Chapter 416 What about the other secret?
Qiao Ye knew that Qiao Xiaolian couldn't figure it out with her brain.
So he explained: "Since she wants you to convey me, it means she doesn't believe Wen Xianglian's words."
"I want to test my attitude."
"Or maybe you want to use me to find out whether the Hibiscus Cream is a good thing or not."
Qiao Xiaolian agreed, "Definitely."
"She told me at the time that she felt her aunt wasn't that kind."
"She doesn't dare to give it to Song Shaoyang carelessly. If anything goes wrong, she'll be finished."
"Otherwise, she also wanted to be favored by Song Shaoyang, and she tried to meet him by chance and by trickery several times, but she just didn't succeed."
Song Shaoyang was quite tolerant towards his concubines. As long as they had a reason to go out, they would be allowed.
For example, if you go out to buy something or see relatives, you will generally not be stopped.
Unlike many wealthy families, concubines were not allowed to go out at all.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell Wen Qiumei that this Hibiscus Cream is not a good thing."
"If Song Shaoyang eats it, she might even lose her life, not to mention her hope of becoming the favorite in the backyard."
"But her aunt was able to get close to Song Shaoyang. It's obvious that she wanted to step on her to get to the top."
"Not getting tricked means she's a smart person."
"I suggest that she go to Song Shaoyang and confess this matter."
"Although I won't be favored, my life will be much better than it is now."
She likes to deal with smart people, and Wen Qiumei is obviously a smart person.
If he had foolishly believed Wen Xianglian, the first person Song Shaoyang would have dealt with after he became addicted would have been Wen Qiumei.
After all, Wen Qiumei not only didn't know the effect of the hibiscus cream, but she also didn't have it on hand, let alone provide it to Song Shaoyang.
Qiao Ye touched his chin and thought, it seems that Shui Yuanjing’s capture has forced the rebels into a corner.
He actually wanted to control Song Shaoyang directly with opium.
What surprised her was that the person who made the move was Wen Xianglian, not Madam Jiao.
Wen Xianglian has hibiscus cream, and she plans to let Wen Qiumei give it to Song Shaoyang.
Then he must have colluded with the rebels.
This also shows that Mrs. Jiao is hiding very well and cannot reveal her identity in front of Song Shaoyang.
That's why he wanted to use Wen Xianglian and Wen Qiumei.
But those traitors would never have thought that Qiao Xiaolian would accidentally overhear Madam Jiao's secret conversation with someone else.
Wen Qiumei not only did not trust her aunt Wen Xianglian, but was more wary and cautious.
He would rather believe her, an outsider, than Wen Xianglian.
This unexpected result made their plan fail.
Otherwise, Song Shaoyang might become the second Lu Zian.
Qiao Ye saw that Qiao Xiaolian looked like she had something else to say.
So he asked again: "What's the other secret you want to tell?"
Qiao Xiaolian is a person who can't keep silent.
But he also knew that both secrets were related to his life. He didn't dare tell anyone when he was in the Song Mansion, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Now that I see Qiao Ye, I know that he can be trusted.
I couldn't help but say, "I heard from Wen Qiumei that your stepmother-in-law and her daughter are also restless."
"I've been finding excuses to go out lately."
"Two days ago, when Wen Qiumei went out to meet Wen Xianglian, she also found Yu Wanzhi talking to a man."
"And she also recognized that man. He was your ex-father-in-law."
"These people are really cunning, Yu Wanzhi and her daughter are keeping a low profile in the backyard now."
"After they failed to win Song Shaoyang's favor, they either stayed in their rooms and embroidered."
"Otherwise, he would take the initiative to show his courtesy to the Jiao family."
"I thought they were both very honest, but I didn't expect that they might be causing trouble behind the scenes."
After thinking about it, compared with those people, she is the most honest.
Today, even Qiao Ye didn't expect that Qiao Xiaolian would bring her two such useful pieces of news.
The scumbag Uncle Wu suddenly disappeared before, and the young husband found out that he was taken away by the rebels.
Now that he suddenly comes to Yu Wanzhi, it is very likely that he has the same purpose as Wen Xianglian.
If Wen Qiumei fails, Yu Wanzhi and her daughter will take over.
Qiao Ye said to Qiao Xiaolian: "The water here is very deep. You are very smart this time. You knew to tell me."
Qiao Xiaolian curled her lips and said, "I'm not stupid anyway."
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"If I ask Wen Qiumei to confess to Song Shaoyang, she will definitely tell others about me."
She had no idea what to do and could only rely on Qiao Ye as her backbone.
Now in the entire capital, the only person she can trust is Qiao Ye.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "You should also confess to Song Shaoyang what you heard the other day."
"You said the person who was talking to Jiao looked a bit like a eunuch, so that person is most likely a eunuch serving the Fifth Prince."
"We need to remind them to be on their guard."
Although they and the Fifth Prince's faction were destined not to be friends, they could not let the rebels take advantage of them.
If the Fifth Prince and Song Shaoyang were controlled by opium, the court would be in real trouble.
The rebels' move this time is so big that they will be exposed if they are not careful. It seems that they are very anxious and are desperate.
In addition to Shui Yuanjing being arrested, I'm afraid something else happened.
Qiao Xiaolian and Wen Qiumei took the initiative to remind them, believing that Song Shaoyang knew how to guard against and deal with the Jiao family.
Let the rebels' plan fail.
Qiao Xiaolian nodded without even thinking: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qiao Ye said: "You can't tell them when you go back today. I suspect Jiao will have people keep an eye on you."
"It would be best if you drag Song Shaoyang out tomorrow and use him as an excuse to go shopping with you."
"Find a place where no one can hear you, and then tell him about this."
"You can ask Wen Qiumei to come along then."
"When you went out, you deliberately showed off in the backyard. Song Shaoyang doted on you so much that he wanted to accompany you to buy jewelry or clothes or something."
"This way, Jiao won't be too suspicious."
This is Qiao Xiaolian’s character setting. Once it collapses, it will be discovered that something is wrong.
Qiao Xiaolian looked at Qiao Ye with admiration, "You are really thoughtful."
If Qiao Ye didn't remind her, she would go back and talk to Wen Qiumei about this.
Then he took Wen Qiumei to find Song Shaoyang.
If they were targeted by Jiao's people, they would be doomed before they even meet Song Shaoyang.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Think more about what you do in the future."
"After you go back, if Jiao asks you whether I ate the cakes or not."
"Just say I took a bite, but didn't like the taste so I spit it out."
There might be something added to the pastry this time, so she couldn't let the other party think that she had eaten it.
That's why she asked Qiao Xiaolian to bring her cakes more often.
Only then can she know the news from the Song family at any time.
Qiao Xiaolian nodded, "Okay!"
After sitting for a while, Qiao Xiaolian left with her maid and guards.
When Lu Shao came back in the evening, Qiao Ye told him these two things.
Lu Shao was also a little surprised that Jiao was actually on the rebel side.
"I'll have someone investigate Wen Xianglian and keep a close eye on her."
"She must have been in contact with the rebels recently and was taken advantage of."
Hibiscus cream is not something Wen Xianglian can get.
Qiao Ye nodded, "There must be something wrong with her."
"Besides her, it's also better to check if there's anything wrong with anyone in the Jiao family."
"Did she also use the same method to attack him, such as Young Master Jiao?"
She had some understanding of Wen Xianglian, and she was not a woman who would keep to herself.
If you want to stay safely in the Jiao family, controlling Young Master Jiao is the trump card.
After all, he was Mrs. Jiao's beloved son.
