When the servant arrived at Liu's house, he first asked whether the Shangshu was in the house, and then said that his son had something important to tell Shangshu Liu.
This servant had followed Gao An to Minister Liu's residence more than once. The people at the door knew that their minister wanted to promote a candidate, so they naturally did not dare to offend him and took him to Minister Liu's study.
Outside the door, the carriage turned a corner and left the Shangshu Mansion.
"Miss, you actually came to the Shangshu Mansion!" Yu Dong looked at his young lady with admiration. The whole journey here was exactly as the young lady had planned.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"Go back home first. You've been out for a while today and grandma must be worried." Qu Moying smiled slightly. It happened that she had to go out for something today, so she came over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the person I saw was Gao An, which made things even simpler. Gao An was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, and he was also a person who repaid kindness with enmity. Such a person, even if he saw something that was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself, would not remind others unnecessarily, and might even observe without knowing the etiquette.
That saves me some thought...
"Miss, are we using Madam Liu's nickname correctly? If not, will Madam Liu find out something?" Yu Dong said worriedly. He had specially inquired about this nickname from an old maid in the Duke of Qi's mansion.
The servants nowadays basically don't know about it, and they say that they have used it many times, but have never used it again after they got married. It was Madam Liu who was particularly careful about it. The old Duke and Madam Qi told her that since she was married, she should not use this nickname, otherwise she would lose her dignity.
At that time, the old Duke and the Lady Dowager thought that she had just gotten married and wanted to show off her status. The nickname did not sound so impressive, so they did not allow them to call her by it. So they did not take it seriously and always called her by her full name from then on.
"Since she said so specifically, this nickname must have other uses and she doesn't want more people to know it." Qu Moyingyan smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Madam Liu is definitely not just a woman in the backyard. She wants more, and every step may be well calculated. Since she knew this identity early on, she said nothing and even forced my mother to death. On the surface, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her, which shows how deep her mind is.
Would a woman like this not allow people to call her by her nickname just to establish her authority? Besides, the people who called her by her nickname were only relatives of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. What did it have to do with her establishing her authority in the residence of Minister Liu
The most likely possibility is that she needs this nickname to refer to herself, so that even if others find the letter, they will not know it is written to her.
Of course, it doesn't matter if this guess is incorrect, Minister Liu just needs to believe it...
"Has your master read this letter?" Minister Liu held the letter tightly in his hand, his face pale and gloomy.
"Our master hasn't read it. He said the letter was from someone else, so how could he have read it?" the servant reported.
Minister Liu's expression eased slightly after hearing these words. He carefully checked the servant a few more times and saw that he was behaving normally. Then he waved his hand and said, "Tell your young master, thank you very much. This is a letter from a close friend of Madam Liu. I thought it would be troublesome if it was lost. Letters from close friends cannot be spread to the market."
"I understand." The servant said hurriedly.
"Go down!" Minister Liu waved his hand, and the servant withdrew. The servant who walked to the door of Liu Mansion handed him a purse.
The servant left Liu Mansion happily.
The study room became quiet. Minister Liu leaned his head against the back of his chair, his eyes tightly closed, but his breathing became unconsciously heavier.
It took him a long while to open his eyes and he cursed, "This bitch!"
The letter was placed on the table. He grabbed the crumpled piece of letter paper and clenched it tightly in his fist. A trace of blood flashed in his eyes, but then he slowly relaxed, calmed down, flattened the letter paper and threw it into his sleeve.
"Sir!" When the servant saw him coming out, he hurriedly saluted.
Minister Liu walked out with a gloomy face, and the servant hurriedly followed him.
Minister Liu walked very fast, and the servant had to jog to catch up with him. He stole a glance at his master's face, then looked in the direction where his master went. The servant's face turned bitter. He was going to the backyard again. Was he going to look for his wife again
The masters don't have a good relationship with each other, and the servants are not easy to get along with either, especially his own wife who is also a strong person. If things get to the point in the end, I'm afraid that these servants will suffer again.
But now is not the time for a servant like him to think about such things.
Along the way, all the maids and old women they met stepped aside respectfully and saluted. Everyone could taste the aura before the storm on their masters' faces.
All the way to Madam Liu's courtyard, the maids and old women in the courtyard hurriedly bowed. One of the old women, seeing that the situation was not good, was about to sneak in to report, but was kicked aside by Minister Liu.
He kicked the door of the main room open. Madam Liu in the inner room was instructing her confidants to do something. When she heard the noise outside, her face turned cold and she scolded, "Go and see who is so rude."
"Rules? It seems that Madam knows the rules?" Minister Liu appeared at the door of the inner room with a gloomy face.
The two maids bowed hastily.
"Get out!" Minister Liu said sternly.
“Husband… Madam…” After being stunned for a moment, the two maids turned to look at Madam Liu.
"Why, the master of this house is the madam and not me?" Minister Liu said gloomily, clenching his fists tightly under his sleeves.
“Sir… Sir…” Madam Liu’s two trusted maids also panicked.
"Get out!" Minister Liu shouted sternly.
"You go down first. I have something to talk to the Minister." Madam Liu suddenly spoke up without making things difficult for her two confidants.
The old woman didn't dare to say anything else and retreated cautiously. She only turned back to look worriedly at Madam Liu lying on the bed.
Compared to the aggressive Madam Liu, Lord Liu looked much more dangerous, but at this moment they did not dare to say anything and could only retreat outside to guard.
"How come you have time to come here today, Your Excellency? Is there anything?" Madam Liu looked at the furious Minister Liu, but she remained calm and asked with a smile.
"Qi Xiejiao, where did you get this letter?" Minister Liu stared at Qi with a gloomy face, and reached out to throw the letter from his sleeve over to her.
Mrs. Liu was stunned and subconsciously tried to grab it, but it was a little off and the letter hit her delicate face, causing great pain.
Madam Liu's face changed, and she could no longer maintain her peaceful smile. She reached out and took the letter in front of her. It was crumpled and then flattened, and it was obvious that Minister Liu had already read it.
Madam Liu's eyes fell on it and her expression changed immediately.
"Who sent you this letter? Why did they say it so intimately? They wanted to help you get revenge, so you can wait for the big plan with peace of mind. What revenge? What big plan?" Minister Liu was trembling with anger.
Xie Jiao, do you have someone else outside? "
The letter was written in a very intimate tone, and it was obvious that it was written by a close relative. Qi Xiejiao's nickname was even used on it, which most people would definitely not know.
Nowadays, no one calls someone by such a nickname anymore, but it is Madam Liu's nickname written on it. As for the words written to comfort her, it can be seen that they are because of recent events, and even Qu Moying is mentioned. As for Minister Liu, he is also severely belittled in the letter.
What do you mean he is not a man? What's the use of such a man? Just throw him away as soon as possible. A two-legged frog is hard to find, but is it not hard to find a two-legged person
He also said that he had found out that Minister Liu was not clean outside, so she didn't need to panic and just wait for the future plan to be accomplished...
"Qi Xiejiao, who wrote this letter to you?" Minister Liu asked sternly, looking at Madam Liu's beautiful face with a hint of disgust. The more he looked at this face, the more disgusted he felt.
Even felt nauseous.
The disgust and nausea in his eyes irritated Madam Liu, who sneered: "Who wrote it to me, what does it have to do with you? Aren't you always thinking about your little lover? So many years have passed, even if that bitch is dead, you still can't forget it and miss it all the time?"
Although she didn't care about Minister Liu, she was still annoyed when she thought that he had another woman in his heart for so many years. However, she had more things to do and didn't want to pursue it too much in the past, so she just let him go.
"Shut up!" Minister Liu's face was filled with rage. He was an extremely powerful official. In the past, whenever he got angry in the yamen, the people below him would not dare to say a word.
But such a Minister Liu could not shock Madam Liu. She leaned back and laughed sarcastically, "What? Are you still afraid of what others say? Liu Borui, others only thought you were a good person, but they didn't expect that you were greedy for someone else's wife, and the wife of your subordinate. Why didn't you keep her outside and give birth to a few bastards for fun..."
Mrs. Liu would occasionally say such things in the past, and she thought it was no big deal. Could it be that Liu Borui really dared to get angry with her
He said it lightly, with a mocking expression: "But it is possible that those bastards are really wild. Who knows if they were cuckolded!"
Doesn't he care about Xiaoyue? Then she will trample Xiaoyue under her feet.
When Madam Liu thought of this woman, she felt herself getting furious. Fortunately, this woman died, otherwise who knows what would have happened. Her identity, her status, and even everything she had might have been taken away by Xiao Yue.
Since you have already left, you should have stayed away from me. Why come back and attract my attention? Isn't that just seeking death
As for Liu Borui's anger, she really didn't care. At most, she would give herself a slap. Of course, she was stunned last time, so she must fight back this time. She had never suffered such a big loss at the hands of Liu Borui...
Madam Liu continued to attack Minister Liu as usual.
Minister Liu was furious, the veins on his forehead bulged, his teeth cut into the flesh, and he cursed her fiercely, "Bitch!"
He suddenly pounced on her, stretched out his hand and pinched her neck fiercely.
Her fragile neck was strangled and she felt suffocated. Madam Liu struggled desperately and tried to push Minister Liu away, but she was no match for him and was pressed down on the bed.
Difficulty breathing, confusion...
