As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Yin'er nodded sensibly and retreated.

The third wife of the Qiu family reluctantly looked at the boxes in the yard, but had to be led into the room by Qiu Huixian.

Mrs. Qiu Er glanced at it and snorted coldly in a very low voice, "Your eyeballs are about to fall off those gifts. I don't think people need to think too much. Some people's thoughts are obvious!"

The Qiu family has four rooms and three aunts who are married outside. Each room and the aunts who are married outside have sons and daughters. They have a long line of heirs. It can be said that the branches are luxuriant and the family is great.

Qiu Huixian's father is the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest family. He is an honest man. Although he and his wife Zhou were ordered by their parents and a matchmaker, they became close friends after marriage and had a deep relationship.

The second wife's aunt is a relative of the eldest lady.

When they were in the boudoir, the second wife's aunt was very close to the eldest lady, and they became even closer after they got married.

The third lady and the third master of the Qiu family met when they were traveling abroad and promised each other for life.

The third master will not marry if he is not a minister, and the third wife will not marry if she is not a king.

Mrs. Qiu had no choice but to marry the third wife. After the marriage, the relationship between the couple was good, but the third wife hurt her body after giving birth to a daughter and it was difficult to give birth.

In order to continue to have children, Mrs. Qiu asked the third master to take in two concubines.

The concubine was very happy and gave the third master a pair of children, which also caused discord between the third wife and the third master.

When nothing happened to the Qiu family, there would be a big quarrel every three days and another big quarrel every two days.

Later, something happened to the Qiu family. Qiu Huixian's father hanged himself. The second uncle and the third uncle were severely punished and died a few days after being released from prison. After the third wife went crazy for a few days, she was afraid that the Qiu family would be liquidated later, so she would have to fight with Qiu Huixian again. The family is separated in a noisy manner.

Qiu Huixian's mother is in charge of the general affairs of the house and handles everything in an orderly manner.

As the eldest daughter, Qiu Huixian has been with her mother since she was a child. She has seen and learned many things. She was originally trained according to the direction of the mistress of the house.

Qiu Huixian knew everything about her third aunt's temperament and methods, and she could handle it appropriately.

When she really decided to separate the family from the third lady, the third lady cried and shouted not to separate.

After listening to what the second lady said, the third lady's face suddenly turned sly. She looked away awkwardly and did not dare to look around anymore. She smiled and asked about Priscilla Qiu's life in the Xie Mansion.

Qiu Huixian said calmly: "Everything is fine. Third aunt is worried about you."

After chatting with the two elders about some domestic matters, Qiu Huixian said seriously: "Now that the foundation of the Qiu family is unstable, the family must be careful in everything they do. Don't think that because we are in-laws with the Xie family, we can act recklessly."

"You have to be low-key and restrained."

The Second Madam nodded and said: "That's natural. The more times like this, the more cautious you must be in dealing with things. Don't worry, A-Xian. Auntie knows the importance and the appropriateness."

The third lady also smiled and said: "These words are like teaching children. As elders, of course we all know what is appropriate."

"Oh?"

Qiu Huixian looked at the third lady and asked softly: "If the third lady knows what to do, then why did I hear Yunxi had a dispute with someone outside, so I used my identity as the wife of the Xie family's eldest son to intimidate her?"

"What?" The third lady froze for a moment and argued, "You must have heard wrong. How could such a thing be possible? Absolutely not!"

"There is no best. I hope that the third aunt can control the fourth sister and keep her own rules. If the third aunt cannot control her well, then I may control it for the third aunt to avoid causing trouble in the future."

The third lady gritted her teeth and smiled, her face looking very ugly, "You, you are already married -"

"Yes, I am married outside, but my surname is still Qiu."

Qiu Huixian picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "I have been in charge of this family for many years. Third Aunt, don't think that if I get married, the Qiu family has nothing to do with me."

"I am one with the Qiu family, sharing weal and woe. Supporting my younger siblings and stabilizing the family... is my responsibility as the eldest daughter-in-law. This will not change before, now, or in the future."

"If Third Aunt can't bear this, you can take Fourth Sister back to your parents' home, and I will give you a release letter on behalf of Third Uncle."

The second lady took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "Your third aunt's family has many brothers, and none of your sisters-in-law are economical. I don't know how many cold looks she will get when she goes back." "She won't want to go back."

In the Qiu family, she is still the third wife.

As long as this family survives, she will have good food and clothing.

It may not be possible to return to my parents' home.

The third lady froze immediately, her face was green and white, she wilted after a moment, and said with a dry smile: "A-Xian is joking, the third aunt married into the Qiu family, she was born as a Qiu family member, and died as a Qiu family ghost."

"Go back to your parents' home..."

Qiu Huixian smiled slightly and said, "The third aunt is also from my mother's family. Whether she returns or not depends entirely on the third aunt's wishes."

The third lady understood the meaning of her words.

If she is restless, Priscilla Qiu can drive her back.

The third lady never expected that Priscilla Qiu would give her such a blow when she came back during the Chinese New Year, but she dared not speak out in anger, and had to smile and deal with it carefully.

Just because her daughter's future is tied to Qiu Huixian.

In the past, when the Qiu family was in decline, the range of marriage options was also very narrow.

But now that Qiu Huixian has joined the Xie family, the status of the Qiu family has increased, and the range of husbands her daughter can choose has also suddenly increased.

After the third lady was depressed for a moment, she knew the situation in her heart and resigned herself to her fate. Watching Priscilla Qiu and the second lady chatting about everyday things, she couldn't help but think of the previous gift.

Don't know what it is.

However, Qiu Huixian didn't speak. It was really inappropriate for her to take the initiative to ask, so she could only keep her mouth shut and wait patiently.

The two concubines stood behind the third lady in a polite manner.

They were all selected by the old lady. They are all children of the Qiu family. They are calm and sensible. Even if something happens to the Qiu family, they will never leave to take care of the master's family.

However, the concubine that the Third Madam bought herself at that time took Xinruan and ran away when something happened to the Qiu family.

This was undoubtedly a severe slap in the face of the third lady, making her lose even more face in the Qiu family.

The third lady was very angry thinking about the bad things in the past.

Suddenly, something clicked in her head, and something came to her mind.

She looked at Priscilla Qiu and said, "A-Xian, in this big family, the wife is the head and the concubines are the servants. Look at our family, from the eldest master to your third uncle, there are concubines to serve the mistress."

"You will inevitably have to choose in the future. Third Aunt has a candidate here. When the time comes, you tell Third Aunt and Third Aunt will bring it to you to see."

The second lady frowned slightly, but did not speak this time.

The third lady's words sounded blunt and unpleasant, but they were indeed true.

The masters of the Qiu family all had wives and concubines, and the wealthy ladies who got married took maids as dowries, and then used them as concubines.

This is how they all came here.

Qiu Huixian should have chosen someone to marry with her.

It's just that her wedding date is tight, and in addition, Qiu Huixian has delayed her age and is still unmarried.

The girl who was originally serving her was one or two years older than her.

In order not to delay the girls around her, Qiu Huixian married them when they were twenty-five years old. (End of chapter)
