Yun Qiao was lying on the balcony on the second floor, and the milky white railing was just big enough for her to cling to.

It's cold in spring, and the gentle breeze lifts the curtains of the long window, letting in the warm sunshine and the golden light.

She listened carefully and vaguely heard the conversation on the first floor.

After leaving the house, Yun Qiao closed the door and called his maid Chang Ning to the room.

"Go to Uncle Qian and ask him to check the information I want." Yun Qiao pulled out a jade sign and said, "This is a pair of cards. Let him hurry up and check it out."

The maid Chang Ning said yes.

Soon, the entire Xi family knew that the fourth wife Du's daughter from her ex-husband was going to be the concubine of the second wife's nephew.

No one was surprised.

"How can Yun Qiao, with her foxy face, be on the big stage? She was born to be a toy for men to laugh at and amuse themselves."

"The Liu family is a wealthy family. I heard that the second wife's brother now has a high position in the cabinet and seems to be the chief minister."

The second wife’s maiden name is Liu.

"So powerful? Yun Qiao is really cheap. There are many ladies who are more prominent than her, but they still can't be the concubine of Young Master Liu."

"Young Master Liu's wives and concubines are all in Nanjing and will not go to Yancheng to pick him up. If he buys a family property here, the concubine here can follow him to socialize and socialize. How can he be worse than his wife?"

The servants all said that Yun Qiao was too high up.

Except for the governor, the second master, and the seventh master are direct descendants of the Xi family, the other masters are all concubines.

Now that we are in the Republic of China, the old rules of a wealthy family have long been trampled on. Not to mention the servants, other heads of households are also envious.

"What's the use of a false name? It depends on the actual benefits."

If Yun Qiao hadn't been so beautiful, such good things wouldn't have happened to her.

Du Xiaoqin learned all these words from Yun Qiao.

"There is no one who doesn't envy you."

Yun Qiao was sitting on the corner of the sofa, with her head propped up on her elbows and a book on her knees. She lowered her eyelashes without raising her eyes, like a still statue.

The statue is made of white jade and is carefully carved.

"What did you say?" Du Xiaoqin saw that she had been lazy and expressionless, so he snatched her book over.

It's actually a book in a foreign language.

Du Xiaoqin looked at the crooked characters and couldn't identify which country they were from. Can Yun Qiao understand them?

No wonder she didn't move for a long time, it turned out to be just pretending.

Du Xiaoqin was a little funny, but also very upset. Yun Qiao imitated her grandmother's attitude. And Du Xiaoqin hated that old woman all her life.

"Who spread the rumor?" Yun Qiao finally blinked, his eyes sparkling like a demon about to act.

Du Xiaoqin felt very uncomfortable when she saw her: "No one deliberately spread the news. I have told you a long time ago that you must be careful in your words and deeds when living in the Xi family. You can't hide anything in the family."

"I always feel that someone deliberately broke the news and made it known to everyone, as if they were afraid that you would regret it."

Du Xiaoqin: "You can't always think the worst of people. This character is too annoying."

Yun Qiao glanced at her.

Her eyes were faint, as if she could see through Du Xiaoqin's skin and flesh, reaching deep into her soul, which made Du Xiaoqin feel uncomfortable all over.

"I shouldn't have brought her back in the first place!" Du Xiaoqin regretted again.

The reason why he agreed at that time was because he was afraid that Yun Qiao would not give her the old lady's belongings.

She can't steal it openly.

Moreover, the countryside was the territory of Yun Qiao and her grandmother, and Du Xiaoqin might not be able to win it, so she had no choice but to agree to Yun Qiao's request.

She regretted it very much.

The only way to make up for it is to marry her off as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

Of course, you should not marry too poorly, lest you cause trouble in the future and lose your best relatives.

While mother and daughter were chatting, Yun Qiao's maid Chang Ning came in, and Du Xiaoqin took the opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.

In the middle of the afternoon, Yun Qiao was going out.

Du Xiaoqin asked her where she was going, and Yun Qiao said calmly: "I'm going to the second room to meet the second wife."
