Qiao Yuyan couldn't calm down when she thought of this.
She had to figure this out as soon as possible.
After returning to the Wen Mansion, Qiao Yuyan first went to greet Mrs. Wen and brought her the gifts sent by the Qiao family, saying that they were the old lady's wishes.
Mrs. Wen is indispensable.
Qiao Yuyan just did it casually. The old lady was not at home today, so she didn't have the thought to give gifts.
Returning to Tao Ranxuan, Qiao Yuyan immediately found Pinlan and called everyone else out.
"Madam, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Pinlan has the calmest temperament among all the maids, which is what Qiao Yuyan values most about her.
At this moment, Qiao Yuyan sent everyone else out. There must be something very important, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
"You told me when Aunt Pei came to our house and later married my father as my aunt. Do you know more details?"
Pinlan didn't expect to be asked about this matter that had happened for a long time, and she felt a little confused for a moment.
After all, Aunt Pei is already dead.
Pinlan also knew that something must have happened to Qiao Yuyan, so she asked about this old incident again. She thought about it carefully, then shook her head, "It's not that I didn't tell my wife, it's because I was a young slave back then.
I'm only a few years old, and it's not my turn to serve tea and water. I also listened to Sister Jade in the old lady's room. It was Sister Jade who took care of me when I was a child."
"Then...does this Jade still have contact with you? Where is it?"
Pinlan knew that there was probably something important, so she nodded quickly without hesitation, "Yes, she will marry in the suburbs of the city, and she will occasionally send letters to her slaves."
Qiao Yuyan felt happy, "Can you arrange for her to come to the house? I have something to ask her."
"That's natural. She comes to the city three or four times every month. Her man works as a steward in a sugar shop on East Street. I just need to go there first and deliver the message."
This is the reason why Qiao Yuyan couldn't calm down. When she heard what she said, she quickly said: "I'd better go see her! Get in touch with her and make an appointment. It needs to be quiet. Don't
Too ostentatious.”
Pinlan agreed and started to do it immediately.
If we get accurate information by the evening, we can meet in the afternoon of the next day.
Pinlan couldn't help but wonder, "Madam, when it comes to what happened back then, our old lady knows best. Madam, why don't you ask her?
Even though the old lady is angry with Aunt Pei, now that she is dead, she probably won’t be too excited when talking about what happened back then.”
Qiao Yuyan shook her head, "I haven't figured out this matter yet, and... it's a bad thing if many people know about it. What's more, my grandmother is old and can't bear too much."
This means that this matter is really important.
In the afternoon of the next day, Qiao Yuyan only said that she was going out to buy something, so she told her and went out.
She is still a new daughter-in-law, and the Wen family wants to be proud. Even if they treat their daughter-in-law harshly, they will never take advantage of Qiao Yuyan at this time.
What's more, she is the youngest daughter-in-law, and the daughter of a well-connected family.
So Qiao Yuyan looked at the ugly faces of Mrs. Wen and the third wife, and Shi Shiran went out.
The carriage took a tour around the downtown area. Qiao Yuyan took Pinlan Qixi and several good students for a tour, and then went into a small teahouse to rest.
In the box, Qiao Yuyan saw Jade.
She is now in her thirties, and she can see the traces of hard work, which is incomparable with the ladies in charge of the house.
However, there is no sign of sadness, and his face is even a little rounded, so he should be living a pretty good life.
This was the first time she met Qiao Yuyan, and she had only heard of this girl before.
From Pinlan's letter, it sounded like she was just a little girl who got married so early for some reasons.
When I saw this person, I was shocked to see how sophisticated and generous this young lady was.
After all, she had been in Ninghetang for many years. She was only surprised for a moment, and then she bowed to Qiao Yuyan in a proper manner.
Qiao Yuyan quickly asked Qixi to help her up, and then she was supported by Pinlan and sat down on the main seat. There was a smile on her face, "Sister, you shouldn't give me this gift. Now you are free and not my family."
His servants, we have the same status."
These words made Feicui panic, "What the eldest lady said offended the villain. If it weren't for the old lady's love, how could the villain live like this now? In these years, the villain has often been grateful for the kindness of the old lady and his uncle at home.
I have been thinking about how I can repay you, and I got a letter yesterday saying that the girl will be useful. I am just filled with joy. If the girl wants to know anything, just ask."
Qiao Yuyan knew from Pinlan that Feicui had caused some trouble. Originally, the old lady wanted to choose a manager for her at home, but she had no choice but to hire a few good young people from outside and let her do it herself.
pick.
Looking at her now, she seems to be doing well.
It is one thing to show kindness without repaying it, but it is heart-warming to be remembered.
Qiao Yuyan smiled warmly and said: "Then I won't follow my sister in circles. I actually want to ask about Aunt Pei back then.
What was it like when she first came to our house, and what was it like when she met my father? That day..."
She paused, wondering whether she was asking about her father's personal affairs. Qiao Yuyan felt a little uncomfortable, "Do you still remember the specific process of that day?
When did you find out she was pregnant? What was everyone's attitude at that time?"
Feicui was a little confused by her series of questions and looked at Pinlan hesitantly.
Pinlan walked over and gently held her hand, "Sister, tell the girl everything you know! There are some things that I can't explain to you, but they are very important to the girl and our Qiao family.
Now the girl can only ask you."
It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is really good.
After Pinlan's words, Feicui nodded slightly, "Girl, don't be surprised, even though the villain is not in the house now, he was once the old lady's person.
At the beginning, the old lady said that she wanted us to rot in our stomachs, but now that the girl has come here, the last time I saw the old lady, she also talked about you, so the villain will believe me. "
Qiao Yuyan was surprised, and felt a little touched in her heart. As expected, her grandmother still knew how to discipline people.
These maids have been in the house for many years, and they still remember the lessons and rules from the past. Only servants like this can truly make people feel at ease.
Jade stood up, closed the window, and then sat down in front of Qiao Yuyan again.
She brushed the hair off Luo's face with some embarrassment, and then smiled shyly, "Actually, when Miss Pei came here, our old lady had some doubts, because..."
She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Because it's so unlikeable."
