For this second daughter, Master Liu's feelings are very complicated and painful, but he doesn't dare to get too close.

There are several young ladies in the Liu family, the second lady has the best appearance, she has already appeared when she is six or seven years old, and Master Liu liked this daughter very much at that time.

But later, by chance, the prefect was seen in Fucheng, and at that time, the prefect praised him for his good looks, and Master Liu was naturally very happy, but he didn't take it to heart.

But a few days later, the prefect took the initiative to facilitate him, so that he made a big deal, and the Liu family's business was even more prosperous.

Master Liu didn't refuse at that time, but later regretted it, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it didn't mean that he agreed to give his second daughter to the prefect?

The prefect is nearly forty years old, and it is a disgraceful thing to look at a girl who is not yet ten years old, that girl is still his daughter Liu Qianlai, can he feel good?

But he has already accepted the help of the prefect, and the people who usually can't stammer, just caught the line, and now regretted it, then the Liu family's business can't be saved, you must know that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat.

Everything is rooted in the fact that he didn't refuse at that time, and then there were constant troubles, every time he looked at this second daughter, he didn't dare to get close, he only felt that he was unworthy, and he simply became estranged from his children.

Only Mrs. Liu knows about this, I don't know how many times I have scolded him over the years, but I also know that this kind of thing can't be done, the relationship here is intertwined, and it is too complicated.

This time I got close to the second lady, in fact, there is also this reason, seeing that she is older, I don't know what will happen in the future, the Liu family can't stand her.

The little girl of twelve or thirteen has infinite fantasies about the future, she would never have thought that it was possible for her to be a concubine for a person who was nearly half a hundred years old.

Mrs. Liu said, "I didn't explain what happened back then, and he didn't mention it again after so many years, maybe this matter will pass like that." ”

Master Liu sighed, "Of course it's best to be like this, but our Liu family's business has been thriving over the years, and we can't get rid of him, I'm afraid that this matter is not so simple, who doesn't want to have the protection of being an official, people can't ask for it, why does he keep helping me?" ”

Old Madam Liu was angry again, "You, it's just that this name gave you the wrong name, and you've been thinking about money all your life, so the money is important to your daughter?" I feel uncomfortable when I see Qingqing, we really can't draw a line with those bastards? ”

"Mother, be cautious." Master Liu looked around, although there were only their mother and son in this room, he still felt uneasy.

Old Madam Liu didn't care, "What's the matter, he is a prefect, and he can still be eyes and ears everywhere, and he is more powerful than the emperor?" was originally a bastard, and he didn't let people say it? A lot of people of age have done everything to the little girl. ”

Speaking of this, she thought of Master Liu again, "You are also a virtuous person, and there are not enough concubines at home?" ”

"Mother, isn't that what I used to do? If you don't like it, I'll send everyone back, so stop scolding me. ”

The more Mrs. Liu spoke, the more angry she became, "Why can't I scold you?" You didn't provoke these things? Business is important, but I think it's more important than my own family, that's your daughter, even if you tear your face with the prefect, we can't do business in this small place? There's your cousin, after all. ”

Master Liu sighed, "Mother, I could say this a few years ago, but now I can't, our Liu family has taken the lead in Lingnan Town now, if you offend the prefect at this time and fall, it will not be easy to turn over in the future, which is worse than not being able to overwhelm people at the beginning." ”

"Mother, I don't want to do this to Qingqing, that's my daughter, I don't have anything I don't love, it's just that this business is also the hard work of several generations of the Liu family, where can it be destroyed in my hands?"

Master Liu only hated that he took his daughter to Fucheng back then, if he hadn't relented and didn't take her to relax, there would have been no future.

Now he only hopes that the prefect has forgotten about this, and the beauties around him are walking like water, maybe he really doesn't remember this? As for the convenience of business, maybe it's just because of the benefits he gave, after all, it's a lot of silver in a year.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help it, she felt sorry for her granddaughter, but she also knew that her son was struggling in the business field, and he didn't mean to send Qingqing out back then, it was just accidental, and he didn't make a decision in time, which became what it was later.

The two sighed in the house, and the second lady had already taken the maid out of the yard.

The Hu family's new home is much larger than before, and it was designed like this when it was built, with several independent small rooms, and now the guests are all separated, and they no longer sit together to eat.

I saw that there were small servants standing at the door of several rooms, and it was their master inside, and the second lady didn't look at it much, and took the maid out of the courtyard directly, and her own carriage was outside, and when she came out, the little maid said respectfully, "Miss is going back?" ”

Xiao Yue said, "Miss just wants to look around, you step back and don't have to follow." ”

Of course, she knew that the young lady wanted to walk freely, and if she followed the little girl, she would not be at ease.

The little girl retreated as she said, still guarding the carriage, and the second lady took Xiaoyue to the side of the house to have a look, she had never been to the countryside, everything was new.

"It's really good here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it's like home, it's exquisite, it's just not interesting, I look at it all day, I just feel bored, it's good to come out."

Xiao Yue said with a smile, "The slave maid sees that the old lady loves the second lady very much, and she will definitely bring it out from time to time in the future, and the young lady will never be bored again in the future." ”

The second lady smiled, "I don't know why my grandmother suddenly hurt me, obviously no one usually values it, if you are willing to take me, I will definitely follow, I can come out to see, I just feel that people are relaxed." ”

"Miss is the granddaughter of the old lady's relatives, so it doesn't hurt? The old lady used to be unsafe, but now that she is well, she is naturally close. ”

The master and servant were talking, and when they saw someone coming not far away, Xiao Yue hurriedly said, "Miss avoid it first, it's not good to meet a living person." ”

The second lady nodded, and avoided the side of the house a little, wanting to wait for someone to pass over and then come out to have a look, if she caused trouble, it would be even more difficult to come out in the future.

The person who came was celebrating his birthday, and he had just seen someone here, so he deliberately walked slower to give them time to react.

He knew that the Hu family often had guests, and sometimes there were female dependents, and the young lady in the boudoir was always inappropriate to collide, so he should be careful not to cause trouble for Sister Xue'er.

Now he was relieved to see them go to the back of the house, so that he could go into the courtyard and not bump into him.
