Chapter 139 3 Months
"Some people just like to daydream and think that others are fools and don't need to care about them."
After Liu Tianshu finished speaking, she casually opened the account book of Gu Jinyun's expenses for the past few days.
When he turned to the end and looked at the final expenses summarized by the accountant Yu, his eyes were full of mockery.
"Our Lord is really good at spending money. He has already spent more than a thousand taels of silver in less than half a month."
"Madam, there must be some money that Yu the Accountant embezzled."
"Does anyone care? Anyway, those belong to the Marquis' Mansion. What does it have to do with me?"
Liu Tianshu sneered and threw the account book aside.
"Qingshan, has Liu Tianyi been behaving well these past two days?"
Qingshan frowned and said, "Without Nanny Yue's supervision, she has not left Liuyuan for the past half month, but she did not kneel as ordered by you, Madam."
"Really? Let's go and take a look..."
Glancing at the sky, Liu Tianshu chuckled and said, "Now is a good time to make people kneel as punishment."
Following behind Liu Tianshu, Qingshan asked curiously, "Madam, how long do you want Aunt Liu to kneel as punishment?"
"It depends on my mood. Anyway, the Marquis is not in the mansion now, and it's rare to have some fun. Naturally, I can't let her go easily."
Qingshan Guanxue also hated Liu Tian'er for seducing Gu Jinyun. It had been so long since the incident happened. In their opinion, the matter was over. To trouble Aunt Liu again would only make their lady appear intolerant, and it would not be good for her reputation if the matter got out.
But since the lady wants to do this, there must be a reason for her. They just need to do as she says.
When Liu Tianshu brought Qingshan Guanxue over, Liu Tian'ai was playing the piano in the yard. The melodious sound of the piano made people feel happy just by listening to it.
"Madam Liu is in such a good mood that she even has the mood to play the piano here..."
"Madam, how come you have time to come over here?"
Stopping the piano in her hand, Liu Tian'ai frowned and looked at Liu Tianshu.
"Madam Liu is so generous that she doesn't even greet me, her wife."
"I have seen you, Madam."
Not wanting to continue being punished, Liu Tian'ai gritted her teeth, stood up and saluted.
"No need to be so polite, Aunt Liu. I heard the song you just played was pretty good. Why don't you play two more?"
"Yes!"
Unable to figure out Liu Tianshu's real purpose of coming here, Liu Tian'ai sat down again and started playing the piano.
Qingshan Guanxue moved a stool from the front hall for Liu Tianshu to sit on, and at the same time brought tea and snacks and placed them in front of her.
Seeing Liu Tianshu sitting there like a big boss, drinking tea and eating snacks, while he himself had to perform here like a singing girl, he was almost furious.
Liu Tian'ai clenched her teeth tightly and exerted the greatest self-control in her life to avoid throwing the piano down and leaving.
Liu Tianshu was in a very good mood as she watched Liu Tian'ai, who was obviously about to die of anger but was trying hard to suppress it.
Liu Tian'ai's piano skills are good. She played the piece of music so gently and beautifully that Liu Tianshu couldn't help but nod in praise.
When the song ended, Liu Tianyi asked directly, "Madam, is there anything you need from me?"
"It's true."
Liu Tianshu put away the smile on her face and said in a serious tone: "I heard that Aunt Liu has not been kneeling according to the rules these days?"
Nanny Yue died, and Liu Tianshu never came to her courtyard. Liu Tian'ai used silver to bribe the servant who was responsible for supervising her kneeling as punishment. She thought she had done it perfectly, but she didn't expect that Liu Tianshu would find out.
"Madam, we are sisters after all. Are you really so unkind?"
"This is the punishment that Nanny Yue gave to my sister. Even though she is dead now, the punishment has not been cancelled. My sister can only continue to kneel as punishment."
When mentioning Nanny Yue, a hint of guilt flashed across Liu Tian'er's eyes.
"There has to be a date, right?"
"Madame Yue didn't say anything. How about I go ask Madame Yue myself?"
Listening to Liu Tianshu's light words, Liu Tian'ai felt a chill in her heart and tried hard to suppress the resentment in her heart.
"Liu Tianshu, you and Nanny Yue have caught me, and I accept the punishment. You should always leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future."
"What Aunt Liu said is correct. We really can't let you kneel every day. Why don't we set a three-month deadline? Now that Nanny Yue has been buried, you can stop kneeling when her 100th day has passed."
After saying this, Liu Tianshu didn't wait for Liu Tianyi to protest, and smiled and reminded her, "I know that Aunt Liu has money in her hands, and can bribe those who come to watch you kneel down as punishment. I have decided to personally watch you kneel down as punishment from now on. I wonder how much money Aunt Liu plans to use to bribe me?"
"you……"
Liu Tian'ai looked at Liu Tianshu in shock.
"Liu Tianshu, I fell into your hands because I am not as skilled as you. But don't think that you can control me forever because of this. The Marquis will never allow you to do so..."
"The Marquis has not been in the Marquis' Mansion recently, and we don't know when he will come back, so he couldn't hear you playing the piano for more than half a month."
At this point, Liu Tianshu reminded again: "Liu Tianyi, I know you have always been unwilling to accept and want to surpass me, but you can never think about it in this life."
After saying that, without even looking at Liu Tian'er's ugly face, he stood up and left. When he reached the door, he said to the two maids guarding the door, "Some money is not easy to take. Next time, if I find out that you are working for him, I will just say that your whole family has been sold."
As soon as Liu Tianshu said this, the two gatekeepers immediately knelt on the ground in fear.
Everyone can still vividly remember the events that happened when Liu Tianshu sold Liu Garden. Even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to disobey her orders.
"It's good that you don't dare. Keep an eye on everyone in Liu Garden. Aunt Liu's daily punishment of kneeling cannot be sloppy at all. If anyone dares to let her go again, he will kneel with her every day."
"The slaves dare not."
"Humph!"
After warning the people in Liuyuan, Liu Tianshu left feeling refreshed, leaving only Liu Tian'ai in the yard, gritting her teeth in anger.
Ever since I last saw Gu Jinyun, I thought my good days were finally coming, but I didn’t expect that I hadn’t seen him for more than half a month.
These days she had been playing the piano in the yard, hoping to lure the person over, but she never expected that the person was not in the house at all. Even if she broke her fingers, she would not be able to lure the person over.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Liu Tian'ai pushed the guqin in front of her to the ground and returned to her room angrily.
"Aunt..."
Minglu followed him into the room and was about to pour her a cup of tea when she was slapped hard in the face.
"You useless thing, you couldn't even find out this little information, and I was forced to be watched by that bitch Liu Tianshu."
Not daring to talk back even after being beaten, Minglu knelt on the ground anxiously.
"Auntie, ever since Nanny Yue died, I have been locked up in the courtyard. I really don't know what's going on outside. I didn't know that the Marquis showed so much attention to you that day, and turned around and took you..."
The four words "forgotten completely" circled around her lips and were finally swallowed by her.
Liu Tian'ai was not an easy master to serve. This sentence would surely anger her again. For the sake of her own life, she dared not speak nonsense again.
Although Minglu didn't say what she wanted to say next, Liu Tian'ai could guess it. She was angry and had no place to vent it, so she could only take it out on her.
Although Liu Tian'ai is not short of money, she will never do something as expensive and laborious as breaking teacups again. Recently, whenever she is unhappy about something, she takes it out on Minglu.
Unable to return to Wutongju, and Gu Jinyun no longer came to Liuyuan, Minglu had to endure it no matter how unwilling she was.
She let Liu Tian'ai kick and hit her, and she just used her hands to protect her head tightly.
At this moment, she hated everyone, but the one she hated the most was Liu Tianshu, the person who sent her here but didn't care about her...
