368. Liu Manshu
Although the Zeng family in the west of the city owns the largest snack shop in Wan'an City, the house is not big and the location is average, which is quite low-key.
The snacks in Yipinge are quantitative and are often sold out and closed before the sun sets.
At this time, the family had dinner in the hall of Zeng's family and were drinking tea and chatting.
The person sitting in the main seat was the boss of Yipin Pavilion who was not tall, obese and honest, who had a simple smile.
Although this old man Zeng is a businessman, he is quite stubborn and attaches great importance to the recipes passed down by the Zeng family. Over the years, he has also tried to reject the proposal of some high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital to buy Yipin Pavilion, because in his eyes, this shop is the foundation for the Zeng family to settle down in Wan'an City. Although it can make a fortune by selling it, it will only be useless in the future.
Zeng Lai showed that he had a son and a daughter, but his son died in an accident in his early years, leaving only a daughter. He took a concubine, but failed to give birth to another son, so he hired a son-in-law named Yang Liu.
Yang Liu and Zeng Mingxiu, a lady from Zeng family, have been married for many years. The couple has a deep affection, and they have a son and a daughter, but both are underage. Yang Liu, who is smart and down-to-earth, is very satisfied with Zeng Lai. He plans to hand over Yipin Pavilion to Yang Liu this year, so he will be at home to retire with peace of mind.
"Dad, I heard that King Yun wants to buy our shop?" Zeng Mingxiu looked a little uneasy. She was petite, ordinary in appearance, and weak in character. She was dedicated to the family and cared for her husband and children. She was a standard inner woman.
Yang Liu had a thin face. Although he was a businessman, he dressed up quite elegantly. It was obvious that he looked good when he was young. Hearing Zeng Mingxiu's words, he looked at Zeng Laixian.
Zeng Laixian nodded, "Yes, Prince Yun greeted Yipin Pavilion and wanted to buy Yipin Pavilion. The price was very high."
"Dad, you can't sell it! I promised to hand it over to the minister's management this year! My husband has worked hard and done so much for the first time in the past few years!" Zeng Mingxiu was anxious.
Yang Liu patted Zeng Mingxiu's hand and comforted her warmly, "Don't worry, listen to your father finishing his words first."
Zeng Laixian looked at Yang Liu with great relief, "You are a steady person. I don't worry about handing over Yipin Pavilion to you. Although Prince Yun has a high position and is powerful, he is a sensible person. He refused for his father, and he didn't bother him. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Zeng Mingxiu looked happy, "That's good!"
"Aliu, where did you buy the recipe for black tea peach crisps? It has been sold very well recently!" Zeng Lai said with a smile.
Yang Liu smiled and nodded, "Then I'm relieved. The one who sold my prescription was a passing woman, pregnant and penniless, very pitiful. I happened to see it and gave me some money. With gratitude, she gave me the recipe for the black tea peach sauce that I passed down as a reward. At that time, I didn't know how much the prescription was worth, but I just kept the heart to help the poor woman and insisted on spending money to buy it."
"Okay!" Zeng Laixian praised him after hearing this, "This is a good intention to be rewarded."
Although Zeng Mingxiu is not young anymore, her eyes looking at Yang Liu are still full of admiration and admiration.
The matter about dim sum prescriptions has passed like this, and the Zeng family’s father and daughter have full trust in Yang Liu.
After Yang Liu and Zeng Mingxiu returned to the room to wash, Yang Liu inserted the door bolt from inside and lit the Anshen Xiang that they had to use every day. Zeng Mingxiu fell asleep quickly.
Yang Liu, who was lying down, suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and pushed Zeng Mingxiu under the bed. Seeing her lying on the ground, she had no pity at all, but was eager to lift the bed board and quickly disappeared into the room.
Zeng Mingxiu didn't know that there was something else under the bed where she had been sleeping for many years.
Compared to the simple Zeng family's house, this underground secret room is luxurious.
Precious brocade, gorgeous beds, antique porcelain, and an exquisite glass lamp.
The woman on the bed had a bulge in her lower abdomen, and she looked seven or eight months pregnant, and she lay there with her eyes closed, motionless.
Yang Liu walked quickly to the bed and sat down, carefully holding the woman's hand on the bed, with affectionate eyes and calling out, "Man'er!"
The woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at Yang Liu. She hadn't seen the sun for a long time. She looked pale, almost transparent, and was very thin, making her eyes look a little protruding, but she could still tell that she was a beautiful beauty.
If Rong Yuanfeng was here, he would definitely recognize him immediately. This is his biological mother Liu Manshu.
Liu Manshu's eyes looked at Yang Liu without any fluctuation, as dull as if she was walking corpse.
Yang Liu didn't care, so he gently picked up Liu Manshu, hugged her in his arms, and sighed, "Man'er, wait a little longer. I'll make arrangements in a few days and sell Yipin Pavilion. We took the money away and went to a place where no one knew us and gave birth to our baby."
"Where is Zeng Mingxiu?" Liu Manshu asked in a low voice.
"She will die with the immortal one!" Yang Liu's tone seemed to be talking about an irreconcilable enemy. If Zeng Mingxiu knew that she had loved so much for years, she was planning to let her die with the righteous woman she had been planning to die.
Liu Manshu closed her eyes and covered the gloom in her eyes, "Does that black tea peach crisp sell well?"
Yang Liu smiled when he heard this, "Selling is very good, and there is a shortage of supply every day!"
"That's good." Liu Manshu's eyes flashed slightly, "I have never made it since I left home, for fear of remembering the recipe incorrectly."
Hearing this, Yang Liu's smile deepened, "Remember right. In the past, in order to help you and not attract others' attention, I kept holding back the old thing and didn't touch him, just for the identity of the Zeng family's son-in-law. Now we can finally be together after going around and we have our children. You are willing to open your heart to me and be a husband and wife with me. I am so happy! It is also time to get rid of the Zeng family's waste, let's change the place and start over."
Liu Manshu listened and did not react.
Yang Liu frowned, "Man'er, don't you want to? I know that my status is low, but if time could be repeated, after I saved you, I would never take you to Beijing and let you meet that bastard Mu Zhenxuan and suffer all the hardships. After so many things, I realized that I am the most suitable man in the world and should have been your husband long ago. If that were the case, you would not have suffered those hardships."
Yang Liu said, touching himself, but he didn't see the deep disgust in Liu Manshu's eyes.
"I don't want to stay here anymore. What do you want to do? Start early. I want to leave Wan'an City with you and walk far away. I will never come back in my life." Liu Manshu whispered.
Yang Liu nodded, "Okay! Don't worry, I'm ready! Let the old man see the King of Hell first, and then I sold the shop, pretended to take my wife and children to live in another place, leave Wan'an City, and get rid of them all!"
"You can bear to have your children?" Liu Manshu asked.
Yang Liu's eyes were ruthless, "That's not the child I want, nor the surname is Liu. I just want you, I just want the children you gave birth to me. Keep them, you will not feel comfortable. It's better to let the Zeng family reunite in the underworld!"
"Brother Yang, you are so nice to me..." Liu Manshu leaned against Yang Liu's chest and said softly.
After a while, Yang Liu went to bed and lay down with Liu Manshu. He hugged Liu Manshu, gently stroked her pregnant belly, and whispered that he had carefully planned that their family would have a bright future.
During the day, Rong Lan, Rong Yuancheng, and Yuanfeng were suspicious because of the pack of black tea and peach pastry he bought from Yipin Pavilion. Duan Yunhe found out that the snack prescription was Yang Liu, the son-in-law of the Zeng family. Yang Liu came to Wan'an City alone more than 20 years ago and went to the Zeng family's shop to do chores, became the shopkeeper step by step, and married into the owner. No one knew his true origin, and he was also the only person with a suspicious identity in the Zeng family.
After coaxing two babies to sleep at night, Su Mo took Yuan Qiu to the Zeng family to investigate.
Now other things are in an orderly manner, and clues suspected to be Liu Manshu suddenly appear, and they must be investigated clearly.
It's late at night.
Su Mo hugged Yuan Qiu and landed in the yard of Yang Liu and Zeng Mingxiu. It was quiet and there was no servant. From Duan Yunhe, Zeng Laixian was a very decent person. Although he made a lot of money, he was frugal and generous, and there were not many servants in his family.
The room was very quiet. Su Mo used the smoke and waited outside for a while before entering the door.
Originally, Su Mo and Yuanqiu chose to come at this time, and Su Mo and Yuanqiu thought that they could not hear anything when they were asleep. They wanted to search Yang Liu's room first to see if there was anything suspicious. Duan Yunhe had sent someone to investigate. The Zeng family had no other houses in Wan'an City. Yang Liu usually had no suspicious signs except going to the shop to socialize with normal business.
But as soon as Su Mo and Yuan Qiu entered the door, Yuan Qiu smelled the strong fragrance of the sun, and looked down and saw someone lying on the ground.
No need to doubt this now, obviously, there is a problem.
This kind of Anshen Xiang Yuanqiu knows that it will not make the awake person fall asleep, but will make the sleeping person sleep as if he is dead.
Judging from the figure of the person on the ground by the bed, it was impossible for Duan Yunhe to describe the tall and thin Yang Liu, but it should be Zeng Mingxiu.
Yuan Qiu walked over and looked over. It was indeed a woman and she slept very hard.
The Zeng family's good son-in-law Yang Liu, who is said to be very good-natured, honest and smart, should have slept with Zeng Mingxiu in this room, but disappeared.
Su Mo walked to the bedside. The bedding on the bed was a little messy, and a corner of the mattress was pressed under the bedside. Su Mo reached out and raised the bed board.
There is no mechanism, there is nothing below.
Su Mo's movements were very light, but he still inevitably made a sound.
Yuan Qiu came over and saw that he had guessed eight or nine out of ten in his heart. In this case, there was definitely someone hidden below, and just as unexpectedly, Yang Liu hid a shameful woman under his bed and Zeng Mingxiu. In addition, today's black tea peach sauce, Liu Manshu, who disappeared out of thin air from Wan'an City, was obvious who was hiding below.
When Yang Liu was about to fall asleep below, he suddenly heard a faint movement from above. He woke up and immediately stood up.
Liu Manshu lying sideways facing inside, her eyes closed, but she didn't fall asleep. She also heard the sound and chose to continue pretending to be asleep.
Yang left the bed, put on his shoes and socks, and climbed up the ladder.
The bed board was still covered, and Yang Liu was slightly relaxed in his heart, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but he still chose to come out and take a look.
When Yang Liu climbed to the end of the ladder, pushed open the bed board above his head, he was strangled by his hands and pulled it out directly!
Yang Liu's spine was cold and his whole body was stiff, looking at the two people standing in front of him in disbelief.
A light was lit in the room, and the young man holding him looked peerless and looked like a fairy... No, he was a fairy! Yang Liu knew him, this was the third princess's son-in-law Su Mo!
The beautiful woman next to Su Mo with a faint expression was naturally the third princess Rong Yuanqiu.
Yang Liu's mind was like a thunderous blow. He didn't know how Su Mo and Yuan Qiu suddenly appeared in his room, and he didn't know what they were going to do. Did they find out that Liu Manshu is here? But how is this possible?
Su Mo didn't say a word, and wrapped a very thin golden silk hidden weapon around Yang Liu's neck. Yang Liu didn't dare to move, and sat there with a pale face, not daring to make any sound, watching Yuan Qiu disappear by the bed.
Even though there were speculations when it was above, it was a bit surprised when Yuan Qiuzhen met Liu Manshu again in a secret room under the bed in the home of a dim sum shop in Wan'an City.
Yuan Qiu originally thought that since Liu Manshu had the ability to escape, she should have a way to live a good life with her scheming methods.
At least, it was not like now, he looked haggard, pregnant again at such an old age, and was confined to a place where there was no sunshine. When he saw Yuan Qiu, he was so happy and excited, as if he had found a savior...
Very weird.
Especially, Yuan Qiu heard Liu Manshu looking at her with tears in her eyes and said, "You are finally here!"
Yuan Qiu:...What do you mean? Did they have a very good relationship with this bitch? After she was in trouble, she kept waiting for them to come to save her from the sea of suffering? It was either her memory was confused or Liu Manshu was crazy!
However, after thinking about it, Yuan Qiu thought of the black tea peach pastry that Duan Yunhe and Feng Jinbao bought home today, and had to suspect that the snack was the "suffering signal" that Liu Manshu had been deliberately sending out. She deliberately wanted to let the Rong family eat it, so that Rong Lan and Rong Yuanfeng noticed something was wrong, and then investigated Yipin Pavilion and found her.
After all, the Rong family is a regular visitor of Yipin Pavilion. As we all know, even if you attract ordinary people on the street, you may know which kind of snacks you like most in the Emperor and Princess of Dongming Kingdom today, and of course Liu Manshu also knows.
It was actually designed by Liu Manshu... Although Yuan Qiu wanted to find her earlier, she was still very unhappy.
And Liu Manshu's next words made Yuan Qiu extremely disgusted.
"How is Feng'er? Is Lingyue and the child good?" Liu Manshu mentioned Rong Yuanfeng and cried bitterly, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, everything, I was wrong... I know, you hate me and won't let me live a good life, but please, let me see Feng'er again, I think of him all the time, the person I feel most sorry for in my life is Feng'er..."
"My elder brother, sister-in-law and nephew are both doing well, and it should be said that they are great." Yuan Qiu's face was cold, "Since you know you were wrong, and you also know that the person you most afford in your life is my elder brother, then I will tell you kindly that if you are good for my elder brother, the most important thing you should do."
Liu Manshu sat weakly on the bed and asked subconsciously, "What?"
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are so good. Why do you see a dirty thing? You have to get your eyes dirty and bad luck? Don't you want to atone for your sins and shameless bitch like you. Look, the wall is very hard, and it is suitable for you to kill a vicious and shameless bitch. If you don't have the strength and can't kill a head-on, just hit it a few more times." Yuan Qiu sneered.
Liu Manshu's face froze, "I...I'm still pregnant. Even if you hate me, you will pity the child in my belly. The child is innocent..."
"Liu Manshu, I'm very suspicious. You have been locked up here for so long to find a way to attract us. You just want to get pregnant and raise it until you can't get rid of it. In this way, the child can be used as your life-saving talisman. I hope that because of the unborn child in your belly, we will be open to you. Am I right?" Yuan Qiu's eyes were cold.
Liu Manshu was tearful and shook her head repeatedly, but she couldn't help but tremble her hands and betrayed her panicked thoughts.
