Liu Xinyue and Cai He who were heading out of the house again, although they met some incomparably passionate villagers, this time Liu Xinyue did not accept their good intentions and kindly rejected them.
After that, Liu Xinyue and Cai He went straight to the old house.
Because the old house was located in the center of the village, and the village chief's house was located in the most remote area of the village, near the foot of the mountain, it took Liu Xinyue and Cai He quite a bit of time to walk to the old house.
From a distance, Liu Xinyue could already see the grand courtyard house, it was completely out of place in the village.
"Master, we're here." Cai He thought that Liu Xinyue had never seen the old mansion, so he reminded her.
Liu Xinyue nodded and did not say anything.
This old house was a big house with blue bricks and red tiles. At the entrance of the house, there was a plaque with the word "Liu Residence" written in large, hot golden characters. It looked very majestic.
"This is the old dwelling of the Liu Family."
Liu Xinyue stopped at the entrance of the old house and stood at the entrance looking at the plaque. He could not help but wonder what kind of feeling he would have if his original body had personally come here.
However, Liu Xinyue felt that the Liu Family Mansion had a lot of prestige in the Dingshan Village. Even though the villagers were very friendly and kind to her, if the one who came today was not her but Liu Minshan, it would not be like this.
"Liu Minshan..."
Liu Minshan was Liu Xinyue's nominal father, but in reality, because of his loathing for her, he had never truly been a father one day, much less fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a father.
In the end, because of various reasons, the original body accidentally died, and this was indirectly related to Liu Minshan.
If Liu Xinyue wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Estate, even if she was not favored, Liu Minshan would not agree to this request, because it would be a form of humiliation for him.
Therefore, if he wanted to truly separate himself from the Prime Minister's Estate, and draw a clear line between him and them, then the first thing Liu Xinyue had to do was to make Liu Minshan willingly agree, or even make him decide whether he wanted to expel Liu Xinyue from the Prime Minister's Estate. Then, Liu Xinyue would need to rely on himself and accumulate his own strength.
"Mistress, what's wrong with the old master?" Cai He who was at the side could not help but ask after hearing what Liu Xinyue said.
"It's nothing. It's just that when I looked at the house, I suddenly remember that I haven't seen my father for a long time."
Hearing that, Liu Xinyue shook his head and said casually.
Speaking of which, that was indeed the case. Since Liu Xinyue had arrived at this place, she had never seen Liu Minshan nor heard of his return. She did not know whether he was out of the Palace regularly or just recently.
"Mistress, Master has not spent the night in the mansion for a long time, and unless it's necessary, unless it's the court, Master will always stay in the study during the day." After Cai He heard this, he explained.
After all, she was a girl who was with He Jinlan and had the chance to come into contact with Liu Minshan.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I couldn't see him." After Liu Xinyue heard this, he thought about the intelligence he had gathered from Cai Ye before. It was probably because of this matter regarding Wenren Ruoxi.
"But that's good too, the later Liu Minshan notices me, the more time I'll have to raise my strength." Liu Xinyue thought.
"Alright, let's go in."
Seeing that he had stood outside for a long time, Liu Xinyue brought Cai He to the main entrance, extended his hand and knocked on the door.
"Knock!"
Cai He knocked on the door, but there was no one inside, so she knocked a few more times.
"Knock, knock, knock!" In other words, no one responded to him.
"Mistress, what's going on? Could it be that there's no one in the house? " Cai He asked suspiciously.
"Impossible."
Liu Xinyue shook his head, because according to the information he had gathered from Cai Ye, unless something happened, the butler Deaf Uncle would never leave the house.
When he thought about Deaf Uncle's situation, Liu Xinyue speculated that the reason no one came to the door was because Deaf Uncle did not hear their knocking at all.
"I'm afraid the Deaf Uncle didn't hear any sound. Let's try and see if we can push it away."
As Liu Xinyue said that, he reached out and tried to push open the door, but unexpectedly she pushed it open.
Just like this, Liu Xinyue and Cai He pushed the door and walked in.
Entering the old house, Liu Xinyue discovered that the old house was a big courtyard with five in and five out. From the main entrance, one could see a goose soft stone road connecting the main entrance of the house to the main hall.
As Liu Xinyue walked, he observed the Liu Manor. As he turned, he saw a plainly dressed old man standing to one side and looking at her with a surprised face, holding a basin full of water in his hands, with a clean white cloth hanging from it.
"Who are you? This is the Liu Estate, not a place where you can casually enter. "
"Deaf Uncle, I am Liu Minshan's daughter." Seeing the old man's actions, Liu Xinyue guessed that he was the butler, Deaf Uncle.
"Ah?" What did you say? I don't have good ears. " Deaf Uncle opened his mouth and exclaimed, then he pointed to his own ears and said.
"Deaf Uncle, this is our big miss. She specially came to visit old village head today, and also came to visit our house."
Seeing that, Cai He came to Deaf Uncle's side, and said loudly into his ear.
"Eldest Miss?" Deaf Uncle was startled, she looked carefully at Liu Xinyue, and realised that he looked extremely similar to the prime minister, and couldn't help but walk towards her.
"So it's the eldest miss, I was just in the back kitchen and didn't see you come. I hope the eldest miss doesn't blame me."
He couldn't help but be surprised. After all, it had been many years since someone had come to the capital.
However, he didn't know what had happened recently. A few days ago, a person came and said it was specially arranged by the prime minister, and now the eldest young miss was actually here herself.
"It's okay, I came rather suddenly, so I didn't tell you in advance." Liu Xinyue shook his head, indicating that it was alright.
"Eldest Miss, don't just stand there. Hurry up and come in. Come in and sit down."
Deaf Uncle had interacted with Liu Minshan and He Jinlan in the Prime Minister's Estate before, and also interacted with Liu Ruer before, but he had never interacted with this young miss, so his attitude was a little cautious, and one could even say that he was extremely respectful and cautious.
From the looks of the Second Young Miss from before, Deaf Uncle had thought that this Young Miss would have the same arrogant attitude as her, but now, it seemed a little different, she was even very polite.
"Right."
Liu Xinyue nodded, then followed the Deaf Uncle into the main hall and sat on the upper seat.
