A trace of regret appeared on Zhang Mingde's face. He slowly turned his head, looked at Liu Suhe, and said softly:
"Su He, please accept my condolences regarding your father's matter. From today on, this is your home. Your aunt Lin and I will take good care of you as if you were our own child!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Suhe raised her head, her gaze first falling on Zhang Mingde, and then turning to his wife Lin who was sitting on the main seat. She respectfully bowed to each of them in turn.
However, in response to Liu Suhe's greeting, Lin only nodded slightly and said nothing more. Zhang Mingde on the side quickly continued:
"Su He, you must be exhausted after traveling all the way here. Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while. I will introduce you to my two brothers at home at lunch time. Someone, please take Miss Liu to her room!"
As Zhang Mingde finished his words, a maid dressed in emerald green clothes came up quickly in small steps and made an inviting gesture towards Liu Suhe.
Liu Suhe looked up, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves, but soon regained her composure. Then, she nodded slightly, turned around and walked quickly out the door with Xiaoqing.
After Liu Suhe and Xiaoqing's figures gradually walked away until they disappeared, Zhang Mingde slowly turned around and faced Lin. At this moment, his originally kind face instantly became flattering, and he smiled and flattered Lin:
"Madam, look at this woman. She is really pretty. I wonder if Qingsheng and Qingyang will like her?"
After saying that, he slowly raised his right hand and began to rub it gently back and forth. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, as if he was savoring the softness he had just touched Liu Suhe.
At this moment, Lin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:
"Stop grinning there, and hurry up and arrange the next matters! I'm going to go see our son now, and we must handle everything properly within the next few days. Whether it's the Liu family's property or his beautiful daughter, we must do everything we can to get them all!"
After hearing what his wife said, Zhang Mingde nodded quickly to show that he understood, then quickly turned around and began to arrange the follow-up matters in a hurried pace.
At the same time, Liu Suhe and Xiaoqing were led by the maid through the winding corridors and finally came to a quiet courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, the first thing that caught their eyes was the ground that had been swept clean by the servants without any trace of snow.
Then they pushed open the door and were greeted by a warm and pleasant heat - it turned out that the fire in the house was burning brightly, filling the whole room with comfortable warmth.
Liu Suhe looked around the strange house curiously, her eyes swept across the delicate carved window lattices, and then fell on the antique tables and chairs. Her heart couldn't help but surge with a slight ripple.
"Miss Liu, if you need anything, just call me loudly. Then, I will take my leave first."
The little maid bowed respectfully and spoke softly. Then, she carefully stepped back a few steps until she was out of the room and gently closed the door.
It was not until he heard the dull sound of the door closing outside the yard that Liu Suhe breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked to the bedside with a slightly tired look, sat down lightly, and looked at everything around her with empty eyes. She looked dazed and at a loss.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing, who was standing by, tensed up and hurried over. She took two steps at a time and came to Liu Suhe's side, then carefully sat down beside him.
Then, Xiaoqing leaned forward slightly, stretched out a slender hand as white as jade, gently held Liu Suhe's slightly cold jade hand, and comforted her in an extremely gentle tone:
"Miss, in my opinion, this Mr. Zhang is definitely not a good person! Especially the way he looks at you, it really makes people feel extremely disgusted!"
Liu Suhe listened quietly to Xiaoqing's words. Her long and slender fingers moved slightly, as if responding to Xiaoqing. Then, Liu Suhe opened her red lips and said softly:
"Yeah, I think so, actually. And not only that, the entire Zhang family gives me a weird, very wrong feeling."
Hearing her young lady's words, Xiaoqing couldn't help but frown, and a hint of retreat flashed across her eyes. Obviously, Xiaoqing was full of disappointment about this so-called new home.
In the vast Chu State, there is a remote town called Xinrong City. In this town, the Liu Mansion is well-known, and its owner Liu Yanwen is highly respected. Liu Yanwen started his business by selling salt in his early years. With his shrewdness and honesty, he gradually accumulated a huge fortune.
Not only that, he is also kind-hearted and helpful, often donating generously to help those in difficult circumstances, so he enjoys extremely high prestige and reputation in Xinrong City.
Liu Yanwen had one wife and one concubine in his life. His first wife, Wang, was gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous. She gave birth to a daughter for him, named Liu Suhe.
