The main reason is that each of these people has their own abilities. If he did not have the protection and help of these people, he would not be able to control the entire northwest by himself.
At this time, confidant No. 3 said with a solemn face: "Director, are you okay with the few who came from Kyoto this time?"
Director Yuan smiled confidently and asked, "What do you think?"
Confidant No. 3 thought that Director Yuan's magical powers had never failed, so he felt relieved and smiled without saying anything.
The reason why the three armies in the northwest did not make a fuss, and the reason why the situation in the northwest did not reach the capital, was all due to Director Yuan's strange magical power. Fortunately, Director Yuan was the master's man, and would not use those methods against his own people. Read the book
But having said that, they, the so-called members of their own family, are also afraid of Director Yuan's magical power, fearing that he will use that method on themselves at some point and fall prey to it unknowingly.
If you lose your wealth or even your life, who can you ask for explanation?
Therefore, everyone present just looked at the appearance of being friendly, but in fact they were more wary of each other than anyone else.
None of them noticed that a black shadow drifted past their window.
Return to Qibao'er.
At this time, Qi Baoer, who was supposed to be resting in the treasurer's office, and in the eyes of Director Yuan and others, was actually resting in the treasurer's office, was instead removing tiles from the roof of Liu's mansion with General Yuan and others.
The Liu Mansion below is a lively one, one, two, three... Counting eleven women with different looks surrounding a middle-aged man, weeping more and more heartbrokenly.
A black shadow joined in smoothly and crouched beside Wang Liu.
Yuchi, who did not observe the whole process, slapped Wang Liu's elbow and asked, "What's happening next?"
Wang Liu was eating the melon with great enthusiasm, and the interest on his face was almost overflowing, "For some reason, Yuan Liu suddenly wanted to dismiss the concubines in the mansion, and none of them were willing to leave. Why don't they make a fuss about it?"
They were already making a fuss when they arrived, but they listened for a long time before they figured out what was going on.
By the way, Yuan Liu’s concubine has too much money, right?
Moreover, for a stepwife with eleven concubines, only the first wife who died young gave birth to a son. Why does this feel weird?
Wang Liu's expression gradually began to change.
Yuchi: "..."
At this time, a woman in her thirties, who was about thirty years old, dressed in dark colored clothes and dressed more dignifiedly than the other women, walked in.
As soon as this woman entered the house, she was much more imposing than Liu Yuanwai. With a cold look, all the warblers in the house immediately stopped.
Liu Yuanwai, who was originally a big-headed person, looked like a savior when he saw the visitor. He smiled and went to welcome her, and personally helped the woman to sit down at the main seat.
"Madam is here. It's my husband's fault that I bothered Madam."
Qi Baoer and General Yuan looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes. Isn't this attitude not quite right?
Liu Yuanwai calls his wife, and the imposing woman below is obviously Liu Yuanwai's stepwife.
Speaking of Liu Yuanwai's stepwife, according to Wuyingjun's investigation, her identity is indeed a bit special.
Mrs. Liu's surname is Xu, and she comes from the Xu family, a prominent family in the capital. Although the Xu family has been in decline, it has risen slightly in Mrs. Liu's father's generation and has produced a third-rank general.
The first wife of Yuan Liu is the biological sister of this third-rank general of the Xu family.
As for why the legitimate daughter of a big family in Kyoto would marry a small businessman from the northwest, it's because there's a lot of blood mixed into it.
The legitimate daughter was abducted when she was a child and sold to the northwest. Hey, what a coincidence, she was sold next door to Yuan Liu's wife's house.
The little girl was sold, but she was not so lucky to be sold as a daughter, but as a maid.
It's ridiculous to say that, since she is a maid, she cannot escape the routine of being humiliated and suffered since she was a child.
Then add a life-saving grace.
Liu Yuanwai was naughty when he was young. He often did things that adults considered "he cannot be taught." For example, he did not learn well at a young age but ran to the mountains instead of going to class. For example, he climbed a tree and hid while waiting for his classmates to attack with bugs after school.
Classmates, wait.
One time, member Liu was so bold that he wanted to catch a little green snake to scare his classmates. Then, he was the one who had done something wrong and was bitten by the snake first.
Unlucky luck came when the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, who was called by her master to go shopping, passed by and rescued Liu Yuanwai.
Out of gratitude, the Liu family bought the daughter-in-law of the Xu family from a neighbor and became Liu's maid.
The next story is about childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. When they got older, Liu Yuanwai married the legitimate daughter of the Xu family.
A year later, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family gave birth to Liu Yuanwai’s only son, Liu Xu.
Later, Liu Yuanwai took over the Liu family. As the head of the family, he often went to Beijing, and every time he went to Beijing, he would bring the Xu family's legitimate daughter with him. In a situation where I don't know whether it was fate or pure coincidence, the Xu family's legitimate daughter finally came to Beijing.
Get to know the Xu family.
But do you think that this is the perfect ending for the two families to get along well at the end of the story?
If that is the case, although the Xu family is not as good as it used to be, it still has some connections in Beijing. If the Xu family really helps the Liu family, the Liu family will not become a tool for someone to make money.
The Xu family itself is also in trouble. Xu's legitimate daughter's biological mother has passed away long ago. Xu's father remarried his childhood sweetheart as his stepwife less than a month after the death of his first wife.
But his most biological brother was raised by his stepwife.
Here we have to talk about Xu's father's plan. After Xu's father married his first wife, he arranged for his stepwife to enter the house and become his first wife's personal maid. The eldest son born to his first wife has always been a maid from the time he opened his eyes.
This stepwife is taking care of her.
No, Xu Daughter's brother, the only general who could possibly support her, had his heart set on her stepmother. On the contrary, he had no affection for Xu Daughter, her biological sister.
In fact, things in the inner house are inseparable from those. In short, General Xu and Xu's legitimate daughter were completely separated later, and he even threatened that even if she died outside, he would not take a look.
This guy is a ruthless person who always keeps his word. After his biological sister died of illness, he really didn't come to take a look.
Now let's talk about the current Mrs. Liu. She was also born in the Xu family, but she was not a direct descendant of the Xu family, but the concubine of General Xu's concubine's uncle's family.
She had a very good relationship with Liu Yuanwai's first wife. When Liu Yuanwai's first wife passed away, she was the only one in the Xu family who came forward.
This girl is also a ruthless person. She came to the Northwest with a courtesy and cut off ties with her family. The first thing she said when she saw Liu Yuanwai was to ask him to marry her, and she wanted to raise her nephew on her behalf.
This is not the most cruel thing. The most cruel thing is that before she left the Xu family, she broke General Xu's legs and took away a lot of small money from the Xu family.
This made Mrs. Xu so angry that she almost had a stroke, but she didn't get better. She fell and injured her coccyx. To this day, the old lady cannot sit for long periods of time and has to stay in bed all year round.
But the strange thing is...
"Why has the Xu family never caused trouble to Mrs. Liu?"
