Chapter 156: Staying in the Villa for a Few Days
Every time the two of them talked, it was like practicing Tai Chi. Master Chen San would always pass the words back to Zhang Lianci in a roundabout way. Anyway, it was impossible for him to call for help.
Seeing that he was determined not to call his concubine out, Zhang Lianci could not really have people search the Chen Mansion's villa. Mr. Chen Sanye had the royal family behind him. If he openly fought with the Chen family, not only would he get into trouble, but he might also anger them. If he destroyed the imperial edict, it would be a loss.
He didn't know that his life-saving Buddha statue had been burned.
Zhang Lianci was frustrated and stopped beating around the bush. He asked directly, "Master Chen, my concubine came to visit my house today, but she brought back something of mine. Master Chen, please ask her to hand it over. I can forgive her for your sake."
In this case, Mr. Chen San would certainly not admit it: "Master Prime Minister, this is a joke. People in my Chen Mansion have always valued face. She went out today, but she only had a plate of orchids given by a good friend. How could she have taken the things of Master Prime Minister?"
The obvious implication is that if you have the nerve to say that the orchid given by a friend is yours, then you are really shameless.
Ignoring Zhang Lianci's furious look, Master Chen San continued, "Besides, I have been staying with her since she came back. If she really took something from the Prime Minister, there is no way I didn't see it."
"You really don't plan to give it back to me?"
"How can I return it if I didn't have it?" Uncle Chen spread his hands, firmly denying it.
In the end, Zhang Lianci could only leave angrily.
But before he left, he secretly left half of his people hiding around. As long as there was an opportunity, they would obey orders and take Liu Yu away at all costs, and force him to tell the whereabouts of the things.
Liu Yu was getting really anxious waiting inside, but there was no news coming from the door. She stood up and walked towards the gate of the villa despite the obstruction of Gu Yukui, her mother-in-law and others.
She happened to meet Mr. Chen San, who had just sent Zhang Lianci away. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she felt relieved.
"Where is Zhang Lian's resignation?"
"Let's go." Mr. Chen San said calmly.
Liu Yu had a new understanding of his ability, but she asked doubtfully: "How could he leave so easily? How did you make him leave?"
Seeing her curious look, Mr. Chen San was about to say something, but he kept it a secret: "Yu'er, do you want to know?" He stretched out his hand towards her and raised his chin.
Liu Yu saw through his thoughts at a glance. Under the gaze of Mr. Chen Sanye, she walked towards him step by step. Just when she was about to touch him, she suddenly brushed past him and walked away.
Mr. Chen's smile froze on his face. After he realized what was happening, he quickly caught up with her, then stopped her and reached out his hand again: "Yu'er, hold my hand."
Liu Yu couldn't suppress the smile anymore and revealed a bright smile.
This time, she did not reject him and put her hand into his big palm.
The moment he held her hand, they changed their direction. Liu Yu looked at him puzzledly: "Aren't you going back?"
Master Chen San nodded and said, "We're not going back. Zhang Lianci has left a lot of people outside. How about we stay here for a few days before someone comes to pick us up?"
Liu Yu was a person who valued her life very much. It was impossible for her to go to a dangerous place knowing that there was danger. She agreed without much consideration.
The two returned to the Qinyuan Residence where Liu Yu had come from. The steward was leading the servants to clean up. Liu Yu glanced around the courtyard and asked in surprise:
"No one lives in this yard, so why did you restore it to its original appearance?" She moved a lot of things away before she left, and she didn't know when the yard was filled up again, almost exactly the same as if she had not been to the Chen Mansion.
"Yeah." Uncle Chen nodded: "We are back to live here again!"
All right! So this was his idea, but he was very thoughtful. If he hadn't arranged it in advance, they might not be able to stay at Qinyuanju tonight.
Soon Qinyuanju was cleaned spotlessly, and the stewards led everyone out. Liu Yu came to the house where she used to live, which reminded her of the time she spent lying down here. Except for the occasional letters from Qiu, she was really happy.
Compared with the current days of fear and anxiety, she seemed to miss the time in this villa more. Liu Yu sighed, but she knew in her heart that if she wanted to protect the people she cared about, she had to do what she was doing now. Only in this way could she truly live a peaceful life in the future, and lying down also requires capital.
Mr. Chen San sat down opposite Liu Yu, and seeing the nostalgia on her face, he thought that she liked this place. He made a secret note in his heart that he would bring her here more often in the future.
Liu Yu poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them and asked about the person who would come to pick them up, "Third Master, you just said that we would wait for someone to pick us up. Who will come to pick us up?"
Mr. Chen San mentioned someone she expected, Marquis Yuzhang.
"What about the others? Why can't they come now?" Liu Yu asked the question that he couldn't understand.
Judging from his previous tone, it seemed that Marquis Yuzhang was troubled by something, and the situation in the capital was turbulent. Although the Chen Mansion was appreciated by the royal family, the royal family was obviously dying. At this time, whether as a cabinet elder or the backbone of the Chen family, they should stay in the capital.
But it seemed that Mr. Chen San was obviously not in a hurry and was really prepared to stay here with her for a few days. On normal days, she wouldn't think too much about it, but at this moment, she couldn't help but think too much.
Since she saved him last time with only two or three available people, Mr. Chen San knew that his Yu'er was very smart. Even if she guessed what Marquis Yuzhang had done, she would not be surprised.
"Yuer, guess what." Mr. Chen San said with a smile.
Liu Yu almost blurted out: "Is something going to happen in the capital?"
Master Chen San took a sip of tea and nodded: "If my prediction is correct, someone is going to take action against the royal family." He talked about the abnormalities he found in the palace in recent days.
"Did the family know about that day?"
Mr. Chen San was silent. He had reminded him before.
Liu Yu understood, and looking at Master Chen San in front of him, he seemed to have made up his mind, and asked seriously: "Master San, can I ask you a question?"
Mr. Chen San nodded: "Yu'er, please speak."
"The emperor is old, I'm just saying what if something happens to him! If something happens to the emperor, who do you care about the most?"
This question was very obscure, and he wouldn't tell it even to his mother, but his Yu'er was smart, so he decided to tell her.
But before he said that, Mr. Chen San asked Liu Yu first: "Yuer, which of the princes do you think is the most likely?" As soon as he finished asking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yu into his arms.
