Chapter 18: The Merchant Widowed After Her Husband Fakes His Death (8)

"Qing'er, why?"

Father Liu frowned.

"Gu will come back eventually. If we pawn the last bit of her stuff, she will definitely come back to the Gu family without even looking back!"

Liu Qing'er analyzed, "Now we are still waiting for her to come back and continue to live a life of luxury, but we can't let her know that we touched her last bit of dowry. The previous dowry was taken away by those servants, and it has nothing to do with us anyway."

"Well, if that's the case, we can only sell it..."

Father Liu looked at the concubines of the Li family's first and second wives.

"Uncle, for people like us, there is no dowry or anything like that. We rely on the old lady's subsidy to live a stable life."

The concubines hugged their children and spoke carefully.

If they had any property, they would have left long ago just like the eldest and second young masters' wives.

Even the servants don't want to stay in this mansion, let alone them!

"Well, then I can only sell my sister's dowry first!"

Father Liu looked around the room and said, "Let's find the title deed of this house first. This house is my sister's last house. Before Gu married into the family, my sister sold all her dowry and only had this house left. If Gu doesn't come back, this house will be our support!"

He looked at everyone and took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his arms, "This is what my sister gave me a few days ago. Let's go buy a coffin first!"

"father!"

Liu Qing'er covered her stomach and frowned, "We haven't eaten for a day, and your grandson is hungry! Aunt is gone, it doesn't matter if we do it earlier or later! We still have to take care of our living people first!"

"Fine!"

Father Liu took a look at Li's body on the ground, found a door panel to place her on, and went out to buy food.

As for why he had to go out, it was mainly because all the rice, flour and other things in the kitchen were taken away by the servants last night!

Not even pots, pans, kitchen knives or anything like that was left for them.

If the furniture in the Li Mansion wasn't so bulky, the servants would probably have taken the furniture away with them.

Just when Liu's father went out to buy things.

Xishan Pudu Temple.

"My dear girl, are you going to stay like this?"

It is said that Master Gu, who had gone on a long journey, sat in front of Su Li, looking at her leisurely lying on the recliner in the yard, and asked softly, "The Li Mansion is in a mess now!"

He looked at Su Li and said, "And I heard that Li Yi is not dead at all, but has been faking his death and hiding in his uncle's house, and is living with his cousin."

"Well, Dad, when you have time, spread the word about this matter in the capital. It would be best if everyone knows about it."

Su Li smiled and nodded.

"Daughter, it looks like you already know it?"

Father Gu looked at her and asked with a confident look on her face.

"Why else do you think my daughter suddenly changed her attitude? After Li Yi faked his death, he and his cousin became a couple, but he asked me to serve his mother and the orphans of his two brothers in the Li family. Why?"

Su Li's face was calm, "Our Gu family doesn't owe the Li family anything! Old Madam Li knew that her youngest son only had his cousin in his heart, and it was because she was attracted by our huge fortune that she let her son marry me!"

"Ah, to be honest, I'm sorry for you. When I heard that it was the General's Mansion, I thought you would have no worries for the rest of your life. I didn't expect..."

"Dad, let's forget about it! When this is over, how about I find a way for you to become a powerful person yourself?"

Su Li smiled.

"Ah, I was just too impulsive at the beginning. Now I think that wealth and power are nothing but clouds. I just hope you can find a good man in this life and live a good life!"

Father Gu sighed and said.

"Dad, after this, I don't plan to marry again. I plan to stay with you for the rest of my life, okay?"

Su Li smiled.

She was here to complete a mission, not to fall in love.

The original incarnation had served Li all his life, taking care of his own father until his death, and had a kind heart.

Now I will honor her father on her behalf, I think the original body will feel at ease.

"Okay. Then Dad will go and arrange for Li Yi to fake his death."

Father Gu knew that she was in a bad mood and might have come to Pudu Temple in Xishan because she knew about Li Yi's fake death, so he didn't say anything more.

Su Li looked at Gu's father leaving, shook his head and chuckled.

She killed Li Yi and used illusions to scare the three members of the Liu family, forcing them to return to the Li Mansion.

However, she did not expect that Liu Qing'er was so powerful. Before she even returned home, she had messed up the Li Mansion and even killed Mrs. Li.

This way, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

In this way, at least the original body will not have to bear the accusation of being unfilial to parents-in-law!

Now, the Li Mansion is just an empty shell. Let them stay comfortable for two more days!

It was two days later that Su Li returned to Li's Mansion.

The moment she entered Li's Mansion, there was disbelief on her face.

Of course, this was an expression she made on purpose.

Today, the courtyard of the Li Mansion is in a mess, with scattered items everywhere and the bluestone floor is covered with dust.

He pushed open the door in shock and looked carefully at the plaque on the door of Li's Mansion, as if he might have come to the wrong place.

The old man selling food next door saw Su Li's appearance and called out, "Madam, are you back from burning incense?"

Su Li looked at him in confusion, "Uncle, am I in the wrong place? Is this the Li Residence?"

"Hey, yes, this is the Li Mansion!"

The old man sighed.

"I've only been away for a few days, how come it became like this?"

Su Li asked in pretended shock.

"Well, we don't know the details, but it seems that a cousin came and wanted to sell off the servants in the mansion, and then those servants stole things and ran away with their indentures."

The old man sighed, "I heard that your mother-in-law, Madam Li, passed away in this turmoil, but the strange thing is that it has been two or three days, and there is no movement for the funeral in the Li Mansion."

"What? My mother is gone?"

Su Li had a sad face and her body was shaking, as if she was about to faint at any time.

"Young Madam, you have to hold on. The Li family, young and old, are waiting for you to take charge!"

The master hurriedly comforted her, "By the way, there is a rumor in the capital that your husband is not dead, but is hidden by that cousin. You can go and ask him. If he is still alive, you have finally gotten your wish!"

"Okay, thank you, old man."

Su Li smiled at him.

However, just as she was about to step back into the mansion, a voice called out from not far away, "Young Madam, please stay!"

It turned out that the shop owners had sent servants to guard the door of Li's house. As soon as Su Li came back, the debt collectors came to the door.
