Chapter 92: Liu Huan's follow-up after being drugged
On the way to Shou'an Hall.
Nanny Feng admired the way Liu Yu dealt with Jiang Xueqing just now. The more she looked at Liu Yu, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help but admire him in her eyes.
Liu Yu touched the veil on her face. It was still there! But why did Aunt Feng look at her like that? She asked a little embarrassedly:
"Mammy, why are you looking at me like that?"
Aunt Feng's smile became more and more charming: "Nothing, it's just that when I saw Auntie, it was like seeing the old lady when she was young."
"Why?" She felt that she and the old lady were two completely different people! Why did Aunt Feng think they were similar?
Nanny Feng did not answer, but instead asked why Liu Yu punished Jiang Xueqing in that way.
Liu Yu smiled and said calmly:
"Jiang Xueqing just beat up a little girl this time. If you really think about it, it's not a big deal, and it didn't cause any irreparable mistakes."
"Although Nanny said that this was the power given to me by the old lady, if Jiang Xueqing is severely punished for this matter, the second master will definitely complain to the old lady, which will only make it difficult for the old lady."
"So, you let Aunt Jiang move into the small Buddhist hall on the pretext of copying the Heart Sutra to calm her mind." Nanny Feng continued.
"Yes! Copying scriptures is for blessing. Copying scriptures for the old lady is for blessing. Even the Second Master cannot say no. The main thing is..." Liu Yu smiled meaningfully. During this period of time, Jiang Xueqing had no chance to enter the backyard, let alone meet Second Master Chen.
However, Liu Yu did not say these words.
Nanny Feng didn't intend to ask any further questions.
Long before she came to Qinyuanju from Shou'an Hall, the old lady knew that the women in the backyard had all gone to Qinyuanju. The old lady specifically instructed that whoever took the lead in causing trouble in Qinyuanju, no matter what Liu Yu did, would be blamed on Shou'an Hall.
It doesn't make sense that just because the third brother goes out, his woman should be bullied.
What's more, the second master's woman was really too unruly. The old lady didn't say anything, but she really couldn't stand it.
But the Second Master doted on her too much, and now that Liu Yu had sent her to the small Buddhist temple, even if the Second Master had any objections, he couldn't say anything.
In the Chen family, whenever the masters go out to do business, the women who stay at home will always be treated preferentially. This has been an unwritten rule of the Chen family over the years.
While the two were talking, Nanny Feng led Liu Yu to Shou'an Hall, and Liu Yu immediately saw the old lady waiting at the main seat.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was playing with a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hands, and her movements were getting faster and faster.
Just as Liu Yu and the others stepped into Shou'an Hall, suddenly, the beads on the old lady's hand broke, and the beads fell to the ground with a "bang bang bang", and scattered to every corner, under the table, under the stool, under the corner of the room...
And one of them happened to slowly roll to Liu Yu's feet.
The old lady suddenly opened her eyes, and there was still a hint of fear in Mr. Sang's eyes that had not completely subsided.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yu bent down to pick up the Buddhist beads at his feet, walked quickly to the old lady, and looked at her with worry in his eyes.
In Liu Yu's cognition, the old lady has always been as steady as a rock, unperturbed by fame or disgrace, but at this moment she saw a deep sense of uneasiness in her eyes.
What was she worried about? Liu Yu had no idea.
When the old lady saw Liu Yu wearing a veil, her mind slowly returned to normal and the uneasiness in her eyes was suppressed.
She frowned and asked: "Did those rubbish from the Liu family hurt you?" She raised her hand and took off the veil on Liu Yu's face.
Looking at her face, although it was still a little red and swollen, it was not really disfigured. The old lady sighed: "Fortunately, she is not really disfigured, otherwise I would not be able to explain to the third son."
"Don't worry, madam! It's not a big problem. It will be fine in two days." Liu Yu smiled indifferently.
Chen Xiyao behind her spoke up:
"No, mother, look at the deep scars on Yu'er's face. They were definitely much scarier than this." Chen Xiyao gritted her teeth and said, "These people from Pingnan Marquis' Mansion came here to ruin Yu'er's appearance."
The old lady's face turned cold.
It was impossible for Liu Yu to say that she had done her own damage to her face because of Prince Qi. Now that Mr. Chen San was not in the capital, if people knew that she had a relationship with Prince Qi, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had mouths all over her body.
As for the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, how could Qiu's doing such a thing be possible for anyone to spread it?
With Bai Wei in Prince Qi's mansion, Liu Yu doesn't have to worry.
She quickly took the initiative to change the subject and told the old lady what happened in Qinyuanju and the punishment of Jiang Xueqing.
The old lady doesn't care:
"Since Hong Shuang said that you can decide the punishment, then it's up to you. Just do whatever you think is appropriate. You don't need to tell me."
Liu Yu nodded and handed over the Buddhist beads in her hand.
The old lady already had nineteen beads in her hand at the moment, plus this one in her hand, a total of twenty beads, but the whole string of Buddhist beads has twenty-one beads, and the remaining one cannot be found.
She looked at the Buddhist beads in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.
"Madam, have you encountered any troubles recently?" Liu Yu asked tentatively.
The old lady had no intention of saying anything. She returned the Buddhist beads that Liu Yu had given her to her and began to ask Liu Yu about what happened to Marquis Pingnan.
After listening, the old lady slapped the table, her majestic eyes shone with light, and she spoke in an extremely cold voice:
"The Pingnan Marquis' Mansion was a lesson from last time, but the impression is not deep enough!"
……
Qi Wang Mansion, under the rockery cave not far from the side hall.
Liu Huan's hair was disheveled, her fairy skirt was torn to pieces, and the buttons on her chest were open. The skin on her fair neck was all blue and purple, and there were teeth marks on her plump red lips. She looked like she had been through something.
Her eyes were filled with tears and she was crying silently.
The two servants who were dressing up as men at the back were panicked when they saw this. They backed away together, stammering, as if they were afraid of being entangled:
"Mr. Liu...Madam, this...you are forcing us to do this. It has nothing to do with our...business!" After saying that, they ran out of the cave one after another.
Liu Huan ignored the two people. She stared blankly at the lotus pond outside the rockery with unfocused eyes. It was winter now and the lotus pond had no life at all. Only some broken dry branches of lotus leaves were floating on the water.
After a long while, Liu Huan fastened the buttons on his body like a soulless puppet, stood up on the stone surface, and walked out of the cave step by step.
But as soon as she walked out of the rockery area, Liu Huan was stunned.
Opposite her was Prince Qi, who was still as calm and composed as ever. Standing next to Prince Qi was her mortal enemy, Bai Wei.
Liu Huan just felt very cold. Although it was not the coldest winter yet, the blood in her body seemed to have solidified, making her unable to move or speak a word.
