Chapter 33 Borrowing a Donkey and Mounting a Horse
Liu Yun glanced at Mrs. Lin awkwardly before speaking slowly, "Today, my granddaughter and Yuchen went to the street and passed by Ruyifang. They saw a very pitiful young man who was waiting to be pawned as a jade pendant to save his life. Granddaughter thought that the jade pendant was at least worth it.
It was a few hundred taels, but the boss was only willing to die for a hundred taels. The young man knelt down and begged, but the boss was so hard-hearted that my granddaughter bought the jade pendant even though she couldn't bear to see it."
"Ruyifang?" Mu Qingyang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mrs. Lin without leaving any trace. Seeing that her face turned pale, she continued to ask, "What jade pendant?"
Liu Yun stepped forward and took out the jade pendant. Mu Qingyang took it and took a closer look, then narrowed his eyes and said, "This jade pendant is only worth a few hundred taels. Even if it is a thousand taels, it can be sold."
"You girl do have some eyesight, but what next?" Mrs. Mu also took the jade pendant and looked at it, then asked, "How did you get into trouble and get hurt?"
"Later, my granddaughter and Yuchen left, but when they walked into a remote alley, several thugs appeared. Yuchen was injured to protect his granddaughter." Liu Yun said it very simply, but she believed that in the future
People like her father and grandmother would naturally have heard something fishy.
Mrs. Mu looked at Yuchen distressedly, "Are there any other injuries? Grandma knows that you have learned some boxing and kicking skills, but your father hired martial arts masters for you and Hongjing just to keep you in shape, not to really let you
Went to fight."
"Yes, my grandson is overestimating his own abilities." Yu Chen nodded and responded.
"Then how did you escape from danger?" Mu Qingyang looked at Liuyun intently. He had asked the housekeeper earlier. The housekeeper said that the eldest lady took several skilled nurses with her when she left. These nurses
He carefully selected all the people in the hospital from outside. If Liu Yun took them out, how could Yu Chen get hurt?
"Later..." Liu Yun paused, glanced at Mrs. Lin again, and then said, "Later, the nursing staff from the mansion arrived in time and drove away those thugs."
Panic flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes, but she was a person who was good at acting after all, and she hid her panic very well. Instead, she pulled Liu Yun worriedly, looked at her from top to bottom for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately,
You're fine, I scared my aunt to death."
"Haha, when did the eldest sister learn that the road is rough and draw a sword to help?" Siya smiled eccentrically, her big eyes darting back and forth between Liu Yun and Lin.
"Wait a minute, is this Ruyifang the same shop that Mengxian left for Liuyun and her brother and sister?" Mrs. Mu suddenly became serious. If she remembered correctly, there were several shops where Mengxian's dowry was sold at that time.
But she herself was not good at managing money, so she temporarily gave these shops to Mu Qingyang to manage on her behalf. Later, because Mu's business was too busy, he found managers for several of her shops.
"Yes, that Ma Zheng was the steward of our bank before." Mu Qingyang nodded. After Mengxian passed away, those shops were under the supervision of Lin, but he still knew some things about the shops.
"I know a little bit about Ma Zheng. He is shrewd, but he is greedy for small profits and small favors, and has short eyesight. Why did he transfer such a person to Ruyifang?" Mrs. Mu has always had a bad impression of this Ma Zheng. She always feels that
Such a profit-seeking person should not continue to stay in the Mu family's bank.
Seeing Madam Mu asking, Mu Qingyang glanced at Mrs. Lin again before replying, "Although this person is a little greedy for money, it is suitable for such a person to be placed in a pawn shop."
Mrs. Mu did not let her son glance at Mrs. Lin, and she already had some understanding in her heart. It seemed that this matter was related to Mrs. Lin. She wanted to ask clearly, but she still had to give her some privacy in front of the children.
To save face, he remained silent.
"No matter what, his people hurt my grandson. You deal with this matter and don't let me see him in Linyang City in the future." Just saying this to express your position can be regarded as a blessing to your grandsons.
After explaining, she could see that Liu Chenshang was a little confused. After all, the two children were still young and could not understand the thoughts of adults.
"Yes, my son knows." Mu Qingyang nodded.
Liu Yun seemed to have suddenly reacted, and looked at Mrs. Mu with a pair of bright eyes, "Grandma, what do you mean, Ruyifang was left behind by my mother?"
"Yes, a few days ago, grandma said she would let Chen'er manage these shops first and learn how to do business. Do you think grandma is a person who breaks her word?" Mrs. Mu naturally lived to this age.
She is also a sensible person. Although it is strange that Yuchen was hurt by someone from Ruyifang today, she will not believe that these two children dare to play tricks in front of her, let alone such a cruel trick.
"Grandma is naturally a person who keeps her word." Liu Yun said quickly, and then stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "But my granddaughter and Yu Chen forgot about this matter."
Mrs. Mu had long forgotten her anger just now, and now she just feels distressed when she looks at Liu Yun's charming smile. It's really true that such a delicate little girl has lost her mother so early, and can still maintain such simplicity and innocence.
It's not easy anymore.
"By the way, my grandson has one more thing to say." Yuchen seemed a little hesitant, frowning and looking at Mrs. Mu.
"Tell me." Mrs. Mu originally liked this fair and clean grandson, but now that she was injured, she naturally held him in her hands and doted on him.
"Today, those nursing homes neglected their duties and didn't follow us when we came out of Ruyifang. As a result, my grandson and eldest sister almost couldn't come back. This grandson feels that we should be punished severely." Yu Chen pursed his lips.
, seeing Mrs. Mu nodding her head, she said again, "Fortunately, my grandson and the eldest sister went out together today. If only the eldest sister was a weak woman with no power to tie a chicken, or other sisters went out, all the nursing homes would be like this.
So perfunctory, then..."
He did not continue speaking, and the wise point was over. What Mrs. Mu was thinking about was something deeper. Nowadays, several girls in the Mu family are about to have haircuts. If they encounter any danger when they go out, they will be like those thugs they encountered today.
, If Yuchen hadn't been there, if the nurse hadn't arrived later, no one knows what kind of torture such a delicate little girl would have been in.
Mu Mansion is determined not to be embarrassed like this.
"So, my grandson is thinking about asking dad to find some hard-working nursing homes for the eldest sister. Otherwise, if something like this happens again..." Yu Chen suddenly clenched his fists, his face looked very ugly, as if
It seemed like I was recalling the scene on the street today.
"Grandma, you can't be partial. If you are protecting the eldest sister's home, then Ya'er must also protect the home." Siya tilted her head and agreed.
Mu Qingyang had never thought about this before, but now it seems that it is a good idea. He does business everywhere, and he has indeed seen many ladies from all over the world accompanied by maids and nurses when they go out. Mu Mansion can also follow suit.
.
"That's okay. I see that the ladies from well-known families in Beijing always bring some guardians with them when they go out. As long as they follow them from a distance and don't spoil the ladies' maiden names, that's it.
." In Mrs. Mu's heart, the safety of these children is more important.
Seeing what the old lady said, Mu Qingyang could only agree, "Yes, my son will send someone to handle this matter."
