Chapter 43: Songsong laid an egg?
Lu Qinghui's face turned pale: "General, this must be a misunderstanding."
"Then, Madam Liu, please tell me. Should I believe the informant, or should I believe Master Liu?"
"When this person told me, he had already caught the person red-handed, but I haven't even seen the person that Mr. Liu mentioned." Siming looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
Lu Qinghui couldn't find any words to refute.
"Si Ming, what do you want in exchange for letting my elder brother go?" Liu Ruyan looked at the man in front of her.
"How can you say I let him go? Besides, your eldest brother himself admitted that it was he who had the medicine garden of Doctor Huai destroyed. Did I force him to do that?"
Sima Ming looked at her with a sneer.
Liu Ruyan wanted to lose her temper, but she suppressed the fire in her heart and softened her voice: "Can you please let my brother go this time for the sake of our friendship?"
"Miss Liu, we are not friends." Siming said bluntly.
Lu Qinghui stopped Liu Ruyan, who was about to lose her temper, and said, "General, do you think we can pay you back?"
Siming's slender fingers were placed on his legs, tapping them intermittently, with no intention of letting go.
"General, just tell us. As long as the Liu family can afford it, we will definitely give it to them." Lu Qinghui took a deep breath and said.
Siming did some calculations in his mind. He had fleeced the Liu family a lot of money, and now he probably had less than a hundred yellow croakers in his hands.
Even if Mr. Liu agrees to drain their family assets, I'm afraid the other people in the Liu family won't agree.
It’s better to try it in a different way.
"I want all the farmland of your Liu family."
"This is impossible." Liu Ruyan was the first to jump out and object.
"Alright, then take all your family property in exchange, otherwise you will just be waiting to collect the body of Master Liu!"
"I only give you two days. Either bring something to redeem him, or come and collect his body!" Siming said, and stood up to leave: "Butler, please show us out."
"General, shall we discuss the next step?" Lu Qinghui wanted to catch up and talk more.
"Mrs. Liu, please come in, Miss Liu!" The housekeeper stopped in front and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Qinghui could only turn around and leave to go back to discuss with Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu.
"Sister-in-law, wait for me." Liu Ruyan chased out.
"Liu Ruyan, didn't you claim to have a good relationship with the Governor? Is this what you call friendship? If your eldest brother doesn't come back, will there still be a place for you and me in the Liu family?"
Lu Qinghui was almost mad with anger. This sister-in-law was simply a disaster.
If she hadn't been brought along, Sima Ming might not have asked for such a high price.
Liu Ruyan bit her lip, not knowing how to refute. When had she ever suffered such a loss?
She has been praised by others since she was a child. She has a good figure, good looks, and an impeccable family background. But Siming, a man, just disdains her.
Siming was in the study on the second floor, watching the two people leave.
"Brother, if you ask for all the farmland of the Liu family, they may not agree." Si Tian can now go up and down the stairs, but he still walks relatively slowly.
"They don't have many yellow croakers left. If we ask for something else, they might not agree. But farmland is just an industry they're giving up."
Siming turned to look at him: "Besides, they don't believe we can grow food. They still have the General Administration of Customs as their backer."
"If they go to the General Administration of Customs to plead for mercy, this matter will be difficult to handle." Si Tian frowned slightly.
"The General Administration of Customs wants benefits. It will naturally stand on the side of whoever gives it more benefits." Siming looked at him with a smile.
Si Tian smiled immediately. Now their family still had a lot of yellow croakers, which made them much richer than the Liu family now.
As long as the General Administration of Customs is not a fool, it should know what to choose.
"How is your leg?" Siming asked after watching him sit down.
"I'm almost well now. I can walk slowly for a while, but I still feel a little weak after walking for a long time." Si Tian stretched out his hand and rubbed his legs.
"A Tian, what do you think of Liu Cheng'an?" Si Ming walked over to him and sat down and asked casually.
"He's not on the same side as the Liu family. I heard that his daughter helped Juanjuan at the birthday party yesterday. The three children were hiding together at that time."
Si Tian only found out today what happened at yesterday's banquet.
"Oh! I heard that they left without having dinner yesterday." Siming looked at him and asked.
"Indeed, I was still wondering whether you would be disappointed, but it seems that you didn't." Si Tian smiled faintly.
"Maybe we can consider this person, even though he has a bit of an annoying mouth." Siming picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Si Tian also smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Juanjuan was still studying the strokes very seriously today, but the strokes she wrote looked more like paintings.
Yan Anqing has now given up completely and is comforting himself psychologically: when the child grows up a little, he will definitely be able to learn it.
She is too young now, just let her develop freely!
Fortunately, I still have an excellent student, and that is enough.
Compared to Juanjuan, Si Jinchen really understood things at once, and his ability to remember everything he saw made him even more pleased.
He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing all the knowledge that was passed on to him.
After three days of classes, he has gradually accepted the differences between the two children.
Jian Menglan was surprised to see that he wasn't as depressed as he was two days ago. "Have you figured it out?"
"The child is still young. It will be fine when she grows up a little." Yan Anqing smiled and let her hold his arm and leave the Si family together.
This is how Madam Si and the others comforted themselves. There is no such thing as a perfect child. This child has already brought them enough surprises.
This is already the greatest blessing for their family. Even if they are not good at studying, so what? They still have their family to protect them.
Si Jinchen would also patiently teach Juanjuan how to write strokes, but although it looked like painting in the end, it was also her own style.
After the two children finished the homework assigned by the teacher, they ran to play with Songsong, and saw a lot of eggs lying in Songsong's nest.
"Songsong, you laid eggs?" Juanjuan looked at the eggs in the nest in surprise.
"Woof woof. Have you ever seen anyone's dog lay eggs?" Songsong was speechless.
Its nest has now completely become a chicken coop, forcing it to sleep on the sofa every day.
"Grandma, Songsong laid her egg." Juanjuan completely ignored its words and shouted towards the house.
"Ah!" Madam Si and everyone in the family were full of question marks.
It’s safe to say that Songsong is a dog, so what about laying eggs?
Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem right. Even if it can lay eggs, it should be female, but Songsong is a male.
Everyone ran over with a bunch of question marks, and were dumbfounded when they saw the pile of eggs in Songsong's doghouse.
