Liu Mengyan sneered in her heart: A few days ago, because she was made the county lord by the emperor himself, Liu Sanye ran diligently to this Fangyu Garden.

Now that Liu Ruomei has been named the crown princess, he immediately reversed the direction of the wind, and he was really snobbish.

But Liu Qingde snorted: "It's just a concubine, if it's a sister, even a concubine deserves it." ”

In his heart, his sister is the most beautiful and smart, and he doesn't know how much stronger than that Liu Ruomei.

Liu Mengyan listened to Liu Qingde's words, couldn't help but smile, and touched his head dotingly, "Your sister and I are not that powerful." What's more, there's nothing good about this royalty. My sister just wants to marry an ordinary family in this life, teach her husband and children, and then live a free life with her mother and brother. ”

When Zhu heard Liu Mengyan's words, he couldn't help but smile, "My mother also hopes that you will be like this, and your life will be smooth, peaceful, and joyful." ”

"Mother is right." Liu Mengyan said while eating.

Liu Qingde and Tian's mother also laughed, the family was very happy, and no one mentioned the matter of Liu Sanye and Haitang Courtyard anymore.

After dinner, Liu Qingde fell asleep in Zhu's arms, Liu Mengyan accompanied Zhu to talk for a while, and also returned to Chu Xiuxuan.

As soon as she came back, Qian Yu immediately entered the house and said to Liu Mengyan: "Girl, the eyeliner from Rongxi Hall has come to report, saying that the second uncle of the Gu family has quietly entered the house again, and he is now in Rongxi Hall." ”

When Liu Mengyan heard this, she thought for a while, and then said, "Bring my cloak, prepare a box of spices, and I'm going to say hello to the old lady." ”

Qian Yu was puzzled: "Girl, it's so late, why don't you wait until tomorrow morning?" ”

Although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't dare to be idle in her hands, so she went to prepare spices.

Liu Mengyan frowned, this second uncle and grandfather Gu came to Liufu three times and twice, even begging the old lady to get the silver, he shouldn't have come so late, there must be something strange in this.

And in the past few days, she has always felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she always feels that Gu's mother and daughter are planning something.

"If you don't go tonight, I'm afraid it will be too late tomorrow. Go and call Qiu Yun in. She said with a frown.

That's right, if you don't go to the bottom today, wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid that they have done enough and just wait for her to jump in. However, she also admired the one in Rongxitang, she thought that she was already busy with the Gu family's affairs, but she didn't want to have the heart to think about herself.

Qiu Yun came in to greet Liu Mengyan, and Liu Mengyan immediately ordered: "You go to the main gate and side gate of Liu's Mansion now, and ask the little guy guarding the door to inquire if you have seen Second Uncle Gu's grandfather come into the mansion." ”

Qiu Yun didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the front and side doors to inquire according to what Liu Mengyan said.

Bitong took the spices and helped Liu Mengyan to the door of Rongxi Hall.

I saw that the door of Rongxi Hall was closed, and only a mother-in-law guarding the door sat in front of the door.

When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw Liu Mengyan coming, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, but she was immediately pressed down again, stopped Liu Mengyan and said, "Fourth girl, the old lady has already rested, if the fourth girl has something, please come back tomorrow." ”

Liu Mengyan felt a little strange in her heart. Although the third old lady doesn't like herself very much on weekdays, she will not be allowed to enter this Rongxi Hall, but today she was stopped by this mother-in-law, proving that there must be something in this Rongxi Hall.

Liu Mengyan smiled and said very gently: "Please ask the old mother to go in and say that Mengyan has something to ask to see the old lady." ”

She naturally knew that the old lady hadn't rested yet, because the second uncle and grandfather Gu hadn't left the house yet, how could the old lady have already rested.

The old woman hesitated, but because Liu Mengyan had just been named the county lord, she was not an old woman who could afford to offend.

She had no choice but to ask Liu Ruyan to wait for a while, passed the word to the maid inside, and came out to guard the door again.

Although spring has already begun, the weather is still very cold at night.

Liu Mengyan waited like this, and Bitong couldn't help but complain a little, "The old lady is really, whether she sees the girl or not, she should send someone out to say goodbye, what is the reason for hanging our girl like this?" ”

"Bitong!" Liu Mengyan whispered to Bitong and didn't let her continue.

Although she doesn't like the old lady either, on the surface, the old lady is still her grandmother.

As soon as her words fell, a little maid came out of it and whispered a few words in the ear of the mother-in-law guarding the door, and the mother-in-law let Liu Mengyan enter the Rongxi Hall.

Liu Mengyan followed the maid into the main room, and the old lady was sitting in the hall.

I don't know if it's because of the flickering candlelight, or because the Rongxi Hall is empty, she actually feels that this old lady looks tired and has lost a lot of weight.

But thinking about it, such a big thing happened in the Gu family, and this old lady naturally had a lot of heart.

She pressed these thoughts in her heart, and stepped forward to ask for peace: "Grandmother, Mengyan looks at her grandmother and seems to have lost a lot of weight, is her body okay?" ”

The third old lady saw that there was an obvious smile on her face, she must have come to mock herself, and couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart, but she also smiled kindly on her face: "Grandmother is very relieved that you want to come over to say hello so late." ”

Hearing such inconsistent words, Liu Mengyan smiled, took the things in Bitong's hand and said: "Mengyan got the best soothing incense today, so I thought that my grandmother must have broken her heart in the past few days and couldn't sleep sadly, so I specially sent it to help my grandmother sleep peacefully." ”

The old lady looked at the incense and snorted coldly in her heart, she really came to see her joke, but looking at Liu Mengyan's face and sneering in her heart, you won't be proud for long.

"Yan'er has a heart, and the incense grandmother accepts it. If Yan'er is fine, then go back and rest early, grandmother is also going to rest, I haven't slept well these days, tonight with your incense, I can finally sleep well. ”

"Grandmother, why is there so little candlelight in this house, is it that the subordinates are not serving?" Liu Mengyan said again, but her eyes turned around the room, and she found that there was nothing missing in this room.

Sure enough, the third old lady only took her own body and gave it to the Gu family, and she still didn't have the face to really take it out and sell it.

"My wife has bad eyes today and is afraid of light. Therefore, they were asked to order a few less. The third old lady said.

Liu Mengyan nodded, "Grandmother, rest in peace earlier, Mengyan will retreat first." Then he got up and took his leave.

The master and servant walked out of the Rongxi Hall.

"Bitong, you go and call Zhu Song and Zhu Hai to come to my house later. Something was commanded to them. Liu Ruyan said.

"Girl, what are you going to do?" Bi Tong was puzzled.

"It's not me who wants to do anything, it's our three old ladies who want to do something. We've got to be on guard. Liu Ruyan's face was calm, and there was a chill in her eyes.

After returning to Chu Xiuxuan, Liu Mengyan sat cross-legged on the couch and asked Qiu Yun to take out her calligraphy and start copying it.

This is a habit she has developed for many years in the previous life.

Whenever Liu Mengyan had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, she would copy the notebook.

After about a stick of incense, Zhu Song has already come.

Standing with his hands down.

"Zhu Song, I want you, as well as Zhu Wu, Zhu Xing, and Zhu Hai, who are guarding the door for four nights. If you see someone sneaking around with something on their back and trying to leave, just arrest him. Liu Mengyan said.

"Yes." Zhu Song said.

"Girl, are you saying that the third old lady will let people take things and sell them outside?" After Bitong saw Zhu Song leaving, he stepped forward.

"My grandmother has already handed over a letter, saying that there is a murder case in the Gu family. In the past few days, the Gu family has been in and out of the house frequently, and the third old lady took her fine soft and went out to sell it. Obviously, the Gu family began to knock on the marrow and suck blood again. I'm afraid it's not enough, so we have to be a little more guarded. Liu Mengyan said.

"What did the girl see?" Bitong Road.

"In Rongxi Hall, didn't you notice a trace of inaudible anxiety on the face of the third old lady? If she had already dealt with the affairs of the Gu family, how could she guard against us like that. When I got to the door, I had to let Mama Qiu go in to report, so I let the two of us in. It can be seen that there must have been other people in the house at that time. Liu Mengyan said with a twist.

Bi Tong nodded and said, "The third old lady knows everyone when she sees the Gu family, why is she so sneaky this time, she seems to be afraid that the girl will bump into something." ”

"You're on the point. She was obviously afraid that we would bump into something, so she let people stop us. Then we went in, and she was visibly absent-minded. It can be seen that she is planning something in her heart. Liu Mengyan said.

"Girl, do you think the third old lady will let the Gu family move the things in her house to sell?" Bitong said in disbelief.

"We don't know how much silver she stuffed to feed the Gu family on weekdays. Now she sells her fineness and throws it to the Gu family. We still don't know. But if she asked people to move the decorations in Rongxi Hall to the Gu family, it would not look good. Daddy won't leave it alone. After all, it can be said that it is her own, but every grass and tree in Rongxi Hall is all from Liufu. Liu Mengyan said.

"Exactly. Are these three old ladies going to empty the Liufu Mansion to fill her mother's family? Bitong said indignantly.

"Yes, but she can't do it explicitly. Not only is Daddy not allowed, but the long room will not sit idly by. So, I guess, she wants to come dark. Liu Mengyan curled the corners of her mouth, the light in her eyes was extremely sharp, and said, "This time, she sent it to the door herself." ”

"Girl, then you don't know when they'll do it." Bitong Road.

"So let Zhu Song and the others guard those doors. No matter where he gets out, he must not be allowed to escape. Liu Mengyan said.

The night breeze was blowing, and Liu Ruomei took the hand of the piano and went to Rongxi Hall.

The third old lady sat on the couch where she usually recites scriptures, with her eyes closed, holding a string of Bodhi seeds in her hands, and she was fiddling with them one by one.

"Old lady, the fifth girl is here." Qiu's mother reported.
