In this life, Liu Yu is still the eldest son of the Duke's mansion and the Empress's nephew. Although he has not yet married, he already has a large number of concubines in his harem. The Duchess wants Shen Yu to be Liu Yu's first wife, but unfortunately, Shen Yu will not marry anyone but Bai Yehua.
At this moment, Chen Yu pressed her folding fan against Liu Yu's chest, and Bai Yehua, naturally jealous, glared at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was flattered and lowered his head, his cheeks flushed. He stood up, but before he could straighten up, Bai Yehua rushed over and pushed him out, saying, "Young Master Liu, come with me to the study."
"stop!"
Madam Bai stopped the two and strode over to Liu Yu, pouring out her grievances, "Since Young Master Liu is here, he can be a witness. My son Ye Hua has waited for Mu Chenyu for two years, and the Mu family actually proposed to annul the engagement? This kind of unrighteous and heartless behavior has forced my Bai family to take Mu Chenyu to the county government..."
Liu Yu pondered, "Should we take the matter of annulling the engagement to the county government? If Bai Yehua's affair with keeping a dancer is exposed, wouldn't that damage the Bai family's reputation?" He glanced at Bai Yehua, winking and giving him a well-intentioned reminder, but Bai Yehua raised an eyebrow and glared at him, issuing a warning.
Indeed, what noble young master isn't prone to romantic escapades? He wanted to save face for Bai Yehua, and mainly wanted to help Chen Yu and Bai Yehua smoothly annul their engagement. He leaned closer to Madam Bai and whispered:
"Young Master Bai is secretly keeping a young dancer. Presumably, when this comes to light, Miss Chenyu will cause such a scene. If this matter goes to the county government, wouldn't it damage the Bai family's reputation?"
Madam Bai instantly flew into a rage, slapped Bai Yehua across the face, and stormed off.
This scene left Master Mu dumbfounded.
Shen Yu understood immediately; the reason for this must be that Liu Yu had told Madam Bai about Liu Yao'er.
Liu Yu's mother was Jia Liangyu's aunt. The two cousins were classmates with Bai Yehua and often played at the Jia mansion, so they naturally knew each other's shortcomings.
When Liu Yu exposed his secret, Bai Yehua was not about to back down. He glared at Liu Yu and sneered, "Are the two maids beside Young Master Liu of marriageable age?"
"A maidservant getting married?"
Master Mu was suspicious. Seeing Liu Yu blushing and silent with his head down, he pushed Chen Yu away quickly.
------
When the Mu family left the Bai residence, it was already broad daylight.
As Mu Li drove the carriage, a woman suddenly staggered forward, stopped the carriage, and knelt on the ground.
The woman said, "Master Mu, Miss Chenyu, please take Hongyu away. Hongyu is willing to serve Miss Chenyu for the rest of her life."
