Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 256

"Yao Niang still understands what I mean." Liu Yucheng patted Yao Niang's hand and thought to himself, that's right. After all, this is not Liucheng. He can't cover the sky with one hand. It is better for him not to use force unless it is absolutely necessary.

At this time, Liu Yucheng felt that Tan Xiying was still useful, because the jade token for entering the palace belonged to the Tan family.

If it weren't for Tan Xiying's relationship, he would have no chance of entering the palace even if he wanted to.

However, Yao Niang did not take Liu Yucheng's praise to heart.

She was scared after seeing how cruel Liu Yucheng was to Liu Ruolin.

In the past, she saw how much Liu Yucheng loved Liu Ruolin.

In the Liu family, Liu Ruolin is the overlord.

No one dared to offend her, including her wife, Mrs. Tan, and her three children.

However, now, Liu Ruolin's status in Liu Yucheng's heart has plummeted!

The speed of this descent did not happen overnight, but was decreasing rapidly.

This made Yao Niang see Liu Yucheng's selfishness. With such a father, how could her daughter Ruyan have a good ending?

Yao Niang only thought that if she did less evil, she could ensure her daughter's well-being for the rest of her life.

"Dongjin, go to the warehouse and find the jade token for entering the palace." Liu Yucheng ordered.

"Yes!" Dongjin had seen the appearance of the jade token, so he naturally knew where it was.

"Brother Dong!" The new servant in the warehouse called out respectfully when he saw Dong Jin.

"Well, keep an eye on the warehouse. I'll find something for you, master." Dong Jin was very proud at this time.

He follows the master around, enjoying the best food and drink. In the Liu family, besides the master, he is the one who has the most say.

Dongjin, who was originally very proud, went to get the jade token for entering the palace according to his memory, but found that there was only an empty box left there.

"Where is the jade token?" Dong Jin roared.

"Dong...Brother Dong." The servant ran in frightened.

He felt a little bit of a lie in his heart, as he had only been assigned to guard the warehouse for only three days.

I heard that the last group of people guarding the warehouse were beaten to death by the master. Thinking of this, the servant trembled with fear.

"I'm asking you, have you ever seen what's in this box?" Dong Jin asked angrily.

"Brother Dong, since we took over guarding this warehouse, no one has entered it, including us." The servant said quickly. After all, they were just the people guarding the warehouse and did not have the key to the warehouse, so they could not enter on weekdays.

At this time, Dongjin didn't bother to punish the two guards. He quickly took the box and went to find Liu Yucheng.

The two servants knelt there and looked at each other.

"Brother Zhang, what should we do now?" asked a servant.

"We'll guard outside and don't let anyone in." The older servant named Zhang thought for a while and said, wailing in his heart at this moment.

If the master blames them, they might lose their lives.

"Brother Zhang, what should I do? I don't want to die yet! I haven't even found a wife yet." The younger servant was named Zhu Qiang. He had originally thought that being assigned to guard the warehouse was a good job.

But it’s only been three days, how could something go wrong?

Why is he so unlucky?

"There's no use crying!" Zhang Qi was also afraid, but now, being afraid was not going to help.

He was just a little annoyed because his wife had just become pregnant. He had thought that he could get a good job in the Liu family, but he didn't expect that it would be such a life-threatening job.

"Master, something bad has happened. The jade token is missing!" Dong Jin walked into the front hall holding the box and said with a distressed look on his face.

"What? How could he disappear for no reason?" Liu Yucheng stood up quickly upon hearing that. He looked at Dongjin in disbelief.

It would be fine if the silver was lost in their warehouse, but why did they also lose the jade token? Most people probably don’t know the function of the jade token.

Moreover, even if you hand the jade token to the palace, it does not necessarily mean that you can see the master of the palace. For ordinary people, it is actually useless to hold the jade token.

"I don't know either. The guard is new. They said that no one has entered the warehouse recently. Could it be..." What Dongjin wanted to say was, could it be that the eldest lady had taken it away before?

"Useless thing, drag him out and beat him to death!" Liu Yucheng said angrily.

"Master, those people have never entered the warehouse. Could it be that the jade token was taken away by the eldest lady?" Yao Niang said with a look of doubt.

"Go find the eldest lady." Liu Yucheng's face was gloomy, and he thought to himself that this thing might have been taken away by Liu Ruolin. After all, Liu Ruolin knew about the jade token and knew its function better.

Considering that Liu Ruolin wants to marry the second prince, there is no guarantee that she will not secretly enter the palace to see Concubine Xian.

Thinking of this, Liu Yucheng clenched his fists.

"Wait!" Liu Yucheng stopped Dongjin and changed the subject, "Call the young lady's personal maid, Meihua."

Liu Yucheng changed his words and said that after all, Liu Ruolin might not tell the truth.

Liu Yucheng didn't dare to think that the trump card he had kept would be wasted by that stupid Liu Ruolin.

He was afraid that he really couldn't explain to the prince.

He didn't even dare to think about whether King Dong'an would leave him alive given his temperament.

Meihua was carried into the front hall.

After all, Liu Ruolin was beaten half to death by Liu Yucheng, so how could Meihua, Liu Ruolin's personal maid, escape?

"Your servant greets the master." Meihua stood up tremblingly and bowed to Liu Yucheng.

She was extremely scared. In the past, when she was with the eldest lady, the servants in the mansion did not dare to offend her.

But ever since the eldest lady got into trouble, everyone in the mansion can step on her.

At this time, Meihua was also very scared. The master asked her to come over again, and Meihua felt very unsure.

"I'm asking you, has the eldest lady ever entered the palace since returning to the capital?" Liu Yucheng didn't want to ask whether Liu Ruolin had ever taken the jade token, but asked directly whether Liu Ruolin had ever entered the palace.

"You should know what the consequences will be if you lie." Liu Yucheng said again, fearing that Meihua would lie.

"My lord, the eldest lady went to the palace to see Empress Xian on the third day after returning to the capital." Meihua said quickly without hiding anything.

"Evil girl!" Liu Yucheng roared angrily, spitting out blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Master!" Yao Niang was shocked. At this moment, she had no time to be happy. After all, Liu Ruolin was punished. Although she was happy, what Liu Yucheng would do was not conducive to the subsequent development of the Liu family.

It would be fine if she was alone, but she also has a daughter, Liu Ruyan.

She only hopes that her daughter will have a safe and smooth life in the future.

Liu Yucheng rushed into Liu Ruolin's yard angrily with a whip in his hand.

"Dad!" Liu Ruolin trembled unconsciously when she looked at Liu Yucheng. She knew from a young age that her father was very cruel, but she never thought that the target of this cruelty would be herself.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong.
