I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 484
Chen Liu's eyes were fixed on the thick stack of bank notes on the table.

The minimum face value is 100 taels. Judging from the thickness, there are at least a dozen of them, which is more than 1000 taels of silver.

Although he has a special status in the Chai Mansion, he only receives a little more wages than ordinary servants every month.

Sometimes the old lady would reward him with a few taels of silver when she saw that he was doing things properly, but after calculation, it was only two or thirty taels of silver a year.

Aside from the expenses of the whole family, he actually doesn't have much money left throughout the year, no different from ordinary people.

Just like what the third lady said, if he truthfully reported what the third lady did, at best, he would only get a compliment and a few taels of money, which would not change his current situation.

But if he accepted the suggestion of the third lady, not only could he get the more than 1000 taels of silver, but he would not have to run around in the morning and evening, and he would not even have time to go home.

Thinking of how earth-shaking changes would be brought to their family's life with these 1000 taels of silver, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.

The two children can go to school, the father does not have to get up early every day to sell vegetables, and the wife does not have to weave until late at night after finishing the housework. The money can be used to open a small shop or be deposited in the royal bank for interest.

With more income, the whole family can relax and enjoy life to the fullest, isn't this what I have always dreamed of.

In his eyes, that small stack of bank notes is no longer a simple stack of paper, but the beginning of his future beautiful life.

But is it really a choice?

Choosing the third wife is tantamount to betraying the Chai family. Will the Chai family let her go?

But if you don't choose the third lady, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up a great opportunity.

After hesitating for a long time, his simple head struggled for a long time, and finally compromised with money.

He knelt down beside the third lady with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice,

"Third Madam, Chen Liu is willing to let you be the only master, and everything will be at your command from now on!"

The third lady gently pushed the bank note in front of him, chuckled lightly,
"Your choice is correct, please feel at ease with the money, and follow me well in the future, you will get more than just this reward."

Chen Liu slowly put the money into his pocket, hesitated for a while but still expressed his worries,

"Ma'am, the Second Young Master is in the same boat as us. He may not say anything about it, but sooner or later, the old lady will let the old lady know about it. What should we do then!"

The third lady has a well-thought-out way,
"You don't have to worry about this, maybe by that time, we will no longer be members of the Chai family!"

"Ah! Ma'am, where did you start saying this? You are not from the Chai family, who else can you be!"

Since the third lady has subdued him, she doesn't intend to keep him secret.
"Presumably you also know that the old lady and the others have already discussed in private, let the second bedroom take over from me to manage the business of the Chai family.

This is not a rumor, but a fact. If the third young master did not try his best to stop it, I am afraid that the third young master and I would be alone at this time. "

Chen Liuwu couldn't believe that the Chai family would treat the third wife like this.

"The old lady shouldn't be so heartless, you are the hero who brought back the Chai family, how could they be so cold!"

The third lady smiled bitterly and said,

"You are just a servant, and you still know too little. The third young master's health is getting worse day by day. If the third young master can't hold on one day, I'm afraid it's time for the Chai family to liquidate me."

The third young master Chai Jun's body has been repeated recently, and Chen Liu has also heard about it.

But because he had heard similar news many times since many years ago, he didn't take this news seriously.

But this time is obviously different. Judging from the tone of the third lady, I am afraid that the third young master may really not be able to hold on this time.

The second-bedroom and third-bedroom people have long been sharpening their swords and waiting for the third lady to let go of the power in her hands.

He could imagine that the third lady was a woman after all, and her background was not glorious.

No matter how capable he is, if he loses the protection of the nominal head of the Chai family, is seized of power, or even kicked out, it is very possible.

He has already made up his mind to rely on her. Hearing such a pessimistic forecast from the third lady, he didn't want to lose everything just after he defected, so he hurriedly asked,

"Madam, what shall we do next!"

There was a ray of coldness in the eyes of the third lady, and she snorted coldly,
"Since the Chai family is not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous, I have to make plans for the future!

I want to get back what belongs to me from the Chai family, but it will take time, so I need your help, help me pass some false news to the old lady and the others! "

Chen Liu was a little terrified by the cold eyes of the third lady, but he thought about it, the more the third lady benefits, the more benefits he can get in the future, the stronger the third lady is, the more he can protect his own Safety.

After thinking about it, he calmed down.

"Despite Madam's orders, the villain will definitely do it well!"

"Okay, very good, the first thing you have to do is very simple, that is to find a way to find out the specific situation of the third young master at this time.

These days, they no longer let me see the third young master. I guess the third young master is really dying. "

When the third lady said this, her expression didn't change at all, she didn't look like she was talking about her husband again.

Chen Liu is also a very decisive person, otherwise, it would be impossible for the old lady to arrange by the third lady's side for so many years. Once he made up his mind, it would be very difficult to change.

He ignored the calm and chilling tone of the third lady, but nodded solemnly and said,

"Madam, don't worry, the villain will be able to find out specific information before tomorrow night at the latest."

"Don't be so eager, it doesn't matter if you are late, everything should be careful, and you must not startle them and make them suspicious."

"Yes, the little one understands!"

After arranging everything, the third lady really felt a little tired.

In the past few days, while she was busy preparing for the auction, she had to fight wits with the Chai family, and also took time to build a good relationship with Zhang Qinghuan. Basically, she didn't have much time to rest during the day.

After talking to Chen Liu about some matters that need attention, the third lady went back to rest under his escort.

Before Chen Liu left, the third lady said to him again,
"I don't feel at ease with this kid, Hong Hong. If you have nothing to do during the day tomorrow, go and watch him, and don't let anything happen to him!"

"Yes, the villain remembers."
