Chapter 388 Goodbye Liu Yu
The Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "I agree." Then he frowned and added, "But you can't stay in the kitchen all day."
Wenjiu immediately laughed and said, "Thank you, Master. You are so nice." He hugged his face and kissed him.
The Fourth Master's face was a little stiff, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He cleared his throat and said, "From now on, there will be a cook to serve you. Don't rush around. You have to remember that you are a girl, and it's not the custom for girls to stay in the kitchen all day!"
Wen Jiu nodded vigorously, agreeing: "That's right, Master."
Don't let her into the kitchen? That's impossible. Just don't let her into the kitchen in front of the Fourth Master.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Wen Jiu was very satisfied, and immediately showed concern for the Fourth Master with a smile. He even took a spoon, scooped a mouthful, and fed it to the Fourth Master's mouth.
She figured she'd finish drawing the blueprints for the kitchen and the playground later. Oh, and the blueprints for Jiu Ye's hot pot restaurant also needed to be finished quickly.
The Fourth Master blushed at her appearance. In fact, he didn't really want to eat what she called pearl soup. It didn't taste good at first glance.
Seeing the little girl being so attentive to him, he couldn't refuse, so he opened his mouth to taste it, then raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Hmm, it tastes not bad."
When the two of them had finished a bowl of pearl soup, they saw Buyan just walking into the room.
"Master, Lord Liu has woken up and wants to see you in the front hall."
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "He's not in good health. Let him recuperate for a few days. Forget about these formalities."
Bu Yan replied, "Lord Liu said he wanted to say goodbye to you. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he refused to go back. He also said that he wanted to return to Jinyang as soon as possible, so he came to say goodbye to you."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master stood up and said, "I'll go check on you. Don't move around. I'll come see you later."
With a hint of worry, he reminded everyone to warm the wine, then stood up and wanted to go out.
Wen Jiu didn't even have time to drink the soup. He grabbed some clothes and followed the Fourth Master out.
"Master, I'm free anyway, why don't you go with me?"
The Fourth Master frowned: "Nonsense!"
She rubbed her head against his shoulder and said, "I want to go and take a look. If Lord Liu and the others really go back, I won't be able to see them again."
Wen Jiu had heard so much about this Lord Liu that he'd developed an inexplicable attachment to him. It was like the feeling you get when the protagonist of a book you've been following for so long is about to leave. You always want to read it again.
The Fourth Master supported her head with one finger and said, "Stand still for me!"
Wenjiu stood at attention obediently, his eyes full of anticipation.
The Fourth Master finally gave in: "Follow me, but remember to be cautious."
Seeing her so happy, the Fourth Master let out a long sigh and simply pulled her away.
The Fourth Master's movements didn't affect the wine warming at all. She even turned around and ordered, "Shanzhao, Mammy, the courtyard is now in your hands. Dashao, come with me."
Dashao behind him immediately put down what he was holding happily and ran after Wenjiu.
If we say that Liu Yu was acquitted of the charges, Dashao would be the happiest.
It seemed as if every citizen of Jinyang City worshipped Liu Yu from the bottom of their hearts. To them, this man was not only their father and mother, but also their faith.
Dashao lost her parents when she was young. She, her brother Daguo, and the leader of Black Wind Village were all raised by Liu Yu. Their emotions were even more different.
On the way, Dashao's eyes turned red as he laughed.
Wen Jiu took the time to gently squeeze Da Shao's hand: "Everything will be fine once you go back. Although Lord Liu has been demoted, he will still be our father and mother in the future."
Da Shao nodded heavily: "Well, it's good to go back! It's good to be able to go back."
In the front hall, Liu Yu was supported by a white-haired old man. Wen Jiu was familiar with the old man beside Liu Yu. Everyone called him Qin Bo, a loyal servant who had served Liu Yu for many years. Earlier, Liu Yu had lost all hope and wanted to die, but it was Qin Bo's meal that brought him back.
There was a twenty-year age difference between them. Liu Yu's hair was now all white, and he looked a bit older. He looked about the same age as Qin Bo.
"master!"
When the two guards beside Liu Yu saw the Fourth Master coming, they came forward and saluted.
The eyes of both of them were red. Wen Jiu took a look and found that they were also two familiar faces.
One was Heifeng, the former leader of Heifeng Village, who had caused a lot of trouble for her and the Fourth Master.
One is Daguo, Dashao’s elder brother and the second in command of Heifengzhai.
This was the first time Wenjiu saw them in the Fourth Master's yard. Wenjiu actually knew that the Fourth Master had taken them in, but he didn't know what they had been doing for the Fourth Master.
In short, he was not taken with him by the Fourth Master.
The clothes they wore today were also different from those of the guards in the mansion.
I had said at the beginning that Liu Yu's death was not a pity, but he had not actually harmed anyone around Liu Yu. Even though Heifeng and the others had committed heinous mistakes, Fourth Master still gave them a chance.
Actually, the Fourth Master is also soft-hearted, right?
The Fourth Master saw Wen Jiu staring at him and couldn't help but poke her head in amusement: "Didn't you just say you wanted to come over to see Master Liu? Why are you staring at me?"
"I'm handsome, I have a good heart, I'm the best man in the world."
The Fourth Master felt a bit embarrassed by her straightforward look. He coughed lightly and said, "There are a lot of people around here, please be more considerate." This little girl is really something. She is obsessed with him to such an extent.
We spend the whole day together, but I still can't get enough of looking at her. I really don't know what to say to her.
When Liu Yu saw the Fourth Master, he immediately knelt down and said, "Liu Yu thanks the Fourth Prince."
Liu Yu's voice was hoarse and old, and he looked extremely thin. However, his back remained straight, and he kowtowed to the Fourth Master steadily.
Seeing that he didn't look well, the Fourth Master reached out to support him.
"You're not feeling well. Sit down and talk."
Liu Yu insisted on bowing. He swayed slightly, then slowly knelt down again and kowtowed three times solemnly.
"The Fourth Prince's kindness is one that Liu Yu will never forget. I, the treacherous minister Liu Yu, have committed a heinous crime and deserve death. I'm afraid I've failed the Fourth Prince's efforts."
The Fourth Master helped him up. "There's no need for such grand formalities, and there's no need to be ashamed. I recommended you for the position of county magistrate because I value your abilities. Just take care of yourself. The people of Jinyang City are waiting to be returned."
Liu Yu's lips trembled, and he remained silent for a long time. Finally, he knocked his head to the ground.
After staying in the dark prison for such a long time, he actually figured out a lot of things.
Liu Yu's death was not a pity. But what about the children who followed him? And what about those officials who had done nothing wrong?
I have no relatives anymore, but they are still here, so I can't be so selfish.
Fortunately, he met the Fourth Prince at this time.
At first, he thought that the Fourth Prince was just a prince who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Perhaps he has a wider vision than other rich kids, but he still doesn't understand the suffering of the people, nor does he understand that he has no control over his position in the officialdom.
