Chapter 38 Miscalculation
"Don't be afraid of Xueying. With her mother here, that little girl will never get the housekeeper's key in her life!" An's eyes were cruel and patted her daughter's back gently, and she had plans in her mind.
In the afternoon, she bought bacon and hare from hunters on the excuse of buying a bacon and letting everyone have a meal together to celebrate the future of the willow cherry blossoms.
Everyone did not doubt it and sat in the front hall one after another.
Liu Luoying walked over and An immediately posted it affectionately: "Oh, the great hero of our Liu family has finally come, sit down."
"Mrs. Ying'er is a junior, so it's better to do it yourself."
Seeing that An wanted to move a chair for him, Liu Luoying refused immediately and did it herself.
She never had any good feelings for this woman.
God knows, what are the other party’s ideas about this Hongmen Banquet tonight.
"Ying'er, don't be polite. You are a meritorious person whom Your Majesty will personally reward you in the future. It is common sense for the third aunt to serve you."
Liu Luoying felt cold in her heart. She did not accept the following words, but sat next to Liu Chengan with a stool.
The father and daughter looked at each other and said nothing, but they were warm and harmonious.
Seeing that the two of them became more and more intimate, An was even more worried that the housekeeper would be snatched away by Liu Luoying in the future. She tightened her fists and pretended to be kind enough to greet everyone.
In this special period, food is the most in short supply. Whether it is fruits and vegetables, or meat, every family calculates consumption based on their fingers.
But today, An, who has always regarded himself as thrift, has set up a table of delicious food for the first time, which has caused the eyes of several people who have not seen meat for a long time to see the meat.
Of course, there is no exception for the willow cherry blossoms that often have small cooking in private.
In the quarantine area, she could eat delicious dishes made by Luo Ting every day. She didn't react much to these foods, but lowered her head and said something to Liu Chengan.
"Ying'er, I'm very angry when my father saw His Highness Yan leaving today. Why don't you go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow? Just think it's just to relax."
"Father, if Your Highness King Yan is anxious about such a small matter, it would be too petty. Ying'er thought that Your Highness should have urgent matters to do, and his father doesn't have to worry."
"You girl, I really don't know if you should say you are smart or stupid. If you don't like King Yan, it's better to find an opportunity to explain it clearly to him. Otherwise, if you keep hiding like this, you will be entangled."
Liu Chengan woke up the dreamer with a word, and Liu Luoying nodded thoughtfully. Although she was reluctant, in order to be able to be safe and smooth in this life, she had to find an opportunity to explain it clearly to Lin Peiyan.
"Father, Ying'er understands."
"Well, just be sure you understand. The Liu family already has a marquis, so there is no need to have another princess. Your marriage will be carefully considered by your father and will never let you suffer any grievance."
Liu Chengan gently patted the back of his daughter's hand, feeling guilty and secretly swore that he would make up for his younger daughter in the future.
But after thinking for a while, he suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Ying'er, don't get close to Luo Ting, that's a person with unknown identity and a bone-bone-reversed person, and is definitely not a good match."
Liu Luoying was stunned, her cheeks became hot involuntarily, and she said angrily: "Father, what are you saying? My daughter and her second cousin are just brother-sister relationships, and there is nothing else."
"There is no best. Remember my father's words and stay away from Luo Ting."
"Oh, brother, what did you say to Ying'er? I've called you several times, didn't you hear it?"
The conversation between the father and daughter was interrupted by An's harsh and artificial voice. Then she looked up at the table and found that everyone was waiting for them to move their chopsticks.
"Ahem, they are all my family, they are all casual."
Liu Chengan picked up the chopsticks and finally started the meal. Everyone could no longer bear it, and they picked up the meat and feasted.
During this period, An wanted to raise the topic several times, but because everyone was eating seriously, they didn't notice it.
Later, she finally had the opportunity to speak, but Liu Luoying stood up first, covered her stomach, her facial features were tight and wrinkled, and she said in pain: "I'm really sorry, Ying'er had a stomach disease and took her off first."
"Do you need to find a doctor?"
"Thank you, father, Ying'er is old. If you have a problem, your stomach will hurt when you eat more."
"You, go back and rest."
Liu Chengan watched his daughter leave worriedly, and then no longer had appetite. He didn't take a few bites and returned to the house.
In order to promote this banquet, An even took out his private money, but he did not expect that he would still have a plan to die.
She was furious and when she returned to the yard, she fell into trouble like crazy and lost her temper.
Seeing her like this, Liu Chenguang was afraid of harming him, so he took her pillow and bedding and went to the guest room to sleep.
The initiator of all this, Liu Luoying, was now leaning comfortably on the rattan chair, reading a book and eating cherry fried, and she didn't look like a person in bad health.
"Miss, as you told me, all the ten boxes of things sent by King Yan were cashed out."
Bao Xia took out a thick silver note and land deed from her arms, her eyes full of joy. She was the happiest to see the lady being able to think so carefully and handle things carefully, and not fall into the trap of the three-bedroom house.
Over the past decade, the wife’s instructions before her death have echoed in her mind every day.
In the past, as long as Liu Luoying walked out of the small courtyard of three-point land, she would be worried and afraid that the lady would be plotted against.
But today, she is no longer afraid because her lady has grown up and is enough to stand alone in the face of those villains with ulterior motives.
Liu Luoying saw Hu Xia’s thoughts, smiled and pulled her to her side, hugging her intimately, "Hu Xia, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Miss, I..." Hu Xia Geng swallowed, tears rolling down.
At this moment, the two were not masters and servants, but a pair of sisters.
The scene of Hu Xia dying for her in her previous life is still vivid in my mind. Liu Luoying's heart is like a mirror, and she secretly vows not to let her be in danger again.
"Hao Xia, these silver and land deeds are your future dowry. You must keep your eyes open and find a good husband."
"Miss, what kind of dowry, Hu Xia will follow you all your life and will never get married."
"What are you talking about by hugging Xia stupidly? Besides, if you get married closer, you can follow me."
Liu Luoying smiled and put the silver notes and land deeds into the wooden box, then gave Bao Xia a handful of keys, and said mysteriously: "Remember, if someone asks where those rewards have gone, you will say I have been squandered."
"Yes, Miss."
"Hmph, I want to plot on my Miss's stuff, dream!"
Liu Luoying had long guessed that the Hongmen Banquet tonight was that An's purpose was to leave these rewards, so how could she get the woman as she wished?
So, when she went back to the house to count the number, she asked the three maids to take it out in batches, either cashing in, or buying fields and farms. She couldn't finish the remaining silk clothes, so she divided them with Bao Xia and the others.
