Chapter 52

Li Shi is not very beautiful, but her skin is naturally delicate.

She doesn't like to talk, she just likes to smile with her lips pursed. She is already in her thirties, and she looks like a 20-year-old girl.

On weekdays, she was only responsible for cleaning the clothes of several masters, and the Qian family had few masters, and with the help of sisters from the same village, she was quite free.

But the good times didn't last long.

One day, Mrs. Li went to pick up clothes from her aunt's yard as usual, but she ran into Mr. Qian who just came back from a dinner party last night.

Master Qian reeked of alcohol and seemed to have drunk a lot.

Seeing him, Mrs. Li wanted to leave, but was grabbed and dragged to the embroidery bed.

After waking up, Master Qian regretted what he had done, explained that he regarded her as Aunt Lan, and gave her 100 taels of silver, hoping that she would keep it a secret.

Li was so ashamed and angry that she wished she could hit the wall to death on the spot, but when she saw the 100 taels of silver, she thought that her son could not even afford a wife.

The whole family can't get enough to eat. If they have this money, their family can buy a few acres of land, and they won't suffer from hunger in the future.

She thought that she was no longer the eldest daughter of Huanghua anyway, and she would just hide from Master Qian in the future, so she gritted her teeth and accepted it.

After returning home, Mrs. Li didn't dare to take out the money, probably because she had a guilty conscience, and she didn't know how to explain it to her husband and children.

On the surface, she pretended nothing happened and continued to go to Qian's house to work every day, but she often wiped her tears secretly.

I wanted to finish this month, so I found an excuse to quit my job, but I didn't expect that I found out that I was pregnant before I quit.

Poor and lowly couples are sad, she and Liu Cheng try their best to fill their stomachs all day long, and they can fall asleep as soon as they touch the pillow at night when they are tired, and they haven't had sex for a long time.

She was in a daze, she had no other man, so this child could only belong to Master Qian.

It just so happened that a young maid in the mansion had chickenpox, and the housekeeper was afraid of passing it on to the master, so he asked a doctor to take the servant's pulse.

So Mr. Qian found out about Mrs. Li's pregnancy.

He didn't think much about it at first, after all, he has been childless for so many years, how could it be possible for a romantic affair to bear fruit overnight.

But when the doctor said that Mrs. Li asked him for abortion pills, he felt something was wrong.

He called Li Shi over, and finally knew that she was pregnant with his own child under forced questioning.

The Qian family has a queen!
Master Qian was overjoyed, clutching his heart and almost passed out.

Immediately thinking that Mrs. Li has a husband, she made a difficult decision.

He told Madam Qian about this, and Madam Qian was not only not angry, but also very happy for her master.

The two closed the door and discussed for a while, and then there was the matter of Mrs. Li being washed away by the water.

Liu Cheng's old face turned red when he heard this, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

He really felt that Li Shi had been in a bad mood for a while, and he only thought that she had menstruation and was not feeling well.

He didn't blame Mrs. Li, after all, that was not what she wanted, and if she wasn't useless, she wouldn't have swallowed her anger and accepted the money.

Liu Fang and Liu Lei went to the mountain to dig rocks, but they were not at home. Liu carefully observed his younger brother's expression.

Liu Cheng stood up trembling, "I, I'm going to save Liniang."

After that, he staggered and ran out.

Xu Shi was too angry, Liu Cheng's momentum was so strong that Liu Shi couldn't stop him.

She looked anxiously at her granddaughter, but saw Gu Nanyan gently shaking her head at her.

This matter will be resolved sooner or later, Liu Cheng will be too stimulated, if he is not allowed to vent, he will probably get sick.

Gu Nanyan asked Aunt Cui and the others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain to go back first, and then went to the Qian Mansion with Liu Shi and Liu Cheng behind.

Master Qian was in a very good mood during this time, and he was strolling around the house with his son in his arms.

It was not in vain for him to do good deeds in the past few years by donating porridge and food and paving the road. God finally felt his sincerity, not only gave him a child, but also made him a boy in one fell swoop.

Madam Qian was half leaning on the bedside, with a white cloth scarf around her forehead, looking lovingly at the child in her husband's arms.

At this time, the steward of Qian's mansion rushed in, breaking the peaceful scene.

"Master, that man is here again."

Master Qian was coaxing his son, and asked impatiently, "Who's here again?"

"It's that mud-legged Liu Cheng who lives in the mountains!"

Liu Cheng?

Master Qian frowned: "Why is he here again? Didn't you say that everything has been dealt with?"

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing how to answer.

He did ask Xiao Cui to appease Liu Cheng, and he was indeed stable for more than half a year, but who knew he came to him again.

"When you come, you will come. You just send people away. You have to come to the master for such a trivial matter. What do you want me to do as a housekeeper!"

Madam Qian's complexion was not very good. Hearing this, she reprimanded the housekeeper and kicked him out.

At this moment, Liu Cheng was standing at the gate of Qian's mansion and banging on the door vigorously.

He always thought his wife was dead, but he didn't expect that she was forcibly left in Qian's house.

Thinking about how Master Qian behaved like this, and Mrs. Li is such a weak person, I don't know how much he has been wronged these days.

"What are you doing, who doesn't have a good eye and dares to come to Qian's mansion to make trouble!"

The gatekeeper opened the gate fiercely.

He had already received the steward's order to drive this man away no matter what.

He looked Liu Cheng up and down, and saw that his clothes were worn out with a lot of patches piled up, and thinking of the butler's impatient eyes, disdain flashed in his eyes.

The boy decided that Liu Cheng was a poor relative who came to play Qiufeng.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Since the master's business has grown bigger and bigger, many distant cousins ​​who have nowhere to go have come to the door, wanting to take advantage of it.

These mud-legged people really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, where the Qian Mansion is, and even Mr. Su praised their master as a great benevolent person.

"Let's go, let's get out while our master is not angry, or be careful to drag you to see the official!"

After that, he wanted to close the door.

Liu Cheng quickly reached out his hand to block it.

"I want to see Master Qian. If he doesn't come out today, I won't leave!"

Liu Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he was usually an honest person, but now he seemed to be eating people.

"Just you?" The servant sneered.

"What are you? Master, is it something you can see whenever you want?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Cheng, looked ironically at Liu Shi and Gu Nanyan who were standing not far away, and closed the door with a bang.

Pushed by him, Liu Cheng staggered and sat on the ground, unable to get up for a long time due to the pain in his tailbone.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurried forward to help him.

Seeing her younger brother breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, Mrs. Liu was furious, and her temper immediately flared up.

She stepped forward and kicked the door.

"The money that kills a thousand knives is rich and noble, but you still have the reputation of being a good person, I'm sorry!"

Liu rolled up his sleeves, pinched his waist with one hand and cursed at the gate of Qian Mansion.

"A room full of bullshit and shit, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun actually dares to take over your wife. This meeting is pretending to be a bear and not daring to come out. If you don't open the door, believe it or not, I will let someone pick up your ancestral grave!"

Mrs. Liu raised her leg a few more times, and there were a few more mud marks on the brand new gate of the Qian Mansion.

"Qian Fugui, you are a beast in clothes and shy, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning if you do such immoral things. With unworthy descendants like you, your family's ancestral tablet will be smoked."

"Didn't you want to see the official? I'm going to the yamen now to see who the county master is arresting!"

After finishing speaking, he walked aggressively towards the county government office.

Gu Nanyan didn't stop her, she just quietly looked at the peeping eyes through the crack of the door.

The butler, who had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, was startled when he heard that Mrs. Liu was going to report to the police, and hurriedly opened the door.

It was because their master was wrong about this matter. Although he couldn't figure out how Liu Cheng knew about it, Mr. Su was just and strict, and he would definitely not favor the master when the time came.

At this time, there were already many people around, all of them stared wide-eyed to watch the excitement.

He smiled and said to Liu Shi: "What is this aunt doing, our master has always been kind-hearted, Mr. Su knows the details, so why would he arrest people indiscriminately?"

He stroked his beard with a smile.

"Our wife is also very sorry for Mrs. Li's death. Although it was an accident, after all, he died when he was working for the Qian Mansion. Madam feels guilty. Last time, she took 500 taels of her own money to compensate Liu Cheng."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Liu Cheng who was at the side.

"However, if you are still not satisfied with the compensation, why don't we go in and explain in detail, our master has always been generous to his servants, and will definitely not treat you badly."

He looks like a good old man, coupled with his round face, he looks very approachable.

When the onlookers heard these remarks, they immediately became overwhelmed.

"What, I lost 500 taels!"

"Yeah, how much grain can you buy for 500 taels, and you can eat and drink without worrying about doing anything. Liu Cheng is actually not satisfied?"

"No, this man is too greedy. With this money, he can marry dozens of wives. It must be because of Master Qian's generosity, he wants to blackmail him."

The butler smiled smugly, this is what he wanted.

His family's master's reputation can't be bad, and it's not a good idea for this person to always make trouble.

He has to make this person dare not come again in the future, even if he does come, everyone will think that he is not greedy enough.

Gu Nanyan squinted her eyes, and walked towards the housekeeper of Qian's house.

 Thank you for your votes, everyone.

  Look at my flaming red lips, Trojan Horse (ε)
