Ning Er thought about what the housekeeper Caifu said, so she lay on the table and gradually fell asleep. The next morning, when she heard some noise outside, Ning'er woke up.

"Miss, go and take a look, there's a bunch of people outside." The wet nurse's daughter Yiyi hurriedly ran into Ning'er's room, and even her speech seemed a little flustered.

Seeing that Yiyi was so anxious, Ning'er had a premonition that something had happened again. Poor Liufu does not have a man who can take charge of things, there are only two young ladies in the family, and now something has happened, the housekeeper is injured in bed, the second lady faints and is weak, the second lady Lu'er is still young, and now only Ning'er can call the shots.

Although Ning Er was scared, she didn't know what the situation was outside and how to deal with it, but at this time, she had to bite the bullet, on the surface, Ning Er walked out in a hurry, but in fact, Ning Er's hands were clenched tightly in her sleeves in fear.

Ning Er followed Yiyi to the courtyard just now, and at a glance, she saw a familiar person-Fang Yuanwai. Fang Yuanwai stood in the courtyard of Liufu with a bunch of family members, all of them with sticks in their hands, looking menacing, not easy to mess with at all.

"I said why is it so noisy in the yard, it turns out that the house staff came to visit, since it is a visit, then please move to the hall outside." Although Ning Er didn't know the intentions of Fang Yuan, for the sake of politeness, she still invited Fang Yuan to the hall where she would meet guests.

"Yiyi, serve tea to the Fang staff, the guests are here, how can you be lazy, this is not our Liu family's hospitality." Ning Er asked Yiyi to serve tea to Fang Yuan, and also took Fang Yuan to the hall where the guests were entertained, which already showed the politeness of the Liu family. Although Ning Er knew that it was definitely not a good thing for Fang Yuan to come outside, but now Ning Er had no choice but to greet him with a smile for the sake of the Liu family's face.

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, our Liu family has already treated him with courtesy, if Fang Yuanwai still brings his family to make trouble, it will be Fang Yuanwai's fault if it is passed out. Although Ning Er has never dealt with such a thing, she still knows the basic etiquette, and knows that if the matter spreads, everyone looks at the Liu family to talk about etiquette, and Fang Yuan has been rude and rude, even if it goes to the yamen, the Liu family will definitely not be convicted.

"Why didn't you send someone to inform you in advance when you came to visit, but it was really unfortunate that you came here today. The second lady occasionally felt cold and was sick in bed, and it was really inconvenient to receive guests, so I had to let me, the eldest lady of Liufu, come to receive you, and forgive me for not taking care of you. Ning Er was afraid that her father's accident would be known to Fang Yuan, so she had to find an excuse to cover it up.

When Fang Yuanwai heard Ning Er say this, he didn't react, but kept taking care of himself, playing with his crutches, ignoring Ning Er, Ning Er saw that Fang Yuanwai didn't care about herself, so she had to go straight to the point and ask Fang Yuanwai's intention to visit.

"Outside Fang, you see that it is indeed not polite for Liufu to entertain guests today, if there is anything you might as well talk about it another day, or will you tell me about your grievances and grievances, and I will relay it to the second lady?" Ning Er felt that Fang Yuanwai would definitely not talk to a junior like herself, so she thought of using this method to let Fang Yuanwai leave first.

"When is it the turn of the Liu family to be in charge, but it doesn't matter, I just want to ask when Master Liu will come back from business, after all, my marriage with the eldest lady is scheduled for next month, and the eldest lady of Liufu will get married, and Master Liu should also rush back to drink a glass of wine." Miss Liu, do you think that's the reason? ”

Fang Yuanwai's words seemed to have something in his words, and one or two sentences were ostensibly asking about his marriage with him, but he secretly asked when his father would come back. Originally, the daughter was supposed to be present when she got married to her father, but after her father's accident, Fang Yuan brought so many family members to menacing, just to ask about the marriage, this kind of behavior inevitably made Ning Er a little suspicious.

"Outside of Fang Yuan, since ancient times, my parents have been in charge of marriage matters, I think my marriage should wait for my father to come back and then discuss, besides, I am still young, and I want to honor my parents at home for two more years." Ning Er didn't know what Fang Yuan's intention was to mention the marriage, but now the situation is special, her father doesn't know life and death, and the second lady is sick in bed, so she has to find a reason to prevaricate first.

"Miss Liu, I don't think even if Master Liu is here, he won't object to this family business, go, show my dowry to Miss Liu." After Fang Yuanwai finished speaking, he took out a small box from his arms, and a family member took the box and handed it to Ning Er.

"Miss Liu might as well open it and take a look, it's definitely a good dowry here, I promise you won't refuse."

Ning Er looked at the small box handed over by the family, and suddenly worried in her heart, when did the dowry only need to be packed in a small box, such a small box is not as big as the palm of her own hand, what can be contained in it? Ning Er's heart tightened, as soon as her father had an accident, Fang Yuanwai brought so many family members to visit, could it be that her father's accident would not have been done by Fang Yuanwai.

Ning Er thought a lot in her heart, but in the face of the box handed over by the family, Ning Er had no choice but to think about taking the box and opening it to see it, and then think of another way.

Ning Er took the box, the box was quite light in her hand, it didn't look like a dowry at all, Ning Er once again affirmed her thoughts, and felt that the things contained here must be unusual.

Ning Er opened the box with apprehension, and there was a jade wrench in the box, and a note was placed under the jade wrench. Ning Er placed the box on the table and took out the jade wrench from the box.

Ning Er was a little shocked when she saw this jade wrench for the first time, this jade wrench was the one her father was wearing, Ning Er couldn't believe it, and went to look at the inside of the jade wrench, when she was a child, Lu'er naughtily broke her father's jade wrench, but the crack was on the inside of the jade wrench, Ning Er wanted to find a jade wrench with the same as her father, but if there were even cracks inside, then this matter would not be simple at all.

Ning Er put the jade wrench in the palm of her hand and looked carefully at the inside of the jade wrench, but she didn't expect to really see the crack, and Ning Er was a little panicked. Fang Yuanwai came with his father's jade wrench, does it mean that his father is in his hands.

Ning Er held the jade wrench finger in her palm, and took out the note from the box with her right hand, preparing to open the note to see what Fang Yuan had written.

"Yes, don't underestimate this note, I dare to say that the dowry I prepared for Miss Liu, Miss Liu will not change her daughter, this dowry is very valuable." Fang also knocked the ground twice with his cane as he spoke, and then touched his beard.

When Ning Er heard Fang Yuanwai say this, she seemed to be more sure of something in her heart. Maybe Ning Er opened this note, and the question in Ning Er's heart and the jade wrench that just appeared, all these things can be explained. Ning Er didn't hesitate any longer, and opened the note at once, only a few words were written on it, but it was these words that made Ning Er no longer pretend to be calm, even if she was sitting on the chair, Ning Er's body still shook a few times.

"The dowry is your father", indeed, this dowry is very valuable, so valuable that even thousands of dollars are difficult to exchange. Ning Er seemed to have an answer to the questions in her heart when she saw these words, but Ning Er still couldn't figure out what the Liu family had that was worth getting through murder and kidnapping, but what was certain was that her father must be in Fang Yuanwai's hands.

"How about it, Miss Liu, after reading the dowry, do you think you are still satisfied with the dowry, can our marriage be held as scheduled?" Fang Yuanwai saw that Ning Er was a little unstable, and showed a smug expression, as if everything was in his expectation.

"Of course you can, the dowry is very valuable, I hope that the party must protect it, and I hope to see this precious dowry on the day of the wedding." Ning Er clutched the note tightly in her hand, and her tone of voice became a little vicious.

"Of course, then please ask Miss Liu to get ready, and on the sixth day of the next month, I will marry you." Seeing that Ning Er agreed to the marriage as scheduled, Fang Yuan didn't want to stay for a moment, so he immediately got up and left with his family.

Fang Yuanwai left, and the house was quiet again, but Ning Er's whole person sat on the chair like a fool and didn't move. Yiyi was a little scared when she looked at Ning Er like this, shaking Ning Er with her hands, and shouting Ning Er's name while shaking Ning Er's body, "Miss Ning Er, Miss Ning Er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Er took the note in her hand and the jade wrench in her palm to Yiyi, Yiyi got the jade wrench and was surprised, "Isn't this the master's wrench?" Yiyi immediately unfolded the note again, and after seeing the words on it, she let out a scream "Ah, this".

"Miss Ning'er, the master is in the hands of Fang Yuan, and he uses the master as a dowry, which is obviously forcing you to agree to this marriage." Seeing the note, Yiyi understood why Miss Ning'er was a little unstable in the chair, and why the marriage that the second lady did not agree to was now agreed to so neatly in front of Fang Yuanwai.

"Yiyi, now, my father is in his hands, and we can only do this, but I don't know what he kidnapped my father for, so we can only take one step at a time." Even if Ning Er was reluctant in her heart, but in the face of her father's kidnapping, Ning Er had no choice, she had lost her mother, and her father must not have anything happen again.

"Yiyi, don't tell anyone else about this matter first, now that something has happened to my father, the second lady can't be hit again, and the Liu family must not have another accident."

Ning'er staggered to her feet, stood up and stayed in place for a few seconds, and walked out with a firm step. Seeing Ning'er like this, Yiyi was a little worried, and planned to follow Ning'er to accompany Ning'er, but before Yiyi took a few steps, she heard Ning'er's words, "Yiyi, you don't have to follow me, I want to go out for a walk by myself." ”

When Yiyi heard Ning Er say this, she had no choice but to stay where she was and watch Ning Er walk out of Liufu alone.
