Chapter 16: The Merchant Widowed After Her Husband Fakes His Death (6)

"Mother Zhang, please help me and my parents find a place to live. It's better to have a bigger one!"

Liu Qing'er called out to the door.

"Yes! Miss cousin!"

Mother Zhang responded with a hint of disdain on her face.

Is he planning to take over the family and seize power?

She came up and said that the loss of the silver was due to the servants' dirty hands! But she was also a servant, so she felt that she had stolen the old lady's silver?

Mother Zhang glanced at the room indignantly and went to arrange accommodation for the family of three.

Today, Mother Zhang not only serves the old lady, but is also the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.

As soon as Liu Qing'er arrived, she started to give her orders. She was used to being flattered by her subordinates, so she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Qing'er, now that Gu is not here, it's a good time for us to take over the Li Mansion. Why do you want someone to call Gu back?"

Liu's mother asked doubtfully.

"Mother, there is nothing in the Li Mansion now. What's the point of us taking over an empty shell? Wait for Gu to come back and let her go find her dowry, and then we can take over properly!"

Liu Qing'er explained while touching her belly.

"But, what if we can't get it back?"

"It's impossible for such a good thing to fly away like this! When Gu comes back, just ask her to report to the police! If she really can't be found, doesn't she still own half of the shops in the capital? As long as she comes back, I can find a way to make those shops belong to the Liu family!"

Liu Qing'er smiled ostentatiously, "Dad, Mom, our good days are yet to come!"

……

That night, the people sent by Gu's father arrived at Xishan Pudu Temple first.

"Miss, the master asked me to ask you when you plan to go back. He has sent people to take over your dowry shop and manor. Today, the old lady of the Li Mansion went to Jinxiufang and made a scene, but she didn't get any advantage."

The person who came to report was a clever servant. He bowed his head and asked Su Li respectfully, "Later, the people in the Li Mansion went everywhere to look for doctors. They heard that the old lady of the Li family was sick, and later they bought many expensive supplements on credit."

"Oh? Did you buy it on credit from our shop?"

Su Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No! The master has already ordered that the Gu family's shop does not accept credit, so they went to other people's shops to buy on credit, and put it in your name."

"Well, tell Dad to tell the shop owners that I didn't go out in person. I won't take any responsibility. Let them find the real culprit!"

"Yes, young lady! The master asked me to ask you when you will return to the capital."

"Don't worry, the scenery of this Pudu Temple is nice. I plan to stay for a few more days before going back."

Su Li smiled and said, "Just let my father take care of the things in the capital."

"Okay, young lady! The master also guessed that you might stay for a few more days this time, so he asked me to bring you a lot of things. I hope you have fun here."

"Ah."

Afterwards, not long after the servant of the Gu family left, the servant of the Li family also came.

"Young Madam, something happened at home! The old lady asked you to go back quickly!"

The servant even forgot to greet him and spoke directly to Su Li when he saw him.

"What could possibly happen at home? I have already promised Master Zhiren that I would pay my respects for seven days, and it has only been two days! Tell the old lady that she will make the decisions on all matters at home!"

Su Li waved his hand and said.

"But your..."

The servant wanted to say that her dowry was stolen, but Su Li stopped her before she could say anything.

"I said, no matter what happens, the old lady will make the decision. I still need five days here, and I will naturally go back after five days! You go back first!"

Su Li waved his hand impatiently and sent him away.

Five days, is that enough time for the Li Mansion to fall into chaos?

After the Li family's servant left, Su Li continued to drink tea leisurely.

Li House.

"What? My sister's dowry is still not found? What a bunch of useless bastards, they must have embezzled!"

After hearing Zhang Mama's report, Liu Qing'er cursed angrily.

"Cousin, they have been digging for a whole day and really found nothing..."

"Okay, I got it! Go make some medicine for my aunt! And those useless servants can just be sent to a pharmacy! Dad, let's go and look for them ourselves. I don't believe that the dowry has really run away!"

Liu Qing'er held the empty bowl of Four-Happiness Ginseng Soup in her hand and spoke to her father who was eating heartily.

They were having dinner at the moment, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, including delicacies from land and sea.

"Qing'er, don't be anxious, let Dad eat first. We didn't have this much food back home!"

Father Liu's mouth was full of oil as he ate. He also tore off a chicken leg from the table and started chewing on it.

"Dad! We will have a long time to live like this! Our first priority is to find my sister's dowry!"

She glanced at Father Liu and spoke softly.

Father Liu understood instantly. The things had been stolen anyway. If they only recovered half or 30%, was there nothing they could do?

"Okay, Dad will go find it right away!"

He nodded, ate the chicken leg, and walked out.

Mother Zhang couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw that the Liu couple looked like they had never eaten good food in their lives.

Since the old lady was in a coma, the Li Mansion was truly under the control of the Liu family.

But she could only do as Liu Qing'er said and find a pawnbroker to sell the servants in the mansion first.

There is no money in the mansion now, and there are dozens of mouths waiting to be fed. It would be good to sell some of the money!

The servants in the Li Mansion lived a comfortable life when Gu Suyun was in charge.

Now, she had just been away from home for two days, and they had already ended up being sold out. They couldn't help but curse the old lady and the three members of the Liu family.

Some of them who had bad tempers directly picked up sticks and started to resist!

"How dare you! Your indentures are all here. Do you intend to be beheaded as traitors?"

Mother Zhang, who was in contact with the head of the pawnbroker business, shouted angrily at the servants who were gathered together.

Looking at the indenture in Zhang Mama's hand, one of the brave servants said, "Everyone, come together and take back our indentures. Then we will be free!"

"Yes, take it back!"

The servants of the Li Mansion rushed forward, tied up the head of the pawnbroker and Mother Zhang who came to buy people, and threw them into the woodshed.

They stole her indenture contract and also stole some valuable things from Li's mansion.

For example, the host’s clothes, bedding, etc.

Anyone who resisted was tied up and thrown into the firewood room of Li's mansion!

In Mrs. Li's room.

A servant approached Li's bed cautiously. This was a maid who had always served Li.

Originally, she was not among those being sold, but she was from the same hometown as one of the people being sold. After getting her indenture, she also began to think about leaving.

Who doesn't love freedom?

Who is willing to work like a slave for others all their life?
