Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 33
Chapter 33 A Toast to Tea Under a Given Name
“Master, madam, this servant has cooked the ginseng soup and sent it to you.”
“Concubine Bai, you have a heart.”
“This is what this servant should do.” Concubine Bai’s eyes were always on Qiao Xingbang as she whispered.
Qiao Xingbang was irritated by the scarlet, naked, naked gaze. He said to Gu Jingshu, “I’ll go to the study and come back at dinner time.”
Gu Jingshu and Concubine Bai stood up and sent Qiao Xingbang out of the main courtyard before returning.
“Is Concubine Bai’s little life over?” Gu Jingshu finally asked.
Concubine Bai’s face turned red and she hurriedly said, “Madam, it’s already over.”
“Then you can go back and prepare. Master will go to the Peony House after dinner tonight.” Gu Jingshu said directly to Concubine Bai.
“Thank you, Madam.” Concubine Bai immediately lifted the corner of her skirt and brought the maidservant back to the Peony House to prepare.
Qiao Yunxi sat in his seat and looked at Gu Jingshu with disapproval.
She knew how helpless Gu Jingshu was, but she personally sent her husband to another woman’s bed …
She couldn’t accept it.
Gu Jingshu shook her head amusedly, “Is Qiao Qiao dissatisfied with her mother?”
“No.” Qiao Yunxi replied sullenly.
“Is that because you don’t have confidence in your father?”
Haha.
How could he be confident in such a thing?
Even though it wasn’t good to say that, men were all animals that were thinking in the lower half of their bodies, not to mention Baba was the one who delivered them to their door?
It was not a man who suffered when he was really in bed.
Besides, men in this period were already three wives and four concubines. It didn’t matter if they could afford one more or one less.
Gu Jingshu pinched Qiao Yunxi’s face. “Mother and your father have experienced so much in the past twenty years. What else can’t they trust each other? Since your father promised Mother, Mother naturally trusts him. If he can’t do it, Mother can let go of his promise. Mother knows what to do in the future.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded, but he was not sure.
Even if Qiao Xingbang was Liu Xiahui and sat in a good mood, Concubine Bai was pervasive. Even if she did not succeed in climbing the bed, there would always be lumps in her heart when such a person answered.
“Alright, this isn’t your concern. Mother still has the ability. What about you, go back and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, we’ll go to mansion of Marquis Zhen Yuan.”
The wounds on Qiao Xi’s head had basically healed. It was reasonable for them to go to the Duke of Zhen Yuan’s mansion and say thank you.
Returning to the east courtyard, Qiao Xi was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Huang Qi volunteered to go to “Peony House” to inquire about the situation, but she stopped her.
That’s the matter of the elders. Is she going to listen to the corner of the wall as a junior?
The next day, with a pair of panda eyes, Qiao Yunxi arrived at the main courtyard of the Eastern Hospital early.
“Qiao Qiao, are you … a thief in the middle of the night?” Gu Jingshu deliberately teased.
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes in her heart.
If she wasn’t worried about this cheap mother, would she have been unable to sleep for a night and come to comfort her early?
Gu Jingshu was so funny that she immediately asked Maid to bring a hot towel and put it on Qiao Yunxi’s eyes. “Child, why do you worry so much at such a young age? You are growing up now, so how can you not sleep at night?”
Qiao Xi was sullen and didn’t say anything.
Gu Jingshu knew that Qiao Qiao didn’t like to talk, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know anything.
On the contrary, the child matured earlier than his peers, and he had a lot to hide in his heart.
It was precisely because he was too good at observing words and expressions that his mind was more delicate than that of an ordinary child, and he knew how to be considerate and worried about himself as if he were an adult.
Although she was glad that her daughter was so considerate, Gu Jingshu hoped that Qiao Qiao would be as naive and free as she should be at her age.
“Qiao Qiao is here?”
Hearing Qiao Xingbang’s voice, Qiao Yunxi subconsciously moved, but was pulled back by Gu Jingshu. “Don’t move, put on your eyes properly. This black color won’t dissipate. I’ll see how you’ll get out later.”
Qiao Xingbang stole a laugh and blinked at Gu Jingshu-this girl was worried about me.
–How dare you!
Gu Jingshu blinked.
Qiao Xingbang purposely widened his eyes-Qiao Qiao and I are the closest and most trusting of all, father!
Qiao Xi didn’t hear anything from her side for a long time, so she was restless. “Father? Mother?”
“Qiao Qiao, don’t move,” Gu Jingshu finally said. “We’re going to eat soon.”
After the maidservant finished setting the breakfast, Gu Jingshu removed the hot towel from Qiao Xi’s eyes, replaced it with two slices of cucumbers, and gently pressed it on her lower eyelids.
Qiao Yunxi, who could finally open his eyes, stared fixedly at Qiao Xingbang.
“Qiao Qiao, do you think Daddy is handsome again?” Qiao Xingbang deliberately leaned in front of Qiao Yunxi and asked with a smile.
Qiao Yunxi looked at him disdainfully with a paralyzed face.
Qiao Xingbang, who felt that he had been hurt, curled his lips in grief, “Qiao Qiao doesn’t like daddy anymore. Qiao Qiao doesn’t want daddy anymore.”
Qiao Yunxi was embarrassed.
She also knew that Qiao Xingbang was deliberately teasing her. Because Qiao Xingbang had always felt that he owed her money when he was out all year round, so she was bent on making up for it and spared no effort to pamper her. But she was really not a ten-year-old child, so she couldn’t cooperate!
“Father, when did you come back?” Qiao Xi, who was serious, had a tiger face and tried her best to look serious.
However, her bright facial features did not match the charm of her age. The two contradictions mixed together, giving her an inexplicable sense of joy.
Qiao Xingbang blinked at her and took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to her.
“What is this?” Qiao Xi held the porcelain bottle and shook it, feeling like the liquid was shaking.
“Ecstasy is colorless and odorless. It dissolves in water and does no harm to the body.”
“For Concubine Bai?” Qiao Xi’s eyes widened as she saw Qiao Xingbang nod and put the porcelain bottle into her purse at her waist.
This kind of good thing, we must take it back and study it carefully.
“Do you trust daddy now?” Qiao Xingbang was very concerned about what his daughter thought of him.
Qiao Xi smiled coquettishly.
Qiao Xingbang’s soft and adorable appearance melted his heart, so how could he be in the mood to worry about the weight he held in his daughter’s heart?
“But will concubine mother Bai not notice?” Qiao Xi started to feel conflicted.
Even if Concubine Bai couldn’t detect it, Qiao Xingbang couldn’t keep using ecstasy, could he?
“Master, Madam, Miss, Concubine Bai is here.” The little maidservant interrupted Qiao Xi with trembling fear.
Gu Jingshu helped Qiao Xi open a small mouthful on the top of the crab roe buns and let Qiao Xi suck the juice from the soup buns first. She said casually, “Concubine Bai can’t wait to propose a toast to this cup of tea.”
She did not drink the tea that Concubine Bai had toasted. Concubine Bai’s identity was not recognized, and she had no reputation in the Eastern Campus. She was not even comparable to a servant.
The family of three ate their breakfast leisurely and arrived at the east.
Concubine Bai stood there obediently, her eyebrows gentle and her eyes filled with spring.
Qiao Xi could not distinguish the difference between a woman and a woman, she only stared blankly at Concubine Bai.
Concubine Bai couldn’t conceal her pride in her eyes.
Although she had no impression of what had happened last night and was still frustrated that she hadn’t performed well for the first time, looking at his expression, it seemed that he wasn’t dissatisfied with her.
Thinking about it, it was also because she was excited that she fainted excitedly.
Master had tasted her taste and knew that she was different from Gu Jingshu. As long as she could pull Master into her bed again, she would definitely make Master drunk and dreamt of death. She couldn’t let it go.
Although it was a little regretful, Auntie Bai couldn’t help but get excited when the little maidservant served her tea.
During this period of time, she was first obstructed by Gu Jingshu, and then because of her inconvenience, she was unable to serve Qiao Xingbang. Her position in the Eastern Campus was extremely awkward. Now, as long as Gu Jingshu drank this cup of tea, she would be able to do so. Her status was decided, and she had the right to speak in the Eastern Campus.
Concubine Bai remembers her purpose of coming to the Eastern Campus. She is here on behalf of the Old Madame. Only by completing the tasks assigned by the Old Madame can she show her value. Only when she has value will I provide her with the necessary support and help.
“Madam, please have some tea.” Kneeling respectfully in front of Gu Jingshu, Concubine Bai handed over the teacup with both hands.
Gu Jingshu looked at Concubine Bai indifferently.
Concubine Bai had already prepared herself mentally. She knew that Jingshu would not drink this cup of tea so easily. She maintained a humble smile on her face. She raised her hands and looked at Gu Jingshu with a smile. She looked like she was enduring humiliation. It made people want to hug her in their arms and comfort her.
Qiao Yunxi immediately looked at Qiao Xingbang vigilantly.
Sensing her gaze, Qiao Xingbang smiled at her.
Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze somewhat embarrassedly.
She’s worrying too much.
Just like Gu Jingshu said, if Qiao Xingbang wanted to carry Concubine or something, he would have already lifted it, and there was no need to wait until now.
The relationship between the East Court and the Intermediate Court was not good, so Qiao Xingbang did not have to use the old witch’s people to disgust him. If he really wanted to have a son, it would be better to find a woman than Bai Shaoyao.
A businessman, who hasn’t been to the Wind Moon Farm before, Qiao Xingbang should be a stable person.
Gu Jingshu took the teacup and slowly took a sip before placing it on the table.
“In the future, you will be the person next to Master. Your task is to take good care of Master and give birth to a son for Master. “The people of the Eastern Campus are very simple. I can’t see those dirty things. Do your part. It should be yours. I won’t lose you a single bit. But if you have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have, even if you are from the Old Madame, I won’t let you off lightly!”
“Yes, this servant remembers Madam’s words.” She respectfully agreed, but Concubine Bai didn’t care.
I’ve already said that she’s from the Old Madame. What can Gu Jingshu do to her?
She was already a concubine mother now, so what else could she have that she shouldn’t have?
Squeeze out Gu Jingshu and become the mistress of the Eastern Campus?
She was ambitious, but she knew what was most suitable for her.
Even Qiao Family did not have such a precedent, because the matriarch did not allow it, let alone the fact that her master’s thoughts towards her had not reached the point where she could make Gu Jingshu abdicate.
Even if she gave birth to a son in the future, the matriarch would not allow it.
The word “concubine” was a thorn in the old madam’s heart. Although the person from the Southern Academy had been concentrating on Buddhist rituals and living in seclusion these past few years, the old madam’s resentment towards that person would not be lessened even if she brought him into the coffin.
Therefore, the matriarch would never allow a concubine to become a proper wife.
Therefore, she was very clear about her position in the Eastern Campus.
