Brocade clothing

Chapter 339 Selfishness

Uncle Liu Guo was supported by the housekeeper, staggered forward, and gently wiped the non-existent dust on the memorial tablet with his sleeve. He wiped it very carefully, but because he vomited blood earlier, his face was haggard and pale, and the old housekeeper was terrified: " Master, you have seen the doctor first... Then, let's pay homage to Madam..."

Uncle Liu Guo didn't speak, just shook his head.

He is very clear that he probably won't live long, just like his wife might not live long at the beginning, isn't that the same feeling?

Uncle Liu Guo smiled wryly: Madam, is this... is it retribution?

He has killed too many things in his life, and in the end, it is his own fault to come to this point. He does not regret it, because even if he does it all over again, he cannot abandon the entire Liu family, but the only thing he regrets is that he is sorry for her, obviously... They shouldn't be like this.

Shouldn't be...

Liu Yuxi...she is really ruthless!

"Master, a distinguished guest has arrived!" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the small Buddhist hall.

Uncle Liu Guo didn't move, and housekeeper Liu didn't say anything.

After a long time, Uncle Liu Guo waved his hand, "Go...bring someone here."

"Master, do you know who is here?" Butler Liu was stunned, who else would come to the Uncle Guo's mansion at this moment?
Uncle Liu Guo sneered, "Who else could there be besides Liu Yuxi?"

Butler Liu has been with Uncle Liu Guo for decades, so he naturally knew the name of the current Empress Dowager, so he was taken aback, but seeing Uncle Liu Guo's face, he didn't dare to say anything, so he went out soon, trembling to take I'm dead, but I have an inexplicable fear in my heart, I'm afraid this time... the uncle's mansion really won't be able to hold on.

Uncle Liu Guo's eyes were calm. After so many years, at this stage, he actually felt that these fame and fortune were nothing more than mediocre.

He walked into the deepest part of the small Buddhist hall with his back bent slowly, and slowly carried out a smaller tablet, and placed it side by side with Mrs. Liu's tablet, and slowly wiped it with his sleeve, if he had known earlier that year Now, won't he hold his temper and refuse to give in?

If the tempers of the two of them could be a little better, probably... they wouldn't be at this point.

Even if anyone is willing to bow their heads, they will not be provoked by Liu Yuxi.

But my concubine sister knows him too well, and she has also checked out the madam... so she can only blame... herself.

Empress Dowager Liu frowned when she heard that the housekeeper wanted to take her to the small Buddhist hall. She was wrapped in a black cloak, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but her sharp eyebrows and eyes looked through the veil, making Housekeeper Liu shudder.

She has been in a high position all year round, and she is very imposing, holding the arm of the nanny: "Why, but what happened?"

Butler Liu dared to say that the master knew about the dirty things she did, so he could only say: "The master misses Madam these days... when the nobleman came, he happened to be in the small Buddhist hall, so... please trouble the nobleman to move it." Step into the small Buddhist hall."

In the past, Empress Dowager Liu would have turned her head and left long ago. She has been in the harem all these years, but she can stretch her hands very long. Nian just restrained herself a little bit, if it wasn't about Liu Deqian, Empress Dowager Liu would not have given in at all, but after thinking about it for a while, with a cold face, she told the nurse beside her: "Go."

Mammy didn't dare to say much, she helped Empress Dowager Liu and followed the butler to the small Buddhist hall.

When Empress Dowager Liu arrived outside the Small Buddha Hall, Mammy was stopped by someone: "My lord, the master said that you are only allowed to go in by yourself."

"Presumptuous!" Nanny scolded.

Empress Dowager Liu's face was gloomy, but she finally raised her hand and endured it. She raised her head and looked at the small Buddhist hall. For some reason, she suddenly thought of something, lowered her eyes, and covered the dark light in her eyes.

She came in a hurry, and didn't think carefully, but she calmed down along the way, and felt that today's matter was a bit sinister.

For so many years, her good elder brother has always obeyed her orders for the sake of the Liu family, and now he suddenly does the opposite, there must be a difference, then, what is it, the only thing I can think of... is that matter .

But... how is it possible?

All the people who knew about it back then have been wiped out, the only ones are the two confidantes beside him.

Empress Dowager Liu stepped into the small Buddhist hall with half-closed and deep eyes. As soon as she entered, she could smell the rich sandalwood fragrance. Quite a lot, but as I stepped in step by step, when I got to the innermost part, I lifted up the bright yellow curtain and saw Uncle Liu Guo standing with his back to her. , There are two tablets lined up, one big and one small, Empress Dowager Liu's heart skipped a beat, she knew she might have guessed right: what happened back then... might have been exposed.

"Brother..." Empress Dowager Liu seldom gave in, so she called out first.

Uncle Liu Guo didn't turn his head when he heard the voice, but continued to wipe the tablet patiently with his sleeve.

Empress Dowager Liu waited for a long time, frowned, and couldn't help shouting again.

Uncle Liu Guo was extremely angry, but there was no emotion on his face: "It's been so long, and you haven't offered incense to your sister-in-law, come offer incense." After finishing speaking, he moved away.

Empress Dowager Liu clenched her hands in her sleeves. She came in without even taking off her cloak. Although she was unwilling to hear this, she thought that if the other party already knew about that matter, she might not be able to do well today.Gritting her teeth, Empress Dowager Liu took off her cloak, with a smile on her face: "Brother said, Ai's family has been busy for so long, and it's inconvenient to leave the palace, but I haven't been able to come A sister-in-law offers incense sticks."

She walked not far away on her own, and picked up a few sandalwood sticks. Her hands were well maintained and her nails were very long. When she was holding the incense sticks, she was almost unsteady and fell.

Uncle Liu Guo kept looking at her expressionlessly, without speaking, just staring at her.

A pair of eyes were pitch-black, even red.

Empress Dowager Liu was furiously stared at by him, and finally put the incense into the incense burner as if coping with it, and she was relieved.

Turning around, looking at Uncle Liu Guo: "Brother..."

Uncle Liu Guo said directly: "Shouldn't you also offer incense sticks to your nephew?"

Empress Dowager Liu finally couldn't help it, "Brother, you should know the current status of the Ai family."

Being able to offer incense sticks to Mrs. Liu is already her limit.

She cannot lower herself.

Because she was just a concubine who was not favored when she was in Liu's mansion, she has been extremely paranoid about her status these years.

Uncle Liu Guo laughed mockingly: "Liu Yuxi, Liu Yuxi, after so many years, you dreamed back at midnight, wouldn't you have nightmares?"

Empress Dowager Liu froze, and then sneered back: "What about elder brother? The blood on elder brother's hands is no less than that of Ai's family."

Uncle Liu Guo's eyes became even more gloomy: "This old man is your own brother! You actually caused this old man to die, you are so cruel!"

"My family doesn't understand what Big Brother said." When Empress Dowager Liu heard Uncle Liu's words, she knew that she might be known for what she did back then, but as long as she didn't admit it, what would he do to her?
"At this point, do you still refuse to admit it?" Uncle Liu Guo smashed a cup beside him violently, panting heavily, gnashing his teeth with hatred, wishing to pounce on him now and tear him apart.

Empress Dowager Liu pursed her lips: "The Ai family doesn't understand what elder brother is talking about."

"Come on! Bring me up!" Uncle Liu Guo growled.

Almost at the same time, Nanny Xu and Po Wen were brought up. When Empress Dowager Liu saw Nanny Xu, her pupils shrank, but she still stood firm, she just raised her eyebrows, and a venomous look flashed in her eyes.

Uncle Liu Guo looked at the two people who were being suppressed: "Tell me what you said to the old man earlier! Tell her again!"

Nanny Xu knew about Empress Dowager Liu's tricks, so she didn't dare, she just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

On the other hand, that steady lady, started from the beginning and slowly started to talk...

But as soon as she said something, she was immediately reprimanded by Empress Dowager Liu, "Shut up! That's fine, brother Aijia knows you're angry, but what did you tell Aijia to do in the situation back then? Aijia's style is weak, Because the Liu family was in danger in the palace, and the first sister died of dystocia, the Ai family had no one to rely on. At that time, the Ai family was afraid that they would not be able to keep the poor Lin'er, so...so they thought about it. Big brother, don't be angry, It's been so many years now, hasn't Qian'er been your son for so many years? Is he not good?"

"Haha, how is he? Have you met him a long time ago and told him his identity? He disrespected his parents at the top and was unrighteous at the bottom. He tossed himself like this, and dared to challenge the emperor face to face. He has become what he is now. Inseparable from you!"

"Enough!" Empress Dowager Liu's complexion also darkened, with a gloomy face, "Brother, what are you going to do? Qian'er is your nephew, no matter how angry you are, how can you be so confused today? Put those plaintiffs back? You know, Qian'er has already been sentenced to death!"

"So what?" Uncle Liu walked towards the Empress Dowager Liu step by step, "You only have your humble son in your heart, have you ever thought that the old man's child is also at that age when he grows up to this day...you For my own selfishness, I let this old man be your puppet for so many years, raised your son for so many years, and finally ruined your family, no sons, no daughters, no wife... Madam refused to forgive the old man until she died , This is your so-called family affection? Oh, yes, in your eyes, there is only the difference between useful value and useless value. Since you are so capable, then...Liu Deqian, save yourself, old man...will not Intervene!"

"You! How did you let Aijia do something in the harem?"

"Heh... don't you still have an emperor's son, let him help you, you are so capable, it must be no problem. Come! See off the guests!" Uncle Liu Guo took a deep breath and asked Steward Liu to see the guests off .

Butler Liu trembled. Although he was afraid of the identity of Empress Dowager Liu, he still dared not disobey Uncle Liu Guo: "My lord... please."

Empress Dowager Liu looked at Uncle Liu's back with resentment: "Brother, are you so cruel? Anyway, you have a father-son relationship with Qian'er for more than 20 years."
