Chapter 127 Beat up the drowned dog
"My lady, will the old lady of Pingnan Marquis really be willing to give up her title?"
On the way back to Chen Mansion, Guyu asked curiously.
Liu Yu shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, they are not that kind of people."
Guyu and the others all looked at Liu Yu, their faces full of curiosity, as if to say, what's the point of doing this?
Liu Yu and Mr. Chen smiled at each other. He played with the memorial in his hand and answered the question for Liu Yu:
"They should start from somewhere else."
Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
Since the Chen family can't take action, they will definitely take action on the chosen person.
It can be seen from the people they chose that Liu Heng, the third son of the old marquis, is an honest and simple-minded person. Even though the mother and son of the Qiu family drove him to the point of being tortured over the years, he still had no complaints. Such a person is too easy to control.
……
Liu Yu's guess was correct. Qiu's plan was indeed like this. She watched Liu Yu and the others leave, and listened to Liu Zhang's cries and unwilling roars.
She calmed down and said to Liu Zhang meaningfully:
"Zhang'er, don't worry, no one can take away your title." There was a vicious flash in Qiu's eyes. She had made many preparations. She wanted Liu Heng to die.
Even if Liu Heng inherited the title, she would support and control him, making him alienated from the elders of the clan and unable to keep his position secure.
Liu Zhang looked at his mother's expression and felt relieved. This was just an accident. As long as his mother wanted to do something, she would succeed.
Liu Yan, who was once a highly praised prince, was pulled down from the throne by his mother. So who is Liu Heng now?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang felt much more at ease and began to cooperate with the palace doctor who came in to treat his leg.
They didn't know that Liu Yu had guessed their plans clearly.
She told Guyu:
"After returning home, you can pick a smart maid from Qinyuanju." She will go to the pile of Pingnan Marquis Mansion tomorrow.
Knowing the approximate direction of Qiu's mother and son, Liu Yu would not let them go. Being soft-hearted to the enemy would be irresponsible for his own life.
Seeing Liu Yu handling the affairs of Pingnan Marquis Mansion calmly,
Mr. Chen San laughed.
He let Liu Yu decide everything for her. No matter where she went, he would be behind her. He only had to support her in the aftermath of things she couldn't handle.
Feeling Mr. Chen's gaze and the inexplicable smile on his lips,
Liu Yu actually knew that his personality had changed too much, which might give people a sense of split personality. When he first entered Chen's house, he was tolerant and was even controlled by others. But this time he was completely proactive, ruthless, and in control of the situation.
Would he think she was scheming and dislike her? If so, she felt it necessary to make it clear.
"Third Master, after this, do you think I'm too cruel? This is not what you want." In his previous life, after Li Qi knew her methods, he felt that he had misjudged her and gradually distanced himself from her. Later, when the concubine had an unexpected miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, saying that she was a vicious woman who had deceived him.
At that moment, it was as if I knew that men only like women with simple minds.
Maybe it was because of her previous life, but in this life, after she entered the Chen Mansion, she subconsciously wanted to show the image of a weak woman except that she wanted to lie down and not care about anything else.
It was not that she wanted to please Mr. Chen San, but at that time, she couldn't be pushed back by the Chen family.
In fact, Liu Yu herself knew that she was not, and had never been. How could she be a simple little white rabbit when she could fight her way out of so many women in Prince Qi’s harem and ascend to the throne?
But ever since Liu Yu discovered that Mr. Chen San had feelings for her, she has been thinking about this issue. She doesn't want the same thing that happened in her previous life to happen again.
Just now at the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, even though Mr. Chen San was present, she still did not restrain herself or hide herself.
The present self is no longer the same as when she was reborn. Even if Mr. Chen San doesn't want her for this reason, with the Jade Needle Hall, she has a way out.
Mr. Chen Sanye's smile froze on his face. He suddenly took Liu Yu's hand, quickened his pace, stepped over the threshold, entered Qinyuanju, and came to the room.
He pushed her to sit on the stool, squatted in front of her, and looked at her closely with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul.
Facing such a Mr. Chen San, Liu Yu's eyes were somewhat evasive:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
But Mr. Chen San did not intend to let her go. In fact, he could feel that Liu Yu was being deliberate and distant towards him, as if there was a layer of separation between them.
He wanted to break this layer.
Before leaving for Lingnan, he said that he wanted her to truly become his woman.
He wanted her to be his woman, wholeheartedly.
But from the question Liu Yu just asked, he vaguely felt that this was the barrier between them.
She is afraid.
If this problem is not resolved, he believes that even if she becomes his woman, their relationship will not improve and she will still not open up to him.
That's not what he wants.
Mr. Chen looked at her and said very seriously:
"Yu'er, I tell you no, I like you like this, and I'm even more pleased with your change. People can't just be kind all the time. Sometimes you have to use necessary means to protect the ones you care about."
This was his true feelings. When he came here, he was worried that she was too kind and would forgive the mother and son of the Qiu family.
The result now is what he is most satisfied with. Only when she has the awareness of self-protection and the means to match it, will she be truly safe.
Relying on others can save you the first and second time in a crisis, but there will always be times when you neglect or relax.
Moreover, Mr. Chen San felt that this was the real her.
Seeing Mr. Chen Sanye's seriousness, Liu Yu finally felt relieved.
"I know what you mean. I think too much."
"It's good to know."
Master Chen San stood up, held her head, kissed her on the forehead, and said solemnly: "In the future, you don't have to call yourself a concubine in front of me."
"No." Liu Yu refused without thinking: "This is against the rules."
If other people heard it, they would say that she was spoiled and pampered, which would be detrimental to her reputation and that of Master Chen San.
Although the old lady and other Chen people did not treat her like a concubine, she could not ignore the rules openly.
Seeing Liu Yu's expression of no room for negotiation, Mr. Chen San mentioned this matter, but in his heart he said, "Sooner or later, he will make her change her name."
Liu Yu had no idea what Mr. Chen San was thinking. Even though she had heard about it from Feng Xiao, she still asked about what happened at the court meeting this morning.
When Liu Yu heard that the old lady would go to the Queen Mother and tell the truth about Feng Bu's crime, she became suspicious. She asked Master Chen San, "If everything goes well, what will be the fate of Feng Bu?"
Can she come and give the fallen dog a beating?
