Chapter 17: The Merchant Widowed After Her Husband Fakes His Death (7)
As someone who had served Li Liu for many years, she knew that Li Liu liked to hide her belongings separately. There was a secret compartment in her bed, which contained a lot of silver.
Seeing that Li Liu was still unconscious, she reached out and pushed her aside, lifted the quilt, and planned to take out the silver that she had hidden.
Li Liu woke up at this time, but her hands and feet were numb, her eyes were squinting and her mouth was crooked, and she couldn't speak at all!
Seeing the maid taking away her last bit of money in front of her, she hurriedly whimpered to stop her!
At this moment, she was holding the other person tightly, with half of her body hanging outside the bed.
"Go away, you old man. I have served you for several years. It's time for you to get something in return!"
The maid pulled her away with force, then left without looking back, taking the sandalwood box containing the silver jewelry.
Li Liu, who was thrown away by her, fell headfirst to the ground with a bang, and a stream of red liquid gushed out from her forehead!
Afterwards, the servants who had snatched their indentures left the Li Mansion in a swagger, taking the valuables in the mansion with them. They went to the government office overnight to cancel their slave status and waited until dawn to escape from the capital.
Therefore, in the entire Li Mansion, except for Li Liu who was unconscious and bleeding profusely, everyone was gagged, tied up and thrown into the woodshed.
It was not until the shop owners in the capital who had sold goods on credit had waited outside the Li Mansion for a whole day and no one opened the door that they rushed in and discovered the people in the woodshed and Li Liu, who had already fallen silent!
Looking at the mess in Li's mansion, the shop owners had no choice but to report to the police.
"It's over. I'm afraid we won't get our money back! What should we do?"
"That's right, I heard that Miss Gu's dowry was snatched away by those servants!"
"Let's go, let's go back first. The Li Mansion is in such a state that we can't get any money. Let's wait for Miss Gu to come back before we can talk about anything else!"
"I heard that Miss Gu went to the Pudu Temple in Xishan to burn incense. She has only been gone for two days, and the Li Mansion has become like this. Sigh."
"You all know that when the Li Mansion was confiscated, it was Miss Gu who supported it with her own hands! If it weren't for her, there would be no Li Mansion with its luxurious living. What a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"Unfortunately, I heard that the third son of the Li family was not dead at the time. He hid quietly in the Liu family for a year and even had an affair with his cousin."
"Is this true? Don't just say that!"
"That's right. If the third son of the Li family is fine, he didn't show up even though such a big incident happened!"
"That's right. Such a big thing happened. Even Madam Li died, but he was not seen leaving the house. It's probably fake!"
"As for me, I also heard about it from the servants of the Li Mansion and the waiter in my store yesterday. I don't know whether it is true or not!"
"Whether it's true or not, it's none of our business anyway. Let's wait for Miss Gu to come back and ask for the money!"
"Makes sense!"
A group of people left Li's house, shaking their heads and sighing.
Looking at the silent Li Liu and the father and daughter of the Liu family who were cursing the remaining servants, Mother Zhang sighed, took out the bribe that Li had hidden somewhere else, and left with her own indenture.
Seeing Mother Zhang leave, the other servants who were originally homeless and did not want to leave also took their indentures and left.
The servants who left last night still had some conscience and distributed the indentures of all the servants in the Li Mansion to themselves.
As for whether they are willing to leave or not, it is their own business.
The servants, who had originally thought that they could still live a comfortable life after the young lady returned, were all gone when they saw the old lady.
Then the young lady will not stay in the Li Mansion when she comes back.
Therefore, they had no choice but to leave. If they didn't leave, would they just follow the Liu family and be scolded and bullied every day?
"Aunt, aunt!"
Liu Qing'er, who was surrounding Li Liu's corpse, was still cursing the group of dogs who had locked them up in the woodshed last night.
"Oh, my sister is gone just like that!"
Father Liu said as he touched Li Liu's body which was already cold.
After seeing the situation in Li's mansion, the officials just said that they would chase after the rebellious slaves who escaped with their belongings and then left.
There is no longer any money in the Li Mansion, and nothing worth their hard work.
"Uncle, what should we do now? We still need to bury the old lady in peace!"
The concubine of the second room wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked Liu's father.
Without the old lady, the young lady of the third room will probably also leave! How will they live as an orphan and a widow in the future?
"We still need to get Gu back soon! After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family who was married in a grand sedan chair! Even if her dowry is gone, don't we still have half of the shops in the capital and thousands of acres of fertile land? Let her come back quickly to take care of my sister's funeral!"
Father Liu looked at everyone and said coldly.
"But who should go?"
One of the concubines said in a low voice.
"Someone come! Someone come! Mother Zhang!"
Father Liu felt that it was Mother Zhang who should go in person to bring Gu back.
However, after calling for a long time, there was no sign of Mother Zhang.
"A bunch of dog slaves, seeing the Li family in decline, they ran away one by one!"
Father Liu went out to check and found that there was no servant in the entire Li Mansion except them!
"Now what?"
Mother Liu asked in a low voice while looking at Li Liu's body on the ground.
"Let's go find Master Gu first. He is my sister's relative. If something this serious happens, he should bring his daughter to handle it personally. I'll go find him!"
Father Liu thought for a moment and walked towards Gu's house.
But he was turned away!
The servant of the Gu family replied that their master had gone on a long journey early in the morning and would not be back for seven days!
Father Liu returned to Li's house angrily.
"Dad, Mom, the Li family has no money left now. If Gu doesn't come back, what will we do with my aunt's funeral?"
Seeing that she couldn't find the real culprit, Liu Qing'er started to get anxious!
Why is this completely different from what she thought?
She originally thought that if she devoted herself to her cousin, she would enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, after all, he married a rich man.
And she is a fool. Her aunt has the final say and tells her to go west but not east.
All I need to do is be a loving couple with my cousin and I won’t have to worry about anything for the rest of my life.
But now my cousin is gone, and even my aunt is gone, and there is no sign of Gu anywhere.
Her dowry was also stolen by those servants!
"Well, isn't there some dowry furniture in Gu's room? Let's pawn it for her and get some money to hold sister and Yi'er's funeral first!"
"No! Gu's things cannot be touched for now!"
Liu Qing'er objected.
