The pond was not very deep for adults. After being thrown in, Li Hongying fluttered a few times and finally managed to hold on to the waterside pavilion beside the pond to stand firm. She kept choking and coughing, and her whole body was wet, and her face was wet.
Her makeup was all smudged and colorful, and she looked particularly embarrassed.
The group of people following behind felt the edge of the pond at this time. Lu Yuzhou felt that it was not enough, so he kicked her in the chest again and kicked the person into the water again.
Lu Yuchang limped over and said, "Brother!"
He shouted, but it was already too late. Li Hongying was kicked into the water again and flopped for a while.
Because Lu Yuzhou's face was so ugly by the pond, the woman who knew how to swim by the pond didn't move. No one said anything, so she didn't plan to go to save people.
"Don't you want to stay?" Lu Yuzhou sneered, "Then stay for two more days." He motioned to the woman next to him, "She is not allowed to come up."
Lu Yuchang's expression changed greatly, "Brother, there must be a misunderstanding. Someone must be framing her. Hongying would not do such a thing."
"Fart!" Lu Yuzhou said unceremoniously. He was particularly irritable today. "Before you came back, nothing happened."
After saying this, he glared at Wu Ruyan fiercely.
Wu Ruyan had already turned pale with fright. When she saw him like this, she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Hongying, who was holding the waterside pavilion steady in the pond, "If it was Jiu'er who fell today, would an apology be useful?"
Wu Ruyan's tears fell instantly, "I didn't mean it. I didn't know she would harm Jiu'er. The person you found didn't protect Jiu'er for a long time. How can you blame me?"
"If we hadn't protected him well, Jiu'er would have fallen into the water by now." Lu Yuzhou's voice was cold, no longer as gentle as in the morning. "Go back, there is something wrong in my front yard."
Wu Ruyan was startled, "Didn't you say you would stay with me in the hospital today?"
Lu Yuzhou didn't look at her, but looked at Jiu'er in Chu Yunli's arms, stretched out his hand to touch it, "Don't be afraid Jiu'er, go back and have a nap, nothing will happen. Daddy will come over to accompany you in a while."
Jiu'er hummed, and Lu Yuzhou strode away.
A circle of people gathered around the pond, but no one dared to mention the matter of Li Hongying coming up. Even Lu Yuchang looked at it with a frosty face.
It was late autumn. Li Hongying was shivering from the cold and couldn't help crying, "I really didn't do anything, you wronged me... Yuchang, you believe me..."
Lu Yuchang sat on the ground and held his head, not looking at her.
Chu Yunli turned around with her child in her arms and heard the woman's voice behind her, "I have something to tell you."
"What are your orders, madam?" Chu Yunli no longer had a good impression of her at the beginning, but after just two meetings, it was already clear that she was a very self-centered woman.
To put it bluntly, it is willfulness.
Wu Ruyan looked bad and asked, "Where did you meet that girl just now?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Madam, you suspect that I am a thief and you want to catch the thief?"
"The master believes you. He has no doubts about you at all. But in my opinion, there are flaws in everything today." Wu Ruyan said with a serious face, "First of all, tell me, where did you meet that girl?"
Lu Yuzhou was willing to believe her without the slightest doubt, because she saved the father and son. If Chu Yunli and the others had any bad intentions and did not save them, the father and son would have become two ghosts long ago.
But to people who don't know the inside story, it seems that Lu Yuzhou trusts her too much. She takes care of all his son's personal matters, and has no doubts about her words. And under normal circumstances, people who are nannies usually have some clues.
The boss is pinching. For example, for her daughter, Lu Yuzhou should find someone to take care of her daughter. If something happens to Jiuer, her daughter will not die well. Only in this way can she be truly trusted.
But the fact is that Lu Yuzhou found a wet nurse to help her take care of her daughter, but she did it under her own nose. How can this be used? Is this preferential treatment?
Chu Yunli pointed to the path beside the pond, "That's where she rushed out."
Wu Ruyan looked suspicious, "You said it was coming very fast, so how could you stop it?"
"The fact is that I stopped him." Chu Yunli didn't want to explain to her, and she didn't believe it no matter what he said. It seemed that they couldn't live in harmony.
She hugged Jiu'er tightly and said, "Sorry, the master asked me to send the young master back to rest early. If he comes back and finds that we haven't gone back yet, he will be angry."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Wu Ruyan was so angry that she stamped her feet behind her.
Lu Yuchang asked people to go down and pull Li Hongying up, but no one dared. He stretched out his hand to pull Li Hongying up, but was also stopped.
In the end, it was only after the Li family came to talk to Lu Yuzhou that they rescued her. Most of a day had passed since Li Hongying entered the water. She had already fainted from the cold when she was fished out.
Lu Yuchang and his wife left, but the atmosphere in the mansion was extremely stiff. Originally, as Jiu'er's son, as long as Lu Yuzhou remarried, he should go to pay his respects every day. But after that day, Lu Yuzhou specially asked someone to come over and say,
Reading for a long time is harmful to the body. Sleep more in the morning. There is no need to say hello every day. Just go once a month.
The two of them didn't go, but Wu Ruyan came to this courtyard by herself, saying that she was cultivating a relationship with her son.
Of course, Chu Yunli would not let her and Jiu'er be alone. She stood guard and watched the two of them with a keen eye.
"I won't do anything to children." Wu Ruyan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yunli knelt down and said, "Madam, you are too worried. I am just serving the young master."
"I found that you are quite capable." Wu Ruyan said in a meaningful tone, "I just got married, and you just did this for me, and I haven't come back to the room for the past few days. Are you satisfied?"
Chu Yunli was speechless. Seeing her staring at him persistently, she said, "The young lady is just following the master's orders and taking good care of the young master."
Wu Ruyan nodded, "I know that you put a lot of thought into taking care of Jiu'er. But the master is the master, so you better stop worrying about things you shouldn't have. A slave with a big heart will usually not end well."
These words were quite profound, so Chu Yunli refused to listen to her criticism and only said, "If you have anything to say, Madam, just say it."
"Let's put it this way." Wu Ruyan stretched out her hand to caress her belly, "When I get pregnant and you get pregnant too, you will be the wet nurse for my child."
Chu Yunli has already divorced, so how can she still have children? This is a bit overwhelming.
"I'm sorry." Chu Yunli looked serious, "I will never marry again or have children in this life."
Wu Ruyan didn't believe it, "A lifetime is so long, how do you know?"
Just at this moment, Lu Yuzhou strode in, "Ruyan, I seem to have told you on the night of the wedding that I am an easy person to get along with, but there are some things that I cannot tolerate, such as interfering in my business, and treating my children.
Take action, and make things difficult for Nurse Zhang."
Wu Ruyan looked pale, "I didn't make things difficult for her, I just wanted to talk to her. Besides, she is just a servant."
Lu Yuzhou was a little impatient, "She is not an ordinary servant. If you still can't figure it out clearly, or you can't understand that I respect her, I will send you back to the Wu family."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Ruyan's words of defense were choked in her throat, and her face turned pale, "Is she so important?"
"It's so important." Lu Yuzhou looked serious, "If you want to be the mistress of the Lu family, you should leave Jiuyuan's affairs alone. Instead, use your energy to deal with people outside."
After a long while, Wu Ruyan lowered her head slightly and said, "I understand."
After the couple left, Chu Yunli sighed in her heart. Lu Yuzhou treated her really special, but this specialness was earned by her saving the lives of their father and son, not because of any charming thoughts.
But when a woman sees her husband treating another woman so favorably, she will inevitably think too much about it. She really has never thought about being Lu Yuzhou's woman.
After that day, the mansion calmed down and Wu Ruyan began to receive female guests and no longer came to Jiu'er. However, every time Jiu'er went to the main courtyard to greet her, if Lu Yuzhou was not there, she would act as if she couldn't see her and ignore her.
Winter has arrived in a blink of an eye, and Jicheng has been quite lively recently, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon. On this day, Nanny Li came in from outside and whispered, "It seems that someone is coming to your house at the side door again."
For the past two months, the Zhang family and his wife have been coming here every month with one purpose: to ask for money.
Chu Yunli stopped seeing them a long time ago. It was always Zhang Dongniang who went there, but since Zhang Dongniang said she would never see them again, no one could see them again when they came back.
Not long after, Zhang Dongniang hurriedly came in with a handkerchief, "Sister, it's not good, something happened to my parents."
"What's wrong?" Chu Yunli looked at the handkerchief she handed to her. It was made of fine cloth and turned white after washing. Even if Zhang Dongniang was just an ordinary little girl, she would not use such a handkerchief.
"This is my mother's. There was a woman at the back door who brought it to me just now." Zhang Dongniang looked anxious and said, "My parents are in their hands and I have to go and see them in person."
Chu Yunli took the handkerchief and asked, "Didn't you catch her?"
Zhang Dongniang was very anxious, "She didn't know anything, she just told her. By the time I reacted, the person had already run away. Sister, they said they were at Wangshan Restaurant, let's go take a look?"
Coming to her directly means that the Zhang family and his wife were implicated by her, which means that the people who arrested them actually wanted to cause trouble for themselves. After finally showing up, they had to be dealt with anyway. Chu Yunli stood up and said, "Look
Look."
The two took a carriage to Wangshan Restaurant. This restaurant was not big and was considered very common in Ji City. After the two entered the door, the waiter at the door glanced at a window in the private room on the second floor, and then stepped forward.
"You two girls, please follow me."
Zhang Dongniang was a little scared and clutched the hem of Chu Yunli's clothes tightly. The two of them went upstairs. After entering the house, the waiter closed the door from the outside.
As expected, there was an acquaintance in the room, Chen Xiaofu.
Chen Xiaofu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not easy to see you."
"Where are my parents?" Zhang Dongniang asked directly.
Chen Xiaofu pointed, "They are next door."
Zhang Dongniang was dubious, turned around and went out to go to the next door. As soon as the door opened, she saw the Zhang family and his wife standing at the door. Then they pushed their little daughter, followed her in and closed the door.
This is not an accident between the Zhang family and his wife. They clearly asked Chen Xiaofu to take care of their daughter. Chu Yunli laughed angrily. She was angry, and Zhang's father was even angrier. He cursed, "Everyone has gone out of business and disappeared."
People, I am more filial than you when it comes to raising dogs." He looked at Chen Xiaofu again, "You can ask."
Chen Xiaofu stepped forward and asked, "Where are my father and my eldest brother?"
How long has this been going on, and now I am asking, Chu Yunli shook his head, "I don't know."
A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, "They came to find you and then disappeared. Who knows if you don't know?"
The dagger got closer and closer, and it was about to reach her neck. Chu Yunli reached out and pinched his wrist, and squeezed hard. Chen Xiaofu screamed, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "clang".
This was the first time that the three Zhang family members saw their daughter (sister) taking action. They were so frightened that they took a few steps back. Chu Yunli bent down and picked up the dagger, looked at them and asked, "You want to find them too? Do you want me to send it to you?"
Going to meet?"
In fact, Chen Xiaofu had not been looking for his father and eldest brother for a day or two, and it was more likely that they were dead. When he heard this, he thought it was Chu Yunli who wanted to kill them.
Father Zhang no longer had a fierce look, "No, I'm just asking for the sake of my relatives."
Zhang's mother agreed with this. Seeing the dagger getting closer and closer, she stepped back, but found that there was no way to retreat. Her voice trembled and she said, "It's true. The family is busy celebrating the New Year recently, and he forced us to do so."
Chen Xiaofu was filled with hatred, "It's obvious that you came to me and wanted me to help you get money from their sisters..."
Since each other was passing the blame, Chu Yunli put away the dagger and said, "You are all relatives, so you should come home with me."
After all, we are a family and we need to stay together.
