Chapter 94: Qiu's Attack to the North Courtyard
In the mansion of Marquis Pingnan, Qiu, who had been waiting for news for a long time, began to become uneasy. Her eyelids had been twitching since Liu Yu was sent to Prince Qi's mansion last night, and they were twitching more and more violently until this moment.
Nothing will happen, right?
It shouldn't happen. Liu Yan and Aunt Wei are still in her hands. That girl Liu Yu wouldn't dare to make any unusual moves.
Thinking of this, she picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and all of it "sprayed" out.
She angrily threw the cup in her hand at the maidservant beside her and angrily scolded: "How do you do your job? You actually made such hot tea for me."
The little girl knelt down, not daring to say a word. It was obvious that she was just complaining about the tea being cold.
Madam Ling took the opportunity to pinch the little girl twice, and walked forward to say flatteringly:
"Old Madam, you don't have to worry. Prince Qi likes the Fifth Miss so much, it's normal for him to come back late."
Even after hearing Nanny Ling say this, Mrs. Qiu still frowned.
"It would be futile if we just wait like this. How about I go with you to see that bastard?" Nanny Ling suggested.
Mrs. Qiu nodded, and with the help of Nanny Ling, she went to the North Courtyard.
In the main hall of the north courtyard, a young servant of about fifteen or sixteen was lying on the ground, his mouth stuffed with sackcloth, and his body tied up. He looked in horror at Liu Yan, who was sitting in the main seat and looked perfectly normal, and struggled to move his body, trying to run away.
But before he could move twice, a foot stepped on his back.
This is a young girl's foot. Although it is very small, it makes the servant on the ground unable to move at all.
"Speak." A cold voice came out of Liu Yan's mouth:
"Where did you take my daughter last night?"
The boy shook his head in fear. He really didn't know! He was just a boy sweeping the outer courtyard of Fuhe Hall. How could he know such a confidential matter?
At this moment, the servant was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He shouldn't have been tempted by the little girl who stepped on his back. He thought he was so lucky that he actually believed that this little girl was interested in him.
I should not have listened to those people's instigation and believed that the people in the North Courtyard were either crazy or women and that there was no danger.
Bullshit, it's all bullshit.
This is called a woman? I'm afraid that the guards in this mansion can't beat this woman with one hand.
Is the old man crazy? How could the people sitting above him who were interrogating him clearly be crazy? These people are all blind.
"Don't say?" Liu Yan glanced at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu understood and pushed harder with his feet. Beads of sweat broke out on the servant's forehead, and even the blue veins on his temples bulged out.
The servant boy twisted his body violently, making "mmm" sounds from his mouth, and it was obvious that he wanted to say something.
Xiao Yu looked at Liu Yan, and Liu Yan nodded.
"I will take off the cloth covering your mouth now, but if you dare to scream, I will not let you leave this room, do you understand?" Xiao Yu squatted down and patted the servant's face.
The servant boy shuddered visibly and nodded quickly.
"Very good." Xiao Yu raised his hand and pulled the cloth out of the servant's mouth.
"Master, I really don't know where the old lady took the fifth girl to."
Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he was about to exert force again.
"But I know a secret of the old lady." The servant spoke before Xiao Yu could make a move.
Liu Yanxiao didn't want to know Qiu's secrets, he just wanted to know news about Liu Yu.
But judging from the boy's expression, he probably wasn't lying.
Seeing that they were not very interested, the servant was afraid that they would kill him.
"Master, I assure you that this secret will definitely cost the lives of the old lady and the marquis."
"Master, you want revenge! If I knew, maybe I could bring them down." The servant tried hard to improve his own value.
Liu Yan didn't believe it.
What kind of secret could take the lives of that mother and son?
You have to know that the mother and son from the Qiu family have been running the Pingnan Marquis Mansion for many years. The entire Pingnan Marquis Mansion is in their pocket. Even those branches of the Liu family follow their lead, and there is also the wealthy businessman Lou, who is their in-law.
How can it be shaken just because it is a secret?
Besides, as he said, he was just a servant sweeping the outer courtyard, how could he know any core secrets?
But having said that, there's no way he'd let it go.
"Say it!"
The servant hesitated. What if he told the truth and the master and his men killed people to silence them?
Xiao Li's foot exerted force again.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." The boy's muscles twitched in pain, and he almost shouted:
"Isn't the Marquis the old Marquis' biological son?"
The air is silent.
After a while, Liu Yan scratched his ears and asked in disbelief:
"What did you say, boy?"
The servant repeated it again.
"Where did you hear that?" Liu Yan asked seriously. His mind flashed back to the past, all of which were the old marquis holding Liu Zhang and teaching him to write, teaching Liu Zhang martial arts, and carving horses for Liu Zhang...
As for him, he could only watch from afar. Occasionally, when the old marquis saw him, he would look at him with disgust and order someone to drive him away.
He was still young at that time, and he asked his mother why his father hated her so much even though they were both his sons.
That's what his mother said, because she took his place in the women he liked.
But when I suddenly heard these words, my hatred for the old marquis deepened a little.
But I feel so happy and joyful.
That old guy actually raised someone else's son.
"Hahaha..." Liu Yan asked the servant in a good mood:
"How did you find out?"
The servant answered truthfully that it was a few years ago when he was keeping watch for someone else and he accidentally ran into Qiu and the second old master of the Liu family having a secret meeting, and that was what they were talking about at the time.
"Besides saying that Liu Zhang is not the old marquis's son, do the Qiu family have anything else to say?" Liu Yan asked.
The servant thought about it and was about to answer when suddenly Ling Ma's angry voice came from outside the door:
"Mrs. Wei, where the hell have you been? You didn't even come out to greet the old lady when she came."
When the servant heard this voice, he was delighted and shouted out:
"Old lady..."
The next moment, his voice stopped abruptly. Xiao Li covered his mouth tightly with one hand and pinched his neck with the other hand. She stared fiercely at the person she captured. As long as he made any unnecessary movements, she would ruthlessly wipe out his life.
Unfortunately, even though Xiao Yu cut off the source of the sound in time, people outside still heard it.
Qiu turned her head and looked towards the room on the right. She had never been to the North Courtyard since the old marquis died, and she didn't know who lived in that room.
She walked towards the room.
Upon seeing this, Ling Ma was shocked and immediately said:
"Madam, that's the room where the eldest master lives." She touched her waist unconsciously, and at this moment she still felt the pain from the last injury.
Qiu paused for a moment, then walked towards Liu Yan's room again:
"He's just a lunatic! I'm not afraid of him."
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked even more solemn, and Aunt Wei's legs went weak.
