"Ma, what has your old Yu done wrong? Should we ask the master to send someone to arrest him?"

Ma was already terrified at this moment, and was about to leave with the two children in tow, but the two children were looking at her with the same uneasiness.

"Mom, we've heard about what happened to the Zhao family and the Fang family. Is it our turn now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, your father will be fine..."

Ma interrupted the children in a hurry, locked the door, took the two children and left. Those who were watching the fun became even more curious.

Ma ignored those people and just took her two children and walked quickly out of the city.

Accountant Yu had no way of escaping this time, and he had bought his mother and the others a chance to escape. She absolutely could not stay here any longer.

With this belief, Ma took her two children to the carriage shop to buy a carriage, and soon drove away from the capital.

Ma said nothing and just took the two children away, but she didn't expect that there were other stewards of the marquis' mansion living nearby.

After Ma and the two children left, those people chased after another servant in the Marquis' Mansion and asked him about what had happened in the mansion in the past two days.

Since that person lived nearby, he must be a well-known figure in the Marquis' Mansion. Naturally, he knew that the rumor spread by the accountant Yu in the mansion in the morning that the Marquis' Mansion was penniless and that he, a single servant, had to support the entire mansion.

When that person said these words he thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect that everyone else took it seriously. All of a sudden, the news that the Marquis' Mansion was impoverished and needed servants to support the entire Mansion spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Hou never thought that just asking Mother Luo to confront the accountant would cause the matter to become so big. By the time she got the news, almost everyone in the capital knew about it.

His two sons have not yet found their marriages. If something happens to the Marquis's Mansion at this time, what will happen to the children in marrying their sons to noble ladies?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Hou had the instigator of the whole incident, Yu the Accountant, beaten to death with sticks.

Originally, she wanted to capture Ma and the two children together, but Ma escaped too quickly, and by the time she wanted to look for her, it was too late.

Liu Tianshu had never expected that such a small matter would cause such a big fuss and even affect the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. She was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice during dinner.

Accountant Yu is really something. She has already let him off this time. If he had paid the money back quietly and not made so much trouble, he would still be the accountant of the Marquis' Mansion, and his wife and two children would not have become fugitive slaves.

Liu Tianshu only sighed for a while about what happened to the accountant Yu's family, and when Hou asked for the housekeeper's power, she generously handed it over.

Now the Marquis' Mansion has no money at all and has a bad reputation. If someone is willing to take over this hot potato, she would be happy to let it go.

Without the trouble of a housekeeper, Liu Tianshu's life became more relaxed. Every day she either stared at Liu Tian'ai and made her kneel as punishment, or went out to meet friends or attend various banquets.

Of course, even if everyone in the capital knew that the Marquis's Mansion was so poor that it had to rely on a servant to support the family, no one would be so tactless as to bring it up in front of her, so she lived an easy and comfortable life.

Three years have passed, and she has never felt so relaxed. Liu Tianshu just feels that this is the life that people should live. She will never be like in her previous life, where she was foolishly open-hearted to the entire Marquis' Mansion, and in the end, no one felt sorry for her even when she worked herself to the point of falling ill.

Ten days passed in a flash, and before they knew it, it was the day when Han Zhiqing proposed to Liu Tianjia.

That day, Liu Tianshu got up early, dressed up, and asked someone to prepare a carriage full of gifts to take back to the Liu family.

In this world, what Liu Tianshu cares about most are her mother Lin and her two younger brothers, but before she falls out with the Liu family, she cannot lack courtesy.

I haven’t been home for three years. This is my first time back home, and I always bring gifts for everyone in the family.

Fortunately, she now has money in her hands and is not short of this little money. Returning home in a grand manner will also bring honor to Lin and her two younger brothers.

Everything was ready. Just as Liu Tianshu was about to go back home, Liu Tianyi suddenly rushed over and asked anxiously, "Liu Tianshu, I just got the news that you are going back to the Liu family today?"

"Yes!"

The news that Liu Tianshu was going to return home had already spread ten days ago, and she thought Liu Tian'ai should have come and quarreled with her a long time ago.

She had been staying quietly in the yard these days, and Liu Tianshu was still wondering why she had just received the news.

"Liu Tianshu, wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come right away..."

After getting the exact news, Liu Tian'ai said this and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she looked back with a serious expression.

"Liu Tianshu, you'd better not abandon me, otherwise..."

"What else are you going to do?"

Liu Tianshu sneered and ordered the two maids who were cleaning the courtyard, "Madam Liu is still under house arrest. Bring the two maids guarding the Liu Garden to the courtyard and make them kneel down. I will deal with them after I come back."

"Yes!"

The two maids took the order and left. Liu Tianshu then instructed a group of second-class maids in the yard, "Madam Liu ran around while under house arrest and disobeyed the rules of the mansion. Make her kneel in the yard and wait for me to come back and deal with her."

"Liu Tianshu, you dare..."

"I have already given the order. Do you think I dare to do it?"

Looking back at Liu Tian'ai, Liu Tianshu sighed.

"Liu Tian'ai, you should know that a concubine has no family. This is the Marquis's Mansion, and no one will support you. Don't even think about going back to the Liu family to ask the old lady and father to support you. If they dare to do it to you on the first day, I will dare to do it to you for the remaining 29 days."

Realizing that what Liu Tianshu said was true, Liu Tian'ai looked at her in disbelief.

"You... We are sisters, how could you do this to me?"

"It seems that you haven't learned your lesson after being punished to kneel for so many days."

Liu Tianshu sneered.

"Liu Tian'ai, men are responsible for external affairs, while women are responsible for internal affairs. Don't say that no one in this mansion will stand up for you. Even if there is, no one can stop me, the mistress of the house, from teaching my concubines a lesson.

You have chosen the worst path after careful consideration. If I were you, I would be honest and make my life a little easier."

"Stop exaggerating here. Aren't you afraid that this matter of yours will get out and everyone in the capital will know that you are a jealous woman?"

"You alone cannot represent all the concubines in the mansion."

After saying this, Liu Tianshu seemed to suddenly think of something and smiled, "You are indeed the Marquis's only concubine now, but don't worry, when I come back from the Liu family, I will let Tao'er and the others be concubines, and you will have a companion in the future."

Gu Jinyun didn't even have any other concubines, and she was already on the verge of falling out of favor. If the Marquis had a few more concubines, Liu Tian'ai simply couldn't imagine her future life.

"Liu Tianshu, the Marquis is your man too. Even if you don't care about him, you shouldn't take just any Tom, Dick or Harry as his concubine, right?"
