Chapter 84: Accompanying Prince Qi for One Night
Qiu knew that she and Liu Huan had swapped places. As Liu Yu had expected, he did not show much expression, but Qiu said a lot.
"What do you think? If you agree, I will arrange it right away." Qiu asked expectantly.
Liu Yu raised his eyes to look at her and finally spoke: "One daughter married twice, grandma, aren't you afraid that Mr. Chen San will cause trouble for the Pingnan Marquis Mansion?"
Qiu burst into laughter as if she had heard a great joke:
"Marry? Sister Yu, let me tell you a truth about being a woman. Don't take yourself too seriously in a man's heart. Do you think he will offend King Qi for you and come to me to settle the score?"
"No, you are nothing more than a concubine in the eyes of Master Chen San."
Liu Yu had no way to refute. If she were Mr. Chen San, she would not offend the prince because of a woman, especially at this critical stage.
Last time it was just because of Xiyao, and I saved her by the way.
Liu Yu didn't want to think about all these things. From the moment she entered the mansion, she never had any expectations for Master Chen San. After all, she herself couldn't give love, so how could she ask Master Chen San to love her or even give for her.
"If I say no, grandma will still give me the antidote?" Liu Yu asked directly without any hesitation.
Mrs. Qiu picked up the tea and drank it without answering her.
Liu Yu smiled:
"I understand what you mean, grandma." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Grandma, please send the antidote to the North Courtyard as soon as possible. Please arrange a time for us at Prince Qi's Mansion. Let me know when you're done, and I won't bother you anymore." After that, she turned and left.
Qiu slowly pushed away the tea leaves floating on the tea, looked at Liu Yu's leaving back, a triumphant smile on her lips. He wanted to resist her, but she still had him under his control.
From now on, if she wants people from the North Courtyard to die, then they must die. If they want to escape from her control, Qiu’s mouth curled up in a cruel arc, and she loosened her five fingers, and the teacup splashed and broke into pieces on the ground with a "bang".
All the maids in the room knelt on the ground. Qiu waved her hand and said, "Everyone, stand up! Madam Ling stay, everyone leave."
After the servants left, Madam Ling knelt down again to apologize. Mrs. Qiu was in a good mood and did not blame her for her mistake today. Instead, she asked about another matter.
"Has the Second Master received any news?"
"Received." Nanny Ling took out the letter received this morning and handed it to Mrs. Qiu.
After reading it, Qiu slapped the table hard, and roared with gritted teeth:
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! These people are so bold that they dare to steal my things."
"Master, what happened?" Nanny Ling asked cautiously.
"The holy medicine was stolen."
"What?" Ling Mama exclaimed: "Without the holy medicine, won't the Fifth Miss not listen to the Master?"
Mrs. Qiu glared at Madam Ling and said, "What are you worried about?" She stroked the emerald ring on her ring finger and said, "Go find a doctor and ask him to prescribe some tonic medicine to keep him alive. As long as he doesn't die, that's all that matters."
……
When Liu Yu returned to the North Courtyard, he saw Feng Mo lying on the roof. He had a dogtail grass in his mouth and his feet were shaking leisurely. He looked very relaxed.
She had talked it out with Mrs. Qiu, and the next step was to give her the antidote. Within the next two days at the latest, Mrs. Qiu would receive news from her lover saying that the medicine was lost.
Liu Dahao has also woken up. They have all seen Feng Mo. Although his face is covered, it is not difficult to guarantee that they will not recognize him.
The safest way is to prevent Feng Mo from showing up at Pingnan Marquis Mansion during this period of time.
"Feng Mo, come down."
"Aunt Liu, do you have any instructions for your subordinates?" Feng Mo jumped down and came in front of Liu Yu.
Liu Yu expressed his concerns and asked him not to come to Pingnan Marquis Mansion for the time being.
Feng Mo refused directly and said firmly: "No, the master ordered me to stay by your side every step of the way before leaving."
Liu Yu knew that Feng Mo had a stubborn temper. After thinking about it, she changed her words and successfully got Feng Mo to leave Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
After Feng Mo left completely, Liu Yu walked into the north courtyard and came to Liu Yan's room. Aunt Wei was combing the hair of Liu Yan who was sitting in front of the bed.
Seeing that there was no one else behind Liu Yu, Liu Yan's unfocused and cloudy eyes suddenly became clear:
"Sister Yu, that vicious woman Qiu, you don't doubt it, right?"
"Don't worry, no." Liu Yu walked to his side, untied the chains in his hands, and saw that his wrists and ankles were bleeding again. Liu Yu felt a pang in his heart and tried hard to hold back his tears.
Aunt Wei's eyes were even redder.
In Liu Yu's memory, there is no longer any image of family reunion.
This is the first time that the whole family is together.
She will never forget it for the rest of her life.
Liu Yan touched her hand, and Gu Zuo said casually:
"That's good, but she didn't make any excessive demands, did she?"
"No." Liu Yu would not tell them that Qiu was going to send her to Prince Qi's mansion to please Prince Qi. She only said that she was the concubine of Master Chen San and that Master Chen San was very good to her.
Liu Yan punched the bed hard and asked in disbelief:
"How dare Qiu..." His voice stopped abruptly. His daughter should have been a legitimate daughter of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion. Why should she only be someone else's concubine?
There was never a moment in his life when he hated his father for favoring his concubine over his wife.
Seeing that Liu Yan's eyes gradually turned red, the wounds on his hands were stretched open again due to excessive force, and blood was dripping.
Liu Yu quickly broke his fist and comforted him:
"Don't be like this. Don't worry. Mr. Chen San is a very good person. He treats me very well. Besides, he doesn't have a legal wife. The life I live in the Chen Mansion is actually no different from those legal wives. You don't have to worry about me."
From yesterday to today, Liu Yan saw how sensible his daughter was, but because she was too sensible, he didn't believe her.
He turned his gaze to Aunt Wei.
"It's true. What Prince Yujie said is true. I have met that Mr. Chen San. He is really good to our daughter." Aunt Wei nodded hurriedly.
Hearing this, the red bloodshot in Liu Yan's eyes slowly faded away.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this." He touched Liu Yu's head with heartache.
Liu Yu shook his head: "How can I feel wronged? Mr. Chen San is an upright person with a refined and elegant demeanor. Moreover, he has already entered the cabinet at a young age. I am lucky to be with him."
But how can a concubine be compared with the wife? I will always be inferior to her, and the children I give birth to in the future cannot call me mother.
Liu Yan didn't say these words in the end. He looked at Liu Yu, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Yu smiled and told Aunt Wei to serve first, while she went outside to order dinner.
When she came back, Aunt Wei combed Liu Yan's hair and applied medicine on his wrist.
"Yu Jie'er, do you want to be Mr. Chen San's wife?"
Liu Yu, who was helping to spread the dishes, was stunned for two seconds when she heard Liu Yan's words. She tilted her head and looked at Liu Yan who was walking towards her, not quite understanding what he meant.
Liu Yan still looked at her calmly, raised the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "My original plan was to return to Pingnan Marquis Mansion to destroy everything filthy here and personally push that poisonous mother and son into hell."
