Chapter 96: Is Chen Fu dead?
Madam Chen's voice echoed in Fuhe Hall, and the people in Pingnan Marquis' Mansion realized that the Chen family had come to cause trouble.
Except for the Lou family, no one knew what had happened. Everyone was confused. Some even wondered if it was because of the last time they caused trouble at the Chen Mansion.
Isn’t it already over?
Someone from Pingnan Marquis's Mansion asked about it.
Mrs. Wu did not answer, but she looked at Mrs. Lou.
Following her line of sight, the people in Pingnan Marquis's residence also looked at Lou, realizing that the Qiu family had offended the Chen residence again.
An elder with a gray beard was very angry and banged the ground with his cane: "Tell me quickly, what have you done to offend the Chen family?"
Lou pursed her lips. She knew what Qiu had done, of course. But because she knew it, she didn't dare to say it. She couldn't bear the anger of the elders of the Liu family and the Chen family.
Seeing that Lou refused to answer and was not going to call Qiu out, Wu raised her hand, and the Chen family guards behind her immediately dispersed in all directions. Wherever they passed, they were like a swarm of locusts, and there was not a single good thing.
The people in Pingnan Marquis' Mansion were shocked and shouted for help. Only then did they realize that all their servants had been subdued by the Chen family.
"Lou, what are you waiting for? Go and call Qiu out..."
"Do you want to see the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion destroyed?"
Under pressure from her elders, Lou had to withdraw from Fuhe Hall and run to the North Courtyard to ask Qiu to come over.
But when she arrived at the North Courtyard, she saw the chaos inside, which was not much better than the situation in Fuhe Hall, so Lou held back her steps.
She didn't want to risk her life for Qiu, but she saw the kitchen knife in Liu Yan's hand.
Liu Yan was a lunatic, and there was a high possibility that he hacked her to death with a knife.
Lou stood in the corner, waiting for the North Court to finish.
She could wait, but the front yard couldn't. After waiting for a long time for Lou and Qiu to come over, she saw that the people from the Chen Mansion had smashed the Fuhe Hall and started to move outward.
The white-bearded elder called Lou's daughter Liu Ling and several maids and servants to look in the direction where Lou went.
When they found the road leading to the North Courtyard, Lou noticed her daughter. Looking at the figure about to rush out of the North Courtyard, she rushed out and stepped into the North Courtyard with Liu Linghui.
Xiao Yu and Liu Yan noticed Liu Ling and her group as early as they appeared on the road connecting to the North Courtyard.
The two people's eyes passed each other while running. One was half a step slower, and the other was half a step faster. The moment they came in, Xiao Yu and Aunt Wei just grabbed Liu Yan.
Liu Yan struggled but couldn't get free.
When Qiu saw his people coming, the anger he had been holding in for a while suddenly exploded.
At this moment, in her eyes, the overall situation and the usefulness of Liu Yu no longer existed. She had only one thought in her mind, she wanted to kill Liu Yan, no matter what method she used.
"Someone, come here, kill that lunatic for me." Qiu shouted, pointing at Liu Yan, who was pinned to the ground by Xiao Yu and still struggling frantically.
However, none of the servants moved. The people who had just kidnapped them were from the Chen family. Everyone in the North Courtyard knew that they were the parents of the Fifth Young Lady who were carried into the Chen Mansion. They were afraid of being kidnapped again.
The most important thing is that Lou did not speak.
After a long period of no response, Qiu looked back in confusion. She didn't think it was the servants' fear, but thought it was Lou's idea. She glared at Lou: "Lou, you have grown up!" She walked step by step to Lou's mother and son, raised her hand and wanted to hit Lou.
"Grandma." Liu Ling grabbed her hand:
"Haven't you caused enough trouble for our family? If you kill Liu Yan, our Liu family will be in trouble too." Liu Ling's face was very solemn, and he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Qiu in his eyes at all.
Although Qiu was very unhappy with Liu Ling's attitude, she also realized that something had happened and she regained a lot of her rationality.
Seeing this, Liu Ling leaned over and told her what happened in the front yard.
Qiu's face changed drastically. She didn't care about Liu Yan and the others. She just turned back and glared at Liu Yan who was still going crazy on the ground, and said:
"Wait until I come back, and then I'll take your life." After saying that, he led everyone to leave the North Courtyard.
But before they left, Lou suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Yan on the ground, and said abruptly:
"Go find a doctor to check on my brother."
Aunt Wei didn't understand until Mrs. Qiu and the others completely disappeared from her sight. She asked Liu Yan:
"Is she concerned about your prince?"
Liu Yan shook his head. He thought that there must be something wrong when things were abnormal. The Lou family would not be so kind.
But he didn't care about this now. He guessed that something big must have happened in the front yard, otherwise the Qiu family would not have let him go so easily.
He immediately turned around and walked back to the room, dragged the servant with his legs tied up off the couch, and threw him to the ground.
"Two options, death, or lurking by Qiu's side?" Liu Yan stared at the servant who had fallen to the ground and was seeing stars, and gave two choices without any discussion.
Xiao Yu cooperated and put the kitchen knife on the servant's neck.
Who would want to die when they can live?
The servant chose the second one without any hesitation.
Liu Yan was satisfied. Qiu's power in Pingnan Marquis's Mansion was so great that he had no one to rely on.
He had just risked such a great danger to protect the servant just for the second possibility.
In order to bring down the mother and son of the Qiu family, Qiu must have her own people around her. This is Liu Yan's first step.
He had to know every move of the Qiu family in the future so that he could make the most favorable judgment at the first time.
After the servant selected the conditions for survival, Xiao Yu, at Liu Yan's signal, took out a pill, pinched his chin open, and drank it directly.
The servant's face turned extremely ugly and he started coughing hard, trying to cough out the poison he had swallowed.
Liu Yan's voice came:
"This is the Hundred Days Powder. You need to take the antidote every hundred days. If you don't take it in time, your whole body will slowly soften, and eventually you will become like a pool of mud until you die completely."
The servant shuddered, feeling a strong sense of fear in his heart. He kowtowed and promised:
"I promise I will never betray you, Master."
"What's your name?" Liu Yan asked.
"My humble name is Xiaojia."
Liu Yan nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go back to Fuhe Hall.
In an hour, I want to know what happened in Fukuhe Hall, no matter how big or small it is."
Xiao Yu removed the rope on Xiao Jia. Xiao Jia didn't dare to waste any more time. He kowtowed to Liu Yan, turned around and quickly left the North Courtyard.
Seeing Xiaojia leaving, Liu Yan immediately ordered: "Xiaoyu, you should also go to Fuhetang now. You must find out the news about the girl."
"Yes." Xiao Yu took the order and quickly retreated.
"Sir, something must have happened to Yu'er. She has never been away from home for a night before."
