  "Hiss——"

  When she heard the news, Jiu Jie was still embroidering. She wasn't paying attention and pricked her hand with a needle. A drop of blood appeared instantly.

  "Miss..." On one side, Qing An became impatient and made a gesture as if he was about to grab her hand to take a look.

  "It's nothing..." She waved her hand, then turned to Qing An with a serious face and said, "Go and call everyone back into the house, lock all doors and windows, and tell them no one is allowed to wander around!"

  Qing Xing was startled by her solemn face and hastily left. She sat in front of the window, staring at a few clouds on the horizon in a daze.

  It's been a few years since I came to this world, and although there have been ups and downs from time to time, it has generally been calm. However, the storm is finally coming now.

  I don't know what kind of fate that courageous fifth sister will end up with, nor how many innocent people will be implicated. Alas!

  The ninth sister couldn't help but close her eyes.

  It turned out that Ninth Sister was indeed correct, and a storm swept through the entire Wen Manor on the second day.

  The people in Wu Jie's house, including Qing Hua and Qing Cao, disappeared for no reason. He Mama was also taken back home by her son due to physical discomfort.

  The servants in the second house were replaced on a large scale, some were beaten and sold because of their incompetence, others were sent to the countryside due to their poor service, and there were also those who suffered from throat diseases... Later, it was not only the second house that had problems with its servants, but other houses also had servants who got into trouble one after another. The shadow of the toothless old woman often appeared in the mansion.

  At this time, everyone in the palace was on high alert and cautious about everything.

  Fortunately, Jiu Jie had taken preventive measures beforehand, so everyone in her household followed the rules and was not affected.

  This made Qing Tao once again feel grateful to Jiu Jie, and she was deeply indebted to her. If it weren't for Jiu Jie's repeated reminders, that day in the garden when she saw her, she would have definitely listened to a few words of that gossipy old woman's nagging, and as a result, she might have ended up like Qing Ye, being sold to the north and never seeing her loved ones again.

  Qing Tao secretly told Qing Xing about this matter, and at the same time she was feeling shocked and fortunate, Jiu Sier was sitting in front of the window embroidering.

  Qing Tao's words had certainly reached her ears, but she didn't feel a hint of joy at the success of their plan, because her concerns were all about another person - Wu Jie, who was sent to Qing Xin An outside the city.

  On the same evening that Wei Yuanwang was sent back, Second Master Wen Chonghu had Fifth Sister sent away. She didn't have a chance to see her, only catching a glimpse of her from afar through the window.

  The same moon-white dress, the same elegant and refined beauty, the same flowery youth, but unfortunately from now on can only be accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas!

  She's only fourteen years old...

  Thinking of the past with Fifth Sister, Ninth Sister's eyes moistened in an instant.

  "Miss, Miss is here!" At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Qingzhi walked in, saying softly.

  "Oh!" Ninth Sister hastily wiped away her tears.

  "Older sister..."

  At this time, Shi Jie had already entered the house, followed by a unfamiliar maid.

  The ninth sister hurriedly came to welcome her, Qingtao and Qingxing also moved a chair and served tea, rushing forward to greet her.

  The tenth sister gave the ninth sister a sideways glance, then calmly instructed the maid behind her, "Qingci, you go wait for me on the corridor first!"

  " Ninth sister, it's still better to have a clever and handy maid like yours. The ones I have are all clumsy!" After sending the maid away, Tenth sister immediately complained with a bitter face.

  "Don't worry, tenth sister, for newcomers, it's fine to take it slow and teach them gradually!" Ninth sister hurriedly comforted her.

  "Hmph!" At this, the tenth sister's small face fell, and she immediately became teary-eyed. Indignantly, she said, "What did you say was wrong with those two maids in my room? They just helped me run a few errands for fourth sister, fetching some poetry drafts. But then Auntie and Mother Fang said they were unchaste and had been sold... how could they be unchaste? They didn't elope, I didn't elope..."

  "Ten little sisters!" Nine sister heard more and more unlike, hurriedly stopped her.

  The tenth sister's face was sulky, but she still shut her mouth and fell silent for a moment. She then leaned against the ninth sister again and said in a spoiled tone, "Ninth sister, aren't you bored staying at home all day?"

  "Of course!" Jiujie smiled as soon as she heard, "But now I'm fine, whenever I get annoyed, I embroider flowers. Sister, take a look, has my skill improved?" As she spoke, she took out a small embroidered pouch she had just finished.

  After that incident, those maids and servants who suffered naturally didn't know about it, nor did these young ladies from wealthy families.

  Both embroidery classes and learning classes have been completely stopped, and all they can do every day is to embroider in their own rooms, not allowed to go out casually, and even more strictly forbidden to step out of the inner courtyard privately.

  All they can see is the four walls of their rooms and the sky above.

  The ninth sister was naturally also annoyed, but what she was best at was self-regulation, and she would naturally find ways to pass the time.

  Of course, her way of passing time was not just embroidery, but also that book "Notes on Raising White Wax Insects".

  This can be considered the only benefit that the affair of the fifth sister brought to her, this notebook was basically completed under her hard work, and only a few problems need to be practiced before they can be completely determined.

  She plans to wait until next year and take a good opportunity to go to that mountain forest personally.

  With this technology, she felt more grounded.

  Relying on no one is better than relying on oneself. She thought that if she were to escape one day, the direction she would run towards wouldn't be a man, but this vast and free sky.

  "Ah, sister's craftsmanship has indeed improved!" The tenth sister glanced at the embroidered pouch in her hand, nodded, and then said worriedly, "But... Ninth Sister, I won't be able to embroider this one."

  "Why bother with embroidery? Sister has always loved writing and poetry, she can practice calligraphy instead. With good handwriting, it will even match the name of a talented woman."

  "What a silly girl, sister is teasing me again!" The tenth sister was embarrassed, but soon after she said, "However, sister's idea is really good!"

  "Great Ninth Sister, you're really great! Every time I chat with you, I feel a lot more relaxed!" said the Tenth Sister.

  "Am I going to be a sister?" Jiujier heard this little girl's sincere words and immediately smiled back at her.

  "Sister?" The tenth sister was taken aback, then said gloomily, "Yingniang is also a sister, but..." She trailed off, then suddenly smiled and let it go. "Forget it, I won't hold it against her. Anyway, she's getting married soon and moving all the way to Jiangnan, so we won't see each other much in the future."

  This time it was Jiu's turn to be stunned, "Jiangnan?"

  Won't you be made a concubine of King Weiyuan?

  " Ninth sister, do you also think it's very far away?" Tenth sister immediately added after hearing this, "I heard mother say that originally, English sister and uncle and aunt were not willing either, they wanted to find a family for sister in Bianzhou city, but somehow they were rejected by the other family, so she was married off far away."

  Uh...

  The ninth sister couldn't help but be stunned again.

  She suddenly wanted to know what kind of person Wei Yuan Wang was. He even picked a concubine so carefully, harming two young girls, one became a nun and the other married far away in Jiangnan.

  He is a man who doesn't understand romance and isn't good to think about, but shouldn't such a person just stay with his wife and live well? Why take in a concubine?

  Were all men in ancient times like this when raising horses?...
