Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 24
The old matriarch's face darkened, she knew that this granddaughter was not as gentle and harmless as she appeared on the surface.But this granddaughter is smart, knows what to say and what not to say, and knows that playing tricks on herself will only bore herself.Saying it so bluntly, although it made me feel uncomfortable, it would not cause any barriers to her frankness.She naturally believed what Qiu Mingzhu said, not to mention Yu's arrogant and savage temperament, even his mother, the eldest lady, was even more arrogant.In the early years, relying on the support of her ancestors, she didn't even pay attention to herself. What else would she not dare to do?As for Mingyue, that girl is calm and smart, and she will never beat Mingyu's maid for no reason, unless Mingyu has done something she cannot bear.Another one is that she is playing a trick.

Thinking of this, the old lady's face turned even darker.How could the ancestor of the Qiu family, Shangqingliu family, have such a vicious and corrupt son?Simply audacious.

"Mingyu is becoming more and more presumptuous." She stood up, "Come on, go—"

Before the old matriarch finished speaking, he saw Chen Xiang coming in a hurry, with a anxious and worried expression on his face.

"Old Madam, Da Furen wants to use family law against Aunt Shen."

The old lady's complexion changed, "Let's go to Furongyuan."

"Yes" Nanny Han shuddered in her heart, and quickly supported the other hand of the old lady.

"Grandmother." Qiu Mingzhu stepped forward, saluted, and said, "The "Diamond Sutra" you gave me a few days ago has not been finished by my granddaughter. She wants to review it again while it is still early."

The old matriarch glanced at her. This granddaughter is neither delicate nor artificial, smart but not ostentatious, restrained and calm.but...

After pondering for a while, the old lady nodded.

"Go."

After leaving the Shou'an Courtyard, Vanilla raised the question in her heart.

"Miss, the eldest lady is domineering, and Aunt Shen is favored. The third lady is savage, and the sixth lady is scheming. If you help the fifth lady today, it is tantamount to offending the eldest lady. From now on..." The so-called master knows his servant, Qiu Mingzhu has a Exquisite and clear-cut, as her maid, Vanilla is naturally not stupid.Be quick to offer your thoughts and concerns about what happened today.

Qiu Mingzhu looked at the old lady's leaving back, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, and suddenly said: "Xiangcao, how long have you been with me?"

Vanilla was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "This servant has been with Miss since she was three years old, and it has been more than ten years now."

"Ten years..." Qiu Mingzhu muttered to herself as her bright eyes were covered with a layer of white mist.

"Then do you still remember what my mother looked like?"

Vanilla was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale.

"Miss, your mother is the second wife, you..."

Qiu Mingzhu drooped her eyes, and there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes.Vanilla closed her mouth leisurely, her eyes showing distress.

"Miss, you... Aunt Fang knows that I don't want you to be so sad, you..." Xiangcao didn't know how to comfort the master, she stuttered and spoke intermittently. "Besides, the second lady has always treated you as her own, you..."

Qiu Mingzhu smiled wryly, "Take it as your own?" She sighed, "It's not your own, how can you treat it as if it's your own?" Her normally bright eyes suddenly became dark, like the light of a shooting star in the dark night, It's fleeting.

Vanilla was silent, and it took a while before she opened her mouth, and said softly: "Miss...why is Miss Fifth alone? She has only entered the Autumn Mansion for a few days, how do you know that she will definitely be able to help you?"

"She can." Qiu Mingzhu showed a firm look on her face, "I saw my shadow in her when I first met her that day. She was stubborn and endured humiliation. However, her fortitude and determination are absolutely incomparable to me. At the banquet that night, I sat at the banquet and watched her come in calmly. The room was full of jewels and emeralds, but it couldn't conceal her unique elegance. I knew that this was a woman who was extremely intelligent and restrained. Such a person, Not to mention it is in the Qiu Mansion, even in the entire capital and even the entire Dazhao, it is unique. If we really want to talk about it, I am afraid that there are only the two founding queens of the previous dynasty more than 500 years ago."

Vanilla was surprised that the master gave Miss Wu such a high evaluation, "If it is true what Miss said, then today's difficulties, I am afraid that Miss Fifth should have other countermeasures."

"She will save the day." Qiu Mingzhu said indifferently, with a faint smile in her eyes.

"You and I hid behind the pillars just now, I'm afraid she has already found out."

"What?" Vanilla exclaimed in surprise, a little unbelievable.

Qiu Mingzhu showed admiration and admiration, "Don't say it's you, even I can't believe that Fifth Sister has such a strong keen consciousness. If I'm not wrong, she didn't expose it just now. My choice. If I help her, we will be friends and not enemies from now on. If I turn around and leave in silence, she will treat me like all the wolves, tigers and leopards in the entire Qiufu in the future." She smiled slightly, smiling There is an unconcealed exclamation and sympathy.

"Miss Wu is so sure that Miss is helping her?" Vanilla continued to ask.

Qiu Mingzhu turned around and walked towards her yard.

"A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I am the same as Fifth Sister. No matter how prosperous the Qiu family is, we are nothing more than little concubine daughters. We have no power or power. She has nothing but the love of my grandmother and uncle. Faced with the eldest aunt who has a strong family, if she does not seek help, even if she has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to protect Aunt Shen and her fifth brother. I can see through these situations, and she can see clearly. From some aspects Speaking, Fifth Sister and I are actually the same kind of people. We can be sisters, and naturally we can also be allies."

Xiang Cao followed behind, "But Miss has always been alone in the mansion, and never got involved in any disputes in order to protect herself. In this way, wouldn't Miss's years of patience be in vain?"

Qiu Mingzhu paused, then continued to move forward.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Sooner or later, I will be in this pool of spring water. Since I can't escape, why be afraid to face it? At least, I am not alone now."

Xiang Cao thought for a while, and then said: "Then how can Miss Wu be sure that Fifth Miss will accept your affection?"

Qiu Mingzhu smiled, "It's not because of my love, but because she will give me a chance to cooperate with her."

Vanilla stopped talking.

After the two turned around the corridor, a pale green figure turned out from behind the pillar.She didn't turn around until the corner of the fluttering skirt disappeared, and headed towards Xueyue Pavilion.

As soon as Qiu Mingyue returned to Xueyue Pavilion, she ran into the eldest lady's personal servant girl, Huobi.I saw her nostrils upturned, with a cold and mocking expression on her face.

"Miss Fifth, my wife invites you to Furong Courtyard."

There is no need to guess, Qiu Mingyue also knows what the eldest lady wants to do.She stopped Nanny Sun and Hong E who wanted to follow, and just nodded lightly.

"Okay, tortoiseshell girl, wait a minute, I'll go in and change my clothes, and I'll go with you."
