The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 241 It's hard to speculate

Qiao Jiuxiu's illness is so serious that she has been ill for less than half a month and has not improved at all. She is still groggy all day long, and at the end of a day, she only wakes up for at least two hours.But other than going out to be muddled, there were no other symptoms of discomfort.While discussing the wedding between Qiao Jiuxiu and the Ninth Prince, the wife sent Ruyi to inquire about Qiao Jiuxiu's condition every day. She didn't seem to intend to stop her from marrying into the Ninth Prince's residence because of Qiao Jiuxiu's serious illness.

Although his wife had blocked the news from the outside world, the Ninth Prince still knew about Qiao Jiuxiu's serious illness.Fortunately, the Ninth Prince did not intend to reject Qiao Jiuxiu's engagement, and even specially sent the best medical girl in the mansion to treat Qiao Jiuxiu, saying that no matter how serious Qiao Jiuxiu's illness was, she would be the future princess of the Prince's Mansion.Hearing this, the wife felt as if she was delighted, as long as it didn't affect the wedding with the Ninth Prince, it would be great.

After some treatment, Qiao Jiuxiu finally regained her spirits. Seeing that Qinghe was busy with other things, she felt a little bit sorry. Because of her illness, she was running around in the Ninth Prince's Mansion and Qiao's Mansion all day. It was really hard work. she is gone.So he got up slowly, "Qinghe, my situation has improved a lot now, in fact, you don't have to come here every day, I will feel embarrassed if you do this."

Hearing this, Qing He could only smile lightly, "Miss Jiu, don't say that, Qing He came here this time because of the orders of the Ninth Prince, who said that he must let the Ninth Miss fully recover. Only then can I go back, otherwise he will not only fine me severely, but also deduct my wages. Miss Jiu, please do me a favor, pity Qinghe, but please don’t drive me away." Qinglian looked at me pitifully. Qiao Jiuxiu, Qiao Jiuxiu could only sigh helplessly, Qinghe's pitiful appearance was really hard to refuse, so she had to let Qinghe stay, but she really didn't understand why the Ninth Prince must marry herself Where is the wife?

She has never met the Ninth Prince, and besides, although the Qiao Mansion is in full swing and rising every step of the way, it doesn't mean that he, a dignified prince, needs to curry favor with the Qiao Mansion in order to live.Thinking of this, Qiao Jiuxiu naturally felt very absurd.But if that wasn't the case, why did he care so much about himself?Thinking that Qing He still had a certain understanding of the Ninth Prince, and seemed to be very talkative, so she asked Qing He to sit by her bed and said that she had something to ask Qing He.

"Miss Jiu, what do you want to ask me?" Qing He asked with big eyes shining.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, but still asked, "Qing He, can you tell me what kind of person the Ninth Prince is? Why did he insist on marrying me? I haven't met him before."

"You've seen it before." Qinghe has already heard a lot about the past between Qiao Jiuxiu and the Ninth Prince from Yingluan, but Yingluan also repeatedly told her not to talk nonsense, so when she said this, she would Knowing that he had said something wrong, he quickly explained, "My lord told me that the last time I met Miss Jiu in the palace, I liked it very much, so I asked Yingluan to propose marriage to Qiao's mansion. Is there anything wrong with this? As for the prince, Qing He is just a servant, so it's hard to say."

Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, had he met the Ninth Prince when he was in the palace?But why didn't she have any impression?Maybe he saw the Ninth Prince at the dinner party. There were a lot of princes and nobles at the dinner that day. Maybe the Ninth Prince was among them. He might have seen himself, but at that time Qiao Jiuxiu really didn’t notice anyone else Staring at her, he could only say that this caused disaster for him for no reason.

Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu no longer continued to pursue this issue, Qing He was also slightly relieved, she almost slipped her mouth just now, if the prince knew what he said and what he should not say, he would definitely give himself a good look.Although it is said that the lord doesn't have much energy on weekdays, and he cares about them all the servants, but it doesn't rule out that after making him angry, he will make them unable to eat.

Thinking about it, it was almost the end, so Qing He quickly found a reason for herself to retreat.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't stop her, and she returned to her distraught appearance. Recently, she always felt confused. When she thought about marrying into the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she felt that she should continue to be in a daze. Since this matter has been powerless to change, she It's not bad to be in a daze, at least it doesn't have to be as painful as when you are awake.

But suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange. Jinxiu and Hongxiu never liked to knock on the door when they entered the house. Who is it?You can only let someone push the door open.Qiao Shaotang carefully walked over to Qiao Jiuxiu and sat down, "Ninth Sister, are you feeling better?"

Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Qiao Shaotang in surprise, never expecting that he would come to see her specially. A lot of things happened in court recently. Master Qiao and elder brother are as busy as tops every day, and they can't get away from it at all. .Qiao Shaotang looked at Qiao Jiuxiu distressedly, "Brother knows that you don't want to marry the Ninth Prince, but you can't torture your body like this. I don't know how many people you will feel sorry for?"

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lips slightly, feeling Qiao Shaotang's deep concern for her, she burst into tears for a moment, "Brother, I can't help it, I don't want to marry the Ninth Prince at all, but my wife forced me to do this, I My heart is suffering, I have nowhere to express it, and I can only press it in my heart."

Qiao Jiuxiuye only dared to say these words to Qiao Shaotang.Including when Ye Duanyi came to visit her before, she also looked listless, afraid that if she opened her mouth, Ye Duanyi would go to beg Ye Yulang to come out.Ye Yulang can't help with this matter, so don't let him worry about it.Qiao Shaotang let out a sigh of relief, and fondled her hair, "Jiumei, is that why you don't want to marry the Ninth Prince?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she didn't know the Ninth Prince, and she had already given her heart to others.What's more, the Ninth Prince's reputation outside has been bad all these years. When she thinks that she is going to be picked in the fire pit, how can she feel better? "Brother, it's not like you don't know that the Ninth Prince plays games with flowers all day long, and there are already many wives in his family. How dare I marry a man who regards women as everything?"

What Qiao Jiuxiu said was of course the truth, but Qiao Shaotang shook his head slightly, knowing that Jiumei was afraid of being prejudiced against the Ninth Prince. These days in the court, he still had a lot of contact with the Ninth Prince. To this person, he was still very much. Appreciate it, and I always feel that I have seen him somewhere, "Jiumei, maybe I want to tell you something to be fair, the Ninth Prince may not be as absurd as the rumors say, with his identity, he is more or less It is also his helplessness that he needs to marry the daughters of some officials and eunuchs for political reasons, you can’t blame him all.”

Qiao Jiuxiu was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that Qiao Shaotang would help the Ninth Prince to speak, Wei Wei felt her nose a little sore, could it be that her most beloved elder brother is also looking forward to her getting married?Once she gets married, she will be able to earn supreme glory for the Qiao family, that's why the entire Qiao family is so united in looking forward to her being able to marry.Doesn't even Qiao Shaotang, who has always felt sorry for him, not consider himself?

"Brother, do you also want to have the backing of the Ninth Prince as a younger sibling?" When Qiao Jiuxiu said this, she felt her nose sour and very uncomfortable.Will my beloved elder brother sell himself for the sake of rising to the top?

Qiao Shaotang looked at Qiao Jiuxiu helplessly, he really wanted to know what happened to his Jiumei, a person who was usually so smart, would be so confused sometimes, "Jiumei, what are you talking about, how could I I will sacrifice your happiness to find a backer for myself. I am just saying something in all fairness, maybe the Ninth Prince is really not as miserable as you think in your heart. Besides, this matter is already settled, so I just think I want you to accept this matter, at least you will feel better in your heart."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. It turned out that she had misunderstood Qiao Shaotang, but she couldn't completely blame her.Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu's face was still pale, Qiao Shaotang felt even more distressed, "Jiumei, think about it carefully, if you really don't want to marry, I will tell my wife later that I am her own child after all, and she should give it to me. A little face."

"No...no need." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed for a long time, this time the wife made up her mind, no matter who said it, it would have no effect at all.It's better for Qiao Shaotang not to offend his wife because of himself. If she hurts the harmony between their mother and son, then she will be guilty of a serious crime. "Brother, I thank you for your kindness. I think I just need a while to accept what fate has arranged for me."

Qiao Jiuxiu said with a wry smile, as if she was ready to accept the arrangement of fate, Qiao Shaotang felt extremely distressed when she saw it, but at the moment she didn't know what to say, so she could only choose to remain silent.The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and finally Qiao Shaotang could only slowly get up and leave.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, has she compromised?Perhaps there is still too much unwillingness in her heart, but under the oppression of fate, she is already powerless and does not want to resist.He could only close his eyes in a daze.In the dream, she seemed to have returned to her own era, the era that advocated free love.But when she opened her eyes, she was still lying on Li Huamu's bed, still living in this era that she was powerless to change.

She has no way to change everything in this era, but she doesn't want to, let herself accept the ruthless teasing of fate again and again, maybe one day, when she is really sleepy, she no longer wants to fight.
