Chapter 347 348. What are you afraid of?

Seeing Jin Qianqian preparing to return to the carriage, Xiao Shiyu quickly said, "Madam, don't you want to know about what happened between Lord Gu and my sister?"

Jin Qianqian pursed her lips, "Ms. Huang, please be careful with your words. Our master's reputation is not something that anyone can talk about."

"What are you afraid of, ma'am? Some things have to be resolved."

Jin Qianqian looked at Xiao Shiyu, who did not behave like a lady from a wealthy family. She leaned forward slightly and asked with disdain, "The eldest daughter of the Xiao family has a good upbringing, but she has changed her career and become a brothel owner.

It's a pity that you may not understand this business thoroughly enough. It's not a good deal to rush into this business. Be careful not to lose everything."

Jin Qianqian's ridicule made Xiao Shiyu look unhappy.

If it were a few years ago, she would definitely have disdained such a trivial matter.

But things are different now. Not to mention that her father is pressing her to find a way to convince the Huang family to give him a promotion. Her husband has made no progress in these years, and she also wants to have more cards to hold on to and pave a way out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shiyu took a deep breath, "Madam Gu just loves to joke around. I believe Madam doesn't want Mr. Gu's romantic affairs to spread all over Kyoto, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you lost your temper so quickly, even threatening me?" Jin Qianqian shook her head and laughed, "I am not afraid of trouble. Compared with my master's romantic affairs, I think the news that she poisoned her husband's mother and son and wanted to marry into a wealthy family to be his concubine may be more popular.

I just wonder if your Xiao family's reputation will be ruined by then, and whether your newly born niece and you will be implicated?"

Xiao Shiyu's eyes widened, and her heartbeat quickened. "How can you say such nonsense? Do you have any evidence?"

Seeing her reaction, Jin Qianqian felt more confident and tapped her chest. "You should ask yourself that."

After saying this, his face straightened up, "Don't think that you can manipulate others at will. Some things will leave traces after they are done.

I'm not the type to meddle in other people's business, but some people are always so unconscious, so I don't mind playing along with them."

Xiao Shiyu's pupils shrank slightly. She and her mother only had some guesses about the mother and son of the Niu family, but they tried many methods and could not find any evidence. She did not expect that Madam Gu seemed to know something.

Quickly shaking off the thought in her mind, Xiao Shiyu immediately said righteously, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. You will harm innocent lives."

Jin Qianqian was playing with the jade necklace in her hand. The gemstones on it were exactly what General Zhou had sent her some time ago. When strung together like this, they had a different kind of beauty.

But such beauty was so dazzling in Xiao Shiyu's eyes. Even when she got married, she only had two small gems in the bottom of the box. Until now, she was reluctant to take them out to make jewelry. She didn't expect that someone would have a long string of them to play with.

"How do you know I don't have evidence? When the time comes, it won't be up to you or me to decide whether everyone is innocent or not."

Jin Qianqian felt that stopping and wasting time today was not a waste of time. Looking at his face, he looked like he was about to start a dyeing room. He was indeed a little immature. If her mother came here, she might not be so easy to scare.

It seems that I am not the only one who has doubts, this mother and daughter must have noticed it as well.

It’s a pity that the person who was released now has not found any evidence, otherwise she really wants to beat the person to death at once.

Xiao Shiyu pinched her fingers on her palms to make herself clearer and no longer be deceived by the other party, "Madam Gu, let's not beat around the bush. Master Gu and my sister have met several times in private. As the lady of the house, you can't be so tolerant.

Look at all the officials in the capital, which one of them doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Although my concubine sister has been married once, she was once the daughter of a prefect, so she can help you share some of the burdens when she enters the house.

The waters in Beijing are very deep, and a country girl like you may not be able to handle it."

Since everyone already knows the truth, Xiao Shiyu might as well just speak out loud and maybe the other party will have some reservations.

Jin Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed, "Although I am a village woman, at least I know how to write propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

I have never seen an elder sister recommending her younger sister to be a concubine to others.

This lady can clearly reject you right now. If you think your sister is suitable to be a concubine, there are so many grown men in your house, can't you just arrange one for her?

After all, sisters live in the same house and can help each other.

Well, maybe they could even work together as a husband and become a good story.

Okay, you've kept me here for a long time today, I'm not interested in talking to you anymore, get out of the way!"

"You have such a picky mouth," Xiao Shiyu was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the coachman pulled the reins at Jin Qianqian's signal, and the carriage moved. She was so scared that she quickly stepped aside.

"Madam Huang, you have been blocking my way for so long. If you continue to pester me, I will no longer care whether the carriage will hit you or not."

Seeing the other party staring down at her condescendingly and calling herself "Madam", Xiao Shiyu knew that she was being reminded of the difference in their identities.

Although she is still a commoner now, she has the Minister of Justice behind her. How dare Jin...

Watching the other side's carriage go away, she could only stamp her feet in hatred and walk towards the maids and old women who were guarding beside her.

"Young Madam, are we going back home now?" Seeing that Xiao Shiyu looked unhappy, the leading maid stepped forward and asked.

"Let's go and meet my good sister first." Xiao Shiyu turned and walked into the private room of the teahouse where she had just wanted to invite Jin Qianqian.

"Sister, where is she?" Xiao Wanyu looked behind her. "Didn't we ask someone to find out if she would pass by here? Didn't anyone stop her?"

Xiao Shiyu looked at her gloomily, "Stop it. Besides, this village woman is not as stupid as you investigated before. She may have something on you. Are you sure you still want to provoke her?"

"What, what evidence? I only met her once before, and there is no way I have any connection with him. How can there be any evidence?"

He Wanyu was secretly shocked. Could it be that the people sent out last time really went to cause trouble? But they just didn't succeed.

She also felt that it was not right. Her father had scolded her for this matter at the time, so where did she get any evidence?

"You are still pretending to be stupid here. Was it you who did the killing to the mother and son of the Niu family?" Xiao Shiyu stared at her closely. She had to get to the bottom of this matter today. Otherwise, if it got out one day, the entire Xiao family would have to bear the consequences.

She is just a little concubine's daughter. If she and her brother were to be implicated because of her, she and her mother would definitely not agree.

Xiao Wanyu, "Isn't this nonsense? The master had a sudden illness, and the old lady couldn't bear the shock and died by hitting her head against the wall."
