"You're sick. I think they don't want to pay attention to you!" Minister Liu said unwillingly.
The sound of two maids being beaten could be heard in the yard. Madam Liu was so angry that she gathered the quilt beside her and said sternly, "Liu Borui, release them quickly, or I will never let you go."
"You won't let me go? Okay, I'll wait for you not to let me go!" Liu Borui's eyes were like sharp swords, stabbing Madam Liu fiercely, "I only hate why I chose a shrew like you in the first place. Why did you let a shrew like you fall in love with me? Not only did you ruin my marriage, but you also hurt me to this extent."
After saying this, he felt deeply saddened.
"Weren't you very happy when I chose you? If it weren't for our Duke of Qi's Mansion, would you still be the Minister now?" Madam Liu sneered without flinching, "As for your good marriage, on the one hand, you told the people from the Yue family that you would marry a Yue after you won the prize, and on the other hand, you had an ambiguous relationship with the maid beside you early on, and even promised her the position of noble concubine and equal wife. It's really a good marriage. If Xiao Yue was still alive, she would have to thank me."
"You... you shrew..." Minister Liu's face turned red and white in anger. The old things, especially the marriage in Yue Mansion, were what he was most reluctant to mention. He was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped up and down, but he couldn't do anything to Madam Liu. Finally, he stomped his feet fiercely and said, "Okay... okay, okay, I will have someone watch over this place from now on, and no one is allowed to come in. Let's see who dares to disobey my will."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out. Madam Liu's sharp and urgent voice came from behind him: "Let him go, let him go!"
The originally soft and gentle voice became sharp and harsh because of her urgency. There was no trace of the demeanor of a lady from a famous family. Minister Liu only hated himself for being blind. He actually thought that marrying her, although he was not happy, would at least help him a lot in his career. After all, she was a lady from a famous family with extraordinary demeanor.
There was disgust in his eyes. He exhaled deeply and watched the two old women being executed in the yard. After leaving two guards behind, he took the others away.
The two guards then supervised the yard and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. If there was anything, they would leave it in the yard and would not allow anyone else to go in to guard it.
"Father!" Liu Jingyu hurried over after hearing the news and quickly saluted when he saw Minister Liu.
Minister Liu stopped, took a deep breath and said bluntly: "Yu'er, father has been demoted to Minister."
"Why?" Liu Jingyu was shocked and asked hurriedly. She only found out about what happened yesterday later, and she was still confused. Why did her father become like this? The most important thing was why did her father have a daughter and a son? The daughter was even older than her. Her father... was really not the father she had imagined.
"Court officials, please report that my father will be at home for the next month and will not have to attend court." Minister Liu lowered his head with a bitter smile, "When the Crown Prince saw me before, he ignored me. I wonder if this will cause any trouble for the Crown Prince."
The prince's in-laws' family has always been a part of the group that has to be considered for strength.
The Yue family is very powerful, so this prince or prince has a lot of support behind him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyu's eyes widened in anxiety: "Father..."
"It's your father's fault that your mother made such a fuss. Originally, this matter could have been resolved privately, but your mother couldn't tolerate a concubine and made such a big fuss." Liu
The assistant minister pressed his eyebrows, which were tightly furrowed and twitched a few times.
Liu Jingyu tightly grasped the handkerchief, exerting force to suppress his anger, "Father, what should we do now?"
At this time, my father was still lying to me with sweet words. If she was really just a concubine, why didn't he bring it up for so many years? It's not like my mother didn't let him take a concubine, but she kept her outside. It's obvious that he had big plans for her, and an ordinary concubine wouldn't be enough.
"You are the one who can make decisions in the mansion now. You should bring them in for your mother. At the very least, they are your sisters and brothers. Everything in the mansion will be yours from now on." Minister Liu said with a headache. It would be best if Madam Liu handled this matter, but looking at her expression, Minister Liu knew there was no hope.
Besides, he hated her for running out and causing such trouble, which made him lose face.
"Father, how can Yu'er be in charge of such matters?" Liu Jingyu's voice rose unconsciously. She was a daughter, but she welcomed people in on behalf of her mother, and at a time like this. Wasn't this a slap in the face to her mother
"What should we do now? Someone has to solve the problem. Why don't you go and persuade your mother?" Minister Qu's face turned cold and he said unhappily, "She must come in. After all, she is my flesh and blood. I can't stay outside and let people point fingers and gossip about her. I won't be able to face people in the future."
"Father, what about me? Have you ever considered my feelings?" Liu Jingyu's tears fell. Her father and mother each had their own thoughts, and it turned out that no one cared about her.
After something like this happened, shouldn't the most embarrassed person be her, the future Crown Princess
"Well, you are the future Crown Princess. Who would tell you this in person? You and the Crown Prince are getting married now. You should let others see your generosity and composure. You must not let others think you are petty. After this, when you enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, there will be many concubines and concubines. As a principal wife, you need to be generous."
Minister Liu lectured, waving his hand impatiently, "I don't need to talk about this kind of thing. Think about it yourself. Where have you learned the past female teachings? You must not learn something unvirtuous from your mother. You will marry into the royal family in the future, and your father has no confidence to let you learn from your mother. If this matter is handled well, it will be good for you and your reputation!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, his face looking gloomy and irritable.
Liu Jingyu was left alone behind him, gritting his teeth, his eyes darkening...
Qu Moying went to Ling Anbo's mansion in person to deliver New Year gifts.
She didn't want to break off the relationship with this "relative" of the Ling Anbo Mansion, and she couldn't do it yet, so she sent New Year gifts specially to show her care.
Madam Ji received her unhappily. Without saying a word, she asked her to follow Madam Duan to the main room, saying that she was not in good spirits and looked tired, and it was obvious that she was being treated poorly.
Qu Moying stood up politely, bowed to Madam Ji, and left with Madam Duan. As he left the yard, he unexpectedly met Ji Youran and Xiao.
Today is the day Ji Youran returns home, reportedly to give New Year gifts.
Of course, sending New Year gifts is also a polite way of speaking. Like Qu Moying, she doesn't have to come in person, but she can come. It represents her thoughts, and it is reasonable to find an excuse to go back to her parents' home.
Qu Moying stood still and bowed to Ji Youran together with Madam Duan. Ji Youran stood still.
