Liu Ke was opening Rong Shuo's letter to her, and heard outside that Liu Qing had returned. He put the letter in his hand on the table.

Liu Qing was cold, there were freshly melted snow drops hanging on her hair, her cheeks were red from the cold, her eyes swept silently in the room, and she only stopped on the table for a while, then lowered her head and said: "Miss, the third lady ordered someone to punish Mama Zhang for three months, and Mama Li was fined for half a year, and she was beaten with twenty boards." ”

Without waiting for Liu Ke to ask, she slowly told Liu Qing what happened in the Garden of Compassion.

Liu Ke quietly listened to Liu Qing's description, nodding slightly from time to time.

The slave and maid only told the old lady and the third lady what happened today, and did not exaggerate or wronged them. When the old lady heard this, she was very angry, so she ordered the third lady to deal with it.

At the beginning, the third lady only said that she wanted to send a monthly case, and the old lady wanted to beat Mama Li for 20 boards. The third lady and Mama Qin both came forward to plead, but the old lady did not let go. ”

This result surprised Liu Ke a little.

Although she guessed that the old lady would punish Mama Li and Mama Zhang with the love of the past, she didn't expect it to be so severe.

Liu Ke thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, the old lady's move killed two birds with one stone,

It not only gave himself a reassurance, but also gave a clear answer to the suspicious people behind him.

Since the old lady proposed not to let the old lady see Liu Ke, there have been various speculations in the whole house.

The words spoken by Yan Jie are varied.

Some said that the old lady wanted to marry Liu Ke to her maiden nephew, but Liu Ke didn't know how to lift, so the old lady was resentful of Liu Ke.

Some said, some said that Liu Ke had a big heart, refused to accept the old lady's control, and was rejected by the old lady.

Some people guessed that the old lady wanted to deal with Liu Ke, but the old lady knew about it, so she made this decision.

Some people even guessed the contradiction between the old lady and Liu Ke on Aunt Jiang. said that the old lady wanted to straighten Aunt Jiang right, and Liu Ke was a hindrance from it, so she was rejected by the old lady.

It is also said that the old lady doesn't like Liu Ke anymore. So thinking about the law, he deliberately avoided Liu Ke.

It's just that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who are a little older at home have pulled their thoughts to what happened ten years ago.

and all the old things are being brought up again in secret.

…………

…………

In short, there is everything to say, which can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

This incident has involved the affairs of the Liu family for eight lifetimes.

In addition, after Mama Li and Mama Zhang went to Xiuzhuyuan in Liuke, they were very restless, and they just made a fuss about moving the room, and they made a fuss like today, and there are more and more suspicious people at home.

It also became more and more like the old lady really had something to do with Liu Ke.

At this time, the Han family was in the Garden of Compassion and disposed of Mama Li and Mama Zhang. And the treatment of Mama Li is not ruthless.

A young man who was beaten for twenty boards and still has to recuperate for a month or two, then Mama Li will not be able to get out of bed for at least half a year this time, which makes the people who originally guessed that their ancestors and grandchildren are not in harmony suspicious.

Even Han was a little skeptical that this was the old lady's original intention.

Did Liu Ke do something that made the old lady have to do this?

But after some inquiry, I didn't find anything. This made Han even more suspicious of his judgment.

Could it be that the old lady really didn't want to take Liu Ke or what?

Han finally shook her head, with her understanding of the old lady, the old lady would not put her feelings first.

Thinking about this, Han was relieved.

This matter caused a lot of waves in Liufu, although the Han family disposed of Mama Li in front of the old lady and also fined the two of them the moon silver, but the matter somehow reached the ears of the old lady.

The old lady was furious. scolded the two mothers-in-law bastards, and shouted that the old lady spoiled the lowly people, and they all relied on her momentum to act boldly and recklessly.

The old lady was speechless when she heard this.

It was Mama Qin who slowly explained today's matter to the old lady clearly, and said that the old lady was also very angry, and ordered the third lady to deal with Mama Li and Mama Zhang.

He also said that he should not have been punished so severely in a similar situation. Just because they offended the eldest lady, they had to be punished very severely.

After listening to Mama Qin's words, the old lady didn't make a fuss without showing his teeth and claws, and smiled at the old lady: "It's about the same, and the people under your hands can't be too shapeless." ”

The old lady glanced at Liu Jiafu and said, "Who is too shapeless, I think you are too shapeless." Do you look at how you are jumping and jumping, like a parent? ”

At this time, Liu Jiafu was in a good mood, sat opposite Wang's with a smile on his face, and said to her: "Do you also think Ke'er is good?" ”

"She was raised by me, so she is naturally different." Wang raised his face with a smug look.

Liu Jiafu smiled: "That's good." ”

I only heard Wang say again: "It's just that the better she is, the more unfavorable it is to my Liu family." ”

"What do you mean by that? You just plan to hold on to this matter, you didn't say that before, didn't you promise to find a good in-law for Ke'er, and then marry her? ”

After listening to Wang's words, Liu Jiafu became anxious again, stood up and walked to Wang's side, bent down to her face and asked.

"And then?" The old lady Wang raised her face slightly upwards and said coldly to Liu Jiafu.

With just this sentence, Liu Jiafu was deflated, shook his hand and said, "Anyway, I can't let you hurt Ke'er." ”

With that, he walked out of the room quickly.

"A woman's kindness." The old lady Wang looked at Liu Jiafu's back and said disdainfully.

Mama Qin couldn't help but smile and said: "Old lady, don't be angry with the old lady, in fact, the old lady has already accepted this matter in her heart, but she can't bear it in her mouth and heart." ”

The old lady Wang sighed and nodded: "You are right, I still can't bear it, let alone him, let alone him, let him go." ”

"Mama Li can't serve in front of the eldest lady now, is she going to change someone." Mama Qin tried to ask.

The old lady didn't speak for a long time, and said, "Let's see the situation first." ”

When Mama Qin heard this, she stopped talking.

can only think of other ways, and must not let Li Ying have any chance to turn over.

Thinking of this, Mama Qin almost bit off her back molars.

At this time, Mama Li was placed in a small courtyard outside the backyard of the Liu family, where most of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who worked in the Liu family lived.

Liu Ke temporarily lost a pair of eyes in front of her, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

It's just that he can't see Liu Qing clearly.

She deliberately threw the letter Rong Shuo gave her on the table casually, and went to Liu Wan's Xiulan Courtyard to try her.

Until Liu Ke came back in the evening. The letter remained untouched.

Yuye saw Liu Ke staring at the letter on the table, and said with some apprehension: "The importance of this letter is not important, it is all the negligence of the slave maid, and she forgot to put it away." ”

Liu Ke listened to this. said: "It's none of your business, I deliberately put it here." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the letter on the table and said, "Bring the candlestick to me." ”

Yuye listened, and hurriedly went to get the candlestick and put it in front of Liu Ke.

Liu Ke took the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it in the flickering candlelight.

Yuye said in surprise and nervousness: "Miss, is there a mistake, why is there not a word, the letter in it has been stolen." The slave and maid then ordered someone to investigate. ”

"No, this is the original letter." Liu Ke gently placed the white paper in the candlelight. He watched quietly with his chin in his hands.

This morning, when she first opened the letter, she understood what Rong Shuo meant.

There's an allusion here-

A long time ago, there was a scholar who was in a foreign land and couldn't return to his hometown for a while. He sent a letter home to his beloved wife.

When the wife opened it, she saw that there was only a snow-white plain note in the book, and there was not a single word.

However, her wife understood her husband's meaning at a glance, and took a pen and wrote a poem on a plain note:

"Open and seal in front of the blue screen,

The ruler paper is completely empty from the beginning.

It should be Xianlang who has no grudge,

Remembering people is all in words. ”

Rong Shuo gave her such a letter, and the intention can be imagined.

It's just that. Can he really be the hero of the story?

When Liu Ke thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

She experienced the failed marriage with Qi Siren in her previous life, and in this life she was living with the intention of being self-reliant and not marrying.

But now the temptation in front of her is too great—

Rong - Shuo!

In the previous life, it was almost the dream object of every Huaichun woman in Dayan.

He was modest, courteous, gentle, and graceful...... It is not an exaggeration to put almost all beautiful words on his body, almost flawless like jade!

In this life, she has seen Rong Shuo three or four times. But every time they met, Rong Shuo left her such a beautiful image, and because there were too few times, this beauty was particularly prominent. Let her be reluctant to give up.

Combined with the image imagined by Rong Shuo in Liu Ke's heart in her previous life, it is slowly outlined into her new expectations in this life.

At this moment, a gust of wind swept by, and the paper on the table fell to the ground lightly, Liu Ke reached out to take it, but he didn't want his hand to fall into the air.

The blank piece of paper fell in the brazier, on the charcoal that burned red and sparked.

Liu Ke saw that the moment it touched the charcoal, it suddenly turned black and yellow, and then a small cluster of flames was raised, and then it turned into ashes and dissolved in the reddish charcoal, and disappeared.

Tamaba walked in.

Liu Ke was surprised, she didn't know when Yuye went out.

Seeing Yuye carrying a box with narrow eyes, Liu Ke sorted out his feelings and asked, "When did you go out?" On this snowy day, let the elderly daughter-in-law in the kitchen bring the food over, why do you brave the snow to carry it. ”

Yuye said with a smile: "Miss, this is not made in the kitchen, it was sent by the fifth young master in the East Mansion, and it is not filled with food." ”

"Liu Kun?" Liu Ke listened to Yuye's words and couldn't help laughing, "Open it up and see what's inside." ”
