Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

"Juan'er, take Cai'er to have a rest!" Liu Dongcheng said to Liu Juan calmly.

Liu Juan originally wanted to suggest that her mother go, but after seeing the looks in her father and brother's eyes, she moved her lips and finally left with her brother.

The room returned to silence again. After a long time, Chen Shuman could no longer hold back and broke the silence first.

"Dad, what should we do now? That damn girl is very smart now. Are we just going to let them go on being so arrogant?" When Chen Shuman thought about how she was almost divorced for being unfilial, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching. This hatred was not only directed at Liu Xu's family, but also at Liu Dashan and his wife.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Liu Dongcheng looked at her coldly.

"I..." Chen Shuman shrank her neck when she met his eyes.

"Shut up, you're more likely to cause trouble than to help!" Liu Dongcheng couldn't help but scold him again, then turned his gaze to his eldest son.

The daughter and the youngest son in this family are like Chen Shuman, stupid and ignorant. Fortunately, the eldest son is like him, otherwise he would have divorced this stupid woman today. Thinking of this, he glared at Chen Shuman fiercely, and then said: "Ming'er, now your grandfather and grandmother are on the side of the second house, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get this mushroom method."

"Dad, you also said that it's just not easy to get, not that it's completely impossible to get. What's more, I think now is a great time!" Liu Chengming raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Liu Dongcheng looked puzzled.

"It's just right for grandpa and grandma to move to the old house. Aren't they trying to be filial sons and grandchildren? If Mrs. Hu offers the two elders to exchange for the prescription, do you think she will give it or not?" Liu Chengming sneered. Chen Shuman saw the coldness in his eyes, which frightened her, but it disappeared when she looked more closely.

"Ming'er, those are your grandparents..." Liu Dongcheng spoke incoherently. He certainly wanted the recipe, and he did have a grudge against the old couple because of what happened today, but he had never thought of hurting his parents in exchange.

Liu Chengming restrained the emotions in his eyes and looked at Liu Dongcheng innocently:

"Dad, what are you thinking? We just asked Mr. Hu to invite grandpa and grandma to visit. You don't think... Dad, you also said that they are my real grandpa and grandma!" Liu Chengming put on a look that said he was very sad but didn't want to say more.

"Well, Dad was mistaken. Dad apologizes to you. I was just afraid that you would be angry about what happened this afternoon." Liu Dongcheng also felt that he had wronged his son. After all, from childhood to adulthood, his parents loved Ming'er the most.

"It's okay, my son didn't express himself clearly." Liu Chengming smiled warmly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Then tell me how to deal with this matter? That damn girl doesn't allow us to go to the old house now, and your grandfather and the others will definitely not cooperate with us now. If this matter gets to know, even if your grandfather and grandmother are fine, your imperial examination..." Liu Dongcheng seemed a little hesitant.

"Dad, who said we have to do this ourselves?" Liu Chengming said with a smile.

"Then, who should do it?" Liu Dongcheng was puzzled.

"Dad, Mom, in the days ahead, you will do this and that..." Liu Chengming said with a gleam in his eyes.

When Liu Dongcheng and his wife heard this, they were confused at first, then nodded, and finally they suddenly realized.

The three of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that Liu Juan, who was supposed to be resting in the room, was eavesdropping outside the door with her mouth covered.

"Ming'er, will this work? I always feel that...your grandpa and grandma don't mean that much to that dead girl. It's better to get rid of those two little guys than to get rid of them!" Chen Shuman said with vicious eyes.

Liu Chengming's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at her and saw that she was just full of resentment. He then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, grandma may not be that important, but grandpa has been on her side all this time. Once people have money, they will especially cherish their reputation. If she is unwilling, won't the villagers point at her spine and scold her? As for the two little ones, don't even think about them. There are so many servants in her family, and it is said that they all know kung fu. The yard is protected like an iron barrel!" Liu Chengming said slowly, but there was an indescribable look in his eyes.

"Ming'er, will this really not hurt your grandparents?" Liu Dongcheng was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, Dad. He'll be fine at most because he's just a little frightened. If you're worried, you can ask Grandpa and the boss to give him more instructions."

Liu Dongcheng thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it. At worst, we can comfort the two elders after the matter is done."

"Then I will go back to my room to rest first, and my parents should go to bed early too!" After Liu Chengming finished speaking, he stood up and saluted.

"Go ahead and rest early. You have to go back to the academy tomorrow." Liu Dongcheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone went back to their rooms.

As soon as Liu Dongcheng finished speaking, Liu Juan covered her mouth and quietly returned to her room.

Liu Juan was lying on the bed, her eyes full of fear and anxiety. She had always known that her brother was not as gentle as he seemed, but she had never expected that he could be so cruel.

That was their grandpa and grandma who had loved them since they were little. Whenever there was something better at home, grandma would always think of him first. He actually...

Liu Juan hid in the quilt and shivered. She felt that her elder brother was really terrible.

After Liu Dongcheng and the other person returned to the house, Liu Dongcheng lectured his wife again before taking a rest.

Liu Chengming in the other room, however, had no desire to sleep at all.

He was sitting at his desk, writing furiously. When the ink dried up, he put it into an envelope. In the flickering firelight, the three words "Langya Village" could be vaguely seen.

The night in early winter was as thick as ink, and the cold wind was howling, making the window frames rustle.

In Liu Chengming's room, the candlelight flickered dimly. He carefully put away the mysterious envelope and gently placed it under his pillow. Then, he slowly undressed and lay down. The thin bedding could not resist the coldness of early winter, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

The sinister smile at the corner of his mouth looked particularly strange under the dim candlelight.

Oh, how could he not know the importance of his grandparents? His target was not them. As if he had thought of something, his smile became more intense, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity in the dark night, revealing a creepy calculation.

Outside the window, tree branches swayed violently in the cold wind, and leaves fell from time to time. The cold moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold light, as if it was also spying on something.
