Chapter 161: The money is gone, and the people are gone
A moment later, a piercing scream came from the courtyard: "Ahhh
After a while, the two servants almost half-carried Mrs. Liu into the house, Mrs. Liu's face was pale, her eyes were dull, her lips were constantly trembling, but she couldn't make a sound.
Qing Yu glanced at Luo Buyi, Luo Buyi immediately realized and hurriedly stepped forward to give Mrs. Liu two injections, otherwise if she continued like this and continued to be stimulated, she would have a stroke.
After Mrs. Liu's emotions calmed down a little, tears began to fall, she grabbed Lord Liu's hand, and her voice trembled: "It's gone, it's gone...... I've saved half my life, more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it's all gone......"
Lord Liu held her hand, although he was angry, but looking at his wife like this, the words of reprimand were a little speechless.
He was born in poverty, and it was thanks to his father-in-law's family that he was admitted to the Jinshi, and after becoming an official, his income was not high, and the family's expenses were all pointed to the shop in his wife's hand. Fortunately, in the past few years, the business of my father-in-law's family has been doing well, and the shop in my wife's hand has also opened two more, and the life of the family is good.
But that's all he knows, he knows in his heart that the more than 10,000 taels of silver, Mrs. must have saved for several years, and it is also all their belongings.
It is really not easy for a family like them to have these savings.
After a while, Lord Liu saw that she was a little calmer, and then asked her: "Now that the money is gone, and the people are gone, if things are not clear, our family will also be implicated, what is going on, how much do you know, and explain it clearly in front of the king of the county......
Mrs. Liu, who has been an official wife for many years, still has a little bottom in her heart, knowing that if such a thing is really implicated, I am afraid that their whole family will have to get in.
With tears in her eyes, she knelt down and replied, "The concubine really doesn't know anything about buying assassins, and it's impossible for a small family like ours to hear of such a thing...... The concubine only knows that after our master let Cheng Gongzi cut off contact with Mei'er, they still have contacts in private, Mei'er thinks about him, everyone is going crazy, and I don't complain about the master in private, why didn't I fulfill them in the first place. Our master refused, saying that Cheng Gongzi had climbed a high branch, and it would be impossible to treat Mei'er well in the future, so I asked me to tell Mei'er about family affairs. The concubine has also known a few handkerchiefs over the years, and this year she has taken her to the banquets of various mansions through the relationship, Mei'er was originally reluctant to go, but later she probably met a few girls, and she began to warm up. ”
The concubine watched her gradually cheerful, and she was glad in her heart, who knew that some time ago the news of the death of Cheng Gongzi came, she was like a fool, she didn't eat or drink for several days, but it scared me. Fortunately, after two months, she slowly accepted the reality, but became a little reticent. But this month, she slowly became normal again, and she went out with me twice, and she also said that she asked her little sister to go to the street and went out a few times. The concubine, the concubine really doesn't know, how could she have anything to do with the assassination of the county lord, those silver ......"
Mrs. Liu cried sadly: "The concubine has saved half her life's silver, and if she keeps it for her children to make a private house in the future, how can she be willing to give it to her......"
