Yan Zi is the old Duke's right-hand man. He used to follow him. Now that he is older, he stays with the old Duke to run errands. He has won the trust of the old Duke and has a very high status in the Duke's mansion.
Seriously, even Chu Qianhao and others would be polite when meeting him.
Mother Dong naturally did not dare to be careless, so she was very polite to Yan Zi. However, after hearing Yan Zi's words, Mother Dong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The old man had always disliked the young lady, and had not called her to the main house for many years.
What's the matter with someone coming here to summon the young lady? Mother Dong thought to herself, and couldn't help but softly said: "What's wrong with the old lady looking for the young lady? The young lady is already asleep now."
The expression on Yan Zi's face did not change, and he said calmly: "I was just ordered to bring people. Mother Dong went in and called the second young lady, saying that the old lady wanted to see her immediately."
There seemed to be no room for negotiation in these words. Mother Dong became more and more uneasy, but she knew that it would be impossible for the young lady to go there, so she turned around and prepared to go into the room to call the young lady.
In fact, Chu Liuyue hadn't slept yet. She was washing in the room and getting ready to rest. When she heard Yan Zi's voice outside, she opened the curtain and walked out. She stood on the steps and looked at Yan Zi with a smile on her face.
Said: "It turns out to be Uncle Zi. It's so late and I have to ask you to come here at such an old age. Liu Yue really can't bear it."
From the memory of her previous life, Chu Liuyue knew that Yan Zi was a loyal dog beside the old prince. Because the old man didn't like her, Yan Zi didn't have a good attitude towards her.
Yan Zi was stunned after hearing Chu Liuyue's words. He raised his eyes and stared at Chu Liuyue. Under the moonlight, he saw that Chu Liuyue was wearing an ordinary dress, with her dark hair on her head lightly pulled up, and no accessories.
No, it's no different from usual, but now she has a cold expression, the aura emanating from her whole body is full of coldness, and her dark pupils are constantly showing brilliance. Such a woman actually makes her
Yan Zi felt uneasy for no reason. Then he remembered the business he had come to do today and bent slightly.
"I came here at the request of the old master to invite the second young lady to come to the meeting hall."
"It seems that there will be another Hongmen party tonight, but I am not afraid."
Chu Liuyue said freely and uninhibitedly, and stepped down the steps, followed closely by Pomegranate. Dong's mother followed her for two steps and warned her with concern: "Miss, when you get in front of the old man, don't talk nonsense.
"
Although the old Mr. Guo is no longer in charge, he is still a man of his word in the Chu family and is very shrewd. That's why Mother Dong is worried. Although the young lady now is shrewder and more scheming than before, she still cannot be careless.
Chu Liuyue nodded: "Don't worry, Mama Dong, I'll be fine."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door of Taoyuan. Behind her, Yan Zi and the two or three subordinates she brought looked at her back. How could she feel that the second young lady now was different from before? What on earth happened?
.
The group of people quickly headed to the Chu Mansion's meeting hall.
The meeting hall is located in the main residence. It is very spacious, gorgeously designed, and has many seats. This is where the Chu family usually holds important matters and discusses matters.
At this moment, there were several people sitting in the conference hall, all of whom had serious expressions. The current Duke of Guo is Chu Qianhe, the eldest son of the Duke of Guo. He has a wife named Qin and a second wife named Chu Qianzhang. They are not involved in official circles and are in Shangjing City.
He runs several shops and also lives in the Chu Mansion. As for the third eldest brother, he is Chu Liuyue’s father, Chu Qianhao. Chu Qianhao climbed up to the rank of fourth-grade cabinet bachelor through his own efforts.
Although his official position is not high, he is a member of the emperor's cabinet and can usually speak some words, so the old Duke is still very satisfied with this son.
It's just that so many things have happened in the third child's room recently, so the old prince became unhappy with Chu Qianhao's face.
At this moment, sitting in the conference hall are the current Duke of Guo and the Qin family, the second concubine Chu Qianzhang and his wife Jiang, and the third concubine Chu Qianhao and his wife Ye. However, Ye is not sitting.
But he was kneeling on the ground.
The old man was punishing her earlier, so she was naturally kneeling.
When Mrs. Ye was being reprimanded, the happiest person was Mrs. Jiang, the second wife. Not to mention how happy she was. Even though she tried her best to hold back, it was not difficult to see that her eyes were narrowed with joy.
As for the Duke's wife, Mrs. Qin, she has a burden on her shoulders. The old man had previously punished her for not admonishing her, so how could she dare to show happiness?
In the meeting hall, everyone else was silent. Even Chu Qianhao was quite dissatisfied with Ye's actions. Something like that happened in the palace before. He didn't like to repent after returning to the palace, and even summoned a Taoist priest into the palace.
Isn't this nonsense?
Seeing everyone's silence, Mr. Ye, who was at the bottom, said aggrievedly again.
"Old man, my daughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes. There are ghosts in the peach courtyard. The leaves are floating in the broad daylight. Is it in the small garden?"
The word "little bitch" that Mrs. Ye almost blurted out was awakened by Mrs. Qin's cold eyes, and she quickly changed her words: "It was just above Liu Yue's head, motionless. My daughter-in-law was not the only one who saw it at that time.
But many people have seen it, and if they don’t believe it, the old man can call people over to question him.”
Not to mention how ugly the old man's face was. He didn't believe in the theory of ghosts at all. Moreover, it was not impossible to make the fallen leaves float in mid-air. As long as you had deep inner strength, you could control the fallen leaves with your inner strength. What's the matter?
Strange.
But after listening to Ye's words, the old Duke became more and more sure of one thing, that is, there must be a powerful master hidden behind Liu Yue. He is helping Liu Yue. Does this person want to deal with Chu?
Mansion.
Mrs. Ye, who was at the bottom, was still crying: "Old man, you have to believe what my daughter-in-law says. My daughter-in-law didn't talk nonsense."
Chu Qianhao really couldn't listen to what his wife said. He also knew that there was something strange about the fallen leaves, but it was not a ghost or god. It was probably someone controlling the fallen leaves with internal force, which made it float. When did Liuyue touch it?
I fell in love with such a powerful master.
Chu Qianhao thought suspiciously, and shouted coldly at Ye who was looking down at him: "Shut up, you still have the nerve to cry, so wasn't it your idea to invite Master Zhang in to do some kind of housekeeping? The dignified Chu Mansion actually
Believe in ghosts and gods, what do you want the people in Shangjing City to say about us people in the Chu Mansion? The dignified aunt cannot tolerate a daughter, how do you think you sit in this position?"
Chu Qianhao's eyes were a little cold. He was disappointed with Ye's recent performance.
Seeing the look in Chu Qianhao's eyes, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel more and more panicked. She must know that the most important thing to survive in a big house is to capture the man's heart. If the man's heart changes, then even if she takes power,
She wouldn't be happy either, so Ms. Ye didn't dare to cry anymore.
At this time, Yan Zi walked in from outside the door and reported: "Old Master, the second lady is here."
The hall became quiet for a moment, and many people looked at the door. The old man waved his hand to bring Chu Liuyue in.
Soon two slender and thin figures walked in. The one in front of them was Chu Liuyue. She was wearing old clothes and thick skirts, and there were no accessories on her head. The old man frowned and glared fiercely.
After taking a look at Ye, this woman seems to be stupid. Even if she wants to do something, she should at least do something on the surface. When such a legitimate daughter goes out, people will suspect that her stepmother is abusing her, unless she can be locked up for the rest of her life.
She, if you don't let her show up, no wonder the recent events are happening layer by layer.
Chu Liuyue led Pomegranate in. She was not afraid of anyone. She walked to the center of the meeting hall and saluted the shrewd and gloomy old man above her.
"Liuyue has met her grandfather, her eldest uncle, her eldest aunt, her second uncle and her second aunt, her father and her mother."
A long string of words were spoken smoothly and smoothly without breathing or jumping. The posture was even more dignified and elegant. The whole body exudes the nobility of a legitimate daughter, and the eyes are clear and transparent.
Now everyone in the meeting hall looked at her, and then at the old man above.
This Chu Liuyue is really different from before. What is going on? Think about it, Chu Liuyue before and Chu Liuyue now are really completely different. Although their appearance is the same, their personality and behavior are completely different.
The old man stared at Chu Liuyue with squinted eyes. Chu Liuyue looked at the old man and found that his eyes were full of doubts about her. It seemed that he suspected that she was not the real Chu Liuyue.
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Liuyue finished speaking, she heard the old man above him say coldly: "Who are you?"
When the people in the hall heard what the old man said, they all turned and looked at Chu Liuyue. She couldn't really be possessed by a ghost as Qin said.
The first person to speak was Ms. Jiang, with a hint of panic in her words: "Is she really possessed by a ghost?"
Chu Liuyue's face darkened. This Jiang family was so careless in what he said. How could he say such things in front of others?
The old man in charge was angry at Jiang: "Shut up, will you die if you don't speak?"
