Chapter 3

Women have a natural love for jewelry.When Mrs. Xu gave this small box of jewelry to Xiao Qingmei, who was only three years old, she felt somewhat guilty.But now that three years have passed, the Xu family has no more correspondence, and this box of jewelry has really become a witness to break the friendship between their mother and daughter.

The plum blossom necklace in the jewelry box is the most exquisite, suitable for children to wear.But as long as you find a goldsmith and process it properly, girls of fourteen or fifteen can still wear it.Qiuyue has been coveting Qingmei's box of jewelry for a long time, but she has been guarded by housekeeper Cui so tightly that she has never had a chance to get her hands on it. The most delicate and most valuable item in the jewelry box is this plum blossom necklace.

Holding the box, Qingmei quietly walked to the jar of saponin powder, and accidentally kicked the jar down.

Qiuyue's willow eyebrows stood on end, Qingmei quickly squatted down to support the jar, and carefully placed the jar in a wooden basin beside her.

Qingmei clapped her hands, and whispered: "Sister Qiuyue, Qingmei knows that she is stupid. If she invites other female red masters to come, she will definitely leave after a few days of teaching."

Qiuyue snorted coldly, thinking: No way!And the most important thing is that your reputation as an evil star has spread all over the world. It is still a question of whether someone is willing to teach you, and only my life is not good, hey...

"Sister Qiuyue has always taken care of me kindly. I am still a child, and there are many jewelry here that I don't need. Feel free to take whichever sister Qiuyue likes." Qingmei said cautiously.

Qiuyue swallowed her saliva, wiped her hands long ago, picked and picked in the wooden box, and the first thing she took was the plum blossom necklace.But this jade bracelet is also good, and the peony hairpin is also top-notch...

For a moment, she was dazzled and reluctant to part with it.

Qingmei looked at her face quietly, and said again: "How about this, this box of jewelry will be given to Sister Qiuyue."

Qiuyue was shocked: "This..."

Qingmei said: "I'm still young, I don't need these things. Besides, Sister Qiuyue has always taken care of me so hard, I should take it as a thank you."

Qiuyue knows that Qingmei only needs to find herself to learn embroidery.She has such a reputation that no one is willing to teach her, but she is also a daughter of everyone. If she can't even know how to be a female celebrity, she will definitely be laughed at if she really goes back one day in the future.

Qiuyue figured this out, pretended to evade it a few times, and took the whole box away, "What kind of designs and colors do you like in the future, miss, just come to me." After getting the jewelry box, Qiuyue didn't even want to wash her clothes anymore. All he could think about was how to hide this box of jewelry so that no one else would find out.

But Qingmei is still here, Qiuyue said: "Miss, let's go back."

Qingmei whispered: "I'll wait for Cui Jing to go back together."

Qiuyue knows that she and Cui Jing have a good time, and this road is also the only way for Cui Jing to go to school. Seeing the weather, Cui Jing is coming soon.Moreover, he had always walked with Doctor Wen. Qiuyue still remembered being scolded by Doctor Wen last time. She didn't want to be scolded again, so she hurried away with her clothes and wooden tub.

Until the shadow of Qiuyue could not be seen, Qingmei still stood by the lake.

She looked up at the sky.The sky is very blue, a sight that cannot be seen in the world of steel and concrete.After looking at such a white and blue sky for a long time, Qingmei felt that what she did next was indeed a bit sinister.But she was not a good person, she was a mercenary, and when she died, a grenade shrapnel cut the carotid artery.But she has her own set of morals, for example, no matter what order she accepts, she will never choose to kill children, nor will she persecute the elderly, except for godfathers of course.She would accept arms smuggling, but not drug trafficking.Obviously they are all bad things, but Qingmei still stubbornly uses her own theory to separate these things into doable and undoable things!Qiuyue's existence seriously threatened her life, and no one could guarantee whether it would be dog blood or crane crest red that would be fed to her next time!Fortunately, there is no fingerprint identification in this era, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to frame her.

Qing Mei counted the time and took a sharp breath.I stepped on the soap locust powder that was intentionally sprinkled on the ground before, and slipped into the water without paying attention.

In the previous life, Xiao Qingmei couldn't swim, but in this life, Xiao Qingmei could!
After soaking in the water for a while, she heard Cui Jing's loud voice.Qingmei plunged into the water suddenly, pretending to be drowning.

"Help—help... ah..."

Cui Jing was talking to Dr. Wen about what Mr. said today, when he heard the cry for help from the lake, his face turned pale, "No, it's Qingmei!"

With that said, he threw off the cloth bag on his body and ran to the lake.Qingmei was struggling by the lake, her little hands kept thumping.The water had already overflowed her head, but she was still thrashing desperately, and the water around her kept turning over.

"save……"

Before the words came out, another mouthful of water was choked in.

Cui Jing's anxious eyes were red, and he jumped into the water regardless.Dr. Wen grabbed the collar, "Don't die!"

Cui Jing shouted: "But Qingmei..."

Dr. Wen jumped into the water, grabbed Qing Mei, and swam to the shore.

"Mr. Wen, Qingmei..." Cui Jing stood around and turned around in a hurry.

Dr. Wen took a breath, he was already sixty years old, but because he was proficient in the way of maintaining his health, he was now in good health, so it would not be a problem to save a girl like Qingmei who was thin and weak.

"Stand aside, you won't die!"

Cui Jing always respected Elder Wen, so he stepped aside quickly.

Dr. Wen pressed Qingmei, and Qingmei spit out a few sips of water, and she was relieved.Seeing the two people beside him, he hugged Doctor Wen and cried loudly.Doctor Wen patted her on the back lightly to comfort her.Cui Jing hurriedly untied her coat and handed it over. Dr. Wen wrapped her up, picked her up and walked towards Biezhuang.

Soon everyone knew that Qingmei had drowned again.When Qiuyue heard it, she was shocked. The place where Qingmei fell into the water was where she washed clothes. Why did that disaster fall into the water again?It's fine to drown, so they still have a reason to be in the capital!But to be rescued by Doctor Wen, it really is a disaster!

Butler Cui ran back and asked the maid to change Qingmei and Doctor Wen into clean clothes.Doctor Wen prescribed a prescription for people to take the medicine to suppress the shock and relieve the cold.After drinking half a bowl of the green plum he fed, he took another pulse, and then nodded reassuringly.

Qingmei sobbed for a while, but her eyes scanned all the people in the room.Mother Liu, Qiu Ju and several maidservants were all in the room, but Qiuyue didn't know where she went.

In her previous life, Xiao Qingmei was only six years old, and she didn't understand that she was under the sting of these maids, but she is different, revenge must be revenged!
Qing Mei immediately burst into tears, which really scared the people around her.Steward Cui hurriedly said and picked her up: "Miss, what's the matter? What happened?"

Qingmei couldn't stop crying, saying intermittently: "Qiu... sister Qiuyue..."

Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, it was Qiuyue, so it had nothing to do with her this time.

Although Steward Cui didn't understand what happened for the time being, since Qingmei mentioned Qiuyue, he immediately said: "Send someone to bring Qiuyue here!"

After a while, the servant girl who was looking for someone hurried over: "It's not good, Qiuyue...Qiuyue is gone!"

Butler Cui's face changed: "It's gone?! Go after him, let the servant ride a fast horse to chase after him!"

The servant outside the door got the order and hurried to the stable.All the maids in the room were silent, Cui Steward could probably guess that this matter was a big deal, otherwise with Qiuyue's temperament, it would be impossible to abscond.He glanced at the maids in the room lightly, and everyone was terrified.

Cui Guanjia only heard: "Miss has such a thing, do you still have the face to stand?!"

Ms. Liu stepped forward: "That's not..." Butler Cui glared sharply, and Ms. Liu closed her mouth.

The other maids looked at each other, "Putong—" they knelt on the ground, and Mother Liu stood there for a while, but finally felt that it was too conspicuous, so she also knelt down, scolding Qiuyue eight hundred times in her heart.

In less than an hour, the servant escorted Qiuyue back.Qiuyue was still yelling: "Why do you arrest me, I just went to pick some wild flowers, isn't that okay?!"

When Qingmei saw Qiuyue, she immediately burrowed into Butler Cui's arms. She had a pale face, and the fear on her face made others look even more pitiful.

Watching this scene, Steward Cui already knew that Qingmei's falling into the water this time had something to do with Qiuyue.While patting Qingmei's back lightly, he turned his head and said sharply: "What happened?!"

Qiuyue gritted her teeth, she was thinking of wishful thinking, and with Qingmei's physique, it would take at least three or four days to wake up after drowning, so she would have escaped without a trace, and lived a prosperous life with Qingmei's box of jewelry day.But she made a mistake, now Qingmei is not only not drowning, but also a good swimmer!
"It was found from her body!" The servant at the side handed over the wooden box.

Steward Cui glanced at it suddenly, feeling that the box looked familiar.Opening it suspiciously——

"Crack!" The wooden box closed!The loud voice surprised everyone - so what?
"You greedy poisonous woman, tell me how this box of jewelry came about!"

Madam Liu looked up, and gasped in her heart—oh boy, Qiuyue got Qingmei's jewelry.This girl actually wants to swallow it all by herself!Hmph, it's up to you now!
Qiuyue immediately told about Qingmei going to the lake alone to find her to learn embroidery, and said that this box of jewelry was given to her by Qingmei.Qiuyue's embroidery skills are high, which is well known by Mr. Shonai.It is well known that Qingmei wanted to learn embroidery from her, but Qiuyue kept refusing it.Now with this box of jewelry, Qingmei's desire to learn embroidery from Qiuyue is more convincing.

Everyone looked up at Steward Cui, Qingmei took the opportunity to wave her little hand, and cried, "Water...Qingmei is afraid of water!" Oh, sure enough, people always make wrong decisions when they are in a panic.She thought that Qiuyue would hide the jewelry box she gave her immediately, but she didn't expect her to lose her head and come up with the bad idea of ​​running away!
Steward Cui looked at her distressedly, and coaxed softly: "Miss, tell me what happened. Don't be afraid, Grandpa Cui will help you!"

Qing Mei looked at the crowd cautiously, her emotions were almost brewing, and said in a low voice: "I went back to the room today and found that someone had moved in the room. I went to check the small wooden box my mother gave me, and found that the box was gone. I used to When I was looking for sister Qiuyue to learn embroidery, sister Qiuyue once said to me that she would teach me as long as I gave her the plum blossom necklace inside. Now that the box is gone, I wonder if sister Qiuyue took it away.”

"She's talking nonsense!" Qiuyue yelled loudly, "She's lying!"

Butler Cui slightly raised his eyelids, and the servant at the side immediately came over with a wooden board for slapping his mouth. Qiuyue closed her mouth immediately, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing that she was quiet, Qingmei continued: "I asked Sister Qiuju, and Sister Qiuju said that Qiuyue washes clothes by the lake."

Seeing Butler Cui looking at her, Qiu Ju nodded quickly, proving that what Qingmei said was right.

"Then I went over and asked Sister Qiuyue for my box. Sister Qiuyue said she was not with her, and then left with the clothes. I was about to chase, but my feet slipped and I fell into the water."

When everyone heard Qingmei say this, they probably understood a little bit.But this doesn't prove that Qingmei was pushed into the water by Qiuyue, even Qiuyue herself breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Wen suddenly laughed.

Butler Cui was puzzled: "Old Wen, you are..."

Doctor Wen stood up: "This vicious girl made a trick to make Qing Mei fall into the river!"

Everyone was surprised—what's the explanation?
Doctor Wen said: "Qingmei is afraid of water, if it wasn't because this box of jewelry is extremely important to her, she would never go to the river."

Butler Cui nodded, he naturally knew the significance of the jewelry box to Qingmei, and motioned him to continue talking.

"Qiuyue's tricks, killing people invisibly! She is also a big girl, why did she sprinkle a large piece of saponin powder on the stones by the river when she washed her clothes. Qingmei said that her foot slipped, you go and see that The stones by the river will understand why their feet slipped all of a sudden!"

Everyone had an epiphany, Qiuyue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of Qingmei's actions by the lake.She roared at the top of her lungs: "I didn't splash that, the saponin jar was kicked by the young lady herself, it's none of my business, it's the young lady who set me up!"

"Miss doesn't even dare to get close to the water, how could she kick your pot!" Cui Butler slammed the wooden table, his arms tightened, and he found that Qingmei was holding on to his clothes tightly, presumably it scared her just now up.

Qiuyue knelt on the ground, she looked up at Qingmei, and Qingmei also looked at her, looking at her with aggrieved eyes, but there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.Qiuyue trembled all over and sat on the ground, shivering.What should I do, can I just let Qingmei's dead girl pour dirty water on her head like this?She raised her head and looked towards the crowd, her eyes immediately fell on Mother Liu.

Mother Liu was startled—no, this girl is going to do something bad!
