Chapter 54: Self-slapping in the mouth
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
During Liu Yiqing's coma, Xue Su wrote a letter and sent it back to Jingyang, and the second elder of the Liu family learned that his daughter was seriously ill, put down the business of the rice shop, and rushed to the capital in a carriage overnight.
Seeing his daughter lying on the bed with her eyes closed, the second elder of the Liu family cried very sadly, Mrs. Liu held Xue Su's hand tightly, her face full of remorse, "I was a good Xu Yuecheng, how could I have thought that the conscience of this big family was eaten by dogs, how innocent my Yiqing was, she was tortured by a concubine and only had half a life left......"
Patting Mrs. Liu's hand gently, Xue Su said tentatively, "Now that there is such a big mess, is my aunt still going to send Yiqing back to the Xu family?" Xu Yuecheng is not a broad-minded person, if he enters the wolf's den again, what will happen can be imagined. โ
"This, I also understand this, but if I reconcile with Xu Yuecheng, how should Yiqing live the rest of her life? Why is her life so bitter, I thought that after drinking willow dew and curing the disease of obesity, it is bitter and sweet, but I didn't expect to meet such a vicious in-law, it is all my bad mother who has hurt my daughter! โ
Seeing Mrs. Liu's tearful appearance, Xue Su's heart was a little blocked, Xue's mother had already gone when she was ten years old, if her mother was still there, she would not have ended up like that in her previous life.
Relieving herself, she said:
"Aunt, although Heli affects the reputation of women, but people don't live for a memorial arch, Yiqing's good life in the second half of her life is serious, as for the Xu family, if you break off the relationship one day sooner and get rid one day sooner, what's the reluctance?"
Master Liu looked at his daughter's sunken cheeks, and couldn't help but scold: "Mrs. Chu is reasonable, your daughter is not much more important than those false names?" Besides, even if you and I are a hundred years old, one-third of the family property will be charged to the government, and she will not be able to spend the rest in her life, so she doesn't have to worry about so many ......"
has seen a lot of winds and waves in the business field, but Master Liu can see it more clearly than his wife.
At this moment, he straightened up a face with a serious expression, and shocked Mrs. Liu, who was originally a soft-eared person who couldn't think of refutation at all, so he nodded in response.
The second elder of the Liu family lived in the general's mansion, and Xue Su placed them in a small courtyard in the east and sent Qiu Ju to take care of them, so as not to have anything wrong.
After seeing his daughter, Master Liu personally wrote a letter of harmony and sent someone directly to Xu's house.
------
"Nonsense!"
Xu Yue trembled angrily, his handsome face became very hideous, and seeing his son so out of shape, Master Xu on the side couldn't help frowning.
"What's on the letter?"
"The old thing of the Liu family sent the book of harmony and separation, let me reconcile with the Liu family, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world, marrying that sick seedling is already giving them face, and now they can leave if they want to, it is inevitable that we will not take our Xu family seriously."
Although he said so, what Xu Yuecheng cared about most was Liu Yiqing's dowry and the Liu family's business in Jingyang.
The rice has been spread for twenty years, and it can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels no matter what, if you get these silver coins, the Xu family will be able to go to another level, maybe he will also have the opportunity to become an imperial merchant.
Thinking of that beautiful scene, Xu Yuecheng's eyes showed a hint of imperativeness, and his emotions gradually calmed down, and said:
"Father rest assured, his son will not do stupid things, it just so happens that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the General's Mansion, and they came to visit today, and took this opportunity to bring the Liu family back, marriage is a good combination of the two surnames, but it is just a little wronged, what can I not bear?"
Seeing that his son had figured it out, Master Xu's eyes showed a little satisfaction, but when he thought of that Guo, he held back the fire in his belly.
"Bring the Guo family over, and if the Liu family is unwilling to come back, let her kneel at the door of the general's mansion until your wife changes her mind."
The capital is located in the north, and people can be frozen to death in three or nine days, and Guo is still pregnant with a child in his belly, if he really kneels on the ground, I'm afraid that it won't take an hour, and that piece of meat will not be saved.
Master Xu didn't guess the result, but did it on purpose.
For him, a child who can't tell whether he is a man or a woman can compare to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Xu Yuecheng is still young, and there will always be blood left in the future, and a stupid woman like Guo will not be shrewd in the children she gave birth.
According to his father's instructions, Xu Yuecheng took his sister Xu Yu and his concubine Guo Shi, got into the carriage and rushed to the direction of the General's Mansion.
At this moment, Xue Su was sitting in the main hall, and Steward Li was standing in front of her, his old face full of respect.
"Madam, there is a small building on the main street, which can be used to open a private restaurant, because the shopkeeper is a gambler and owes a lot of foreign debts, the small building is only sold for 1,500 taels, if it is not for the fact that there are too many compartments and the hall is too small, I am afraid it is far more than this price."
When she came to the capital in her last life, she had already seen how prosperous the feet of the Son of Heaven were, like the storefront in Steward Li's mouth, if she changed the time, I am afraid that she would not be able to take three thousand taels.
What's more, he has a stable temperament, and if he sends the news to him at this moment, it means that there must be nothing wrong with Xiaolou.
Xue Su lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded in response.
She didn't know that Cheng Sanniang also came to the capital at this time in the previous life, bought the small building, and had the support of Cheng Anbo behind her, and the business was becoming more and more prosperous, and even the nobles in the palace were frequent visitors to the beauty shop.
"Since this is the case, I will bother the housekeeper to work hard again, go to the government to buy the deed, Chunlan, go and bring the silver ticket."
I earned two thousand taels of silver in Jingyang before, but now I have gone for most of it, although Xue Su is not the kind of iron rooster that does not pull out a dime, but looking at the purse that has lost a lot of thickness, I can't help but feel a pain in my flesh.
As soon as Chunlan handed over the silver ticket to Steward Li, Qiu Ju walked in quickly.
"Madam, Xu Yuecheng and his sister and concubine are standing at the gate, wanting to visit Master Liu and Mrs. Liu."
The little face with a big slap couldn't help showing a little disgust, Xue Sugang wanted to drive people away, but he felt a little wrong, Xu Yuecheng came to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but brought his concubine Guo over, didn't he poke the second elder of the Liu family with a knife?
The Xu family's business is quite large-scale, and they don't look like people who can do such stupid things.
In this way, Xu Yuecheng has already regarded the Guo family and the child in her belly as an outcast, if she doesn't deal with it well, I'm afraid that the basin will be detained on the head of the general's mansion.
"I'll go find the second elder in person."
With that, Xue Su stood up and went directly to the small courtyard in the east, telling what happened at the door as it was, and he didn't even hide his own conjectures.
Mrs. Liu had a bitter face, and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Xu Yuecheng is so vicious, I'm afraid she won't let Yiqing go easily, if she can't leave, where will she have a way to live?" โ
Xue Su frowned, and suddenly remembered a recipe, which was mixed together with several common medicinal herbs to make Qingxin San, which could allow a man to stop his desires within three months.
Of course, the medicinal powder cannot change people's inner thoughts, the effect of Qingxinsan is very simple, as long as it is sucked into the nose by the man, the three inches below the umbilicus will not have any reaction after the medicinal powder takes effect, except for the integrity of the body, it is no different from the eunuchs in the palace.
At that time, when he was reciting the secret recipe in Anning Village, Xue Su carried it to Qingxinsan, and thought that he would never use this recipe, but he didn't expect to hit himself in the mouth today.
Because she wants to open a private store, she has to prepare a decoction, she bought a lot of medicinal materials before, and grinded raw and cooked white peony skullcap and other things into powder with a mill.
Putting the powder into the porcelain bottle, Xue Su walked briskly to the door.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Guo kneeling on a bluestone slab covered with a thin layer of snow, his hands covering his lower abdomen, his eyes were red and swollen, and his body was shaky, I am afraid that he will not last long.
"Xu Yuecheng, I didn't expect you to be so vicious, for the sake of the Liu family's industry, you don't even want the child in the belly of the concubine, although you don't want to raise the child, don't see blood at the gate of the General's Mansion."
Seeing that the young man's face changed again and again, Xue Su sneered, "Come on, bring the Guo family into the mansion, and when Xu Gongzi is sober, it's not too late to take the person away." โ
Just as a cold wind was blowing, she opened the porcelain bottle hidden in the sleeve cage, poured the medicinal powder into the palm of her hand, and the light yellow powder floated directly to Xu Yuecheng's face with the help of the wind.
Guo Shi was held by the arms of two rough envoys, and she struggled not much, and even breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was taken to the General's Mansion today, she knew that she had no good end, she had only knelt on the ground for less than a quarter of an hour just now, and her knees seemed to be pierced by countless needles.
Being pulled by her mother-in-law is better than going for half a life, but thinking about Liu Yiqing, who is not in human shape by her, Guo Shi is afraid again.
Smelling the bitter taste of medicinal herbs in front of his nose, Xu Yuecheng didn't take this matter to heart, he stared at Xue Su deadly, his eyes were gloomy, like a poisonous snake, which made people very uncomfortable.
"Xu Yuecheng, you are about to kill my daughter, write and leave the book as soon as possible, otherwise we will go to the official mansion, now is not the time to ban lawsuits, the official master will definitely make the decision for her!"
There were many people standing around, and when they heard Mrs. Liu's words, they all looked at Xu Yuecheng.
The Xu family is also a well-known family in the capital, and many people are long-term workers in restaurants, and some people immediately recognized his identity.
"This is the young owner of the Xu family restaurant, looking at the appearance of a person, I didn't expect to beat my daughter-in-law to death."
"The little lady next to him looks quite standard, I remember that there is a young lady in the Xu family, can't it be this one?"
The tall man spat on the ground, "What's the use of having a good skin?" This family kills people without seeing blood, if they really marry this Miss Xu, maybe they will lose their lives in a few years. โ
Hearing this, Xu Yuqi's eyes rolled, she never thought that things would develop to such a point, didn't she say that if the Guo family was used to threaten the General's Mansion, the Xue family would definitely hand over Liu Yiqing for the sake of fame?
Now that her reputation is completely ruined, how will she marry in the future?
