Chapter 1448: Chapter 148: The Wicked Sue First
How dare you play the victim first?
Su Ningxiu was again infuriated, “Nonsense? Whether it’s nonsense or not, you know it yourself.” Qiaoqiao was clearly provoking her from the mont she arrived, aiming directly at her brother-in-law.
Is she acting quite convincingly now?
Anyone who didn’t know better would actually think she had been wronged.
Having dropped her previous arrogant and shaless deanor, Qiaoqiao now adopted a pitiful and sympathetic facade, “Sister Su, Qiaoqiao ca to the Gu Family because Brother Gu asked and followed along with the aunt. Qiaoqiao kindly ca to serve Mada Gu, yet you slander like this.” As she spoke, Qiaoqiao nearly burst into tears from her grievance.
Su Ningxiu couldn’t stand to see Qiaoqiao acting so pitifully; such behavior might work on n, but it was utterly useless on her, Su Ningxiu.
On the contrary, Qiaoqiao’s act only increased Su Ningxiu’s disdain.
“Miss Qiaoqiao, no one is wronging you. If you truly feel wronged, you can take your belongings and leave now; I won’t keep you.”
Su Ningxiu said coldly.
Qiaoqiao glanced at Su Ningxiu, forcefully restraining her anger; she wouldn’t bother with her now, but would settle the score with Su Ningxiu later.
Enduring Su Ningxiu’s attitude, Qiaoqiao suddenly hid behind an elderly lady next to Gu Ya, “Aunt, you have to stand up for Qiaoqiao! Qiaoqiao ca to the Gu Family at your request, but I’ve been so maligned out of nowhere.”
The elderly woman was none other than Qiaoqiao’s aunt. Seeing her niece so aggrieved, her face darkened, “Mada Su, Qiaoqiao was brought here by . Without any proof, should you dare to slander my niece again, I will take this matter to the Governor’s Office!”
Having her aunt defend her, Qiaoqiao was pleased to remain silent. She hid to the side, acting pitiable. Hearing all this, Gu Ya also began to understand what was happening.
Turning his gaze towards Su Yunjin, Gu Ya said, “Yunjin, listen to my explanation; Qiaoqiao and I indeed have nothing to do with each other.” It was better when Gu Ya didn’t speak.
But once he did, Su Ningxiu’s anger flared uncontrollably.
“Brother-in-law, dare you say Qiaoqiao wasn’t brought here by you?” Qiaoqiao, from the mont she arrived today, kept asserting she was brought over by Gu Ya and even proposed addressing his younger sister as a sister?
Isn’t this clearly indicating her intention to beco his concubine?
And to still deny any involvent?
Qiaoqiao was brought over by Gu Ya, and he did not deny it, “Elder Sister, it was indeed I who brought Qiaoqiao. However, I brought her to serve Yunjin. It was rely to provide Yunjin a maid.”
With Yunjin’s pregnancy becoming more apparent, Qiaoqiao was a woman introduced by the midwife during Gu Ya’s visit to hire her. The midwife ntioned she had a niece who not only had experience in taking care of several won during childbirth and confinent but also knew quite a bit about the necessities of pregnancy and childbirth.
Gu Ya intentionally wanted to find a maid to take care of his pregnant wife, and upon hearing this from the midwife, he decided to bring the midwife’s niece along to assist for a period.
After Yunjin gave birth and was out of confinent, if Yunjin disliked Qiaoqiao, they would simply find another servant. Hearing Gu Ya’s explanation, a flash of surprise crossed Su Ningxiu’s face.
The expression on Su Yunjin’s face also shifted.
She was still sowhat doubtful of what Gu Ya said.
In an uncertain tone, Su Ningxiu probed, “Brother-in-law, is what you said true? Qiaoqiao is not a concubine you sought but a maid for my younger sister?”
“Of course, it’s true.” Gu Ya replied calmly.
