boudoir

Chapter 99

There was silence in the room, Su Meiyin sat on the soft couch and raised her head after half a day, the sadness between the brows and eyes with light lines has not faded away.

"I know what you want. Sometimes you, like me, feel like a rootless weed in this house, and I don't know when it will be blown away by a gust of wind. I know you want to be able to control yourself Your future will not be controlled by Mrs. Yu and the others, I even guess like this, even if the old lady trusts you so much now, it can't really give you a sense of security?"

Liuli nodded slowly, "No one else can give you a sense of security." While the old lady is still alive, she can be guaranteed, but if one day she is gone, who will protect her?There are not many things like backing. If you can win over Aunt Su, at least it will be beneficial and harmless.The most important thing is that there is no conflict between Aunt Su and the old lady, and there is no hidden danger.So he sighed and said: "It seems that my city is still not deep enough to be seen so thoroughly by my aunt."

Su Meiyin sighed softly: "It's not that you don't have enough capital, it's that I've been observing you for a long time. Maybe at my age, it seems absurd to talk about the city's schemes with you, a child who is only ten years old. But like you, I want to achieve my goal with my own strength, but it is also difficult. So I have long wanted to find a helper, and I will pay attention to you when you come into the house, because you are alone, the most important thing for others. It's easy to bully, but it's the most helpful to me. Anyone here can be your backer, but they choose to be your opponent. It's my luck to give up a person like you. And What's even more rare is that your calmness and courage are something that many people don't have."

Liuli said, "I'm ashamed."

Su Meiyin said again: "Frankly speaking, I need someone like you to help me achieve my goal, and while helping me, you can also achieve your wish - the Yu family has fallen, with our means, That's the end of our bad days. We're allies, so to speak, in that regard. What do you think?"

Liuli smiled, but remained silent.Indeed, from the time she entered the mansion, she had planned to form an alliance with Su Meiyin, because not only was she the best choice for her, Su Meiyin was also the most suitable choice for her.This woman really has the qualifications to be an enemy of the Yu family. She comes from an innocent family. Although she is not from a wealthy and famous family, she is also from a scholarly family. Even more favored by the old lady, it seemed that she could really be He Cunli's equal wife.But He Yuli didn't even give her this status, but only gave her the status of a concubine, how can this make people willing?

At that time, she didn't know that her goal was to completely destroy the Yu family, but now that she heard her explain the cause, she didn't feel that her idea was abrupt at all.As her aunt, Yu's is like a mountain pressing on her head. Min Hua Suhua has a biological mother anyway, and she has nothing. If she doesn't fight that day, she will end up as a prostitute.Although she is considered a girl now, is everything safe now?If she doesn't fight, who can make her straighten like Yuhua Shuhua?If she doesn't fight, who will give her a proud future?

This kind of war in the backyard, either you die or I die. Now that she can't even rely on her biological father, she has to earn a future for herself, right?Su Meiyin told her the reason, and what she said just now was just to show her sincerity, and asked her to have an attitude. At this time, how she answered is very crucial to her future path.

If she agrees, this woman's methods are really beyond her imagination. Maybe she can't be blamed for Rui'er's incident, but she is too unscrupulous. What worries Liuli the most is that if there is a need in the future, Su Mei Yin might not repeat the old trick and stab her in the back. After all, this woman who has nothing is really taking revenge with her life. With Liuli's current ability, she can't control her at all.But if she refused, where would she go to find such a powerful force?
Liuli hesitated for a moment, then said after deliberation: "Liu Li admires Auntie's wisdom and character. It is a great honor for Liuli to be with Auntie. However, in the end, such things as alliances always happen when the goals are the same. So, my aunt's goal is to destroy the Yu family, and my goal is to find a stable backer, is this open to question?"

Su Meiyin looked at her, smiled slowly, stood up and took a few steps, waved her round fan and said, "You are right, an alliance can only be formed when the goals are the same. I know you want to find a backer, but no matter Whoever you are looking for, as long as Mrs. Yu is on top of you, you will never be able to get ahead. If you want to get ahead, if you don't get her off, it will be useless even if you risk your life. In a word, you and my enemy It's the same, just from a different angle."

After hearing what she said, Liuli knew that it would be impossible not to make a statement today, so after careful consideration, she had to resort to an expedient measure: "Liuli is willing to assist Auntie from the sidelines."

Aunt Su nodded: "That's very good."

Liuli Fu saluted with a salute, as if he had made up his mind.

Su Meiyin helped her up, went back to the couch and sat down, "Now let Mrs Yu and Mrs Qi fight, and Mrs Yu will not be reconciled if the big kitchen falls into Mrs Qi's hands. Mrs Yu has a big heart, but Having a big heart also has its disadvantages, when there are too many things in charge, one will naturally lose sight of the other, and when the big kitchen falls into her hands, we will add fuel to the flames secretly, and it will be almost the same.”

Liuli was noncommittal, and said instead, "You put Cheng Yingniang on the small stove, do you have any plans?"

Su Meiyin shook her head: "Put her in the big kitchen just so that she can gain a firm foothold there and be a manager or something in the future. It's not a plan right now, but her staying there is very useful to me."

Liuli hummed.Su Meiyin glanced at her, then smiled suddenly and said, "How much money did you borrow from the elder just now?"

Liuli's face was hot, and she said honestly: "20 taels."

Su Meiyin smiled, and called Heng Wei: "Go and get 20 taels of silver."

Heng Wei went away with a smile, and after a while took the silver and put it on the table.Su Meiyin said: "Take these." Liuli looked at the plate of silver covered by the red cloth, and couldn't help sighing: "Today I have to learn from the ancients and bend my waist for five buckets of rice." Su Meiyin didn't like it. Thinking about it, "I didn't say it just now, even if there is no such thing as money, I will look for you sooner or later. Today is just the right time."

Liuli couldn't say anything, so she bent down to thank her, and then lifted the red cloth to see that there were ingots of one tael and one ingot, twenty in total, but she felt worried: "I went out and took back so many Money is hard to avoid being eye-catching. Does Auntie have any bank notes?"

Su Meiyin said: "I don't have such a small banknote." Then she thought: "How many silver gifts do you prepare for the two noble sons in the mansion?"

Liuli said: "I'm thinking about gold and jade gadgets worth ten taels of silver per person, but I don't know if it's enough."

Su Meiyin thought for a while, "You don't need so many. You, a concubine whose biological mother is not around, have no other source of income except for the supply in the mansion. If you spend too much, you will cause trouble. Each person has a pair of small gold bracelets, and a small gold bracelet." The lock is enough, and it only looks like ten taels of silver. How about this, I will directly take out ten taels of silver to do it for you, and you can keep the remaining ten taels of silver on hand. I will send it to Hengwei in two days. over to you."

Liu Li hurriedly thanked: "It's very kind. I will definitely return this money to Auntie as soon as possible!"

Su Meiyin smiled, waved her round fan and said, "Okay."

Liuli talked with Su Meiyin on this trip, and couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.The happy thing is that in the future, I finally have a helper. Su Meiyin is well versed in house fighting, and will always impart some experience to her without knowing it. Before the Yu family is destroyed, she will at least save her pawn, but the worry is this A woman is duplicitous and turns her hand into clouds and rain. Although it is fine now, how will she control it at some point in the future?

But this is another story. There is still a long way to go before the Yu family is destroyed. Standing in line with Aunt Su is beneficial and harmless at least for now. I slowly considered it.

But no matter what, now that the addition of the pot has been settled, I feel that the life ahead is a little easier, but there are also troubles, such as when will the 20 taels of silver be paid back?Even if she does not eat or drink every month, she has to save for ten months. She has no habit of borrowing money. If she delays for a long time, she is afraid that people will think she is not creditworthy. This will not be good for her reputation in the future.Furthermore, it was Su Meiyin's money, and he was afraid that she would use it to make something unexpected, so he always wanted to pay it back as soon as possible.

Another two days passed with half happiness and half worry, that evening, the wives were serving the old lady for dinner in the main courtyard, and the old lady asked about Fourth Master He Xiuyuan going to take office in the Ministry of Officials, suddenly someone came from the second room : "Old lady, ma'am, the second mistress is starting to have a quarrel!"

The whole room was boiling.Liang quickly put down the spoon: "Where is Mrs. Wen?"

The mother-in-law said: "They are all here! The second young master asked the old slave to invite the wife!"

The old lady said: "Go back quickly, you don't need to wait here!" Then she pointed to the rest of the people: "You all go and have a look, don't stick around here!"

The four wives hurriedly retreated, Mrs. Liang didn't even bother to wash her hands, she lifted her skirt and went out the door.Yu Shi and the others left behind without a trace.

Liuli accompanied the old lady to eat, and the old lady wanted to worry about her little great-grandson who was about to come out, so she was absent-minded when eating, and kept calling Biyun to inquire about the news.Liuli was afraid that she would hinder her digestion, so she let her eat a bowl of milk soup, and then helped her away from the dining table.

From time to time someone in the second room came to spread the news that it was confirmed that she was going to give birth tonight, and the second grandmother was rolling in pain in the room.For a while, Shuhua was also accompanied by a girl, it turned out that it was not suitable for a woman who had not left the cabinet to stay there, so Liang sent her here.The old lady has been waiting in the flower hall accompanied by Liuli and Shuhua, until the old lady and the others have all returned to the house at Haishi, and there is still only news that the second grandmother is in pain from the second room.Because the old men came back with the old man and heard about it, they all waited in the main courtyard.
