A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

"It's him! It's Chu Heng!"

Mrs. Liu stared for a long time and finally recognized the person opposite her. It was the person she was looking for!

Seeing that the man was about to enter the large courtyard opposite, Mrs. Liu made up her mind and walked over quickly.

"Lord Chu!"

Mrs. Liu's voice trembled a little.

Chu Heng turned around and looked at Madam Liu.

It only took him a moment to recognize the person in front of him.

"You are..., how did you find this place?"

Chu Heng's eyes were full of surprise.

Madam Liu bowed to him and said, "I have something important to tell you, Your Excellency. Are you free?"

Chu Heng restrained his expression, looked around, and whispered, "Wait at the Mingpinju Teahouse outside the alley!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Chu Heng was willing to see her, it would be fine.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Heng came to Mingpinju alone and walked into the private room where Madam Liu was. He had changed out of his official uniform and put on a dark brown robe with dark patterns.

Seeing him come in, Mrs. Liu stood up again nervously.

"Sit down and talk!"

Chu Heng glanced at her, sat down opposite her and spoke.

Mrs. Liu sat back in her chair, feeling somewhat uneasy. She had come to Chu Heng without telling Landlord Liu, and her motives were not pure. She knew she was playing with fire, but for Yuyao, she had no choice but to do so!

Madam Liu was just thinking about how to start the conversation when she heard Chu Heng ask, "How is Wanwan doing?"

Mrs. Liu's expression froze, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Yes, Chu Heng didn't know that Liu Wan was dead!

She took out the jade pendant and the hundred-liang silver note from her pocket and placed them on the table.

When Chu Heng saw the things on the table, his heart tightened and he was inexplicably flustered. He asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Madam Liu said, "In fact, Liu Wan died sixteen years ago. These two items are her relics."

"what?"

Chu Heng's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He trembled and said, "Are you telling the truth? How could this be?"

Madam Liu picked up the jade pendant and said, "Isn't this the token of love you gave her back then? It's a pity that you never came back."

Chu Heng's face was full of guilt, and he said, "I am sorry to Wanwan."

Madam Liu picked up the hundred-liang silver note again and said, "This is what you asked my master to bring to Liu Wan when he came to Beijing to look for you after Liu Wan found out she was pregnant, right?"

This time, before Chu Heng could speak, Madam Liu continued, "In fact, Liu Wan did not abort the baby. She gave birth to a daughter. It was just that she was too worried during her pregnancy, and she had a heavy hemorrhage after giving birth, and she passed away!"

Chu Heng was stunned again. Liu Wan was dead! She also left him a daughter!

Seventeen years ago, Chu Heng went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When he passed through Ping'an Town, he encountered robbers. Not only was his money taken away, but he was also injured. Fortunately, he met the landlord Liu, who saved him.

During his recovery, he lived in Liu's house. Later, he fell in love with Liu Wan, the landlord's sister, and promised that he would come back to marry Liu Wan regardless of whether he could pass the exam or not.

However, Chu Heng never came back, and Liu Wan was already pregnant with his child.

Unable to wait for Chu Heng to come back, Landlord Liu went to the capital to find him and told him that Liu Wan was pregnant with his child.

But Chu Heng had already passed the imperial examination and was engaged to the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an. He sent Landlord Liu away with a simple apology and a hundred taels of silver, and also asked Liu Wan to abort the child.

Landlord Liu was very angry, but he could not do anything to him. Liu Wan was reluctant to kill a little life, so she insisted on giving birth to the child. However, she was too sad during pregnancy and died of heavy bleeding after giving birth.

In short, it is just another story of Chen Shimei.

After Liu Wan died, the landlord Liu and his wife adopted her child and announced that she was their little daughter. This little daughter was naturally Liu Shuyao.

"Are you telling the truth? Wanwan, is she dead?"

Chu Heng's voice was noticeably trembling.

Liu Wan was the woman he loved and his first woman. However, between the future and the woman, he chose the latter without hesitation.

So, he was still very sad about this news.

Now, he has been wearing an official robe and has already established a firm foothold in the capital. If Liu Wan came to him at this time, he would still be willing to take her to his house and give her a place.

Unfortunately, Liu Wan is dead and he will never see her again!

Madam Liu said, "How could I lie to you about this? It only takes two days at most to get from the capital to Ping'an Town. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate in person."

Because Chu Heng felt guilty, he had not been to Ping'an Town for many years, so he knew nothing about Liu Wan's death.

He knew that Madam Liu would never lie to him about this, so he asked, "What is the purpose of Madam's visit this time...?"

Finally, they got to the point. Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat, because everything she said before was true, so she didn't feel guilty about it. But the next words...

Mrs. Liu forced herself to remain calm. Now the arrow was on the string and it had to be shot!

She clenched her fists and said slowly, "Something happened to your and Liu Wan's daughter."

"Our daughter?"

Chu Heng was a little dazed, as if he couldn't adapt to having a new daughter. He asked, "What happened to her?"

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea and slowly spoke out the words she had rehearsed hundreds of times in her mind.

"She made the wrong friends and was deceived. That person offended the imperial envoy who went to Ping'an Town to provide disaster relief, but he put the blame on her. She is still imprisoned in prison!"

"What? She's in jail?"

Mrs. Liu saw Chu Heng so nervous, knowing that it should be possible, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said: Yes! He was fined three thousand taels of silver and had to go to jail for a month.

We have already paid the money, but how is she going to spend a month in a prison? How is she going to survive after she is released?

Originally, my master said that he would never let me come to see you, but I have no choice, right? "

After saying this, Mrs. Liu covered her face and sobbed softly. These tears were not fake, she was of course really sad for Liu Yuyao.

Chu Heng said without much hesitation: "I understand, leave this matter to me!

Also, after something like this, I think her reputation has been ruined, and she can't stay in a small place like Ping'an Town. When I rescue her, I'll let her come to the capital. The Chu Mansion can still give her a place to stay."

Hearing this, Madam Liu's heart beat like a drum. She made the right bet! What Chu Heng said was exactly what she was thinking.

She raised Liu Shuyao, and now Liu Shuyao is getting married, so she has a good ending. So, she can use her to help her daughter and let Liu Yuyao replace her as the lady of the Chu Mansion!

Chu Heng asked: "By the way, what's her name? I'll get started on this matter right away."

Madam Liu still felt a little guilty. She swallowed her saliva and said with mixed feelings: "Liu Yuyao!"
