The three young masters of the Yun family had just returned home when they heard the news that their sister was unwell, and they all went to visit her with distressed faces.
Mingyue spent a lot of effort before sending everyone away one by one.
Mingyue felt extremely annoyed when she thought that her three brothers had just said that if she really liked Liu Ce, they would not embarrass him and ask her not to pretend to be sick in the future to make people worry.
It's no wonder that the prime minister and his wife agreed to the marriage because of Liu Ce's bullshit vows. In fact, they just couldn't stand their daughter's torment!
Mingyue rubbed her brows, she could no longer waste time, she had to act quickly.
The next day.
Mingyue went out with her two maids after breakfast, heading straight to Liu's house with a clear goal.
Now the Liu family lives in the Xiaoerjin courtyard in the south of the city. This courtyard is still half a year's rent from Yun Mingyue, the enemy. She has purchased everything in it personally, and she even invited Mrs. Wang who cooks.
The Liu family's abacus was making a clanging sound, and Mingyue could only say that the original owner was really a little heartless.
When Mingyue arrived at Liu's house, the Liu family had just had breakfast and were chatting together as a family.
The Liu family were originally country people who made a living by digging dirt. They had nothing else to do after coming to Huaijing, and they didn't want to go out to do anything. They just stayed in the house daydreaming about the blue sky all day long.
And Huaijing is different from Liujia Village. There are dignitaries everywhere here. People with the Liu family's status can't find a place to chat or show off here.
Before, Yun Mingyue was confused and took Liu Xiaolian to a flower viewing party held by a certain official lady. Liu Xiaolian couldn't recognize her identity and relied on Yun Mingyue to like her brother. She behaved like an arrogant and domineering person, and was eventually killed. After revealing his identity, he also claimed that his brother had a close relationship with Yun Mingyue. This could be said to have thrown the Prime Minister's Mansion's face to the ground and made Yun Mingyue a joke in the aristocratic circle of Huaijing.
Thanks to Yun Mingyue's foolish protection, otherwise the Liu family, who are incompetent and flamboyant, would not survive long in Huai Jing.
When Mingyue approached, the Liu family had not noticed her arrival and were chatting animatedly.
"Ce'er, Xiaolian is so good-looking, even if she is married to a prince or grandson, you are her brother, so you can't ignore her." Mother Liu said in a loud voice while picking her teeth with her fingers. .
Liu's father also nodded with deep approval and said: "Yes, yes, yes, when you get married to that Miss Prime Minister, our Liu family is also the Prime Minister's in-law family, so Xiao Lian's marriage cannot be underestimated. If Xiao Lian marries well, she will be able to help her in the future. I’ll help you.”
Liu Xiaolian curled her lips a little aggrievedly: "Actually, I think Mr. Yun is pretty good..."
Liu Ce frowned and said impatiently: "Don't think about it, Yun family. I have my own mind on this matter. Don't worry, I will find a good family for Xiaolian."
"I knew my brother was the best." Liu Xiaolian complimented with joy on her face.
A smile appeared on Liu Ce's lips. He was naturally powerful if he could control the prime minister's daughter.
The Liu family and his wife also looked triumphant, as if their son could do anything.
When Mingyue heard this, she almost burst into laughter. How big is this family's face
Why do they think that the princes and nobles of Huai Jing are at their disposal
Do you really think that everyone is as stupid and easy to deceive as Yun Mingyue
"Ahem," Mingyue coughed twice. When she saw the Liu family looked over, she said hello to everyone in turn, and then she said shyly, "I'm here to bother you again today."
In the eyes of the Liu family, Yun Mingyue was a golden beggar, a money tree that produced money, so why would they mind her uninvited visit
As for whether Yun Mingyue heard their conversation just now, no one was really worried. After all, everyone knew that she was easy to fool.
"Hey, Xiaoyue is an honored guest of our Liu family. Why don't Ce'er accompany Xiaoyue?" Liu's mother winked at Liu Ce and said with a smile. Liu's father pretended to be very aloof and just nodded to Mingyue without saying a word.
And Liu Xiaolian had already come forward eagerly, her eyes roving over Mingyue's jewelry, and she knew at a glance that she had not made a good decision.
Liu Ce's eyes turned around on the empty hands of Mingyue and the two maids, and his brows instantly wrinkled.
You must know that Yun Mingyue came here in the past, either with silver coins, or with high-quality pens, inks, paper and inkstones. In short, they all came to deliver equipment.
Liu Ce had been spoiled by Yun Mingyue for a long time, and when he saw Mingyue coming empty-handed, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
But the play still has to be performed.
Liu Ce looked at Mingyue tenderly, "Xiaoyue."
Mingyue lowered her head pretending to be shy, making the Liu family even more proud.
So what about the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion? She didn't come forward so eagerly.
"Okay, okay, Ce'er, you take Xiaoyue around, and your father and I won't bother you here." Mother Liu said, and pulled Liu Xiaolian away who didn't really want to leave.
In an instant, only Mingyue and Liu Ce were left in the front yard, as well as two maids from the Yun family.
Liu Ce winked at Mingyue, wanting her to reject the maid.
Mingyue just pretended not to see his expression and smiled at him with a pure and ignorant look.
Liu Ce showed his charming eyes to the blind man, and he felt even more unhappy.
"Xiaoyue, I want to talk to you alone for a while. Look..." Liu Ce hesitated and looked at the two maids.
Mingyue thought for a while and let the maid go down. It happened that she also wanted to talk to Liu Ce alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the maid left, Liu Ce frowned, with a sad look on his face, and said, "Xiaoyue, the prices in Huaijing are really too high. You also know that I will take the exam in a few days. I passed the imperial examination, but now I can’t even afford decent books. My parents raised me so much, but after I came to Huaijing, I stayed at home all day long, afraid of going out and spending money... "
After all, isn't it just for money
It just so happened that what Mingyue wanted to raise was also money.
Mingyue blinked her eyes, and a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on her face.
"Ace, I came today to talk to you about money."
Mingyue grabbed the brocade handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head shyly, and said rather coyly:
"Actually, my father has almost agreed to our marriage, but my mother always said that your family are all liars. You took too much money from me before we got married. She also said that Xiaolian always borrowed clothes and jewelry from me. , but she has never come back. My mother also said that even the rent for your family was paid by me, so she wanted to get away with nothing... "
The expression on Liu Ce's face froze, and then he interrupted angrily: "How could your mother miss me so much? Others don't know, don't you? You didn't force me to give me that money. I can't bear to let you down, so I have no choice but to accept it? Our Liu family is very ambitious and cannot tolerate such slander from your Yun family."
Although Liu Ce looked upright and upright on his face, in fact his thoughts were changing over and over in his heart.
