Chapter 97 What happened to Liu Yu?
Inside the Chen Mansion.
It was not until the evening that Liu Yu learned what had happened in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
At this moment, she was sitting in Shou'an Hall, listening to Wu's report, and she felt particularly happy.
This time, Qiu ended up losing more than she gained. Not only did she not get what she wanted, she also offended the two governments of Chen and Qi.
Prince Qi even deprived the Liu family of their qualification to take the imperial examination next year on the spot, claiming that the Liu family had bad conduct.
"You mean that Prince Qi also went there later and helped you?" The old lady interrupted Wu and turned her gaze to Liu Yu.
"Yes..." Mrs. Wu recalled the scene at Chen's mansion.
After Qiu appeared, she rushed into Fushou Hall like a madman.
After coming out, she saw that their eyes looked like they wanted to eat her, so she was naturally not afraid and made her attitude clear. They could compensate for the things, but they could not just let it go as they poisoned Liu Yu and almost ruined his face. She had to give an explanation to the Chen family and give Liu Yu justice.
But Qiu flatly denied the incident and even turned the tables, trying to use the same method that Chen's family had used to deal with their Liu family. She wanted to send the people from Chen's family to the government office and sue them for trespassing into a private house.
The Chen family had already been prepared for this, but they just hadn't waited for them to take any action.
Another group of people broke in from outside. Without saying a word, hundreds of people surrounded the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. Wu recognized the man who came in. He was the Prince Qi who had come to their Chen Mansion last time and talked to their third brother about this and that.
Wu had heard that the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion had sent women to the Qi Wang Mansion, and she thought that Qi Wang was here to help the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. She gritted her teeth and kept muttering that it was a Cheng Yaojin who showed up out of nowhere.
Not only her, but also the Liu family branch and Qiu themselves thought so.
But Prince Qi's next move left the Wu and Chen families completely confused.
Prince Qi actually stood on the side of the Chen family and asked the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion to apologize to the Chen family on the spot. He even threatened that the Liu family had bad conduct and would directly remove the Liu family's quota for the imperial examination next year. Anyone with the surname Liu would not be allowed to take the imperial examination again within three years.
"It's impossible for Prince Qi to cause trouble for the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion for no reason. Do you know what the reason is?" the old lady asked with a frown.
Wu shook her head: "Prince Qi didn't say anything, he just said that he couldn't stand what the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion did." She had always wondered why Prince Qi's Mansion would help the Chen Mansion when they had always been at odds with them.
At this point, Mrs. Wu remembered something, took out a box of ointment from her arms and handed it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he still looked at Wu in confusion.
Wu smiled and explained: "Oh, this ointment was given to me by Prince Qi when he heard that Fifth Brother's wife said that you were almost disfigured. He happened to have this ointment with him, so he gave it to me. It is said that it was prepared by Luo Yuanshou himself."
"Face is a big problem. If you try, it should help you quickly repair your injured face."
"Thank you, Madam." Liu Yu stood up, bowed, and took the medicine.
Looking at the medicine in her hand, she felt mixed emotions, but she still put it into her sleeve under the watchful eyes of Wu and the others.
The old lady knew roughly what had happened. As for why Prince Qi's Mansion helped them, if it was because of the Chen Mansion, the purpose would always be revealed later.
If it is because of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion itself, it is a good thing for their Chen Mansion.
She didn't ask any more questions, waved her hand, asked Wu to leave Shou'an Hall, and left Liu Yu behind.
"Yu'er, the third brother has been gone for a while, right? Apart from the letter he sent half a month ago to report that he was safe, is there anything else?"
"It was already half a month ago. How come there is no letter yet?"
Liu Yu thought that the old lady kept her because she had noticed something and wanted to ask her about her relationship with Prince Qi's Mansion, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly ask about Mr. Chen Sanye.
"No." She shook her head truthfully.
The old lady wondered:
"But it's already been three days since the half-month deadline. How come you haven't received the letter of safety that was promised every half-month?" the old lady wondered.
Looking at the old lady's distressed and worried expression, is her restlessness these days related to Mr. Chen Sanye?
Liu Yu is different from the old lady. She knows that Mr. Chen San will be in danger when he goes to Lingnan this time, but she has already reminded Mr. Chen San, so there should be no danger.
Could it be that Mr. Chen San still hasn't avoided it?
will not.
As soon as this idea came out, Liu Yu rejected it immediately.
Mr. Chen San had repeatedly promised her that he would avoid the Cliff Valley.
What's more, he is accompanied by Wu Ye and other experts, so nothing will happen to him.
Liu Yu kept comforting himself in his heart.
She smiled and said comfortingly:
"Madam, it's okay. Maybe the messenger was delayed on the way! Lingnan is a mountainous area with many slippery terrains. It's not uncommon for letters to be delayed."
The old lady stroked the nineteen Buddhist beads that she had re-strung in her hand and murmured:
"I hope what you said is true."
"It must be true. Don't worry too much. Last time, Third Master said that he would be back in just twenty days! You should take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when Third Master comes back, he will blame us for not taking good care of you."
After comforting the old lady, Liu Yu left Shou'an Hall and told Grandma Kui to go back to Marquis Pingnan's Mansion. Then he returned to Qinyuanju. Perhaps affected by the old lady's mood, he felt a little uneasy.
This caused her to be distracted from time to time throughout the next day and she often made mistakes.
Just like at this moment, she clearly entered the room to look for the list of the jewelry shop Haitang Pavilion that Mr. Chen San asked her to keep for safekeeping before he left. But as soon as she stepped into the room, she forgot about it, and when she came out, she was holding a stool in her hand.
Lian Baoer was waiting for Guyu and Chen Xiyao outside and was very confused.
Lian Baoer cast his gaze on Chen Xiyao, his eyes seemed to be asking, "Did something happen during the time I was away?"
Some time ago, before Mr. Chen San left, Lian Baoer specifically asked Mr. Chen San for permission to go home, and she just returned from her hometown the night before last.
Liu Yu said that she would go out today to get some things and asked Lian Baoer if she wanted to go with her. Lian Baoer agreed without even thinking about it.
It was so miserable to be in the countryside.
So she came to Qinyuanju early in the morning. Not long after she arrived, the little aunt Chen, who was loved by everyone in the Chen family, also came. Lian Baoer had a cheerful personality and soon started chatting with Chen Xiyao.
It turned out that during the time she was away, Sister Yu'er and Chen Xiyao became close friends. She was very happy for Sister Yu'er. With the care of this young lady in the Chen family, Sister Yu'er's life in the Chen Mansion would be much better in the future.
After Chen Xiyao told Lian Baoer what had happened to Liu Yu in recent days, Liu Yu finally came out.
But what the hell is that in her hand?
Several people looked at Liu Yu with strange expressions.
"Sister Yu'er, aren't you going to the list? Why did you bring Zhang Wuzi out?"
After being reminded by Lian Baoer, Liu Yu realized that he had made a mistake and his expression became stiff.
