Seeing that Tian, who had just been convinced by him, was about to be shaken by Liu Tian'er's tears, Liu Lanqi said: "Mother, Sister Tian is also my daughter. How can I bear to embarrass her? Please have people pack up and flee the city before the city gates are closed..."
"escape?"
Tian looked at Liu Lanqi with fear in his eyes.
"Yes, this matter is too serious. Even if I risk my life, I may not be able to protect this family. I only hope that I can stay in the palace for a while, so that mother and family members can escape from the capital. From now on, I can't serve you, so please take care of yourself."
After saying that, Liu Lanqi kowtowed to Tian, stood up, and left without looking back.
"No."
On one side was her granddaughter whom she had loved since childhood, and on the other side was her own son and all the wealth and glory. No matter how much Tian loved Liu Tian'er, she was shaken at this moment.
"Sister, your father is right. He sacrificed you to save our whole family. You don't want your parents and brothers and sisters to live on the streets from now on, right?"
"grandmother……"
Knowing that Tian had completely given up on her, Liu Tian'ai looked for help at Aunt Tian who was standing at the door watching all this.
"mother……"
Facing her daughter's pleading eyes, Aunt Tian clenched her fists tightly and said sadly: "Sister, do as your father says. He won't hurt you."
Liu Tianyi looked at Auntie Tian and Tian Shi in disbelief. They dared to plot against Gu Jinqing in public, dared not take Liu Tianshu seriously, dared to collude with outsiders to plot against Gu Jinyun, dared...
The reason she dared to do all those things was because of the love that Tian and Aunt Tian had for her.
In her heart, there is no problem that Yanagi Arashi cannot solve, and as long as her mother and grandmother stand firmly on her side, no one can touch her.
Now I know that when faced with a wealthy life and family affection, they will only choose the one that is most beneficial to them.
It was not until today that she recognized the true face of her family and realized that her family would not always protect her unconditionally, and that her family would also give up on her after weighing the pros and cons.
The Liu family could no longer be her refuge, she wanted to escape...
"Grandma, mother, I'm going to find my father..."
After a while, Liu Tian'ai slowly got up from the ground, wiped the tears from her face, and walked out of the yard.
Liu Tian'ai walked out of the courtyard gate with her head lowered and looked left and right. Before she could decide which way to escape, two servants came over.
"Miss San, the master is waiting for you in front."
"I'm going to change my clothes..."
Looking at the two obviously hostile old women in front of her, Liu Tian'ai kept backing away, looking around. Just as she was about to take the opportunity to escape, her arms were held down by the two old women and they took her away.
Liu Lanqi naturally would not go to the palace gate alone, so he was waiting not far outside Aunt Tian's yard.
She knew that Liu Tian'ai would definitely come out. Even if she didn't want to, her mother would definitely have her forced out for the sake of a comfortable life in the future.
Seeing Liu Tian'ai being escorted over, Liu Lanqi raised a satisfied smile at the corner of his lips.
"father……"
"Let's go..."
Knowing that she had no way out, Liu Tian'ai nodded slightly and followed Liu Lanqi towards the second gate.
Liu Tian'ai had nowhere to go except the Marquis' Mansion. Liu Tianshu knew that she would go to the Liu family, but she didn't expect that Liu Lanqi would actually take her to kneel at the palace gate.
The moment she received the news, Liu Tianshu just glanced coldly at Gu Jinyun who was lying on the bed and still unconscious.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over."
"I see."
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Tianshu helped Gu Jinyun tidy up the quilt. She then instructed Tao'er and the other two to take good care of Gu Jinyun before leaving.
Mother Luo was waiting outside the door. When she saw Liu Tianshu come out, she immediately put on a flattering smile.
"Madam, the old lady heard that Concubine Liu is at the gate of the palace..."
Although Mrs. Luo didn't say the rest, Liu Tianshu already knew why she came to see her.
The fact that Liu Tian'ai knelt at the palace gate meant that this was no longer a simple family matter. Before the Queen Mother spoke, they in the Marquis' Mansion could not do anything to her.
Her father, does he really think that he is the only smart man in the world?
Arriving at Canglan Courtyard, Liu Tianshu was served tea by a maid before she even sat down.
Liu Tianshu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then put it down.
Knowing that Liu Tianshu still had to go back to take care of Gu Jinyun, Hou went straight to the point.
"Liu, you are the mistress of the Last Mansion. Madam Liu's matter..."
Liu Tianshu smiled and replied, "I believe the Queen Mother will handle this impartially."
"I naturally believe that the Queen Mother will not let the Marquis suffer any injustice, but the Marquis has been seriously injured because of Concubine Liu. Have you ever thought about doing something?"
Liu Tianshu was happy to see Gu Jinyun injured and was grateful to the person who hurt him. How could he take revenge on Liu Tian'ai for this?
Besides, she didn’t have to do anything and just watched Liu Tian’ai being punished, so why should she stand up and dirty her hands?
"Madam, I believe in the Queen Mother."
"That's right. Aunt Liu is your biological sister after all. It's normal that you don't want to punish her, but everything that happened today was caused by Aunt Liu..."
"The Queen Mother will naturally investigate the truth of the matter."
Knowing that the Hou family wanted Liu Tian'ai to take all the blame so that Gu Jinqing could get away with it, and that it would not benefit her at all and would offend Liu Lanqi, she would not do it.
Knowing that Liu Tianshu was unwilling to help, Hou said directly: "Liu, since you have married into the Hou Mansion, we are a family. Tomorrow I will let Sister Qing return the power of the family to you."
"I don't have to manage those trivial matters in the Marquis' Mansion. I feel very relaxed. If the housekeeper Quan Sanmei likes it, let her hold it herself."
Seeing that Liu Tianshu was unmoved, Hou felt even worse.
"Liu, what conditions do you have to help Sister Qing?"
"I can't help."
Liu Tianshu sighed and said, "Madam, the Queen Mother is investigating this matter personally. My current task is to stay in the mansion and take good care of the Marquis. I really can't say anything to the Queen Mother."
After being rejected repeatedly by Liu Tianshu, Hou became angry.
"Liu Tianshu, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan's support."
"Madam, you'd better not scare me, otherwise I don't know what I will say to the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan."
After saying that, Liu Tianshu looked at Hou provocatively.
"After all, the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan still like me very much. Between you and me, they trust me more."
"you……"
Faced with Liu Tianshu's threat, Hou was furious but could do nothing.
"Madam, if there is nothing else, I will leave and take care of the Marquis."
"roll……"
The talks fell through, and Mrs. Hou was too lazy to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous, and she was no longer as kind to Liu Tianshu as she was at the beginning.
Liu Tianshu didn't care about this. She smiled lightly, stood up and led Guan Xue away.
Looking at Liu Tianshu's back as she left, Hou was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand heavily to the ground, letting the tea soak the carpet on the ground...
