The carriage went all the way to Shuizi Street, and Xi'er tried to wipe the blood on her face with a handkerchief, but the blood had already dried up, red and black, and her face was even paler.

The inside of the enclosed carriage was somewhat dim, with only layers of faint light shining through the curtains. She sat stiffly in the corner of the carriage, pursed her lips without saying a word, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were sinking and undulating with unknown emotions, eerie and terrifying, and inexplicably making people tremble.

Xi'er pressed her breath and gently leaned her body against the wall of the car, such a golden Jiaojiao made her feel familiar and unfamiliar.

The last time my own lady had this kind of look was a long, long time ago......

She was sold to the Jin family as a maid at the age of six, and when she was first sent to serve the young lady, Jin Jiaojiao was no different from now - gloomy, withdrawn, and locked in a dark corner of the room alone.

At that time, the only girl who could talk to Jin Jiaojiao was another girl, that is, Leshu.

When Xi'er first arrived in Jinfu, she often felt lonely because she couldn't fit in with Jin Jiaojiao and Leshu, and the idea of secretly escaping came out of her young brain. Fortunately, Liu's mother took care of her very much, and told her that the young lady was so sad because she had just lost her mother that she became so unpleasant.

Xi'er is an orphan who doesn't understand the meaning of a mother to a child, and she thinks that maybe her mother is as important as food, and whenever she lives on the street and goes hungry, she will be so sad and depressed that she can't live anymore.

So Xi'er always left her favorite food, and then secretly gave it to Jin Jiaojiao in her own way.

For example, hidden in her quilt, under the pillow, in the desk storage box......

The consequence of this incident is that it didn't take long for the rat plague in the young lady's room, and Jin Jiaojiao was also angry with this Xi'er like Hanako for the first time, and on the other hand, she admired her perseverance from the bottom of her heart.

Later, the young lady gradually had a smile on her face, and the three of them became friends and grew up happily together in the Golden Mansion.

"Why do you think she?"

Xi'er's distant thoughts were pulled back by Jin Jiaojiao's abrupt question, she pondered for a moment, and comforted awkwardly: "Miss, maybe someone else did it, Sister Leshu may not know anything, or maybe ......" can't make it up, as early as when Yan's mother first entered Beijing, Leshu's abnormality had already begun to appear, but they didn't take it to heart.

Jin Jiaojiao smiled, "The key to the contract box is in her hand, and the hiding location of the box is only known to me and her, not even you and Mother Liu." "Maybe these contracts ran away on their own legs, and they rubbed and pasted them on the wall?" ”

The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes.

"Xi'er, you probably don't know, Leshu's mother is my mother's maid, and she and I met when we were still in our respective wombs, and later experienced the pain of losing our mother together."

Jin Jiaojiao's calm statement was filled with strong emotions, like the lava flowing under a sleeping volcano, ready to move.

She said, "You and she mean different things to me. There was an imperceptible tremor in the tone.

Jin Jiaojiao regards Leshu as family, even if Jin Jiaojiao doesn't say this, Xi'er knows it in her heart. It's not that she hasn't been jealous, but as she gets older, she understands that this is human nature, not to mention that the young lady has always been flat in water. There are food and drink, no need to eat and sleep, unclothed, and beautiful friends like Miss, kind elders like Liu's mother, and the head of the family like Jin Ye, what is not satisfied?

Contentment.

"Not everyone knows how to be content," Jin Jiaojiao looked at Xi'er's well-behaved eyebrows, asked her rationally, and seemed to say to herself, "Insatiable greed is human nature, right?" ”

Xi'er's usual clever energy that can speak well fell off the chain at this critical juncture, and she racked her brains and couldn't think of any big reason to comfort Jin Jiaojiao, who was on the wrong side of the sword at the moment.

The coachman "hooped", and the carriage swayed and stopped at the gate of the Jin Mansion, and she didn't need to think about it now.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, Liu's mother, who was guarding the door, greeted her, and she was first startled by Jin Jiaojiao's embarrassed appearance, and before she could speak, Jin Jiaojiao had already strode past her and went straight to the house.

She's going to go to Leshu to ask what happened.

The huge Liu Ma couldn't keep up with her steps at all, and trotted behind Jin Jiaojiao, as if she had something to say, and the fat all over her body jumped up and down, looking hard and laborious.

Xi'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she grabbed Liu's mother's arm and used a lot of strength to pull her forward body.

Asked: "Mama Liu, where is Leshu?" ”

"I was just about to tell the young lady, Leshu's girl packed up her bags and left the house early in the morning. I didn't say anything when I asked her where she went, but I just told me to leave it alone, you said that I was not at ease, so I sent the little maid to follow her secretly all the way, all the way to the Yan family, and the little maid never came out after seeing her go in. Mother Liu said: "Did Miss send her to Yan's house to do errands or what?" ”

The Yan family?

Jin Jiaojiao stopped abruptly, "She is running fast", and then turned her head and walked out of the house.

Mother Liu saw her coming in and out for a while, and she didn't know why at all, so she took a big breath and pulled Xi'er and asked, "Why is there blood on Miss's body, what happened?" What's going on with Leshu? Didn't you say that the head of the house came back today? ”

Xi'er was also in a hurry, and she couldn't explain to Liu's mother one by one for a while, so she just said that she would wait for them to come back, so she ran out of the house quickly, chasing Jin Jiaojiao to the Yan family.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu's mother quickly called a few family members to follow them.

The Yan family closed the door and disappeared, and the little maid knocked on the door of the half-pillar incense, but no one paid attention.

Jin Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and said lightly: "Don't knock, find someone to smash the door"

Several family members listened to the order, picked up the big stone on the side of the road and threw it on the gate, the Yan family couldn't sit still, and after a while, they took the initiative to open the door from the inside.

Not long after Yan Huaizhen got off duty, he didn't have time to change his official uniform, and walked out of it angrily.

"Trespassing on the official residence, you are so bold, aren't you afraid that I will sue the yamen to punish you for your crimes?"

Jin Jiaojiao's voice came from the carriage, and she couldn't hear any emotion, "Lord Yan is afraid that he has forgotten, although this house was given to your Yan family, the deed has not yet been transferred, it is still my Jin family's property, I smashed my door, what is the matter with you?" ”

"You ......" Yan Huaizhen said angrily, "How are you doing?" Miss Jin is now infamous, and she still has the face to come to the door? ”

"Why is Lord Yan so alarmed, are you afraid that I will miss the beautiful marriage between you and the Ouyang family?" Jin Jiaojiao sneered, her voice was still not in a hurry: "I admit to losing a move in chess, and it is a sure thing for you and me to withdraw from the marriage, Lord Yan can put his heart in his stomach." ”

The environment of this house is quiet and secluded, and it is not always possible for people to pass by on weekdays.

Jin Jiaojiao didn't bother to look at the faces of the Yan family, and continued to count the pros and cons on the carriage: "My father is about to return to Beijing, you know about this, why can my father get out of danger so easily, officialdom, Lord Yan, you know much better than me, if you still want to have a smooth career." ”

She suddenly accentuated her tone, "Just hand over Leshu, I just need Leshu today." ”

Yan Huaizhen naturally knew that Jin Wen had been acquitted, but he didn't expect the Yan family to have such a hard backstage in the Criminal Department. It was precisely because of this that he offended the Ouyang family, and then became angry with him, making him walk on thin ice in the Hanlin Academy.

He hated it so much, hated that he had no eyes and didn't see through Jin Jiaojiao's insidious and cunning nature; hated himself for being mistaken by gold, silver and beauty for a while, showing some burial career.

But there is no endless road, just when he was at a loss, the golden Jiaojiao's personal maid Leshu automatically presented Jin Jiaojiao's boudoir handle. He never expected that the dignified Miss Jin would work so hard to marry Jinshi, and resort to such a subordinate method as subsidizing Qinghan Shizi in exchange for marriage.

In the eyes of the richest woman, Miss Jin, she can use poverty to control others. And deceived him by similar means, and the hypocrisy between them was nothing more than a gift for the rights she wanted.

That's all......

"Jin Jiaojiao, you are too confident."

Yan Huaizhen also hated her posture of a victor who was obviously defeated, but still arrogantly thought that she could control all the winners.

"You're not handing it over, are you?" Jin Jiaojiao ran out of patience.

Yan Huaizhen stood upright in place, his green tendons looming, and his heart swayed.

"Adult"

At this time, a woman's call suddenly came from behind him, Yan Huaizhen turned around, and saw Le Shu standing at the door at some point.

"Adults don't have to be embarrassed, I'll go with Miss, this matter is that I can't help Miss first, Miss wants to beat or scold, I don't complain."

"Leshu, you don't have to ......" Yan Huaizhen affectionately took Leshu's hands, "She doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

A question came from inside the carriage, "Do you want to beat or scold?" ”

Jin Jiaojiao said arrogantly: "Leshu, what kind of person I am, don't you know best?" ”

Le Shu was stunned, and her heart was stunned, she had beaten her drunkard father to a cripple, and in the end there was only half a life left for Jin Jiaojiao. For the subordinates who betrayed themselves, how could it be as simple as beating and scolding?

As long as Jin Jiaojiao wants to, she has a hundred ways to kill herself. Yan Huaizhen's short-term shelter was of no avail.

"If you want to kill or chop, let the young lady dispose of it." Le Shu's body fell weakly, and his knees knelt straight on the bluestone slab ground.

The Jin Mansion family dragged up Le Shu on the ground, but Yan Huaizhen stopped him, and the two performed a deep love and righteousness on the spot.

Jin Jiaojiao was not in the mood to appreciate it, and said: "Lord Yan, this is my Jinfu family matter, I advise your noble hand not to stretch too long." ”

In the end, Leshu was escorted behind the carriage and left the Yan family's territory.

She was taken to an extremely remote alley, and the exit of the alley had been guarded by the family.

When Jin Jiaojiao stepped out of the carriage, her eyes were not adapted to the sudden bright light, and she almost stumbled, she looked up at the sky, and she was in a trance for a while, and the last time she showed off her power at the side door of Ouyang's house, it was also so gorgeous in the sky. It's just that things are wrong now.

"Gu Leshu, you really make me ...... It's a complete defeat. Jin Jiaojiao stared at Leshu, whose face was like ashes, and unabashedly tore open her bloody wounds to force her to look directly.

Le Shu looked at Jin Jiaojiao who was embarrassed with a dull gaze, and her heart was also very sour.

"Say, give me a convincing reason, maybe I'll let you go." Jin Jiaojiao suddenly regained that calm and leisure.

"I just like Lord Yan."

"If you like him, you're going to stab me in the back? Are you going to step on my blood and crawl on him? ”

Unreasonable, what a bad reason!

Leshu argued: "I don't want to hurt Miss, but I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

looked at her round eyes with tears, looking innocent and innocent, but she had become a fierce god in this blue sky and white day.

It's ironic.

Xi'er said: "Leshu, the Jin family is so good to you, how long have you known that surnamed Yan, you actually hurt Miss for him, and you have to talk about conscience." ”

"What qualifications do you have to say that I am better to you than to me, of course you defend her like this"

Leshu turned to Xi'er, and suddenly changed her appearance, her eyes were fierce, "Don't you know when I don't know?" Your monthly salary is five taels more than mine, Miss Liu's mother, whenever there is any novelty to reward, which time is not the first time to think of you. ”

"Yes, the Jin family is very good to me, but it was my mother who bought it with her life, what I really want, you never ......"

A loud slap slapped directly into her fair face.
