As for the second branch of the Liu family, Su Qiuya certainly knew that Aunt Qing would never let Liu Yuqin take care of her in her old age, and Su Qiuya did not expect Liu Yuqin to think about taking care of Aunt Qing in her old age.
"I'll come back occasionally." Aunt Qing looked at Su Qiuya's belly. "You'd better take care of yourself quickly. Don't be so busy all the time. You can't get pregnant. Now that you have a new shop and farm, you don't have to work anymore."
Concubine Qing wanted Su Qiuya to get pregnant quickly; only when she did would she feel at ease. Su Qiuya hadn't gotten pregnant yet, and Liu Yanbo wasn't willing to take a concubine. Concubine Qing worried that if Liu Yanbo waited until he was forty, it might be harder for the concubine to get pregnant.
"I still have to take care of it." Su Qiuya has been working for so long that she has never thought about taking a break.
Su Qiuya thought that if she had these things, she wouldn't have to work so long every day. She wanted to be like Liu Yulian, and open a shop like hers, open when she was in a good mood and close when she was in a bad mood.
But her shop must not be as good as Liu Yulian's, because Liu Yulian is well-known. Su Qiuya envied Liu Yulian very much. She often wondered if she had understood people like Qing Yi Niang earlier, then she would have been able to befriend Liu Yulian.
But forget it. Su Qiuya thought that if she had a good relationship with Liu Yulian, who knows what kind of trouble people like Aunt Qing would cause.
"Then go ahead," Liu Yanbo said. "It's better for you to go somewhere else. It'll save you from other worries. Once you're there, my second sister can help me propose marriage."
"Don't you miss your second sister?" Aunt Qing wanted to ask her son why he didn't miss her.
"She's willing to leave us," Liu Yanbo said. "My second sister was going to get married, and when we went to the northwest, she didn't seem reluctant to leave us."
“…” Aunt Qing was silent.
Aunt Qing could see that Liu Yanbo didn't care that much about his sister Liu Yuqin, nor did he care much about herself. She looked at Liu Yanbo again. The look in her son's eyes when he looked at Su Qiuya was so sincere. She had never seen her son care so much about someone.
Before Liu Yuqin left the capital, she went to see Madam Qin, the eldest young master. However, they still met outside, and Madam Qin still didn't dare let Liu Yuqin into the Qin family.
In the restaurant's private room, Liu Yuqin looked at the food on the table and thought that it would be difficult for her to eat the food in the capital again. She couldn't just come here for a meal, because it would cost so much time and money.
"I'm leaving." Liu Yuqin said.
"Okay." Madam Qin said, "It's better to leave early and not stay in the capital any longer."
"Why do you say that too?" Liu Yuqin said, "Why don't you think about me staying in the capital and thinking about my good things?"
"What's the point of you staying in the capital? Can you find a good family?" Madam Qin was afraid of what Liu Yuqin would say. "Look at those people with a slightly bad reputation. Their families just let them marry far away. They are still innocent. And you? You've been divorced twice. It's better for you to leave the capital."
Madam Qin was telling the truth, but when Liu Yuqin heard this, she felt that Madam Qin was mocking her.
“…” Liu Yuqin curled her lips.
Madam Qin knew Liu Yuqin wanted to stay in the capital. She knew Liu Yuqin was strong-willed and wanted to marry into a better family. But Liu Yuqin was a concubine's daughter, a concubine's daughter who had severed ties with the Marquis's mansion, and a woman who had been divorced twice. Liu Yuqin was no match for Liu Yulian.
Even I am not as good as Liu Yulian.
Madam Qin Dashao thought of what her husband had said. She was jealous of Liu Yulian.
"Liu Yulian can't be that nice to you." Liu Yuqin suddenly said this.
"We don't live under the same roof and don't see each other often, so why are you talking about this?" Madam Qin picked up the teacup, her eyes a little evasive.
Liu Yulian and Madam Qin were sisters from the same mother, but since Madam Qin had married out, they didn't have as many opportunities to interact. Madam Qin couldn't ask her younger sister to treat her well, and neither could anyone else ask their younger sister to do the same.
"I'm leaving now, and I won't say any more of these things anymore." Liu Yuqin said, "She can treat me like that, and even have her cousin suspended from work, so she can also..."
"Stop talking." Madam Qin Dashao stopped Liu Yuqin from continuing. She looked around and said, "My little sister will be coming of age this year. She will get married in the next one or two years. Why are you saying this?"
"Sis, if you don't want to hear it, then I won't say anything." Liu Yuqin said, "Whether I say it or not, things are what they are."
Liu Yuqin didn't say anything more. Madam Qin didn't want to listen. If she said anything, it would only make Madam Qin leave earlier.
At the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, Madam Qin came and stood in front of Liu Yulian.
"Your second sister is leaving the capital." said Mrs. Qin.
"She's not my second sister, she's your second sister." Liu Yulian said, "I don't recognize her."
Liu Yulian specifically emphasized this, why did Madam Qin Dashao come to her and talk about Liu Yuqin's affairs?
"Once she leaves the capital, she will not do stupid things in the future." Madam Qin Dashao seemed not to hear Liu Yulian's words.
"I don't know if she did anything foolish. You're quite foolish to tell me this today." Liu Yulian said, "Does it matter to me whether Liu Yuqin left the capital?"
"..." Madam Qin Dashao looked at Liu Yulian with a cold look. She really felt that her sister was too cold-hearted.
Forget it, now that her younger sister has become a princess, Madam Qin Dashao thinks she should stop saying those things.
Liu Yulian saw the disappointment in Madam Qin's eyes, but she didn't care whether Madam Qin was happy or not. "If you live with my parents, Big Sister can see me more often. When I get married and live in the princess's mansion, I'm afraid we'll see each other even less often. But maybe that's better. Distance makes beauty."
Madam Qin Dashao understood what Liu Yulian meant, but she felt a little embarrassed. My younger sister didn't say she would cut off contact with her, but she said that they met less frequently, which meant that she didn't want to see her more often in the future.
"I'll go see my sister-in-law." Madam Qin Dashao met Liu Yulian's eyes, feeling a little guilty.
Madam Qin Da Shao didn't dare to stay with Liu Yulian any longer. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer... She was mainly afraid of Liu Yulian's cold eyes. In Madam Qin Da Shao's heart, Liu Yulian was originally a cute little sister, a little sister who only knew how to read those books. Who knew that Liu Yulian would become so powerful now?
"Okay." Liu Yulian nodded.
Liu Yulian did not accompany Mrs. Qin, and only after Mrs. Qin left Liu Yulian's yard did Mrs. Qin breathe a sigh of relief.
Since when did Liu Yulian's aura become so strong?
Madam Qin Dashao sighed and felt that she should indeed get to know her younger sister Liu Yulian again.
"Let's go." Madam Qin said to the maid beside her, and also to herself. She turned her head to look at the courtyard where Liu Yulian lived, and then left.
In the northwest, the affair between Da Huo and Miss Cen's husband was finally discovered by Miss Cen, and the two of them started to fight.
Miss Cen originally thought that since Mrs. Huo didn't like Liu Yulian either, they could talk more. Miss Cen's life in her husband's family was not easy, and she thought she was better off than Mrs. Huo, at least she still had a husband's family that she could rely on, while Mrs. Huo's husband's family would never care about her.
After the two men started tussling, Miss Cen soon complained of stomach pain and spotting. By the time the doctor came to see her, the baby was already gone.
Mrs. Huo ran away. How could she possibly stay here any longer? She knew that Miss Cen's husband was unlikely to give her anything more. He was not the eldest son to begin with, a young master from a small town. How could Mrs. Huo not understand this?
The reason why Mrs. Huo was with that man was mainly because she hadn't had sex with a man for a long time, and she wanted to relax a little. So she decided to go all out and hook up with Miss Cen's husband.
"She is the former sister-in-law of Princess Rongning. When the Jingning Marquisate fell into decline, she divorced Princess Rongning's eldest brother."
"If you have the ability, let her come in as a concubine and see how people outside view you."
"I did offend Princess Rongning, but I didn't do anything as extreme as she did. She was exiled, not here on vacation."
"Yes, she was a daughter of the Earl's family, but she was exiled. I heard that she almost killed the man she later married."
…
Miss Cen finally got pregnant, but she didn't expect the child to be gone so soon. She couldn't let Mrs. Huo get away with it. Mrs. Huo had harmed her child, and she had to pay the price.
When Miss Cen's in-laws learned of Da Huo's identity, they were all shocked. Miss Cen's husband was also told by her parents-in-law not to be with Da Huo anymore.
The news that Miss Cen had a miscarriage caused by Mrs. Huo soon spread, and Mrs. Huo's reputation became even worse.
Some people teased Da Huo when they saw her, and some men even thought about sneaking into Da Huo's room. They all said that Da Huo was short of men. If Da Huo was not short of men, how could she possibly make a move on Miss Cen's husband?
"Who knows which man entered her home today."
"Stay away, don't get close to her."
"That's a whore, a dishonest person."
…
Everyone in Shiyuan Village disliked Da Huo. When a man ran up to her, she would curse at him.
Not every man would want Da Huo. She felt disgusted by the sight of peasants with black fingernails. In her previous life, she didn't like Liu Yanjing much, which was also related to him becoming an ordinary peasant.
She was not a very determined person like Da Huo. She was not afraid that the Ouyang family would know about her actions in the northwest. She was so far away, so what if the Ouyang family knew about her actions?
Da Huo simply chose men who treated her well, but these men were not really kind to her. Most of them just wanted to sleep with her and pay her a little money for each time they slept with her.
How could ordinary people afford to pay more? Of course, Da Huo would not choose those who looked poor. Da Huo would only be with those who looked wealthy. The ones she was with were basically dandies with bad character.
How could a man of good character possibly be interested in Da Huo? Those people also knew that Da Huo was originally the wife of Liu Yanjing, the son of the Marquis of Jingning. When the Liu family fell on hard times, Da Huo chose to divorce. People like Da Huo were not good people. Who knew if they would get to know each other more closely, something unfortunate would happen.
The villagers ignored Da Huo's actions. There were many exiles here, and those people had all kinds of personalities. Some were good, some were bad. People like Da Huo all thought that she would eventually get herself killed.
When she was young, Da Huo could still be so active, but when she got old, life became difficult. If she were a smarter woman, she should find a man to live with, instead of being with this man and that man. It seems that Da Huo can choose, but in fact, she is no different from the women in the brothel.
Mrs. Huo was desperate, thinking that if she was not good enough, others would also mock Liu Yanjing and Lord Ouyang. Those people said that Liu Yanjing's ex-wife did not love herself and that Lord Ouyang was cuckolded.
This time she was reborn, she didn't get a better ending, but became like this.
Mrs. Huo was unwilling to accept this, so she could only numb herself with other things.
Miss Cen and Mrs. Huo had a complete falling out, and life was not easy for either of them.
Liu Yanqing even wrote a letter back to the capital, saying he felt both Miss Cen and Mrs. Huo were idiots. They had no intention of living a good life. Princess Rongning was not in the northwest, yet they still held a grudge against her. They were only together because they had a common grudge.
"My little sister is also pitiful." Liu Yanqing sighed, "She is not even here, and yet people still hate her."
"They are all petty people." Lin Xiaowan looked down on Da Huo. For a daughter of a wealthy family to end up like this, Da Huo's brains must be no better. "Don't get close to her."
"I didn't go close to her." Liu Yanqing thought about how a widow in the village had tried to seduce him before, but he hadn't taken the bait. Of course, he couldn't be with Mrs. Huo. "Don't tell me, she even flirted with me before."
Liu Yanqing thought that Da Huo was poisonous. Did she think that she could insult others by doing that? Liu Yanqing thought that Da Huo was insulting herself. Da Huo thought that she could use herself to retaliate against others, but others didn't care about her at all.
"She just wants to embarrass Big Brother." Liu Yanqing said, "What kind of person is she, don't you think? There's no way I could be with her. If I look at her for even a second, she might start gossiping outside. After all, I used to be her brother-in-law."
Liu Yanqing didn't want to get any closer to Mrs. Huo. When he thought of Mrs. Huo's seductive eyes at that time, he got goosebumps.
"A person like this is still staying here..." Liu Yanqing muttered, "That's right, if he didn't do anything life-threatening, how could he die?"
"Stay away." Lin Xiaowan still said the same thing. They couldn't guarantee that those people wouldn't do something stupid.
When Da Huo was alone in Shiyuan Village, she would think about the things in her past life. Even though the Shiyuan Village in this life was very different from the Shiyuan Village in her previous life, with more people and schools, as long as Da Huo was here, she would think about it.
Those people don't care what Da Huo is thinking, nor do they care whether Da Huo is feeling empty inside.
Mrs. Huo stood there, missing her past life in the northwest. Back then, she could lose her temper. Even if her family didn't like her, they had enough food and clothing. If she really didn't want to do the laundry, they would hire a maid to do it.
In short, no matter how Da Huo acted, she never hooked up with other men or stayed with other men, and the Liu family members were still quite tolerant of her.
The Liu family just wanted to be patient because Da Huo hadn't divorced Liu Yanjing and had gone to the northwest to suffer. But Da Huo felt that her life was not good enough, so she wanted to make trouble and let others know how hard she worked and how difficult it was.
Widow Zhang saw how disorderly Da Huo was, and she looked down on her very much. No wonder Da Huo had ended up in this state.
When Widow Zhang arrived at the fourth room of the Liu family, she said a few words.
"Don't bother with her," said Widow Zhang. "If you do, she'll just climb up the pole."
When Widow Zhang saw Da Huo, she felt that she was not quite right. She thought that Da Huo had some evil qualities. She even asked the village chief about it. The village chief said that it would be difficult to drive Da Huo away. Their village had basically never driven out exiles.
Which village the exiles are sent to is arranged by the higher authorities.
Village Zhang didn't care, as long as Da Huo didn't cause any deaths. As for Da Huo's foolish behavior, the villagers didn't pay much attention, as long as Da Huo didn't hurt other people in the village.
"Of course." Lin Xiaowan said, "How can I care too much? They are not sisters."
Among the sisters-in-law, there are a few who have a good relationship. Even if they have a good relationship, at the critical moment, they also think about their own interests.
Lin Xiaowan and Da Huo were sisters-in-law in the past, and Da Huo looked down on them as concubines' wives. Lin Xiaowan didn't say much, that was all in the past. She just thought that Da Huo deserved what she had gotten into.
In Hainan, since Miss Xue Er was suspended from her job, she has been much quieter. She doesn't think about going to the fields, but just reads more books and supplements her knowledge.
Seeing that Miss Xue Er hadn't gone out to cause trouble, her husband felt much more at ease. He hoped that his wife could give birth to the child smoothly. It was not easy for a woman to do such things. He was not afraid that his wife would think that he looked down on him. Since he had come with her, he felt it was necessary to remind her more often.
Therefore, Miss Xue Er's husband did not let her go out too often, and when Miss Xue Er wanted to go out, he had to accompany her.
The people outside didn't talk much about Miss Xue Er. To be honest, they really didn't remember her much. Miss Xue Er hadn't helped them in any substantial way, and she hadn't made any progress in rice research, so how could those people possibly value her?
"My cousin is coming of age this year, so we should prepare a gift for her." Miss Xue Er did not forget this. Even though she was suspended from her job, it was not Princess Rongning's fault.
Miss Xue Er knew that she had no right to blame anyone. She was pregnant and she had not handled those things properly, so she did deserve to be punished. As long as she could continue to stay in the institute, she could do a lot of things.
She must be strong and not give up just like that!
