Chapter 10 Whose child is not a child

So much so that she had to work hard to find an errand boy. She didn't dare to go directly to the prison to see Sun Caidie, and she heard from Zhao Wanyue that someone was sent to guard the door of Sun Caidie's house. She didn't dare to go directly to Baihua Lane to ask Sun Caidie's husband to raise money, so she had to ask someone to send a letter to Sun Caidie's husband Zhou Quan to ask him to raise money.

Zhou Quan was idle, and the couple were greedy for pleasure. The money that Liu subsidized had been almost squandered by them. Although he had some private money in his hand, how could he be willing to use it to redeem someone? Anyway, he could marry his wife again. If Liu could give up her daughter, he could also give up his wife. As a result, two days passed, and Zhou Quan didn't bring a penny back to Liu.

Liu had already used her personal money to pay Zhao Wanyue for her dowry, and she had very little left. She had no choice but to go to the counter to withdraw money. Although Zhao Wanyue had changed her cards, she should be able to pay 10,000 or 20,000 silver coins.

But she went to all the shops and farms, and no shopkeeper dared to make the decision, saying that it would only count after seeing the cards of the prince's wife.

Liu's face turned the color of pig liver with anger. She returned to the mansion exhausted and scolded Zhao Wanyue: "You have been the housekeeper for less than three days, and you are so harsh to your mother-in-law. I will sue you for being unfilial."

Zhao Wanyue said kindly: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? If you need money, just come to me. Why do you have to go to the counter to suffer? Didn't I just get cheated by the man who was struck by lightning? I gave those shopkeepers a good beating, and they How dare I give you money?"

Liu was eager to save her daughter, and seeing that Zhao Wanyue had surrendered, she said, "Well, give me 15,000 taels, I need it urgently!"

Zhao Wanyue opened her mouth wide and said, "Mother, you are trying to kill me. I have used all the things in my private storehouse to make up for your losses. Now I don't have even 1,000 taels, let alone 10,000 taels. Lian Xuan, go and get the bag of silver on my bedside. If mother doesn't mind, take this."

"Zhao Wanyue, why are you sending away beggars?" Liu knocked the purse to the ground.

Zhao Wanyue said aggrievedly: "Mother is so bullying. I saved this little bit of money to make a longevity lock for Xiaoxiao. Since mother thinks it's too little, Lian Xuan, take the money."

Lian Xuan was waiting for these words. He immediately picked up the purse and left.

Liu wanted to shout, but couldn't open her mouth, so she just cursed, "Wait, I'm going to sue you for disrespecting and abusing your mother-in-law, and punish you for being unfilial."

Zhao Wanyue was so aggrieved that she cried, "In that case, your mother-in-law will go and sue, and your daughter-in-law will go with you. If the prefect doesn't make the decision for you, we'll go to the palace and ask the empress to make the decision, and see what you should do with the hundreds of thousands of silver you lost?"

Liu didn't dare to expose this scandal, so she had to swallow her anger and think of a way herself. She still had some good things in her hands, and although she was in a hurry to use the money, the price was pushed down too low, so she could only cry, but it was still a long way from 15,000 taels.

Zhou Quan didn't make any move, so she had to go to Baihua Lane again to smear him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Quan had no money, and complained to Liu that the servants were suddenly cut off from their monthly wages, and the servants were all around him asking for money. No one cooked, no one cleaned the house, and no one even took care of Yingying.

Liu was so angry that she couldn't let him control her. She slapped him and said, "If it weren't for me, you would still be selling sweet potatoes. If anything happened to Caidie, you still want to be the master here, go and take out all the money in the family!"

Zhou Quan was also a coward, but he thought that Liu would subsidize him every month, and he spent money like water. After taking out all the money in his hand, he only had less than 1,000 taels, and it was not enough even with Liu's money.

If Liu had not been worried about her daughter and was afraid that she would die in prison, she would have fainted eight hundred times by now.

She gritted her teeth and held up her shaking body, constantly thinking of a solution. Finally, her eyes fell on the house in front of her.

She bought the house, and the title deed and the land deed were still in the mansion. If she wanted to save her daughter, she had to buy the house.

Zhou Quan couldn't rely on him, so Liu called a smart servant and asked him to find the manor agent as soon as possible to find a buyer for the house in Baihua Lane. She then rushed back to Sun's house to get the title deed and the land deed.

Finally, on the third day, Liu bought the house at a low price and rented a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city to accommodate Sun Caidie's family.

The house was small and money was tight, so Liu simply dismissed all the servants and left only the old woman to look after Sun Yingying.

Sun Caidie was tortured and frightened, and was already barely breathing when she was brought back. Fortunately, Liu invited a doctor, and after she drank a bowl of medicine, she finally got better, but she was still unconscious.

Although Liu was worried, she didn't dare to stay for long, so she had to ask the old woman to take good care of her and went back in a hurry.

Zhou Quan looked at the courtyard with only three rooms and felt very frustrated. Now there was only an old mother at home, and she had to take care of the unconscious Sun Caidie. Liu didn't keep any of those pretty maids for him. Now he had to take care of the child by himself. What was so good about a little girl?

Zhou Quan became angrier and angrier. He kicked the cradle hard, and the child in the cradle burst into tears. Zhou Quan was so annoyed that he picked her up and fed her some rice soup. It was not because he had a guilty conscience that he would have to rely on her to ask Liu for money in the future.

Liu had been pampered for so many years, but she had never been so angry and tired like today. She fell ill as soon as she got home.

Zhao Wanyue fulfilled her duties as a daughter-in-law. She called doctors and prescribed medicines, but she was too busy to visit her. Even Zheng Yaxian, who had to watch her face every day, did not come. Liu felt so upset.

Thinking of her unconscious daughter, she felt mixed emotions. All of this was caused by Zhao Wanyue. Why didn't she realize that Zhao Wanyue was not an obedient kitten, but a tiger with sharp teeth and claws?

Zhao Wanyue felt mixed emotions after listening to the report from the shadow guard. Liu really did enough for her daughter. It can be seen that even if she was a snake-hearted person, she would protect her child at the cost of her life.

Thinking about what she overheard from Xiaoxiao, her three children all died a miserable end, Zhao Wanyue wanted to eat Liu alive.

Zhao Wanyue's brows were cold, her fists clenched, your children are children, my children are not children, I want you to have a taste of losing your loved ones too.

Finally, she arranged for someone to take care of the doctor who treated Sun Caidie, gave him a bag of money, and told him to use whatever good medicine he needed, and there would be a reward if the patient was saved.

Although Liu's mother and daughter were hateful, this was all evidence of Liu's crimes. It was not time for them to die yet, so let them linger for a while.
