Chapter 13 It's a pity that he's not a man
Liu Yu couldn't ignore the sound of Mr. Chen San tapping the table slowly. She knew that he was not satisfied with this answer.
After a while of stalemate, it was impossible to evade the question anymore, so she could only continue:
"If I had money, I probably wouldn't give you any money."
"As for why I didn't pay, there were two reasons. First, we were riding in the Chen Mansion's carriage. In that case, paying would just make the people think that the Chen Mansion was guilty, and it would prove that the Chen Mansion was abusing its power to oppress the people."
Jiang Xueqing was dissatisfied and interrupted:
"Humph, you are just talking nonsense. What if the carriage hit someone?"
Liu Yu just glanced at her calmly, and then continued: "This is the second situation I want to talk about. If the carriage really hit him, I will ask a doctor to confirm the extent of the old man's injuries, and then ask the government officials to testify. As for how much silver to pay, it should be determined by the government, not by what they say."
The sons of those old men were not in a hurry to hurt the old men and made a big fuss in the street, which was clearly blackmail. However, when they learned that it was the Chen Mansion's carriage, they were not afraid but were eager to confirm the fact that the carriage hit people. It seemed more like these people were heading for the Chen Mansion.
But who dares to attack the Chen family? Ordinary people and officials certainly don’t dare to do so.
Mr. Chen San was very perceptive, and Liu Yu did not dare to think further, for fear that he would see through him.
"Third Master, I have finished what I want to say." Liu Yu possessed.
Everyone in the room looked at her, some were shocked, some were unbelieving, and some were admiring.
The person who admired it was naturally Mr. Chen Sanye.
He nodded as if he was very satisfied: "I have my own opinions." Even his subordinates and some officials might not have thought of this.
It was rare for her to realize that it was not just a matter of money, but the underlying factor was already rare.
He looked at her. The girl was wearing a brocade skirt made of cloud-like brocade with colorful flowers and flying butterflies, a double-ring bun, and her face was painted with the most popular three-white makeup at the time. She looked pure and elegant, delicate but not vulgar.
Although she was very beautiful, Mr. Chen San just felt it was a pity. In his opinion, there were many beautiful women in Yanjing City, and this woman was pure, brave, knowledgeable and strategic. If she were a man, she would definitely be a great help to the Chen family over time.
Without hearing Mr. Chen Sanye’s voice, Liu Yu felt more and more uneasy as time went on. She raised her head carefully and her eyes ran directly into his dark and heavy eyes. . .
Did he guess that the person in the carriage was her?
Liu Yu immediately retracted his head and clenched his hands unconsciously.
Seeing this, Mr. Chen San didn't want to scare her, so he looked away from her and lowered his head to look at Jiang Xueqing who was still kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Xueqing was lying to begin with, feeling guilty. When Mr. Chen San looked at her, cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead. She was so scared that she immediately knocked her head heavily on the ground and cried like a pear blossom in the rain:
"Third Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. I really admire you, which is why I did such a foolish thing. Please forgive me. I will do my best to serve you in the future..."
Lian Baoer's mouth twitched after hearing this. The matter was exposed, but this person still wanted to enter the Chen Mansion. He was so shameless. I'm afraid he doesn't even need to wear cotton clothes in winter. It's enough for him to have this layer of shamelessness.
Seeing that Mr. Chen San was unmoved, Jiang Xueqing didn't care that there were other people present. Unexpectedly, she suddenly grabbed Mr. Chen San's leg and tried to push herself up...
"Third Master, can you please give me a chance..."
This time, not only Lian Baoer opened his eyes wide, but even Liu Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Fortunately, Feng Mo was quick-witted and kicked Jiang Xueqing away.
Mr. Chen San's eyes turned a little colder. He was still wearing the same green robe, looking handsome and elegant, but the aura he exuded was frightening.
He first waved to Liu Yu and Lian Baoer:
"You two should step back first."
Liu Yu was able to sit on the throne of the empress in her previous life, so she knew best what to look at and what not to look at. She immediately pulled Lian Baoer out of the main hall and walked quickly to the backyard.
When she arrived at Qinyuanju, she was in a complicated mood and did not invite Lian Baoer to come in.
Seeing that she came back alone, Guyu was a little disappointed and couldn't help asking:
"My wife, the Third Master is gone?" She couldn't understand why her wife was so beautiful, so she just left like that. Or did she go to Madam Jiang's place? But how could Madam Jiang compare to them?
Guyu wanted to ask, but when he saw Liu Yu's ugly face, he shut up.
"Just do whatever you should do. Don't worry about me." Liu Yu walked into the house, sat in front of the dressing table, stared at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze for half an hour.
Until Guyu pushed the door open excitedly.
"Madam, the Third Master has come to Qinyuanju, please go and take a look."
Liu Yu threw all his thoughts behind him, stood up and followed Gu Yu out.
When she came out, Mr. Chen San had already reached the gate of Qinyuan Courtyard. She hurried forward and bowed:
"Third Master."
"Hmm." Uncle Chen San casually looked at the yard behind her. There was a small piece of land at the entrance, where various seasonal vegetables were planted. Strong and vigorous vines climbed up the walls of the yard, and in front of the east window there was a large patch of blooming oleander flowers. The white flowers gave off a refreshing coolness in this hot autumn season.
He is someone who knows how to enjoy life.
"Third Master, what brings you here?" Liu Yu spoke again.
After her reminder, Mr. Chen San finally remembered his intention and signaled Feng Mo to bring the person over.
When she came out, Feng Mo detained her because Bai Wei had testified for Jiang Xueqing.
Seeing Bai Wei being pushed out by Feng Mo, she waited for what Mr. Chen San would say next.
"This girl is yours, I won't deal with her, you can do whatever you want!"
"Yes, I thank you, Third Master." Liu Yu asked Guyu to take Bai Wei.
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Mr. Chen San said:
"It is better not to keep a traitorous servant around. There is no guarantee that she will repeat her old tricks in the future."
Liu Yu knew that he meant well and that this was indeed the truth, but she couldn't respond. After all, she had just denied the incident with the neighbors in Nanshi. Until this layer of window paper was broken, she had to keep it the same as before.
She had known for a long time that Bai Wei was not on the same page with her, but Bai Wei was Madam Liu's person, so if she wanted to touch Bai Wei, she would need a sufficient reason and it would be very troublesome.
Now that she is in the Chen Mansion, she naturally does not have to care about anyone in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, but as long as her aunt is still in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, she cannot act recklessly.
It is better not to do anything now, so that Old Madam Liu will think that she is still under control and she will not do anything extreme.
However, although Liu Yu thought so, he still had to accept the favor from Mr. Chen Sanye.
Liu Yu bowed again to express his gratitude:
"Thank you for your reminder, Third Master. However, Bai Weiwei is the only girl I brought here. After all, my feelings are different. As long as she can admit her mistakes and change them, I don't plan to pursue her too deeply."
After all, she was just a maid and hers. She wanted to deal with her this way, so Mr. Chen San didn't ask.
