Chapter 74 Counterattack (Revised)
Lou suppressed her hatred towards Qiu and ordered the personal nanny behind her to take Nanny Ling away.
"Wait." Liu Yu stopped Nanny Ling from being taken away by Lou.
Qiu narrowed her eyes, staring at Liu Yu with her cloudy, old eyes, threateningly:
"Why, your second aunt manages the servants, and you want to manage them?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu nodded without hesitation:
"Yes, grandmother, once may be accidental, but if it happens every time, it is not your intention. Then I will suspect that these servants of the Liu family are targeting me on purpose."
"Since you are targeting me, I won't bother my second uncle."
Liu Yu shouted:
“Granny Kui, lock these two people up for me. I’ll take them with me when I return to the Chen residence later. No one will insult me, and I will be safe.”
These words seemed to be spoken to Grandma Kui, but they were actually spoken to Mrs. Qiu, and were also a warning.
Qiu's face turned pale, then blue, and then pale. She was the old lady of the Liu family after all, and she had great patience. In an instant, the anger on her face receded like a tide, and she smiled, returning to the good grandmother persona she had when she first came in.
But his eyes signaled Lou behind him to speak.
Lou clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and took two steps forward to block Qiu.
Liu Yu now has the support of the Chen Mansion. For the sake of what will happen later, she will not confront Liu Yu, and instead looks at Aunt Wei:
"Mrs. Wei, how long have you been in the Liu residence? The old lady is our mother. As a junior, we must not contradict her at any time. If you are disrespectful, I will have someone do something to you."
Aunt Liu was terrified and shook her head hastily to explain:
"No...no...I didn't..."
"Bang." Fragments flew everywhere, and Liu Yu swept the teacup under Lou's feet.
This action is extremely insulting.
I remember that in the past, they would hit Liu Yu with teacups, and Liu Yu never dared to say a word.
When did the situation turn around and she ended up hitting herself?
Qiu was so angry that her teeth broke.
Lou's fury:
"Liu Yu..."
Liu Yu interrupted her first:
"Why, you want someone to beat me too?"
"Your second aunt can't beat you." Qiu snorted.
"My father is the legitimate son, and my second uncle is nothing but a concubine's son. There is a difference between legitimate and concubine's sons. I respect the Lou family and call you grandmother and second aunt. You really think of yourself as my grandmother and second aunt. If you treat my aunt like this again, I don't mind explaining to you what the difference is between legitimate and concubine's sons, and how legitimate sons are superior and concubine's sons are inferior."
"Yu'er, what did you say?"
Qiu's chest was rising and falling violently, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
For many years, no one dared to discuss the terms legitimate and illegitimate in the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion.
These two words are taboo for Qiu. She never wants to remember that humiliating history. She is the old lady of Pingnan Marquis Mansion, more noble than anyone else.
Liu Yu saw Qiu's expression, as if a fox whose tail had been stepped on, and a smile spread across his face.
She ignored Qiu's threats and pretended to comfort him:
"Madam Liu, don't be angry. You brought this up yourself. I'm just following your words and stating the facts. Regardless of whether my father is the heir of the Pingnan Marquisate, he is the only legitimate son."
"You're talking nonsense. The Marquis said that the only person he wants to marry is me." Qiu roared fiercely.
Liu Yu did not comment, and the result was that the old marquis married Tian.
Seeing that Qiu was in a bad mood, Lou considered it and took the initiative to smooth things over:
"You can't write two Liu characters with one stroke. We are a family, there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Sister Yu, your grandmother is here because we heard that Auntie seemed to be in a hurry about something. We came here to see if we could help, but we didn't expect Sister Yu to come back."
Liu Yu did not respond to Lou's words immediately. Instead, she gave an order, asking Grandma Kui to drag Nanny Ling and the housekeeper out. In the north courtyard, in front of Qiu and others, she pressed Nanny Ling and the housekeeper on a stool and beat them with thirty boards.
This time, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Lou did not say anything.
The antidote to the magic powder had not been obtained yet, and Liu Yu could not really offend the Qiu family and the others completely, so she followed Lou's words and did not provoke them again.
Liu Yu asked Guyu to bring the most precious tea from the North Courtyard and personally brew a cup of tea for Qiu and Lou.
Mrs. Qiu didn't want to hear Liu Yu's voice now, but thinking of the purpose of this trip, she forced herself to sit down opposite Liu Yu, and Mrs. Lou followed suit.
Liu Yu made a gesture for someone to have some tea, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
She did not hide it and said it indirectly:
"Tell my aunt that my father has been found." He took another sip of tea, but his eyes were fixed on the expression on Qiu's face.
Qiu was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal:
"Really? Are you planning to bring him back?"
Originally, Mrs. Qiu didn't plan to bring the person back so soon, but Liu Yu was becoming more and more out of control, and before Liu Yu took the initiative to admit his mistake to her.
She felt that she still had to keep Liu Yan under her watch.
There was a flash of malice in her eyes. Liu Yu had made her angry, so how could she not seek revenge on Liu Yan?
But she won't take the initiative to bring it back.
"Yes, I want to bring the person back as soon as possible." Liu Yu nodded, but then looked embarrassed.
Lou asked.
"Second aunt, it's like this. As you know, I am just a concubine in the Chen family. Bai Wei has disappeared again recently. Guyu and the others are maids in the Chen family. Although the outside world knows that Liu Yan is a lunatic, hearing about it is different from seeing it."
"So why are you saying all this?" Lou was a little confused by Liu Yu.
When Qiu heard what Liu Yu said, a smile flashed across her eyes. She thought Liu Yu had become smarter. It turned out that he was not a reckless man with only courage. In the end, he still fell into her trap. If one day she knew that it was she who sent her father into her hands to be tortured and played with by her, she wondered how she would react. I am really looking forward to it!
At Anguo Temple, those bald guys always say that it is a holy place of Buddhism and blood is not allowed, which makes people not have fun at all.
"You are afraid that Mr. Chen San will know that your father is a complete lunatic." Qiu looked at Liu Yu and spoke as if she was doing Liu Yu a favor:
"I can ask someone from Pingnan Marquis's Mansion to accompany you to pick him up, but Sister Yu, you also know the current state of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion."
"What does grandma want me to do? If it's an official matter, there's nothing I can do."
Mrs. Qiu frowned. She had originally wanted to ask Mr. Chen San to help in this autumn examination, but it seems that it is really impossible on the Chen family's side.
She looked at Liu Yu and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.
Liu Yu felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, but she remained calm and looked directly into Qiu's eyes, wanting to see what Qiu was trying to do.
"Well, Sister Yu, you should bring your father back first!" Qiu didn't intend to say it at this time, giving Liu Yu time to resist.
"Okay," Liu Yu nodded.
As long as Qiu has a purpose, she will not be in a hurry.
