"Are we leaving like this?" Yu Chen finally couldn't help but glance back and frowned strangely. Based on his guess, how could the people in Ruyifang give up so easily, but there was no one following them?
, which made him unable to understand.
"I've had someone check it out and found out that Boss Ma is a good gambler and has lost all his fortune. The reason why he can still be the steward of Ruyifang safely is because of his shrewdness. In addition to the dividends in his account books every year,
, and also gave Aunt Lin a lot of extra dividends. Aunt Lin didn't know much, so she was kept in the dark." Liuyun stuffed the jade pendant into his sleeves, tilted his head and said to Yuchen, "The four shops that mother left us,
This pawn shop is the most profitable and the most lucrative. There have been several managers in the past few years, but only Boss Ma has been here for four years. I think it's because he knows how to honor Aunt Lin."
Liuyun had written a letter for the late Qing Dynasty to send out earlier. She had four more years than others and had a little more foresight about the future. Naturally, she could take precautions accordingly. She remembered clearly that at that time she wanted to
When she returned to the shop left by her mother, Ms. Lin held it in her hands and refused to let go. Boss Ma was the first to make things difficult for her. Later, she found it troublesome and gave up the idea of taking the shop back.
"What do you mean, sister?" Yu Chen actually doesn't quite understand why Liu Yun is so keen on these shops. In his opinion, although these shops are profitable, they are nothing compared to Mu Mansion's industry. Liu Yun has never liked them.
He was involved in business matters, but this time it was unusual. Yuchen was always a little confused in his heart.
"Yuchen, it was my sister who was ignorant in the past. This time she fell into the lake and made her understand a lot of things. Although we were legitimate children in the Mu Mansion, my mother has passed away, and my father's failure to renew the marriage has hindered the relationship between the Ji family, but my grandmother
As we age, there will always be a day when we pass away. When the time comes, my father will always help Aunt Lin to stand upright. Once Auntie Lin stands upright, life will be difficult for us siblings. She has never been an economical person, so she will not tolerate it.
Let us divide the property of Mu Mansion, so we must plan for ourselves." Liu Yun looked at Yu Chen seriously. The only person she really trusts now is her younger brother. She and her brother were very estranged in the past because of Shen Yi, but now she just
After understanding Yuchen's scruples, she naturally also understood that he was truly good to her.
"When did sister find out about Aunt Lin..." Yu Chen frowned and stared at Liu Yun closely. Although he was younger than Liu Yun, he saw and understood more than Liu Yun, but he was very happy.
His sister grew up in such a wealthy and wealthy family and still maintained an innocent heart, so he was willing to choose silence in order to protect his sister's innocence. As long as Lin didn't go too far, he was still willing to tolerate her for her sister's sake.
"You really know." Liuyun frowned. She was just testing Yuchen. Thinking that Yuchen often looked at her with complicated and deep eyes in the past, it always made her more wary, but she felt that Yuchen wanted to
He said too much, and even said that he didn't have the bearing of a man. Now that he thinks about it, he is really a willful guy.
Yu Chen nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly took a step forward and pulled Liu Yun behind him, looking behind him warily.
It turned out that they had unknowingly arrived at Xiasu Street in the north of the city, which was a bit far from the downtown entrance. There were high walls of houses on both sides, and the long street looked very depressed.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yun lowered his voice and looked around cautiously. Sure enough, he saw several thugs walking toward them with sticks in their hands. The two of them immediately turned around subconsciously, only to find that several people were walking over from the other end.
"Where is the person you arranged?" Yu Chen moved his lips, and a flash of surprise flashed in Liu Yun's eyes, as if he didn't expect Yu Chen to know about it. He seemed to see the surprise in Liu Yun's eyes, and smiled slightly, "We
When I was going out, I noticed someone was following me."
Liu Yun raised his eyebrows. She didn't know martial arts, but she also knew that people with strong martial arts would be particularly sensitive to everything around them. She didn't expect that Yuchen, who was only fourteen years old, could reach such a level of martial arts. It seemed that she really ignored it.
This younger brother has been around for a long time and he doesn’t even know these things about him.
"Now is not the time to be dazed." Yuchen silently calculated his chances of winning in his heart. In fact, he started practicing martial arts at the age of twelve, and it has only been two years now. He was able to detect someone following him only because he had learned some special skills.
With his breathing skills, he might not be able to win if he were to be beaten with real swords and guns, let alone with such seven or eight thugs. He said softly to Liu Yun, "I will take you out in a while, don't look back and run forward."
, I will catch up with you."
Hearing such words, Liu Yun's heart tightened, and her extremely cold heart cracked slightly. Her brother still protected her as before and protected her with his life.
"They should be arriving soon." In fact, Liu Yun didn't know for sure. Logically speaking, those people were following them and should have shown up when they saw them in danger. But now they didn't show up. She felt a little cold in her heart, but
At this time, she must give herself confidence. She believes that the nursing staff of Mu Mansion will come to save them and will never leave them alone.
However, the visitor obviously had no patience and rushed forward without saying a word. Yuchen gritted his teeth, pushed Liuyun into the corner and rushed forward.
This was Liu Yun's first time seeing Yu Chen in action. He didn't expect that his usually delicate and frail younger brother could be so skilled. Although he was much smaller than those thugs, his martial arts skills were no less impressive.
However, Yuchen was still young and outnumbered, so he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Yuchen, be careful." Liu Yun wanted to go up and help, but she just stood aside with restraint. She knew that she couldn't be a burden to him at this time, or rather, she was his burden now.
She regretted it so much that she shouldn't have acted impulsively. She had long heard that Boss Ma of Ruyifang had a very bad style. Although he had a very good reputation on the surface, he actually did a lot of dirty things secretly. She originally thought that he should
She used some method to lure the snake out of the hole, but she didn't expect to meet the boy who predicted the jade. Relying on the fact that she had arranged for the nursing home to protect him secretly, she used a trick to snatch the jade. She guessed that Boss Ma would never give in and would definitely send someone.
She came to rob him, but she didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Those secret nurses did not show up, but her brother was injured because of protecting her.
Those people heard her exclamation and immediately separated into two people and attacked her. She was so frightened that she picked up the stick on her side and hit her randomly. Her face was as pale as paper and her hands were shaking constantly. She was really scared.
The way those people rushed toward her really frightened her. She could only stare blankly at the long sticks that were coming towards her. Only Yuchen's scream of pain could be heard in her ears, but she felt that she couldn't even move.
It was so difficult that he even bit his lip and closed his eyes slightly, preparing to bear the blow.
The next moment, her limp body fell into a warm embrace. There was only a faint smell of mint on the tip of her nose, mixed with a bit of medicinal fragrance. All she could see was the white shirt inlaid with gold threads, and she could even hear the steady heartbeat of the man.
, I felt a sense of peace of mind for no reason.
"Sister." Yu Chen shouted, and struck the person who came with a palm. The person fell down, and he flew towards Liuyun, nervously calling his sister who looked ugly and seemed to have lost her breath.
The white figure immediately took out the hand that was wrapped around Liuyun's waist. Yuchen almost subconsciously caught Liuyun and nervously called her name.
"Yu...Yuchen..." Liuyun finally found his voice, and suddenly realized that his back was soaked. He took a few deep breaths to catch his breath, and said weakly, "I'm fine, I'm fine...
…”
At this time, the two realized belatedly that the person who had just attacked them had been knocked to the ground by a man in black. No one could get up. Liu Yun quickly looked towards the person who saved them. Where was he?
What else could she see? She only saw a dark carriage leaving. She didn't even see the other person's face.
"Do you know who saved us?" Liu Yun frowned. The dark carriage was very common and could be seen everywhere. She suddenly clenched her fists. There seemed to be that person's mint scent in her nose. She suddenly wanted to
Do you know who the man in white is?
"Master, Miss..." Several nursing staff came late, staring at them and the thugs who fell on the ground with wide eyes, full of disbelief.
Liuyun looked at the guards and noticed their evasive glances. He suddenly understood something, lowered his head and smiled coldly. It seemed that she had underestimated the power of the Lin family, and even forgot that those guards were from the Mu Mansion after all.
, it seems that she really needs to let the servants of Mu Mansion know who is the master and who is the slave.
"Sister, are you okay?" Yuchen helped Liuyun up and carefully looked at her from top to bottom several times. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
"I'm fine, but you're injured." Looking at Yuchen's bleeding arm with distress, she turned her head and said to the nurse on the side, "Send these thugs back to Ruyifang and tell them that Boss Ma has offended him.
Who. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after I get back home.”
"Yes." A uniform reply.
Liuyun supported Yuchen and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "You'd better think clearly about how to explain what happened today." After that, he supported Yuchen and walked towards the medical center.
The nursing staff all turned their attention to the man in green who was leading them. He pursed his lips, looked at Liu Yun's leaving figure, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Just do what the eldest lady told you, and other things.
, Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
