Chang Xi didn't tell Xiao Tao more about the tricks involved. She was never good at being a teacher. After all, everyone has his or her own destiny.

After eating, she felt that her body had calmed down. She got up and walked around the house a few times as a way to digest her food. It was already dark at this time, and the room was still bright with candles. However, in ancient times, there was no entertainment at night, and it was usually early in the morning.

Will go to sleep.

Sure enough, Xiao Tao said from the side, "Ms. Chang, it's getting late, I'm going to make your bed right now."

In modern times, Chang Xi rarely goes to bed at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but first of all, she is doing as the Romans do, and secondly, she is still injured and needs more rest, so she nodded.

As for Mr. Jie Jiu, she didn't ask a word. Whether this person appeared or not didn't depend on her at the moment, so she put him aside for the time being and ignored him.

When the other two maids saw that Xiao Tao was actively looking for things to do, they did not stand aside and watch, but stepped forward to grab the work, so that Xiao Tao could not be left alone.

Chang Xi just watched with cold eyes and did not decide the lawsuit for them.

The three of them were busy working for more than half an hour, and then one of the maids took the opportunity to push Xiao Tao aside, stepped forward and smiled flatteringly, "Ms. Chang, the bed has been made, please rest."

The other one stepped forward to help Chang Xi go to the bed, and then whispered the news he knew to Chang Xi, "I heard that Master Jiu has gone out and will not be back in the short term." The implication is that tonight is the night.

Won't come over.

Hearing this, Chang Xi looked more at the maid who revealed the news to please her, and gave her a good look at the right time, "Oh, I don't know what to call the girl?"

"My name is Spring Leaf."

"Okay, I remember."

Chang Xi's good attitude gave Chunye a lot of confidence, and he immediately knew that he had scratched Chang Xi's itch, so he whispered everything he knew about Jiu Ye even more quietly.

Chang Xi's expression seemed lazy, but she was actually listening very seriously.

Gossip has the benefit of gossip. Often useful information is hidden in gossip.

For example, she learned that Master Jie Jiu's first wife was named Shi. She was also a lady from a scholarly family. The two of them had been engaged since they were children. Unfortunately, this Shi was weak and a medicine pot, but

The two families are family friends, so the marriage contract cannot be dissolved.

"I coughed up blood the night I got married, and the doctors were busy rescuing me all night long," Chunye said in a low voice, but spoke vividly, "Later on, my body and bones became worse and worse. I have been sick all the time, and I can't leave the house all year round.

I didn’t spend the night in her house, I stayed in the study in the front yard as usual..."

Chang Xi squinted her eyes slightly, she just married a daughter-in-law as a decoration, she couldn't help but sympathize with Master Xie Jiu a little.

Another maid reluctantly squeezed forward and spoke first, "Later, less than a year later, the ninth young lady passed away..."

Chang Xi refused to refuse anyone who came, glanced at the maid who was vying to give her gossip, and encouraged her to talk more.

The eldest maid thought she had won Chang Xi's "favor", so she pushed the angry Chunye aside, came close to Chang Xi, and started talking nonstop.

Chang Xi heard from her mouth that he knew that Jiuye's second wife, He, was weaker than the first wife, but the second wife was in good health. However, she had been suffering from spring and autumn since she got married.

, obviously also very puzzled by the fact that Jiuye likes it. After marrying him, he left it in the backyard and didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, this man went out to burn incense in the temple, but he was unlucky enough to encounter a heavy rain. On the way back, his carriage accidentally fell off a cliff and he died unexpectedly.

When he heard this, Chang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could smell a hint of conspiracy. After all, he was in the center of power in his previous life and had to deal with conspiracies and conspiracies a lot.

Chunye squeezed back with all his strength, "At that time, the Ninth Young Madam couldn't even find her body, and the He family was unwilling to give up. In the end, it was Master Ninth who came forward and the matter stopped..."

There must be something fishy here, Chang Xi thought, but it had nothing to do with her, so she naturally wouldn't delve into it. I'm afraid that Mr. Jie Jiu also knew it well, otherwise why wouldn't the He family make trouble again?

Naturally, there is no reason to cause trouble, so the Jie family can only handle He's death.

Finally it’s the third Zou’s turn to appear, and this one is even more bizarre.

"On the day of the wedding, the Ninth Young Madam brought not only her dowry servants, but also a group of monks and Taoist priests when she entered the house. The Zou family said at that time that this was to pray for the safety of their own girl. The monks and Taoist priests would do this for a hundred days.

If we consummate the marriage again, the couple will definitely be harmonious this time..."

Chang Xi was dumbfounded when he heard this this time. If the monks and Taoist priests are doing it together and are not afraid of confusing each other, then won't the method be effective?

The three wives of Jie Jiuye are really weirder than the last.

Obviously, this Zou family had more fun to watch, at least the two people gossiping in front of her couldn't help laughing.

Chunye smiled while gesticulating and continued, "I heard that the person who was waiting at the time said that the Ninth Young Madam had ten magical artifacts hung under the wedding dress she wore when she came in. They said it would take a hundred days to hang...

"

"That's not all. According to Sister Jiao Xing, the house was covered with yellow talismans. It was so smoky that it was like being in a Taoist temple. Master Jiu turned around and left in disgust without even entering the new house."

When Chang Xi heard the name Jiao Xing, her gentle hand immediately paused. She was everywhere.

What happened next?

Hearing Chang Xi's questioning, Chunye sighed and asked another maid to fill in, "Later I heard that the new house was haunted, and before it was even a hundred days old, the ninth young lady scared herself to death.

I heard that I couldn’t close my eyes when I died..."

Chang Xi sighed slightly. If this Zou had received the education of modern atheism, he would definitely not have listened to these feudal superstitions and killed himself. In the final analysis, it was ignorance that killed him.

Xie Jiuye's reputation became worse and worse every time, especially when he married the Zou family. The Zou family's actions were obviously aimed at Xie Jiuye's reputation of being a subjugator to his wife. However, such strict defense would inevitably lead to death in the end. The local wealthy family

He even dared not marry his own daughter into the Jie family.

Chang Xi yawned slightly, and Chun Ye and the other two people who were about to say more quickly stopped and waited for Chang Xi to change clothes, remove makeup, and lie down.

Xiao Tao, who was unable to speak at the side, couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she saw this situation. She still couldn't win against Chun Ye and the two. She lost when she chose the eldest maid to serve Mrs. Chang. Could it be that the opportunity is now in front of her?

Will she still be unable to catch it?

She couldn't help but clenched her hands, refusing to give in no matter what.

Chunye winked at her friend, who immediately understood and stepped forward to force Xiao Tao to go outside, not giving her a chance to wait in the inner room for the night.

Huh, they won't let Xiao Tao be squeezed away.

Chang Xi is well aware of what is happening outside, and Xiao Tao's good intentions may not be rewarded, as human nature is often like this.

"I don't like people keeping watch when I sleep at night. You all should go out."

"No, Mrs. Chang, I will sleep on the footrest, so that I can take care of you when you get up at night..."

Chunye hurriedly defended, this is the rule of a wealthy family.

Fuck the rules, Chang Xi doesn't accept this. She has always made up her mind, and no one can make her change her mind.

"go out!"

These two words carried an order from a superior, and Chunye was so frightened that she almost rolled off her pedals and fell to the ground. This time she no longer argued, but hurriedly stood up, subconsciously curtsied, and finally withdrew.

When she went outside, the cold wind of early summer blew, and she realized what stupid thing she had just done, and immediately rubbed her forehead in annoyance. Although she wanted to please Mrs. Chang, she never thought of treating her as a

Master.

"Why are you here?"

"Hongye, I was kicked out by Mrs. Chang."

"How could she?"

Hong Ye actually despised Mrs. Chang from the bottom of her heart, but she had done stupid things before, so she had to bow her head to please her temporarily. When she got the chance, she would definitely let Mrs. Chang taste her power.

Chunye shrugged, saying that he didn't know what the other party was thinking.

"A mean life is a mean life. Even if you are lucky, you will not enjoy it."

Hongye snorted coldly.

Chunye hurriedly grabbed the other person and nuzzled her lips towards Xiao Tao in the ear room, telling her not to bring trouble out of her mouth. That Xiao Tao was just a wallflower.

"What are you afraid of? It's just the two of us here." Hong Ye hated Xiao Tao who wanted to take her position, "Sooner or later, we have to get rid of her."

Chunye was noncommittal, fearing that Hongye would say the wrong thing and hurt herself, so she quickly pulled her away.

Chang Xi had a good sleep, and when she woke up the next day, she felt much more energetic than yesterday. As soon as she opened the red gauze curtain, she saw Xiao Tao coming in with water.

Seeing that she was awake, Xiao Tao quickly walked in and said, "Ms. Chang, you're awake. I just prepared the face wash." As she said this, she put down the copper basin and hung up the curtain.

Chang Xi would feel a little low pressure when she woke up in the morning, so she didn't say much. She washed her face under Xiao Tao's care, and brushed her teeth with a toothbrush made of short, stiff boar bristles dipped in powder made from green salt and aconite.

This thing is still not very easy to use, but it's still tolerable.

"Ms. Chang, this is ointment."

Chang Xi, who was about to dress up, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw the medicine bottle in Xiao Tao's hand. She didn't realize that this little girl was so careful to notice the injury on her head. The two of them didn't notice anything yesterday, or

When you find it, you should treat it as invisible, and immediately see whether it is high or low.

When Xiao Tao saw Chang Xi's gentle smile, she let go of her nervousness and served Chang Xi's dressing more carefully. Her hands were very skillful and she quickly tied a bun.

Yesterday, Chunye and Hongye stole the limelight. She didn't sleep well all night. She got up early and took care of everything, trying to leave a good impression on Chang Xi.

Children can be taught.

Chang Xi has a new view of Xiao Tao, and her attitude is much gentler than last night.

When Chunye and Hongye hurried over, their eyes seemed to burst into flames when they saw this scene. They didn't expect this Xiaotao to be so cunning.

Chang Xi's side was constantly fighting openly and secretly, but Aunt Zhong waited on the fourth lady Qin Shi after breakfast and began to report a series of Chang Xi's actions yesterday.

Mrs. Qin was too busy hosting a banquet yesterday, so she didn't bother to ask Chang Xi. Now that she was free, she was able to listen to what Aunt Zhong had to say.

When she heard that Chang Xi actually extorted a large sum of money from the Xu family, Mrs. Qin immediately burst into laughter, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Chang is actually a wonderful person."
