Chapter 11 The concubine wears a pink coat
Seeing her mention Old Madam Qiao, Mama Li's expression turned a little colder, a few days ago she was wrongly accused of being the murderer behind Qiao Mei's murder, if it weren't for Qi's bitter pleading, she wouldn't be able to stand here now!
Mama Li naturally understood the meaning of her words, and with a deliberate look of anger, she said, "Third Miss, your marriage is scheduled for the fifth day of the seventh month, although it is only mid-April, but no matter what, it should be put on the agenda, and the second lady personally went to the Eight Treasures Pavilion to choose a few headdresses. As she spoke, she took a larger brocade box from the mother-in-law in the back, "This is the wedding dress that Madame specially bought for you." β
After speaking, she actually put on that cold face and smiled: "The old slave is here to congratulate the third lady on finding such a good wishful husband as the fourth prince." β
Qiao Hui took the brocade box and watched them go away with a smile.
"Miss......" Lan'er sobbed and got up, with an obviously swollen palm print on her face.
The sun slowly rose overhead and fell on the tall osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and the bright sunlight shone through the branches on Qiao Hui's weak face.
"Lan'er, you've been with me for five years." There was a hint of impatience in her eyes, "I know that you are loyal to your aunt, but now you have to understand who is your master." β
Lan'er covered her face, and when she noticed the coldness in her words, she looked up in shock.
Qiao Hui looked into her eyes and warned her word by word: "By my side, when you offend people like this, there is no next time." β
Lan'er only suddenly felt that her throat was dry, and the pain in her cheeks disappeared faintly, and she was only inexplicably panicked, she quickly knelt down again, and her voice became hoarse: "Miss, don't get me wrong, my aunt gave you the slave maid, and the slave and maid were born to be your people, how dare you think about it." Saying that, she gave herself another palm, "Today is the slave who is confused, and the young lady is ...... in vain."
"Get up." Qiao Hui opened the brocade box, and the set of bright pastel embroidered thousand water skirts was exposed to the sun, which was very gaudy.
In an instant, Qiao Hui's face turned cold, and the brocade box and dress were thrown heavily on the ground.
Lan'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to get up.
β¦β¦
"What?"
"Mama Li, she sneered at the third sister, doesn't the second uncle care about his backyard?" Qiao Yu said with a strange face, "A slave maid dares to yell at the young lady?" If they were in my yard, my father would have sold them without my mother's words. β
Qiao Mei listened and stopped what he was doing.
Not long after Aunt Xu gave birth to her fifth son, Brother Qi, she was raised in her yard by the Qi family, and Aunt Xu went to beg Mrs. Qiao with tears in her eyes, and only then did she agree to let her move to the main courtyard of the second room alone. At that time, Qiao Hui was only eleven or twelve years old, and it was the time when she needed her mother's pity, but Aunt Xu left her behind.
Qiao Mei still remembers that in her previous life, after Qiao Hui borrowed the fourth prince to attach the fifth prince Xie Yu, she changed her name and surname to become the enviable side concubine in the fifth prince's mansion. It's just that at that time, she and Qi Xunzhang were not long married, and they lived in the Qi Mansion and didn't hear anything outside the window, but by chance Xie Yuzhi came to the mansion to discuss important matters, and he brought Qiao Hui here, and Qiao Mei only knew.
Thinking about her previous life, she couldn't help but resist it in her heart.
Qiao Mei glanced at her, and couldn't help patting Qiao Yu's head, "The little children's family, go and inquire about what these things are doing, don't say these words in the future." As she spoke, she stabbed two more stitches into the embroidery cage in her hand.
"Ah," Qiao Yu screamed, "Fourth sister, don't learn from my motherβhey, you're ...... The embroidered mandarin duck is really beautiful, but why is there only one? β
"This is the white crane ......" Qiao Mei took it back, a little annoyed. Although she was reborn with the memories of her previous life, whether it was then or now, the embroidery work can be described as tragic.
Really......

Jingyuan Hall.
"Old lady, second lady is here." Mama Zhao lowered her voice and said to the old lady who was sitting with her eyes closed.
Old Madam Qiao opened her eyes, with some doubts in her eyes, and asked, "Didn't you let her reflect in her own room?" β
Mama Zhao said: "The second lady said that she had something to tell you. β
"Let her in." Old Madam Qiao rubbed her eyebrows and said.
The Qi family who came in wore a blue pomegranate skirt, covered with a moon satin embroidered magnolia robe, which looked very noble, far from the shrew-like appearance when she quarreled with the second master before.
"Mother." Qi Shi stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea for Old Madam Qiao, brought it to her, and said sadly, "My daughter-in-law has already known that she was wrong, but Mama Li has been with me for more than ten years, I know it, she is definitely not someone who will harm Qingqing, don't be angry." β
"That's it!" People are as good as Mrs. Qiao, and when she looks like this, she knows that she has something, and she took the cup of tea and said directly, "You have asked me to come with you, what is the matter?" She paused, and then said, "Don't say Liang Bai again, which man doesn't have a confidante outside, he only accepted one Aunt Xu is already enough for your face." β
"You are a housewife, you should also be generous, you should think about giving birth to a son for your husband as soon as possible, what are you angry with those vulgar women all day long?"
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Qi clan clasped his hands, thought of what he was asking for, and shouted softly, "I came here today for my nephew, he called for the medal, and he will participate in the imperial examination in March next year, I want to find a place in the house for him to ......"
"Then it is to stay." Old Madam Qiao nodded, she likes to read the most, but unfortunately the few boys in the house are not reading materials, the eldest son is in the army, and the two younger ones have to be disciplined in the study hall to study peacefully...... As for the third son, after all, he is not his own flesh and blood......
Qi immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, mother!" I'll go and settle it. Saying goodbye to Old Madam Qiao, he hurried away.
Out of the gate of Jingyuan Hall, Mama Li was waiting there, and when she saw Qi Shi coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward: "How is Madame?" Should the young master be able to stay? β
Qi Shi didn't have Fang Cai's joy, he only nodded, remembering what Old Lady Fang Cai Qiao had taught her, and cursed in a low voice: "Old Qian Woman! β
