Liangchen ignored his master's accusing look and said, "Third Miss, our eldest mistress still has a lot of private collections, many antiques and original works by famous artists." He almost waved a small handkerchief and shouted to Lu Xiang to come and get it next time.

Well……

Lu Xiang took the painting and looked at Qiao Jingru with some sympathy, "Sister-in-law, your maid has ruined the whole family without blinking an eye."

"Sister-in-law, your uncles, aunts and brothers of the Qiao family really love you." Lu Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In her previous life, she had not been able to collect a few antiques and famous works, but Qiao Jingru actually had so many.

Seeing how Liangchen opened his mouth so casually, there might be more to him than she imagined.

If the entire Qiao family didn't love their daughter very much, how could they be willing to part with her?

"Jealous."

Qiao Jingru stopped chatting with Lu Xiang and pulled her to sit down affectionately. She ordered tea to be served and asked, "What are you jealous of?"

Lu Xiang: "I'm jealous that you have money."

"Well, I also think I'm quite rich."

"You will make me want to rob you." Lu Xiang said with a smile: "The Lu family is not easy to manage, and Mrs. Liu will not settle down. She will definitely cause trouble for you. Sister-in-law, please be careful."

"Well, I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you're in a hurry, I'll hug you."

Lu Xiang looked at her doubtfully.

Qiao Jingru pointed at her: "You, my grandmother is hurting me at home, and the queen is supporting me outside. I'm going to be bullied. Remember to vent your anger for me."

Lu Xiang smiled at her and said, "Then I think your little treasure may not be enough to give it to me."

Qiao Jingru squinted at her and said, "Can you please be kind to me?"

Lu Xiang laughed and clasped his fists at her: "Then I wish my sister-in-law a great victory and kill everyone?"

"You bastard, grandma asked you to help me, don't think about being lazy."

"Sister-in-law, I'm still young, so I shouldn't be so distracted." Lu Xiang took off her hands and cheeks and acted cute towards Qiao Jingru.

Qiao Jingru's speechless mouth trembled, and she said angrily: "If you don't waste your time, your Qixia Courtyard will soon be reduced to a sieve. People with evil intentions will be caught out and dealt with quickly. It will be a problem for a long time."

Why did Aunt Liu know that Lu Xiang had a mine and made a profit of one thousand taels, and she also gave her the money, which made it clear that there was someone in Qixia Courtyard who couldn't stand the temptation and was bribed. This time she just betrayed a piece of news. What about next time?

Qiao Jingru couldn't help but tremble just thinking about it.

Although Lu Xiang has been serving the people around her since she was a child, she is still young, so it is inevitable that she cannot take care of them sometimes. She still needs an experienced mother to take care of her servants.

"Grandma always loves you, why don't you ask grandma to choose a mother who you can trust to serve you?" Qiao Jingru said.

Lu Xiang waved her hand and took a calm sip of tea: "No, sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion. I deliberately revealed this matter. I don't know the new maids, and I am worried that their minds will become more active as time goes by.

I got up, so I took the opportunity to give them a try. If this matter is not revealed, then I will have a few loyal girls. This is a good thing. If the news is revealed, the worst thing is that someone will tell my father and let him question me.

, then I just took this opportunity to ask you to take charge of the house. My father's anger is just because we made money but didn't use it to let him go out and manage it. But as long as you take charge of the house, the money you get from the profit will be used for public use, and the only thing you can do to him is

The good thing is, after he figures it out, he will just want you to take over as soon as possible."

"As long as you know what you're doing," Qiao Jingru said with a gentle smile, "My sister-in-law has kept it in mind that you worked for my benefit this time. When you come out of the cabinet in the future, I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you and marry you into a grand marriage.

.”

"Why don't you wait until I get married and give me half of your private treasure?" Lu Xiang winked at her and smiled maliciously.

Qiao Jingru wished she could slap herself in the face and tell you to speak quickly. You managed to divert the topic away, but why did you come back again?

"Here you go, here you go... I will sew Liangchen's mouth from tomorrow to make this girl talk too much." Qiao Jingru said angrily.

Lu Xiang laughed loudly, and after eating, he took away a jade chess set from Qiao Jingru's room. The chess pieces were all polished with white jade and black jade, and even the chess board was made of jade.

This rare treasure made Qiao Jingru dumbfounded and asked Ding's mother to complain: "Why didn't I realize that this girl is a bandit at heart?"

Mother Ding covered her mouth and smiled softly: "The third young lady is very close to you, master. Look at the other courtyard in our house. If we ask the third young lady to get it, she still doesn't like it."

And master, don’t you yourself also dote on the third lady?

At night, the moon flickered slightly, but the moonlight was extremely bright, pouring down like mercury.

Lu Xiang returned to Qixia Courtyard and saw Hongyin and Yuxiang carrying buckets to the small kitchen.

"Miss Third." Hongyin and Yuxiang called with salutes.

Lu Xiang nodded slightly, then stared at the two of them thoughtfully, and after a while she said: "Hongyin, if you don't want to stay in Qixia Courtyard, you can tell me and I won't embarrass you."

The cold moonlight fell in Lu Xiang's dark eyes, like bits of broken light overflowing, glowing with coldness.

Hongyin's expression froze, and she suddenly became at a loss: "Miss Third, I'm here... I'm not here."

"Don't worry, come and tell me anytime you think about it." Lu Xiang smiled faintly and then returned to the house.

Yun Zhe couldn't help but look back at the uneasy Hongyin, and asked softly: "Miss, do you suspect that Hongyin told Aunt Liu?"

"Don't talk nonsense if there is no evidence." Lu Xiang said.

Yun Zhe nodded understandingly, she understood.

In the yard, Hongyin thought about what Lu Xiang had just said, feeling angry and scared, and her face turned pale.

Upon seeing this, Yuxiang patted her shoulder gently and said, "I'll send the water to the kitchen. You go back to the house first."

Hongyin was a little confused, but after hearing what Yuxiang said, she nodded and went back.

Not long after, Yuxiang and Hibiscus entered Hongyin's house.

When Hongyin saw the two of them, her suppressed panic suddenly leaked out, and her beautiful face was almost deformed with grievance: "What did Miss Third mean by what she just said? Is she trying to drive me away?"

Mujin looked at Yuxiang in confusion: "Miss San said she wanted to chase Hongyin away?"

Yuxiang shook her head, the candlelight shone on her face, dancing with a soft light: "I didn't say that, I just said that if Hongyin wants to leave, just say it, she won't be embarrassed, and we can't guess whether the third lady is

What do you mean?"

Mu Jin frowned, and suddenly thought of something, staring at Hongyin: "I heard that Aunt Liu revealed to the master that the third lady had a mine in her hands that made money but kept it secret, did you tell me about this?

Aunt Liu’s?”

Hongyin was startled by Hibiscus's horrifying gaze. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I didn't say that."

This matter spread around the house in the afternoon, and the old lady lost her temper in Mingjiao Courtyard. For this reason, the third young lady and the old master proposed to ask the eldest young lady to take charge of the house.
