Chapter 4: Confrontation (2)

"It's okay, the fifth brother is still young." Qiao Mei smiled gently, "But Brother Qi is raised in the name of the main house after all, and the second aunt should take care of him more." ”

Listening to her words, Aunt Xu was at a loss again, and the corners of her eyes were glistening.

Aunt Xu's weakness is the only son of Erfang.

And the Qi family didn't care about Qiao Mei's words, and glared at Aunt Xu deadly, scolding the cheap maid in his heart!

Qiao Mei didn't care what their expressions were, and after meeting Mrs. Qiao, she sat next to Zhou under the surprised gaze of everyone.

Qiao Mei has been raised under the knees of Mrs. Qiao since she was a child, and she is not close to the Zhou family, although she is sensible, she also runs to Jingyuan Hall all day long, and she doesn't pay much attention to the Zhou family. Coupled with Zhou's always strong personality, although Zhou treats her better than her three brothers, Qiao Mei is not very appreciative.

However, last few days, Qiao Mei fell seriously ill and relied on Zhou and the people around him.

Everyone was a little surprised, but they could understand it. But the Qi family on the side looked at Qiao Mei's move, but couldn't help but sink his eyes.

When Zhou saw her coming, his eyes began to turn red again, his lips trembled and trembled, and he didn't even know how to place his hands.

Qiao Mei smiled softly at her, held her hand with his backhand, and called her "Mother." ”

Zhou's tears fell directly.

Jing Guogong looked at this daughter with some relief, after he came back, he heard that Old Lady Qiao Dao Qingqing was a lot more sensible, he thought that he was deliberately comforting him, but he didn't expect that he had really grown up.

Qiao Mei looked at Jing Guogong carefully, just like she remembered, heroic and sassy, but looking carefully, his eyebrows carried a warmth that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Her nose was a little sour, and she called him softly, "Daddy." ”

In her previous life, she always thought that Zhou's strength was not someone who understood her and understood her, and she always thought that Jing Guogong was indifferent and ruthless, and she didn't know how to care for her at all.

But later, the Zhou family splashed the palace with blood for her, and Jing Guogong heard that she was humiliated by Qi Medal and slashed Qi Mansion with a knife...... Later, the Jingguo Mansion was named a collaborator and treason, and hundreds of people in the whole mansion suffered, but she was trapped in the Qi Mansion and couldn't even see her family for the last time......

Thinking of the past, Qiao Mei couldn't help but feel a palpitation in her heart, she blinked vigorously, trying to force the tears not to fall, but she couldn't hold back, so she had to throw herself into Zhou's arms and sobbed quietly.

This frightened Zhou, wiped the tears from his eyes, and hurriedly hugged her, patted his daughter's back unskillfully, and coaxed her in his mouth: "Qingqing, Qingqing, don't cry, my mother is here ......"

Jing Guogong also frowned deeply.

It seems that Qingqing has indeed been wronged this time.

Qi came out to speak: "Why are you crying?" It's a great thing that the eldest brother has just returned home! Qingqing came over to show her aunt. ”

She said this deliberately intimately, as if she was Qiao Mei's biological mother, but there was a hint of blaming Qiao Mei between her words.

Zhou's heart was blocked, in the past, Qingqing was indeed the most sticky to her second brother and sister.

Seeing that his wife was unhappy, Jing Guogong's expression also turned cold, and he said straightly: "Qingqing has Lan Ying in pain, and the second brother and sister are afraid that they have overstepped!" ”

Old Madam Qiao was also a little displeased.

She can see these little tricks of the Qi family clearly, if it weren't for the fact that the Qi family's mother family had a fifth prince, how could she endure the Qi family marrying for more than ten years without children, and often go to the head of the eldest daughter-in-law?

And she didn't like the Qi family at the beginning, if it weren't for the second son who wanted to marry, she would definitely not let this kind of woman with a foxy face pass through the door!

Seeing that his mother and eldest brother's faces were not very good, the second master glared at Qi's family, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "What the eldest brother said is that she is just quick to talk and doesn't know the severity, I will definitely discipline me well when I go back!" ”

Qi Shi looked at the second old man's groveling appearance, his beautiful face was slightly distorted, his hands couldn't help but clench, and secretly said that he was really useless, she hated it in her heart, but she couldn't attack it under the public.

Qiao Mei had slowly calmed down, she cried so much that Zhou's heart was about to break, and she wiped her tears with a soft handkerchief.

Looking at Qi's angry face, Qiao Mei only felt that his previous life was really funny. How could he be deceived by this kind of person, and because of this, he was alienated from his biological mother who was really good to him.

-

The third room in the Jingguo Mansion has always had no status, and the third master, Qiao Liangyi, was not born to Mrs. Qiao, but by a maidservant.

So although the second master Qiao Liangbai has no achievements in the officialdom and is lustful, his treatment in the mansion is far better than that of the third master.

The third master has no status in the house, but he also ends up quiet, he and the third lady Qu are very affectionate, although Qu only gave birth to a daughter for him, he has never had a full house of concubines.

This is much better than her second uncle. Qiao Mei thought about it, and casually pinched a fingernail-sized pearl, the white and translucent blue pearl lay in her white palm, indescribably beautiful.

This kind of color pearl is a unique treasure in northern Xinjiang, since the year before last the prince led the troops in northern Xinjiang, so that it was sincere to obey the south, there is this kind of pearl in the tribute every year.

But there is only one tribute per year.

There is enough box for Qiao Mei here, and the weight is heavy.

After Qiao Mei was good, the palace rewarded a lot of things down, silk and satin, and boxes of precious utensils were carried to the mansion one after another, and the father-in-law who came over was a celebrity around him today.

Old Madam Qiao laughed so much that she couldn't open her eyes.

His Majesty has always cared for her niece.

The Zhou family is also very happy, but it is not because of the glory that Qiao Mei brought to the house. But since Qiao Mei fell ill, Qiao Mei has become more and more intimate with her.

At this time, Zhou Shi took her hand, and saw that she could look at a pearl for a long time, and looked heartless, and couldn't help but hate her: "Your Majesty treats you so well, it is not necessarily a good thing." After a pause, she pondered again, "Now that the prince is approaching the year of the weak crown, I am afraid that the spring banquet next year will be the hostess of the East Palace." ”

Although Zhou is a woman, she also estimates the emperor's thoughts, but after entering the East Palace, she will fight with jackals, and she categorically does not want to see her daughter's good youth buried in the deep palace.

Zhou looked at Qiao Mei's eyes with a little more sorrow.

Hearing her words, Qiao Mei was a little stunned.

Nowadays, the prince is particularly important, and he also treats the Jingguo Mansion preferentially.

However, the Jingguo Mansion is intertwined, and the second room Qi family is the mother family of the five princes, although the Jingguo Mansion has always supported the prince's faction, it is inevitable that there will be no accidents......

And the best way is to get married.
