[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing watched the farce in front of him with an amused look on his face and remained silent.

Song had no intention of coming up to stop them.

Yun Hao's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang was furious and used all her strength in every kick. After a few kicks, Cui Liu vomited blood and looked in a miserable state.

But even so, Cui Liu still didn't give in, "Old Madam, please forgive me! I have been loyal to you all these years, and I have obeyed your orders in everything, and I dare not disobey you in the slightest..."

Before Cui Liu finished her words, Jiang had already shouted: "Shut up! You slut, you still dare to slander me!..."

At this moment, Yun Hao, who had been standing at the door, finally shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Cui Liu was so scared that she trembled and shut her mouth obediently.

Jiang was also startled. She turned around and looked at Yun Hao in surprise.

Yun Hao had a gloomy face and walked into the woodshed.

The firewood room was not big to begin with, and Cuiliu and Luyan were already imprisoned there. Rong Enqing was sitting in the middle, and Nanshan was standing beside him. After Jiang came in, the room seemed crowded. Now that Yunhao squeezed in, the small firewood room seemed to have no air circulation.

Rong Enqing just felt very suffocated and stood up to walk out.

Yun Hao stood in front of her, bowed, and said politely: "Madam, Li is dead, and it is useless to pursue it. It is better to compensate the child, raise her well, find a good marriage for her in the future, and let her live a smooth life. I am afraid that Li would also like to see such an outcome, right?"

Rong Enqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean..."

Yun Hao didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Yun Luo will be adopted by the Marquis' Mansion, and I will give Yun Luo another 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Hao, "And then?"

"Please don't pursue Li's death any further, Madam." Yun Hao bowed deeply and made a deep bow with a very sincere attitude.

Rong Enqing didn't say anything, but just looked at Yun Hao deeply.

It was obvious that he was going to clean up the mess for the Jiang family.

If he wasn't in the situation, Rong Enqing would really like to praise him as a filial son!

Unfortunately, some people don't appreciate it.

Before Rong Enqing could say anything, Jiang rushed over and pushed Yun Hao hard, shouting angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yun Luo is absolutely not allowed to be adopted by them! And don't even think about the dowry!"

"Mother!" Yun Hao called out to Jiang helplessly, trying to persuade her, but she continued, "I never ordered that slave to kill Li, so why should I be afraid?"

"Besides, even if it was really me who forced Li to death, what could Rong do to me?" Jiang's attitude was surprisingly tough. While speaking, she turned her head and looked at Rong Enqing provocatively.

"If it was really you who ordered someone to force Li to death, then I'll have to ask you to go to the Jingzhou government office." Rong Enqing smiled, looked at Jiang who was courting death, and said calmly: "Li is registered as a good citizen. Do you think she is a slave in your house? Or a concubine who can be bought and sold? Do you think no one is responsible for Li's death?"

For a matter like the Li family, no one would pursue it. For a family like theirs, they could just raise their hands and deal with it.

But if Rong Enqing really wanted to investigate, neither Jiang nor the two maids would be able to escape. Saying that they would be sent to the government office was not just a scare tactic.

Jiang's face changed, and she said in a strong but weak voice, "Do you think I was scared?" Her tone was no longer as imposing as before, "I didn't ask anyone to kill Li, it was that slave who acted on her own. Even if you go to the government office, I'm not afraid of you."

Yun Hao just felt a headache and shouted at Jiang, "Mom, please stop talking! Leave everything to me."

This time Jiang didn't say anything, but there was still some unwillingness in her eyes.

"Madam, let's stick to what we said before. If Yun Luo is adopted by the Marquis's Mansion, we will compensate her with an additional 20,000 taels of silver as a dowry. What do you think?" Yun Hao raised the price again.

When Jiang heard this, she was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Yun Hao's sharp eyes.

The purpose of Rong Enqing's trip, in addition to finding out whether Jiang was the mastermind behind Li's death, was mainly to force the second branch to adopt Yun Luo to her.

By now, the purpose of her trip had basically been achieved. Judging from Jiang's tough attitude, it was more likely that the two maids acted on their own. This was consistent with her initial guess.

Yun Luo's adoption was settled. The extra twenty thousand taels of silver for the dowry was a pleasant surprise.

As for Li's death, after all this trouble, the two maids will not have a good ending. Especially the maid named Cui Liu, I'm afraid she will not survive. Well, she will pay for Li's life.

After thinking for a while, Rong Enqing finally nodded and agreed, "Okay. After Li is buried tomorrow, I will take Yunluo back to the Marquis' Mansion. When we pick an auspicious day, I will ask the elders of the clan to go to the ancestral hall and record Yunluo in the family tree. Before that, I want to see the compensation money."

"Madam, please rest assured. Within three days, the twenty thousand taels of silver will be delivered to the Marquis' Mansion!"

"That's fine. I won't take care of the rest. I'll leave now." He stood up and walked out. Nanshan hurried forward to support him.

Before Rong Enqing went out, he glanced at Cui Liu who was still lying on the ground.

She thought the girl would ask her for help, but unexpectedly, the girl just lay on the ground without moving.

Rong Enqing didn't believe that Jiang Shi kicked her in the face. Jiang Shi didn't have that much strength. This girl was just acting.

Yun Hao and Song escorted Rong Enqing out of the yard and watched the group walk away before turning back.

When the two of them came back, in the woodshed, Jiang had already started cursing at Cui Liu again.

Yun Hao impatiently pulled Jiang aside and shouted to Butler Qian outside the door: "Drag this girl away and beat her to death with sticks!"

As soon as these words were spoken, without waiting for anyone to come outside, Cui Liu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly got up from the ground, shouting "Old lady" and rushed towards Jiang.

Jiang was startled and stepped back quickly.

The woodshed was too small, and before Cui Liu could pounce on her, Yun Hao raised his foot and kicked her back to the ground.

Yun Hao's kick was not something that an old woman like Jiang could handle. Cui Liu immediately lay on the ground and cried out in pain. When Jiang had kicked her down before, she was acting a bit, but this time her internal organs were really injured. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even get up.

But it was precisely because Yun Hao's kick was too fierce that Cui Liu was really scared. She shouted to Jiang with an unstable breath: "Old lady, please save me! You can't do this to me! Have you forgotten..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Jiang was furious and interrupted Cui Liu in a hurry.

At this time, Butler Qian had already come in with all the strong servants of the previous year.

The servants came forward, lifted up Cui Liu from the left and right and were ready to drag her out.
