Chapter 735 Returning Home Successfully
Old Madam Liu stood nervously at the door, trying to delay time, but she could only hear the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away.
The guard looked outside and cried out, "Madam, this is bad! I don't know where that lunatic got the news from, but he's actually heading in the direction Miss Qingyi ran."
Everyone in the Liu Mansion immediately fell into chaos again. The old lady banged her cane and shouted, "Quick, quick, protect my granddaughter."
"Send more people over, quickly!" No matter how strong Liu Zhi usually is, he can only wipe his tears now. He really hates himself for not learning martial arts when he was young, otherwise he would definitely beat the madman Zhao Si to death on the spot.
Just when the Liu family was in chaos, the guard at the back door gave a wink and quietly sent Liu Yanchao and others out.
Liu Yanchuo wiped his sweat and said, "Thank you, brothers."
If it weren't for the help of these insiders, it would not have been so easy for him to transport the old man out.
"We've received the old master's kindness, and we simply can't stand to see those people's dirty deeds." One of the guards said this and spat, "Those hired servants dare not speak out, but we are just hired servants. We don't intend to work here anymore. After today, we will leave."
The situation was urgent and it was inconvenient to say more. After leaving a bag of gold and silver, Liu Yanchao got on the carriage and hurried to the Liu Mansion.
In the carriage, the old man, smelling of feces and urine, looked haggard, and his fingertips trembled slightly with the shaking of the carriage.
"Cousin, has he successfully picked up the person?" Hu Xiner was completely relieved after hearing the news.
Large-scale riots are not allowed in the capital, so ordinary people cannot easily go to other people's homes to kidnap people. Even if the Liu family finds out that the old man is missing, they can only bear this loss and cannot take the old man back.
It was not until two days later that the Liu family discovered that their old grandfather was missing.
"How could this happen?" Liu Qingyi had been seriously ill since that night and now lay on the bed crying. "I finally taught that lunatic Zhao Si a lesson, and I don't know what that bitch is going to do to me. Why did my grandfather disappear again at this moment?"
"Cry, cry, cry! Your head hurts!" Liu Zhi said angrily. "If your grandfather came back to settle the score after regaining consciousness, our whole family would be finished. We should have let Zhao Si kidnap you back then. It would have been better for you to be killed in the chaos."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Qingyi cried even harder: "Mom, what should we do?"
Old Lady Liu also came over. The three of them knew what would happen to their family if the old man was taken away by an outsider.
Old Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Except for the Second Branch, no one will take Old Master away in the chaos. We will go to his house now, even if we have to rob him!"
But when they arrived at Liu's house, they found that the door was locked and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Eighteen burly guards stood outside, their bodies emitting cold air. "My master said no outsiders are allowed to enter these days."
Liu Zhi frowned and lifted the carriage curtain. "Ever since the second branch split up, they've been so arrogant! Now they're giving Old Madam a hard time? Call your master out to answer. According to seniority, he still has to call Old Madam Mother!"
With just a few words, she put herself on the moral high ground, but the guards ignored her and kept their mouths shut, refusing to argue.
This was also what Hu Xin'er had instructed—if you can't win the argument, then don't speak, so as not to give them something to talk about. As for the rest, let them say whatever they want, as long as we don't meet.
This trick really worked, and Old Lady Liu could only get out of the car with a green face: "Do I really have to ask to see your master? Aren't you really afraid of shortening your life?"
Liu Zhi pretended to wipe away her tears: "Mother, how can you say that? His second wife is prosperous now, but she can't deny you as her mother."
At this time, the people next door heard the noise and opened the door curiously. When they saw it was them, they slammed the door shut again.
Everyone in the capital city knew that when Old Master Liu was in good health, he could take good care of his family, but when he fell ill, all kinds of monsters and demons came out.
Liu Zhi, who had been trying to use the neighbors' gossip, froze in his tracks. He simply gave up pretending and shouted, "What is your intention in taking advantage of the chaos to seize the old master?"
At this time, a man walked out from the door. It was Liu Yanchuo.
He was surprised and said, "What's going on? Haven't you two always looked down on my second wife's poverty? Why are you now so arrogant as to come to my doorstep and make a scene?"
He was retaliating, returning all the sarcasm Liu Zhi had said that day.
"Liu Yanchuo!" Liu Zhi shouted angrily, "Don't think that just because you're the only male in the family, I won't dare touch you. Hand over the old man now!"
"Aunt, you're joking. The main house was in chaos that day, and it was my grandfather who asked me to bring him to my house for recuperation." Liu Yanchuo just smiled faintly.
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Madam Liu raised her cane tremblingly. "Your grandfather is clearly unconscious in bed. Why would he let you take him over?"
When Liu Yanchuo mentioned his grandfather's illness, his eyes suddenly became sharp. "Oh? Are you so sure that my grandfather won't wake up?"
His voice turned cold, and the eighteen men, as if receiving instructions, turned their fierce eyes to look at Liu's mother and daughter.
Not to mention two weak women, even a martial artist would probably feel nervous under such a gaze.
Liu Zhi softened his tone: "Anyway, let's go in first."
She exchanged glances with the old lady. Liu Yanchuo seemed quiet on weekdays, but at critical moments he was more cunning than his father.
If they could directly subdue Lord Liu, the eldest wife wouldn't have to worry about not being able to take Old Master Liu away.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yanchuo said without blinking, "What a coincidence! The family recently asked a Feng Shui master to do a divination. Based on your two horoscopes, if you enter the mansion, I'm afraid you will offend the old man."
Inside the Liu Mansion, Hu Xiner drank tea calmly.
Madam Liu's eyes were filled with worry. "Can Chuo'er handle this out there? Those two women are like tigers. How can he possibly fend them off?"
Lord Liu stood up suddenly: "No, I'd better go and take a look."
But when he reached the door of the room, he was stopped by Mu Qing.
He could only ask helplessly: "Xin'er, what are your plans? Can't I even go and take a look?"
"No." Hu Xin'er shook her head. "Just trust your cousin. He must have more experience than you in dealing with villains."
After all, Liu Yanchuo had once faced the prince directly, and she had great confidence in this cheap cousin.
Mu Qing spread his hands towards Lord Liu and said, "If there's really nothing else to do, why don't you hand over the evidence to me first?"
Lord Liu was stunned for a moment: "Now we can take the old man back home, and we'll settle the payment. If anything happens later..."
"Don't worry," Hu Xin'er said cheerfully, "If anything goes wrong, we'll take full responsibility."
