I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru had been standing outside the courtyard without anyone noticing, and was now staring sternly in the direction of Lord Lu and the others.

Lord Lu looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw who it was, he felt like the sky was falling.

Just now, when he led his subordinates to search, many things in the Liu Mansion were broken.

Lord Lu took out a towel, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked Liu Yueru: "You, why are you here? You are not..."

Before he could finish his words, Lord Lu realized that he had said the wrong thing. He forced a smile and said, "This is a misunderstanding. Since Madam Liu is in the mansion and no one in the Liu Mansion has escaped privately late at night, we will not disturb her."

Say it.

Lord Lu is about to take his men away.

Liu Fufeng's tall figure blocked his way, and he said in a low and angry voice: "Wait, our accounts have not been settled yet."

He pointed at the destroyed things and said to Lord Lu: "Didn't you smash them vigorously just now? I tell you, if you fail to compensate for one of these things today, no one will be able to leave this Liu Mansion!"

Lord Lu was completely panicked now.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Compensation, if it is damaged, you must compensate. Please count the silver and we will compensate you one by one."

While they were searching, Liu Zimo had his servants follow behind them silently and take note of everything they had broken, from broken objects to small bumps on stools.

Hearing what Lord Lu said, Liu Zimo reached out his hand to the servant.

The servant immediately handed over the record book and said, "Second Master, these are the things that were just damaged by Lord Lu and his men. I calculated that the total loss is three hundred taels. In addition to the mess, the cost of these personnel losses is about thirty taels. If Lord Lu is willing to put those things back to their original state, the second master can reduce this fee as appropriate."

"What?" Lord Lu made a sharp sound after hearing this, and then questioned: "What is so valuable in your Liu Mansion? It asks for more than three hundred taels of silver, why don't you just rob it?"

He said he was unwilling to pay the money no matter what.

"In that case, let's report this to the emperor. Lord Lu is a member of the Dali Temple. He broke the law knowingly, which is a serious crime! Let the emperor investigate who is behind the accusation against our Liu Mansion and clear the name of the Liu Mansion."

Liu Zimo said this and was about to walk outside.

Lord Lu was also panicking at this time, and hurriedly said: "Compensation, I will compensate, but we will take care of the thirty taels ourselves, this does not count."

He agreed reluctantly, but his heart was bleeding. He originally thought he could get a bargain, but now he suffered heavy losses.

"Then please come in!" Liu Zimo looked at Lord Lu with a smile and made a gesture of invitation to him.

Lord Lu angrily kicked his subordinates fiercely and said, "Why don't you go now? Who told you to destroy things in Liu's mansion?"

Those subordinates were all dejected and did not dare to look at Lord Lu. They followed the servants to the courtyards and restored everything to its original state according to the instructions of the servants of the Liu Mansion.

Lord Lu collected silver from everyone, but after all they managed, they could only gather fifty taels. Lord Lu got so angry that he kicked them again.

He cursed and muttered, "What kind of life are you all leading? Your wallet is cleaner than your face. You can't even get three hundred taels together, and you still dare to throw things at me here!"

"Sir, this is clearly what you said." One of them complained aggrievedly.

Lord Lu was so angry that his liver hurt. He glared at the other person fiercely and said, "You made a mistake and you dare to yell at me. I will skin you alive when I get back!"

The man shrank his neck when he heard that.

Lord Lu then managed to force a smile and said to Liu Zimo, "I have tried my best. This is all the money you have. I will owe you the rest first. You can pay me back when you have more money."

Liu Yueru smiled and took out a set of four treasures of the study and put them aside. "Then Lord Lu, please write clearly when to pay it back and how much you owe. Our Liu Mansion is not as good as before. Everyone is under house arrest in the mansion, and they still rely on this money to eat."

Lord Lu's eyes fell on the table, and his face turned black and white, white and red, changing very quickly.

But in the end, he compromised and wrote the IOU himself on rice paper.

It said that the Liu family was owed two hundred and fifty taels of silver, which must be returned in full within one month at the latest.

Only then did Liu Yueru pick up the IOU with satisfaction and signaled Liu Zhengcang to keep it.

At this time, Lord Lu walked outside angrily. When he reached the threshold, he accidentally tripped over it and fell on his back.

Everyone suppressed their laughter.

After those people left.

Xie Jingrui then appeared from the darkness.

Liu Zimo walked forward and took Liu Yueru to look her up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, he asked with concern: "Why did you take so long to come back? Have you been...?"

Liu Yueru shook her head. "When the secret guards sent me to Yihong Courtyard, we felt something was wrong, so I exchanged clothes with a secret guard who had a similar figure. The secret guard put on the same makeup as me and went in my place."

Liu Yueru glanced in the direction of Xie Jingrui and said, "We came back late because we wanted to save the secret guard."

"I didn't expect Zhao Wanyan to have made several preparations. She wanted to capture our Liu Mansion in one fell swoop."

Gu Zhengtang explained, "She has been sent to the prince's dungeon."

Xie Jingrui was a little puzzled. She had spent so much effort to set up such a plan, so how could she be willing to give up so quickly?

"Is there some trick going on?" Xie Jingrui asked doubtfully.

"The condition is that the prince must release Yun'er and send her out of Kyoto." Liu Zhengtang told Xie Jingrui about Zhao Wanyan's request.

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly; "It's getting late, you should rest first."

It was now late at night, and everyone felt a little tired, so they all returned to their respective courtyards.

Dai was imprisoned back in the ancestral hall.

She was anxiously trying to guess Liu Fufeng's expression.

Seeing that he did not show any anger towards her, she felt relieved, thinking that Zhao Wanyan should not have told Liu Fufeng about her affairs.

Liu Fufeng thought about the things that happened between him and Dai in the past. He turned his head to look at Liu Mubai who was holding his arm and refused to let go.

He still felt that Liu Mubai was his own child. That little face looked like they were carved from the same mold as Liu Yueru's when she was a child.

Liu Fufeng stroked Liu Mubai's hair reluctantly.

Liu Mubai's hands suddenly tightened, and he said with a hint of tears, "Daddy, don't go. Mumu, be good and don't make Daddy angry..."

"Silly girl, daddy is not going anywhere." Liu Fufeng whispered in Liu Mubai's ear to comfort her.

Wait until she falls asleep.

Liu Fufeng then stood up and walked to the desk in the room, slowly grinding ink, looking at Liu Mubai on the bed for a long time, then picked up the pen and wrote on the rice paper...
