My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

After hearing this, Qiu Ning was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Oh, my eldest sister has a mouth that can confuse right and wrong. It's a shame that she doesn't become a famous actress in the theater."

"It was you who forced me to swap jobs with the third and fourth sisters, saying you were disabled and disrespectful to your elder sisters. But is it us who are to blame for your current situation at the laundry? It's clearly you who are useless and incompetent, so why are you making it sound so refined?"

"You..." Qiuyao choked with anger.

"What do you mean by 'you'? Did I say something wrong? Ever since you entered this criminal department, have you ever put yourself in the right place? Have you ever thought about your mother and sisters for a moment?

Not only are you selfish and cold-hearted, with ambitions higher than the sky, but you are also unfilial and greedy. Qiuyao, you have wasted all the years of studying the sages' books!"

Qiu Ning's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Qiu Yao, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Qiu Ning, her beautiful face distorted with anger.

The main thing was that she had no way to refute Qiu Ning's words for a while, so she could only say:

"Second sister, I haven't offended you, right? How could you slander me like this in front of mother?"

Qiu Ning was too lazy to waste words with her. She helped Zhang sit on a round stool beside her and said in a bad tone:

"You are already dark, do you still need to apply it?"

"I came here to tell you that if I find you asking your mother for money again, I will beat you up every time I see you."

Zhang seemed to be frightened by Qiu Ning's brutal words and could not help but call out to Qiu Ning: "Aning..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qiu Ning ruthlessly interrupted him.

"If Mother wants everyone to suffer and be deserted by their friends and family, she can just keep raising this parasite."

"I'm afraid that even if you're willing to raise me, my mother will still despise me in the end and say I'm useless."

Zhang's heart skipped a beat!

She couldn't help but think of the time when she was at home, when the whole family treated Qiuyao sincerely, but she was always arrogant and even looked down on her mother, often using her moral theories to kidnap her.

Thinking of this, Zhang closed her mouth silently.

Seeing this, Qiuyao knew that it was useless to say more, so she could only leave the embroidery room with Xianghe in a dusty state.

When he left, he deliberately glanced at Qiu Ning. His eyes seemed to reveal deep resentment, anger, and warning.

Yueya also saw it and she was a little worried.

"Miss, I see that Miss is not going to give up. I have a bad feeling in my heart."

Qiu Ning retracted his gaze, glanced at Yueya, and replied, "It's not like, it's that I definitely won't let it go. What a pity!"

Yueya was a little confused when she heard this, "What a pity? What do you mean, Miss?"

Qiu Ning shook his head and sighed, "What a pity for Xiang He. She has always been loyal to Qiu Yao. I wonder what will happen to her this time."

Yueya scratched her head, feeling a little confused.

"Miss, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

Qiu Ning just smiled and said nothing.

In her previous life, when Qiuyao was desperate in the laundry room, she relied on selling Xianghe to an old eunuch as a concubine to secure a future for herself. She even became close to Prince Yong.

It seems that the plot of this life is about to be advanced.

Thinking of something, Qiu Ning instructed Yueya, "Keep watching Qiu Yao these few days and see who she interacts with."

"Miss, do you want me to monitor the eldest lady? Don't worry, I guarantee to complete the task!" Yueya patted her chest and said confidently.

The next day, after Qiuyao and her servant were bullied again by a group of palace servants, Qiuyao took out her precious Yaoqin and went into the room of the eunuch Li, who was in charge.

That night, the sound of piano filled Eunuch Li's room and echoed throughout the entire night.

At daybreak, Qiuyao came out of Eunuch Li's room with weak steps and pale face.

Xianghe, who had been guarding outside the house all night, saw this and hurried forward to support Qiuyao, with a look of heartache on her face.

"Miss, why are you doing this? If the master and the eldest son knew about this, wouldn't they be heartbroken?" Xiang He kept crying.

Qiuyao stood in the sunlight for a long time before she recovered. She stared at Xianghe and said quietly, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"Don't worry, young lady. I know the seriousness of this matter and will keep my mouth shut."

In Xiang He's eyes, her young lady's piano skills are the best in the capital. In the past, the children of wealthy families might not even have the chance to listen to her music.

But now, in order to have a better life in this prison, the young lady has given herself to an old eunuch and played music in the room all night long. This is really an incredible humiliation.

"It's all the Second Young Lady's fault. If she hadn't been stirring up trouble, Madam wouldn't have ignored us. Miss, you're just too kindhearted. That's why you've been bullied time and time again by the Second Young Lady. Not only did she steal your jewelry, but now she's trying to win Madam's favor."

Xianghe was still expressing her inner dissatisfaction and blaming Qiu Ning for everything.

Qiuyao paused, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes again.

She turned her head, stared at Xiang He closely, and asked solemnly: "Xiang He, how many years have you been with me?"

Xiang He felt a bad premonition when Qiu Yao stared at her like that, but she still answered truthfully, "Why do you ask this suddenly, Miss? I have been with you since I was a child. It has been ten years now."

Xianghe was a servant girl of the Qiu family. She was arranged to live with Qiuyao at the age of five and grew up with her.

Qiuyao reached out and stroked Xianghe's increasingly thin face, and considerately tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her voice was gentle and contained a hint of allure: "It's been ten years, Xianghe. Do you want to leave this cold palace and return to the days of luxury with me?"

Xiang He's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Is it possible, Miss? Can we really go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Qiu Yao shook her head, her eyes seemed to penetrate the small courtyard, looking somewhere outside the palace gate, her voice firm and gentle:

"No, it's a better place than the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"It just requires you to make some small sacrifices."

Then, Qiuyao whispered something in Xianghe's ear. The next second, Xianghe was stunned as if struck by lightning. She stared at Qiuyao with a pair of terrified and disbelieving eyes. Her face turned pale and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Before Qiuyao left, she added:

"Please think about it carefully. If you agree, I promise that the day I enter the palace will be the day you get what you want."

……

When Yueya brought the news, Qiu Ning had just come out of Nanny Li's room after pouring out the water.

She looked up at the waning moon in the sky, curled her lips and smiled, "Don't pay attention to it, it's just a cocoon for yourself after all."
