As Ming Yi left, the sound of a chessboard falling to the ground was heard from the room. It was obvious that the person in the room was not as cold as his voice suggested.

"Are you angry already? Shouldn't you have known this would be the outcome?"

Another voice was heard in the room again.

"Speak up."

The cold voice was filled with endless anger.

"Don't think I dare not touch you. If you dare to say one more word, I will break your neck."

The other voice was not afraid of the other party's threat at all, and sneered: "You dare to speak nonsense in front of me, if you have the guts, you can show up in front of that person? What's the point of just sulking here and getting angry with me?"

"roll……"

"If you tell me to leave, I'll leave. How embarrassing would that be?"

Another voice sounded again.

"Have you ever thought about why she would rather stay in the Marquis' Mansion than find another way out for herself?"

"What do you mean?"

The voice became cold again.

"I mean because she had no other choice."

"As long as she gets a divorce, it's better than staying in that marquis' mansion..."

"With the Queen Mother and the Emperor pressuring her, she has no way of getting a divorce. Even if she becomes a widow, she can't remarry."

"Humph!"

The cold voice snorted heavily, showing his dissatisfaction.

"If you want to set her free, you must first remove the two mountains above her head..."

The cold voice naturally knew who the other party was talking about, and said firmly: "This is impossible."

"Then you can only watch her continue to stay in that house."

"I'm sure I can think of another way."

"I hope you don't wait until you are old and ugly to come up with a solution. By then, you don't need to come up with a solution. The two mountains pressing on her head will have been removed. Wouldn't it be better for her to be the ancestor of the Marquisate?"

After he finished speaking, the sound of something heavy falling was heard from the rear window, followed by another sound coming from a farther place.

"I'm telling the truth. A woman's youth only lasts a few years. If you need anything, just tell me. For the sake of our friendship, I will definitely help you as long as you ask."

"roll."

The cold voice has returned to calm, but the tone of speech is still unfriendly. The other party doesn't care and his footsteps are getting farther and farther away. It is obvious that the person has left.

"Someone is coming."

As the man left, a cold voice called out softly.

As the man's voice fell, a guard quickly appeared at the door.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Have someone clean up the house."

After that, there was no sound in the room. The guard waited at the door for a while before pushing it open and entering. At this time, there was no one in the room.

The guard was not surprised at all. He just calmly picked up all the scattered chess pieces on the floor, carefully cleaned the room, and left.

Liu Tianshu didn't know anything about the courtyard, she didn't even know Ming Yi had left.

In her previous life, there was no such person as Ming Yi by her side, so she naturally had to be on guard against this unexpected event in this life.

Just then, Aoyama Kanxue walked in from outside.

"You guys are back, how is Biyu injured?"

Qingshan replied respectfully: "There are many cuts on both legs and palms caused by broken porcelain pieces. Although they look serious, they are actually just superficial injuries."

"That's good."

Liu Tianshu said calmly: "Remember to tell the doctor to use the best medicine to treat her."

"Miss, the indenture of Jade is in the hands of Aunt Liu. We absolutely dare not betray Aunt Liu. There is really no need for us to pay too much for her."

He gently tapped Qingshan's head with his finger.

"I just treated some of her skin injuries. I never thought of asking her to betray Aunt Liu. I just planted the seeds in her and Bihe's hearts."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu didn't say anything else and just sat there quietly.

"Miss, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Are we really not going to use ice?"

Liu Tianshu shook her head slightly.

"It is the hottest time of the year now, and it is time to use ice. As soon as the ice cellar is opened, some ice will be delivered to the courtyards of all the people in the mansion.

There is so much ice needed for the banquet. If no one is willing to pay for it, I will have to use my own dowry to make up for it.

I don’t mind the ice money, but I don’t want to let other people in the house get it for free.”

At this point, Liu Tianshu said to Mother Zheng beside her: "Nanny, don't we have a few iced watermelons in the yard? Cut them up and give them to everyone in the yard to cool down."

"Miss, there are not many iced watermelons, and I need to save some to cool you down..."

"I'm not that hypocritical." Liu Tianshu said indifferently: "Everyone follow me to suffer. In addition to watermelons, starting from tomorrow, we will put other edible fruits in the well to cool down a little to relieve the heat for everyone."

"Yes!"

Mother Zheng agreed respectfully and turned around to make arrangements. After a short while, she came back with a plate of chilled watermelon.

With the watermelon, Liu Tianshu invited Qingshan Guanxue and Zheng's mother to eat together.

These days, whenever there is iced watermelon, Liu Tianshu invites everyone to eat it together, and Mother Zheng and the other two are no longer reserved.

He gave Liu Tianshu the biggest and sweetest piece, and the three of them started eating together.

The plate for watermelon was not big, just enough to hold four pieces of watermelon. One piece for each person, and the plate was empty soon.

As the cool watermelon flesh entered their mouths, all the heat disappeared. Qingshan stood aside and fanned Liu Tianshu, while Guanxue took the empty plate with the watermelon rind and left.

"Qingshan, there will definitely be people who will lose their patience. Have someone monitor the reactions of the various courtyards. Once the old lady reacts, we can wait for an opportunity to act."

"Yes!"

Qingshan agreed respectfully and turned around to make arrangements.

"Miss, it's just a little ice. There's no need to be too picky."

After Qingshan left, Mother Zheng said distressedly: "Miss, look how long it has been, and your clothes are getting wet with sweat again..."

After saying that, Mother Zheng walked to the window and looked at the blue sky.

"It's so hot this time. I wish it would rain someday."

"rain?"

When Liu Tianshu heard what Mother Zheng said, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Mother Zheng, how much money do we have now?"

"Miss, are you finally going to stop putting yourself in such a difficult position? Don't worry, we still have money to buy ice cream..."

Before Mother Zheng finished her words, Liu Tianshu smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I thought of a very profitable business, and wanted to calculate how much money we have and how big a business we can do..."

When she heard about the profitable business, Zheng's mother's eyes also lit up.

"Miss, we have 23,782 taels of cash now. If you need it, we can still ask the master and his wife for help..."

Before Mother Zheng finished her words, Liu Tianshu interrupted with a frown, "Nanny, I want to do this business by myself. Not only can my parents not know about it, but no one else can know about it except us..."
