Chapter 119 I Will Cooperate
"Madame Ling."
Looking at the figure behind the four maids, who else could it be but Ling Ma from Qiu's side? Liu Yu stood up with the help of the wall and asked expressionlessly:
"What do you want to do? Tell me! I will cooperate and not resist."
Aunt Ling sneered:
"Fifth Miss, there's no need to act. The old lady knows what happened last time. She won't believe you."
"So, this is the reason why you locked me up?" Liu Yu showed an understanding look. Once something is done, traces will be left. It is only a matter of time before the Qiu family finds out.
Based on the previous conversation, Liu Yu connected his guesses and was almost certain:
"In other words, you are planning to take action again this time and send me to Prince Qi? And then to prevent any accidents, you locked me up here."
Ling Ma'am's eyes shone, and she warned: "Since Fifth Miss knows, just cooperate obediently and don't try to play tricks."
"Mr. Chen San is dead, and the Chen family is in trouble. No one will stand up for you anymore. Following Prince Qi is your final destination."
Qiu really can't wait!
But she didn't plan to resist. Her chance of escaping was better if she went out than if she was locked up here.
Liu Yu leaned against the wall, closed his eyes obediently, and gave up resisting completely.
This time, it was Nanny Ling who was confused. She thought there would be a fierce resistance, as most of the four maids she brought were good at fighting.
However, thinking back to what happened in the North Courtyard last time, although Liu Yu did not do anything and even helped them stop the old man, she always felt that this family was not easy to deal with.
She dared not take it lightly anymore and immediately ordered her four maids:
"Tie up the fifth girl."
Four maids walked towards Liu Yu, tied her hands quickly, and covered her eyes.
At Nanny Ling's order again, Liu Yu was taken out of the room.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Liu Yu felt that she was taken into a scented room. The candlelight shone through the black cloth into her eyes, and the fragrance filled her nose.
"Untie the Fifth Miss!" Ling Ma's voice sounded at the right time. She smiled and said to Liu Yu:
"Fifth Miss, the prince is of noble status. It is definitely not possible for you to serve him in your current attire. These four maids will stay and help you bathe and change clothes."
"it is good."
"Fifth Miss, you are a smart person. I won't talk about the other old servants. Now that you don't have the help of the Chen Mansion, you should know that you can't escape the old lady's control. Serve Prince Qi well, which will be good for both you and me, or I will be merciless." Madam Ling warned again with concern.
Liu Yu nodded obediently in cooperation with a calm expression. No matter what Ling Ma said, she would not resist. It seemed that she was really moved by Ling Ma's words.
The more Liu Yu behaved, the more uneasy Ling Ma became. She instructed the four maids:
"Keep an eye on the fifth girl. If she dares to play tricks, you can teach her a lesson as long as she doesn't hurt her face."
"Yes"
Nanny Ling turned around, closed the door, left the room, and walked towards the middle-aged man standing across the room. This man was Liu Zhang, Marquis of Pingnan.
"No trouble, right?" Liu Zhang asked.
Aunt Ling shook her head and answered truthfully, "No, it's very quiet."
"That's good. This little girl is sensible. She's lucky." Liu Zhang sighed and waved his hand, signaling Nanny Ling to leave.
In the room, after Nanny Ling left, four maids began to bathe and change clothes for Liu Yu.
Liu Yu did not resist rashly. She noticed from the hands of the maid who had tied her up that the palms of her hands were covered with calluses, which were similar to the hands of Grandma Kui Xiaoli. She guessed that these four people should know some kung fu. Not to mention the people she had just seen guarding outside, she would have had no chance of winning if she resisted rashly.
"Where is this place?" Liu Yu asked seemingly unintentionally.
A maid in green who was kneeling beside the tub and serving Liu Yu a bath spoke coldly:
"Fifth Miss, don't waste your energy. We won't say anything."
……
North courtyard.
Listening to Xiaojia's report, Liu Yan's face looked very ugly, and more solemn than ever before.
He asked:
"Is the news true?"
"Yes, the person imprisoned in the secret room is the Fifth Young Lady. I got that information from the housekeeper's nephew. I can't be wrong." Xiao Jia said with certainty.
He spent two taels of silver to get the housekeeper's nephew drunk, and got the money out of him, so it couldn't be wrong.
Liu Yan nodded: "Do you know why the mother and son arrested Yu'er?"
Liu Yu was afraid that they would worry about the incident at Prince Qi's Mansion, so he never mentioned it to Liu Yan and the others. Even when the Chen Mansion came to cause trouble afterwards, Liu Yu did not show up.
At this point, Liu Yan couldn't figure out the real reason why Qiu kidnapped Liu Yu. He even wondered if it was because Qiu knew he was pretending and wanted to avenge him for the last time he stabbed her with a knife.
Liu Yan thought again and felt that something was not right. If it was really because of this matter, Qiu should have arrested himself as well. It was impossible for him to arrest only Yu'er.
But no matter what the reason, he had to rescue Yu'er first.
He didn't care whether people would find out that he was pretending to be crazy. He made plans before taking action. That was when Yu'er and Aunt Wei were both safe.
Liu Yan stood up and walked into his room. When he came out, he was holding a knife in his hand.
Xiaojia was so frightened that he shuddered:
"Master, I will go and find out right away."
"No need, just lead the way for me." Liu Yan opened the door and told Xiao Liu and Xiao Liu who were guarding outside:
"Both of you take your weapons and follow me to the secret room to rescue the girl."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Liu were both martial artists, and they were guarding outside to prevent the last incident from happening again. Every word Xiao Jia said was heard by them.
They had already prepared themselves, and they would go even if Liu Yan didn't go.
"Master, we are ready."
"Okay." Liu Yan glanced at Xiao Jia and motioned him to lead the way.
Xiaojia didn't want to be exposed, but seeing the three people in front of him looking murderous, he didn't dare to say a word and honestly walked in front of them to lead the way.
Just as Liu Yan was about to leave, Aunt Wei suddenly came out of the room. She grabbed Liu Yan's arm, looked at the knife in his hand, and asked nervously:
"My Lord, where are you going?"
Looking at the weak and helpless woman in front of him, Liu Yan didn't intend to tell her about his daughter and was just about to find an excuse to get rid of her.
Aunt Wei seemed to see Liu Yan's thoughts and took the lead and spoke firmly:
"Take me with you, my lord. I am not afraid."
She could no longer allow the prince to take risks alone.
"Too dangerous..."
Aunt Wei interrupted him:
"I won't listen. The prince wants to take me with him anyway. If you don't take me with you, I won't let you go."
Liu Yan felt the strength of Aunt Wei's palm, and looked at her determined expression, as if she would never let him go if he didn't agree. He finally gave in:
"Okay! No matter what happens later, just follow me closely, okay?"
"Ah."
The further they delayed, the more dangerous Yu'er would be. Liu Yan quickly pulled Aunt Wei up and followed Xiaojia to the courtyard where Qiu lived.
As they walked, Liu Yan told Aunt Wei about Liu Yu.
