Chapter 93: Can't afford it anymore

Although Aunt Pei is a concubine, she is still so shameless for so many years in the Qiao family.

Both Qiao Weisheng and Mrs. Xu have always been very gentle to her. The maids and wives in the courtyard are far beyond the standards of other concubines. Even the food and clothing expenses are not much higher than those of other masters in the house.

Both.

There are even many people below who secretly say that Aunt Pei is not like an aunt, and her status is comparable to that of an equal wife.

But today, in front of so many people, Qiao Weisheng directly asked a long attendant to scold her, as if giving her a loud slap in the face, telling her to see clearly that she was a concubine! A servant!

Even though she had always been gentle and docile, so many years of pampering had given her her own temper.

How can I endure this matter today?

When I saw my daughter, I burst into tears and didn't care that she was still in the yard at this time.

"Are they all dead? You haven't brought water to cleanse my mother's face! What are you looking at? Kneel down in the yard for me one by one!"

With a pale face, Qiao Yuning helped Aunt Pei go into the house, her cold eyes swept over the maids and women hiding around, and she immediately made the people below tremble.

It was the first time that I discovered that the gentle and elegant second girl actually had such a side. At that moment, no one dared to hold back and all started to take action.

Qiao Yuning personally helped Aunt Pei clean her face, and put a hot handkerchief on her eyes before she said angrily: "Daddy, is this a crazy thing? What a big deal, you can't treat your aunt like this!"

?In all these years, have you ever been asked to go to the Furong Pavilion to perform morning and dusk meditation?"

This is true. It's not that Mrs. Pei is trying to get Qiao, but that Mrs. Xu has always had a good relationship with Aunt Pei and has never asked her to sleep in the morning and dusk.

And in the past, the housekeeper of the Xu family was always assisted by Aunt Pei, and she was always in one place for half of the day.

Now that Qiao Yuyan is the housekeeper and has mobilized all the people she is familiar with, there is no possibility for her to intervene, so naturally she goes less often. Since people have not been feeling well these past two days, she has not gone to the Furong Pavilion for several days.

How come you are disrespecting your mistress?

Pei Yayi did not speak, her face was still very bad, her eyes were red, and she still shed tears from time to time.

Qiao Yuning took a quick look and found that her biological mother's house seemed a little gloomy.

The chairs and mattresses used for daily sitting and sleeping are all half-used, the screen was also awarded by Xu last year, and even the ornaments on Duobao Pavilion may not have been replaced for a long time.

Looking at the biological mother's dress again, although she was dressed for home use, it seemed too simple, and she remembered what happened today in the Furong Pavilion.

Mrs. Xu is now pregnant, as if she was carrying a dragon's egg. Not only are all the utensils used the best, but the inside and outside of the room have been completely changed.

Not to mention food, Qiao Yuyan specially allocated the two most skilled women on the stove to Mrs. Xu, and also opened a small kitchen in the Furong Pavilion. Whatever Mrs. Xu wanted to eat, she could cook it immediately.

I was afraid that I would eat dragon meat from the sky, so I had to find a way to buy it.

The mother and daughter are fine over there, but what about her and her biological mother?

Qiao Yuning talked about what she had said to Mrs. Xu today, her face full of anger, "Mom, I can't take my time like this anymore. Now the elders of both families are obviously interested. Marriage is the order of the parents. If anything happens,

Why don't they settle the engagement first and then wait until after the autumn test?"

Aunt Pei came back to her senses from the humiliation just now, and her expression became a little cold.

"It seems that you can't count on your wife at all, let alone your father, but I have such an identity..."

She thought for a while, turned around and held her daughter's hand, "You can only rely on yourself."

"mother?"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and didn't speak for a while. Qiao Yuning finally nodded heavily.

Then, what happens at the Grand Prime Minister's Temple tomorrow will be crucial.

"By the way, mother, can you pick up the set of jewelry from Zhenbaozhai?"

Qiao Yuning's words stunned Pei, "What?"

"Didn't you see the pink pearl jewelry in the shop that day and planned for me to take it with me when I go out tomorrow?"

After saying this, Mrs. Pei remembered that she had heard that Mrs. Yao had prepared many things for Qiao Yurong. Qiao Yuning felt uncomfortable and came to Mrs. Pei to cry. Then she thought of going to see Silang Wen, so Mrs. Pei took her

Then she also went out, thinking about buying some things.

I bought a lot of things, but I didn't particularly like anything until I saw a complete set of pink pearl jewelry at Zhenbaozhai, including Huasheng, back-pressed, pearl flowers, necklaces, bracelets, and forbidden steps. It was a complete set.

Not only does it look luxurious, but the rare thing is that the design is elegant and does not look tacky at all.

She fell in love with it at first sight. Aunt Pei asked about the price, but she was a little confused. Such a set would cost a full two hundred taels.

The price frightened both mother and daughter, but it was rare to see that their daughter liked it, so Aunt Pei discussed it with the shopkeeper and sent money to buy it in two days, asking her not to sell it to anyone else.

It was originally planned, and the money from the three shops was sent over, just enough to buy it. Who knew that the money that had been delayed for more than half a month was still there today.

Then he forgot about this matter, "I..."

Aunt Pei was full of apologies. She was about to say that she would let people go now. Suddenly she remembered that she didn't seem to have so much living money on her. But thinking about tomorrow, she turned around and called the maid over, "Go to my dowry and put that

I took out the two red gold necklaces and pawned them, and then went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy back the set of jewelry that the girl had taken a fancy to the other day."

When the maid took the order and left, Qiao Yuning's face was full of surprise, "Why do you still want to pawn something? Mother has no money at hand?"

"Even if we really have no money, we can't wrong my sister Ning!" Aunt Pei reluctantly relaxed her frown, stretched out her hand and tapped her nose, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll get the things in a moment."

Qiao Yuning looked at her biological mother seriously, "What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door. When he turned around, he saw the Zhao family hesitating at the door, as if they didn't know whether they should come in or not.

Qiao Yuning knew that this woman was her mother's most trusted confidant, so she said immediately: "If you have anything to do, please come in."

"Aunt... this..." The Zhao family came in, but looked at Qiao Yuning, with a look of hesitation on their faces.

In the past, Aunt Pei would not let her daughter know about these things, but now this family is no longer as controllable as before. It would be better to let her daughter know something earlier, so she nodded gently.

The Zhao family lowered their voices and said, "Auntie, the shopkeepers of those three shops... are all gone."

"Gone?!" Aunt Pei was shocked and stood up immediately, "What do you mean? Three good-looking people are in charge of such a big shop! How come they are missing? Tell me clearly!"

Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
