Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Chapter 123 Hidden

When Liu Yanyan thought of Gu Beichen, she thought of her helplessness and despair during childbirth, the basins of blood, and the fact that she had a son who never got to see this world. She felt an unbearable bitterness in her heart, and she couldn't suppress her hatred for him. She wished she could kill him right away.

Liu Yanyan let out a long sigh, drank the cold tea at hand, forced herself to calm down, and muttered to herself, "I can't kill him now. The time for the divorce is too short. It will be troublesome if someone finds out. I can't kill him now." But the urge to kill became more and more intense.

Liu Yanyan looked at the inkstone at hand indifferently, picked up the ink stick and ground it bit by bit, grinding it in circles. Looking at the circles of patterns, the murderous intent in her heart was suppressed.

He picked up the cold food with chopsticks and ate it bite by bite. After finishing half a bowl, he put down his chopsticks. He had no appetite anymore. He put the bowl and chopsticks aside and waited for Liu Wu to come back and clean up.

Soon Liu Wu knocked on the door, "Miss, I'm back."

Liu Yanyan said, "Come in."

Liu Wu then pushed open the door and entered the house, closing it, turning around and bowing, "Greetings to the young lady. Meilan and Zhuju are now hiding in the yard they bought before, and they dare not go out, for fear that Gu Beichen will go crazy and take them back."

Liu Yanyan nodded. "It's good that they weren't caught. Gu Beichen doesn't have their indentures, so it's not easy to sell them. Wait a month and they'll be out."

Liu Wu: "Yes, miss, I have already told them to hide well and gave them a few taels of silver for their safety."

Liu Yanyan said, "Go back to find Butler Liu to claim the reward. I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring any money with me."

Liu Wu said excitedly, "Thank you, Miss, for your reward." Then he withdrew.

Liu Yanyan watched Liu Wu leave, wondering how Gu Beichen would repay his debt, whether by selling himself, or selling his mother, or selling the pregnant Lin Rou. Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Duke's Mansion in the Evening

Liu Yanyan had just been helped down from the carriage by Yuzhu when she saw her father waiting outside. "Daddy, why are you outside?"

Duke Liu looked at Nannan nervously before saying, "Isn't this because he's worried about you and afraid that you'll suffer a loss?"

Liu Yanyan chuckled and said, "Daddy, you worry too much. As for Gu Beichen, how could I suffer a loss? With Liu Wu and Liu Liu guarding me, he can't get close to me. But I was still surprised when he sued me today."

Duke Liu sighed and walked inside. "Gu Beichen must be crazy because of poverty! You spent so much money in the General's Mansion, and he dared to ask you to pay it back."

As Liu Yanyan walked inside, she comforted him, "Dad, don't be angry. Uncle Liu asked him to write an IOU. If he doesn't pay it back in a month, I will make him fall into the underworld."

Duke Liu's eyes were filled with distress. "Okay, I'll deal with him in a month." Really, a cripple dares to cause trouble for the Duke's Mansion.

Liu Yanyan said soothingly, "Don't think about it, Daddy. Why think so much? Let's go back and have dinner first!"

Duke Liu smiled and said, "Go back and have dinner. Your uncle Liu prepared some good food today."

"Okay." As they were talking, the two of them came to the main hall.

Duke Liu walked to the table and drank tea.

Liu Yanyan went to the side hall, took the towel handed to her by Yuzhu, washed her face and hands, and put the towel into the water. "Who told Dad about what happened today? Doesn't this make him worried?"

Yuzhu lowered her head and said, "Miss, when the yamen runners came to call for people, the master happened to come back and saw them. He was afraid that someone would say that the Duke's Mansion was bullying people, so he didn't go with them. Butler Liu told everything as soon as he came back."

Liu Yanyan sighed and said, "Forget it, now you know it. I didn't want to tell Dad in order to prevent him from worrying." After saying that, she took the silk handed to her by Yuzhen, wiped the water droplets on her hands, and walked out.

When we reached the table, several servants had already brought today's meal.

Liu Yanyan looked at a bowl of meatballs and said, "Daddy, let's have meatball vermicelli soup today! Let me try it."

Duke Liu smiled and scooped up a few meatballs, put a bowl of soup next to Nannan and said, "Nannan, these are not ordinary meatballs, they are the king of beasts. Try them and see how they taste."

Liu Yanyan looked at her father Xiyi's eyes, took the bowl, scooped a meatball with a spoon, tasted it, smiled and nodded, and said, "It's delicious. Daddy, you should eat more to replenish your body." After that, she put down the spoon.

Duke Liu nodded, took the meatballs handed to him by Butler Liu, and ate them in big mouthfuls, "Nannan, eat whatever you like. Daddy won't force you."

Liu Yanyan nodded and ate the bamboo shoots and cabbage that Yuzhu picked for her in small bites. After she was full, she saw her father still eating with big mouthfuls, and finally curled her lips.

After eating, Duke Liu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and threw it to Butler Liu. "Nannan, if you have any problems, just tell Daddy. Daddy will protect you. As for that kid Gu Beichen, I will find a way to get him out of the capital and find someone to kill him."

Liu Yanyan waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Dad, there's no need to bother. He owes money to the gambling house, so he will definitely do whatever it takes to get the money back. We don't need to do anything."

"What if he still goes?"

"He has paid it back. In a month, let Butler Liu take people to collect the debt. If he can't collect it, just take him into slavery. You can do whatever you want to him in the future."

Duke Liu nodded and said, "Nannan is very thoughtful, but a month is a bit long. What if he runs away? After all, he was a general."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "I was careless. Send a few people to keep an eye on him."

Duke Liu nodded and said, "Okay, Daddy will arrange for someone to go, you don't have to worry about it. In the future, don't leave a way out for others to avoid trouble."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Daddy, Nannan knows. I won't do it again. It's great to have you around."

Duke Liu smiled and said, "You are still young. You will understand more when you encounter more things in the future. Go back and have a rest! Daddy will go and clean up for you."

Liu Yanyan stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Dad. I will go back first."

"Go back."

Only then did Liu Yanyan take Yuzhu, Yuzhen and others towards Cuizhuxuan.

As soon as Liu Yanyan returned to the room, she sat upright on a chair and said to Yuzhu, "Go make a pot of hot tea."

"Okay, miss. I'll go right away."

Liu Yanyan watched Yuzhen walk away before her face darkened. She thought about what her father had just said. One month was indeed too long. If he ran away, he could find a way to get to the border. With his original identity, he could still make a living.

If I had better luck, I would have obtained the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and my injuries would have been healed. I'm afraid there would be endless troubles in the future! I was too careless, and one month was indeed too long, alas (?o﹏o?).

The current situation must not happen again in the future. If we want to fight, we must cut the weeds and root them out, leaving no future troubles.

After Yuzhu poured the tea, Liu Yanyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and went to bed after thinking it through.
