When Lei Ting turned his head, he felt someone was looking at him, but he only saw a carriage passing by in front of him. Judging from the decorations on the carriage, it should be for female relatives. He frowned and looked away.
Liu Gui chased after him, stopping a step away from him, and whispered, "Master, the Liu family's people passed through Hejian Prefecture yesterday and should arrive tomorrow. Do you think we should send someone to pick them up first?"
There was no expression on Lei Ting's cold face: "Did they send someone to pick us up?"
Liu Gui glanced at his master and said carefully, "No."
Lei Ting twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was no trace of a smile on his face. Liu Gui couldn't help but lower his head.
"Since the guests didn't greet us, no one would appreciate it even if you sent someone." Lei Ting's voice was emotionless.
"Yes." Liu Gui didn't dare to say anything else, and even regretted what he had just said.
Others didn't know how the lady went, but as Lei Ting's confidant, he knew it very well.
The Liu family was instructed to secretly send people to Yanbei, intending to expose the identity of the Grand Madam. The Grand Madam's official identity was the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, a prominent family that had fallen into decline decades ago due to her involvement in palace struggles and the anger of the late emperor.
I originally thought that the Liu family had been killed or fled, but unexpectedly, there were still a few who slipped through the net. It is said that the people who came this time were sisters from the same generation as the old lady.
Fortunately, the Lei family got the news in advance and was not caught off guard. However, in order to protect the Lei family...
The lady was a resolute and resolute person, and by the time Lei Ting realized something was wrong and rushed to stop her, it was already too late.
"Where is Pan'er now?" Lei Ting suddenly asked, and there was finally some emotion in his voice.
Liu Gui said quickly, "The young lady is in the Second Master's courtyard. When the Second Master is not in the courtyard, she will be taken care of by the wet nurse and several maids in the Second Master's room. Please rest assured, Master."
Lei Ting nodded.
Liu Gui glanced at Lei Ting and said carefully, "Master, Miss Yue Gui went to pick up the young lady several times, saying that she wanted to take her to your courtyard to take care of her, but the young lady refused."
Lei Ting frowned: "Yue Gui? The maid who served Afu before?"
"Yes, sir. Miss Laurel has stayed in the yard since the mistress passed away. She is usually in charge of the yard's accounts."
"Since she is someone close to the Madam, give her a generous dowry after the mourning period." Lei Ting said casually.
Lei Ting never asked about such matters in the inner courtyard. He only brought it up because it was an old friend of his deceased wife.
Liu Gui glanced at Lei Ting, understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement without saying anything.
Although the old lady had suggested that the master take Yuegui as his concubine when she was still alive, it was obvious that the master did not take it seriously. Now that the old lady has passed away and the master has to observe mourning, he will not consider such a thing even more.
Although Liu Gui felt that it would be better if there was a woman who could take charge of the affairs in the master's courtyard at this time. After the departure of the lady, the Lei family did not even have someone who could take charge of the inner courtyard. This was also the reason why he did not expose Yue Gui's thoughts even though he knew it clearly.
