." ”

When Baozhu heard this voice, how could he feel that this voice was so soothing? I was about to take a look, but I didn't think about it, when Wei Ziyuan behind him suddenly shouted, "Baozhu, stand down!" ”

"But, miss, she .....!" Baozhu pointed at the man, pouting.

"Stand down!" Wei Ziyuan ignored it, and still shouted.

Baozhu couldn't, so he had to glare at the man fiercely and retreat behind Wei Ziyuan.

Wei Ziyuan took the lantern in Linlang's hand on the side, took a step forward, and lifted it up slightly, and now everyone could see who the person on the ground was.

Isn't it Qiao Xiu who was sent by Wei Ziyuan to deliver the cloth?

A hint of understanding flashed in Wei Ziyuan's eyes, but there was a look of great surprise on her mouth, "Sister Qiaoxiu? She hurriedly put down the lantern and was about to go to embroider it, "What about you?" ”

Qiaoxiu refused to let herself, and hurriedly knelt back a little, but she refused to get up, and in the dark night, her face flashed a trace of panic.

Qiaoxiu's face flashed a trace of panic, like a ghost hidden in the night, silently, it gradually entered the hearts of the people, but unfortunately, she herself was unaware, forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, Qiaoxiu pulled out a smile, "It turned out to be Miss Three, I'm sorry Miss Three, the slave maid was anxious for a while, and collided with Miss Three, and asked Miss San to punish." Then he hung his head and did not speak.

"Sister Qiaoxiu is really joking, how can Yuan'er blame Sister Qiaoxiu, this is also Yuan'er's." Seeing this, Wei Ziyuan showed a smile on her face, and a pair of clear eyes flashed brightly in the dark night, as if she could burn everything in a spoon.

She spoke, her tone slightly puzzled, "However, why did Sister Qiaoxiu come back at this time?" Could it be that something is delayed? ”

Qiaoxiu heard that Wei Ziyuan seemed to be suspicious, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, but she didn't expect her to suddenly change her voice, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Wei Ziyuan's words, "Yes, a sister from the same township just came to me and delayed for a while, so I was in such a hurry to go back, I was afraid that I would be scolded by my wife." ”

The corners of Wei Ziyuan's mouth crossed a trace of disdain, but she smiled and said according to his words, "If something is delayed, it will be delayed, Sister Qiaoxiu doesn't have to be so reckless, I think my mother is not such an unreasonable person, so I scolded my sister because Sister Qiaoxiu delayed for a while." After that, he stepped forward, picked up Qiaoxiu, took advantage of Qiaoxiu's strength, and pretended to rub it with her, but his hand quietly stretched out into the sleeve pocket of Qiaoxiu, and said with a smile, "Besides, Sister Qiaoxiu is going to do things for Yuan'er, which delays time, and it is Yuan'er's fault, even if the mother is going to beat and scold her sister at that time, then Yuan'er is to blame." ”

Hearing Wei Ziyuan say this, Qiaoxiu knew that Wei Ziyuan must have been bluffed by her in her heart, her heart was slightly relaxed, her face became a little more natural, and she smiled gradually, "The third miss said that it was the duty of the slaves and maids to do things, where did it come from and not, the third miss said so, but the slaves and maids were going to be tormented." ”

Wei Ziyuan covered her mouth and smiled, "In this case, then my sister will leave quickly, it is inevitable that when the time comes, she will really be beaten and scolded by her mother and will not be affected by Yuan'er." With that, he gently pushed the back of the embroidery.

Qiaoxiu knew that Wei Ziyuan was laughing at this, so she smiled in her heart, and smiled, "Miss Xie San doesn't blame the slave, the slave will go back to Mrs. first, and wait for the next time, Qiaoxiu will come to the door to thank you." "Say goodbye and bow down.

Wei Ziyuan nodded with a smile and waved her hand, "Sister Qiaoxiu should go quickly, so as not to see Yuan'er." ”

Qiaoxiu listened, smiled, bowed again, and then turned around and left.

With an inexplicable smile on the corner of Wei Ziyuan's mouth, she watched Qiaoxiu's figure gradually fade away, the light in her eyes became more and more dazzling, and then she tilted her head slightly and turned a little behind her.

Behind him, Qianming understood, nodded, and walked to keep up with Qiaoxiu, but in a blink of an eye, he was gone.

Seeing this, Wei Ziyuan smiled even more on her face, only to see the Linlang Baozhu behind her shivering.

Turning around, Wei Ziyuan walked forward with the lantern, and Linlang Baozhu hurriedly followed.

Qiaoxiu was cautious all the way, turning around from time to time, she always felt that there seemed to be something behind her, but every time she turned around, she didn't find a trace of abnormality.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she was really thinking too much?

Shaking her head, she was about to step towards the old place, but suddenly her steps stopped, she had just sent a cloth to the third lady, but she had not gone back for such a long time, even if it was said that she was entangled with the third lady and delayed for a while, it was inevitably suspicious, and she still had to go back to the courtyard of the eldest lady first, and it was more appropriate to make the plan slip out.

Thinking like this, she turned her steps and turned into the courtyard of the eldest lady again.

As soon as she left, a person walked out of the darkness, looked in the direction where Qiaoxiu went, was silent for a while, and then followed again.

Qiaoxiu walked to the eldest lady and entered the inner room, where the eldest lady was about to rest, and silent was waiting on the side.

When the eldest lady saw Qiaoxiu lift the curtain and come in, she raised her eyes and glanced at her, but she didn't look like before, so she hurriedly called her forward to wait, and only asked lightly, "Are you back?" What did you do? How did it take so long? ”

The eldest lady was still thinking about what Wei Ziyuan said in her ear, and at this moment, she couldn't raise the enthusiasm and trust she had in her before.

Listening to the words of the eldest lady, Qiaoxiu couldn't help but tighten her heart, and then couldn't help but feel that she was too much of a soldier, and she was funny, but she said respectfully on her face, "When I came back just now, I happened to meet the third lady again, and the slave maid gave the third miss a ride, which was delayed for a while." ”

"Oh." The eldest lady listened, but responded lightly, but she still didn't ask Qiaoxiu to come forward to serve.

Qiaoxiu couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, what happened to the eldest lady today? In the past, I didn't see her and have to come forward to serve, but now.....
