Chapter 621 Banxia secretly helps the eldest wife of the Liu family
After the nanny left, Liu Zhicheng and Madam Liu returned to their own courtyard.
The Liu family is large and prosperous, and both the side branches and the main lineage live in this area. As the saying goes, a big tree has many branches.
The Liu family now seems to be connected as one, but each branch has become its own mansion with several houses.
However, the direct descendant of the Liu family is Liu Zhicheng, and their current residence is the core area of the entire Liu family. Although Liu Zhicheng and his wife do not live in Dezhou all year round, the location of the main courtyard has always been reserved for them.
After returning to the yard, Mrs. Liu immediately sent away the servants.
She has lived in the capital city all year round. The servants in the Liu family mansion in Dezhou are all Madam Liu's people. She is worried about them, so she brought only five servants with her this time, four maids, a midwife, and Liu Shiyu's two maids. The mother and daughter only brought seven servants in total. Now two more are locked up, and the staff seems a little thin.
After Madam Liu sent all the servants away, the huge courtyard seemed empty.
Banxia had already sneaked into Madam Liu's yard. Although the lights were on in the yard, no one was walking around.
Banxia hid herself, she wanted to know what happened to the Liu family?
Soon, the nanny came with Yinqiao.
When Banxia saw people being brought into the house, she jumped directly onto the roof and untied the bricks and tiles. She could clearly see everyone below.
As soon as Yinqiao entered the warm room, she knelt on the ground.
"Madam, someone wants to harm Miss."
Although Madam Liu was mentally prepared, she still felt a pang in her heart when she heard Yin Qiao say this. Someone really wanted to harm her daughter!
"Yinqiao, tell me everything you know." Madam Liu sat sideways on the couch, one hand tightly gripping the edge of the low table, the other hand clenched into a fist and placed on her knees, her eyes flashing with anger.
"Yes, Madam, there are many people on the bridge today. It was the son of the prefect who suggested that we recite poems together. Because the arch bridge is at a higher position, we can see most of the scenery of Qinxiang Garden clearly, so we gathered on the arch bridge. But just after we finished reciting a few poems, the flower boat of Qinxiang Garden came out, and everyone rushed to see the flower boat. Miss was not standing at the edge. When the flower boat came out, I don't know why Miss was suddenly pushed away. I wanted to pull Miss, but someone pulled me from behind, and I was pushed out of the crowd."
Yin Qiao replied while recalling.
"Yinqiao, don't be afraid. What you said is very important. Think back slowly. Who was around you and the young lady at that time?"
Mrs. Liu had adjusted her mindset by now.
"Madam, I remember it clearly. It was Jin Qiao, the Second Young Miss, and the two maids beside the Second Young Miss, Leng Yue and Leng Yun. After the Young Miss fell into the water, I was ready to jump in to save her. It was Jin Qiao who pulled me to find someone to rescue her. At that time, the Second Young Miss and her two maids looked panicked, but they did not call for help."
After Yin Qiao finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong with the situation. She was in a hurry at the time and did not pay attention to so many details. Now thinking back, it seemed that the second young lady was standing closest to the young lady.
"Liu Shiya?" Madam Liu was a little incredulous. She had never doubted Liu Shiya. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the second house and it was impossible for her to have any conflicts with her daughter. Every year when they came back from the capital, Liu Shiya would prepare gifts for them and she got along well with her daughter.
Liu Shiyu told her more than once that she would help Liu Shiya find a marriage in the capital.
She didn't know that Liu Shiya had such a vicious side.
"Yinqiao, go back to the woodshed first and don't say anything to Jinqiao. If she asks, just say you know nothing."
"Madam, do you suspect Sister Jin Qiao...?"
"Well, it better not be, or I'll teach this little hoof a lesson."
Yinqiao stood up and prepared to leave, but Madam Liu seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Yinqiao, do you know who saved the young lady today?"
Madam Liu now had to prepare for the worst. She absolutely could not marry her daughter to the old lady's nephew.
"Madam, I know it was General Wan, the Lieutenant Colonel of Dezhou. I heard the general's sister shouting in the crowd, and many people heard it."
Madam Liu frowned slightly when she heard this. "General of the Central Army of Dezhou?" She didn't know him. As a woman in the back house, she didn't know much about the affairs of the court. It seemed that she had to ask her husband about this matter. But did this General of the Central Army of Dezhou marry? She didn't know anything about his family background and character. It seemed that she had to investigate it carefully.
Thinking of this, Madam Liu waved her hand and asked someone to take Yin Qiao away.
As soon as Yinqiao was taken away, Madam Liu immediately sent people to search their residence.
The two maids are Liu Shiyu's personal maids. They usually serve Liu Shiyu. They usually live in the ear room next to Liu Shiyu's boudoir.
"Mammy, you must immediately lead people to search the room where Jinqiao and Yinqiao live. Whatever you find, bring it to me immediately."
She didn't believe that Jin Qiao, this little bitch, would become the master of the house for no reason. Someone must have given her benefits, perhaps gold or silver, or someone else might have promised her something, otherwise she couldn't afford the consequences of becoming the master of the house.
According to what Yinqiao said just now, Jinqiao was standing a little behind her at the time, so the person who pulled her must be Jinqiao.
Mrs. Liu was so angry that her teeth were itching. She really had raised an ungrateful person.
Banxia followed the nanny out of the main courtyard and headed towards Liu Shiyu's courtyard.
Liu Shiyu's yard was not far from Madam Liu's yard and could be reached in a quarter of an hour.
Because Liu Shiyu's two maids were imprisoned, the person serving Liu Shiyu at this time was sent by the second wife, who is now the person in charge of the Liu family's household affairs.
The nanny brought people to search Jinqiao and Yinqiao's residence, and someone immediately went to inform the second lady.
Banxia rolled her eyes, stopped the man, knocked him unconscious and threw him into the bushes.
She felt that the young lady valued Miss Liu so much that she asked her to deliver the prescription in the middle of the night, which showed that Miss Liu must be very important to her young lady.
Then she must help Miss Liu and not let this servant do anything bad.
Banxia dealt with the servant who leaked the information, and when she returned, she saw that the nanny had already brought people out of Jinqiao and Yinqiao's room.
"Mammy, you come to the young lady's yard so late and search the room. Is there something wrong?" The maid who was temporarily assigned to serve Liu Shiyu came forward and asked.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. This is our eldest wife's private matter. You'd better not interfere." The nanny scolded the maid and left with her.
"Sister Xiao He, should we go and inform the Second Madam right away?"
"I've already sent someone there. You all should just do your part and not cause any more trouble."
"yes."
After the nanny left, Banxia knocked out all the servants in the yard and swaggered into Liu Shiyu's room.
Liu Shiyu must have taken some medicine at night and was sleeping soundly at this moment.
Banxia walked over and felt Liu Shiyu's breathing and found it was normal. She felt a little strange. How could such a delicate young lady not catch a cold after falling into the water in such weather?
What Banxia didn't know was that Fubao had already anticipated this, so he prepared a medicinal bath for Liu Shiyu. After taking the medicinal bath, Liu Shiyu not only had stronger resistance, but was also able to drive away the cold.
