Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 105, Discovery

After Xiao Qing and Mrs. Zhou walked out of the restaurant, they went to the grain store again, bought some millet and white rice, and lard, some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as Chinese cabbage, dried pickled radish, salted beans, fresh bamboo shoots, kimchi, and Other dried beans, lentils, etc., do not go home until the dishes are prepared.

These days, almost every time I come to the county, I always go home with a full load. Mrs. Zhou is used to it. Today seems to be a lot. Mother is looking forward to the return of Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang, so she has prepared so much.

In the evening, Hou Mansion.

The Hou's Mansion is the courtyard of Wujin. Qiao Fang lives in the servant's room next to the outermost wall of the inner courtyard. This is reserved for the servants who live in the upper room. Currently, there are three maids in the Hou's Mansion. , an aunt in charge of the mansion has two maidservants, one of whom is Qiao Fang.

There is only one wall between this place and the residence of the boys in the outer courtyard.

Tonight it was Qiao Fang's roommate Jiang Ling's turn to guard the night gate. Last night, after not sleeping well during the day, Qiao Fang returned to the residence early in the evening.

Qiao Fang was alone in the room playing with the beads, which she picked up from the housekeeper when she was sweeping the floor. She had seen the shopkeeper calculate such a large number by playing with the beads. She thought it was amazing, so she picked them up. came back.

She likes life in the Hou Mansion very much. Although she stays up all night and works hard, there is food to eat and a bed to sleep here, and the aunt in charge doesn't beat her. The sentence is over, and I won't touch her. The only bad thing is that I have too much free time and spend a lot of time alone in a daze.

Many maidservants in the mansion were free to sit and chat together, talking about the prince and the trivial matters inside and outside the mansion, but she didn't like to chat with others, she sat alone and played with her fingers, talking to Leng Hua.

Until now, many people in the house have never seen her, and they don't seem to know of her.

After Jiang Ling opened the door and came in, the corner of his mouth was smiling, his face was rosy, and he was thinking about something with a look of coquettishness and anger.

When Qiao Fang saw her, she just glanced at her, then lowered her head and continued to think about her own affairs.

After Jiang Ling came in, seeing that Qiao Fang was still indifferent, she glanced at her and lowered her head.

She was in a good mood today, because the boy who was having an affair with her finally took the initiative to ask her to meet in private.

Today, she received an order from shopkeeper Yu, asking her to let Qiao Fang meet the prince as soon as possible, and offend the prince. Previously, shopkeeper Yu asked her to facilitate the meeting between Qiao Fang and the prince as soon as possible. She was very unconvinced, why should Qiao Fang be promoted , so she often inquired about the son's late return, took the initiative to change to the night job, and met the son by chance.

Now Shopkeeper Yu actually let Qiao Fang offend the prince, which is the happiest thing for her. She is going to make an appointment with someone, and she no longer thinks about the prince. As for how to offend, Qiao Fang's expression will offend people wherever she goes. !
She walked up to her, both showing off and questioning.

"Qiao Fang, help me go to bed tonight!" Jiang Ling said softly.

Qiao Fang: "..."

Jiang Ling talked to Qiao Fang ten times, but nine times she didn't get a response, but her hard work is not comparable to ordinary people.

She walked up to Qiao Fang and pulled Qiao Fang's sleeve, and Qiao Fang took her hand away reflexively.

"Qiao Fang, he finally asked me to meet tonight. I can't miss the appointment. If you help me for one night, I'll help you for two nights later?" Jiang Ling begged.

Qiao Fang said, "No, I'm going to bed."

With that said, she turned around, took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed.

Jiang Ling hugged Qiao Fang's upper body: "Please, please, please help me to go tonight, I promise you, in the future, if shopkeeper Yu asks about you, I will never gossip with her again. "

Qiao Fang opened her eyes: "..."

She told Shopkeeper Yu about her?

"Xiaofang, help me go for one night, just one night, and I will help you spend two nights later, okay? This is the first time he has asked me out. If I don't go, I may just find someone else in the future." The servant from slavery is married, Xiaofang, can you sleep with me all night?" Jiang Ling begged unwillingly.

Qiao Fang crossed her arms and closed her eyes, but she still shouldn't.

No matter what she said to Shopkeeper Yu, she has done nothing wrong, so I am not afraid of what she will say.

"Qiao Fang, please, if you don't speak again, I will take it as your agreement. You help me sleep tonight, and I will help you sleep tomorrow and two nights later!" Jiang Ling settled the matter alone. .

Qiao Fang wanted to refuse, but Jiang Ling got up and ran to the door quickly.

"If you agree, I won't tell my aunt. Let's agree in private! In case my aunt will scold us again!" Jiang Ling stood at the door and did not allow Qiao Fang to reject her.
After speaking, he got up and closed the door with a smile.

Qiao Fang sat up and didn't have time to open her mouth. Seeing her close the door, she shouted displeasedly, "Jiangling...Jiangling!"

It's just that Jiangling people have gone far.

After the people left, Qiao Fang's face was tense. Since she came to the Hou's mansion, she never said much about big and small things. This woman Jiang Ling, in order to meet her lover, let her go to the night for two consecutive days. Will help, but never will cash in, every time will not tell the aunt in charge, and tell her not to say!
Forced to do nothing, if she didn't go, and it was found that there was no vigil at night, the two of them would be punished together.

Qiao Fang had no choice but to close her eyes and rest for a while, and later went to sleep for her.

At the first watch, Qiao Fang sat alone on the porch and waited for the fifth watch boy to watch the door and change people, and the hours passed by.

Qiao Fang listened to the second and third watch sticks being knocked off, thinking that no one was going back to the inner house that night, so she leaned on the porch and closed her eyes for a while.

On weekdays, the son of the Hou Mansion is the latest to come back at night, but when some of the sons come back late, most of them are guarded by Jiang Ling, and there should be no one tonight.

She squinted for a while, feeling very cold, so she got up and went to the corridor to escape the wind.

The night wind in autumn was still a bit chilly, so she sneezed and walked into the porch.

I just didn't take a few steps, and at the corner, I heard a sound in the grass in the inner yard.

"Oh... um..." There was a cry, and a woman's panting came from the grass under the porch.

Although Qiao Fang is young, she knows the rules of turning a blind eye, not seeing, hearing, and not hearing in the Hou Mansion. Even if she sees something, she pretends to be blind and pretends to be deaf, and bites her mouth tightly so don't say anything. The aunt in charge said that only in this way can she live safely. , so she kept in mind.

"Uh...Ning Jiao, my Jiao..."

"Second brother, second brother... hurry up, um..."

Qiao Fang heard this voice familiarly, and had met it once or twice before, but she didn't know who it was, and she had never told anyone.

She realized that she bumped into something she shouldn't have bumped into again, she turned around and wanted to leave quietly, hoping that the other party wouldn't find her, but at this moment, her nose didn't live up to expectations, and she sneezed again.

When she walked down the corridor and turned a corner, the two people in the grass heard her sneeze.

"There are... people, there are people, second brother!"

"Ning Jiao, why is there someone?"

"Second brother, I heard a voice in the corridor, he found us, hurry up!"
