Chapter 81: Downfall
At this time, Li Qiuchi had already slipped back to the mansion, she quickly ran to Chu Jinrong's room, and after seeing that no one was catching up, she quickly closed the door, completely looking like a thief.
When Chu Jinrong saw it, he couldn't help but put down the book in his hand and asked her curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Qiuchi turned around and thought that the Liu family might be looking for her like crazy now, and she began to laugh, and laughter instantly filled the entire room. Chu Jinrong was also infected by her laughter, and he asked with a smile, "What interesting happened?" ”
Li Qiuchi laughed and told the truth of the matter intermittently, and Chu Jinrong couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.
"Do you know, yesterday she proudly swore that her restaurant would not fall, but today it was collapsed by me and Chen Shangshu, hahaha is a slap in the face......"
"I want to laugh now when I think about her face like eating a fly hahaha......"
Chu Jinrong sighed, "Yes!" Let her not do any good things on weekdays, and now she is really retribution! Seeing that Li Qiuchi finally showed a sincere smile in the past few days, he was unconsciously happy in his heart.
Li Qiuchi complained to her while laughing, "It's not! Just look at how proud she usually is, for fear that others don't know that she has a restaurant, and she doesn't restrain herself in such a vicious way, she deserves it! I guess she's trying to kill me now hahaha......"
The more angry the Liu family became, the more angry Li Qiuchi became, the happier she became, she directly found a seat near Chu Jinrong and sat down, and crossed her legs, which was very leisurely.
Chu Jinrong raised his eyebrows, "When you say this, I think of it." What if the Liu clan really comes to the door? ”
Li Qiuchi picked up the pastry on the table and took a bite of it absentmindedly, and said vaguely: "If she wants to come, she will come, I, Li Qiuchi, am really not afraid of her, besides, isn't it in your way?" ”
Chu Jinrong hooked his lips imperceptibly, "Well, there is me." ”
On the other side, the Liu family was under pressure from the Liu family, so they had to take Li Luoyao to the East Palace to plead with Li Qiuchi.
On the way, Li Luoyao forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, but her face was pale, "Mother, why did the well-behaved Liu family go bankrupt?" ”
Liu's face was gloomy, and his voice was also deep, "Someone doesn't want to give us a way to live." ”
"Don't want to give us a way to live?" Li Luoyao's eyes widened, and she suddenly thought of someone, and she said in disbelief, "Li Qiuchi? ”
Liu Shi did not speak, but his eyes were cold, and the cyan moonlight sprinkled down, like a thin veil, reflecting that Liu's eyes were as vicious as snakes. There seemed to be a thin red cloud on the horizon that obscured part of it, making the moon look bloodthirsty as well.
The two walked on the road, saying nothing one after another, but each had their own thoughts. After rounding the quiet alley, the surroundings became even more silent, except for the footsteps of the two men.
There are thousands of lights in the distance, and the East Palace is in the center, and the light inside is as bright as day, and the sky seems to be lit up because of this.
Only Li Luoyao and Liu's side are extremely dark, and they must always keep an eye on their feet to avoid tripping.
Li Luoyao looked at the East Palace in the distance, and suddenly the sourness in her heart also churned, why could Li Qiuchi live in such a good place, but they were only worthy of taking the cold and dark night road?
After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the door of the East Palace, Liu knocked on the door, and waited for a long time, but there was still no answer in the door. Liu was surprised, and knocked again in disbelief, but there was still no sound. She withdrew and looked at the past from a distance, the lights in the east palace were always on, and the sound of neat footsteps could be faintly heard, it should be someone busy.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Li Luoyao turned her head in confusion and asked her.
Liu frowned, didn't answer her, and stepped forward and knocked on the door, this time the knock was louder than the previous two, "Is there anyone inside?" I'm the princess's aunt, and I have something important to do with her! ”
Seeing that there was no response inside, Liu shouted twice, but these two times did not let the people inside open the door, but called the neighbors to bring them over.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest lady of the Fuyang Hou Mansion, oh no, Aunt Liu?" A middle-aged woman walked over with a sharp voice and a strange yin and yang attitude.
Liu frowned, "Who are you?" ”
The middle-aged woman chuckled, "Aunt Liu doesn't recognize me, but I recognize you." When you were the eldest lady, you were swaggering everywhere on the street, Aunt Liu won't remember it, right? ”
Liu Shi heard that she always revealed her scars, and her expression turned cold. Li Luoyao walked over, and her voice was weak: "Why does my mother slander my mother like this?" After all, because of some misunderstandings, my mother was demoted to a concubine, and my father also knew about it. ”
The middle-aged woman sneered disdainfully, "Murdering the main room, causing trouble to the husband, relying on foxes to get on top, you tell me to abide by my duty?" I'm slandering, I'm telling you to recognize the facts, and don't always distort the opinions of others, it's really disgusting. ”
After saying that, she took two steps back in disgust and fanned her hand in front of her nose.
This action completely made Liu's face darken, and she scolded angrily: "What are you, dare to teach me a lesson?" Even if it is a concubine, it is much more noble than you, a village woman from the countryside! ”
The middle-aged woman snorted twice, shook her head and sneered: "Your Liu family is already bankrupt, what about pretending?" She saw the faces of the Liu family and Li Luoyao turned white after hearing this, and her heart became even more proud, "Don't say that the status is noble, the Liu family has fallen, whether your aunt's position can sit firmly is still one thing, just worry about how lowly my status as a village woman is, worry more about yourself." ”
Liu was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to fall, but was dodged by the middle-aged woman, she sneered, "Yo yo, this can't talk about me, I'm going to beat someone." Come and see! She suddenly raised her voice to her surroundings, and passers-by stopped and gathered around.
"Did you see that? Standing next to me, it is the noble Aunt Liu at the top of the Chaoyang Hou Mansion, and the concubine of the Chaoyang Hou Mansion, Li Luoyao! She deliberately lengthened her voice, so that anyone could hear the irony behind it.
Li Luoyao saw so many people pointing around them, just a group of people watching jokes, and suddenly felt embarrassed, her eyes were also red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it. Liu's face darkened even more, she glared at the middle-aged woman fiercely, and the middle-aged woman glared back without showing weakness.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Liu and Li Luoyao standing at the door, looking very gloomy.
"How did the Liu clan come to the East Palace? Looking at their appearance, they seem to be very embarrassed. ”
"I guess it was the Marquis of Chaoyang who was disgusted with her, and then she had no choice but to go to the crown princess in desperation."
"Wrong, wrong," a man shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Liu family was seized by the government because of corruption and wanted to find the help of the crown princess." ”
