Chapter 235 - Bright and Secret

Today is Lord Liu's birthday, and according to general logic, Mrs. Liu must appear in front of people, and she must be the core figure. But in the current situation of Mrs. Liu, the latter is absolutely impossible. As for the former, Mrs. Liu is indispensable, but Mrs. Liu San said it in her ear several times, and Mrs. Liu relied on Mrs. Liu's. Mrs. Liu was instructed to stay in the house today and not to come out to entertain guests, and in front of the visitors, she only said that Mrs. Liu was unwell.

Now, Mrs. Liu suddenly violated Mrs. Liu's arrangement, and Mrs. Liu and the others couldn't help but be surprised.

However, since Mrs. Liu came, she could not be driven away immediately. Therefore, although Mrs. Liu and the others were surprised and unhappy in their hearts, they quickly covered up the past.

“…… I felt better, so I came over to say hello to the old lady, the princess and the eldest princess. Mrs. Liu came up to salute with a smile.

"You've been in poor health lately, just rest in the house, and no one will blame you." Mrs. Liu said.

"Is there anything else that the eldest lady is worried about? Even if we don't know how to do things, there is always an old lady who mentions it. Mrs. Liu San said, glaring coldly at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Liu San at this time, and still laughed with her. Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Liu's appearance, and then looked at Liu Ruoyuan, she understood a little in her heart, and while she glanced at Mrs. Liu, she asked Mrs. Liu to take Liu Ruoyuan to sit down and talk.

Mrs. Liu San understood what Mrs. Liu meant, so she stopped embarrassing Mrs. Liu.

Although the things that happened in Liu's room were hidden, they were also in Beijing, and several of you here had heard some news. When Mrs. Liu came, both the Su family and the eldest princess couldn't help but look her up and down carefully.

Mrs. Liu was obviously carefully dressed, and the fat powder on her face covered her dark yellow complexion a lot, but people with discerning eyes could still see her haggardness.

“…… It is ...... to have a good life and raise it," Su said.

"It looks like I've lost a little weight...... "The eldest princess couldn't stop looking at Mrs. Liu. The look was thoughtful.

Mrs. Liu saw that everyone was paying attention to her, so she hurriedly took Liu Ruoyuan to her side.

“…… I want to apologize to the eldest princess...... "Mrs. Liu turned the topic to the last time Liu Ruoyuan failed to attend the appointment at the Hou Mansion for some reason, so that everyone's attention turned away from her and fell on Liu Ruoyuan.

Liu Ruoxi watched from the side, and she had already understood. Mrs. Liu did not hesitate to disobey Mrs. Liu's wishes, or for Liu Ruoyuan. And Mrs. Liu will not blame Mrs. Liu too much for this, after all, in the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Liu still hopes that Liu Ruoyuan can marry the Marquis of Zhending. In Mrs. Liu's opinion, if this family business is done. It is naturally an excellent destination for Liu Ruoyuan, and it is also very good for the Liu family.

Su Qingnuan was by Su's side, and she was about to get up after listening to Su's words, but when she saw Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan coming, her heart moved, and she sat next to Su and didn't move. Liu Ruoxi listened to the words of the second wife Liu, took Liu Ruoshan with her, and walked over to call Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan saw Liu Ruoxi coming to call her, and she didn't want to leave. But I had to get up. The three of them came out of Mrs. Liu's house surrounded by all the girls and mothers-in-law.

“…… The Seven Girls seldom come, or else, visit our garden. I don't dare to compare with the palace. "The weather is very good today, and Liu Ruoshan has been sitting in the house for a long time. I felt very depressed, and when I came out, I thought about shopping.

"I just looked at it very elegant," Su Qingnuan said with a smile. While looking at Liu Ruoxi's face, "Third sister...... Is the third sister-in-law tired......"

Liu Ruoshan didn't want to take Su Qingnuan to go shopping, but since Liu Ruoshan said it. Su Qingnuan reacted like this again, and Liu Ruoxi smiled instead.

"My fourth sister and I wanted to go together, but I was afraid that the seventh girl would be tired or look down on our small garden." Liu Ruoxi seemed to be joking.

"The third sister-in-law made fun of me again." Su Qingnuan said busily, while quickly glancing at Liu Ruoxi's face, while muttering secretly in her heart. Liu Ruoxi's attitude towards her doesn't seem to be so friendly. However, whenever she thought like this, Liu Ruoxi's words and deeds often made her feel unsure.

If this was not enough to make Su Qingnuan sleepy, but today's Su family's attitude towards Liu Ruoxi made Su Qingnuan vigilant. Since the last time she said those words in front of Su Shi, Su Shi saw that her perception of Liu Ruoxi had dropped to the lowest. When I arrived at the Liu family today, it could be seen that the Su family was indifferent to Liu Ruoxi at the beginning.

Su's coldness, I believe Liu Ruoxi can also see it. But Liu Ruoxi not only did not panic, but also did not deliberately try to please the Su family. Not only that, Liu Ruoxi also defended Mrs. Liu in front of the Su family, at that time, Liu Ruoxi almost forced the Su family to admit that the second Mrs. Liu was the best mother in the world.

Liu Ruoxi was so bold, there was no one in her eyes, and the Su family should have been angry. But to Su Qingnuan's surprise, Su Shi not only did not get angry, but his attitude towards Liu Ruoxi seemed to have warmed up a lot after that.

Su Shi paid more attention to Liu Ruoxi, and seemed to have a little more affection for Liu Ruoxi, and a little more curious.

That's not a good sign. specially asked to follow the Su family to Liu's house, Su Qingnuan may not have the intention of demonstrating in her heart, she just wants to put another thorn in Liu Ruoxi's heart, which makes Liu Ruoxi feel uneasy, but she is helpless. The Su family values and favors her, I believe that the Liu family, including Liu Ruoxi, has seen it, she is secretly proud, but Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San are rushing to kiss her. But Liu Ruoxi didn't care about her demonstration, and went her own way in front of the Su family, but unexpectedly won the favor of the Su family.

It's not going to go on like this. Su Qingnuan thought secretly in her heart. Now, although she can't accompany the Su family, she is with Liu Ruoxi and is in the Liu family, if she can take this opportunity to learn more about Liu Ruoxi, it will also be very beneficial to her.

Su Qingnuan made up her mind, and followed Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan to the back garden of Liufu.

The garden of the Liu family is small compared to the garden of the Yongjing Palace. However, although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, the Liufu Garden is quite well arranged. Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan walked all the way with Su Qingnuan, and Su Qingnuan let out a sound of admiration from time to time.

Just walking on the stone bridge in the lotus pond, Su Qingnuan deliberately took two more looks under the bridge.

“…… I heard that at the beginning of the year, the third sister-in-law fell and was seriously injured, is it on this bridge? Su Qingnuan asked suddenly.

Liu Ruoxi looked at Su Qingnuan, and her heart also moved slightly. It seems that Su Qingnuan has asked a lot about her behind her back, such a thing has been a long time, and the outside doesn't know the bottom of the matter, all of which Su Qingnuan knows.

"The legend of the people is very powerful, but I accidentally tripped up, but it frightened the old lady and the ladies." Liu Ruoxi said lightly, obviously not wanting to talk deeply about this matter.

Su Qingnuan was originally a temptation, but seeing that Liu Ruoxi's attitude was not leaky, it was not easy to ask again. At this time, a little girl suddenly ran from the bridge. The little girl panicked, stopped in front of Liu Ruoxi, and saluted Liu Ruoxi while panting.

"Third girl, please go and have a look, our girl ......" The little girl pointed to the plum forest at the head of the bridge and said to Liu Ruoxi.

Liu Ruoxi looked in the direction of the little girl's finger, there was a small courtyard in the plum forest, and there were several clean and small houses in the yard, but it was where the people in Liufu cooked tea and enjoyed plums in winter.

"You girl, who are you following and what happened?" Liu Ruoxi saw that the little girl was panicked, and her words were not very clear, so she frowned and asked. She and Liu Ruoshan are here, and Liu Ruoyuan is in Mrs. Liu's house, in addition to them, only Liu Ruojuan is the girl in the Liu Mansion, and of course there is also Liu Ruochan.

"The maid is serving the second girl, please come over quickly, our girl, our girl is dying......," the little girl said, as if she was about to cry in a hurry, and then turned around to leave, and urged Liu Ruoxi to follow quickly.

"What happened to the second sister?" Su Qingnuan hurriedly said, "I'll accompany the third sister-in-law to take a look." ”

Liu Ruoshan next to her was not doing much, but Su Qingnuan was very enthusiastic, and encouraged Liu Ruoshan to hurry over and take a look.

Liu Ruoxi subconsciously followed the little girl to the bridge and walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped again, ignoring Su Qingnuan urging her beside her, only stopped the little girl.

"I see that you are very raw, you really serve the second sister?" Liu Ruoxi stared at the little girl's face.

The little girl's eyes couldn't help blinking under Liu Ruoxi's forced gaze. Liu Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, if she was not mistaken, a trace of panic flashed in this little girl's eyes, but this panic was very different from her panicked demeanor.

"Bold slaves, but taking advantage of the eldest master's birthday, everyone is busy making trouble!" Liu Ruoxi sneered, and at the same time ordered the people who followed the waiter, "Tie her up, lock her up in the firewood room first, send someone to watch it, and wait for the third wife to be free, and hand it over to the third wife for interrogation and disposal." ”

When the followers heard this, they immediately stepped forward and held the little girl down. The little girl's face was already frightened, and she was still shouting that she was wronged. Liu Ruoxi glanced at Mama Chang who was following her, Mama Chang stepped forward and blocked the little girl's mouth with a handkerchief, and let the little girl drag her down.

Liu Ruoxi handled it neatly, and before Liu Ruoshan and Su Qingnuan could react, the little girl was dragged away.

"Third sister...... Liu Ruoshan was puzzled, and wanted to ask Liu Ruoxian, but when she turned her head and saw Su Qingnuan, she refused to ask anything.

"Third sister-in-law, this ...... What's going on? The second girl is there......" Su Qingnuan looked at the plum forest with a look of anxiety and concern. (To be continued......)
