Duke Rong Liu Cheng was ill. He was so ill that he couldn't even get out of bed.
A few days later, while on the sick bed, he invited several clan elders to the Duke's mansion. In front of the clan elders, he handed over the control of the family to his eldest son Liu Rufeng.
The elders of the clan were not polite when speaking, and Liu Cheng had almost driven him crazy over the years.
Unfortunately, he is the Duke of the country, so he has to hold back his dissatisfaction, but this time the clan elders can take a breath.
"I should have handed over the family to Rufeng a long time ago. Let a concubine take charge of the family for so many years. You have really made the Liu family proud. The ancestors are almost ready to lift the coffin. You still treat such a thing like a treasure!"
Liu Cheng could only smile bitterly a few times.
"Rufeng, you can manage this family how you want to. Your wife is the mistress of the family. Anyone who doesn't obey will be sold!"
"Yes, let Ruyue and An'an clean up the yard. Our aunt from the Liu family has to take her back to the Liu family. If she doesn't like it, she has to hold it in!"
The speakers were the third uncle and fifth uncle of the Liu clan.
After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Liu Rujiang who was standing aside. Liu Rujiang kept his head down, not daring to look up at the crowd.
Mrs. Xu was not helpless, and she cleaned up the servants in the mansion again within a few days.
The courtyard where the Qi family lived was renovated.
Something happened to Liu Rujiang's two capable servants the next day, and they were beaten to death in the gambling shop.
Duke Rong Guo knew that the eldest son would not care about the second son's affairs, so he arranged two more young boys. However, he did not know that these two young boys were actually Liu Rufeng's people.
Within a few days, Liu Rufeng had everything in Duke Rong's palace in his hands.
Only then did Liu Cheng understand that the eldest son was just too lazy to take care of Da Qi's mother and son, and was even more alienated from him. He didn't care about everything in the Liu Mansion, otherwise the eldest son would have driven Da Qi's mother and son out of the Liu Mansion long ago.
As for the title of Duke Rongguo, the eldest son didn't even pay attention to it.
He expected that the Holy Emperor would not give the title to Liu Rujiang. With the Holy Emperor's respect and cultivation for him, the position of chief minister in the future would definitely be his.
His eldest son is just looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely break away from the Liu family. By then, Liu Mansion will be reduced to an ordinary mansion.
With the temperaments of Da Qi's mother and son, it would be a waste to burn incense if they didn't want to eat in the future. That would be the beginning of the eldest son's revenge.
At this moment, Duke Rong Guo was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
"Dad, it's not good, Daddy!"
Liu Rujiang ran in anxiously.
Liu Cheng shouted angrily, "I'm fine! I'm not dead yet!"
"No dad, you have to save your son!"
Liu Rujiang almost cried.
"Say, what's wrong? What trouble did you get into again?"
Liu Cheng slapped the bed board hard. With such a bastard, he would lose ten years of his life.
"Dad, Lord Chu, Lord Chu Heng is actually Liu An'an's sworn brother! Dad, I'm done, Liu An'an has to kill me!"
"what happened?"
Liu Cheng felt like he was going to vomit blood.
"Dad, that Liu An'an calls Chu Heng eldest brother. When I inquired about it, I found out that Chu Heng's father adopted Liu An'an as his adopted daughter. I mean, after I entered the Ministry of Punishments, Mr. Chu sneered when he saw me. Dad, I’m having a hard time, what should I do?”
Liu Rujiang was really scared.
To be honest, he is just a child who has been pampered since childhood. Apart from eating and drinking, he also fights fiercely.
Even though he was usually quite majestic, his mother's reputation was gone, his status was still so low, his sister was still a concubine in the Rong Mansion, and the few friends he used to play with were already eight feet away from him.
Now that Liu Rufeng is in charge, his previous virtues will have to be peeled off even if he doesn't die.
Liu Cheng also didn't expect that his granddaughter could have such great fortune.
"You should be responsible for your job, do things well, and don't be so public as before. Chu Heng will not deliberately embarrass you."
Liu Rujiang cried for a long time, but couldn't get anything out of Liu Cheng, so he returned to his yard dejectedly.
In just five days, news came from Jingzhao Mansion that the cases of Qi's mother and daughter were completed.
Not surprisingly, the evidence of the murder case of the Qi family and their daughter was conclusive. The Qi family and Qi Meng were interrogated three days later, while Nai Niang Xu and Dr. Liu were both sentenced to exile.
Rong Guogong Liu Cheng also wrote a letter to give the title to his eldest son Liu Rufeng, and the emperor immediately approved it.
Liu Rufeng became the new Duke of Rong!
Everything is settled.
After the Qi family's death, Liu An'an really threw the bodies of the Qi family's mother and daughter into the mountains outside the city.
Some people say she is cruel, while others agree that ten years of life without dignity cannot be offset by one or two sentences.
Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Liu Cheng didn't say anything when he found out, and Liu Rujiang didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that Liu Anan would kill him.
The whole life of the Qi family came to an end, and not even a tomb was left behind.
Afterwards, Liu Rufeng took leave from the emperor and took his eldest son Liu Huanping to Kaoshan Village in Linxian County. He wanted to take his sister and nephew home.
At this time in the Rong family, Mr. Rong called his eldest son Rong Yu, his eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Lin, and his youngest son Rong Jue to the study.
At that time, the family was separated, Rong Jue was really kicked out of the house, and Master Rong didn't even give him a single coin.
In fact, both Rong Yu and his wife understood that their father loved Rong Lao Er the most, but the old man couldn't accept Qi Yanran's entry into the house, so he kicked him out.
After the truth is revealed, the second child will definitely come back.
Because Lao Er and his yard have been regularly cleaned and tidied by servants for so many years.
"Second brother, now that the emperor has transferred you back to Beijing to command a hundred thousand tiger and benign troops, your general's palace should be sealed. Go home!"
"An An and her mother have been greatly wronged. You have not reconciled. An An is still the daughter-in-law of my Rong family. The child named Liu Muyang is also innocent. Please take them home together."
Mrs. Lin had a very harmonious relationship with her younger brother and sister-in-law Liu Yue.
Hearing what the father-in-law said, he also said: "Second brother, Ruyue is not wrong. The fault lies with us. We fell into other people's traps. You have missed ten years. Everything has passed and it is time to reunite. No matter what Ruyue does You have to suffer the same treatment."
"Yes, second brother, everything is over, let's start again."
Rong Yu also felt sorry for this younger brother.
When he was five years old, his mother passed away. He watched his younger brother grow up, so he must have been heartbroken!
"Son, thank you dad! Thank you, brother and sister-in-law!"
Rong Jue knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father. His brother and sister-in-law kowtowed three times. Rong Yu stepped forward and pulled his brother up.
Liu An'an asked Lan Yi to send back the letter, and also asked Lan Yi to report in detail what happened here to his family.
That day, Liu Anan received a letter from Hei Yao. Her father, Rong Jue, wanted to see her. Rong Jue had come to the Duke's Mansion a few days ago, but she didn't want to see him.
Liu Anan didn't know how to face this father. If he couldn't avoid it, then he would meet him.
She did resent him, even hated him.
But after hearing Hei Yao's words and Mr. Rong's attitude at the scene, she realized that her father had not forgotten them, and that he was also an innocent victim.
After cleaning herself up, Liu Anan took Qing Yi to the teahouse.
Pushing open the door to the private room upstairs, Liu Anan saw a man standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
His body is as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle under his sword-shaped brows. He is domineering and powerful, noble and majestic, and a fierce murderous aura comes over his handsome brows.
Liu Anan closed the door calmly and came to the table as if walking in his own back garden. The old god sat on the ground and said, "I heard you were looking for me?"
The man was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled.
The beautiful peach blossom eyes were as bright as stars, and the murderous aura around him disappeared.
Liu Anan blinked, did he see it wrong just now?
Looking at the girl in front of her with her head tilted and her brows furrowed, Rong Jue's heart was filled with colorful bubbles.
"Anbao, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm sorry for you and your mother. I didn't protect you. You deserve to blame me and hate me."
"Daughter, can you give me a chance? Your Majesty asked me to stay in Beijing, and your grandfather told me to go home. We have always kept our previous courtyard. I missed you for ten years, and I don't want to miss you again."
