Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen: The Liu Family Makes a Rumble
Early the next morning, Liuyun was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her forehead, looked haggard, and looked sadly at Wan Qing and Qianlan, who were helping her change clothes and wash up.
"Miss, we are really innocent. You also know how much the Sixth Madam can do, and we really can't stop her." Qianlan suddenly felt innocent. Apart from the second Madam Lin, the only person she hated most in the Mu Mansion was
This sixth lady, Mrs. Liu, was outraged by her shrewdness and unreasonableness.
"What on earth is she making?" Liu Yun had a splitting headache. She was frightened in the suburbs yesterday. She tossed and turned at night and was woken up again in the morning. She was now very irritable.
"It's not that the master asked the fifth lady to take power with the young lady, and the young lady doesn't like to take care of things. The fifth lady runs around everywhere without giving up, and people other than the second lady always give her troubles. It's the sixth lady who makes all sorts of troubles." In the late Qing Dynasty,
In fact, she understands Mrs. Liu's thoughts very well. She and Mrs. Jiang actually entered the mansion at the same time, and they have been favored alternately for some time. Now that the Lin family has collapsed, the master has given the management power of the mansion to Mrs. Jiang, so she naturally
It's all kinds of imbalance.
It is unforgivable to disturb her rest because of such a trivial matter.
Liuyun's eyes flashed with raging fire. This Liu family really thought that she, the eldest lady, was just a decoration, right?
Wan Qing and Qian Lan looked at each other and smiled, silently mourning for Mrs. Liu who was dragging Mrs. Jiang to wait in the main hall of Zhuyan Pavilion. It seemed that the good days of this sixth lady were coming to an end.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Jiang, do you have anything to do with me so early in the morning?" If it were normal, Liu Yun would probably pretend to be a lady with all the etiquette, but now she was annoyed to be disturbed.
When you are quiet and have nowhere to vent your anger, how can you care about these things.
"Miss..." The two of them nodded slightly towards Liu Yun. Although they were elders, they had different levels of hierarchy and they should be polite when they saw the eldest lady.
"Aunt Jiang, I heard from Uncle Zhong that you have been very busy these past two days. You have received a lot of things from Ji Ji Li, and you have to take stock of them for a long time, right?" Liu Yun tilted his head and drank the seafood porridge that Qianlan specially asked the kitchen to cook, casually.
said.
"Yes, Miss Lao is concerned." Mrs. Jiang nodded. The calculations in the past two days did take her a lot of time. If it weren't for the current housekeeper, she would not have known that the Mu family's wealth was so rich, not to mention the Mu family.
The shop property, just talking about the expenses in the backyard of the house, shocked her from ear to ear, especially Liuyun's gift for hair extensions, the gifts she received were so dizzying for her to count.
These hairpin gifts are also very prestigious. Although they are given to Liu Yun, they are first counted by the steward of Mu Mansion before they are transferred to Liu Yun's warehouse. Liu Yun has long known the people who gave the gifts.
He just used the names of Liu Yun and Ji Li to send gifts to the Mu family. Most of the gifts were directed at Mu Qingyang, so Liu Yun specifically asked the Jiang family to filter them, except those suitable for her little girl.
Things, gold, silver, jewelry, and other rare treasures were left in the Mu Mansion's warehouse to avoid the trouble of moving them around.
"Aunt Liu, it's true. You know Aunt Jiang is busy, why did you drag her to my place?" She ate the porridge slowly, but there was a bit of blame in her tone.
"Miss, the master asked the eldest lady and Sister Jiang to manage the backyard together. Now that I have a problem here and Sister Jiang can't solve it for me, I have no choice but to trouble the eldest lady." Mrs. Liu said solemnly.
, as if prepared in advance.
Liu Yun put down the small bowl, took the brocade handkerchief and wiped it before saying to her, "Aunt Liu, please speak."
"It's not a big deal to say. It's just that I was so angry that I couldn't help but bother the eldest lady." After saying this, Mrs. Liu didn't show any apology on her face. Instead, she kept talking: "The thing is.
Like this, something happened to my parents' family. My father's whereabouts are now unknown. The business at home has plummeted. After hearing the news, people from the bank came to ask for debts. Yesterday, my brother came to me to think of a solution. I originally wanted to
I went to ask the master for help, but the master left early today and said he would not come back until the day after tomorrow. I couldn’t afford to wait for two days at home, so I wanted Sister Jiang to transfer two thousand taels from the house’s expenses.
I’ll give it to you for urgent use. I’ll discuss it with you in detail when I get back.”
"Is two thousand taels enough?" Liu Yun asked curiously.
She was actually more curious about why Mrs. Liu was so sure that her father would agree to her using the Mu family's money to save her parents' family. As far as she knew, if her father hadn't helped out for the sake of Mrs. Liu, the Liu family's business would have
It collapsed a long time ago, and now Mr. Liu's whereabouts are unknown, and debt collectors are coming to his door. Is a mere two thousand taels enough?
As the saying goes, "rescuing emergencies but not relieving the poor", I'm afraid Liu's problem is not rescuing emergencies, but rescuing the poor, right?
Liu Yun's question made Mrs. Liu's eyes light up. She had never expected that Liu Yun would be so generous. She thought about it. How could such a young lady who didn't know the sufferings of the world know that two thousand taels was already something ordinary people could not earn in their lifetime?
of silver.
"Miss..." Ms. Jiang frowned deeply. Her original intention was for the eldest lady to reject Mrs. Liu, so she would not be able to make a fuss. Who would have expected that the eldest lady would be so generous? With her understanding of the eldest lady, how could she be so generous?
Someone who is so easy to persuade? What's more, two thousand taels of silver is not a small sum of money. Even for the wealthy Mu Mansion, such an amount has to be transferred.
"Aunt Jiang, our Mu family is not a person who refuses to save anyone. If my father were here, he would definitely help." Liu Yun smiled gently and continued, "Besides, Aunt Liu's father and my father
We also did business together, and now that his whereabouts are unknown, we naturally cannot turn a blind eye."
"But..." Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something more, but Liu Yun stopped her with a cold look.
Liu Yun was heard telling Wan Qing: "You accompany Aunt Liu to the accountant's office, and tell her what I promised, and pay Aunt Liu three thousand taels of silver."
"Yes." Wan Qing nodded, turned around and left.
"All the banks in Linyang City have a close relationship with my father, how could they be so in trouble? Don't they know that Aunt Liu is my father's sixth wife?" Liu Yun raised his head, with a bit of confusion in his tone.
Liu, who was following Wan Qing, paused for a moment and then quickened his pace, as if he had thought of some way. He seemed to have listened to Liu Yun's words.
After they walked away, Mrs. Jiang slowly walked up to Liu Yun, frowned and said, "Why did the eldest lady agree to her like this? Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount."
"Aunt Jiang, with my father's temperament, even if she knew that you gave her three thousand taels, she would only think that she was making too much trouble and you couldn't handle it, and she would never blame you for not keeping strict supervision. After all, Liu
I'm afraid even my father can't stand my aunt's noisy temper." At this point, Liu Yun smiled faintly again, "What's more, has Aunt Jiang never thought about Aunt Lin's status in my father's heart?
How could she decide to put her under house arrest so quickly? The last straw for her was that Aunt Lin cheated and took a large sum of money from the Mu family without telling my father to save the Lin family's business."
Mrs. Jiang's eyes widened in surprise. So what the eldest lady meant by asking Mrs. Liu to take away three thousand taels of silver was...
Looking at the cunning twinkling in the eldest lady's eyes, Ms. Jiang trembled for no reason. For the first time, she discovered what a wise choice she made by standing decisively on the eldest lady's side.
