Chapter 70 Wait for me to come back
It had been five days since Mr. Chen San left the capital. Except for visiting Yang Shizhong once when he was ill, he had never left the Chen Mansion again. After paying his respects, he stayed in Shou'an Hall to chat with the old lady, or went to Wutong Courtyard.
As for the Yuzhen Hall, she also left it to Madam Yang to take care of it. Guyu would go there for her once every two days to check on the situation.
During this period, she taught Mrs. Yang the double-sided embroidery method.
"It's finally done." Looking at the headband embroidered with the pattern of Five Blessings on her hand, Chen Xiyao smiled.
She handed the headband to Liu Yu:
"Yu'er, help me see what else needs to be changed."
This forehead embroidery was revised countless times, but it was finally embroidered. Chen Xiyao felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Liu Yu took it. Although it was not as good as the embroidery of top embroiderers like Madam Yang, it was still much better than that of ordinary people.
Five bats come alive.
"Xiyao, you embroider very well. The old lady will definitely like it." Liu Yu praised sincerely.
"Well, I have to thank you for teaching me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to show off for so long."
While they were talking, the doorman walked in from outside, looking somewhat helpless.
Liu Yu asked:
"Liu Huan is here again?"
Ever since Mr. Chen San left, Liu Huan had been coming to her house every day for some unknown reason, inviting her to visit Prince Qi's mansion.
She must have been out of her mind to visit Prince Qi's mansion. She didn't even have time to avoid Prince Qi.
"It's not your sister, it's your aunt who sent someone over."
The concierge explained.
"My aunt? Someone from the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Yu returned the forehead wipe to Chen Xiyao, put away the pattern drawings on the table, and took Guyu out of the house.
Chen Xiyao handed the forehead wipe to the maid and quickly followed Liu Yu:
"Yu'er, I'll go with you."
The third brother had told her to take good care of Yu'er while he was away.
Liu Yu didn't stop him.
The two of them came to the front yard together and followed the door to the corner gate of Chenjia. Through the door, Liu Yu saw the people sent by the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
At first she thought the person was sent by Qiu, but now she saw that he was indeed sent by her aunt. This person was the one she asked Mr. Chen San to find for her. She remembered that his name seemed to be Xiao Yu, and she later gave him to her aunt.
"Miss, Aunt Wei asked me to ask you to go back to the Marquis Pingnan's Mansion." Xiao Yu looked a little anxious.
Liu Yu didn't ask the reason. She nodded and told Guyu to prepare the carriage. She took Xiaoyu into the Chen Mansion and came to Qinyuan Residence. She dismissed all the servants and asked:
"What happened to my aunt?"
Whether in the previous life or this life, her aunt had never sent anyone to look for her. What happened? Not only did she come to look for her, but she also sent Xiao Yu.
Could it be that Qiu was unhappy that she didn't help Liu Ling last time and wanted to harm her aunt?
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Yu's face was filled with anxiety. She shouted loudly, "Guyu, go and urge the carriage. Is it ready?"
Then he asked Xiao Yu: "What did Qiu do to mother? Made things difficult for her? Poisoned her? Or did she transfer the people around her away? Did she starve the North Courtyard?"
"Miss, don't worry. Aunt Wei is fine, nothing happened." Xiao Yu said hurriedly.
"Nothing? Then why did Auntie ask you to come back? Did she tell me why?"
Xiao Yu shook his head.
Anyway, they would be returning to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion soon, so Liu Yu suppressed his uneasiness and asked Lixia to take out twenty taels of silver. Then he took Xiao Yu out of the Chen Mansion. A Zhong was already waiting at the door in a carriage.
Although Xiao Yu said that her aunt was fine, Liu Yu's eyelids were twitching violently. Just in case, she brought Feng Mo and Grandma Kui with her when she went to Pingnan Marquis' Mansion this time.
An hour later, Liu Yu arrived at the Mansion of Marquis Pingnan. Unlike the last time when the whole mansion came to welcome him, this time there was not only no one at the door of the Mansion of Marquis Pingnan, but even the main door was closed.
There was no way Qiu didn't know that she was expressing her dissatisfaction when she came back.
Liu Yu didn't care about Qiu's attitude towards her. She told A Zhong to drive the carriage to the back door.
The back door was still closed.
Liu Yu lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, motioning Gu Yu to knock on the door.
Guyu knocked for a long time, but the door still didn't open. Just when Liu Yu ordered Feng Mo to kick the door.
A voice came from the door:
"Fifth Miss, the old lady said that if you want to enter the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion today, you must kneel in front of the gate for an hour before the door can be opened."
Liu Yu frowned. This Qiu really spared no effort to control her and cause trouble for her.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you tell a girl to kneel down?" Xiao Yu shouted.
"I am Ling Madam, who is beside the old lady. The old lady said that as a member of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, even if you cannot share the worries of the Marquis' Mansion, you must know that you must stand together with the Marquis' Mansion. The legitimate daughter has to kneel. If the fifth daughter still wants to recognize the Marquis' Mansion, she should kneel for a full hour, otherwise she will never be able to enter the Marquis' Mansion again."
After Nanny Ling finished speaking, she didn't hear any movement outside for a long time. She couldn't help but walk behind the door and stick to the crack, trying to see what was happening outside through the tightly closed door.
The little maid behind him began to compliment her:
"Madam, don't worry. The Fifth Miss must have knelt down. Aunt Wei is under the control of the old lady. She still has the heart to resist. In the past, whenever Aunt Wei was mentioned, the Fifth Miss would obediently follow her instructions."
Ling Ma thought what she said made sense, but when she saw what happened at Chen's house, she felt differently.
The Fifth Girl is still the same Fifth Girl as before, but she gives people a different feeling. She seems to do everything according to the old lady's wishes, but nothing goes as she wishes, and the old lady can't find a reason to get angry.
"No, I have to take a look." She was eager to see the situation outside, and her face pressed against the door even closer.
After seeing nothing for a long time, she even opened the bolt.
"Why did you open the door without permission? Aren't you supposed to kneel before opening the door?"
A gentle and calm voice suddenly sounded behind me.
This is the fifth girl.
Madam Ling turned around suddenly and saw Liu Yu standing behind her, looking at her with a smile. She took a step back and asked stutteringly:
"Miss Wu...Miss Wu, how did you get in?"
Liu Yu didn't plan to answer at all and just gave Feng Mo a wink.
Feng Mo immediately rushed out and opened the door.
Then, under the angry but silent gaze of Madam Ling, they all swaggered into the Marquis Pingnan's Mansion.
Liu Yu's smile faded and he told Feng Mo:
"Take these two people and follow me to the North Courtyard."
Regardless of whether it was Qiu's order or not, and whether he went to find her or not, once he entered the Marquis Pingnan's Mansion, Qiu would definitely come to find him.
To him, his aunt's safety is more important than anything else. Liu Yu doesn't have time to look for Qiu and waste time.
But this is the last time. In her previous life, when she was in trouble, they did not add insult to injury, but helped her send people away.
After her rebirth, she said in her heart that no matter what the Liu family did to her, she would forgive the Liu family three times.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet plotted once, and the rumor was spread that Mr. Chen San went to the Chen Mansion to cause trouble once. This is the third time.
What I said to the prince that night gradually became clearer.
