Chapter 17: Plotting in the Dark
Driving them away in such an open and honest manner made the Wen family look very embarrassed.
The surrounding onlookers saw this scene, and some couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at these people, when I saw that Mrs. Lin could take charge of the things one by one, I had the idea of beating her, obviously she had already sold them, and she was licking her face, and she didn't know what to do to other girls on weekdays."
"It's really faceless to be able to turn people away and rush away."
The whispers of the crowd reached the ears of the Wen family, making them all a little embarrassed, and they continued to entangle without face, and fled one after another.
Lin Xiaojiu laughed when he learned about this, and didn't care about those who didn't matter.
After she took over the Liu family, there were still many things to wait for her to familiarize herself with the reconciliation one by one, and the housekeeper led the shopkeepers of each shop to the study
When someone from the Liu family's side saw it, they stopped him: "What are you doing here?" ”
The housekeeper said respectfully: "These shopkeepers are all here to report to Madame, Madame has just taken over Liu's Mansion, and there are many places that need to be familiarized." ”
Everyone in the Liu family looked at each other, and there was a lot of unwillingness in their expressions, and Liu Neng, who always came to the side of the rich man Liu in the past, said loudly: "Okay, then you should go quickly, don't delay the time." ”
Seeing the housekeeper leave with the shopkeepers, someone next to him said in a weird manner: "It's really ridiculous, our Liu family has a big business, but in the end we gave a concubine to take care of things." ”
"Speaking of which, this Lin family has only entered the door for a short time, and in the final analysis, she is still an outsider, is there no one in our Liu family or what, she wants a foreign surname to take care of us!"
"That's right, our Liu family also has outstanding juniors, who can't be in charge?"
After everyone expressed their dissatisfaction one by one, Liu Neng said lightly: "Is she worthy of taking the things of our Liu family, a concubine with a foreign surname?" ”
The group gradually quieted down, and went to a quiet courtyard with Liu Neng as the head.
"Liu Neng, you were originally a big celebrity in front of Master Liu, and it is obvious to all of us that the master believes in you. It stands to reason that you should be the most likely to be in charge of our Liu family now, are you really willing to do this. ”
As soon as these words came out, a few people more or less echoed them. The rest either watched the play or disdained.
Liu Neng listened to the words of these people and sneered: "You guys are so calculating, you want to instigate me to come out and deal with the Lin family, so you can follow behind and reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”
He can be in front of Rich Liu for a long time, so naturally he is not stupid. Now he knows exactly what these people are thinking.
"Let's all speak openly, who in this room doesn't want to claim the inheritance? Why do all these twists and turns? It's just that now everyone can only watch the inheritance fall into the hands of the Lin family, not to mention me, how many people can be willing? ”
After saying this, few people spoke again, but Liu Neng knew that his words had an effect.
But even if you are unwilling, what can you do? There is a county order to help the Lin family, can we still rob it? ”
"Who said you can only grab it? Although there is a county order to help her, if she is also unfortunately killed, is it possible that our Liu family will only be leaderless from now on? ”
"What do you mean......"
"As long as this person in the way is removed, then we can compete according to our abilities."
As if expected, Liu Neng's calm voice sounded, and everyone quieted down, but they were obviously excited.
At night, the study was still bright, Lin Xiaojiu was still sitting in front of the bookcase, looking at the account books piled together, and he didn't even have time to eat dinner.
Luo Xuanze didn't expect her to be so serious, but he couldn't bear to see her patronize these things without eating or drinking, so he asked the kitchen to prepare two meals and send them to the study.
The servant brought the food in and left, although he tried his best to hide it, but the back revealed a trace of panic.
Sensing this, Luo Xuanze instinctively became vigilant.
Lin Xiaojiu didn't know this little detail, and when she saw that the food was delivered, it happened that she was also hungry, so she put down the pen and account book in her hand.
"It was already dark, I didn't notice at all, and it was time for dinner. Ozawa, come on. ”
She walked to the table and sat down, and as soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she was grabbed by Luo Xuanze's wrist: "Wait first." ”
"What's wrong?" Although Lin Xiaojiu was a little confused, she knew that Luo Xuanze would not stop her from doing anything for no reason, and he grabbed her hand and did not resist.
Luo Xuanze carefully looked at the dishes on the table, twisted his eyebrows and said, "There is a problem with these dishes." ”
"What!" Lin Xiaojiu was a little surprised, and the chopsticks in his hand were also put down.
It just so happened that Lin Xiaojiu had a silver hairpin pinned to his hair, Luo Xuanze took it out and tried the dish, held it in the candlelight, and the two stared quietly, and sure enough, after a while, that part of the silver hairpin turned black.
"How so!" Lin Xiaojiu couldn't believe it, and was afraid for a while, if Luo Xuanze hadn't stopped him, then he might have been poisoned to death at this moment, and he wouldn't even be able to die.
"It seems that there are people in this mansion who don't want you to sit in this position."
Seeing that Lin Xiaojiu was a little stunned, Luo Xuanze's expression became more and more solemn.
"Don't worry, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go."
He went straight to the back kitchen, the person who served the food just now was not a fresh face, it seemed to be a person from the house, and he was a little flustered, it seemed that he knew that there was something wrong with the food.
Luo Xuanze was armed with martial arts, walked lightly and quickly, and when he approached the back kitchen, he heard the sound of talking from inside, so he stopped and stood quietly outside the door.
"Nengye, I have already sent all the food over according to your instructions, please, let me go, something happened here, the villain's cheap life is gone."
"Since you know that you are a cheap life, treat me well."
Liu Neng's voice was slightly impatient and careless.
"Aren't you just worried about your wife and children at home, after you confess your guilt, the children in your family will get a sum of money, enough for them to live, which is no better than earning that little money to support your family every day."
The man wept bitterly, obviously a little unwilling, but in comparison, he seemed to have no better way.
Seeing that the next person was hesitant and stopped talking, Liu Neng said with a smile on his face.
"You just admit a sin and the family can live a good life, if you make money for a lifetime, I'm afraid the family has always been poor, now is the best choice."
The corners of the servant's mouth twitched, and before he could speak, the door that had been closed was kicked open.
"Yes, but how can there be any reason to ask others to suffer for themselves?"
