It wasn't until three quarters past the next day that Liu Wanshan returned to Liu Mansion. Liu Wanshan, who looked exhausted, had no time to rest and immediately ordered someone to call Liu Yunqing. Lian'er waited all night, but still didn't wait for the master to return home. At a quarter of a minute, Lian'er returned to Liu Yunqing's room and helped Liu Yunqing wash up.
"Miss, the master is in the front hall, let the lady come over." Liu Yunqing had just finished washing when the maid came to her room.
"Dad is back." When Liu Yunqing heard that Liu Wanshan had returned home, he immediately trotted to the front hall, and Lian'er quickly followed.
"Dad, you are back, has the matter been resolved?" Liu Yunqing asked immediately as soon as he entered the front hall.
"Look at what you look like. You're so reckless, but you still look like a young lady." Seeing Liu Yunqing trotting in, Liu Wanshan immediately became furious.
"Dad, it's not too late to lecture me later. Tell me first, has the matter been resolved?" Liu Yunqing couldn't wait to ask again.
"Hey, Qing'er, dad is incompetent and failed to resolve the matter. Then Mr. Xiao doesn't want any compensation and just wants you to marry him, saying that he can give you the status of an equal wife. Before the appointment is made, if you If you don't want to, leave now. Go as far as you can and never come back to Fuchang County again. "Of course Liu Wanshan knows what kind of thing Xiao Ming is, but the situation is stronger than others, so he has to bow his head. All he could do now was to let Liu Yunqing leave. He believed that as long as Liu Yunqing left, given the Liu family's financial situation, the county guard would not go too far and would just pay more.
"Master, you must not do it. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. If Qing'er leaves and the county governor blames him, we can't bear it. We can't destroy the entire Liu family just because of Qing'er. Mr. Xiao is a talented person with a good background. Gaogui, although we are just ordinary wives, we have reached a high level. If we can marry with the county governor, it will be a great good thing for our Liu family." At this moment, a man wearing silk and satin with a head full of gold The woman wearing silver jewelry walked in. Beside her, there was a woman about the same age as Liu Yunqing.
"Yes, Dad, it is my blessing that Mr. Xiao can take a fancy to my sister, and it is also the blessing of our Liu family. Didn't dad always want Yu'er to enter the officialdom? If my sister marries into the county magistrate's house, it is just a matter of words. and will have a bright future in the officialdom in the future." The woman next to the woman said aloud.
"Liu Yunfei, you are really my good sister. I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about the word blessing. I can't bear this kind of blessing. If you think this is blessing, why not marry the county governor? From now on, not only Yu'er, but I will also be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Liu Yunqing didn't have a good impression of this half-sister. This is obviously just to see her laugh and disgust her.
"If it can pave the way for Yu'er's future, Fei'er will naturally be willing. It's a pity that Fei'er is too simple and does not have the ability of my sister to win the favor of Mr. Xiao. Dad, don't worry, when my sister gets married, Fei'er will definitely do well. Be filial to your father and mother." Liu Yunfei pretended to be obedient, but she was not the one marrying the evil man anyway.
Liu Wanshan, who originally wanted to send Liu Yunqing away, changed his mind when he heard Liu Yunfei's words about Liu Yu's future. It is true that he loves Liu Yunqing, but compared with his son Liu Yu, Liu Yu is obviously more important. Money is not as important as power, this is something Liu Wanshan has understood a long time ago. Therefore, he has been trying every means to pave the way for Liu Yu and want him to enter the officialdom. Now, the best opportunity is right in front of him, and he doesn't want to miss it.
"Qing'er, you know that dad always loves you very much and obeys your words. He gives you all the delicious food and drinks first. This time, dad begs you, please help your brother. As long as you are willing If you want to marry into the county governor's house, you can ask for anything." Liu Wanshan changed his previous attitude and began to beg Liu Yunqing.
"Dad, do you know what you are talking about? You know very well what kind of person Xiao Ming is. That is a pit of fire, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. I am your daughter. You can't treat your son just because of his future. Sell your daughter." Liu Yunqing's face was full of shock and disbelief.
"Qing'er, don't talk about your father like this. Your father loves you. If you say this, your father will be so sad. If you hadn't provoked Young Master Xiao, what happened now wouldn't have happened. The Liu family's wealth and prosperity After having you for sixteen years, why not sacrifice for the family? Besides, with Master Xiao's love for you, you will definitely not be wronged. As long as you manage well, you might even be able to become the mistress of the house. "The woman advised from the side. After hearing the woman's words, Liu Wanshan's guilt towards Liu Yunqing disappeared.
"Sir, someone is coming from the Sheriff's Mansion." At this moment, a servant hurried in.
"Please come quickly, no, I will greet you personally." Liu Wanshan hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Liu Wanshan returned to the front hall with a man dressed as a butler.
"This is Miss Liu Yunqing, she is indeed beautiful and beautiful. No wonder the young master just took one look and was full of praises. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, the young master begged the master early in the morning to send someone to hire me. Due to the rush of time, the gifts It won't be delivered until tomorrow. This is the gift list. Please take a look at it, Mr. Liu." The steward of the Xiao Mansion took out a gift list and handed it to Liu Wanshan.
"I won't marry." Liu Yunqing refused immediately.
"Liu Wanshan, this is the attitude of your Liu family." Upon hearing Liu Yunqing's refusal, the housekeeper's expression immediately changed.
"Steward Xiao, please don't be angry. Our Liu family agreed to this marriage." Liu Wanshan agreed without hesitation.
"Dad..." Liu Yunqing still objected.
"Shut up. Marriage is the order of your parents. The matchmaker's words do not require your consent or objection. Lian'er, take Qing'er back to the room." Liu Wanshan interrupted Liu Yunqing and firmly agreed to the marriage.
"Yes, sir." Lian'er agreed and whispered to Liu Yunqing to leave first.
"Since Mr. Liu agrees to this marriage, our Xiao family will come to pick up the bride in three days." Butler Xiao said immediately after Liu Yunqing left.
"Three days? Butler Xiao, isn't the time too hasty?" Liu Wanshan was shocked. He didn't expect the Xiao family to be in such a hurry.
"Haha, three days is already a long time. Young Master can't wait to marry Miss Liu and return home today. Don't worry, Mr. Liu, Young Master loves Miss Liu so much that he will never wrong Miss Liu." Butler Xiao smiled with a smile on his face, but he looked wretched. a feeling of.
"In that case, let's do it in three days. Our Liu Mansion will prepare the dowry." Liu Wanshan was also afraid of long nights and many dreams. Liu Yunqing, who had been pampered since childhood, wondered if he would do something outrageous. If he gets married early, he can save worry.
After seeing off Butler Xiao, Liu Wanshan immediately ordered the steward to keep an eye on Liu Yunqing. There must be no mistake, this may affect Liu Yu's future.
