Chapter 310 Danger
Old Master Liu frowned unhappily and shouted at the servant beside him, "What's wrong with Liu Anyuan? Why hasn't he brought Yan Chuo back yet?"
Who is Liu Anyuan? Hu Xin'er was a little confused.
But soon, she saw an embarrassed expression on Mrs. Liu's face.
It seems that Liu Anyuan is Lord Liu, and Yan Chuo is Young Master Liu?
The servant said tremblingly, "I personally delivered the invitation early this morning, and also brought a message from the old master, but for some reason, only Chen came..."
Madam Liu Chen hurriedly said, "Duke Xuanyuan organized an autumn hunt, scheduled half a month in advance. They couldn't refuse, so they accepted the invitation."
In fact, although the appointment was made half a month in advance, Master Liu decided to pretend to be sick because of the unpleasant marriage with the Xuanyuan family.
However, man proposes, God disposes. As soon as he heard that the master of the house had come to deliver the invitation, he quickly recovered from his illness and went hunting.
Chen naturally would not say these words. She had to protect her own son, so she could only look helpless and embarrassed.
Previously, when entertaining the Duke's Mansion, Madam Liu was quite witty and talkative, but at this table, she didn't even want to say anything extra, nor did she dare to.
Old Master Liu was very unhappy. He forced himself to suppress his anger, but his eyes were heavy, like an abyss, making people feel the majesty and anger hidden in them.
If Duke Xuanyuan is a raging fire, then Old Master Liu's anger is like gunpowder hidden under the packaging of kindness and love.
Once detonated, there will be no complete body left.
Madam Liu secretly clenched her teeth, but straightened her back. In front of this table full of people, she looked a little thin and frail, but there was a tenacious strength between her eyebrows - this was the background of her scholarly family.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Hu Xiner was sitting on the right side of Old Master Liu and pulled him pretending to be confused.
At the same time, she was thinking rapidly in her mind, why was Old Master Liu so angry? His son hadn't been home for a long time. As a nobleman, was he really so angry with his daughter-in-law?
Unless the rumors she overheard were true, Old Master Liu and the Duke did not get along!
When Old Master Liu heard the word "Grandpa", his aura suddenly subsided and the anger in his eyes immediately dissipated.
He first responded with a smile, then said, "My dear granddaughter, you're not scared, are you? It's all your ignorant uncle and cousin's fault. They only know how to stir up trouble outside all day long, and they still use the name of our Liu Mansion!"
Hu Xin'er thought, really? Is there such a thing?
It seems that the atmosphere in Liu Mansion is much better than that in the main house. At least the people are honest.
No matter how "naughty" Master Liu is, he is the one who brings Feng Ge, who is homeless on the street, home. Although Feng Ge's superb deception skills are involved, it also shows that Master Liu is kind-hearted.
Unlike in the main house, where a servant can speak so many roundabout words.
But even though she was complaining in her heart, in order to help Chen out and to please Old Master Liu and find the clues to the basement, Hu Xin'er showed a caring look on the surface: "A harmonious family brings prosperity! Grandpa, please don't be angry~"
Just these two simple sentences made Old Master Liu's face wrinkle with smile.
Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and the others looked at Hu Xiner calmly.
The person who couldn't hold her breath the most was Liu Qingyi. She raised her head abruptly, and the tassels on both sides of her hair immediately began to sway. "I didn't expect my aunt to learn how to please the old master right after she came in. I must learn this skill of flattery from my aunt!"
Her tone was extremely unfriendly.
This is too unpleasant to say.
Hu Xiner's mouth twitched. How would it feel if a young man suddenly rushed out from the immersive experience of house fighting?
There was no wave in my heart, and I even felt like laughing.
Among all the masters of house fighting, Liu Qingyi is unique in his recklessness and stupidity!
She originally thought that if Liu Zhi was so difficult to deal with, then Liu Zhi's daughter must be as smart as a ghost, but now she felt relieved.
Old Master Liu was furious: "What are you talking about!"
Liu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then felt even more aggrieved: "Grandfather, today I realized that you really don't love me. Is our family love of more than ten years not as good as this woman who suddenly appeared?"
Old Master Liu was so angry that he almost wanted to hit someone: "How could our Liu family give birth to such a fool like you?"
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly outside to report: "Oh no, old master, Master Yan Chuo fell off his horse and is in critical condition!"
"What?" Everyone present exclaimed in surprise, whether sincerely or insincerely.
Hu Xin'er was also surprised. Yan Chuo? Isn't that Master Liu?
"Isn't he participating in the Duke's Mansion's autumn hunt?" Old Master Liu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Tell me, what's going on?"
The servant didn't even have time to catch his breath before he hurriedly said, "Old Master, Master Yan Chuo has been taken to the nearest hospital, but he's seriously injured. They've asked us to prepare a thousand taels of silver and bring it over!"
"A thousand taels of silver, why doesn't he just go and rob it?" Liu Qingyi's anger, which had nowhere to vent, was immediately directed at the servant. "I think it's you, the cunning servant, who is bullying your master!"
Old Master Liu frowned: "Shut up!"
Liu Qingyi wanted to say something, but she saw that Butler Liu was staring at her sinisterly.
She felt a chill down her spine and suddenly dared not say anything.
Chen was also panicked, tears welling up in her eyes. But she remained calm and said to Old Master Liu, "Please save Yan Chuo!"
However, the eldest old lady actually spoke up: "Mrs. Chen, this is not a question of whether to save her or not, but a thousand taels of silver. I really have some..."
"Foolish woman!" Old Master Liu scolded harshly, "You've been in charge for so many years, and you can't even come up with a thousand taels of silver. Do you want our Liu family to become the laughing stock of the entire capital?"
The eldest old lady muttered quietly: "Master, I mean that the lion over there is asking for a big reward, so we can take him back and treat him first."
Old Master Liu said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and go prepare the money."
The old lady had no choice but to take out a key from her sleeve and walk to the backyard.
Hu Xiner's attention was attracted.
The old lady's key seems to be exactly the same as the one he got?
If it wasn't inconvenient to follow at this time, she would definitely find the old lady and observe her keys.
The eldest old lady was reluctant, but the second old lady was extremely anxious because that was her own grandson!
She cried, "Old sister, we have lived together in this backyard for decades. How could you be so cruel as to watch my grandson die?"
Liu Zhi immediately said, "Second Old Lady, be careful with your words! Over the years, my mother has always been the most fair in her dealings. This is obvious to all!"
