My parents said that if it weren't for the property deeds and house deeds of the Miaoyin Liu family, they would have killed this mother and daughter long ago.
We wouldn't let them live to this day!
When Liu Miaoyu said this, Liu Ying couldn't help but look up at Liu Yuanliang lying on the bed.
He really forgot, thinking that since he also had the surname Liu, this huge Liu family estate belonged to her.
"Oh? Is that so? I find it laughable too? You're just some bastard that Zou Wenjun got from who-knows-where, yet you call him 'Father' so affectionately. Do you think Miaoyin sees that your father is sick, yet you're still swaggering around here!"
Liu Ying sneered.
Only then did Liu Miaoyu notice that Liu Yuanliang was lying on the bed, unable to move.
Liu Miaoyu rushed to the bedside and called out "Father!" repeatedly.
Seeing that Liu Yuanliang had not woken up, she turned to Liu Ying and her daughter Liu Miaoyu with a furious expression and questioned them, "What have you done to my father!"
As for Liu Ying saying she was a bastard, she didn't believe it at all!
It must be those two vile mother and daughter deliberately spouting nonsense.
Once I've settled my mother's matter, I'll definitely teach those two a lesson.
"What do you mean we did something to your father? It's all because of your dear mother, who cheated on him in front of him and got caught, which is why she fainted from anger!" Liu Miaoyin said without any politeness.
Duan Hongfei was now embarrassed. He had been reading in his study when Liu Miaoyu summoned him and was unaware of what had happened.
At that time, Liu Miaoyu only told him that her mother had been framed by Liu Miaoyin and imprisoned.
Duan Hongfei immediately thought that if he helped Liu Yuanliang get Zou Wenjun out, he could probably get some money from Liu Yuanliang.
But unexpectedly, there was something like this involved.
Liu Miaoyu and Miaoyin were shocked that Liu Miaoyin would so ruthlessly expose this matter in front of Duan Hongfei.
She originally thought that Liu Miaoyin would definitely be wary of her father, after all, Duan Hongfei was the illegitimate son of the Prefect of Jiangdu.
It was Liu Yuanliang who secretly arranged for Liu Miaoyu to befriend Duan Hongfei, hoping to get on board with the powerful governor of Jiangdu.
But she never considered that even if Liu Miaoyin didn't say anything today, wouldn't others have?
Her mother's dissolute behavior was witnessed by countless people in Jiangdu.
Duan Hongfei strode towards Liu Miaoyu and whispered, "Tell me the truth, is what they said true?"
Liu Miaoyu stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.
Duan Hongfei instantly flew into a rage. Zou Wenjun had done such a shameful thing, and Liu Miaoyu had actually tricked him into coming along to be ashamed as her.
If he were unaware of this, he would likely be punished by his father, who was seeking enlightenment.
He was punished with family discipline for taking Liu Miaoyu as his concubine.
Now that Liu Miaoyu's mother has been arrested because of this, he will inevitably be punished by his family when he returns home.
“Young Master Duan, why bother asking her? Just go out now and ask anyone on the street, and they’ll probably be able to tell you a vivid story about what happened to Zou Wenjun today!” Liu Miaoyin said gloatingly.
Upon hearing this, Duan Hongfei was even more enraged!
Even so, Liu Miaoyu still wanted to save Zou Wenjun.
Even if I really rescue Zou Wenjun, Liu Yuanliang probably won't give me any benefits!
"What are you doing here making a fool of yourself! Come home with me!" Duan Hongfei shouted angrily.
They didn't get any benefits, and all they did was embarrass themselves by coming out.
After this incident, his reputation will likely be tarnished by Zou Wenjun!
Liu Miaoyu shook her head repeatedly, "I'm not going back. My father hasn't woken up yet! If I leave, who knows what this mother and daughter will do to my father!"
Duan Hongfei's mind raced. What Liu Miaoyu said was indeed true. If Liu Yuanliang was dead, it would definitely be Liu Ying and the Zhang family.
Liu Miaoyu was a concubine's daughter, yet she was made a concubine by him.
It will be impossible for them to benefit from the Liu family again in the future.
Although he was angry, he couldn't help but think about the benefits.
He immediately decided not to rush back.
Just as Liu Ying was thinking about how to clear her name, Liu Miaoyu unexpectedly came knocking on her door.
That saves us the trouble.
"Why aren't you calling a doctor for my father!" Liu Miaoyu shouted at Liu Ying and her mother when Duan Hongfei stopped forcing her to go back.
Liu Ying thought for a moment, then turned around and instructed her servants to fetch a doctor.
Not only did they call a doctor, but they also secretly instructed their servants to go the extra mile and invite some witnesses.
While the servants were out, Liu Miaoyu knelt before Liu Yuanliang and sobbed softly.
Liu Miaoyin and her daughter Liu Ying chatted and drank tea with Gu Lili and the other two.
Duan Hongfei stood in front of the bed, unsure whether to sit or stand.
The group of people naturally turned a blind eye to this.
Without Liu Ying and her daughter giving the order, the servants naturally dared not take it upon themselves to bring over the stools.
Duan Hongfei was seething with anger, while Liu Miaoyu was just crying and sobbing.
However, for the sake of his own interests, Duan Hongfei had no choice but to stand there.
As for Liu Miaoyu, we can deal with her when she gets home!
"Good son-in-law, where are you from? How old are you? Are your parents still alive?" Liu Ying asked Li Ershu with a loving expression.
Looking at Li Ershu's face, he seemed honest but not naive, which made Liu Ying quite fond of him.
Liu Miaoyin, standing to the side, was so embarrassed that she could barely lift her head.
However, she did not refute Liu Ying's words.
Li Ershu did indeed steal her embroidered ball, so logically he should be her husband.
Therefore, it's not surprising that Liu Ying addresses her in this way.
Li Ershu's face was also flushed red. He hadn't expected Liu Ying to call him son-in-law so directly.
He hurriedly tried to get up to answer the question, but Liu Ying stopped him.
"No need to be so polite, we're all family. There's no need to stand up to talk. Let's sit down and chat!"
Gu Lili couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. This trip to Jiangdu has been very fruitful.
Although the business partner hasn't been finalized yet, it's pretty much a done deal.
Most importantly, it seems that his second uncle has found his soulmate.
"Madam, I am from Donghai Town, Jiangbei Prefecture. I am nineteen years old this year. My parents are still alive. I have an older sister, an older brother, and a younger brother."
Li Ershu answered truthfully.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ershu continued, "My family has been farmers for generations."
As he said this, Li Ershu unconsciously lowered his voice.
It wasn't that he felt his background was particularly lowly; it was just that, in this respect, his status was far too different from Liu Miaoyin's.
They are truly mismatched and not a good match.
Liu Miaoyu, who was crying, couldn't help but sneer when she heard that Li Ershu was just a farmer.
"I thought you had married some great young master, but you're just a farmer! Hahaha, dressed so well, you're nothing but a lowly farmer toiling in the fields. I wonder if those clothes were taken from a dead man!"
