Mr. Liu paused while drinking tea, thinking of Dai Yuping, the second son of the Dai family, who was indeed a cunning man. It would be just right to make his daughter more cunning. The two looked at each other, then lowered their heads to drink tea. At that moment, the marriage of their children was decided.
Dai Yuping accepted it very well. As soon as his father said it, he knew what was going on. He didn't have many requirements for his wife, but when he heard that she was someone he could train himself, he was interested. He didn't care about what she had done before, so he accepted it very well. He directly took out a jade pendant engraved with the word "Ping" that he usually carried with him and gave it to his father. Since they were going to get married, there had to be a token of proof.
At this time, Liu Ying was still studying the jewelry box in her hand. When she left Jizhou City, she took this box away for some unknown reason. She didn't know what secret it had. Except that it was heavier than an ordinary box, there seemed to be no difference.
After Mr. Liu returned home, he saw Liu Ying holding a box and studying it. He didn't say much, but just sat opposite her and watched her study the box.
When Liu Ying saw her father coming back, she quickly put down the box.
"Daddy, you're back."
"Well, what are you doing? Why did you bring your jewelry box? Isn't it too heavy?"
Liu Ying frowned and looked at the box. After thinking for a while, she handed it to her father and asked him to try it.
"Dad, the weight of this box is wrong, and mother pays a lot of attention to it. She always looks at it when she enters her daughter's room. This time when I left, I took it away directly. I think there must be something in it?"
Mr. Liu glanced at his daughter, then fiddled with the box, looked at the carved patterns around it, and slowly turned it. Only then did he discover an inconspicuous small bulge at the bottom, which was invisible unless one looked carefully.
Looking at the bulge, Mr. Liu pressed it down without hesitation. As a result, the originally beautiful box inlaid with butterfly shells cracked directly, and some white paper and two pieces of gold appeared from the hollow thick walls around the box.
After opening these papers, Mr. Liu was so angry that he laughed. Five of the papers inside were silver notes worth one hundred taels of silver. It was probably the money that Cui Shunrong had saved over the years, or it might be her own medicine money that she had secretly saved and did not give it all directly to the person from the Shao family.
There are also three shop deeds, which belong to the Liu family, which were not in a good position back then. These were also the deeds of the three shops that he accidentally lost. They were actually hidden by his cousin. Looking at the name on the deeds, it is still his. Is she planning to transfer the name directly after his death?
Two pieces and two taels of gold, no wonder the box is like this, the gold is shining, it seems that I have made a lot of money over the years, otherwise how could this woman save so much money.
Liu Ying didn't dare to speak at all. It wasn't that she was illiterate. On the contrary, when Mr. Liu took out the shop's deed, she became speechless. She didn't dare to speak at all, for fear of being implicated. This had nothing to do with her, really.
Looking at his daughter who was trembling with fear because of him, he changed his mind and knew why. It was just the mother's fault, and he would not blame his daughter.
Even though he would have taken his anger out on the child before, he would still be soft-hearted. After all, how could he be so cruel as to give up on the child he had raised since childhood? So this time he took the child away from the troublemaker, hoping that the child would change his temper after meeting others and not be infected by that person's temper.
A good child cannot have a fickle mother, so she must get married quickly. Before the matter is made public, even if he doesn't say anything, Cui Shunrong is probably not an easy person to deal with.
After thinking about it, she decided to give the deeds of the three shops as a dowry to the child. Her mother had hidden these things anyway, and she probably hadn't thought about the child yet. She only wanted to live with her lover. After all, her daughter would be taken care of by someone.
