The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Soon the old lady stumbled out, her originally rosy complexion turned pale, and her steps were staggering, obviously she was frightened.

Master Chen San let go of Liu Yu, and hurried forward to catch the old lady, and ordered:

"Feng Mo, Feng Xiao, go inside and see if there is anyone alive?"

"Third brother! Tell mother, was it Zhou Zheng who did this?" The old lady held his arm tightly, her eyes red, exuding a hostility that had not appeared in many years:

"This is going after our lives! You must not spare him. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Mr. Chen San nodded: "My son has done the investigation." He turned to Liu Yu and said, "Yu'er, accompany your mother to the side and wait. I will go in and take a look."

The moment Mr. Chen Sanye let go of Liu Yu, she could no longer hold back when she saw the bloodstains and squatted aside to vomit.

After hearing the instructions from Master Chen San, Liu Yu wiped his mouth, and with the help of Guyu, he walked to the old lady, took over Master Chen San's position, and helped the old lady choose an open space with good air circulation to wait.

Seeing that Liu Yu also looked unhappy, the old lady patted her hands, suppressed her discomfort, and said gratefully:

"Yu'er, thank you so much. If you hadn't asked the family to move to the other courtyard in advance, your sisters-in-law and I would have died."

This is not her credit, Liu Yu will not accept it.

"Mother, please don't take credit for this. This is all thanks to Third Master..."

"I don't know my son yet." The old lady interrupted Liu Yu and said, "He is not so careful. Even if he is, it is because of your influence. It is also your credit."

"You are the lucky star of my Chen family. Otherwise, we would have died many times less. Don't argue anymore. I have to think about how to reward you."

"I'm not……"

"If I say it's you, then it's you."

Liu Yu smiled helplessly. This was trying to put the credit on her!

The kind that can't be turned away.

Her small arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she followed the old lady.

As the March spring breeze blew away, the thick smell of blood wafting from the Chen Mansion was blown away. Liu Yu felt less uncomfortable and the old lady's complexion also looked much better.

It was quarter of an hour later that Mr. Chen San came out, his face covered with a layer of frost that could freeze a person to death.

Only when he saw her and the old lady waiting at the door did he smile.

Master Chen San ordered the city guards who had been waiting at the door:

"I have had the body surrounded and untouched. Can you guys see if you can find any clues on it?" He then turned to the housekeeper who had come over from the other courtyard and said:

"Go to the coffin shop and find 43 coffins. Ask the city guards. If they are sure there is no problem, call some people from the mansion to collect the bodies.

If there are family members, notify them to come over, pay 30 taels each, and take the bodies back. If there are children, choose a good location and bury them in style!"

After finishing his explanation, Mr. Chen San closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and walked to Liu Yu who was waiting at the door. Seeing his depressed look, Liu Yu originally wanted to ask if there was any survivor inside, but then he didn't mention it. Both of them kept silent, helped the old lady, got on the carriage, and headed towards the villa.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. Although those who died were servants and guards, they had been living together for ten years and had followed them loyally. So many lives were lost because of them, no one could remain indifferent.

Even Liu Yu, who hadn't been in the Chen Mansion for many years, felt very uncomfortable, let alone this mother and son?

"Mother, husband, I want to give their parents the thirty taels of silver that you just mentioned as compensation, and select one person from their family to give them the qualification to enter the city."

There are requirements for the maids and guards selected by the Chen Mansion, and they need to be strictly reviewed before they can come in.

Later, with the status of Mr. Chen San in the court, the status of the maids and guards working in the Chen Mansion will rise, and it will be no longer possible for an ordinary person to enter casually.

According to her understanding, the people who stayed in the mansion were all loyal servants who had followed the old lady for a lifetime. There was even a manager of the inner courtyard who was the same age as the old man.

Some of them lived in West City and were very poor. Giving them thirty taels was sometimes nothing more precious than giving them a chance to become a servant in the Chen Mansion.

Liu Yu’s childhood experiences taught him that money could be stolen by others.

This can just alleviate the old lady's guilt and can really help their family.

The old lady agreed without hesitation and urged Liu Yu to do it.

"This is a good idea. When you go back, go ask those families with your sister-in-law. If they agree, send the people here as soon as possible. I will ask Madam Feng and Butler Chen to train them. After we move back to the mansion, we will not be short of manpower."

"Okay." Liu Yu nodded: "I'll discuss it with my sister-in-law when I get back."

The character of the servants directly affects the peace in the mansion, so this matter must be taken seriously.

After sending them to the villa, Mr. Chen San immediately entered the palace to find the eldest prince. In the afternoon, he took the imperial guards to the Zhou family.

More than 1.2 million taels of silver were seized, and all members of the Zhou family were taken to the Ministry of Justice.

The century-old Zhou family fell and disappeared in the succession of the Quan family.

On the day the young emperor ascended the throne, the Chen family became the most distinguished family in the Great Jin Dynasty. Master Chen Sanye took over the position of Chief Minister of Zhou Zhengneige, was in charge of the affairs of Wenhua Palace, and concurrently served as the Minister of Personnel. He was also ordered to serve as a regent, with the responsibility of instructing and admonishing the young emperor before he came of age.

He truly became a powerful official who was above everyone else and second only to one person, with power over the government and the country.

The ministers who had been against him were either implicated and exiled because of the Zhou family, or switched to being followers of Master Chen Sanye on the day Zhou Zheng got into trouble.

Even though the Chen family lived in a villa outside the capital, there were many ministers who came to visit with their families and expensive gifts. For a time, the house was crowded with people.

Liu Yu and Wu were in charge of the reception separately, also from morning to night. They were as busy as spinning tops and had no free time at all.

On this day, Liu Yu saw off the wife of the Left Prime Minister again, and saw Feng Mo, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten days, driving over in a carriage.

The fatigue on her face disappeared, and she lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards him.

"Third Master, you're back." Her voice could not hide the joy in her heart.

Or maybe she herself didn't realize that she couldn't live without him. Even if it was only ten days, it felt like a year to her.

Mr. Chen San also missed her. He quickly got out of the carriage and hugged Liu Yu who was running towards the carriage, and rubbed his chin against her forehead.

Little girls like Guyu blushed as much as their butts, pursed their lips and turned away.

As soon as Guyu turned his head, he met Feng Mo's direct gaze.

Guyu’s pretty little face turned even redder.

Ever since she came back from Shan'ao Village last time, although Feng Mo, the big fool, didn't say anything explicitly, he would give her things from time to time and stare at her. Even though she had never been in contact with a man, by looking at her master and grandfather, she roughly knew what he was thinking.
