The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 41

Qiao Jiuxiu had just changed an embroidery bag when she saw Jinxiu trotting in all the way, with a flustered look on her face, she put the embroidery bag on the table, and frowned slightly, Jinxiu is usually very measured, so she was so reckless this time, she must have gone out something.So she quickly asked, "Jinxiu, what happened?"

Jinxiu nodded hastily, "I just came here, and Hongxiu told me that Mr. Ye had something to see the young lady, and asked the young lady to meet by the plum blossom tree in the front yard, so I came here to tell the young lady specially."

Mr. Ye Family?Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, he probably had no contact with Ye Yulang, probably he was asked by Ye Duanyi to help spread the word.Biting her lips slightly, it's not right for her to go to this matter, and it's not right not to go.If you go there, you will inevitably be seen by others, and then a bit of gossip may reach your wife's ears again, and she will really have no way to live a peaceful life.But if he didn't see him, he would be rude to the distinguished guest again.

Sighing lightly, she asked Jinxiu to bring herself the gold silk embroidered plum blossom robe, and then put it on, thinking that she should go to the front yard to meet Ye Yulang, and then make a quick decision, hoping not to be seen by others .Because it was inconvenient to bring Jinxiu with her, Qiao Jiuxiu went alone this time.

Ye Yulang had been waiting in front of the plum blossom tree for a while.Although it was already a snowy winter day, the view of the front yard was good. Not only were there a few peach blossoms in full bloom, but also the rockery on the side and the pavilions in the distance were very unique.Ye Yulang also felt in a good mood, and when he was brewing up his emotions and wanted to write a poem, he saw Qiao Jiuxiu rushing over.

Dressed in white, but with lotus steps, stepping on the snow all the way, Ye Yulang couldn't help thinking of the description of Yiren in the Book of Songs, probably the so-called Yiren also looked like this.

"Second Young Master Ye must be waiting impatiently," Qiao Jiuxiu approached, and nodded politely to Ye Yulang, because it was really inconvenient to get along with Ye Yulang for too long, so he could only get straight to the point, "Young Master, what do you want me to do this time?"

Ye Yulang felt uncomfortable when he heard Qiao Jiuxiu say "Second Young Master Ye". He didn't seem to like the alienation in Qiao Jiuxiu's tone, so he shook his head slightly, "Ninth Sister, just call me Yulang, I'm here this time She apologized to you for Duanyi, she said she was sorry about the embroidered bag."

Qiao Jiuxiu blushed slightly, and nodded, "Sister Ye doesn't need to apologize for the embroidered bag, that's my business, it's wrong to trouble Sister Ye, it's reasonable to be reprimanded by my wife, but it's a pity that those few Sister Ye has been embroidering bags for a long time."

Ye Yulang nodded, Qiao Jiuxiu's knowledge generally made him feel more fond of her, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Ye Yulang said that he still had some things to do and had to leave first.Qiao Jiuxiu was worried that she couldn't find a reason to leave, and when she heard that Ye Yulang had something to do, she nodded quickly and let him go to her own business first.

"Are you just looking forward to my leaving early?" Ye Yulang sighed lightly, Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback by this sentence, why did he use a sad tone just now?It was as if she had betrayed him.He hesitated and didn't know how to respond, but Ye Yulang smiled, "Ninth sister, you are so cute, I was just teasing you, don't take it so seriously."

Qiao Jiuxiu blushed and watched Ye Yulang leave.Ben also wanted to go back soon so that he could continue his embroidered bag, but suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and a burst of refreshing plum blossom fragrance rushed towards his face.She liked the smell very much, thinking that since it came out, it would be better to enjoy the flowers, as there would be no such good opportunities in the future.So he raised his hand and picked off a small bunch of plum blossoms, held it in his hand, and touched its petals lightly.

"Plum blossoms in winter should be in full bloom, and the pieces fall like snow." Qiao Jiuxiu imitated the poet's arty appearance, but the plainness of this poem seemed to be a bit wrong. Suddenly, he saw two people standing in the pavilion in front of him, a man and a woman. Normally, Qiao Jiuxiu would have turned around and left, not to provoke these things, but this time, she didn't leave, instead she hid behind a rockery to cover her body.

The woman was Pearl, and she wanted to know why Pearl was going to inform her and let her be scolded by his wife.

"You asked me to do this?" The man opened his mouth, but Qiao Jiuxiu's body trembled. She was very familiar with this voice, it was Qiao Shaolian's voice.There are only two young masters in the Qiao family. The elder brother, Qiao Shaotang, is an upright gentleman. The fourth young master, Qiao Shaolian, is just the opposite.Is it just that Qiao Shaolian and Pearl know each other?Judging from his tone just now, it seemed familiar.

"I have a child." Pearl cast a sad look at Qiao Shaolian, "Fourth young master, what should we do now?" Although Pearl is usually pretty and can help her elder sister with many things, she is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman , This is the first time I have encountered this matter, so naturally I don't know how to deal with it, so I want to ask Qiao Shaolian to come over and discuss together how to deal with this matter.

"Child? Whose child?" Qiao Shaolian's face suddenly turned pale, apparently unexpectedly.He is the young master of a concubine, and his status in Qiao's mansion is neither awkward nor embarrassing, and his wife is very conservative. If she finds out that he has an affair with a maid, he will definitely be furious, and maybe he will be kicked out of Qiao's mansion, or forced to married Pearl.Either way, it was not the result he wanted.

Pearl's tone was still sad, "Fourth young master, this is naturally your child, and Pearl will only live with you in this life." While speaking, she lowered her eyes slightly, full of affection, very pitiful.But Qiao Shaolian raised his hand and knocked the pearl to the ground, "My child? We only got married twice, how could we have a child? I think you want to climb high branches and go crazy, so just find a wild man , after I have a body, let me be this fool!"

"Fourth young master, I don't. This is really your child." Pearl fell to the ground and started crying, "I swear to God, this is really your child."

Qiao Jiuxiu felt that Pearl was so pitiful. Pearl was with her eldest sister all year round, and she had almost no chance to contact men on weekdays, so the child could only be Qiao Shaolian's.It's just that looking at Qiao Shaolian's appearance now, it's clear that he doesn't intend to be responsible for Pearl, and only wants to get rid of the relationship quickly.She felt a little indignant, how could there be such a tall man in this world?Dare to do it but dare not admit it, Pearl likes him, it is really sad.

Seeing Pearl's serious appearance, Qiao Shaolian felt a little hesitant, could this really be his own child?Although he remained calm on the surface, his voice couldn't hide his trembling, "Even if this is my child, what are you going to do?"

Pearl bit her lip, she came to Qiao Shaolian today, just waiting for him to ask this question.She hesitated for a while, and said what was in her heart, "Shaolian, would you marry me as a sidekick? I don't mind whether it's a concubine or a companion."

Pearl stared at Qiao Shaolian fixedly, even her address changed, she called him by his name, no longer the unfamiliar Fourth Young Master.Qiao Shaolian took half a step back, but sneered, "Don't be kidding, let me marry you, and you don't even look at your identities. I will tell you right now that we were just for fun when we were together. Now that my young master is tired of playing, naturally I don't plan to ask for it. If you are sensible, I can give you a few small coins as compensation. As for marrying you, it will be in the next life."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, the words were so exaggerated that even she could not listen to anyone else.Pearl shook her head and cried even harder, "Then what about this child? You are his father."

"Let's do it." Qiao Shaolian said coldly, "By the way, who knows about this?"

Pearl stopped crying, "During the routine physical examination a few days ago, Doctor Song found out that I was pregnant. I asked her to keep it a secret, but she told Miss Six. Miss Six asked me to say something about Miss Jiu. Help me keep this secret, so only they know about this matter."

Qiao Shaolian nodded. Naturally, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.Looking at Pearl kneeling on the ground, he said coldly, "Go to Doctor Song right now and ask her to make this child."

"I don't want to. I want to give birth to this child. This is my child." Pearl shook her head. Although her temperament has always been docile, the things she is sure of will not change.

"What are you kidding, how could you give birth to this child!" Qiao Shaolian raised his hand and slapped Pearl on the face again, "Do you want to be kicked out of Qiao's house, or do you want to drag me into the water?"

"I want to give birth to this child." Pearl is still insisting.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, she didn't blame Pearl for betraying herself, she just felt that Pearl was so pitiful that she met such a man.

Hearing Pearl's words, Qiao Shaolian became even more furious, and started to punch and kick Pearl, "You bitch, I'll kill this child right now."

Pearl didn't resist, but carefully protected her stomach with both hands, submissively endured Qiao Shaolian's punches and kicks.She must give birth to this child, this is her child, and he must also want to visit this world.

Qiao Shaolian didn't stop his movements, but intensified them even more.

Qiao Jiuxiu finally couldn't stand it anymore. Although she repeatedly reminded herself not to go into this muddy water, she couldn't bear him bullying Pearl like this.So he walked out from behind the rockery, walked to the pavilion a few steps, pushed Qiao Shaolian away, and glared at him, "Fourth brother, you are enough."

Although she called him fourth brother, she had no intention of respecting him at all.Both Qiao Shaolian and Pearl were taken aback. Did she hear what was said just now?
