Chapter 72 Card Game
Madam Cai looked at her and said, "Don't you always play with Madam Liu? Why did you suddenly call me today?"
"The Liu family has been busy lately. How could she have time to play cards with us?" Old Madam Zhang drew a card and played it.
"What else could be wrong with their family? Isn't it just moldy food?" Old Madam Cai hadn't seen anyone from the Liu family for a long time.
Madam Qian touched a card and said, "How long has it been since you last paid attention to their family? They've been having bad luck lately!"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Cai said and looked at Mrs. Si.
"First, their little grandson was seriously ill and almost died. He only recovered after I bought the life-saving elixir from the young marshal."
"Even though the child was saved, he'll still be a sickly child and need to take medicine regularly. And then there's the food issue, which you know."
Old Master Zhang played a card as he spoke. "Then Master Liu became ill. I heard it was quite serious. He was almost fully recovered when Liu Ruyan's private seal was stolen."
"I used this private seal to buy a lot of things outside and lost a lot of money. This anger made my condition worse."
Mrs. Cai didn't move for a long time after listening to this.
"Mrs. Cai, it's your turn to play cards." Mrs. Si reminded with a smile.
"Look, I forgot all this." Old Madam Cai drew a card and played it out.
"Win!" Old Madam Si pushed down the cards in front of her.
Mrs. Qian scooped up some money and handed it to her: "Your luck is really getting better and better. I'm afraid we won't dare play cards with you anymore."
"Please don't do that. You guys bullied me a lot when I was unlucky before. It's not too much to let me win back now!" Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we used to beat you more, but now you beat us more." Mrs. Zhang also had a smile on her face.
"Don't you think that feng shui is always changing? Madam Cai." Madam Si looked at Madam Cai and said.
Madam Cai smiled and nodded: "Madam Si is right."
After a few rounds, she began to test the waters: "I heard some news yesterday, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"What news?" asked Mrs. Zhang curiously.
"I heard that the Liu family sold all the fertile land. Is that true?" Old Madam Cai looked at the three of them.
"Is there such news?" Old Madam Qian looked gossipy.
"I just heard it yesterday, I don't know if it's true or not." Madam Cai said and looked at Madam Si: "I heard it was sold to the governor?"
Madam Si smiled faintly: "Madam Cai is well-informed and knows about this matter."
"Really?" Mrs. Cai agreed to play cards today because she wanted to get a definite answer.
"This is not something that can be concealed, but the fertile land is not sold to us, but to make amends." Old Madam Si did not want her to think that the Liu family still had money after selling the fertile land.
"Ah!" The three people at the table exclaimed in unison.
"As for what it is, I'm not in a position to reveal it. After all, it's not something glorious." Old Madam Si interrupted them before they could continue asking.
"But I can tell you one piece of news. It seems that Liu Jingcheng is a little mentally unstable."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cai became even more worried. The old man in their family had always wanted to marry into the Liu family.
In addition, Cai Yong liked Liu Ruyan, but the Liu family had never agreed. They also understood that this was because he looked down on the Cai family and wanted to curry favor with the Governor's Mansion.
Now the Governor's Mansion has not been reached, and the Liu family's current situation is not good, but this Liu Ruyan actually came up to them.
I'm afraid the reason behind this still needs to be investigated carefully.
"Win." Old Madam Qian pushed down the cards.
Old Madam Cai had something on her mind, so she played the cards carelessly and let others win, and in the end her family lost.
"Looks like I'm unlucky today. I'll play with you guys another day."
"It's okay. Your luck is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Maybe it will be better next time." Old Madam Si comforted her.
After seeing them off, the smile on her face faded.
The seeds of doubt have been planted, and there is nothing more they need to do.
The Liu family seems to be wealthy and powerful, but in fact they have borrowed money from the bank. As soon as this news comes out, it is only a matter of time before their family falls.
Before she turned around, she saw two cars coming in from the gate. She knew at a glance that Si Tian and Siming had returned.
When the car arrived at the gate and the door opened, we saw that the three children were asleep in the car.
Mrs. Si asked the driver to take Ma Yang back to the room to rest.
Juanjuan stayed in his room, and Si Jinchen asked Si Ming to carry her to the room upstairs.
I don’t know if they were too tired from playing, but the three children didn’t even wake up to eat dinner.
Cai family.
As soon as Mrs. Cai came back, she went to find Mr. Cai and said, "Master, you should think carefully about the marriage with the Liu family."
Mr. Cai was stunned when he saw her say that: "What's wrong?"
"The Liu family is probably just an empty shell now. You'd better have someone investigate it thoroughly." Old Madam Cai sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"An empty shell? How is that possible?" Mr. Cai was a little skeptical.
"I went to the Governor's Mansion today and personally confirmed there that all of the Liu family's fertile land was given to the Governor as an apology. Madam Si didn't specify the details."
"If we sell it, the Liu family will still have money, but we won't get a penny as an apology."
"Also, their two grandsons were seriously ill before, so they bought two life-saving pills from the warlord. I heard the price was not cheap."
"Also, Liu Jingcheng seems to be in trouble now. Are you sure you still want to marry into this broken ship of the Liu family?"
Mrs. Cai put down her teacup and looked at him.
"Is this information reliable?" Mr. Cai began to hesitate.
"Master, you may check whether it is reliable. As for Ayong, you'd better not let him get too close to Liu Ruyan recently." Mrs. Cai reminded.
Mr. Cai: "I understand. I will remind him and have someone investigate. If it is true as you said, the Liu family is indeed not suitable for marriage."
After saying this, Mrs. Cai stood up and left the living room.
"Go and call Young Master Cai Yong." Master Cai ordered the servant.
After a while, Cai Yong came over with an unhappy look on his face: "Dad, what do you want from me?"
"Don't have any contact with Liu Ruyan recently." Mr. Cai looked at him and said.
"Why? Haven't you always wanted to marry into the Liu family?" Cai Yong looked puzzled.
"In short, if you still want to share the family property in the future, do as I say, otherwise you won't get a penny." Mr. Cai directly grasped his soft spot.
Cai Yong had been trying to fight for it, but now he was completely silent: "I understand. I won't contact her anymore recently."
"There are all kinds of women, but if they are of no help to you and even hold you back, no matter how beautiful they are, it's useless." Mr. Cai looked at him earnestly and said.
