Qiao Weisheng's question made Qiao Yuyan run away. How could she explain that she was really so stupid in her previous life?
Fortunately, he was not a harsh father, so the incident was in the past. Although it was settled in the end, it was not mentioned again.
As for the rumors outside, he also knew that the more he explained this kind of thing, the more attention would be paid to Qiao Yuyan, which would make the child unbearable and could only be resolved slowly with time.
"This Lin Xiaosheng is so vicious! Fortunately, we didn't notice it at all before. Now they can no longer hinder us. When I heard about it just now, I was scared to death."
Qiao Yuyan just stepped into the Furong Pavilion and frowned when she heard Aunt Pei talking to Mrs. Xu.
This Pei Yayi ran to Furong Pavilion a little too frequently. She spent almost half of her day here.
Lin Xiaosheng completely put an end to Xu's frame-up. This woman was not harmed at all, which made Qiao Yuyan feel really sick.
When Aunt Liu saw her coming, her face relaxed slightly and she quickly said with a smile: "The big girl is here!"
Aunt Pei quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, "I just heard that the eldest girl is really promising now. She actually came up with such a good idea. I would have never thought of it. It can be seen that our eldest girl
I followed my wife’s wisdom.”
In fact, Qiao Yuyan later learned that since the old lady's previous generation, the Qiao family had had rules that only a man who was forty and childless could take a concubine. Starting from the old lady, no one in the Qiao family had any concubines.
The only exception is Qiao Weisheng, who has Aunt Pei and her daughter Qiao Yuning by his side.
But Aunt Pei was the old lady's niece, so no one could argue with the rules.
But what are the rules? Aunt Pei would never go to Ninghetang. The few times she did so were for good reasons, and it was obvious that the old lady would be unhappy.
Therefore, Aunt Pei was not present for such a thing today, and she heard about what happened at the same time, which is why she is being praised now.
Qiao Yuyan also had to admire this woman. She was well-organized at home and followed all the rules and etiquette. She always had a smile on her face and was coaxing in her words. Coupled with Mrs. Xu's regard, everyone from top to bottom disliked her.
Qiao Yuyan has never understood that she is her husband's concubine, and judging from Xu's appearance, she clearly cares about Qiao Weisheng, how can she tolerate such Pei Yayi?
"Come from your father's place?" Mrs. Xu called Qiao Yuyan to her side and ordered the maid to fetch water for her to cleanse her face. "You should also get closer to your father. His temperament never knows how to coax people. It's just this
Don’t run in the bright sun.”
Qiao Yuyan smiled and nodded in agreement, and then asked about Xu's diet and daily life. Hearing that she was still short of energy recently, she told Aunt Liu and others to take good care of her. She glanced across Aunt Pei's face intentionally or unintentionally, and said something
, "If you don't have anything to do, just go to bed and lie on your back! Then the steward outside will tell you that Aunt Liu is here? Everyone wants you to see her?"
Aunt Pei responded repeatedly, "That's it. Madam, don't worry too much. I can't do anything better than you now. What's more, even though I am a rough guy, I can still succeed in giving Mother Liu a hand. Could it be that Madam?"
Are you worried about this?"
Xu couldn't help but smile and agreed with a smile, but Qiao Yuyan's heart was ringing with alarm.
Mrs. Xu is now pregnant, and it's not obvious yet. In a month or two, I'm afraid that the housekeeper's business will be out of the way, and everyone in the house will either be Yao or not.
Aunt Pei.
After Lin Xiaosheng's incident happened, Mr. Yao might not be able to speak easily, but even if he did, Qiao Weisheng and the old lady might not feel relieved.
Then there was only Pei Yayi. Not only had she helped the Xu family in the past, but she was also the eldest aunt and the old lady's niece. There seemed to be nothing wrong with letting her be the director of the family.
But if the power of housekeeping falls into her hands, then Xu's safety will not be guaranteed.
I was thinking about something in my mind, and when I arrived at Cheonggyedai, I realized that there was a guest.
This was the first time that Mrs. Yao came back here. She looked at the lush green courtyard, which made it feel a little cooler in this hot summer day. What's more, there was a clear stream about 10 feet wide in the courtyard, and the sound of gurgling water was very refreshing in this summer.
It is more pleasant to hear than any other music in the day.
"Second aunt is a rare visitor." Qiao Yuyan hurriedly came over and complained to the people below, "Why don't people call me when aunt comes? I just ask aunt to sit down. There is no reason to act like this."
Mrs. Yao quickly smiled and said: "Don't blame the wrong person. I just sat down and the little maid has already gone out to look for you. You are a good person in the yard."
In fact, Mrs. Yao was also very puzzled. She had always looked down on Qiao Yuyan, but what happened today really surprised her. The girl in front of her seemed to have changed.
Where is the arrogant and stupid look from before?
After sitting in her yard for a while, I was even more puzzled. Everything was orderly and orderly. None of these maids behaved or spoke inappropriately.
So if that's the case, why hasn't this big girl done anything praiseworthy in the past year? Could it be that she's just been pretending?
Although Qiao Yuyan guessed what she was thinking, she couldn't explain it. She could only pretend that she didn't know and talked about today's events, "Even if aunt doesn't come to me, I will go find aunt."
Yao came here to thank Qiao Yuyan, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "Oh?"
"I just want to ask my aunt if Lin Xiaosheng's family still has a lot of contact with her now?"
When Qiao Yuyan asked this question, Mrs. Yao looked puzzled, and felt a little unspeakably unhappy in her heart, "Since she got married and became a housekeeper in the kitchen, she is no longer so close to me."
It's a bit embarrassing to talk about this matter. Isn't it embarrassing that the power that I cultivated turned around and left me aside?
When Qiao Yuyan heard this, she patted her chest as if with lingering fear, "That's good, that's good."
Seeing this, Mrs. Yao couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the big girl say this?"
Qiao Yuyan quickly explained, "Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. The main reason is that Lin Xiaosheng's family was once a member of auntie's side. There was a rumor in the house that daddy was going to adopt one of auntie's three brothers..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Yao couldn't sit still, her face was already very ugly, and she suddenly stood up and said: "Where did you hear these words from the eldest lady?!"
Qiao Yuyan said quickly: "It doesn't matter where you heard it. This matter is over now. Fortunately, Lin Xiaosheng is not dead."
Although Yao was not very smart, he was not stupid either. He immediately understood what Qiao Yuyan meant.
If Lin Xiaosheng dies, then the suspicion against her in the future will become more and more intense because there is really no evidence to prove her death.
Seeing how angry she was, Qiao Yuyan gave her another reassurance. This chapter has been completed!
