"Miss, why is it you?" Qiaocui was startled at first, and then asked in surprise, but still blocked the door and had no intention of letting Shui Muyao in.
Shui Muyao smiled awkwardly at Qiaocui, and said in a hoarse voice: "Aunt Cui, I have something important to come to see Fourth Sister. Please make it easier for me." She is not without self-awareness.
If Qiaocui wanted to see her, why would he block the door and prevent her from entering now?
A trace of doubt quickly flashed through Qiaocui's heart, but on the surface she pretended to be helpless and said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want you to come in, it's just that the fourth lady is talking to the madam and it's really inconvenient."
"But I just seemed to hear the fourth sister's voice. Aunt Cui, this matter is really important. It's about the fourth sister." Shui Muyao said a little excitedly. She glanced around and continued: "It's about the fourth sister."
My sister’s reputation, and I found that Shui Mushan has been frequently going in and out of the back door recently to meet a charlatan, which seems to be detrimental to my fourth sister.”
Upon hearing this, Qiaocui's expression changed, and she immediately pulled Shui Muyao in from outside the door, fastened the latch, and shouted in a low voice, regardless of etiquette: "Did the eldest lady see this with her own eyes, or did she hear it through hearsay?"
Shui Muyao's body wasn't very neat to begin with. She was pulled so hard by Qiaocui that her figure became unstable and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Qiaocui's hands were quick and he held her up. She gasped slightly and stabilized herself.
After calming down, he whispered: "To be honest with Aunt Cui, I have no intention of harming my fourth sister at all. On the contrary, I still have many things to ask of her, so Aunt Cui doesn't have to be so guarded against me. This time,
I really want to help my fourth sister. I saw that thing with my own eyes and it is absolutely false.”
Qiao Cui remained silent, looking at Shui Miyao suspiciously, and then said after a while: "Then, please wait a moment, let me go into the house and let you know."
Shui Muyao nodded immediately, showed a faint smile and said: "Aunt Cui, please go, I'll just wait here."
After Qiaocui entered the house, Shui Muyao looked around the yard and suddenly found that the big tree behind her had a big gap in the middle. She was shocked and murmured, was that loud noise just now coming from here?
She looked inside the house again. It seemed that her choice now was the right one. Shui Lianyue couldn't be offended now.
Although Shui Lianyue was involved in her mother's downfall, she did not agree with her mother's actions. Did she hate Shui Lianyue? How could she not hate her? From the eldest daughter who everyone envied, she suddenly
Isn't it Shui Lianyue's fault that she became a worthless and lowly concubine?
If she hadn't given Meng Qiuhe a chance, how could she and her mother have fallen into the position of being bullied by others? Now, even the maids and mothers-in-law dare to point fingers at them, and even hit or kick them when they have nothing to do. Such a life is simply
Life is worse than death.
Moreover, her dream was shattered. Now she is a lowly concubine. How can she still be worthy of that gentle and elegant man?
It's all her fault!
However, she couldn't even shake Meng Qiuhe, so how could she compete with Shui Lianyue? Looking at the broken tree body, she understood that if Shui Lianyue wanted to kill her, it would be easy.
Looking at the entire Shui Mansion, within a few days, Meng Qiuhe and his daughter have already been firmly controlled by Meng Qiuhe, and the only thing she can do is to make a difference only by joining forces with Shui Lianyue. However, if she doesn't do something quite...
I'm afraid Shui Lianyue wouldn't be willing to help her easily if she had something to do with sincerity.
In less than a moment, Qiaocui opened the bamboo curtain to reveal half of her body, and waved to Shui Manyao, indicating her to come over. Shui Manyao put away all her thoughts, smiled lightly, and walked towards the house.
In the room, Shui Lianyue was already sitting on a chair in the center, while the fourth lady returned to her room. This was Shui Lianyue's intention. She didn't want her mother to be embarrassed when meeting Shui Muyao. After all, her mother was the official of the house.
Elders, according to her kind nature, should take care of Shui Muyao. Unfortunately, my mother mentioned it several times, but she rejected her affectionately. After several words, my mother gave up the idea of going to Muyan Pavilion.
If this happens, my mother will inevitably feel embarrassed and blame herself if we meet again.
Qiaocui welcomed Shui Muyao into the house and ran towards the small kitchen. As soon as Shui Muyao entered the house, she saw Shui Lianyue, but her eyes were red and she had obviously just cried. She felt a little happy in her heart.
On the surface, he frowned slightly, seemingly serious.
"Sister, please sit down," Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Muyao, pointed to the seat next to her, and said calmly.
Shui Muyao was no longer polite. After sitting on the chair, she looked at Shui Lianyue and frowned: "I won't beat around the bush. Aunt Cui must have told you just now. I saw this with my own eyes.
Shui Mushan has been very strange recently. She often goes to the back door to meet a man by herself. That day I followed her secretly, and I saw the man's appearance and handsome appearance. But listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that it was not a private meeting, it seemed.
Your name was mentioned and the night before the wedding was mentioned. At that time, I was afraid that Shui Mushan would find out, so I didn’t follow too closely and didn’t hear clearly.”
Shui Lianyue stared at Shui Muyao, and saw that her expression was very serious when she spoke, and her eyes did not flicker, so she believed her a little. As soon as Shui Muyao finished speaking, Qiaocui brought in a tray from outside the house, with something on it.
Two plates of snacks and a pot of freshly brewed tea.
"Miss, come and try this snack. Of course, we are not as good as the cooks in the house, but it is the skill of the old slave. Come, here is the freshly brewed mountain tea. I must have never tasted mountain tea before, right?"
"The taste is very light, not much worse than those teas." Qiaocui's words were very subtle and euphemistic, which was what Shui Lianyue had ordered before.
Under Meng Qiuhe's pressure, Shui Muyao and her mother probably couldn't even eat enough, let alone drink tea and snacks. She didn't mean to add insult to injury, but felt that since they were willing to help her, they would naturally
She has her reasons and purposes, and there is no need for her to kill them all. It is always good to leave some room.[
Although Qiaocui spoke very reservedly, Shui Muyao was very self-aware and did not speak out. Catering to Qiaocui's words, she smiled lightly and said: "It's rare to taste Aunt Cui's craftsmanship. I'm too late to be happy. As for this camellia,
The aroma is fragrant, and just as Aunt Cui said, it's really no worse than that tea."
While talking, Shui Muyao picked up a small piece of snack and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Her face was calm and calm, but in fact, her heart was full of sadness. This snack and camellia were probably the best she had ever eaten in these days.
something.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly, her smile deepening, "This tea is really good, I couldn't put it down after one sip, but I wonder if there are more in Yue'er? Can I ask for some back?"
?
Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Muyao's playful smile and ragged clothes, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She was afraid that Shui Muyao must hate her in her heart, but she still had to put on a smiling face to welcome people. Indeed,
It's hard for her.
"As long as sister likes it, Aunt Cui, go to the small kitchen to pack some snacks you made, and also pack the bag of camellia for sister, and let her take it back later." Shui Lianyue told Qiao Qiao calmly.
Cui and Qiaocui didn't say much, they responded and left the room again.
"Then I won't be polite." Shui Muyao said coquettishly, which made the haggard look on her cheeks disappear a lot.
Shui Lianyue looked at Shui Miyao and said calmly: "Sister, of course there is no need to be polite, but it's just what sister said just now."
Before Shui Lianyue finished speaking, Shui Muyao took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I just said, you and I don't have to talk in roundabout ways. I'm actually helping you for my own sake. From that day on, you asked Master Zhuge to help you."
After my mother saw a doctor, the janitor woman stopped making things difficult for me, and I could go out for a walk on weekdays. However, my mother and the others did not dare to let her out. As for that matter, I discovered it by chance.
It has been three days in a row, and I see that Shui Mushan seems to have spent a lot of money, letting the little maid secretly sell all her jewelry in the past two days."
After hearing this, Shui Lianyue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's rare for my sister to bother so much for me, and she even knew about Shui Mushan letting the little maid secretly sell jewelry."
Shui Muyao naturally knew what Shui Lianyue meant, so she just explained lightly: "Earlier, the maid Xiao Taozi in her yard once stole the third lady's gold jewelry. Unfortunately, I discovered it that day, and so did I.
I only found out about this through her, but she was not a personal maid, so I didn’t ask anything else.”
After hearing the words, Shui Lianyue nodded, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before saying: "I thank my sister for this matter first. As for Shui Mushan, I will take more precautions. You don't have to follow her these days. If
If she finds out, I'm afraid it might be a bit dangerous."
Shui Muyao was slightly startled, and then he understood what she meant. Shui Mushan's behavior was tantamount to buying a murderer. As for what she was going to do, she knew it without even thinking about it. And now she had become the only legitimate daughter of the Shui Mansion.
Needless to say, the power in his hands goes without saying. It would be very easy to stumble her.
She nodded immediately and said: "Yes, but no matter how powerful the person Shui Mushan invites, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hurt Yue'er even half a bit, right?" Her eyebrows flickered a little, and her words were tentative, Shui Lianyue said again
How could he not hear it? He smiled slightly and said: "I'm not as powerful as my sister said, but I'm just a junior and it really can't hurt me at all."
"Well, it's good over there, so I'm relieved." After Shui Muyao said, she lowered her head, pinched a quick snack and put it in her mouth. She almost lost her composure just now and almost couldn't pretend in front of Shui Lianyue.
