Chapter 645 What's Yours Is Yours

"You're talking nonsense again!" Liao Bier scolded.

Yun'er said aggrievedly: "That's what it is. Miss, where have you ever seen that kind of place and suffered such hardships? You haven't seen it. The food in this inn is really inedible, and the cook didn't even wash his hands..."

Liao Bier frowned slightly, and said: "Okay, needless to say, let their cook come out, didn't we bring a cook? Get me some food, after I finish eating, I will go to find Uncle Gu, I heard from Ruoxian that Uncle Gu came to Xiushan County to meet an old friend these few days, and I want to find him, he has always been very supportive."

Yun'er got up and said: "That's the best, servant girl will go downstairs to prepare." After speaking, she left.

……

Since the stone was injured, Wang Runxue started to be busy again. First, she went to see the properties given by Yang Qianhu one by one, and reorganized some storefronts. The children and the accountants are busy, but fortunately, Murong Yulan and Lin Qingdai take care of Wuweitang's business. Shitou looks anxious, but he can't do anything. The wound is gradually healing. He wanted to get out of bed, but Du Wenhao didn't Let, I can only calm down and heal my wounds.

At noon, Wang Runxue came back from the outside with a few people to check. The carriage arrived at the door, and saw a man who looked like an officer and a soldier riding a horse at the door, and a carriage stopped outside the door, and three or four people got down.

Wang Runxue was wondering, Gu Yifei came here by himself, why there were so many officers and soldiers suddenly, and the people who got off the car were all women, and they looked like a young lady and three maids by their attire.

Wang Runxue got out of the car and ignored it. Just as she was about to enter the door, she suddenly saw a maid approaching her, saluted herself, and spoke very politely.

"Excuse me, is this Yunfan Villa?"

Lian Er said: "Exactly."

"Excuse me, does Mr. Gu live here?"

Wang Runxue said: "You are..."

The young lady stepped forward with a dignified appearance, especially her pair of eyes, which were clear and energetic.

"We came from the capital to find Mr. Gu, he is my uncle."

Wang Runxue asked the accountant to take these people into the yard, and ordered the porter to invite Gu Yifei out.

Gu Yifei came out quickly and saw Wang Runxue was talking with several people. When he entered the door, it turned out to be Liao Bier.

Seeing Gu Yifei coming in, Liao Bier quickly got up and saluted.

"Bi'er met Uncle Gu."

Wang Runxue heard the name familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard it. Gu Yifei smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Liao Bi'er said: "I heard from Ruoxian that Uncle Gu came to Xiushan County, and Bi'er also came to see a friend, so I came to see you."

Gu Yifei introduced Liao Bi'er to Wang Runxue, and said, "This is Liao Kebi's daughter."

Wang Runxue was stunned, why did she come to the door, but she kept her expression calm and said with a smile: "So it's Miss Liao, how rude you were just now."

Gu Yifei said: "This is the second wife of my virtuous brother Du Yunfan, Wang Runxue."

When Liao Bier saw Wang Runxue before, she felt that this woman was very beautiful, she looked very noble in every gesture, but she didn't look like an ordinary wife, so she hurriedly saluted.

"Bi'er has met the second lady."

Wang Runxue said: "You guys talk first, I still have something to do."

Liao Bier watched Wang Runxue walk out elegantly, and then sat down with Gu Yifei.

Wang Runxue came out of the hall, called a servant and asked, "Did the master go to Wuweitang?"

The servant replied: "It passed early in the morning, and it will take some time before I can come back."

Wang Runxue hurriedly asked him to call Du Wenhao back, but he was in a hurry.

Lian'er said: "When did Second Madam get so anxious?"

Wang Runxue said in a low voice: "I'll tell you later, go find someone to inform Liu Zixu, and say that Liao Bier has come to see Gu Yifei. I don't know if she already knows about Liu Zixu's relationship with us. Tell him not to come here for now, and let Le Qi Just don't come here."

Lian Er was surprised: "Could it be that the lady just now is Liao Bier?"

Wang Runxue nodded, Lian'er said: "Okay, then I am now."

Just as Wang Runxue was about to go to the inner courtyard, the porter came to report that Yunniang had come. Wang Runxue said to herself, "Why are you here?" and walked towards the door.

I saw Yun Niang dressed as a servant, waiting in the porter's room.

Wang Runxue said: "Time flies so fast, it's been another month in a flash, and I forgot that you should come these two days."

Yun Niang bowed and saluted, and said: "Second Madam is really a fortune teller, Yun Niang really admires Second Madam to the extreme, there is no reason not to come."

Wang Runxue took Yunniang to the side hall to talk. When passing by the hall, seeing Gu Yifei and Liao Bier having a happy conversation, and hearing the word Liu Zixu inadvertently, Wang Runxue felt uneasy.

When we arrived at the side hall, the maids served tea and then retreated.

Wang Runxue said: "When I saw you just now, I was stunned. You were dressed as a servant, and if you didn't look carefully, you really didn't see it. It's really hard for you to follow what I said."

Yun Niang said: "Second Madam, don't say that anymore. If it wasn't for Second Madam, how could my husband treat me like this? It's too late for Yun Niang to be grateful."

Wang Runxue said: "So, he has seen your intentions."

Yun Niang said: "Not only that, he saw that I was working very hard all day, so he asked Bao'er to help me. I followed the second lady's order and insisted not to let Baoer come to help me, but Baoer just listened to me. I came here on the advice of my husband, and when I saw that I didn’t want to help, I hurried back, and as expected, my husband was not very happy with what Bao’er had done.”

Wang Runxue said: "You husband and wife have feelings after all, that's why they feel so distressed seeing you."

Yun Niang said: "But what should I do next, I also ask the second lady to advise."

Wang Runxue said: "I thought that after this month, you would come to see me in a new outfit. How about it, tomorrow you will come to see me in your old attire."

After listening to Wang Runxue's words, Yunniang said: "Okay, it's just that I have been bothering the second lady like this all the time. I really don't want to go. I don't know how to thank you."

Wang Runxue joked: "Then you have to think about how you should thank me."

Yunniang smiled and said: "That's for sure, Yunniang is not a person who knows how to repay her kindness."

The two talked in the room for a while, and then they walked out the door, seeing Gu Yifei and Liao Bier also coming out of the hall.

Wang Runxue didn't come forward to strike up a conversation, but just sent Yun Niang to the door, and saw Du Wenhao galloping over on horseback.

Yunniang didn't see Du Wenhao, she just bid farewell to Wang Runxue, got into the sedan chair and left.

Du Wenhao got off his horse, and his servants stepped forward to lead the horse.

Du Wenhao said: "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Wang Runxue looked into the yard and saw Gu Yifei and Liao Bier walking out the door, so she whispered, "Liao Bier is here, I think she told Gu Yifei everything."

Du Wenhao said: "Liao Bi'er? Could it be that Gu Yi flew here for this?"

Just as he was talking, he saw Gu Yifei walking out the door with Liao Bier.

Liao Bier saw a young man standing at the door, very handsome, with bright eyes and white teeth, tall and tall, talking with Wang Runxue there.

When Gu Yifei saw Du Wenhao came back, he said with a smile: "I just told Bi'er to wait for my virtuous brother to come back and meet with me before leaving. She said that she has an appointment with Liu Zixu tonight, so it's not good to delay. Unexpectedly, you came back, Bi'er hastened to meet my good brother."

Liao Bier thought to herself, I always thought that the well-known Du Yunfan was about the same age as Uncle Gu, and that he was worthless for this second wife. How could such a beautiful girl marry a person in his 50s or [-]s? The man in front of him who looks better than Pan An turned out to be Uncle Gu's younger brother, Du Yunfan!
Liao Bi'er stepped forward to salute and said, "Bi'er has seen Mr. Du."

Du Wenhao also thought that the woman in front of him was almost the same as what Liu Zixu described, she was even better than Le Qi in terms of beauty, she looked easy-going.

Du Wenhao pretended not to know about Liao Bi'er, and said, "Why, does miss know Zixu? Why didn't I hear Zixu mention it?"

Liao Bi'er didn't know how to answer, Gu Yifei said: "This is all about these juniors, it's probably hard to tell you, didn't I tell you last time that Liu Zixu will soon be the son-in-law of the Liao family. She is Liu Zixu's future wife."

Liao Bi'er became shy, and said: "Uncle Gu is making fun of me again, I haven't written my horoscope yet, so I'll take my leave first."

Du Wenhao said: "Since you're here, don't rush to leave, I'll just let Zixu come here."

Gu Yifei said: "Then the relationship is good. I just want to see him too. Last time he was in a hurry to meet Miss Le Qi, so he didn't have a good talk."

When Liao Bier heard what Gu Yifei said, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but he immediately recovered, and said, "How can Bier bother Mr. Du?"

Du Wenhao said: "What is this called? The visitor is a guest. Besides, Zixu and Zixu have a very good relationship. You shouldn't be polite to Master Gu and Zixu. Although the humble house is a little rough, if Miss Liao doesn't mind ..."

Liao Bier hurriedly said: "How could it be, if I am more polite, the master will misunderstand me, then respect is worse than obedience, I just stay, it's just..."

Du Wenhao said: "Miss Liao, please tell me."

Liao Bi'er hesitated for a moment, but it was still hard to say, but Yun'er at the side was clever, and said: "Our young lady also wants to meet that young lady named Le Qi from the Sun family. I wonder if it is convenient for you to introduce me?"

Du Wenhao immediately said: "No problem, Xue'er, just send someone to pick up Zixu and Le Qi. Let's go in and talk."

Wang Runxue found an excuse and said, "Master, there is one more matter, which is the rent collection of tenants outside the city. I still want to wait for you to decide. I'm afraid I will forget it when I get busy. See if you can decide now." , so that I can let the servants do it.”

Gu Yifei said: "Then you talk about things, and Bi'er and I will go in and talk." After speaking, he took Liao Bier and left.

Wang Runxue said in a low voice: "Is this Liao Bi'er so anxious to see Le Qi?"

Du Wenhao said: "It doesn't matter, just follow what we agreed in advance, and there are benefits to seeing you early, so go quickly."

Liao Bier said to Gu Yifei: "Why didn't Ruoxian tell me that Mr. Du was such a young man?"

Gu Yifei said: "Not only is he young, but he is also young and promising. Your Liu Zixu can respect Du Yunfan very much, like his elder brother. No, it's not complete. If Du Yunfan was not young, I would say It’s not too much to want to treat your father.”

Liao Bier was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Gu Yifei said: "I heard that Mr. Du first saved Miss Sun's life, and then sponsored Liu Zixu to study and get a good name. Anyway, I don't know very well."

Liao Bier looked back at Du Yunfan who was talking at the door, and said, "I really can't tell."

Gu Yifei said: "Did Ruoxian tell you that your aunt Hualuo's life was also saved by Du Yunfan?"

Liao Bier said: "I heard Ruoxian mentioned this, and said that Zier also likes Mr. Du very much."

Gu Yifei said with a smile: "Not only Zi'er, but even your grandfather Gu likes him very much."

Liao Bier smiled and said, "I think Uncle Gu also likes Mr. Du very much."

Gu Yifei said: "This person is kind-hearted, he is neither flattering nor courteous, what is just a kind of arrogance emanating from the inside out."

Liao Bier said suspiciously, "I don't believe it. If Uncle Gu said it was so good, then why did he invite you here?"

Gu Yifei smiled and said: "Where would he invite me, I came here uninvited."

Liao Bier was stunned, and said: "Then Uncle Gu came all this way just to see him?"

Gu Yifei said: "Your Grandpa Gu missed him, but there was no news about him after he left the capital, so he asked me to come over to see if there is anything that needs to help him, but it seems that he doesn't need anything, even if He needs help, and he won't come to us."

Liao Bier said: "Then why?"

Gu Yifei said: "Because he said that he doesn't like dealing with powerful people."

Liao Bier said: "Oh, it would be bad if this is the case."

Seeing that Liao Bier's face turned pale, Gu Yifei asked, "What's the matter?"

Liao Bi'er explained: "Since Mr. Liu listens to Mr. so much, and Mr. Liu is a lofty and arrogant person, could Mr. Liu be influenced by Mr., so that he doesn't want to marry me...with me?"

Gu Yifei said: "Probably, Yun Fan never mentioned this matter to me, but I think, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't tell me about it, otherwise he would know about the relationship between our two families. Let me tell you from it, it's not difficult, let's not talk about whether you accept me or not, at least he didn't even think about coming to me, which shows that he doesn't want to get close to us."

Seeing Gu Yifei's gloomy expression, Liao Bi'er was about to say a few words of comfort when she saw three beautiful women coming from the corridor. Although they were not as beautiful as the second lady before, they were all very pretty.

Liao Bier asked in a low voice, "Who are these three?"

Gu Yifei looked at it and said: "The one on the left is Du Yunfan's eldest wife, Pang Yuqin, the middle one is the fourth lady named Lian'er, the one on the right is Xue Fei'er, and the sixth lady I haven't seen in confinement. The fifth lady, Lin Qingdai, is in Wuweitang."

Liao Bier exclaimed: "Where did this Mr. Du get such a good fortune? He has all the beauties in the emotional world for himself."

Gu Yifei said: "Who says it's not, I thought the same way when I saw them."

Sun He saw that Wang Runxue hurried to find Le Qi, and only said that she was looking for a table to play with the horse hanging. Sun He had always been worried that Le Qi would be unhappy because of the Feng family's affairs. Now that someone came, it was natural Happy, let Le Qi go with Wang Runxue.

Le Qi got into the car, but saw Liu Zixu was also there, and said, "Why are you here too, didn't you have an appointment with Liao Bier tonight?"

Wang Runxue briefly told the two of them that Liao Bi'er had arrived at Yunfan Villa.

Le Qi said: "Why is she so eager to see me?"

Wang Runxue said: "It's normal for her to be anxious to see you. It's just that the plan has changed. I didn't expect a Gu Yifei to intervene before. Anyway, I just play it by ear."

Le Qi glanced at Liu Zixu, feeling a little uneasy, but she didn't say it out loud.

Seeing Le Qi's mood, Liu Zixu comforted him: "Don't worry, don't you still have Mr. and Mrs. Er? Besides, we agreed, no matter what, don't give up first."

Wang Runxue said: "What Zixu said is, with so many people on your side, what are you worried about?"

Le Qi said: "I don't know why, but I always feel that this Liao Bier is not someone who let go easily."

Wang Runxue said: "It doesn't matter whether she will let go easily, as long as you and Zixu don't give up easily."

Liu Zixu said: "Trust me, I won't give up on you."

Le Qi forced a smile, but felt more and more uneasy in her heart.

The three of them arrived at the gate of Yunfan Villa in a carriage, but they saw Liao Bier standing alone at the gate, and came over when the carriage stopped.

Le Qi's woman's unique intuition told herself that this person was Liao Bi'er, and said, "Is that her?"

Liu Zixu nodded, and got out of the car first, helped the second lady down, and then took Le Qi's hand to let her get out of the car, this was the first time Liu Zixu held Le Qi's hand, Le Qi's body was slightly Shocked, he lowered his head and blushed, not daring to look up at Liu Zixu.

Liao Bi'er saw it in her eyes and knew that Liu Zixu was doing it for herself, and then looked at the girl he was holding, her skin was as soft as jade and soft as greasy, her small cherry mouth was not spotty but red, delicate and charming, and there were two strands of hair around her cheeks. The silk is gently blowing against the face with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the flexible eyes turn shrewdly, with a bit of mischievousness, shyness, and mischievousness.

Liao Bier took the initiative to step forward, and said with a smile, "This is Le Qi, right? I don't know how old I am this year, should I call me sister or sister."

Le Qi saw that Liao Bi'er was so generous, and she seemed a bit petty for being so shy, so she bowed gracefully and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to let Miss Liao wait at the door, I'm this year, I don't know how old Miss is? "

Liao Bier said: "Then I should call you sister, I won't be until October." After finishing speaking, she took Le Qi's hand affectionately and said, "Let's go, I thought it would take a while, who Thinking that you guys came so soon, the second lady went to pick them up personally."

Wang Runxue said: "It's okay, let's go in."

Liao Bier didn't speak to Liu Zixu from the beginning to the end, she didn't even make eye contact, she just held Le Qi's hand, followed Wang Runxue into the gate, and Liu Zixu followed behind them.

"I heard from Mr. Liu that my sister was in poor health a while ago, but is she better now?" Liao Bier asked.

"It's ready." Le Qi felt that Liao Bi'er's hand was a little cold, but it was very soft.

"That's good. I have been weak since I was a child. I have been taking a medicine called Ruanxiang Wan, which is used to replenish qi and blood. I will give some to my sister, and my sister will also take it. It is good for my body."

"Thank you Miss Liao."

"Sister, it's better to call me Bi'er, miss, isn't it a birthright?" Liao Bi'er looked at Le Qi with a smile, and found thin beads of sweat on Le Qi's forehead, so she took out her juan handkerchief Wipe her.

Le Qi was startled, and instinctively took a step back.

Liao Bier laughed and said, "Is my sister worried that my sister's handkerchief is not clean?"

Le Qi kept encouraging herself, don't let her be compared to Liao Bi'er like this, when she thought of Liu Zixu and Mr. Du's family, Le Qi regained her composure, smiled, and said, "How could it be? Instead, I'm worried about dirtying my sister's veil."

Liao Bi'er gently wiped the sweat off Le Qi's forehead, Zi Xu looked at Le Qi's eyebrows, smiled and said: "What a beauty, no wonder Mr. Liu insisted on retiring my marriage, if it was me, I think I'd hesitate too."

Le Qi didn't know how to answer, she just thought that this Liao Bi'er was really good at talking, how could she be her opponent.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, Du Wenhao and Gu Yifei saw them coming in, and they invited everyone to sit down and talk.

Yingzi followed in and said, "Master, the food is ready, look..."

Wang Runxue said: "When I went to pick up Le Qi, they were about to eat, and I didn't let her eat first. Anyway, I thought they would eat when they came over. Master, why don't we eat first and then talk about it."

Du Wenhao felt that it was fine to talk at the dinner table, even if it was embarrassing, it was okay to eat with his head down, so he agreed and invited everyone to the dining room.

When everyone entered the dining room, Liao Bier took the initiative to say: "Sister, let's sit next to Young Master Liu. My sister and I can sit together so we can talk."

Le Qi was hesitating, Du Wenhao glanced at her with coaxing and encouraging eyes, she nodded and sat beside Liu Zixu.

Gu Yifei said: "Why don't you let Da Furen and other wives at home come and sit together, it's also lively."

Wang Runxue said: "I've already called, Da Furen and the others will come here soon." While speaking, Pang Yuqin, Lian'er, and Xue Fei'er came in and sat down respectively.

Liao Bier said: "Before, I told Uncle Gu that you are very lucky. The wives are so beautiful, which is really enviable."

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "There's nothing to be envious of, it's just living a life."

Gu Yifei said: "Okay, we all know each other anyway, we still eat and talk, Bi'er, you don't know, the cook at Mr. Du's family has been trained in the capital, the food tastes very good, you I'm probably hungry too, hurry up and try it."

Liao Bier put an eggplant box on Le Qi's plate, Du Wenhao saw it but didn't speak, thinking, this Liao Bier is better than Le Qi after all.
