Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

Qi Mei happened to open the door from the inside.

"Morning, Second Young Mistress." Fenghuang saluted cleverly, it seemed that what he said to her had an effect, otherwise she would just stay in Zhilan's room if nothing happened?

"En." Qi Mei replied blankly.

"Second Young Mistress, the roster you want me to prepare is ready. Have you looked it over?" Steward Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Okay." Qi Mei replied.

"Please follow me." Butler Zhou bowed, led the way, and led Qi Mei out of the room.

Fenghuang knew that he was giving him a chance, so he hurriedly entered the room sideways, and gently closed the door.

What can Second Young Mistress see?She searched around but found nothing, so she thought about sneaking into the second young master's room next door.After Mu Qing got married, he moved out of this room, and the old man cleaned up another room for him to use as his wedding room. There were a lot of sundries piled up in this room, which was a bit messy.

Fenghuang recalled Mu Qing's habit, opened the cabinet directly, and indeed put an unremarkable small wooden box in the corner, Fenghuang took it out and hid it in his arms, and when no one was looking around, she quickly dodged and left, almost seamless.

All of this is seen by Caiping in the dark corner.

Qi Mei listened carefully to what Butler Zhou told her, and asked questions from time to time.

Fenghuang took the box to her room, she easily pried the lock of the box open, and there was a diary inside. Although Fenghuang was not very literate, she knew that this must be the key thing, otherwise the second young master would not Put the box in the cabinet where you like to put hidden things.

Fenghuang took out the notebook, looked around for no one, and looked for an opportunity to secretly put it in a drawer in Zhilan's room.After finishing these things, she quietly followed Qi Mei's whereabouts.

There was no movement for two days, Fenghuang waited a little anxiously, the eldest wife asked her several times, which made her feel hard to explain.

Qi Mei likes to sit in Zhilan's room and enjoy the scenery, and it has almost become an unshakable habit, especially in the early winter sunshine, when the sun shone warmly on her body, it was very comfortable.

"Second young lady, this room is very sunny, it's good for you to sit here for a while." Fenghuang brought her a glass of red wine, "Would you like to continue listening to the story today?"

"No need." Qi Mei didn't care anymore.A young girl's shyness appeared on her face, thinking of Mu Qing's sudden tenderness yesterday.

Unlike before, although he was not too alienated before, there was always a lingering indifference when he approached, but when he came back last night, there were intricate emotions in his eyes, and he drank an extra glass of red wine with her.

He looked at Qi Mei smiling like a flower, and there was a hallucination in front of his eyes, as if the person in front of him had turned into Zhi Lan and was smiling at him. With his thoughts on his mind, he leaned against her and held her hand: "I really want to You, you should come back."

Surprised and delighted, Qi Mei embraced his neck and kissed his lips actively.

Mu Qing came to his senses, he was not Liu Xiahui who could sit still, Qi Mei aroused his enthusiasm and made him really want to be intoxicated by this gentle eyes, but he held back.Although in the end he hurriedly got up and fled the door, her kiss must have made him slowly accept himself, she can wait.

Fenghuang put down the cup for her and gently closed the door and left.

Qi Mei picked up the cup and took a sip. Unfortunately, she shook her hand and spilled a little on the table. She hurriedly took the handkerchief hanging on her body, but unexpectedly, it got entangled with Pan Niu, and she couldn't take it off for a long time.Qi Mei was about to get up, and she inadvertently put one hand on the handle of the drawer on the right.Suddenly, a small drawer opened—

A beautiful notebook suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.She had looked through the drawers before and didn't have this thing?Qi Mei was puzzled, what is this?Why did it suddenly appear in the drawer?
Curiosity drove her to flip through the book, page by page.It turned out to be Zhou Zhilan's diary.

The more Qi Mei looked at it, the more frightened she became.how so?She flipped through the book with trembling hands, they were not brother and sister, but lovers who were separated!Zhou Muqing in Zhilan's works is so fanatical and in love with her, but Zhou Zhilan loves her "brother" deeply, and he is so self-confident and passionate from beginning to end.

Seeing the end, her heart trembled for a long time and could not calm down.It's better to know the truth than to be kept in the dark. No wonder Mu Qing treats her so indifferently. Before, she could only guess where the invisible rival was, but now she can finally trace the source.

Suddenly she felt a little grateful to the person who put the diary, that person answered her long-standing doubts.

what is this?Zhou Zhilan had long been married to the young master of the Li family, so no matter how much Zhou Muqing cared about it, it was nothing more than a past, just like a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, just a dirty light mark.

Qi Mei swore in her heart: "Zhou Zhilan, even if Mu Qing never forgets you, you are a loser in love. Now that he is mine, I will definitely remove your shadow from his heart, just wait."

Fenghuang watched Qi Mei in the dark, she stayed in the room longer than usual, she must have found the diary.She waited for a good show, imagining Qi Mei's expression when she knew the truth. Fenghuang is someone who has been there before. When she recalled the shock, unwillingness and disbelief when she eavesdropped on the conversation between Mu Qing and Zhi Lan, the second young lady will definitely revisit it. .

What made Qi Mei even more shocked was that Zhou Zhilan had a bizarre life experience, she was also the daughter of the Qi family, she smiled wryly and never thought that she, like Zhou Zhilan, enjoyed the same scenery and fell in love with the same man.Zhou Zhilan, her younger sister, couldn't make her hate her, she just felt depressed and uncomfortable.

After reading the diary, she sat there numbly for a long time, as if she had gone through everything in her mind, but also seemed to think about nothing.

"Dong dong dong" someone knocked on the door.

Qi Mei replied dumbly.

Seeing that the time has come, Fenghuang specially came to invite Qi Mei. She respectfully said, "Second Young Mistress, Housekeeper Zhou asked me to ask when you will go to get the key? He is still waiting for you."

"You showed it to me on purpose, didn't you?" Qi Mei thought of something.

"Yes." Fenghuang replied openly without being stage frightened.

"Why?" Qi Mei stared at the Phoenix in front of her with a pair of bright eyes, her brows tightened, "Tell me your purpose!"

"It's not for anything else, I just want to persuade you that you can't be the housekeeper of the Zhou family." Fenghuang raised his face and said firmly, "I have good intentions."

"Why?" Qi Mei asked in a deep voice.

"Now the housekeeper is in the hands of the wife. The wife has spoken and is unwilling to hand over the housekeeping to you. If you forcefully take it over, you will only offend the wife. One day the master will wake up and will not favor you. And the person you have been relying on , is not really someone you can rely on, as you have seen, the second young master always has the third lady in his heart, you can't replace it. Besides, the housekeeper is a thankless job that offends others. If you insist on replacing the wife, you will offend the wife. Second, if something goes wrong, the second young master will blame you, why do you bother yourself?" When Fenghuang opened his mouth, Qi Mei understood that she had come prepared, even though she was a maidservant, she could tell such logic If it is profound, I am afraid it still means the wife.

Qi Mei murmured, but did not express her opinion. Fenghuang waited for her to speak, and seeing her expression, he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"I will consider what you said, and now I have to go back." Qi Mei received so many mixed messages today, her head was buzzing, and now she wanted to find a quiet place to hide for a while.

"Obey." Fenghuang went back to Butler Zhou.

Qi Mei didn't take anyone with her, she found a rickshaw to go to Qi's house, her heart was heavy.

Right in front of you is the gate of Qi Mansion, Qi Mei stood at the gate for a while, a servant saw the eldest lady coming back from a distance, and wanted to report to Bi Chun, but she stopped her.

After entering the door, she went straight to Zhilanyuan and went to Yuchun to ask for clarification.

Yuchun was reclining on the bed, she had just recovered from a relapse of her old illness, since Qi Shan left, she often shed tears, especially when there was no one in front of her eyes.

Yuchun was thinking wildly on the bed, and the servants came to report that the eldest lady had arrived, but before she could finish her sentence, the eldest lady Qi Mei appeared in front of her in a hurry.

"Meimei, why are you back?" Yuchun raised her head and looked at Qi Mei in front of her. They hadn't seen each other a few times in a year. After she got married, she was a little more charming than when she was a girl.

"I came here today to ask Si Niang something." Qi Mei said.

"Oh, tell me." She has something to ask?Yuchun was a little curious.

"Si Niang, do you still have a daughter?" Qi Mei went straight to the point, "She is Zhou Zhilan, the third miss of the Zhou family."

After hearing this, Yuchun quickly sat up straight on the bed, and said nervously and vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?"

"You just tell me if there is such a thing?" Seeing her reaction, Qi Mei had a faint feeling in her heart, but she must listen to her to confirm.

Yuchun embraced the quilt without saying a word.

"I'm just asking, and I will never tell anyone, don't worry." Qi Mei vowed.

Yuchun thought about it, felt a little guilty when Qi Mei stared at her persistently, and nodded slightly.

Yuchun admitted, and Qi Mei felt as if she was hit on the head by a sap stick, and the pain covered her head and face, and she was deeply wrapped in it, making her breathless.

When she came out of Zhilanyuan, she walked heavily. It seemed that what Zhou Zhilan said in his diary was correct, and it was true.She didn't go to see Bichun, because she was not in a high mood, and her mother could easily spot her. She didn't want more people to know Zhou Zhilan's identity, including her mother.

Her identity must not be leaked, if she was the third miss of the Zhou family, there would never be a chance between Mu Qing and her.Once she becomes the Qi family's daughter, Qi Mei can't imagine whether everything she pursued painstakingly will be wiped out.

She understood what Fenghuang meant, maybe she was right.But she thought about it again and again, for the sake of herself and Mu Qing, she worked harder to get into his heart, she must firmly grasp the power of housekeeping in her hands.As soon as Zhilanyuan came out, she got into the rickshaw, weighed it carefully, and didn't stay at home too long. Bichun had to report that when she came out again, she only saw Qi Mei's back.

"Why did Miss come back?" Bichun hurriedly asked the servants who were waiting on her left and right, but everyone shook their heads and couldn't answer.Everyone took it for granted that the eldest lady went where she wanted, and they were busy with their own affairs without paying attention. No one ever thought that she would leave without even stepping through the door of the second room.
