Chapter 114: The thief is still determined and comes back again
Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
Qiu listened to what Pingnan Hou said and slammed the table in joy: "The heaven has finally opened its eyes. All those bastards of the Chen family should be imprisoned. They dared to go to my Pingnan Hou Mansion and act wildly. This is the end of them."
The resentment that had been pent up in my heart was finally released.
Pingnan Hou was also very happy. He drank the tea in his hand in one gulp and put down the cup:
"Mother, this way, we won't have to go through so much trouble to send that damn girl Liu Yu back to Prince Qi's mansion."
He had heard recently that the Prime Minister seemed to be interested in supporting Prince Qi.
Ever since the last incident, Liu Huan has become a nobody, and Prince Qi doesn't like the other girls in the Liu family. Prince Qi can't afford to lose this piece of fat meat.
If it is true that Prime Minister Zhang supports Prince Qi, their Pingnan Marquisate will be able to rebuild its former glory.
"My son is right..." Qiu's eyes flashed with sternness: "This matter must be handled quickly, but this time it will not be sent to Prince Qi's mansion. I think the last incident must have something to do with that damn girl Liu Yu."
"Not sending her to Prince Qi's mansion? What does mother mean?"
Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the north courtyard, saying meaningfully:
"Please invite Prince Qi to enter the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion..."
……
Here, Liu Yu returned to the capital, but did not go back to Chen Mansion immediately. Instead, he went to Yuzhen Hall.
At this time, Yuzhen Hall had closed down and all the embroiderers had gone back, leaving only Madam Yang and Lixia A-Zhong.
Madam Yang and Lixia were calculating the revenue from the opening days.
A Zhong and a servant were counting the cloth to be put into storage.
Liu Yu took a quick look at the account book and couldn't help smiling. He had to say that Feng Huan was a really good person. He thanked her for her selfless dedication.
With tens of thousands of dollars, she could open another Jade Needle Hall.
Liu Yu sat down on the stool and waited quietly for them to finish.
It was not until the hour of Xu that Madam Yang and Lixia handed the reconciled account book and the IOU to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu took the IOU account book, curled his lips slightly, and showed a smile that made people's hair stand on end. He put away the two things, thought for a while, and said: "Madam Yang, you have worked hard these days. Tell everyone later that in addition to the basic monthly salary, each person will be rewarded with an extra ten taels."
Madam Yang was surprised: "Madam, is this too much?"
They used to sell handkerchiefs, but they couldn't make that much in half a month.
Liu Yu smiled and said: "This is what everyone deserves."
"Madam, I thank you on behalf of those embroiderers." Mrs. Yang stood up and bowed to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu quickly helped her up and said, "Madam Yang, you still don't know me after all these days. I treat you as my family, so you don't have to be polite to me."
"I understand." Mrs. Yang smiled sincerely.
Liu Yu pulled her to sit down and said, "Madam Yang, you have worked the hardest. I will give you an extra ten taels."
Madam Yang was shocked and was about to refuse, but when she saw Liu Yu's eyes, she smiled with relief: "Okay, I'll listen to you, madam."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction. After Madam Yang and the servant left, she immediately instructed Lixia to find a way to send some silver, money and clothes to Master Chen San and the others.
After arranging everything and closing the door of Yuzhen Hall, A Zhong drove the car back to Chen's house.
Before he even stepped through the gate, he heard crying from inside the Chen Mansion.
problem occurs?
Liu Yu walked in quickly and carefully identified the direction of the crying.
She turned her head and looked. Was it from the south? Was it coming from the second room?
At this time, many servants and maids rushed south.
"What happened?" Liu Yu grabbed a little girl and asked.
The little maid saw that it was Liu Yu and immediately bowed:
"My dear aunt, several aunts from the South Courtyard ran away and stole the second lady's dowry."
What? In less than a day, this happened?
Liu Yu frowned and followed the others to the South Courtyard.
When she arrived, the South Courtyard was already surrounded by maids and servants.
The second lady's hysterical cry came out:
"Why am I so unlucky to meet a man like you, Chen Zhiru. All those were for Ran'er! Now they've all been stolen by your woman. What will Ran'er do?"
"Don't I know?" Master Chen roared, "How could I know they were going to run away..."
Chang cried even harder:
"Mother, sister-in-law... take a look..."
Hearing the couple quarreling, Liu Yu began to feel troubled for the first lady and even more worried about the old lady.
The Third Master's whereabouts were unknown and he was wanted. As a mother, which one couldn't bear this? And on top of that, such a troublesome thing happened in the mansion. Liu Yu was really afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to hold on.
In the afternoon, she also promised Mr. Chen San that she would take care of the old lady for him.
Liu Yu quickly pushed through the crowd and walked in.
Facts proved that her worries were justified. The old lady she saw at this moment seemed to have aged ten years overnight. If the old lady before looked like a beautiful woman in her forties, she now looked like a real old woman.
The most worrying thing was the old lady's condition. She sat there with her eyes closed, and Liu Yu could feel that she was trying her best to endure it.
She walked through the corridor, entered the house, came to the old lady, and asked in a low voice:
"Are you okay?"
Hearing Liu Yu's voice, the old lady opened her eyes immediately, with a rare look of joy in her eyes:
"What's going on? What's the situation outside?"
After receiving the wanted order for the third brother a few days ago, the old lady has restricted everyone in the family and asked them not to go out as much as possible.
The news brought back by the eldest and fourth brothers were all despairing. Although Liu Yu was only the third brother's concubine, she was one of the few smart and courageous people in the Chen family.
Last time she said she had a way to find the third brother, and she hopes she can bring back good news this time.
This mansion can no longer bear the bad news.
Under the old lady's expectant gaze, Liu Yu nodded and leaned over to say something to the old lady.
The old lady's eyes lit up, and her grip on her hand tightened unconsciously.
"Let's go." The old lady didn't know where she got the strength from, she pulled up Liu Yu who was squatting beside her and went to Shou'an Hall.
"Mother." The voice of the eldest lady, Mrs. Wu, came from behind them.
The old lady stopped and looked back with complicated eyes at Mr. Chen and his wife who were still fighting each other, and said to Mrs. Wu:
"Don't worry about it. Let them kneel down and take good care of the South Yard for me. Don't let even a mosquito in there. Come back after I'm done with my work." As he said that, he quickly pulled Liu Yu out of the South Yard.
After returning to Shou'an Hall, Liu Yu told the old lady the news that he had found Master Chen San and the others, as well as their conditions, but he still deliberately concealed the fact that Master Chen San was injured.
After hearing this, the old lady looked at Liu Yu deeply, patted the back of her hand, and cried with joy:
"Yu'er, how can you let your mother thank you?"
"Madam, we are family, there's no need to thank me." Liu Yu was flattered and waved her hand quickly.
The old lady smiled but said nothing. She really wanted to go see the third brother, but she forced herself to hold back.
Now is not the time to meet, she has more important things to do, and the evil spirits should show themselves.
