The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

The girl who came was Qiuyan, a big maid in Zhuangzi. Although her status was not as high as that of Zhang Lan, she still had a bit of face. On New Year's Eve, it was unprecedented for Qiuyan to deliver meals. It must be that Zhang Lan seemed to be very concerned about Miss Jiang's family who was ill in bed in order to silence everyone.

When Qiu Yan put down the food basket, she also quickly looked around the house. This was the first time she came to Jiang Ruan's house, and she saw a dilapidated and decayed atmosphere in the small house, and there were even leaks in the eaves. There are traces of rainwater seeping into the wall, the quilt on the bed is extremely thin, not to mention the furnishings, even the ordinary utensils are very dilapidated. Living in such a damp and dark room, it is strange that the body is not weak. From a glance, it looked like a lady's boudoir, even the most humble servant in Zhuangzi would not be so shabby.

Qiuyan has been immersed in the mansion for a long time, and she knows in her heart that although the Zhang Lan family is greedy and harsh, if they don't have the will of the superiors, they will definitely not dare to treat a lady like this. Since it was the master's intention, Qiu Yan would naturally not intervene.

"Your name is Qiuyan." The person on the bed spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, but it carried a strange and subtle emotion.

Qiuyan raised her head and said with a smile, "It's the servant girl."

Zisu and Lianqiao were guarding Jiang Ruan, and the other was staring at Qiuyan closely. In their view, except for the three masters and servants, everyone else in this village had ulterior motives.

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Tonight is New Year's Eve. Sister Qiuyan's clothes are festive and tight. They look really good."

These words were a bit strange, Qiuyan couldn't figure it out, but she still smiled and said: "My aunt ordered me to do it, and this servant is just a servant. In terms of good looks, the girl is really joking."

Jiang Ruan sighed softly: "Aunt Lan really has a heart, has Zhuangzi made new clothes from top to bottom?"

Her voice was soft and smiling, and Qiuyan subconsciously nodded her head in agreement, but suddenly realized that Zhuangzi made new clothes from top to bottom, but only the three masters and servants in front of him were left out. from. Just about to prevaricate, I heard Jiang Ruan say softly: "The two maids beside me are clumsy, and they are not as festive as Sister Qiuyan's clothes. There is a sentence that Sister Qiuyan said wrong. I am not joking, Qiuyan Although my sister is a servant, she seems to live a more comfortable and decent life than me."

The words were too sharp, completely inconsistent with the master's gentle tone, and Qiu Yan felt nervous for no reason. She could not help raising her head to look at the person on the bed. The candle was dimly lit. The girl on the bed took the hot tea from Zisu. The mist from the tea covered half of her face. The long and drooping eyelashes draw a graceful arc, which is a bit strange.

Jiang Ruan's voice came with a smile: "Sister Qiuyan is so respectable. When she reaches her age in the future, she will be released to marry a good family. The second son of the horseman outside the city is very good. The second son of Ma already has twelve concubines. Sister Qiuyan is the thirteenth aunt in the row."

Qiu Yan was stunned, a coolness slowly rose from the soles of her feet, her whole face turned pale instantly, she bit her lip and stared at Jiang Ruan with wide eyes, unable to say a word.

Jiang Ruan was not in a hurry, she just brought the warm tea to her mouth and took a sip.

After a long while, Qiu Yan gathered up her courage, puffed up her chest and said, "I don't know what the girl is talking about." The first half of the sentence was justified, but the second half of the sentence felt guilty for some reason.

"Good birds choose trees to live in. People go to high places and water flows to low places. What Miss Qiuyan did is just human nature. Don't be shy." She tilted her head and smiled: "This is a good thing. Sister Qiuyan has really become the thirteenth concubine, and I will definitely give a gift of rouge. Sister Qiuyan is so respectable, and I think this dignity is also earned by Sister Qiuyan's cleverness."

Qiuyan stood where she was, and slowly clenched her fists. Jiang Ruan squeezed the center of her eyebrows: "I'll be sleepy after a while. I'm not in good health yet, so I can't personally say New Year blessings to Nanny Lan. Please ask Qiuyan to apologize for me." After finishing speaking, she told Zisu: "Don't go see sister Qiuyan off yet."

This is the order to evict guests. Qiuyan has no idea for a while, naturally hopes to leave this oppressive room immediately, so she nodded in panic, saying yes, never seeing the faint sense of superiority when she came again.

When Zisu and Qiuyan came to the door, Jiang Ruan said again: "By the way, sister Qiuyan, the clothes of the two maids I mentioned before, since it is the New Year, I also want to look at some of them." If you are interested, I ask Sister Qiuyan to think of a way to make them look more festive."

Qiuyan bit her lip: "Isn't it difficult for a girl to be forced to do so?"

"Sister Qiuyan is a smart person," Jiang Ruan interrupted her, "otherwise, what would you do with Thirteenth Aunt?"

Qiuyan's face turned pale again, and she said bitterly, "Yes."

After Zisu sent Qiuyan away, Lianqiao asked: "What happened to the girl just now? How did Qiuyan get involved with the second son of the horseman's family?"

"She and the Second Young Master Ma have been keeping secrets for a long time, now is the time to mix the oil with honey." Jiang Ruan said.

In the previous life, Qiuyan was caught in a relationship with the second son Ma a few years later, and the affair was exposed. The second son Ma was unscathed, but Qiuyan was soaked in a pig cage for life. Qiuyan has been tortured to the point of unconsciousness, and keeps saying that she is the thirteenth aunt of Ma Ergongzi's family. Presumably, when the love was strong, the Second Young Master Ma promised her in this way. It's just that Qiuyan still has no life to become the thirteenth aunt in the end, and Jiang Ruan naturally won't tell this matter.

Did Lianqiao suddenly realize: "No wonder she was so frightened, bah, she is such a lowly person, she is so shameless!" After all, she was a girl in her teens, and she blushed again: "It's just a girl, how do you know these things? Yes?"

Lianqiao's doubts were too deep, not only that, but she also found that Jiang Ruan seemed to be a different person today, she actually threatened Qiuyan so blatantly, even when she talked about these filthy things, she didn't even have a trace of expression on her face Strange, as if talking about a very common household.

Jiang Ruan usually has fewer chances to go out than she and Zisu, and there is endless work in the yard all year round. How can there be a chance to meet these things. Lianqiao was puzzled, but Jiang Ruan didn't answer her question, only said: "Lianqiao, do you want to stay here forever?"

"Of course I don't want to." Lian Qiao has a blunt and pungent temper, without thinking about it, she said: "Miss, don't worry, naturally she won't stay in Zhuangzi for a lifetime, and the master will come to pick up the girl in a few days."

Jiang Ruan smiled, she knew better than anyone else when she came to pick her up. She didn't have the patience to wait until then, and she didn't want to wait.

"Why wait, Qiuyan will send us back to Beijing soon."

Lian Qiao was taken aback, subconsciously went to look at Jiang Ruan, only to see the girl yawned gracefully again, under the straight bridge of the nose, the lips that had sipped the tea were ruddy and curved a small arc.
