Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Li Baolu looked at them sharply. Although she had lived in this era for sixteen years, she was still used to thinking of going to the police if there was a murder case.

Although Mrs. Liu and Nanny Wei didn't go into details, everyone can guess that Mrs. Lan Liu pushed her brother into the water and drowned. That was a life!

Liu Ran coughed lightly, glanced at Gu Jingyun, then softened his voice and explained to her: "Mr. Li, the Liu family is the one who suffers, maybe they don't want to report to the officials? After all, we are outsiders, so it's not easy to make decisions for them. Let the Liu family and the Lan family discuss it."

Li Baolu said with a cold face: "When will the murder case require the consent of the victim? Isn't the real victim Liu Shuo who has passed away? How do you know that he doesn't want to seek justice or report to the police?"

Liu Ran was blocked by her, a little embarrassed, he was silent for a while and wanted to explain something clearly, but Mrs. Liu got up suddenly, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Mrs. Liu turned around and saluted Li Baolu, Li Baolu quickly reached out to support her, "Ma'am?"

Mrs. Liu looked up at Li Baolu with red and swollen eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Mr. Li for your righteous words, you don't need to worry about this matter, our Liu family will deal with it with the Lan family."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Mrs. Liu was willing to give in and not make a fuss about reporting to the police.

The development of the matter to this point has little to do with their children, but they were the ones who caused the matter. Lan Liu in the middle has lost a child. Even if the Yamen found them innocent in the end, the reputation of being in the Yamen spread would be harmful. They're not too good either.

But if Mrs. Liu insisted on reporting to the officials, there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu also cared about the face of the Liu family and did not report to the officials.

Lan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, Lan Liu is his wife now, even if this happened before she came out of the court, who would care about this time period if it got out? Everyone will only remember his wife as a murderer.

At that time, it would be a scandal for the entire Lan family, and he couldn't bear it.

Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't plan to make a big deal out of it, Lan Hua immediately winked at his stunned mother.

The old lady Lan forced a smile, stepped forward to support Mrs. Liu and said, "Mother-in-law, let me go with you to freshen up."

Mrs. Liu glanced at her and didn't speak. She just lowered her head and stared at Nanny Wei, and asked hoarsely, "The ghost that brother Shuo saw back then was also your trick? My brother Shuo didn't hinder her, why did she want to harm him? ?”

Nanny Wei shook her lips and wanted to be silent, but Nanny Huang kicked her and said viciously: "You don't say it now, do you want to see Wei Zhong before you speak?"

Nanny Wei closed her eyes, thinking that the situation was over, since everyone already knew that the eldest girl had killed Young Master Shuo, it wouldn't hinder anything if she said it clearly.

Mother Wei comforted herself in her heart, and said with difficulty: "Before my wife came in, the master promised my wife that I would hand over all the family affairs to her before the eldest girl got married. The first two years were fine, but since my wife gave birth to Shuo After the young master took care of himself, the master repeatedly hinted to the eldest girl that he wanted her to give the gift to the wife."

Mrs. Liu thought of thousands of reasons for her stepdaughter, but the only thing she didn't think of was this. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped and twisted, and she couldn't help covering her chest and half leaning on the soft couch, crying and laughing. : "Just for this? I, I have never thought about palm feeding, why do I want Zhang Jia..."

This marriage was not what she expected, and being involved in the vortex of their family was beyond her control. After marrying into Liu's family, she felt ashamed, and only after giving birth to Liu Shuo did she gain any popularity. It's not much to ask for, it's just to live a stable life.

In Liu's family, even if she has no power and power, no one dares to starve her, why would she want to seize the power of the family?

Madam Huang understands Mrs. Liu's psychology best. When she heard this, she was furious and kicked Madam Wei several times, scolding: "You want to fight for power, so you think our wife likes those picky things just like you What? Our wife and young master are bothering you without arguing or grabbing, and you framed me like this!"

Mammy Wei held her head and endured silently, and when she stopped, she said: "The eldest girl didn't want to harm Master Shuo. At first, she was just upset, so she frightened Master Shuo. Later, Master Shuo would always get sick when he was frightened. Madam To take care of young master Shuo, the master will no longer mention the matter of having his wife housekeeper..."

It is precisely because of this that Lan Liu began to pretend to be a ghost to scare Liu Shuo intermittently. As long as he is better, Mrs. Liu will appear to scare him when she is free, and she will be quiet again after making their mother and son busy again No more playing tricks.

"Then why did you kill him in the end?" Mrs. Liu stared at her closely and asked, if she was just pretending to be a ghost to scare him, Brother Shuo is still young, and when Lan Liu gets married, he will naturally recover slowly, so why do you want to marry him? Kill him?

Mammy Wei lowered her eyes and said, "Master once said that he would give her the right to a mineral property in Shanxi when the eldest girl was in charge of the house, but when the eldest girl was preparing for the dowry, the master didn't mention it again. Only then did I know that the master intends to hand over the mine to Master Shuo after asking the chief steward."

Mrs. Liu sat down on the couch and stared blankly at Wei Wei, "Is it just for the management right of a mine?"

Madam Wei lowered her head.

Lan Hua couldn't help shrinking her pupils, this kind of thing is indeed something his wife can do, she has always been shrewd and capable, and helping him with business matters after entering the door can be said to be easy to handle.

Why did he trust and dote on her so much?

Not only because of her family background, her appearance, but also because of her ability!

An Jie and the others couldn't help but sigh.

The Liu family also came from an official background. Mr. Liu is a side branch of the Liu family. No one has become an official, but no one can underestimate them.

Because they know how to do business and make a lot of money.

In Dachu, minerals are state-owned. Except for the imperial court who has the right to mine, other people must obtain a permit issued by the Ministry of Households if they want to start production.

Generally, nobles and royal family members with backgrounds can get it, but Mr. Liu can get a lot of mining rights, and they can also pass them on to future generations.

One is because there was a senior official in their ancestors who was mainly in charge of this, and the mining rights were passed down from their ancestors;

Second, this branch of the Liu family has always been very knowledgeable. No matter how the court situation changes or what kind of forces the family is involved in, their branch has always followed the emperor closely, and the money that should be handed over to the household department every year will definitely be only a lot more. I would rather earn less myself than let the Ministry of Finance and the treasury lose money.

With such awareness, the emperor will not move him, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will not replace him, so as long as the family maintains this style and does not rely on power to do evil, no matter how rich and powerful three generations are, it is not a dream.

Mr. Liu said that if he gave the minerals to his daughter as a dowry, of course he did not give her the mines, but gave her the right to operate them. Then the Liu family would mine them, except those that were handed over to the state treasury, and the rest would be handed over to Lan Liu. business.

However, given the current national conditions, mining is a profitable business, and the profit is huge. Mr. Liu had three sons at that time, but Liu Shuo was the only son of his own. He was the youngest, so naturally he loved him more.

In addition, Liu Shuo can "go to hell", timid, and weak in character. As a father, Mr. Liu is even more worried about him.

Normally, the family business should be handed over to the legitimate son, but Mr. Liu really didn't think that Liu Shuo could manage the family business, and his eldest son was an adult at that time.

It would be a disaster if the disparity between the concubine and concubine was too great. Giving the family business to Liu Shuo would harm him, not love him, so Mr. Liu discussed with the eldest son and Mrs. Liu early on. , but he must have his own private property without dividing the family.

In the list made by Mr. Liu, the minerals in Shanxi are among them.

The eldest son of the concubine had no objection, and Mrs. Liu also had no objection, but she did not expect Lan Liu to have any objection.

Mrs. Liu wailed when she thought that her son was gone because of this mine, but curled up on the ground but couldn't make a sound.

Startled, Li Baolu hurried forward to hold her hand and massage her acupuncture points, hugged her and said in a low voice: "Cry out, cry out..."

But Mrs. Liu couldn't cry at all, she just opened her mouth wide and shouted silently, staring at Mammy Wei's eyes as if poisoned.

Nanny Wei lowered her head to avoid her gaze, bit her lips tightly and stopped talking.

The old lady Lan held Lan Tong's hand slightly, and said in a terrified voice: "Our Lan family actually married such a poisonous woman? Did she also design the ghost that our brother Tong saw? Does one step also kill Brother Tong?"

Nanny Wei didn't speak.

Lan Hua turned around and glanced at his son, green as iron, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go and catch Xianglian for me."

Whether it was made by the Lan Liu family, you can ask Madam Wei and Xiang Lian to find out.

The butler was terrified when he heard it outside the door, he stumbled out on his heels, and when he saw the servants who were stretching their necks to look in, he immediately bluffed his face and shouted in a low voice: "Who made you Came here? Why don’t you hurry up and stare everywhere?”

The servants were about to disperse, but the head steward seemed to have thought of something, stopped them and said, "Send a team of people to guard the second gate, and no news from the outer courtyard is allowed to spread to the inner courtyard. If you let me know who dares to gossip, I will tie up your whole family and send you to the Lan family's mine."

Everyone shivered in response and ran away one after another.

The big steward called his subordinates and said in a deep voice, "Go to the inner courtyard immediately and bring Xianglian to me. No one will ask too many questions."

"Then what if the wife must ask?" the subordinate asked timidly.

The butler was silent for a moment, and seeing the cowardice of his subordinates, he immediately kicked and said: "You are stupid, don't say too much, just say that the wife's natal family has come, and they are discussing with Liu Guan'an's family, so that the wife can take care of her with peace of mind." on."

The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to the inner courtyard to pick up people.

Poor Mrs. Lan was lying on the bed, all she knew was that her husband and mother-in-law had returned, and that her natal family had also come. She was discussing with the heads of Liu Guan'an's family, but she didn't know that all her details had been lost.

She also sneered and calculated how to get revenge afterwards. The child she had been looking forward to for three years was actually scared away by a few brats.
