Chapter 123: But I can't help it

After noon, a carriage passed through the gate of the county palace and slowly walked out.

Inside the carriage, sat Liu Lianyue and her personal maid Ying'er, the two of them looked sad, Ying'er sighed, and asked softly: "Sister, aren't you worried that the people of Minghou Mansion will come out of the house and not keep their promises? What if we return the marriage certificate and they end up biting us?"

Liu Lianyue shook her head, although she wore light makeup today, she still couldn't hide the vicissitudes engraved on her face, during this time, she couldn't sleep almost every night, since she learned that her younger brother Liu Wuya swept the gambling martial arts field, she became even more haggard.

What kind of person Bai Jiucang is, perhaps only she knows best, as the lord of a state, he will naturally start to be wary of their sister and brother.

You must know that their father Liu Yemei died in the hands of Bai Jiucang, for so many years, Liu Lianyue has always kept the truth in her heart, and has never mentioned half a sentence to her younger brother about the cause of her father's death, just worried that her younger brother will be dealt with by Bai Jiucang because of this matter.

And Liu Lianyue, as a woman, has no talent for martial arts since she was a child, if she is the only one left in this world, she can at least risk death to avenge her father, but now she has to think about her younger brother.

Moreover, she also knew that with her own ability, she would not be able to avenge her father at all, and not only would her life be difficult to protect, but even her younger brother would be implicated because of this.

"There is no other way at the moment, but to trust the people of Minghou Mansion, now the only thing we can use is that marriage letter, the entire Zishan Prefecture, who would dare to come forward to offend the county king for us?" Liu Lianyue said with a haggard face.

Ying'er opened a pair of big eyes, staring helplessly at Liu Lianyue in front of her, and naturally there was indescribable bitterness in her heart.

For such a long time, she has been by Liu Lianyue's side, knowing that she has suffered a lot for Liu Wuya, even if Liu Wuya has made some small achievements in martial arts now, and has also been appreciated by the old ancestor, she still can't rest assured.

And this worry is just because Liu Wuya is growing too fast.

Ying'er sighed and said, "Who would have thought that Liu Gongzi would have such a talent against the sky, and in such a short period of time, he would cultivate to this level. ”

Liu Lianyue was silent, but she thought the same as Ying'er in her heart, originally she just hoped that her younger brother Liu Wuya would be an ordinary martial artist, just like an insignificant star in the vast starry sky, ordinary and not eye-catching.

Because in their current situation, they can't be noticed.

Bai Jiucang kept their two sisters and brothers, which did not mean that they were allowed to let them go.

Their actions must have been well known by Bai Jiucang, no matter what, with their current identity, it is impossible to escape from Bai Jiucang's palm.

The carriage bumped all the way, and after passing through the downtown area, it turned into a deep alley.

In the innermost part of the alley, there is the huge vermilion gate of the Ming Marquis Mansion.

Ying'er got off the carriage first, and then helped Liu Lianyue down, and under the leadership of the guards in front of the Minghou Mansion, she walked towards the hall deep in the mansion.

General Minghou sat upright in the hall, looking at Liu Lianyue and Ying'er in the center of the hall with cold eyes, and did not have a trace of hospitality etiquette, because in his opinion, Liu Lianyue was not a distinguished guest at all, and Ying'er was nothing more than a maid.

"How is it? Did the stinky boy agree?" General Minghou asked with a heavy face.

Liu Lianyue nodded, her eyes did not dare to look directly at General Minghou, but looked down at her feet slightly, "My brother has already agreed, in a few days, we can send the marriage letter to the mansion!"

"Good!" General Minghou smiled and said loudly. "Even if that kid is smart and knows the times, if he is allowed to be arrogant, I'm afraid I won't even know how he died in the end!"

Liu Lianyue stood in the hall like a subordinate, trembling in her heart, for so many years, she had been living in fear, and in her heart, she had long been branded with a lingering servility, and now in the face of the famous Ming Hou General in Zishan Prefecture, she naturally did not dare to have any rudeness.

"General, I came here this time to confirm with you, we will return the marriage certificate, but what did you promise me?"

"What? Do you think I'm going to go back on my word? You have to know, now is the lives of your sister and brother important, or this marriage letter is important, I am a general of Zishan Prefecture, how can I be the kind of person who does not believe in my words, don't worry, once the marriage letter is in hand, I will naturally ask the county king to intercede for you, but the most important thing is to see the performance of that stinky boy, if he continues to be so persistent, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to save the two of you at that time!"

"Since the general said so, then I will naturally persuade my brother well!"

"Well, it's good if you understand, go back and tell that kid that the king doesn't like people who are too public, let him do it himself!"

"Thank you for the general's reminder, I will naturally discipline my brother well, but please ask the general to say a few kind words in front of the county king in this matter, and I, Liu Lianyue, will naturally not forget your kindness!"

Ying'er stood aside, her brows furrowed, and when she heard her sister whispering so low to General Minghou, she felt angry in her heart, but she had to hold back.

After all, she is just a maid, and she always wants to say a lot of things in her heart that she is not used to, but how can a maid do what she wants?

But she is not Liu Lianyue, and she can't understand the hardships that Liu Lianyue has suffered for so many years, so naturally she doesn't understand what Liu Lianyue thinks in her heart, and she doesn't know why she did it!

After leaving the Minghou Mansion, Ying'er's face was extremely pale.

Liu Lianyue saw it in her eyes and understood what she was thinking.

So he said, "Ying'er, do you think I'm very unproductive?"

"I didn't say that!" Ying'er said coldly, although she said so, her expression had betrayed him.

Liu Lianyue smiled slightly, and said: "You are still young, some things will not be understood, I only have Liu Wuya as a relative now, he is my own brother, and the only descendant of the Liu family, he was still young when his father died, and he didn't understand anything, but now that he has grown up and matured his mind, once he knows the truth, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Ying'er was silent and sat on the carriage with her head bowed.

"We don't have any forces to cling to in Zishan County now, it takes too much strength to survive, besides, I'm just a weak woman, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, the only thing I can do is to lower my body as much as possible, even if it is low to the dust, as long as I can save my brother's life, it is worth it!"

"But...... But aren't you tired?" Ying'er choked up suddenly.

Liu Lianyue patted her on the shoulder and said, "Tired, of course tired, but there is no way!"
