Chapter 20 Bai Wei is missing
When Liu Yu woke up, it was already bright outside. She subconsciously touched her side and found it was already cold.
She sat up, and when she saw the blood-stained handkerchief beside the pillow, her face turned red unconsciously.
Mr. Chen San helped her because he was afraid that she would be criticized. She felt grateful to him.
She called out to Guyu who was outside the door.
Shou'an Hall's Qingyi came in with Guyu. She walked to the bedside and put away the bloody handkerchief.
"Aunt Liu, the old lady said that you have worked hard in serving the third master, so you don't have to go to Shou'an Hall to pay your respects today." She waved her hand, and a maid walked in from outside, holding a wooden box in her hand.
"The things in this box are all given to you by the old lady. I hope you will serve the third master well in the future. Fugui's days will come." Qingyi stepped forward and opened it.
There are jade bracelets, gold hairpins, pearls and other jewelry inside, all of which are very valuable.
Since the old lady had given the reward and she was short of money, Liu Yu did not refuse and signaled Guyu to accept it.
"Thank you very much for the reward, old lady." Liu Yu took out two oriental pearls from the box and gave them to Qingyi: "Thank you for your help, Miss Qingyi."
Qingyi put away the Dongzhu and said, "You are welcome, Auntie."
The third master is affectionate, and Qingyi is willing to give some respect to the concubines as long as they are favored.
After saying this, he left the East Courtyard with the people from Shou'an Hall.
Liu Yu went to bed late last night and was still very sleepy, but she couldn't stay in Tingzhuxuan any longer. She asked Guyu to help her wash up briefly, then took Guyu back to Qinyuanju and continued to sleep.
Liu Yu slept until noon, and Jingzhe had already prepared lunch.
While she was eating, Bai Wei, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, rushed into the room and knelt down in front of her.
Liu Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Lixia who ran in.
"what happened?"
Without waiting for Lixia to answer, Bai Wei had already started crying and kowtowing:
"Fifth Miss, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed the words of that bitch Jiang Xueqing and given false testimony for her." As she said this, she pulled Liu Yu's skirt:
"Miss, please give me another chance because we both came from the same family, Pingnan Marquis."
Liu Yu looked at Bai Wei's pale little face, crying, and to be honest, he didn't feel any sympathy at all.
But Bai Wei had been imprisoned for such a long time, Liu Yu knew that he should release Bai Wei, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the Qiu family.
But if she let it go like this, she would feel uncomfortable.
Liu Yu withdrew his gaze from Bai Wei, picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and put it into his mouth. After finishing the meal slowly, he looked at Bai Wei again and asked:
"You want me to let you out?"
Bai Wei still had tears in her eyes and kowtowed to Liu Yu again:
"I hope the young lady will help me."
Liu Yu smiled: "Okay."
"Really?"
Not only Bai Wei, but also Guyu who was serving beside her, and Lixia who ran in were all surprised.
Lixia immediately stepped forward to remind:
"Auntie, this man's words cannot be trusted."
Bai Wei was afraid that Liu Yu's reluctance would be ruined by Lixia, so she glared at Lixia fiercely:
"You stupid girl, if you dare to say that again, I will peel off your skin." Then he turned around and looked at Liu Yu:
"Girl, don't believe that damned girl Lixia. She is just jealous and afraid that if you continue to favor me, she will have no place."
"If you think of anything, just keep your mouth shut." Liu Yu warned, then changed the subject and returned to the previous topic:
"You can let me go if you want, but from now on, every letter you send to the Liu Mansion must pass through my hands."
Isn't this tantamount to betraying the Qiu family? When she thought of the methods used by the Qiu family, she shuddered.
Liu Yu saw it and said indifferently:
"You don't have to answer me right now. When you think of it, just tell the person guarding you." After saying that, he glanced at Lixia.
Lixia immediately dragged Bai Wei away.
Bai Wei is ambitious and selfish. She is not afraid that she will not be able to overcome her fear of Qiu and will not agree.
Sure enough, less than two hours after Bai Wei was taken back, Lixia came back to report, and Bai Wei agreed to the conditions.
Liu Yu was embroidering a dress that was ordered by a customer. Without even looking up, she said, "Let her go. Let Ah Zhong keep an eye on her behavior in the future."
"Yes." Lixia took the order and retreated.
……
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the third day of the next month, the new day when the Tao family proposes marriage to the Chen family. Everyone in the Chen family, whether it is the ladies or the servants, has a happy look on their faces and wears new clothes. Even Mr. Chen San, who has been missing lately and goes out early and comes back late, is in the Chen family.
Liu Yu took the dark pure-faced Hangzhou silk gown that Ping An brought and put it on him, then tied the belt and crown around his waist.
Master Chen San looked at the person who was busying himself and said, "If you are bored, you can take Lian Baoer to walk around in the backyard. She is impatient, so you should keep an eye on her."
"Okay, I understand." Liu Yu smiled and nodded, bending down to put on his shoes for him.
In fact, even without him saying anything, she would take good care of Lian Baoer. As concubines, they were not allowed to go out.
After spending these days together, she found that Mr. Chen San was a rational person who attached great importance to rules.
If that girl ran away and caused any trouble, she didn't think that Mr. Chen San would do anything impolite for her. The outcome would be either a beating or being kicked out.
For Lian Baoer, these two things would mean her death, which Liu Yu did not want to see.
After getting dressed and leaving Tingzhuxuan, Mr. Chen called Feng Mo:
"Send Yu'er back to Qinyuanju,"
Even though she had heard him call her Yu'er several times, Liu Yu still felt uncomfortable hearing him call her that at this moment.
Liu Yu bowed and followed Feng Mo back to Qinyuanju.
"Court Guard Feng, please go to Duobao Pavilion and bring Baoer to me."
Feng Mo retreated and soon brought Lian Baoer over.
Lian Baoer glared at Feng Mo, who forced her to come to Qinyuanju, and felt extremely unwilling.
Feng Mo's indifferent expression didn't change at all. He bowed to Liu Yu who came out to pick him up, turned around and left. Lian Baoer was so anxious that she punched and kicked him on the back.
Seeing Liu Yu, he leaned there leisurely and looked at her. Lian Baoer smiled awkwardly, his eyes rolled and his nose turned red.
"Sister Yu'er..."
Seeing that she was wearing a maid's dress, Liu Yu interrupted her pretending to be pitiful and said to extinguish her hope:
"No," she turned around and told Guyu, "Go downstairs and tell them that no one in Qinyuanju can go out today."
If you don't join in the fun, you won't get involved in trouble, and this is the only way to last long.
When Feng Mo went to invite her, Lian Baoer knew that it was Mr. Chen San's intention. Although she was having fun, she also knew the seriousness of the matter. She curled her lips, followed behind him and entered Qinyuanju.
Liu Yu took Lian Baoer into the side room. She specially had someone place a beauty couch in the empty space opposite the bookshelf. She sat down on the couch and began to embroider her dress. Lian Baoer picked up two storybooks and lay on the couch to read them. . .
"Auntie, it's bad."
The door was suddenly pushed open by Guyu from the outside.
Liu Yu's hands trembled, and she almost dropped the embroidery needle in her hand. She put the cloth and needle into the basket and asked the usually steady maid:
"what's up?"
Realizing that his behavior was out of line, he quickly bent down and reported:
"Madam, Bai Wei is missing..."
