Chapter 283 A Father's Heart
Wu Zhong immediately nodded and said:
"What the young lady said is that after the master is buried, you will go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. These dangerous things, The servants will naturally not dare to report this to the lady without my permission."
Wu Zhong bowed deeper.
At this time, he also realized that the young lady was brought up by the master. She was not as well-behaved and sensible as she seemed on the surface, but she also had great ideas on the inside.
"Well, Guan Wu is going to have breakfast first, and he will have to deal with his father's business partners later. As for the Yamen, let Wu An keep an eye on it secretly, and wait until the body is sent to Yizhuang."
Ripple gave the order directly this time.
"Yes, don't worry, miss! I will take care of these things myself."
Steward Wu lifted up his robe and walked out of the side hall, while Luo Ying held Lianyi's hand and slowly Return to the mourning hall.
“Miss, the Li family will never give up.”
Luo Ying's voice was very low and she spoke in Lianyi's ear.
“After my father passed away, I have to observe mourning for three years and won’t go anywhere. They have no reason to take me away by force. As for the people sent by the Li family who can come to me alive after three years. Let’s talk.”
Lianyi covered her lips with a white handkerchief.
After Luo Ying heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had already entered the mourning hall, and this topic was over.
Perhaps because of the murder on the front street, some of the guests who came to express condolences were delayed. Two quarters of an hour later, people came to the door one after another. Lianyi's eyes were blank immediately, and he thanked the condolences with red eyes. On the third day , Lianyi pretended to be tired and fainted in the mourning hall, and the mourning ended.
Then the housekeeper took care of the rest. On the day of the funeral, Lianyi was supported by two maids and fainted from crying again. After going through all the procedures, Wu Youcai was finally laid to rest.
After resting for a day, Lianyi gathered all the slaves who entered the small courtyard together and made preparations before leaving. After her father's first seven days, she would leave this place of right and wrong.
"You all have been working in the Wu family for so long, and you know that my father is a kind man. Now I am the only orphan left. After the funeral, there is not much money left to support me, so I decided to leave this The house is sold, go to Zhuangzi to live.
If you can endure the hardship, you can follow me to Zhuangzi. If there is a better way out, I will not stop you. Although you have signed the deed of betrayal, but We are masters and servants, and I also want to accumulate blessings for my father. As long as you gather enough money to sell yourself, you can redeem the deed of betrayal from me."
As soon as Lianyi finished speaking, Manager Wu said. A locked rosewood box was placed on the table.
Ripple took out a key from his neck and opened the box. Inside were all the deeds of betrayal of the people in the courtyard.
The people in the small courtyard looked at each other, and a bold and beautiful maid stood up and said:
"Miss, I want to take you back to get married"
"Okay, just ask your family to bring you the ransom money to pick you up, and I will prepare a set of wedding clothes for you."
A hint of unwillingness flashed in the maid's eyes, and she only lowered her head and thanked Ripple.
Several more people came forward one after another, wanting to redeem themselves and leave. After all, what kind of good life could follow an orphan girl? It would be nice if the young lady was not bullied.
After these people decided whether to stay or not, after collecting the money and releasing the deed of sale the next day, Lianyi asked the housekeeper to go to the Yamen to set up a female household, and Wu Youcai openly gave her a grain store. , a store and a small village, Wu Lianyi is the only heir.
Wu Zhong personally went to the Yamen to set up a female household for Lianyi. The clerk who handled the matter also asked:
"It is said that Wu Youcai has a fortune of tens of millions. Why did he only leave this little to his daughter?" Something."
"Master Chief, the rumors are misleading! What did the master do after arriving in Jiangnan? In addition, the wife was injured during childbirth, so the master insisted on using good ginseng. The money was spent like water.
The lady finally went, but the master almost didn't make it. If he hadn't wanted to protect the lady for a few more years, he would have followed her!
It’s just that the master’s health is not as good as before, and he has not stopped taking medicine. After all this trouble, what kind of wealth can he have? "
Steward Wu said with a grimace. "The young lady knew that her family was in a tight situation and could not afford to have so many servants. Those who were able to redeem themselves were asked to redeem themselves, and those left behind had nowhere to go. I plan to move to Zhuangzi to live there. "
"What about your house? ”
The chief clerk's eyes flashed and he asked directly.
“The lady said that after we leave, she will sell it to the dental shop. She doesn’t want to go back to this sad place.”
“Indeed, both parents died in that house. It would be better to change it. The environment is also good.”
After saying this, the chief clerk quickly set up the female household and handed it over to Wu Zhong.
When Wu Zhong left the yamen, all the respect on his face disappeared. It seemed that there were many people who were thinking about the master's money. He wanted to remind his young ladies to be more careful.
After listening to Wu Zhong's report, Lianyi curled her lips. She had obviously expected it, otherwise she would not have sold the house.
Putting the household registration into the space, that night, she went to her father's study alone. The place had been tidied up, leaving only a few empty shelves and a set of tables and chairs.
Lianyi easily moved the empty shelf away. Behind the shelf was the wall. She pressed on one of the bricks according to what Wu's father said, and the brick dented. Then the mechanism rang, revealing one side. Copper wall.
Lianyi took out the copper key from his neck and put it directly into the groove of the key-shaped copper wall. The copper wall moved sideways, revealing the space inside.
You can see the ripples clearly without lighting a lamp, because the space of less than thirty square meters is filled with gold, silver, jade, antiques, scrolls and original books. There are two luminous pearls as big as fists, which illuminate the The whole secret room.
Lianyi just glanced at it, then waved her hand to put everything into the space, and then filled the entire secret room with the sand in the space. Then she closed the door and restored the wall to its original state. Then she also destroyed the mechanism, That brick will never be pressed down.
After moving the shelf back to its original place, Lianyi left the study and returned to his room.
On the second day, she ordered the maids to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.
Wu An suddenly came back to report to the housekeeper at this time:
“Butler, it has been ten days and no one has gone to the Yamen to identify the bodies of the gangsters. The bodies are already stinking. The county magistrate This morning, I ordered Wu Zuo to transport the body to Yizhuang outside the city."
"Okay, I know about this. You don't have to keep an eye on it anymore. Go pack your belongings and follow the lady to the village."
"Yes!"
Wu An turned around and ran out. The house went to be packed.
Wu Zhong went to Lianyi and told the matter.
After hearing this, Lianyi wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and complained:
"Butler, it's really hot today. It feels like it's roasting on fire. Any sparks can set the house on fire. It would be very difficult without ice."
Wu Zhong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then Understanding what his lady meant, he nodded immediately.
On the third day, everything was ready. Lianyi took two maids, two nuns, six guards, and the housekeeper, rented two cars, and went straight to the hot spring villa.
"The little girl from the Wu family has left, and the housekeeper has put the house up for sale at the dental shop. Do we want to stop her?"
See you tomorrow!
