Chapter 315: Exploring the Basement
The second old lady was about to rush up and hit the first old lady again.
Hu Xiner had only one thought in her mind at this moment, that this was the original owner's biological grandmother after all, and she couldn't let her suffer any loss!
She hurried over to stop him, but was hit by the broom thrown by the old lady and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Yun Qiu's eyes rolled around smartly, and he immediately stood in front of Hu Xin'er, his eyes filled with fear, and he said in a trembling voice, "Madam, Madam, is your stomach okay? Someone, come and call the doctor!"
After this shout, everything was silent.
Hu Xin'er was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the ground and pretended to be in pain.
"Xin'er!" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu Chen, who had been watching the show nearby, suddenly changed her expression and ran directly to Hu Xin'er's side, asking with concern, "Are you okay? Does it hurt? Old Master, stop arguing and come and see if Xin'er is okay!"
Young Master Liu was also carried over to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, he found Hu Xin'er injured as soon as he arrived, and hurriedly said, "Go call a doctor!"
Seeing Hu Xin'er injured, Old Master Liu was completely furious: "Stop it!"
What he did just now can only be described as losing control of his emotions in a hurry.
But now he is really scary.
Everyone fell silent, even the most arrogant old lady uncomfortably adjusted her hair.
"If you go crazy again, I will really divorce you." Old Master Liu's tone now can only be considered calmer than before.
He spoke these words one by one, and although his speech was slow, no one dared to interrupt.
The old lady lowered her eyes and said, "Let's go and comb our hair."
This farce has only really come to an end now.
Liu Zhi glanced at Hu Xiner lying on the ground, as if he had offended something dirty, so he quickly helped the old lady away.
Hu Xiner looked at Chen in front of her and couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she had to continue pretending to be in pain.
"I think we should go into the house first." The reason why Mrs. Liu took care of Hu Xiner was actually very simple, because she could be said to be her son's savior.
She lived in the Weiyan Pavilion next door, so she and the second old lady and Liu Yanchuo accompanied Hu Xiner into the house, while Yun Qiu was squeezed outside.
The second old lady's eyes were filled with tears. She knew that blood ties could not be severed. She never expected that in the critical moment, it was her newly recognized granddaughter who protected her!
There are also a dazzling array of calligraphy and paintings hanging in Weiyan Hall. If you pick any one of these and sell it, you might easily get thousands of taels of silver.
If every room was decorated like this, it would not be surprising that the Liu family could not even come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver, after all, all the money was spent on buying calligraphy, paintings and antiques.
But there is another possibility, that is, the old lady is pretending to be poor.
"It's also possible that the Liu family is more concerned about their reputation, so they don't sell these calligraphy and paintings to raise money, resulting in an empty place." Hu Xiner thought so. She was not really in pain, so she walked while observing her surroundings calmly.
The inner room of Weiyan Hall presented a completely different scene. A paper-pasted wooden window with hollow carvings was propped up, and sunlight fell on the desk in front of the window, where a ginkgo tree painting lay quietly.
Only after helping Hu Xiner sit on the couch did Chen walk to the door.
Liu Yanchuo was outside craning his neck to look inside. The second old lady and Yun Qiu were also about to come in.
"Wait a minute, mother," Chen said softly, the tassel of the jade hairpin in her hair swaying. "The doctor in the mansion is a man, so it would be inconvenient for him to come. I need to check Xin'er's wound first."
The second old lady nodded repeatedly: "You are very thoughtful. I won't go in for now."
Although Yun Qiu was a little worried, Hu Xin'er gave her a look, indicating that she should wait outside.
Then, Chen looked at Liu Yanchuo and scolded him, "Do you really like to watch the fun? What are you doing here? Hurry and carry him back."
The last sentence was said to the maids. These maids knew that Liu Yanchuo was fooling around, but they ignored his health in order to please him. They held all kinds of snacks and fruits in their hands, ready to please Master Liu at any time.
But most of these people were sent by the second old lady, and Chen couldn't say much in front of the second old lady.
She closed the door and the window, then carefully checked Hu Xiner's wound.
Then, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's just a little red, not really hurt. I'll let the doctor check my pulse and take care of the fetus later."
The door was opened, and the second old lady immediately ran over, constantly comforting Hu Xiner: "Don't worry, my dear, the doctor will be here soon, ah!"
Hu Xin'er took advantage of her injury, pretending to be weak while holding her belly, and asked about the basement: "Aunt, Grandma, don't we have two storehouses at home? Why is the old lady so angry?"
Chen was stunned: "What do you mean by two warehouses?"
The second old lady's expression was obviously wrong: "Where did you hear such words?"
Hu Xin'er had no choice but to make up a story, "I heard about it from my friends before I came here. They all said that the Liu family is a noble family. The storehouses in the mansion alone have an inner storehouse and a basement storehouse, filled with countless treasures. The old lady is so stingy that she won't even give this!"
Chen was immediately amused and confused: "Silly girl, you dare to believe hearsay? If our Liu family was really that rich, we wouldn't have been in such a mess!"
The second old lady, however, put on a rare stern face and said, "Your friend doesn't look like a serious person. You should stay out of his way."
Chen was so focused on taking care of Hu Xiner that she didn't pay attention to her mother-in-law's expression. She just thought that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood because she had lost face.
She agreed: "Indeed, people who talk nonsense like this can't be friends."
Hu Xin'er nodded obediently: "Yeah, I see. So this is the situation in the Liu Mansion."
"Don't worry too much." The second old lady sighed, "Chen, apply the medicine to Xin'er. I'm a little tired."
Although Chen didn't like the people in the main house, she was able to follow basic etiquette, so she sent the second old lady to the door and said, "Don't worry, go back and recuperate first."
Just because of Hu Xiner's simple test, the second old lady's mood changed drastically. She went from looking at her beloved granddaughter with tears in her eyes to turning around and leaving.
Hu Xiner concluded that the second old lady must know something!
Then her next goal is undoubtedly to trick her into talking.
Although this seemed a bit unkind, she only needed to look into the basement, which would not cause any harm to the people in the Liu Mansion, so she did not feel any psychological burden.
She thought about it carefully and realized that her weakness as a grandmother should be her only daughter, Hu Xiner's biological mother.
Well, maybe we can start from this place.
