"What method can we use to get Liu Borui to come over and talk?" Mrs. Liu asked angrily.
"This... Of course not!" The old woman said in a panic. Both of them were badly injured in this beating. They were a little scared when they heard Liu Borui's name.
"What should I do?"
"Madam, you can do whatever you want as long as the county lady doesn't do anything!" Another maid also understood what the previous maid said, and came up to Madam Liu and said in a low voice.
My wife has a lot of people under her command, and what she gave to the county lady is only a small part of it.
"Don't they want to enter the mansion as concubines? Then let them in, but they have to prepare before coming in. If anything happens at this time, it can't be blamed on our mansion. Maybe they will even say that our mansion is kind, the madam is kind, and the county lady is kind." The old woman said with a smile.
"Do it in secret?" Madam Liu understood, "But I can't get out now!"
"The county lady can go out now. Madam, you just need to write a letter and send it out!" the old woman continued to suggest.
Madam Liu was excited by this proposal. She had poor legs and feet and was disliked by the Duke of Qi. Liu Borui felt that the Duke of Qi's mansion did not support her and dared to take action against her. He restricted her travel and also beat her confidants and locked them up. Madam Liu wanted to do something, so she had to entrust it to her daughter.
"Okay!" Madam Liu looked at her daughter, who seemed aggrieved but whom she had always admired, gritted her teeth and nodded.
Even if he was just a tool, he was her tool. Not only had this tool alienated her a long time ago, but now he had made her feel unpopular with everyone. How could she simply let him go
After writing the letter and handing it to Liu Jingyu, Liu Jingyu withdrew and instructed the people in the yard to serve Madam Liu well.
He left the courtyard with a maid.
Behind a tree near the wall of the courtyard gate, Minister Liu stood there with his hands behind his back. When he saw his daughter coming, his face became even gloomier.
There was a clear palm print on her daughter's fair face. Needless to say, it was Qi Xiejiao who hit her. She was really crazy to be so cruel.
My daughter is the future Crown Princess. Only with my daughter will I have everything in the future. So what if I am only the Vice Minister now!
This is also an important reason why Minister Liu is so stable now.
Moreover, his daughter was so considerate. He vaguely heard some of what was said just now. Qi Xiejiao not only beat his daughter, but also slandered and insulted him. Thinking of the hatred, he clenched his teeth, this vicious woman!
Why did he marry this vicious woman in the first place!
"Jingyu, did she hit you?" Seeing his daughter coming over, Minister Liu's expression softened a little and he walked forward to ask with concern.
"It's nothing, mother is in a bad mood!" Liu Jingyu said softly, reaching out to take a handkerchief to cover her face, as if she didn't want Minister Liu to see the slap mark on her face, but the grievance in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed, making Minister Liu feel even more distressed.
He had raised this daughter with all his heart and doted on her. How could she have ever suffered such a great injustice? Qi Xiejiao was really crazy.
"Come and visit her less in the future. Wait until her temper improves. With her temper, even your grandfather's family dislikes her." Minister Liu said angrily, "She is willing to offend everyone around her before she is satisfied!"
"Father, it's okay. It's not a big deal.
It will be over in a while, my mother agreed to that matter!" Liu Jingyu smiled softly, but there were tears in her eyes.
That forced smile made Minister Liu feel distressed. Minister Liu did not feel he owed Qi Xiejiao anything. Qi Xiejiao was not a good person to begin with, otherwise she would not have taken away someone else's marriage. He now suspected that Qi Xiejiao was really the mastermind behind Xiao Yue's murder.
The reason was because he was going to marry Xiao Yue before.
Thinking about it this way, he felt more and more that Qi Xiejiao was extremely vicious and had no bottom line, and that he was just a victim who knew nothing. If it weren't for Qi Xiejiao, he would not only be able to let his cousin marry him, but also marry the gentle Xiao Yue. Where would all these troubles come from
Considering the old Duke's esteem for Xiao Yue, he must be a minister by now at least, and a minister of works with a beautiful wife and concubines.
It is even more impossible for him to fall to this point, with even his reputation being ruined by Qi Xiejiao.
"Jingyu, this time it's all thanks to you. Don't worry, even if Hua and the others come into the mansion, the children she gives birth to will not be you. You will always be my father's most beloved daughter. This time, my father will give you more dowry. Everything in this mansion originally belonged to you, so what if you have a younger brother!"
Liu Borui assured Liu Jingyu with a distressed look.
"Father... I don't want... so much, I just hope you and mother are fine!" Liu Jingyu finally couldn't help crying.
"Okay, okay, we will be fine, we will be fine, you just need to stay in the East Palace well in the future." Liu Borui coaxed, patted his daughter's shoulder, his voice choked, "Even if your mother is not good... As a father, I will not do anything to her for your sake!"
"Thank you, father!" Liu Jingyu bowed.
Liu Borui hurriedly helped her up, "It's okay, don't feel wronged, then it's settled, let them enter the mansion in the next two days, the mansion is in a mess now, and you have to prepare for the marriage, how can you do it without someone to help you? After Hua enters the mansion, she can help you!"
Liu Borui said with emotion.
At this point, this matter must be resolved. His offspring is outside the mansion, how can he feel at ease? He must bring him in. He was originally worried that Qi Xiejiao would make a fuss and that the Duke of Qi’s Mansion would not let him go, but he did not expect things to turn out like this. It is a blessing in disguise.
Liu Borui felt relieved, and even showed a bit of joy on his face, but he didn't notice that his crying daughter looked up at him with a sneer in her mockery. He rolled the letter in his sleeve, and then wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief to wipe away the sneer in his eyes...
He had just been wholeheartedly expressing his sympathy for his father, but now he could actually smile. Was it because he was going to have another son
Hua has been very happy these days. She has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now she was not at all ashamed or resentful about what happened that day.
Things actually had such an unexpected result. Not only could she enter the Liu Mansion, but she could also become his concubine. Although it was a little different from the equal wife she had thought of before, what did it matter? It was just a matter of time. After all, she had given birth to the only son.
Mrs. Liu is now seriously injured and unable to get up. The county lady is preparing to get married, so she will be the head of the family when she enters the mansion. After the county lady gets married, the Liu Mansion will
Everything you own is yours.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that his cousin's position as Shangshu was changed to Shilang.
But Hua thought it was okay. Since her cousin was able to sit in the position of Shangshu in the past, he could certainly do it now. It was just a matter of time. With Hua's knowledge, she always felt that her cousin was very capable. As long as she kept pestering her cousin, she would definitely be able to live the life of a noble lady that she had always envied.
Everything is so beautiful now!
Things have been packed up and are almost done. She has lived in this yard for about ten years. The place she lived in at the beginning was not so good. Later, her cousin got a promotion, and the yard she lived in was different from the original one, and her life became better and better.
Because she lived a good life and had no worries about money, Hua felt that even if she had a concubine, it was no big deal. At least she had money to earn and her cousin would come over from time to time.
The only bad thing was that her neighbors would ask her about her husband, which made her feel difficult to say. On the surface, she was a businessman, but she looked like an abandoned woman and would be looked down upon by some people.
It’s different now, she is the wife of the Minister!
Hua was very proud, so she specially had someone make some cakes, put red stamps on them, and distributed them together with some candies to the neighbors. She didn't say anything, just said that there was a happy event in the family, so that people around her could share in the joy.
Such a big thing happened, of course everyone around knew about it, and they secretly despised it, but on the surface they still had to put on a smiling face and give their blessings.
Hua was in a good mood and even went to the gate of her own house to direct her servants to tie a red ribbon at the gate, so that more people could see her festive mood.
The top of the ribbon at the door was never tied properly.
Hua came over to give instructions, and her son was pulled aside to play. She said the piercing was too small, too far to the side, and ugly...
All these accusations seem to be like a daughter-in-law who has finally become a mother-in-law after many years and is now in charge.
The servant climbing on the ladder turned pale when he was accused, and the servant holding the ladder below lowered his head helplessly, fearing that he would be scolded.
The accident happened at this time. Hua was criticizing so vigorously that she asked the servant above to move a little further away. The servant holding the ladder somehow slipped and his hand loosened, and the servant above fell down with the ladder.
Hua was standing under the ladder. She quickly ran away two steps and was about to scold again when she suddenly heard her son's panicked cry. She turned her head quickly and rushed over in horror when she saw the scene in front of her.
The ladder fell heavily on the little boy who was running over to play. His crying turned into a scream, and it stopped abruptly.
Hua Shi tripped and fell to the ground. She didn't care about the pain in her feet and crawled to her son's side, shouting uncontrollably: "Someone, come quickly..."
Among the people who were originally gathered outside to watch the fun, a man threw down the other stones in his hand and turned away.
He squeezed his way through the crowd of onlookers, stood still on the street for a while, and then began to wander around, as if he was just an idler. He then wandered to a very ordinary small shop, looked around, and turned in.
After entering the door, he walked past a waiter and then left through the back door. The waiter inside acted as if he didn’t see him…
