Chapter 29: Midnight Tryst

Seeing that Qiao Xinyu's face was still full of fright, Qiao Nianxi helplessly explained: "Yesterday, the Lin family hid needles on the brocade collar cloak that I was given, and those two red marks were drawn out, since she wanted me to be injured, then I will show her a little more serious injuries! ”

Qiao Nianxi said a few words calmly and relaxedly, as if the injury was not on her.

"The second aunt is kind on the face, but she is so ruthless behind her back, let's go to my grandmother to judge!"

Qiao Xinyu has a relatively straight temperament, hearing Qiao Nianxi say this, she exploded in an instant, and she was about to rush out when she pulled her, who knew that she didn't rush out, but she was dragged back by Qiao Nianxi.

"No one saw that it was the Lin family who hid the needle in the cloak, and you can't tell why you go, so you can ask your grandmother to make the decision, it's better to do it yourself." ”

Qiao Nianxi wiped the silver hairpin clean and put it back in the drawer, turned to look at the marks on his neck reflected in the bronze mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Aren't you looking for death when you do it with your second aunt?" Qiao Xinyu stared, her face full of disbelief.

The Lin family is virtuous and virtuous on weekdays, but this position of the housewife is not done for nothing, Qiao Nianxi just came back, and she is still a concubine, isn't it that the Lin family can pinch to death with a finger?

Seeing that Qiao Xinyu still didn't understand, Qiao Nianxi grinned, thinking to herself that looking at a very clever child, why couldn't he get around?

Stretched out his hand and patted Qiao Xinyu's head, a fine light flashed in Qiao Nianxi's eyes: "She dares to do it to me, why don't I dare to fight back?"

Qiao Xinyu still blinked, not understanding what kind of medicine Qiao Nianxi was selling in this gourd.

Qiao Nianxi didn't bother to explain, packed up her things, rearranged her clothes, and brought the gift she took out for the old lady last night, pulled Qiao Xinyu and walked out.

This time, Qiao Nianxi still only brought Chun's mother, and when she went out, she saw Bai Ke Baili's eyes with a hidden knife, and a sneer flicked out of her lips.

When they arrived at the old lady's Yanshou Courtyard, the Lu family of the courtyard and the Gao family of the third courtyard had already arrived, the two drank tea, chatted without a word, and a few maids stood on the side and waited closely, looking happy.

Qiao Nianxi walked in with Qiao Xinyu, and the moment she saw the old lady at the door, she obviously saw a stiff expression on her face, and then she became a little gloomy.

Consciousness paused for a moment, and then Qiao Nianxi walked in as if he didn't see it, and naturally saluted the old lady.

"Say hello to my grandmother!"

"Xinyu greets grandmother!"

The two of them spoke in unison, leaning down and lowering their eyebrows.

The old lady subconsciously pursed her lips, instinctively not wanting to deal with Qiao Nianxi, but there was Qiao Xinyu on the side, she snorted reluctantly, and waved her hand to let the two of them get up.

"Why is Xinyu late today?"

While speaking, the old lady waved her hand at Qiao Xinyu, although she deliberately kept her voice cold, but the doting on her face could not be concealed.

"It's late today!"

Qiao Xinyu said a word, blinked at Qiao Nianxi with a side face, turned her head and walked towards the old lady, and naturally stood beside her, squeezing Qiao Chuxi, who was originally standing next to the old lady, to the side.

Qiao Chuxi reluctantly moved, but she didn't speak, the wound on her head seemed to make her feel a little more peaceful, and she was unwilling but didn't dare to make another time.

"You!

The old lady stretched out her hand and poked Qiao Xinyu's head, and saw that Qiao Nianxi's unhappiness disappeared.

Qiao Nianxi stood on the side, quickly found the empty position of the Lin family, a wicked smile flashed in his eyes very quickly, and raised his head.

"The granddaughter should be filial to her grandmother when she comes back, but her grandmother is a noble person, and she can't get into her grandmother's eyes if she wants to come to ordinary things.

While speaking, Qiao Nianxi raised the brocade box in his hand upward.

The old lady was talking to Qiao Xinyu, and when she heard Qiao Nianxi's words, she couldn't help but pause, looked down at the brocade box in her hand, snorted indifferently, and didn't speak.

Looking at the brocade box is not a rare look, presumably it is just a hand-copied page, the Queen Mother's hand-copied she has, what's so strange about this?

Taking the look on the old lady's face into her eyes, Qiao Nianxi couldn't help but sneer in her heart, it was really exactly as she imagined! However, since she thought about it, what she took out would definitely not be what the old lady imagined!

"This set of meditation sutras was copied by the former ancestors, and it was engraved on the warm jade with a dark iron ice pick, and the handwriting was rendered with cinnabar, and reading it for a long time will have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind!"

While speaking, Qiao Nianxi opened the brocade box, a cold light flashed, and shook it in front of people, the old lady who was still disdainful just now was completely stunned, although she didn't see it clearly, but the warm jade light still surprised her.

"The third sister is standing too far away, and my grandmother can't see clearly!"

Qiao Xinyu saw that Qiao Nianxi had explained what she had said before she came in, and hurriedly spoke.

Qiao Nianxi was stunned for a moment, as if she was really reminded, she walked towards the old lady with her things, and when she passed by Lin's seat, her hand was under the brocade box, and no one saw what she did.

"Alas, this is a treasure of the Buddhist family!"

The thing was placed in front of her, and the old lady saw it clearly, and at the same time, her eyes were reflective, holding the hand-copied warm jade and calming her mind.

"The granddaughter knew that she had little qualifications and couldn't bear such a treasure, so she gave it to her grandmother first, and it was not considered that she had buried this treasure!"

Qiao Nianxi endured the disdain in her heart and smiled to cater to her.

However, looking at the old lady's reflection, Qiao Nianxi also seemed to understand Mrs. Wunian's good intentions, from that serious conversation, to these gifts, and finally the dagger, Mrs. Wunian didn't point it out, but they all helped her pave the way, and the original owner was not surrounded by people who pushed her into the abyss.

"The third sister only has her grandmother in her eyes, and no one else has any gifts!"

Qiao Xinyu pursed her lips and looked unhappy, but she didn't know that this sentence had bloomed another flower in the old lady's heart.

Qiao Nianxi didn't take anyone to heart, just thinking about her old woman alone, the old lady likes to make people think about it the most, the feeling of being held, and now looking at Qiao Nianxi again, there is no trace of unhappiness in her eyes, she is full of joy.

Qiao Chuxi looked at the side and gritted her teeth, originally a Qiao Xinyu was here, she would never be the old lady's favorite granddaughter, but now with another Qiao Nianxi, she was really squeezed into a shadowless place.

But just yesterday after being warned by the old lady, Qiao Chuxi didn't dare to talk nonsense now, only stood on the side and twisted his handkerchief, glaring at Qiao Nianxi angrily with his eyes.

The old lady only had the meditation sutra in her eyes now, and she didn't have time to look at Qiao Chuxi at all, so she only patted Qiao Xinyu's hand and said, "Look at your aggrieved little appearance! Your third sister is suffering outside, where do you get a gift?"

While speaking, the old lady turned her face to Mother Cui behind her and ordered: "When the third lady comes back, she can't be as plain as before, bring the pair of jasper jade bracelets in my box, and the girls still have to dress up." ”

After speaking, the old lady looked up at Qiao Nianxi, and felt more and more pleasing to the eye of this granddaughter.

However, the reward for the bracelet was not because the old lady was generous, but that the style and color were originally worn by the young woman, and being a favor was not the goal, subconsciously, the old lady guessed that Qiao Nianxi still had a treasure to keep.

"Thank you, Grandmother!"

Qiao Nianxi was not polite, and took the words as she spoke, and the moment she looked up, she saw Qiao Xinyu squeezing her eyes at her, and a smile appeared on her lips.

While speaking, the outside informed that Lin had arrived.

The old lady was stunned, and handed the warm jade meditation sutra to the auspicious beside her, for fear of being robbed, she was still smiling just now, but now she is up again.

"You're so early!"

Before anyone came in, Lin's voice arrived first, and the moment everyone turned their faces, they saw the maid lift the curtain, and Lin walked in with Qiao Chuying's support.

Seeing their mother and daughter's demeanor, the old lady's face sank a little more, and she said, "They come at this hour every day, where is it early?"

It's not that someone else is early, it's that you're late!

Lin Shi was stunned, and the forced smile instantly froze on his face.

"My mother also said that I came earlier, but I was afraid that I would disturb my grandmother too early, so I deliberately came late!"

Qiao Chuying saw Lin's face pulled, and hurriedly answered the conversation before she could speak.

The old lady snorted coldly, and reached out to take the first cup of tea handed by Ruyi: "Whether you take it to heart or not, you can see the little things, don't make some excuses!"

Poof!

Gao was drinking tea, listening to the old lady's words almost squirted, the old lady noticed the movement and glared at her, so frightened that she didn't dare to move anymore, but she still didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement in her heart, and she couldn't wait for the old lady's temper to be bigger, so she picked up her crutches and slammed it on Lin's body.

Lu Shi still sat in such a steady posture, occasionally looking up at Qiao Nianxi and Qiao Xinyu in front of the old lady, although she didn't understand what these two girls were plotting, but she was sure that something would happen, and she had to pay attention to these two girls at all times.

"If grandmother likes to get up early, let's come over earlier in the future, and grandmother will be the right and left. ”

Qiao Chuying dragged Lin to prevent her from speaking, and looked at the old lady with a smile as she spoke.

These words reached the old lady's heart, which made her very useful, nodded and took a shallow sip of tea, and the expression on her face eased a little.

Qiao Chuying looked up as she spoke, seeing that the old lady did not continue to dwell on the topic, and helped the Lin family to walk towards their seats.

The old lady squinted at them, and said no more, and when she saw that they had reached their place, the cup was broken again by her lips.

Everyone thought that Lin's matter had turned a page, but who thought that they hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief, but when they heard a "whoosh", Lin jumped up from the chair like an evil spirit!

"Poof......

The old lady was so frightened that she squirted out a sip of tea that she had just drunk, and at the same time her hand trembled, and the cup rose into the air, and she threw it out without seeing it clearly!

"Ahh

Another scream sounded, and Lin threw himself on the ground before he could stand firmly, and then there was a crisp sound of "pop", and the quilt thrown out by the old lady fell to the ground and shattered into many pieces.

For a while, the front hall was a mess!
