Chapter 228: A dilemma
"People can't be resurrected after death, and their ghosts can't rest in peace, so my father must rather be buried in the earth." Liu Sanye said.
Second Master Liu glared at him angrily, turned to the old lady on the couch and said, "Mother, if this matter is related to the Heavenly Family, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, our Changsheng Marquis Mansion will fall into a place of no return. ”
"Doomed? Second brother, you don't have to be alarmist here. Liu Sanye said disapprerovingly, "If you report to the official according to what you say, this is really related to the Heavenly Family, but it is a great opportunity to climb to the Heavenly Family!" Moreover, the girls in our family are all delayed because of the two of them! ”
Second Master Liu narrowed his eyes and said with a strained face: "Third brother, use your brain to think about it, is the entire Liu Mansion important, or is your two girls important?" ”
"The second brother doesn't have to push everything on our third room." Liu Sanye sneered: "Besides, this matter is not just for the two daughters of the third room. After Mei'er and Yan'er got married out of the mansion as scheduled, they were beneficial to Liufu and harmless. One is the concubine of the six princes, and the other is the concubine of the crown prince, and half of the glory of our Changsheng Marquis Mansion will continue on them in the future. ”
"Third Brother ......"
"That's enough."
The old lady snorted lightly, sat up from the soft collapse, and said with a straight face: "Do you two want my wife to die before you are willing?" Now that the situation is unknown, you might as well quarrel first! If something really happens in the future, which of you can Liufu count on! ”
When he boarded, Rongdetang calmed down.
Second Master Liu and Third Master Liu were embarrassed to hang their heads and say nothing.
The old lady sighed, they all came out of her belly, how could she not understand that they each had an abacus, so she only pretended not to know and asked, "What is the current situation in the DPRK and China?" ”
Second Master Liu knew that the old lady was asking him, and said in a slight mutter: "The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are each expanding their own power, and the emperor still supports the crown prince. ”
The old lady stared at the two of them with complicated eyes, "So it seems that your father's death will be related to whom?" The glass girl is married to the six princes, the six princes support the prince, and the rose girl wants to enter the prince's mansion. Kill your father, and they won't be able to marry for three years. And I have one more thing to tell you. ”
The old lady of the long house then told them in detail about the death of the old lady Jiang.
It wasn't until this moment that Liu Sanye realized how much was involved in this matter, and looked at Mrs. Liu who was sitting in shock, and seemed to be still incredulous: "So the reason why Dad suddenly went west is to prevent Sister Mei from marrying!" ”
When the old lady saw that Liu Sanye didn't mention the glass girl, she inevitably felt a little indescribable in her heart. He thought that the other party's target was the concubine, and he couldn't help but sigh, and only the second child could afford it.
Compared with the second, the third is a little worse after all.
And the glass girl is afraid that she has long thought that this matter is inseparable from the battle of the heavenly family, but unfortunately, this woman did not give birth to a male body.
The old lady suppressed the loss in her heart, opened her mouth and continued: "The girl said that the affairs of the Jiang family are related to the third prince, and the affairs of the Fu family are also to prevent the Fu family from becoming the help of the prince, so why was your father killed?" If it weren't for that, I really can't think of a reason. ”
"Mother, you have thought so much, this time it is clear that it is to fight the power of the prince." Second Master Liu can sit in his current position, and naturally his mind is also quite meticulous.
As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and after a pause in the middle of the conversation, Second Master Liu's face became solemn, "My son even suspects that the person behind this matter is the same person who made a move against the Fu family in the first place!" ”
"Second brother, what you say is reasonable!"
In fact, not long after Liu Mengyan left, the old lady immediately thought of the Fu family. So the more I think about it, the more I fear.
"Since ancient times, the result of the battle between the heavenly families has been fratricide, and since the three princes have coveted the crown prince, they must have taken action behind the scenes. I'm afraid that now, the crown prince is also being forced by their respective forces in the court. The old lady said.
"Mother, what you said is very true." Second Master Liu nodded and said.
The Rongde Hall was so quiet for a while that I could only hear the parrot raised by the old lady hanging in front of the window, chirping. Old Mrs. Liu was worried about the entire Liu Mansion, and Second Master Liu was thinking about how to continue to climb up the official road in the future.
Compared with the heavy thoughts of the two, Liu Sanye had no idea at all.
Originally, in Liufu, his biggest honor guard was his two daughters who could marry into the heavenly family in the future. Naturally, the most promising of them is his Mei'er, after marrying into the crown prince, if he can give birth to a prince, his bloodline will organically chase the supreme position in the world.
At that time, what a scenery it is for one person to be above ten thousand!
But now everything will become empty, and Liu Sanye is so panicked that he can't sit still.
reported to the official, his daughter is bound to no longer be able to marry the heavenly family. If he doesn't report to the official, the third child doesn't agree, and the person who assassinates him behind him doesn't agree, but I'm afraid that there will be a backhand.
Whether to report or not, he has no first opportunity.
Thinking of passing by the monstrous power, Liu Sanye looked at Liu Erye without giving up, "Second brother, are we just sitting back and waiting to die?" ”
"What can you do?" Second Master Liu glanced at the other party contemptuously: "Now the situation between the DPRK and China is delicate, and if you take one wrong step, that is the difference between heaven and earth." ”
The old lady sighed, took a few steps forward, and took the hand of Second Master Liu, as if helpless, but also seemed to give high hopes and instructed: "Second child, this matter depends on you, and the honor and disgrace of Liufu are also tied to you alone." ”
Liu Sanye, who was standing on the side, suddenly had a hot face when he heard this, once upon a time, he had heard the same words from the old lady's mouth. Hearing it at this time, he only felt that half of his face was invisibly beaten and painful, but he couldn't refute it.
If it was a side matter, Second Master Liu naturally didn't want to take it on him, but this matter was very important.
Second Master Liu held the old lady's hand and nodded in response: "Mother, don't worry, your son will not put Liufu in danger." ”
"Okay, what do you want about the old lady, and then my mother will do what you want." Afraid that the second brother would have scruples, Mrs. Liu warned her younger son in person: "Third brother, this matter is all up to your second brother, you have no objection, right?" ”
"Nope."
No matter how unwilling he is, Liu Sanye also knows that this matter is not child's play.
It is a pity to miss the monstrous power and wealth, but there is a way to leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. His life is not guaranteed, and his painstaking management so far is really a complete emptiness.
"That's good, since you have personally responded in front of your mother, if you ask me to find out the slightest mistake afterwards, don't blame your mother for personally asking for the ancestral family law."
"My son doesn't dare." Liu Sanye lowered his head to hide the gloom in his eyes, and his voice sounded the same as usual: "The second brother bears the honor and disgrace of the entire Hou Mansion, as his younger brother, the son will naturally not pull his brother's hind legs." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, turned to Second Master Liu and said, "Second child, you can go on." ”
Although the lesser of two evils is chosen, if he really wants to give up the opportunity to make the Liu family jump into the dragon gate, Liu Erye is indeed a little reluctant for a while. After thinking for a moment, Second Master Liu frowned and said to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, it is better to put the old lady's body in the basement of Liufu for ice storage first." ”
After saying a while, he seemed to be still groaning, and then sighed and said: "I have wronged the old lady for the time being, and my son has to think about this matter again." ”
"Just do as you say."
The old lady is already exhausted, she is old, she has been in charge of Liufu for most of her life, and now that God has passed away, she is only supported by one breath.
……
After days of overwork, the news of the old lady's illness came out of Rongdetang early the next morning.
After hearing this, the daughters-in-law of each room hurriedly rushed to Rongde Hall with their maids and served them personally.
After a while, the old lady lay in the back room, and the daughter-in-law of the third room was guarding inside.
Wu sat absentmindedly in front of the old lady's bed, and sighed from time to time, "For the sake of the old lady, our big house will suffer a loss this time, if we really keep three years of filial piety, the flowering period of Sister Liu and Sister Zhen will be delayed in vain." ”
The Tuoba clan looked down on the Wu clan the most, and endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but ridicule: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'm only worried about Sister Liu, so why bother with the concubine." ”
Wu has always believed in his heart that it was Sister Yu'er who bumped into the old lady, otherwise why did the old lady have an accident on the day Sister Yu came out of the cabinet!
At this time, the Tuoba clan was cold and hot again, and the Wu clan immediately darkened his face, "Second brother and sister, your sister Yu is married, and the concubine Sister Fang is still young, so naturally you don't need to worry about it." ”
"Why are you suffering, so is it providential." Seeing that the more the two talked, the more they seemed to be arguing, so he had to open his mouth and persuade: "It's all this time, the old lady is still sick." ”
Tuoba snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to Wu, turned his head and asked Zhu in a low voice: "Third brother and sister, since the incident, I haven't seen you in a hurry, you really don't worry about Sister Li?" ”
"I'm just such a girl, how can I not worry." Zhu shook his head and said, "Second sister-in-law, this matter can't be solved by complaining a few words. ”
Tuoba nodded, and Wu also closed his mouth.
The crescent moon hangs high.
In Liufu, a few candles in the Rongxi Hall flickered and flickered.
On the night when Mrs. Liu fell ill, Gu and Liu Ruomei took advantage of the night again to quietly carry everyone to Rongxi Hall.
The third old lady had a cold face when she saw Liu Ruomei, and put down the bottle of incense in her hand, "I still have the face to cry with me here, I just want you to put some medicine in that girl's bowl, and you can't even do this!" ”
Speaking of this, Liu Ruomei was also aggrieved in her heart, and argued with red eyes: "Grandmother, on the day the third girl came out of the cabinet, I had indeed put the infertility pill powder into Liu Mengyan's cup. But I don't know why, she seems to know the precautions, but she just refuses to drink! ”
"Useless is useless, no matter how much justification, you are still not as good as that girl!" The third old lady was unmoved.
It's just that the moment Liu Mengyan was mentioned, a thick anger flashed in her cloudy eyes.
