Xiaotao saw Aunt Zhong leaving in a furious manner, so she hurried back to report to Chang Xi, "Ms. Chang, Aunt Zhong is gone."

Chang Xi was drinking tea and saw Xiao Tao smiling, so she teased, "Are you so happy that she's gone?"

"No, no." Xiao Tao replied dryly. Finally, thinking that she would have to rely on Chang Xi in the future, she said bluntly, "I, I'm just a little afraid of her."

Chang Xi crossed her hands and supported her chin, looking carefully at Xiao Tao's face that couldn't hide her worries. This kid still lacked too much experience, and she would have to suffer a lot in the future.

"Ms. Chang, is there something on my face?" Xiao Tao was so frightened by Chang Xi's sight that she couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

Chang Xi did not remind her that Xiao Tao and Aunt Zhong were two different types of people.

For Xiao Tao, only through real experience can one mature, and Aunt Zhong has been an old fairy for thousands of years. The reminder she just gave her was actually completely unnecessary. Give Aunt Zhong half a day, and she can turn around on her own.

When I turned a corner, I knew someone was doing something behind my back.

But she still had to sell Aunt Zhong a good deal, so that she could not only be wary of herself but also be convenient for her.

But for Xiaotao, this trick was useless.

Besides, she doesn't need someone by her side who needs her to give advice on everything. That would be too much trouble, so why shouldn't she do something with this time?

"I've finished my tea. Go and make me another bowl."

She illuminated the empty tea bowl.

Xiao Tao exclaimed. She didn't have much time to think about it at the moment and hurriedly went to make tea.

Chang Xi pushed the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus and crabapple cake a little further away. The cake was so sweet that she lost interest after a few bites. The ancient cakes had not undergone modern improvements, so they were not to her liking.

Xiaotao brought the tea and saw the cakes pushed aside. She had seen Mrs. Chang eating happily before. Did she not like it anymore?

However, she only thought about this in her heart and never dared to ask. She could see that Chang Xi would not answer her if she really asked.

Chang Xi took a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness in his mouth, and then lay half-ly on the Arhat bed again. The wound on his forehead had healed a lot, but for recuperation, it was best to clear his mind.

In order to have a good body, she could only slow down and slowly plan the next step.

Xiao Tao was picking up the embroidery with spring leaves and red leaves scattered aside. When she looked up, Mrs. Chang seemed to have fallen asleep. Then, she slowly sat on the footrest, picked up the needle and gently scratched her head.

, and slowly began to embroider.

Now that she can stay, her heart can finally settle down.

After leaving in a hurry, Grandma Zhong immediately found out who was behind her back, especially those women in charge who were the main suspects and who she had no dealings with.

Jiao Xing was the first one to be pulled out. Chun Ye and Hong Ye hated the instigator so much, how could she hide it? They told Aunt Zhong everything.

When Jiao Xing was called to see Aunt Zhong, she asked blankly, "What orders does Aunt Zhong have... Hey, what are you doing..."

Little did she know that the person who came to call her didn't say much to her, just tied her up and took her to see Aunt Zhong.

Where has Jiao Xing seen such a battle before? At this moment, her face turned pale with fright. She wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked. This time she couldn't help but shed tears.

Aunt Zhong looked at Jiao Xing who was thrown in and saw her lying on the ground struggling to get up. She stepped forward and grabbed her chin and asked coldly, "Who instigated you to go to Mrs. Chang's place to cause trouble?"

"No, there is no one..." Seeing Aunt Zhong like this, Jiao Xing subconsciously wanted to hide, but unfortunately her chin could not break away from Aunt Zhong's grip.

Aunt Zhong sneered, "Mrs. Ninth Young Master has gone. When I asked you to return to the Shi family with your dowry, it was you who took the initiative to stay and pray for your girl. You said you were afraid that no one would take care of your girl's memorial tablet. Fourth Madam

You are kind-hearted, and seeing how loyal you are, I am breaking the rules and allowing you to stay in Jie Mansion." Seeing Jiao Xing's expression change, she opened her chin and stood up slowly, "Do you know what you are selling yourself to?

Where is the deed?"

When she mentioned this, Jiao Xing's head drooped. When she insisted on staying in the Jie family to guard the memorial tablet of the eldest girl of the Shi family, the Shi family directly gave her deed of betrayal to the Jie family, so she is now considered a member of the Jie family.

Servants.

Seeing that Jiao Xing had finally settled her position, Grandma Zhong's expression softened a little, "Now you still refuse to tell me who asked you to trouble Mrs. Chang?"

"I just can't bear to see her take the place of our eldest girl." Jiao Xing raised her head and looked directly at Aunt Zhong this time, letting her see clearly the hatred for Chang San'e in her eyes, "What the hell is that Chang San'e?"

?Is she worthy of Master Jiu? How can she compare with our older girls?"

Aunt Zhong could see that her hatred was real, and her brows furrowed again, "She's just a virtuous wife..."

"Does she deserve to be Master Jiu's wife? Bah! She is just an illiterate country mud-legged person. I'm afraid that the smell of mud will stink Master Jiu..."

Aunt Zhong looked at Jiao Xing, who was getting angrier as she spoke. Her eyes were confused at first, but then she gradually became clear, "You like Master Jiu."

Jiao Xing was still scolding Chang Xi angrily, but after hearing Nanny Zhong's words, her face immediately turned red, and the scolding was silenced.

"I, I didn't..."

How could Grandma Zhong believe this dry denial?

The Jie family has always been merciless to maids who want to crawl into bed. The Jie family has always been heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy, and has particularly strict requirements for children and nephews. Moreover, the ancestral precepts also state that concubines are not allowed.

Of course, it would be a different matter if he was hooking up with his master in private without anyone finding out.

Qin, the fourth wife of her family, hates this kind of thing the most. Not only does she take the master seriously, but she also doesn't let go of the people who serve around her son.

"I will report this matter to Madam, and Madam will take matters into her own hands when the time comes."

When Jiao Xing saw Aunt Zhong turning around to leave, she hurriedly crawled to hug Aunt Zhong's legs, crying and begging, "Auntie, I... Although I admire Master Jiu, I know that I have a low status and will never

If you dare to have any wrongful thoughts, please don’t inform the madam..."

Aunt Zhong's heart did not waver in response to such begging. How could such a heartless maid still stay in the house?

"It's okay to keep such worries deep in your heart and no one knows about it. But you want to stir up trouble so that no one knows about it. So don't blame me for being cruel."

Kicking Jiao Xing away, she ignored her pleas and left without looking back.

Is the matter over with Jiao Xing?

No, Grandma Zhong continued to dig deeper, and finally she found the Grandma next to the Second Madam.

It was not a trivial matter when it involved the second lady Qian, so she quickly reported the matter to the fourth lady Qin.

The eldest wife of the Jie Mansion, Mrs. Sun, and the third wife, Mrs. Jiang, both took office with their husbands. Originally, it was the second wife, Mrs. Qian, who should be in charge of the imperial gift. However, Mrs. Qian came from a small family and was not liked by Mrs. Rong, the old lady.

, and finally the middle feed fell into the hands of the fourth lady Qin.

I wonder if Mr. Qian is willing?

She should not be willing to give in, at least that's what Qin thought. After listening to Aunt Zhong's story, her face was filled with dark clouds. Qian's hand was stretched too long.

Grandma Zhong looked at her master's expression and stood aside after speaking, not daring to say any more.

Madam Qin signaled the maid who was beating her legs to leave, and said angrily: "What on earth does Madam Qian want to do?"

Aunt Zhong couldn't answer this question. After all, she couldn't figure it out even if she tried hard. What's the benefit of the second wife's involvement? Then Chang San'e is just a pawn wife. She will leave when the time comes. It doesn't matter at all.

Even if he doesn't get in the way of other people, it's none of his business.

"Could it be that you want to use the old slave to attack Madam for her poor stewardship?" She replied speculatively.

And then take back the right to feed?

Mrs. Qin subconsciously thought so, and she suddenly felt even more angry. Mrs. Qin usually behaved calmly and calmly, but she didn't expect to be so treacherous.

Considering that the marriage for his son has already made his parents-in-law extremely dissatisfied, it is indeed a good time to take action.

"What a Qian. I underestimated her before..."

When she was furious, she suddenly heard the maid guarding the door outside reporting that the second lady was here.

Before Ms. Qin could stop the angry look on her face, Ms. Qian led someone to lift the curtain and come in.

If Qin's appearance is average, then Qian's appearance is much more remarkable.

When Mrs. Qin saw Mr. Qian's appearance, she realized that she had been so infatuated with Mr. Jie Er that she would not marry him. I heard that the quarrel had been going on for a long time before Mrs. Rong relented and allowed Mr. Qian to come in.

"What brought the second sister-in-law to my place today?"

When Mrs. Qian heard the strange voices of the four younger siblings, she was not upset at all. She still had a smile on her face and said, "Four younger siblings, don't be upset..."

"Who's angry?" Mrs. Qin's anger rose when she heard this, and she refused to admit that she was unhappy.

"Yes, yes, I'm not upset. It's my second sister-in-law who said the wrong thing." Qian also knew Qin's temperament very clearly and did not argue with her.

Qin was silent, Qian's words still made her unhappy.

Qian did not talk in circles, but ordered someone to tie up the nanny who always followed her and push her in. When she saw that Qin actually looked over, she spoke again, "I have nothing to do with the matter of the four brothers and sisters arranging a wife for Brother Jin.

I don’t agree with it, but I will definitely not ruin the affairs of my fourth younger brother and sister behind my back. However, someone took it upon themselves to take action and interfered behind my back. Now I have kidnapped him and handed him over to my fourth younger brother and sister.”

Mrs. Qin glanced at Aunt Zhong, who nodded, indicating that this was the one who was behind the scenes.

However, in Qin's view, Qian's move was abandoning the car to protect the handsome man. After all, if she didn't leave this time, she would definitely not give up easily.

"Second sister-in-law, are you trying to be a good person and make me a bad person?"

Qian's tone remained the same, "What do you think, my fourth brother and sister, I can't stop her? I've always dealt with the situation rather than the person. Since she did something wrong, she should be punished." After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Qin's answer.

Ms. Qin couldn't help but feel angry. This Ms. Qian loved this trick so much that she always felt like she had been punched in cotton.

She pointed at the nanny that Qian had kidnapped, and said to Aunt Zhong, "You handle this matter, and Shi's old maid, this time she will send it back to the Shi family together with the deed of betrayal, and we will solve the problem."

The small temple cannot accommodate this giant Buddha."

She has still not let go of the fact that the Shi family married their sick daughter into the family.

The absence of a maid in the Jie Mansion usually wouldn't attract anyone's attention, but Xiao Tao paid special attention to the matter of Jiao Xing.

As soon as she got the news, she ran back to find Chang Xi.
