Qiao Jingjing had already figured out Liu Ajiao's intentions.
"Who are you calling a colluder? Eighth Miss, you saw what happened to those two people who stole my things, so don't spout nonsense."
"Nonsense? If you don't believe me, ask your second young mistress if she has ever done anything wrong. Has she conspired with others to kidnap your sister?"
Upon hearing this, He Miaomiao completely lost face, even though her husband was right beside her.
Qiao Er jumped up and shouted, "You're spouting nonsense! Miss Liu, even though you are the daughter of the prefect, you can't slander our Miaomiao like this. My Miaomiao was treated like a servant in your house back then, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
As he spoke, Qiao Er also adopted the mannerisms of a young master who kept servants.
He turned around and ordered his men to push Liu Ajiao out.
Liu Ajiao found this situation strange.
"Hehehe, hehe, come on, try it. I'm the one who always lays hands on others, never the other way around."
When my father-in-law was alive, I was the Crown Princess.
"Crown Princess, do you know? How could people like you, so lowly and subservient, ever meet the Crown Princess and the Princess?"
Liu Ajiao also brought up Yuan Shiyi, who was standing next to her.
Yuan Shiyi had no choice but to step in and appease both sides.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, you speak unclearly, no wonder the Second Young Master is anxious."
After being persuaded by Yuan Shiyi, Liu Ajiao swore to the heavens that if she uttered even the slightest lie, she would let the two men surnamed Li and Zhu who had been killed come back to find her, and she would confront the dead men.
Thus, Qiao Jingjing finally became convinced that He Miaomiao had done something wrong and had been keeping it a secret from the entire Qiao family.
But she didn't want Liu Ajiao to laugh at her.
“Young Miss, I, Qiao Jingjing, know what's important and what's not. We can lay bare the misunderstandings between me and Eighth Miss back then. Eighth Miss, you made things difficult for me, and I fought back, but you didn't gain the upper hand completely, and I suffered a lot of injustice. Since that's the case, let's call it even!”
My father and I already knew about my brother and sister-in-law's affair. The adults in the family had decided to let bygones be bygones. The Eighth Miss brought it up at this time, but we just listened to it as a story.
"Really, sister-in-law?"
Only after Qiao Jingjing had made her point clear did He Miaomiao dare to stand stiffly behind Qiao Er.
She lived in constant fear, afraid that the matter would be exposed sooner or later and that her family would settle scores with her.
Qiao Jingjing still tried to save face for Liu Ajiao.
He Miaomiao stepped forward and faced Liu Ajiao: "Eighth Miss, the matter is over."
My beloved sister Qiao served Prefect Liu diligently and made contributions to the people of Lujiang City, as everyone has witnessed. Many people in Lujiang City can attest to this. Even now, many agricultural officials still remember the good deeds of my sister Qiao and come to visit, discussing agriculture and commerce, and debating spring planting and autumn harvesting with her.
"Eighth Miss, no matter what, these merits cannot be erased with mere words."
Liu Ajiao looked at He Miaomiao.
Hey!
Chaos reveals true character; they really are one family, like grasshoppers on the same vine, all huddled together.
"become!"
Liu Ajiao just smiled.
"Yes, yes, it's because you, Da Qiao, are a well-known figure in my father's eyes, that's why I'm here to make peace with you."
Lu Meng snorted.
It was because the thugs Miss Liu brought were no match for Lü Meng.
Therefore, they had no choice but to turn hostility into friendship.
Yuan Shiyi was already very good at seizing the opportunity. She took Liu Ajiao's hand with one hand and held Qiao Jingjing's hand with the other.
"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's make up. From now on, we'll be close sisters. I'm new here, so I hope you and Miss Qiao will give me some guidance and not treat me like an outsider."
Then, Qiao Jingjing cooked a delicious meal for Yuan Shiyi, and Liu Ajiao benefited from it.
Grilled chicken breast, chicken wings, chicken tips, and chicken drumsticks.
Liu Ajiao had never tasted such delicious food before, and she ate with great relish.
Yuan Shiyi also ate a lot.
"It's so delicious! Da Qiao, if you had told me you had such skills, I wouldn't have had to chase you into the stables back then."
Why didn't you tell them sooner?
"Eighth Miss, you have such a bad memory. My elder sister clearly told everyone back then that she could make roast duck, but none of you wanted to listen. You thought that what my elder sister said was an insult to the dignity of a young lady of noble birth. You would rather go to the garden than stay with my elder sister."
Qiao Manman also brought up old stories from back then.
Liu Ajiao was swallowing a large chunk of chicken leg when a maid handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"I'll say it again, what happened back then wasn't my fault!"
Back then, Xiao Qiao, you and Da Qiao, when you two sisters went to Lu Kang's mansion, didn't you see everyone staring at you two with wide eyes?
"No wonder you stole the spotlight! You stole my thunder, so how can you blame me for making trouble for you!"
Liu Ajiao spoke with great conviction.
Yuan Shiyi said, "Sixth Sister-in-law is always the most popular, how could she be stolen away? Right, Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Jingjing nodded as well.
No wonder Liu Ajiao was willing to pretend to make peace with her today. Besides Lü Meng's fists being hard enough and her barbecue being delicious enough, it must also be because of her face, which left this scar.
It was late at night.
Qiao Jingjing sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the mark on her face.
As time has passed, it has slowly healed. The light red marks that were there before have now faded and blended into its original skin tone, becoming fair and smooth.
If carefully concealed and embellished, it cannot be seen clearly.
