His eyes gradually gathered, and then he settled on the retreating figure. It was thin and thin, as steep as a mountain, and looked like an ink landscape painting under the winter sun.
Extraordinarily beautiful.
It made people panic for a while.
Suddenly, she lightly hit her forehead with some dissatisfaction, cursed herself for being useless, and forced herself not to look again.
After a moment of silence until the back figure was completely thrown out of his mind, he began to think carefully about what had just happened.
Su Mo suddenly came back, accused herself of jealousy, and imposed family laws on herself. She was indeed unexpected.
If there was only Wan Qinghe, she would have plenty of ways to deal with him.
She is a concubine, and she is under his control. When faced with slander, she does not need to prove herself, she can just punish her.
But it's different with Su Mo's help. If he accuses him, he won't be able to refute it.
If the family law is followed, I don't have many servants in the Qiao family, let alone resist.
Therefore, when she saw Su Mo suddenly coming back, she immediately ordered someone to find Mrs. Su.
She was the only person in the Su family who could help him and make Su Mo obey.
She was not very confident that Mrs. Su would help an outsider like herself.
But she had expected that Mrs. Su would definitely help her this time out of consideration for her return of her wealth.
Furthermore, she knew to some extent from the previous incident of retrieving the dowry that Mrs. Su was an extremely stubborn and rigid person who accepted death and would not help relatives.
Although there was no direct evidence to prove that she was framed, Mrs. Su spent most of her life in the house.
Whether this was a trap or not, she would know as soon as she heard it.
That's why Grandma Hua came in such a timely manner and saved her from the trouble with just a few words.
After recovering her good thoughts, her expression returned to normal.
Thinking of the two concubines again, he walked towards the side hall.
The injuries on Fang Hui and Jia Yun'er's hands have been treated, and they both sat on the chairs with fear and anxiety on their faces.
When they heard Qiao Ruanxiang's arrival, they all stood up and bowed their heads obediently.
He looked like he was lying low.
Qiao Ruanxiang smiled warmly and said softly: "Since you have entered the Su Mansion and become concubines, it stands to reason that the eldest lady should have explained it to you. But now it seems that the explanation is not very clear. That’s why you did such a stupid thing today.”
"Madam, spare your life!"
The two of them were like frightened birds when they heard her words. They were so frightened that they fell to their knees, lowered their heads and begged for mercy.
They didn't know whether Qiao Ruanxiang was angry or not, because it looked like her smile was too gentle.
But it was already clear at the time of the incident that they were pretending to offer tea and harming her, so it was right to kowtow and beg for mercy now.
Qiao Ruanxiang sat on a high chair with her skirt held up, her eyes lowered, her eyes as dull as water.
The voice was still soft and gentle, but extremely powerful.
"Moreover, some people even tried to burn my face with hot tea..."
"Madam, I definitely didn't mean this. I was careless. Please forgive me, madam. It was really unintentional!" Jia Yun'er's eyes trembled violently, her head pressed against the floor, and cold sweat dripped down her back. said in horror.
She knew that the madam was talking about her, and she did have a wrong idea at that time.
Now that her mind was exposed, she was already frightened to death.
She hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, secretly praying in her heart that Madam would believe her.
Qiao Ruanxiang smiled.
He also thought to himself that Wan Qinghe's preparation for today's tea ceremony was indeed foolproof. If it worked, he would be disfigured. If not, he would be accused of humiliating his concubine for no reason.
This is not like the fault of the third lady with a bad temper. Wan Qinghe has brains, but based on his understanding of her, this matter is not like her style.
But no matter who was responsible, Wan Qinghe could not escape the involvement.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a jealous and vicious head wife."
"I made it clear that I just want to tell you something. Keep your eyes open and see clearly who is in charge in this house. She, Wan Qinghe, is favored by Su Mo and protected by the eldest lady. After all, she is also my concubine. No different than you.”
"If you offend her, you may be a little angry, but if you offend me, you will be worse off than dead."
Since ancient times, concubines have relied on their head wives to survive.
Even if they are the daughters of common people, they know this truth.
When the two people on the ground heard this, they felt chills running down their spines, and they were shaking involuntarily.
At this time, they extremely regretted listening to Wan Qinghe's bewitchment.
He paused hurriedly, banged his forehead on the floor, and all responded.
"Okay, now that you understand, just back off. I don't care how you fight for favor in the future, but if you still listen to words you shouldn't listen to and do things you shouldn't do to me, you won't be as lucky as this time. .”
"Yes! The concubines know it!"
The two of them chatted and trembled as they answered, both of them sincere.
Watching the two of them exit the room, Qiao Ruanxiang's eyes fell on Jia Yun'er.
Fang Hui is really weak, but this Jia Yun'er is not all that weak.
The ambition in her eyes was fully exposed when she poured the hot tea on herself.
It is not a bad thing for a concubine to be ambitious.
In short, she reminded her clearly enough just now. I hope Jia Yun'er will not let her down with her ambition.
He retracted his eyes and thought of what he heard from Su Mo's heart.
It turned out that what happened was that he stole his eldest brother's article to take part in the imperial examination!
I guess it must be Qiao Er's eldest brother who was responsible for stealing the article.
This incident was an unexpected gain.
However, I will keep it for now without revealing it, as it will be of great use in the future.
Another point came to mind, Su Mo wanted to win Mr. Han's favor and join the cabinet.
Qiao Ruanxiang's eyes were heavy, and he thought that she would be as he wished.
After all, if the Su family wants to fall hard, they have to climb high enough.
Qiao Ruanxiang changed into aquamarine clothes and walked towards the ancestral hall.
It was Mrs. Su who ordered her to kneel down in the ancestral hall, so she was going to go.
When she arrived at the ancestral hall, she realized that this was the last move Wan Qinghe had mentioned.
Four or five servants of the Qiao family were holding down a young boy.
The boy was drugged and had lost his mind.
At this time, his eyes were scarlet and he was struggling crazily.
If she hadn't been careful, she would have secretly brought a few of her servants to the ancestral hall.
Otherwise, even if this boy fails to succeed, his reputation will be stained.
In an aristocratic and noble family, one cannot hold one's head high if one's reputation is dirty.
At that time, everyone in the Su family will have another reason to step on their heads.
They want to get back the Su family's property, continue to spend their dowry, continue to humiliate themselves in secret, what do they want that they cannot satisfy?
Qiao Ruanxiang snorted, this is Wan Qinghe's style, his methods are despicable and vicious.
This was the case in the last life, but it happened two years later.
In this life, maybe it was him who exposed Wan Qinghe and Su Mo's adultery in advance, which brought the matter forward.
Wan Qinghe was very careful and did not find any clues pointing to her.
