Chapter 176: Blue Jade
Bitong nodded, "I heard that the nephew of the third old lady killed someone, and now he is locked up in the official mansion." A few days ago, the eldest uncle and nephew of the third old lady of the Gu family, Master Gu personally visited the third old lady, presumably the third old lady was for this. ”
Liu Mengyan nodded thoughtfully, this Gu family is not a serious family, but it is just with the shadow of Master Gu in the early years, but by the generation of the third old lady, it has long been empty.
The current Master Gu is useless, and his son Gu Yugui is even more useless.
Over the years, she also knows that the Gu family does not care about the three old ladies asking for silver, although the three old ladies are not good people, but they are also benevolent and righteous to their mother's family.
This time, this Gu family has taken a life, and some of the Rongxi Hall are worried.
However, it is the maid who has been bought by this Rongxi Hall that is good, and the words are also passed word for word.
Thinking about it, it's okay to finally be able to live a few days of leisure, these three old ladies are busy with the affairs of the family, so they can't separate their thoughts to harm Qingde and their mother.
As soon as Bitong went out, Yunmo came in and said, "Girl, Miss Lanyu is here." ”
Liu Mengyan hurriedly got up to greet her, "Hurry up and invite Lan Yu in." "This blue jade was specially sent by Aunt Fuming to teach her some self-defense techniques, and it has been a while now.
Lan Yu came in, Liu Mengyan hurriedly asked Yun Mo to make a pot of tea, and then asked Lan Yu, "Is Cousin Fuming okay today?" ”
Lan Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the master was still worried that the girl would not be able to withstand the trials and tribulations of those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the palace." Originally, the master had long wanted to send me to see the fourth girl, but because the girl had just been crowned the county lord, and she was afraid of a lot of people, so she delayed it for a few days. But now it seems that the four girls are doing well. These are the original words of the master."
Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and was shocked, how did her cousin know about what happened in the palace? But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood, and probably knew where Tuoba Zeyan had gone that day. It turned out that she was looking for Princess Fuming, but she was really a little surprised, how could this Tuoba Zeyan run around like this for her own affairs?
"Mengyan is fine, although the queen left Mengyan behind, she didn't say much." She replied lightly.
"That's fine, so the master doesn't have to worry. Okay, it's time to practice, if you don't practice for a few days, I don't know if the four girls have regressed. Lan Yu stood up and said as she walked outside.
Liu Mengyan said while practicing the basic skills with Lan Yu: "Sister Lan Yu, I want to ask you for one thing. ”
Lan Yu said: "The girl is serious, just ask the fourth girl to talk about something." ”
"I want Qingde to learn kung fu from you. Even if you can't learn anything, at least you can strengthen your body and protect yourself in the future. Liu Mengyan said.
Hearing this, Lan Yu frowned and hesitated, "I still have to ask my master for this matter, after all, my task is only to teach the fourth girl." If the master agrees, I can agree. ”
Liu Mengyan knew that Lan Yu was the person next to Aunt Fuming, and she also had to listen to her master in everything, so she should ask for instructions, so she nodded and agreed.
At this moment, Liu Ruomei passed by Chu Xiuxuan with a few girls, but overheard an unusual sound coming from inside.
She sent a few maids away, leaving only her henchmen.
They quietly hid at the door of Chu Xiuxuan and peeked, but saw that Liu Mengyan was actually practicing with a person.
Liu Ruomei was secretly frightened, and then she thought of an idea, and a vicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she went to Rongxi Hall.
Come to take Rongxi Hall, the third old lady sat in the swivel chair with a depressed face, just now she asked her henchmen to sell the important family property she had accumulated over the years and send it to the Gu family.
At this moment, the third old lady was naturally a little bored in her heart!
"Mei'er greets her grandmother. Mei'er came this time to tell her grandmother something, and her grandmother should punish Liu Mengyan well. Liu Ruomei sat down next to the third old lady and said.
The third old lady was having a lump of gas in her stomach these days, and she didn't know where to go, and she thought of Liu Mengyan again, so she said, "Tell me, what's wrong with this Liu Mengyan?" ”
Liu Ruomei said jealously: "Grandmother, don't you know that this Liu Mengyan actually put outsiders into the mansion, and followed this outsider to learn what kind of dance knife and stick." You say that a girl's family, it can be like a boy, it's just unseemly! ”
She has always hated Liu Mengyan for being named the county lord by the emperor, but now she can't do anything with her, and she finally caught her handle, she has to make good use of it.
The third old lady was slightly surprised, "Is this true?" Did she really let outsiders in and learn martial arts with her? ”
"Nature is true, Mei'er saw it with her own eyes, how can it be fake?" Liu Ruomei said with an oath.
"So, grandmother tell Daddy about this, and let Daddy punish her."
The third old lady shook her head and said, "No, if it was in the past, your father would still punish her." But now, Liu Mengyan is now the county lord of the emperor's own title, and your father will not punish her so easily. ”
When Liu Ruomei heard this, she also felt that this was the case, her father, she didn't understand, "Then what should I do, I can't watch her be so arrogant and ignore her?" ”
She just couldn't swallow this breath, in the past few days, Liu Mengyan has enjoyed all the scenery in Liufu, originally these scenery belonged to her alone, but now it has been taken away by Liu Mengyan, she is very angry.
"Don't worry, she dares to let outsiders into the mansion, so if there is something missing in this mansion, then only Chu Xiuxuan is the most suspicious." The third old lady said, and there was a hint of sinister in that smile.
Liu Ruomei listened to the words of the third old lady, but she didn't know the meaning of her words, and asked suspiciously, "Grandmother, what does this mean?" ”
The third old lady smiled and said, "Mei'er doesn't have to worry. In the past few days, something has happened in the Gu family that has caused my grandmother a headache, is Mei'er willing to help me? She asked, holding Liu Ruomei's hand.
But at the mention of the Gu family, Liu Ruomei couldn't help but retract her hand.
She knew that something big had happened to the Gu family, and her grandmother even sold some of her belongings just to help the Gu family. Her mother also gave some money, but she still had to get married, and her mother's money had to be used as a dowry for herself, so she couldn't just help the Gu family and ignore herself.
"Grandmother, my mother and I can't do anything about this uncle's family." She lowered her head and said in embarrassment.
Seeing that her attitude was similar to that of Aunt Gu, the third old lady was secretly disappointed in her heart, but her face was still impassive.
"Mei'er misunderstood what her grandmother meant, but grandmother didn't mean that. You're about to get married, and your grandmother knows that. Let's not talk about this matter first, it's the right thing to solve Liu Mengyan's matter first. ”
When Liu Ruomei heard her grandmother say this, she didn't mean to embarrass her, so she was relieved, "Grandmother, what do you want to do?" She asked curiously.
"You might come and go in your father's Juxian Hall at will?" The third old lady took a sip of tea and asked.
Although Liu Ruomei was puzzled by what the third old lady meant by this, she also nodded.
The third old lady suddenly smiled, pulled her to her side, and then whispered a few words in her ear, but Liu Ruomei was shocked.
"Grandmother, this ......"
She couldn't help but retreat in her heart, this went to Juxian Hall to get her father's antiques, isn't this equivalent to stealing things?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, if my father knows, this is a terrible thing." ”
Although she was bold, she also knew that in this Liu Mansion, without her father's protection, she and her mother would be nothing.
The third old lady said, "Don't worry, your father won't know that you took it." ”
She knew in her heart that Liu Sanye was not her biological son, so she naturally didn't want to take care of the Gu family's affairs.
In this matter, she tried a lot of ways, but to no avail, and sold all her belongings, which was still not enough for the Gu family.
Liu Sanye likes to collect antiques on weekdays, and there are many precious things in her Juxian Hall.
If you can take a few pieces out and sell them, you can solve the urgent need.
What did Grandmother say about that? Daddy likes these antiques the most on weekdays, if you lose a few pieces, Daddy must not go crazy? Liu Ruomei said.
She knew that her father had always liked these antiques like her life, and if she learned that she had stolen them, wouldn't it cost her own life?
The third old lady snorted coldly, "There are outsiders breaking into this Liu Mansion, and it is a kung fu person, if there is something missing in this mansion, you say, who is the most suspicious person?" ”
"Chu Xiuxuan?" Liu Ruomei couldn't help but blurt out her debut.
The third old lady smiled and nodded, "That's right, if this Liufu loses something, can she get away with this Liu Mengyan?" In this way, a county lord who was personally crowned by the emperor actually connived at outsiders to steal his father's belongings, and this reputation cannot be washed away. Your father won't punish her? ”
Although Liu Ruomei agreed to the request of the third old lady, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, this matter was not trivial.
She left Rongxi Hall and went directly to Begonia Garden.
Aunt Gu was taking care of the things to be prepared for Liu Ruomei's marriage, and when she saw Liu Ruomei's sad look, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" A look of displeasure. ”
Liu Ruomei stepped forward, sent the maids in the house out, and then closed the doors and windows.
Seeing her so mysterious, Aunt Gu said puzzledly, "What's wrong?" But what happened? ”
Liu Ruomei stepped forward and took Aunt Gu's hand and told Aunt Gu everything that the third old lady of Rongxi Hall said and herself.
When Aunt Gu heard this, she thought about it: "This is a good thing!" ”
