Liu Yao said in a low voice: "One thing, I still admire Eldest Sister, the people under Eldest Sister are not mediocre."
Liu Yu didn't make a sound, waiting for Liu Yao to continue.
Liu Yao seemed a little tired, and also a little cold, her face turned pale again, she said: "An accident happened in the mansion, no matter whether there are servants who sell their lives or not, those who should go, those who shouldn't go, all ran away, my house" Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, looked up at the empty room, and laughed at herself: "All night's work has been emptied."
Liu Yu closed his eyes, and said in a painful voice, "It's because of my brother that I have troubled you."
Liu Yao looked at her elder brother with her expression unchanged: "Brother, you don't need to say such things. It's not your fault, it's not my fault, it's not even my father's fault, and it's not my elder sister's fault. .”
Liu Yu never expected Liu Yao to say such a thing, paused, and said: "You have grown up."
"How can I not grow up?" Liu Yao said with dim eyes: "Brother thinks I'm a fool? I still divide who is good and who is bad. I didn't distinguish before, because even if we don't, the sky is still there, and it won't fall down." I can’t be harmed, regardless of whether I’m divided. But once the sky collapses, people must learn to protect themselves and be sensible. Life is reserved for those who know what’s interesting, and those who don’t know what’s interesting will not be able to live.”
Hearing these words, Liu Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Although Liu Yao's words were realistic, they revealed a sense of great grief that was too thick and heavy, and even made him start to suppress it.
Liu Yu stepped forward, held his younger sister's hand, tightened it tightly, and said seriously; "Don't worry, everything is over. In the future, you will still be the carefree second lady of Xiangfu. Even if father can't return to his original job, our Liu family If you don't become an official, you won't be short of an inch."
Liu Yao lowered her head, looked at the elder brother's palm, her eyes were a little red, and said: "I heard that the Fifth Prince suffered a misfortune, something happened to his body, and he lost his children and grandchildren."
Liu Yu didn't know why her younger sister mentioned this, but she still nodded and said, "That's what people say."
Liu Yao said: "Then I will bother my brother and be the master for my younger sister. My younger sister is not too young. It should have been time to get married, but the family has changed and I have no time to talk about it. Now, the big thing is over. Please tell my father. My sister is willing." Marrying the fifth prince, being a concubine or being a concubine doesn't matter, and I hope my father will be fulfilled."
Liu Yu's eyes were sharp: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Liu Yao raised her head, her tears were already streaming down, but she still said: "Back then you could exchange the eldest sister's marriage for the honor in front of the Seventh Prince, but now you can use me to win the Fifth Prince, can't it? Is it possible that what the eldest sister can do, I Can't do it? Our Liu family can't fail, big brother, I'm just a daughter, and I'm going to marry someone sooner or later, the fifth prince is suffering from a serious disease, and a girl from a good family won't be willing to marry. Is it okay to be a concubine? Could it be that I'm that bad?"
Liu Yu raised his voice and scolded: "If your parents know that you have such thoughts, look at them and don't break your legs!"
But Liu Yao sniffed, her eyes stubborn: "Brother doesn't help, it's fine, I will find my second brother."
With Liu Kun's temper, I'm afraid he would like to sell Liu Yao and return to his old job. As long as he can re-enter the court as an official, Liu Kun will even do whatever it takes.
With a straight face, Liu Yu lectured: "Just now you said that you have grown up, and now you are becoming self-willed again? You want to compare with your eldest sister, what are you comparing with her?"
Liu Yao couldn't hold back anymore, tears welled up in her eyes: "Am I that bad? Am I that bad?"
Liu Yu asked: "Who gave you the idea of marriage?"
Liu Yao froze and looked up at her eldest brother.
Liu Yu's tone was very light: "Is it Qiao Yun, or that Yue'er?"
Liu Yao shook her head, bit her lip and said, "It's not them, it's my own thought, brother"
"It's not them, then there is only one tongue-grubber left in Liu's mansion." Liu Yu said with a colder expression on his face.
Liu Yao was a little flustered, and wanted to explain something more, but she was afraid that the description would become darker.
But at this moment, Liu Yu said quietly: "Liu Qin, you have failed Aunt Zhong."
Liu Yao became anxious all of a sudden, she was about to speak when she got up.
But Liu Yu said: "Tomorrow there will be distinguished guests in the mansion, you are ready to welcome them with your mother tomorrow."
Liu Yao nodded absently, insisting: "Brother, it's not Liu Qin"
"I know." Liu Yu replied, but his expression did not soften at all.
Liu Yu talked to Liu Yao about tomorrow's banquet, and Liu Yao agreed to them one by one.
After Liu Yu left, Liu Yao hurriedly called Qiao Yun, and said: "Go to Tao Ningyuan and report to Miss San, and ask Miss San to go to Aunt Zhong. If anything happens, it will be better to have Aunt Zhong as a guarantor."
Knowing that something serious happened, Qiao Yun didn't dare to delay, so she went immediately.
After Qiaoyun left, only Liu Yao and Yue'er were left in Bingxingyuan. Liu Yao thought about it and felt it was inappropriate, so she got up and walked out the door.
Yue'er called out, "Where is Second Miss going?"
"Master, I ask mother"
Yue'er went straight over, stopped her, frowned and said, "The maidservant told the lady before that the third lady is uneasy and kind, but now even the young master can see it, miss, why are you so stubborn?"
Liu Yao frowned, with an ugly expression: "Get out of the way, let me go out."
"Slaves don't let me!" Yue'er said firmly: "An accident happened in the Prime Minister's mansion, and the human relationship is cold and warm. For a long time before, the third lady never had any contact with the young lady. What is that for? Isn't it just to please the old lady alone? Three The lady was jealous that the lady had prepared a way out for the lady, but she couldn't count on Aunt Zhong, so she went to the old lady frequently, just to ask the old lady to protect her. At that time, the servant said that life is in danger, people's hearts are exposed, and the third lady is selfish Self-interest, the young lady can't listen to her nonsense, but the young lady just doesn't believe it. Now that the young master has said so, why can't the young lady be sober? Why did the servant come to the Bingxingyuan? Looking at you, you were not good to the slave at the beginning, and the slave didn’t blame you. Afterwards, we got through the difficulties together, and the slave could see clearly that the young lady is not a narrow-minded person, but a villain around you. You have soft ears. Believe it, you can’t think about it yourself, judge by yourself? The old lady said you are stupid, but the maidservant thinks you are not stupid, you are very smart, but if you don’t use this smart energy on the right path, this Xiangfu, now It has become like this, speaking of it, there are only a few people who really want the good of the Xiangfu and revive the Xiangfu, one for you, one for the wife, one for the old lady, one for the young master, one for the master, and no matter how many people there are, it will be true. I can’t count them, do you know why? Because you are the rightful lords of the Liu Mansion, the direct lords, and those who only try to protect themselves and fish in troubled waters are unreliable, miss, do you understand?”
Yue'er talked for a while, seeing that Liu Yao was motionless, she sighed again, grabbed Liu Yao's hand and said, "Your maidservant knows that you don't like Miss San very much, if you changed to before, you would never be angry because of Miss San When you are punished by the master and the young master, and you go to save her, you will even applaud and watch the show happily! But when the house is in trouble, you treat her as a real sister and don't care about the past with her. The young lady once said that this It is the hesitant mentality of people who want to seek a sense of security and empathy when they are in despair, because they feel that if they have suffered together, they will surely share happiness in the future. From this point, we can actually see that Miss, you are a conscientious person. But not everyone thinks that way. The third lady was still jealous of you when you were in trouble, but now that the disaster is over, she even instigated you to voluntarily dedicate yourself to the disabled Fifth Prince to save the Xiangfu. Why do you ask for it? The master and wife didn’t even ask, why should she ask Miss and a daughter to take on the task of raising the family?”
