Chapter 7 Return to Pingnan Marquis Mansion
Feng Mo didn't notice that Liu Yu and her companions' carriage quietly drove away from the Nanshi neighborhood while he was dealing with the old man's affairs.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Mr. Chen San who came out from behind the curtain. He originally wanted to come out to take a look at the younger generation of the family. Since he had such courage, he thought he could put him in the mother's name and educate him well.
Watching the carriage gradually disappearing in the streets of Nanshi, a fleeting smile flashed across Mr. Chen San's eyes.
"Third Master, Doctor Su is here, but the old man refuses to be seen." Feng Mo walked out of the crowd, came to Third Master Chen, and reported with shame.
If there weren't so many people watching, he would have made the whole family bow their heads in no time.
Master Chen San stopped pulling out the sandalwood beads and looked at Feng Mo with indifference.
Feng Mo held his breath. Even though his master said nothing and his expression didn't change, as someone who had served him for many years, he knew that the Third Master was angry.
Mr. Chen San no longer looked at Feng Mo. He was still wearing the purple court robe of a third-rank official. He raised his long legs and walked calmly to the old man's family.
"My name is Chen Zhihe. I have the final say on all matters in the Chen Mansion. Tell me, why don't you let the doctor see the patient?" Chen Zhihe's voice was not loud, even gentle, but the old man's family felt completely oppressed.
The two sons of the old man, who had been shouting loudly before, were now as silent as cicadas, not daring to make a single sound.
This is the difference between officials and the people. Officials have been baptized in the vortex of power for many years, and the murderous aura they have developed makes the people scared. What's more, the officials are in a high position like Mr. Chen San. It all depends on whether he wants to or not. Sometimes, just a look from him can frighten the timid people so much that their legs go weak.
Just like now, the old man collapsed on his son, shaking his head in fear.
Mr. Chen San retracted his gaze and said to Doctor Su, who was standing beside him with a medicine box on his back:
"Show it to the old man!"
The old man's son came to his senses. Although his legs were shaking with fear, he thought that he had not done what he promised to the nobleman. If the nobleman blamed him, he would be in trouble.
He gritted his teeth, tried to stop Doctor Su, and stammered:
"wait…"
Mr. Chen San glanced at him sideways and indifferently.
With just this one glance, the words that the old man's son was about to say got stuck in his throat, and he fell to his knees.
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture also rushed over at this time and compiled the document for Mr. Chen Sanye.
Mr. Chen nodded and explained what happened:
"This old man said that it was my carriage that hit him, but some people also said that he deliberately hit my carriage. I found a doctor and asked him to go with you to Shuntian Prefecture to have the coroner examine the wound again."
"Check if there is really any difficulty. Don't sentence me anyway just because of me."
"Yes." Shuntian Prefecture Governor wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed respectfully: "I obey your command."
Mr. Chen San nodded, turned around and returned to his sedan chair, lowered the curtain, and said indifferently outside: "Let's go! Go back to the mansion."
Feng Mo, who was walking behind, was still looking around, looking for the carriage carrying Liu Yu.
"Don't look, the person has already left." The voice of Master Chen San came from the sedan chair.
"Oh" Feng Mo then realized that he had been deceived. He decided in his heart that he must find Liu Yu and the others after returning home.
Little did they know that, in addition to Prince Qi who was unwilling to leave, the scene that just happened was also seen by another person with ulterior motives.
On this side, Liu Yu had already returned to the Mansion of Marquis Pingnan. She finally let go of the worry in her heart. She first instructed the maid to take the groom from the Chen residence to the palace doctor to get medicine, and then she stepped into the Mansion of Marquis Pingnan.
As soon as she entered the mansion, she saw Chuntao, who had served her since childhood, waiting at the gate.
"Girl, you are finally back." Chuntao felt a sour nose.
She handed Chuntao a handkerchief:
"Where's my aunt? Is she doing well?"
Chun Tao nodded with a red nose: "Don't worry, my aunt's life is much better than before."
"That's the old lady's kindness." Bai Wei snorted.
Kindness? The porridge that was so bland that the bottom could be seen, the steamed buns that were so hard that they could make your teeth break, the winter clothes that were getting colder and colder, the memories of each of these things are still so clear.
Liu Yu smiled and changed the subject to ask Chun Tao:
"Are the second sister and the sixth sister back?"
Chun Tao: "The second young lady has already arrived at Fuhe Hall, but the sixth young lady has not yet arrived..."
"Fifth sister."
Speak of Cao Cao, he appears. While Liu Yu and the others were talking, Liu Huan stepped into the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion and caught up with Liu Yu.
Her face was as gloomy as water and she looked at Liu Yu with an unfriendly look.
Liu Yu also noticed it, nodded lightly, and quickened his pace, not wanting to have too much contact with Liu Huan.
As early as yesterday when she asked Bai Wei to deliver a letter to Prince Qi's Mansion, Liu Yu knew that her already bad relationship with Liu Huan would only get worse.
She didn't feel it was a pity either, as she didn't want to have a close relationship with Liu Huan anyway.
In the previous life, after Master Chen San died, her younger sister often used Master Chen San's name to hunt for men in Yanjing and spread rumors about the Chen Mansion. Later, she even tried to seduce Prince Qi behind her back.
Even if she had told her at that time, Liu Yu would have taken her into the harem on behalf of Prince Qi as long as he was willing.
Liu Huan called Liu Yu because she wanted Liu Yu to explain everything to her. Once she entered Fuhe Hall, she couldn't ask anything. How could Liu Huan let people into Fuhe Hall without asking clearly?
"Tell me, are you still dreaming of entering Prince Qi's mansion and gaining his favor?" Liu Huan grabbed Liu Yu and glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of defensiveness.
Otherwise, how would Liu Yu know Prince Qi's preferences? He even knew how Prince Qi liked women to behave in bed. This clearly showed that he had studied it carefully.
Thinking about last night, when she followed the instructions in Liu Yu's letter to her and really won the favor of King Qi, her heart trembled.
Liu Yu was clearly wearing only a plain gauze dress made of ordinary material, with only a silk flower in her hair, and her makeup was even more bland. She just stood there, and her whole person was as dazzling as a pearl, making people unable to take their eyes away at first sight.
Which man would not be attracted by such a stunningly beautiful Liu Yu? If she were to enter Prince Qi's mansion, there would be no place for her to stand.
If Liu Yu dares to have other ideas about Prince Qi, then don't blame her.
Thinking this in his mind, Liu Huan also revealed a murderous look on his face.
Liu Yu had seen this kind of look many times in the harem in his previous life, so he was very familiar with it.
Liu Yu calmly pried open Liu Huan's hand that was holding her arm, and said neither lightly nor heavily:
"Sixth sister, do you think you will have anything to do with me if I want to enter Prince Qi's mansion?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Qi would never like a vixen like you." Liu Huan stared at her.
I’m afraid Liu Huan himself doesn’t believe what he said!
Liu Yu chuckled and shook her head. She no longer had the desire to answer Liu Huan. She stepped through the door and entered Fuhe Hall.
In Fuhe Hall, Old Madam Liu and Liu Ying were holding hands and expressing their love for each other in the main seat. When they saw Liu Yu coming in, the smile on Old Madam Liu's face faded, and she even picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Liu Yu who came in through the door.
