After a few days, Mingyue found servants, a doorman and a cook to serve them, and then she placed the group of children in Jishan Hall and made arrangements for their teachers.
She just wanted to relax for a while, but unexpectedly something happened again.
"I followed Heizhi all the time following the young lady. Today Heizhi came to the shop again to bother the master, begging him to give him a way out. The master refused, and he cried for a long time before leaving. As a result, after he left the shop, he was found by Liu Shumin. The two talked for a long time in the alley. Because we were too far away, I didn't hear clearly what they said, but I felt that it was not a good thing." The loyal servant whispered.
Mingyue couldn't help but frown.
After the incident of thirty taels of silver, all the people who followed Liu Shumin and Zhang Cuixiu had been taken back by her.
It was only out of consideration for Mr. Lu's safety that she continued to monitor Heizi.
However, she always thought that what happened in her previous life would not happen again, after all, many things had changed completely.
But no one expected that after so much time, Liu Shumin actually contacted Heizi.
Sure enough, in the previous life, the death of Lu’s father was not an accident, but Liu Shumin’s doing.
It makes sense. At that time, Father Lu knew about his daughter and Liu Shumin. After all, Father Lu was a shrewd businessman, and naturally would not be as easily deceived as Lu Mingyue. So he would definitely stop his daughter from being with a man who deceived her. This led to Liu Shumin wanting Father Lu to disappear.
Only if Lu's father disappeared would the Lu family's wealth fall into Liu Shumin's hands.
As for the connection between Liu Shumin and the black mole in this life, Mingyue was a little confused.
After all, under the current circumstances, even if something happened to Lu's father, Mingyue would not have anything to do with Liu Shumin.
But no matter what, Liu Shumin's plan was in vain.
Moreover, Mingyue had an idea and she wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Of course, those who do wrong must be punished. Originally, Mingyue wanted to see the Zhang and Liu families fight each other, but now, she wants Liu Shumin to suffer the consequences of his own actions.
“Well, you go back and continue to stare at the mole, and... when the time comes, you do this... then..." Mingyue whispered to the loyal servant.
The loyal servant nodded repeatedly, and after receiving the twenty taels of silver reward from Mingyue, he left with great enthusiasm.
Mingyue was perfecting the plan in her mind, and at the same time asked Luwu to go out and inquire about the affairs of the Zhang and Liu families.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
However, Luwu thought that Mingyue was still thinking about Zhang Cuixiu, so she carefully advised him a few words, which made Mingyue laugh and cry.
Mingyue explained, "I just heard some interesting things about the Zhang family. I was a little curious, so I wanted to know the whole story. It has nothing to do with caring about Zhang Cuixiu."
Only then did Lu Wu feel relieved and went out to find out what happened.
After more than two hours, Lu Wu came back with an indescribable look on her face.
Then Mingyue listened to a big drama.
It turned out that Zhang and Liu had a huge quarrel over the ten taels of silver. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were close neighbors and turned into enemies. If there was no evidence that Liu Shumin had cheated the silver, this matter would have been reported to the county government.
Zhang even said that she would rather marry her daughter to a chicken or a dog than to a liar named Liu.
Liu's mother also immediately refuted that her son had already been engaged to marry the niece of the eldest son's wife. If your daughter Zhang wants to marry in, it's fine, but our Liu family will reluctantly consider it if she becomes a concubine.
For Zhang Cuixiu, who liked Liu Shumin, she felt like the sky was falling when the mistresses of the two families said this.
What made Zhang Cuixiu even more uncomfortable was that her brother Min never stood up to say a word for her from the beginning to the end, nor did he refute Liu's mother's words that they had already been married, and he even avoided her eyes.
However, Zhang Cuixiu did not get angry at that time and kept stopping her mother, because at that time she still felt that she and Brother Min were in love with each other, and the relatives of both sides were just angry, and there was still room for everything to turn around.
Even though Zhang was keeping a close eye on her during those days and Zhang Cuixiu had no chance to look for Brother Min, she felt that Brother Min must be in the same mood as she was, speaking good words and pleading for the other party, and thinking about the other party in the same way.
As a result, just a few days later, Zhang Cuixiu heard that the Liu family had already given a small betrothal gift to the girl.
Of course Zhang Cuixiu didn't believe that Brother Min would like another woman, but she still lost her mind amid her mother Zhang's ridicule.
Zhang Cuixiu secretly ran out of the door and went to the home of the girl that Liu Shumin was engaged to. She made a big fuss at that family, saying that they were forcing her brother Min, that a forced melon is not sweet, and that she and brother Min are true love.
Although that family was also concerned about Liu Shumin's reputation as a literary star, they also truly loved their daughter. After being troubled by Zhang Cuixiu, they went to the Liu family to ask for an explanation, otherwise they would cancel the engagement.
After hearing about this, the people from the Liu family went to the Zhang family in a rage to make trouble.
Liu's mother even pointed at Zhang Cuixiu's nose and scolded her for being shameless and ruining other people's marriages.
Mrs. Liu even said something like "she is willing to be humiliated". Naturally, the other sisters-in-law of the Liu family also had nothing good to say and kept belittling Zhang Cuixiu to the bottom of the ground.
Although Zhang also hated her daughter's disappointment, she felt that Liu Shumin had deceived her daughter, and immediately joined the Liu family in cursing.
Listening to those hurtful words, Zhang Cuixiu burst into tears, but Liu Shumin just watched coldly.
"I heard from the old lady next door who was watching the fun that in the end Miss Zhang cried and asked the man surnamed Liu whether he really wanted to marry someone else or stay with her?" Lu Wu shook her head and said with some pity: "The man surnamed Liu actually said that he and Miss Zhang were just neighbors and Miss Zhang had no right to control who he married. Miss Zhang cried so loudly that she fainted in the end. Now Miss Zhang goes to the gate of the Liu family and the academy of the Liu family every few days to cry and make a scene. The Liu family's marriage plan has been ruined and he can't continue his studies. This is really ugly."
Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Without the wealth contributed by Lu Mingyue, the true love between Zhang Cuixiu and Liu Shumin would be so vulnerable.
Neighbors, tut tut tut…
Zhang Cuixiu is not someone who is so easy to deal with. Even with her pestering him like this, Liu Shumin still has time to harm Lu's father. He is really amazing.
However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Mingyue is now just waiting for Heizi to take action!
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Liu Shumin looked around in panic, and then said to Heizhi impatiently, "Didn't we agree to wait for my gesture to take action in two days? Why are you looking for me now?"
Black Mole looked at him gloomily: "I suddenly remembered that you haven't given me the token yet. What if you cheat after the matter is accomplished?"
