Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 New Arrival
“Miss, how long has it been like this?” As Lian Qiao quietly asked Huang Qi, she secretly glanced at Qiao Xi, who was sitting in a corner and staring at a pile of weeds.
Huang Qi had been standing not far behind Qiao Yunxi. In her eyes, her young miss had always been like this, so she did not feel anything wrong. She said carelessly, “This is what happened after breakfast. Mammy came to see her twice and talked to her.”
Hearing this, Lian Qiao nodded her head at ease.
Her young miss had always been very introverted. Even when her master and madam were around, her young miss was still so dull.
Thinking of this, Lian Qiao sighed.
Young miss’s temper was not pleasing and she did not say much. She was better on eldest branch’s side, but in the old lady’s side, young miss’ temper was at a disadvantage.
Which elder doesn’t like juniors who are lively and can speak nice words?
Look at the young masters and young misses in the other bedrooms. Which one of them didn’t have their heads sharpened and leaned towards the matriarch’s side? Only the young miss always hid in the corner and occasionally choked on a sentence. She was the kind of person who would die from anger.
The matriarch did not like eldest branch, and the young miss’ temperament was so gloomy. The matriarch had never looked straight at the young miss.
This time, Miss was injured to honor Old Madame, but after Miss’s accident, not to mention Old Madame, even Mammy, who was by Old Madame’s side, did not come to see her. They went to the manor doctor on their own.
If it was Old Madame’s favorite fourth bedroom’s third young miss …
Lian Qiao looked at Qiao Yunxi worriedly, but he didn’t say anything.
She is just a servant, her duty is to take care of the young miss.
“Stay here and watch. I’ll go take a look in the kitchen.” After assigning a task to Astragalus membranaceus, Lian Qiao left the courtyard.
At this moment, Qiao Xi was facing the vibrant peppermint, trying her best to digest the information she had inherited from her true self last night.
Her true self, uh, was the one who occupied the nest. She was the daughter of the first wife of the Qiao Clan. She was ranked seventh in the family, and her name was Qiao Xi.
The Qiao Clan, an ordinary merchant clan, had a grandfather who knew how to do business, so the Qiao Clan flourished very quickly. It could be said that she had caught up with the peak of the Qiao Clan.
Now the head of the Qiao family was her father, the eldest master of the Qiao family, Qiao Xingbang. At this time, he was busy with her mother in the manor.
The Qiao Clan had four bedrooms. The second and third bedrooms were all born to Old Master Qiao’s concubines. Fourth Uncle Qiao Xingye was his father’s brother-in-law. The difference between the two of them was nearly ten years.
Qiao Xi also understood this reason.
Back then, Old Madame Qiao married into the Qiao Clan and had nothing to leave for seven years. In order to carry on the family line, Old Master Qiao took in a concubine. Not long after she entered the clan, she became pregnant with Old Madame Qiao and gave birth to Qiao Xingbang and Second Master Qiao. Third Master Qiao was also born by her concubine.
Little concubine relied on her two sons to jump around for a while, but Qiao Xingbang’s talent was outstanding since she was young, especially in business. Not only did she obtain Old Master Qiao’s direct inheritance, she also had a tendency to emerge from the blue and surpass the blue. Therefore, Old Madam Qiao’s position in the backyard was very stable.
When Qiao Xingbang was nine years old, Old Madam Qiao had a pair of phoenix and dragon fetuses!
Old Madame Qiao exhaled, and her position in Qiao Family was even more unshakable.
The rankings of the grandchildren of the Qiao Clan did not distinguish between men and women, and they were all ranked together. As the only child in the long house, Qiao Xi also understood the reason why she was ranked seventh.
On her head, eldest branch originally had a young master. Unfortunately, back then, her mother did not sit firmly in the womb. She died in the womb and even injured her body. She took a lot of medicine. She had several children in the other rooms before giving birth to Qiao Yunxi.
The population of the long house was simple. Qiao Xingbang did not have a concubine, nor did he have access to the house. Therefore, the life of a family of three was very warm.
Qiao Yunxi was very satisfied with this.
Although she was also curious, as the Qiao family’s eldest house, she hadn’t had any children for so many years, so Old Madam Qiao didn’t rush to urge her, nor did she arrange for concubines or households to be cleared. But on second thought, Old Madame Qiao was forced to agree to Old Master Qiao’s concubine because of “nothing” back then. She was also a woman. Old Madame Qiao should have understood her mother’s difficulties, so she didn’t make any arrangements, right?
However, it was not a good thing that there were no men in the long room.
So, Old Madame Qiao didn’t like to see their long bedroom?
Qiao Xi rubbed her chin. This question needed to be verified.
Qiao Xi said that she had the chance to meet her siblings.
As for the reason for her injury, Qiao Xi understood it from her conversation with Nanny Feng.
The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard bloomed. Old Madam Qiao liked to eat osmanthus cakes. Qiao’s Third Son Qiao Jinwen asked her to pick osmanthus flowers together. For some reason, she fell from a tree.
At that time, the maids were all there, and even Forsythia was there. She fell from the tree by herself.
