The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

In less than a breath, everything inside became completely quiet.

The second uncle hugged Qiu's waist and saw that she was still in a daze. He said casually, "Sister-in-law, the Chen family gave Sister Yu'er a lot of betrothal gifts."

"Who said it wasn't? It was a good choice to choose the Chen family. I didn't expect that Third Master Chen looked smart, but turned out to be as stupid as your eldest brother," Qiu replied without warning and smugly, "Prince Qi is unreliable. I have offended him completely. It seems that I should try to please that damn girl in the future. Who knows, maybe the Chen family's property will be mine!"

The second uncle laughed sarcastically and didn't take it seriously. He knew this woman was just so greedy.

He agreed with her on the surface, and then said a few more nice words, pretending to be aggrieved. He said, "Sister-in-law, you also understand the current situation of the Liu family. Now Zhang'er is useless, and the descendants of the Liu family can't pass the imperial examination. In the short term, nothing will happen, but in the long term, those people in the North Court will definitely have other ideas. We have to find a new way out. You watched my son grow up, and he just happened to have a business recently."

Qiu had heard it, but she was not angry. She had helped the Second House when Pingnan Marquis's Mansion was doing well. Moreover, she had carefully considered what Second Uncle said and felt that it made sense. So she asked, "How much do you need?"

"Not much, not much, just three hundred thousand taels." When he came to Fuhe Hall just now, he privately asked his subordinates about the amount of the betrothal gift for surrendering to him.

If he wanted all of it, the old woman might not agree, but if he wanted most of it, he thought the woman would hesitate but would not refuse.

"So many?" Qiu was indeed hesitant.

His second uncle began to talk sweet words. Under the attack of the sugar-coated bullet, Qiu quickly agreed.

Having achieved what he wanted, his second uncle comforted Mrs. Qiu for a few more words, then put on his clothes and immediately had the betrothal gifts carried to his second room.

As soon as the betrothal gifts were carried up, Liu Yu and his companions followed closely and arrived at Fuhe Hall.

Liu Yu directly stated his purpose: "Grandmother just brought the betrothal gifts from the Chen family. I felt that you treated me like that before, and after thinking about it, I felt that it would not be appropriate for you to keep it with you."

I almost said, "You treated me like this, why did you take my things? Give them back to me now."

Although Liu Heng didn't know why his niece suddenly changed her mind, he still agreed with her change of mind. He followed Liu Yu and asked Qiu to take out the things and return them to the North Courtyard.

The same was true for others. Qiu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Didn't you say you would give me the betrothal gift? Why do you suddenly go back on your word?" Qiu was so angry that she stood up and stomped her feet, growling, "The betrothal gift is mine once it's given to me, and don't even think about taking it back." If you want to take things from her, you have to be dead.

Liu Yu took in all of Qiu's reactions. She smiled sarcastically, "Qiu, are you getting old and confused? When did you hear me say I was going to give you the betrothal gift? How dare you say that? I haven't even asked you yet, but you secretly took my betrothal gift to your Fuhetang. How can this be justified? If you don't give it back to me, I'll ask the elders of the Liu family to judge. Where is the Liu family's rule?"

"Which family would give betrothal gifts to grandmother? I'm afraid the elders of the Liu family won't agree to your withholding my betrothal gifts like this."

Qiu choked. Don't talk about this damn girl. What she said makes sense.

The betrothal gift was given to the North Courtyard. In their view, the North Courtyard was a group of lambs. As long as they pulled them, they would all be taken to their home. If these things were here, they would have no way to make any plans.

They would certainly agree with this damn girl and ask her to spit out the betrothal gift.

You can imagine that nearly three hundred thousand things were vomited out.

Not only did Qiu feel heartbroken, she also had a headache and felt like she was losing half her life.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind not to return it. She didn't believe that those people from the Liu family would dare to come and rob her. Even if they did,

Anyway, the things were not with her and they couldn't find them. Thinking of this, Qiu became hardened and refused to give the betrothal gift no matter what.

Liu Yu took in Qiu's expression. She snorted in her heart. Don't want to spit it out? That's not up to them. She has many ways to make Qiu spit it out.

She took two steps forward, leaned over and whispered in Qiu's ear, "Grandma, I advise you not to be greedy for things that are not yours. Otherwise, I don't mind exposing the secret that my second uncle is not my grandfather's child. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Qiu's pupils suddenly contracted. She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Liu Yu, trying to read something from her expression.

But the result still disappointed her. Liu Yu still looked indifferent, with a smile on her lips, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth.

But she was so careful in this matter, how did this damn girl know?

Could it be that this girl cheated him?

No, no,

Even if he was trying to trick her, that damn girl must have noticed something.

There is just no evidence yet, so it should be like this.

Qiu comforted herself in this way, but she had already lost most of her confidence.

She didn't dare to gamble, as this concerned her and Zhang'er's life.

Even if she couldn't swallow this humiliation, Qiu could only grit her teeth and swallow it.

But most of the betrothal gifts had already been taken away by my second uncle.

After much persuasion, Liu Yu finally agreed that he would return the things tomorrow morning.

Liu Yu walked out of Fuhe Hall with the corners of his lips slightly raised, an expression on his face that no one could understand.

She instructed Ah Zhong who had returned again: "Go to Second Uncle's house again and tell him that Qiu is going to his house tonight to get the things back."

There's a good show to watch.

Ah Zhong smiled slyly: "Okay, ma'am."

The one who couldn't believe it the most after hearing this was Liu Heng. The betrothal gift was meant for their Pingnan Marquis Mansion, so how did it go to his second uncle's house?

But he didn't ask in the end. After all, this was Liu Yu's business. Seeing how confident she looked, it shouldn't be a problem.

I thought that if it didn't work out, it would be better if I could do it myself.

Time passed quickly and it was evening. Liu Yu brought Mr. Chen Sanye, Liu Yan and Liu Heng to the teahouse opposite the second house.

She ordered a bowl of melon seeds and a little wine, and sipped them slowly, as if she was watching a big show.

As expected, Liu Yu was not disappointed. Qiu didn’t dare to do it during the day, but she dared to do it at night!

Nearing the hour of Xu, Mrs. Qiu, wearing a black cloak and accompanied by her capable maid, knocked on the door of the second room.

After a while, the door of the second room opened, and inside stood an old woman who was about the same age as Qiu. She was wearing brocade and silk clothes, with a golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and the accessories she wore were even more grand and luxurious than Qiu's.
