Chapter 295: No Face Given

front of her again.Although Wu Lianbo was beaten, it was ultimately a conflict between the two brothers of the Wu family. General Wu didn't say anything about it, and the school naturally chose to av...With so much commotion at the door, Li Renyu naturally knew about it right away. He felt that his niece was a bit rude and lacking in manners, so he instructed the servant beside him to ask Li Qin to receive Lianyi.

The ripple carriage rolled into the courtyard and stopped. Ripple instructed Li Guanchang and Li Pozi, who were by the carriage side:

"The two of you go and ask the mistress which courtyard can be allocated to me temporarily. I'll wash up first, then go to greet my uncle and aunt so as not to be rude."

The two exchanged a quick glance and immediately went to see Li Qinshi. They had a lot to say to her.

Li Qin had endured her son's disappearance, his fate still unknown. She held a deep resentment towards Lian Yi, believing that if Wu Youcai, the old man from their village, hadn't died, his son wouldn't have gone to Jiangnan and wouldn't have disappeared.

She couldn't find Wu Youcai to settle the score, but the saying goes "the son inherits the father's debt." His daughter was her target for revenge. The inheritance she inherited originally belonged to her son.

If ripples knew the other party's thoughts, she would only feel disgusted. This person is a master of turning the tables around. It was their Li family who wanted to take over the orphan's property! They actually had the face to say such things.

Upon hearing the reports from Li Guan and Mrs. Li, a fleeting look of ferocity flashed across Li Qin's haggard face. She abruptly smashed the teacup in her hand, leaving everyone too afraid to even raise their heads.

"Madam, please don't be angry. Think of the young master and Lord's instructions."

The head maid, Chao Yun, could only grit her teeth and remind.

Li Qin smoothed her breath, opened her eyes, and said to Chao Yun,

"I understand! Have Miss Table be taken to Liuyun Courtyard and tell them that after their long journey, they don't need to rush to meet me today. They should settle in first. Tomorrow when the master is at leisure, I will receive them."

Yes, madam!

Li Qin waved her hand, allowing Chao Yun to go about her business. She remained with Li Guan and Li Pozi, wanting to inquire about their journey. Regarding this niece of the Li family, she knew very little.

Chao Yun, accompanied by ripples of water, went to Liuyun Courtyard. She never got to see the true face of this cousin, and there was no sign that she was going to get out of the carriage.

Looking at the slightly dilapidated courtyard, a soft and melodious voice reached Chao Yun's ears:

"It seems that Uncle's household is indeed not as prosperous as before. Even the courtyard hasn't been arranged for maintenance. Since he invited Miss to be a guest, why didn't he tidy up the courtyard in advance Is this welcoming me Or giving me a warning"

Zhao Yun's face changed, she knew this was intentional on Li Qin's part. Just as she was about to explain, she heard the other party continue:

"Enough, I won't be able to ask a servant about you anyway."

Auntie Wen, let's go stay at an inn. Have Minmin run a trip and book a room!

Tomorrow I will visit both uncles again.

Yes, Miss!

Aunt Wen glanced at Chao Yun, the disdain in her eyes was not concealed at all. With such a low level of skill, she dared to try and make things difficult for her young mistress.

When Chu Liangchen saw the yard, he was unhappy. Was this a place for people to live

Now, following the lady's orders, he pulled on the reins and the carriage turned, heading straight for the gate. At this time, the gate hadn't been closed yet, mainly because the latch had been kicked off.

When Chao Yun saw that something was amiss, he took off running and immediately went to report to Lady Li Qin.

Just as the person gathering coins in front of the door hadn't left, a carriage that had only just entered less than a quarter of an hour ago came out again. Everyone watched curiously. Min Min’s face was filled with anger, and she complained in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, but not too loud:

"What does this mean, the Li family They invite young miss to be their guest but can't even arrange a decent courtyard They say they have no money to maintain it, so the young miss should arrange for someone to buy a courtyard beforehand and live there. Why put up with this kind of trouble!"

"Alright, let's make do with this for tonight. We'll talk about it again tomorrow after I see my uncle. You go find a guest house."

Wenlu said in a bland manner.

"Yes!"

Mimin turned and ran away. Among the onlookers, some kindly pointed her in the right direction, saving the little girl from taking a longer route. At least she got some money that people had scattered.

Chu Liangchen's eyes observed six directions and ears listened to eight, immediately mounting his carriage and following in the direction where Minmin left.

When Li Qin heard Chao Yun's report, the ripples line had already left Li's mansion. Li Qin was so angry that she fainted and went black in front of her eyes.

This dead girl, she doesn't show any mercy at all!

Chao Yun averted her gaze and remained silent. To allow someone to live in a yard overrun with weeds, even someone with backbone wouldn't accept it. Besides, the person was wealthy and generous, having directly booked out the inn. Perhaps they would buy a yard of their own by the next day.

Chao Yun didn't expect that her momentary grumbling would actually come true the next day.

Li Renyu was the last to know what happened. Furious, he stormed into Li Qinshi's courtyard and slapped her across the face as soon as he entered, angrily scolding:

"Don't you think there are already too many people watching jokes You preside over the feedback, don't you know the situation in the house Now that we finally managed to coax people here, you just pushed them away again. And now everyone is saying that we can't even tidy up a courtyard for a young lady."

Li Qin, with her face still stinging from the slap, had lost half her strength. The household was now patching one hole with another, barely scraping by. Where could they possibly find the money to repair those neglected gardens

They had finally waited for Wu Lianyi's three years of filial piety to end, invited her over, and hadn't even gotten any silver from her before they let her leave.

"I've sent my attendants to deliver the notice. Tomorrow, remember to speak kindly and find a good reason to appease them. Don't make things worse."

Li Renyu, with a wave of his sleeve, left the main courtyard and went to his concubine's house.

Li Qin was so angry she smashed another cup. In the end, it was the arrival of her youngest son that stopped her tantrum.

Holding her young son in her arms, a glint of hatred flashed in her eyes. She was determined to seize Wu's family fortune. Her husband was unreliable; she had only her son to rely on.

The ripples don't care about the Li family's infighting. After soaking in a petal bath, it rested early.

After breakfast the next day, Wu Meng and Wen Lu came to see her.

"Miss, yesterday the two of us inquired about house prices in Beijing. Through a middleman, we found a courtyard with two entrances. The other party wanted 5,000 taels of silver for it. All the furniture inside is included and the transfer can be done at any time. The only thing is that the price cannot be lowered."

What do you think

Ripples asked carelessly.

"Miss, the courtyard layout is quite good. The flowers, trees and plants are all well-maintained. There's a two-story stilted building in the second courtyard. You should like it, Miss. The furniture in the room is about 80% new. If it wasn't for the homeowner needing to sell it urgently, the price would be even higher."

"Okay, you guys discreetly investigate and see if there are any hidden problems with this house. If there aren't any, just buy it!"

Immediately, Luo Ying was sent with Wu Meng to handle matters. After dressing up, she took Min Min, Luo Huai, and Wen Lu by car back to Li Mansion.

This time, the doorman saw Chu Liangchen driving from afar, so he opened the gate and respectfully ushered him in.

The carriage stopped at the entrance to the second courtyard. Luo Huai helped Lian Yi out of the carriage and slowly entered Li's main hall.

Now, many people have gathered in the hall, all eager to meet this legendary Miss Bai.plosion."Got it!"Raven hung up the phone and assigned his deputy a task: investigating the cause of the explosion wouldn't be a one or two-day job.Morgan only had his men rescue the trapped civilians,...
