Chapter 471 He was abandoned by her
Ma Tao'er quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Young Master, that's your father. Go back and apologize to him. Maybe he was just saying it in anger."
Young Master Liu shook his head. "It's no use. My older brother is coming back. My father knows I was the one who seriously injured him. Even if I don't leave, the Liu family won't tolerate me."
Ma Tao'er stood there, stunned, her eyes becoming vacant.
Yesterday, she was still fantasizing about going from a concubine to the principal wife, and then becoming the wife of the Liu family. Once Master Liu and Madam Wei died, she would be the matriarch of the Liu family.
And now, she's actually going to wander the streets with Young Master Liu, who's been kicked out of his home.
She began to regret it; she should have never gone to the Liu family to become a concubine.
Young Master Liu noticed her pale face and assumed she was worried about the money.
He immediately pulled out three or four gold ingots from his pocket and said, "Tao'er, look, I secretly brought some gold with me when I came out. It's enough for us to buy a house and a piece of land and live a peaceful life."
Just as Young Master Liu said, so much silver is enough for them to live on.
But this wasn't the life Ma Tao'er wanted; she wanted a life where she had maids and servants to wait on her.
Ma Tao'er glanced at Jinzi with a sullen face, then turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
Young Master Liu had not yet noticed anything amiss. Leaving the Liu residence was too sudden, and he felt it was normal for Ma Tao'er to be emotional.
However, Ma Tao'er has feelings for him and will definitely stand by him through thick and thin.
Young Master Liu reached out and pulled Ma Tao'er into his arms, thinking about their future life together.
The carriage headed towards the capital.
The two had traveled for a whole day and were about to leave Qingzhou Prefecture.
Young Master Liu slept fitfully all night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that Ma Tao'er was gone.
"Tao'er? Tao'er? Where are you?"
Young Master Liu stepped out of the carriage and called out to those around him.
Apart from the groom, no one else was seen.
The coachman said to Young Master Liu, "Young Master, the young mistress just went into the woods to relieve herself."
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief. "I see. Then we'll wait here."
"Yes, young master."
Young Master Liu got into the carriage and continued to wait, but he didn't see Ma Tao'er return even after waiting all day.
He looked out of the carriage and felt something was wrong. He quickly reached into his pocket and found that his gold had disappeared.
"Where is my gold? Where did my gold go?"
Young Master Liu immediately panicked.
"It was her? She took my gold?" He was startled and quickly jumped down from the carriage, asking the coachman, "Which way did the young mistress go just now?"
The coachman pointed into the woods, "Go that way!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu immediately ran in the direction he pointed.
However, it was too late.
He chased after her for more than ten miles, but he couldn't find Ma Tao'er. She had already run away with his gold.
Young Master Liu slumped to the ground in despair, unable to believe that the woman who had been so gentle and kind to him had run off with his gold.
Ma Tao'er then took his gold, found a carriage, and embarked on the road to the capital.
She refused to believe that her life was destined to be nothing more than being a servant.
She was determined to marry into a wealthy family and become a lady.
The proud and arrogant Ma Tao'er looked at the gold in her hand and felt a little happy. Although she did not become the wife of the Liu family, it was not too bad to get this gold.
She hurried on her way happily, completely forgetting about Young Master Liu.
After searching for Ma Tao'er all the way, Young Master Liu returned to find the carriage gone.
Seeing that he hadn't returned for a long time, the coachman drove the carriage back to the city.
Penniless, Young Master Liu could only wander around and eventually arrived in Yue County outside Qingzhou Prefecture by begging.
The magistrate of Yue County had a young daughter.
The youngest daughter saw that the beggar was quite handsome and wanted him to come into the mansion as a servant.
Young Master Liu was naturally unwilling, but the magistrate of Yue County doted on his youngest daughter and had Young Master Liu tied up and brought into the mansion.
Because she was the young lady who took care of the county magistrate's family, the magistrate cut ties with her completely to avoid unnecessary trouble.
What Young Master Liu was so proud of just a few days ago was thrown to the dogs by those two executioners.
He wanted to escape from the magistrate's mansion, but he couldn't. He could only obediently become a eunuch and serve the people in the mansion every day.
The Liu family learned of his news a month later.
However, Master Liu did not send anyone to bring him back. This son had already broken his heart, so he treated him as if he had no son at all.
Madam Wei fell seriously ill and could not get out of bed. She wanted to bring her son back, but was stopped by Master Liu. Later, she had difficulty breathing and became so ill that she almost lost her skin.
After learning about this, Xiao Liu's resentment of many years lessened considerably.
"Young Liu, I've noticed that Master Liu has come several times already. Do you want to go back to the Liu residence?"
Du Wanchun asked him.
Xiao Liu looked up and smiled, "It's time to go back. My mother wants to see me get married and have children."
