Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu glanced at each other and didn't speak for a while.
"It's hard to say." After a while, the second Mrs. Liu said, "If you are alive, why does the old lady say that she wants to see someone, but the third old man only cares about delaying, and he can't say a sure place to go." ”
"I can't." Second Master Liu shook his head and said, "The third brother has also been strictly taught by his father since he was a child. Our family is not such a frivolous family, and we don't take human life seriously. ”
Second Master Liu insisted that Peony was not dead. At the very least, it won't be Master Liu San and Mrs. Liu San who killed them. As for the death of Peony after leaving, or for other reasons, it would not be the original intention of Master Liu San. Originally, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu would not talk about such a thing in front of Liu Ruoxi, but recently they found that Liu Ruoxi is no longer as childish and willful as in the past, and her speech and demeanor are much more mature and stable. There are even times when some of Liu Ruoxi's insights are deeper than all of them. Therefore, the husband and wife's attitude towards Liu Ruoxi has unconsciously changed accordingly.
They discussed things with Liu Ruoxi more and more naturally, and listened carefully to Liu Ruoxi's opinions, and no longer treated Liu Ruoxi completely as a child. Liu Ruoxi's ideas and suggestions are becoming more and more important in their minds.
"What do you think?" Second Mrs. Liu asked Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi thought about it, and judging from the descriptions and attitudes of Master Liu San and Mrs. Liu San, she guessed that things should be like this. Mrs. Liu gave it to someone, but Mrs. Liu San was unwilling to accept it, and she was forced to be helpless at that time. Temporarily collected. But as soon as she left the capital, Mrs. Liu San thought of a way. Sent people away. It should be someone who gave the peony to and let that person take the peony away from afar. Afterwards. Never been contacted again.
"It should have been discussed a long time ago, just like what the third uncle said to the old lady. Unexpectedly, the old lady had a seizure first and asked the third aunt's face. The third aunt ...... should still be haunted by this matter and have a grudge against that girl, so there will be a discrepancy with what the third uncle said. Liu Ruoxi told her thoughts to Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu both felt that what Liu Ruoxi said made sense. Both of them know that Master Liu San has always been looking for foreign assignments over the years, and he refuses to stay in the capital, although it is for the sake of his future. But to a large extent, it is also because of Mrs. Liu San's wishes.
Mrs. Liu San is not used to living in the capital. This is not to say that Mrs. Liu San is not used to life in the capital, but that she can't stand the life of the Liu family's mansion. There is the domination of Mrs. Liu above, and there are concubines fighting below. Mrs. Liu San is used to living an unrestrained life, and this time she came back really for the marriage of Liu Yuxiang and Liu Ruoshan.
"What the hell is going on with Peony now?" Mrs. Liu said to herself.
"We don't know about this matter, the old lady doesn't know. The third uncle and the third aunt should be clear. Again, it's the big brother. …… I'm afraid it's true. That's what happened today. Liu Ruoxi said.
"He'er, you mean ......," Mrs. Liu said.
Second Master Liu also looked at Liu Ruoxi.
"Dad, mother, do you need to talk about this?" Liu Ruoxi said.
The thing is clear. Last time, Mrs. Liu brought up the matter of peony. is the hint given by Liu Ruoyuan. Then, Master Liu San cleverly covered up the matter and just waited for the right opportunity. Let Mrs. Liu completely expose this matter and not mention it. Today is the day to entertain distinguished guests. Mrs. Liu was very happy and tired. There was no sudden mention of this matter, for the sake of Mrs. Liusan. Unless, someone said something in front of Mrs. Liu.
"Mother, you were there at the time. The old lady asked the third aunt like that, obviously thinking that the third aunt had killed the peony. Liu Ruoxi said.
Would Mrs. Liu have such thoughts for no reason? Of course not.
"That's the eldest lady, your eldest brother may not be ......," said Mrs. Liu.
"Seeing that they are so sure of this matter, they must have grasped the exact news. The eldest wife, the eldest grandmother, and the eldest sister are in the back house all day, and what they can know is limited. "Only Liu Yujiang is convenient for walking outside, inquiring about news, and arranging things.
Moreover, these people are originally one.
Second Mrs. Liu and Second Master Liu were silent.
"These days, Da Lang is busy and almost no one is seen. Yesterday, I heard that he also went to Beijing. I thought it was the old lady's birthday...... "Second Master Liu said.
Having said that, there is nothing I don't understand.
"Why did they deal with the third aunt like this?" Liu Ruoxi threw out a question.
"The third wife's temper is different from mine. When she came back this time, it seemed that she wanted to follow the housekeeper. She has been in charge of the kitchen for the past few days, and many people have had seizures. Mrs. Liu said.
This is naturally a reason, Mrs. Liu San is a strong person, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma are afraid that Mrs. Liu San will rob them of the authority to be in charge, so they counterattack and use Mrs. Liu to rectify Mrs. Liu San. But is that the only reason?
“…… Come close to us ......, and ...... Jishiro," Mrs. Liu said again.
"That's right." Liu Ruoxi nodded, and looked at Second Master Liu.
Second Master Liu sighed and nodded slightly.
Liu Yujiang wanted to be the heir of the second room, but they chose Liu Yuhuai. Now, Liu Yujiang can't offend them, so he can only start from Liu Yuhuai's side, that is, to deal with the people in the third room. Moreover, they also succeeded.
Mrs. Liu San was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, which was not a big blow to Sanfang, and it also showed Mrs. Liu's attitude towards Mrs. Liu San.
Mrs. Liu has never been waiting to see Mrs. Liu, and Liu Ruoxi has also been sued by Liu Ruoyuan for not knowing how much, however, Mrs. Liu has never punished their mother and daughter to kneel in the ancestral hall.
"Dad, mother, today's incident has no intention of demonstrating to us." Liu Ruoxi turned the teacup in her hand and said in a low voice.
"The old lady is not a big idea." Second Master Liu pondered. As the son of Mrs. Liu, Second Master Liu still knows Mrs. Liu very well.
"Daddy is right. Today's events are all those people who have eaten the old lady's temper. Instigated the old lady to do it. punished the third aunt to kneel in the ancestral hall, but I am afraid that it was also the idea they gave. Liu Ruoxi said. asked Mrs. Liu, "...... Mother. In the old lady's house, what did you see those two mothers-in-law like to the third aunt? ”
The two mothers-in-law who were called into the house by Mrs. Liu and pulled Mrs. Liu to the ancestral hall were all mothers-in-law of the last class, and they usually didn't dare to look up when they saw their masters. But they treated Mrs. Liu San with no respect or timidity at all. When the two of them entered the house, they didn't allow Mrs. Liu San to react at all, so they pulled Mrs. Liu San up. Treat Mrs. Liu San. It's like treating a girl or servant woman who has lost her momentum and can't turn over again.
"It's a lot of nonsense." Mrs. Liu said, "Those two people usually don't have such guts. ”
"And who gave them the guts today?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
“…… Big Lady...... They're all pre-arranged?! "There is no need for Liu Ruoxi to say more, Second Mrs. Liu also understands.
"Mother, were you also scared at that time?" Liu Ruoxi said, "Mother, think about it carefully, are you afraid of those two mothers-in-law." Mother. At that time, you figured it out in your heart, right? ”
Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly, what Liu Ruoxi said was inaccurate. At that time. She really didn't figure it out, but the fear in her subconscious was the truest reaction. Yes. At that time, she had already thought of this subconsciously. Mrs. Liu, they can make Mrs. Liu treat Mrs. Liu like this. can make Mrs. Liu treat her the same, as well as Liu Ruoxi.
This home. has been controlled by Mrs. Liu's hands. They can influence Mrs. Liu's thoughts, and the subordinates in this mansion are obedient to them.
Liu Ruoxi once said that it is difficult to move an inch, but it is not vain. It's just because they never argue that this phenomenon is downplayed.
When Second Master Liu heard their mother and daughter talk like this, his face changed, and he held Mrs. Liu's hand under the table.
Now they have no conflict of interest with the people of the long house, and if one day, this situation changes, then what will happen to his wife and children. Mrs. Liu has a soft temperament, which is completely inferior to Mrs. Liu's pungent and tough. And Liu Ruoxi, their only daughter, has no ability to protect herself.
In this New Year's month, Ji'er almost lost her life!
Second Master Liu's heart churned.
"It's all me,...... Hey, negligent ......" Second Master Liu blamed himself very much. He has always been immersed in the career he loves, and takes it for granted that his wife and daughter are doing well at home, but he neglects to take care of and protect his wife and daughter.
"I can't blame you." Second Mrs. Liu immediately said, "It's still because of my ......, my lord has serious business outside, and I'm at home all day." It's useless ......."
Liu Ruoxi didn't speak, objectively speaking, it was the attitude of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu who had no quarrel with the world and settled things to settle the situation that made the itinerary of the situation of the Changfang family dominating.
"Nowadays ......"
"It's hard to return." Liu Ruoxi said.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were a little anxious.
"No matter how hard it is, it can't go on like this." Mrs. Liu said first, "Tomorrow, I will go and tell the old lady that I also want to take care of the house." ”
"I'll go talk to my eldest brother." Second Master Liu said, "He doesn't care more than me, and he definitely doesn't know these things." ”
Liu Ruoxi hurriedly stopped the two.
"Since it is difficult to return, it is not something that can be solved in a day or two and in a few words. Gotta take your time. Liu Ruoxi said, "Mother, you can understand today's situation, you know it in your heart, and you don't have to embarrass yourself, just take care of some family affairs immediately." ”
"Dad, you don't have to tell your uncle for the time being. Although the eldest uncle is majestic, it is not that he can solve everything with a word. Liu Ruoxi said to the second master Liu again.
"So what now?" Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu said. This is not asking Liu Ruoxi, but asking themselves.
"Father, mother, do you still want to step your big brother now?" Liu Ruoxi didn't answer, but asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"We never thought about succeeding Dalang. Now, it's even more impossible. ”
"No matter what happens, even if you are forced to be helpless, don't you choose him?" Liu Ruoxi asked again.
"No matter what happens, he won't be considered." Second Master Liu said, his tone was very firm. If it is said that in the past, Second Master Liu was unwilling to choose Liu Yujiang as his heir because Liu Yujiang was not motivated enough. So now, in the eyes of Second Master Liu, Liu Yujiang is no longer an unsatisfactory candidate for heir, but a person who is not even qualified to be selected.
"The quality of talent and learning may be accommodating, but the character cannot be accommodating." Second Master Liu said.
"Dad, mother, you have to remember today's words." Liu Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, no matter what happens, even if it's for me, you can't succeed the eldest brother." If there really is such a day, father and mother, you must think about the allusion of drinking water to quench your thirst. ”
Liu Ruoxi said it so seriously, although the second master Liu and the second wife Liu didn't agree with each other, they both nodded. They believe that things will never develop to the extent that Liu Ruoxi said. Liu Ruoxi naturally knew what they were thinking. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu have not experienced what she has experienced, so it is understandable to think so. But as someone who has experienced those pains, she can't help but prepare for the worst.
Once again, it was determined that Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu would not choose Liu Yujiang as their heir, so Liu Ruoxi continued what she had just said.
"It was tough. However, the third uncle and the third aunt are back, and it will be much easier for us. Liu Ruoxi told Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu. (To be continued......)
