When Aunt Liu heard what Madam Wei said, she couldn't help but let out a sneer from her lowered eyes.
More than twenty years.
If there is no other choice, you can still deceive yourself.
But now, there is clearly another better choice, but she still chooses to do it for that idiot, and keeps talking about orthodoxy. I'm afraid she has forgotten her original purpose, and her selfishness has blinded her eyes.
That's the case.
Then let her complete the great cause of the late Lord!
"Yes, old lady. I understand."
Nanny Liu appeared respectful and obedient.
Same as before.
I have really made up my mind.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei felt relieved.
Only then did she come back and say, "A Liu, have someone arrange it. Lian'er wants Jin'er to pass the imperial examination, so let her do as she wishes."
Aunt Liu lowered her head and nodded: "Yes."
"Go ahead."
Madam Wei was also a little tired. After Nanny Liu left, she asked her personal maid to help her into the inner room.
But as soon as she entered the house, she noticed something was wrong.
"You guys get out."
After sending the maid away, Madam Wei quickly walked over to the Buddha painting in the room. Upon closer inspection, she could vaguely see that the incense burner on the altar table had been tampered with...
Someone broke into her house?
Madam Wei's expression changed slightly, and she immediately had Liu Ye called in: "Liu Ye, has anyone entered my room today?"
Liu Ye thought of the old man.
Just as she was about to speak, she thought of the words the old master left behind when he left, and subconsciously changed her words: "Madam, today I noticed some dust in the house, so I asked someone to come in and clean it up. I was watching the whole time."
She did have it cleaned.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's brows relaxed slightly. "Next time, don't let anyone come in and mess around or sweep the house without my permission."
"yes."
"Okay, get out."
After Liu Ye left, Madam Wei had someone close the door and guard it while she went into the secret room to check...
"What does the old lady want you to do in there?"
After Liu Ye came out, Aunt Liu pulled her to a corner and asked in a low voice.
Liu Ye looked at her mother, and for some reason, she lied to her mother. "The old lady told me to keep a close eye on the servants in the future and not to enter her room casually."
Aunt Liu misunderstood, thinking that Madam Wei was starting to be wary of her, and couldn't help but sneer, "It seems she still doubts me."
Looking at her mother who was sneering continuously, Liu Ye felt inexplicably chilled in her heart.
I couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are you and the old lady really going to separate?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu looked at Liu Ye.
There was a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Ye'er, mother knows what you are worried about."
"Don't worry, as long as you help the master complete the plan of reviving the business, mother will definitely let the third young master marry you in a formal way, rather than just letting you be a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage."
Marry in a formal ceremony?
It’s not that Liu Ye hasn’t been tempted.
But after hearing it so many times, she woke up from her dream.
What is her identity!
What is the identity of the third young master?
Even if her mother's plan came to fruition, what would become of the old lady? What would become of the Wei family? Wouldn't the Third Young Master really blame her then?
Seeing Liu Ye remained silent, Aunt Liu couldn't help but frown: "Ye'er, what's wrong?"
Liu Ye quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay, mother. I just feel that... the new owner you chose won't be much smarter. Just look at the current situation of the Shen family. I'm just worried that your hopes will be dashed again."
"Won't."
Aunt Liu seemed very confident, and there was even a hint of viciousness in her eyes that even Liu Ye couldn't understand: "Because I'm not the old lady, I won't be as slow and lenient as she is..."

"Who are you?"
Wei Yaer had been locked up in this dark secret room for several days. When she saw the woman suddenly appear, she couldn't help but become alert.
The woman is very charming.
Looking at the way she is dressed so fancy, it is obvious that she is not the daughter of a good family.
Wei Yaer's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
I thought I was caught in a brothel.
As if she could see what Wei Yaer was thinking, the woman covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Don't be afraid, young lady. This is not a brothel, and I am not a dirty whore. However, I do know some things to please people, and there are some other things. I came here specifically to teach you..."
What?
Wei Yaer was a little confused.
at the same time.
The carriages and horses of the Eighth Prince Cheng Wang, who had been summoned back to the capital, were also slowly approaching the capital...
"Your Majesty, news just arrived from Huaibei City."
Li Rui handed a rolled-up letter to Cheng Wang Mochen.
Mo Chen was cutting the barbecue slices one by one with a knife, eating elegantly while drinking the strong liquor in the cup.
"Read it."
Upon hearing this, Li Rui unfolded the letter.
But as soon as he saw it, his expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness, the letter said that there are some rumors in Huaibei City... saying that you are secretly raising private soldiers and secretly colluding with the Xiongnu..."
Mo Chen paused holding the knife.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the knife in his hand. It was a small, sharp, slightly curved hook knife with a lifelike wolf head carved on the handle.
This is his trophy.
Huaibei City is not a border city, but it is very close to the border, and it is also close to the southern border of the Xiongnu area. On the west side, it is close to several small barbaric countries, so Huaibei City can also be regarded as a transit trade hub city.
The wolf-head knife in his hand was won from a bet with a Xiongnu merchant.
"Apart from these, is there anything else?"
After Mo Chen closed his eyes, he continued to cut a piece of meat with the small knife in his hand. He picked up the piece of meat elegantly and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly...
The whole person was extremely calm.
"That's all the information in the letter, but..." Li Rui thought for a moment, then leaned over to Mo Chen's ear and whispered, "I overheard the eunuchs who came to deliver the imperial edict discussing privately, saying that Your Majesty..."
