Lian Fu Yue was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Third Aunt, where did you come from?"
Mrs Liu lowered her voice and mysteriously said, "A few days ago, when her eldest uncle abandoned her, I went to the Clear Spring Academy to ask her for a scented cream. In the end, I accidentally discovered that she was coming to Gui Shui. People who are pregnant are never going to have Gui Shui. I was startled and pretended I didn't know anything, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. So many years without movement, how did your mother get pregnant the moment she got pregnant?
I thought she'd been abandoned and wouldn't even ask about the baby, so I stopped talking to your grandmother. She might think of a way to slip out of the house. But now I hear from your grandmother and father that when the baby is born, they will carry it back to the Lian family so that its blood will not leak out. I thought, this Xiao family is cunning, they might even carry a child from the outside and impersonate him. Isn't this messing up the Lian family's bloodline? "Look, what do you think we should do?"
Who would have thought that the confused Mrs Liu would discover such a big secret!
"Third Aunt, is there anyone else who knows about this?" Lian Ruyue asked.
Lady Liu thought for a moment and said, "Other than me, there's also my personal maid, Zhu Qiao. This girl's mouth is very tight, so she doesn't dare to speak carelessly."
"Then bring this matter up to me. Third Aunt, don't tell anyone else." Lian Ruyue said.
"Yi, Moon, how come you aren't surprised at all by this news and aren't surprised at all? Could it be that you …" You already knew? " Only now did Mrs Liu notice that Lian Ruyue's expression didn't change at all when she heard that the Xiao family was faking pregnancy.
Lian Ruyue pursed her lips without saying anything, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
Mrs Liu was surprised, "You really did know. Why didn't you reveal it earlier? This is a good opportunity to completely take her down."
"The time is not right, let's not rush." Lian Ruyue lightly said. Her face clearly showed that everything was under her control and she had the attitude of being in control.
When Lady Liu saw this, her heart couldn't help but tremble. Thinking of the great change that had occurred in her family over the past half year, a trace of fear towards Lian Ru Yue grew in her heart. She asked, "You, when did you know?"
"I always knew." Lian Ruyue did not cover up.
Madam Liu felt her scalp go numb. The Xiao family had been pregnant for more than three months before they left. These three months, Lian Yue had been silently watching the Xiao family use the excuse of being pregnant to make all sorts of jokes and jokes.
She had a vague feeling that even Moon was about to make the next move and she couldn't figure out what that move was. She could not help but feel a chill down her spine:
"Ru Yue, what are you going to do?"
Lian Ruyue did not deny it. She nodded to the little girl, and the little girl went into the inner room. She came out with a box in her hand.
Third Aunt, Third Uncle recently raised a playboy called Yi-Xiang outside. Third Uncle really enjoyed listening to this Yi-Xiang opera, so he gave Grandma a few pieces of land for your Third Branch to sell and gave Yi-Xiang a house in the outskirts of the capital.
"Ru Yue, about this matter, you better not tell the madame about this matter. If the madame finds out that this damnable Lian Family's land is being sold, I'm afraid that she'll have to kick him out. At that time, Yan Shu and I really won't know what to do."
"Don't worry, Third Aunt." Lian Ruyue opened a corner of the box in Qing Dai's hand and took out a piece of paper, passing it to Madam Liu. "This is the land deed Third Uncle used to sell those lands; I've bought it back. Take it yourself, Third Aunt. Don't give it back to Third Uncle."
When Mrs Liu saw this, she was stunned for a moment, then abruptly took the land deed. With a cursory glance, it was indeed the land deed for the few pieces of land that Lian Yan Tao had sold.
"How could you …" She gripped the land deed tightly and looked at Lian Ri Yue, not understanding how it came to be in her hands.
I think this is a property of the Lian Family, it cannot be sold. Moreover, if Grandmother knew, Third Aunt and Fifth Sister would be in trouble too, so she sent people to buy it. When she had received the news that Lian Yan Tao had sold his land, she had quietly bought it from the buyer. She thought that it would always be useful in the future. Now, she could be considered to have used it.
"This …" Mrs. Liu was so excited that tears began to well up in her eyes, as the title deed trembled in her hand. "The money needed to buy the title deed … "I …"
"Third Aunt, we're a family. You can take it, no matter what." With that, she placed the heavy box into Third Aunt Liu's hands. "Third Aunt, keep this gold with you. Don't let Third Uncle spoil it again."
Mrs Liu's hands trembled as she opened the box. It was filled with a box of gold. There were twenty of them! A golden light flashed past her eyes!
"Ruyue, how … how did you get so much gold?" She forcefully swallowed her saliva. Lian Yan Tao was a prodigal. Mrs Liu was not as rich as the other wives. To her, this gold was undoubtedly a huge fortune.
Seeing Mrs Liu's excitement at seeing the gold, Lian Yue gave a faint smile. The person who could be subdued with money was the person with the least effort. She only needed to hand over the thing she needed the most.
"Third Aunt, I know the origin of my gold. Just take it."
"This, this is really for me?" Mrs Liu hugged the box tightly and asked in disbelief.
"…" Lian Ruyue nodded.
"The deed of land, the gold … Yue'er, Third Aunt will remember this favor of yours." Mrs. Liu felt that Lian Ruyue was a big tree worth relying on. The Xiao family's residence no longer had the Xiao family's mother and daughter to do anything. Most of the time, it was this young miss who made the decision, but what she didn't expect was that she was actually so rich.
"Third Aunt, please continue to keep the matter of the Xiao family's pregnancy secret." Lian Ruyue said at the right time.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't say it. Even if my mouth is pried open by someone, I won't say it." Lian Ruyue was her lucky star, and since she was so generous with her money, she had to protect this big tree no matter what.
Mrs Liu was satisfied as she left while hugging the land deed and gold. The smile on Lian Ruyue's face froze as she instructed:
"Leng Mei, watch him more closely. Don't let him speak nonsense."
"Yes, Eldest Miss." Leng Mei accepted the order.
Fortunately, Mrs Liu did not say anything out loud. Otherwise, her plan would have to change. It seemed that she needed to be more cautious in the future.
At this time, the faint sound of a zither could be heard from outside.
"Listen to me, Miss. I've started practicing again. Third Miss is working hard this time."
"Father's birthday banquet is about to arrive, and it will be a big event. The people that come will definitely be nobles of the royal family. Can't she take advantage of her pitiful beauty and make full use of this last bit of opportunity?" Lian Ruyue tilted her head up slightly and lit up the sandalwood that Qing Dai brought over. A faint fragrance lingered in the room.
