Chapter 35 The Liu Family Comes
If Wu hadn't mentioned it, Liu Yu wouldn't have remembered that the drunkard had this identity.
She had no feelings for this father. He didn't care about her and her aunt. Even when her aunt died at the palace gate in her previous life, he didn't show up. She thought he wouldn't care about her after her death either.
When she heard others mention it at this time, her heart was calm. Facing the sympathetic eyes of everyone, Liu Yu just smiled indifferently.
The noble old lady next to Mrs. Wu spoke first:
"Miss Liu, you have a very good appearance. You look a bit like your grandmother." He said with a questioning tone.
Several people strolled in the garden and stopped at the pavilion over the Liaoliao River Bay. Along the way, Liu Yu's attention was on the girl next to Chen Xiyao.
The younger generations of the Wu family had never seen Liu Yu’s grandmother, but they still agreed with a smile.
"Who says it's not true? Aunt Liu is not only good-looking, but also has a very good temper. She knows etiquette and knows her limits."
Liu Yu glanced at Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Shen inconspicuously, and saw that although Mrs. Wu seemed to be praising her, her eyes were on the girl from the Shen family, the girl who was holding Chen Xiyao's arm.
She was a little confused at first.
I only heard Wu holding the handkerchief and then saying:
"And my third brother. I won't mention the past. The noble families in the capital were unwilling to marry their daughters to him, fearing that he would become a widow. But now it's different. You don't know that he is more caring than his brothers."
Mrs. Wu's voice was quite loud, and several ladies passing by came over when they heard it.
In the past, people didn't dare to say it openly, but for a 35-year-old man who didn't touch women, most people secretly thought that this Lord Chen was either not good enough or he had a homosexual tendency.
Although they envied Lord Chen's status, only the Liu family sent their daughters into it even though they knew it was a pit of fire.
After hearing what Mrs. Wu said, the ladies present began to think and became more active.
Some people even started chatting with Liu Yu:
"Are you the new concubine of Mr. Chen?"
"Yes." Liu Yu nodded truthfully.
The woman who was asking the question's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked:
"Is Lord Chen good to you? But..."
Seeing the woman's face blushing for no apparent reason, I realized what she was going to ask.
Before she could ask, Liu Yu spoke up:
"Ladies, please rest assured. The Third Master is in good health and treats me very well."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, the ladies' eyes lit up and they looked at Wu like mice seeing food.
"Madam Chen, is Lord Chen from your family willing to meet someone?" several women came forward and asked.
Wu didn't like these families, so she rejected them straightforwardly.
The women waved their sleeves and left.
Liu Yu felt that if it weren't for the status of Lord Chen, everyone would probably scold the Chen family for being too fanciful.
In the end, only Old Madam Shen and the two ladies at the beginning were left.
At this time, Lou led the Liu family's marriageable girls to the pavilion. It looked like they were going to go straight into the pavilion.
"The wife of Marquis Pingnan is looking for you?" Wu also saw it and looked at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu naturally didn't want to introduce those people from the Liu family to Mrs. Wu like this. After thinking for a while, she bowed, left the pavilion, and walked to the Liu family members beside the lotus flowers.
Lou immediately came over with a smile:
"Yu'er, don't blame Second Aunt for not informing you and coming here like this." The voice was urgent:
"How is it? Is Madam Chen willing to see us?"
"Mother, why are you asking her? Madam Chen is in the pavilion anyway, we can just go in directly." Liu Ling couldn't bear to see her mother trying to please Liu Yu, who used to be like a dog in front of her.
Hearing this, Liu Yu not only did not stop him, she also stepped aside to make way.
If Lou really did this, she wouldn't have to think of any other ways. The Chen family did not pay attention to etiquette, but they also paid attention to etiquette, not the people they recognized. Even if the old lady treated her as a concubine, she could treat her like her own younger generation, paying attention to the first meeting. If she didn't raise her head or look around, in the eyes of the Chen family, it was also impolite.
"You are confused." Lou scolded: "Ling'er, I have taught you so many times that you should observe more and talk less. Didn't you see that all those who entered the pavilion without saying hello were driven out by Madam Chen in disgrace?"
Liu Yu had always known that Lou was a smart person, otherwise she would not have helped Liu Zhang get the title quietly.
Lou didn't like Liu Yu, but at this moment she had to bow her head and smile:
"Yu'er, your sister is ignorant. Don't bother with her. Have you told Madam Chen? Can we go in and pay our respects?"
"Second Aunt, you are joking. Sister Ling'er and I are sisters, so I don't care about these trivial details." Liu Yu raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, saying:
"Since you asked me that, Yu'er should tell you the truth! I was just about to bring it up when the Madam saw you and urged me to come out to see you."
Liu Ling didn't believe it and sneered:
"So, it was because we interrupted you that you didn't say anything?" She felt that Liu Yu was clearly unwilling to give up Elder Chen and wanted to push the responsibility onto them. This was even more hateful and abominable.
Lou had no doubt about it, she saw what Mrs. Chen said.
She glared at her daughter.
"Then Yu'er, what do you think we should do next?"
Liu Yu looked back into the pavilion for a while, then retracted his gaze to look at the marriageable girl from the Liu family behind Lou.
Lou noticed Liu Yu's gaze and asked them to move away.
"Second Aunt, you just saw it. The First Madam doesn't like rude people. Your rash intrusion will definitely not leave a good impression," Liu Yu said calmly.
Lou was a little panicked: "What should I do?"
Seeing that Lou was getting angry, Liu Yu flicked the lotus buds sticking out of the pond and said, "It would be impossible to meet so many people now, but if Madam just brings the best one to pay a visit, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Will the guy be asked to leave like those people?"
Liu Yu smiled.
Lou understood that with Liu Yu's help, he should not be asked to leave like those people.
Without any hesitation, she nodded and asked her personal nanny to call Liu Ling back.
"Second aunt, grandma said that Sister Ling'er is not on the list!" Liu Yu reminded seriously. If you ignore the sneer in his eyes, it really seems to be sincere.
Originally, Lou felt a little guilty about letting Liu Ling go alone, but when Liu Yu mentioned this, she became extremely determined and even had resentment towards Zheng.
"Just Ling'er."
"Okay, then follow me!" Liu Yu led the mother and daughter of the Lou family into the pavilion, bowed to Wu, and introduced the mother and daughter of the Lou family who followed behind them.
