Only when people are helpless and depressed can they see clearly how many people around them are true and how many are false.

At that time, she was infinitely beautiful, and others inevitably flattered her, and over time, she was accustomed to listening to pleasant words, and she became annoyed at the slightest dislike. When her temper came up, she was either scolded or punished, such as Qiaoci, if it weren't for the fact that when she was in distress, this girl never gave up on her from beginning to end, she didn't know that there was such a loyal girl around her.

It's a pity that she understood too late, and when she was a nobleman, she couldn't arrange a good family affair for Qiaoci, so that Qiaoci's life was delayed.

However, this girl never complained about her, and still served her with all her heart until she accompanied her through the most bitter days of her life.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhao's heart was full of emotion for a while, and she instructed Rouge: "Let Qiaoci come to me."

When Rouge heard this, her heart chuckled, and she said cautiously: "Miss, don't forget, Miss Qiaoci has to copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times before she can serve you, and it has only been less than a day, and it is estimated that half of them have not been copied yet."

Rouge also doesn't understand, he was punished yesterday, and he is going to see Qiaoci today, what does the eldest lady in front of her think, she is getting more and more incomprehensible, and she always feels that today's behavior is not quite the same as usual.

Jin Zhao looked at Rouge again, how could she have believed Rouge's words in her previous life, and ignored those who really treated her, while those who had ulterior motives for themselves thought it was for their own good, no wonder they would end up being used by others.

She looked at the rouge and said nonchalantly: "When you come to the house, didn't your mother teach you the rules, it's better not to ask more questions that shouldn't be."

Rouge looked stunned, and said in a panic: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the eldest lady is angry, and the slave and maid will go to find Miss Qiaoci."

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the house.

Jin Zhao shook his head secretly and looked up at the scene around him, his emotions were complicated.

It didn't take long for Rouge to bring Qiaoci with her.

"Miss, Miss Qiaoci is here." Because of what happened just now, Rouge stepped forward and whispered in his heart.

Jin Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at her, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can step back first." With that, his gaze moved from Rouge's body to Qiaoci's place.

Rouge knew that the eldest lady meant to take her away, but it wasn't usually like this, and she didn't know what to whisper to Qiaoci, so she wasn't allowed to be there. Although she was unwilling, as a slave, she did not dare to disobey the order of the eldest lady, which inevitably made the eldest lady unhappy again, and then responded: "Yes."

After Rouge left, only Jin Zhao and Qiao Ci were left in the house.

Qiao Ci knelt down and said, "The slave has seen the eldest lady."

Qiao Ci is two years older than Jin Zhao, and he is sixteen this year. It's not outstanding compared to the long, but it's a beautiful girl.

is such a loyal girl, who has been with her for half her life, and I don't know how Qiaoci lived the second half of her life after her death.

Jin Zhao was moved for a moment, and stepped forward to pull her up personally.

Obviously, Qiao Ci was taken aback by Jin Zhao's actions and hurriedly retracted his hand. She went to the Su family as a maid at the age of ten, and under the training of the mothers in the house, after being a maid in the house for a year, the eldest lady saw that she was diligent and diligent, so she pointed her to Jin Zhao and served Jin Zhao's daily life.

In addition to her, the maids around Jin Zhao also include Rouge and Qingwen, but she has served Jin Zhao the longest, and she has been serving Jin Zhao for five years.

Qiao Ci whispered: "Qiao Ci is just a lowly maid, and the eldest lady can't help it."

Jin Zhao's outstretched hand stiffened for a moment, then took it back and said to her, "Get up first."

The tone was much softer than when he had spoken to Rouge just now.

Qiao Ci hesitated for a moment, and finally got up from the ground and stood aside.

"I don't know if the eldest lady asked the slave to come over and ask about copying Buddhist scriptures? The slave is slow, and she only wrote thirty times in one night, and she has not yet reached the hundred times required by the eldest lady. Qiaoci lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes, like a child who had done something wrong, and said uneasily.

Hearing this, Jin Zhao's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, saying that Qiaoci had not slept all night.

Jin Zhao took a deep breath, looked at Qiao Ci again, and said, "You should raise your head."

Jin Zhao ordered, and Qiao Ci raised his head.

Seeing Qiao Ci's slightly tired eyes, Jin Zhao was a little distressed and said: "You stupid girl, I didn't urge you, you can copy slowly, who made you sleepless."

The tone inevitably sounded reproachful.

Qiao Ci pursed her lips and replied, "The slave just wants to finish copying as soon as possible, so that she can come and serve the eldest lady." At the end, he added, "This is the duty of a slave." ”

What a silly girl.

Jin Zhao casually put down the teacup and said to her, "No need to copy it anymore, the punishment will end here." Besides, she is also for my good, but I was overly angry for a while, and the punishment for you is indeed heavier. ”

Jin Zhao's words made Qiao Ci suddenly surprised in her heart, she had served the eldest lady for so many years, and she had never heard the eldest lady take the initiative to admit her mistakes, not to mention how could her own master and slave admit her mistakes, Qiao Ci even suspected that her ears had heard it wrong.

"Miss, don't say that, it's the slave who speaks quickly for a while, and doesn't think about it, which makes you angry, it's the slave's fault, and the eldest lady punishes the slave and maid as it should be, and the slave and maid are willing to accept the punishment." Qiao Ci said.

Jin Zhao knew that this girl had no strange intentions towards her, otherwise she would not have taken care of her and accompanied her when she was down, thus missing the rest of her life.

A person like Qiaoci who has good thoughts and is loyal should have been favored by God and should have relied on for the rest of his life, but for her, he delayed the happiness of his life.

Jin Zhao shook his head and said: "You can think so, I am naturally very pleased, okay, the matter of punishment, let's stop it, you don't have to copy it anymore when you go back." Seeing that Qiaoci's whole person was not in a good state, he said, "Look at you haven't slept this night, go back and have a good rest first, and when you make up for sleep, then come and accompany me to my mother's place to say goodbye." ”

Qiao Ci was surprised when she heard that Jin Zhao was going to the eldest lady, and said, "Why don't you go with you now?" The eldest lady would be very happy if she knew that the eldest lady had gone to ask for peace. ”

Jin Zhao looked at Qiaoci, who was inevitably a little excited in front of him, and subconsciously understood. In her previous life, she didn't often go to her mother to say goodbye, no wonder Qiaoci would be surprised when she heard her say this.

However, she has great respect for her mother, and this respect carries a sense of alienation and awe.

In her impression, her mother is a powerful woman, and the so-called powerful means that her mother is smart, as if she can see through everything, so in front of her mother, she seems to be a transparent person, and there are no secrets at all, and it is precisely because of this that she does not want to be too close to her mother.

Jin Zhao stopped his thoughts, waved his hand at Qiaoci, and said, "Go back and rest and come back."
