Chapter 121 The Young Master and the Farmhand 28
In another quaint room, they met the heir of the Liu family whom they had been longing for.
Behind a screen, the heir sat behind a table, reviewing something, and seemed to be discussing something with someone else. Only the outlines of the two people could be seen through the screen.
"Young Master, the Yu family has arrived."
The three people outside the screen saluted hurriedly, but they did not hear the words to stand up.
A laugh came from behind the screen: "Oh, this is your father-in-law's family?"
The person who spoke was Niutou who came to discuss countermeasures. Just now, Lu Changning was watching the excitement outside happily, but was called over by Niutou to discuss something. Not long after, Yu Miao came back angrily. It was unknown what Yu Jia said to annoy this good-tempered man. He left a sentence "I leave it to you" and ran to hide behind.
Niu Tou saw this situation, and was not in a hurry to leave. He had to see what Lu Changning's father-in-law looked like. Lu Changning simply called people to the outer study room, and then he saw the current situation.
Looking at the family of three behind the screen, Lu Changning asked, "I heard you wanted to see me, is there something going on?"
The master of the Yu family straightened up, and one could hear the flattery in his voice: "Young Master, I am Yu Miao's father. In addition to coming to see Yu Miao, I have another unwelcome request. I want you to plead for my good-for-nothing second son."
"Your son?"
Father Yu said, "A few days ago, my son was arrested and framed, and has now been taken to the Discipline Pavilion of the Liu Family. I hope the young master will be flexible and clear my son's name."
Niu Tou had heard about this matter. The innocent son he mentioned was simply wicked, but this honest man was bullied. Now he is still here to confuse right and wrong. Could it be that those two children are not your Yu family's children?
Niu Tou couldn't bear it and said, "Young Master, I heard that the case of Yu's second son has alarmed Second Uncle, and now Second Master Liu is personally trying the case."
Lu Changning followed up and said, "Since Second Uncle is personally handling the case, the Yu family can rest assured. Second Uncle will definitely handle the case impartially and will not let any bad guy go."
Upon hearing this, the Yu family could no longer stand still: "Young Master, the child is young and ignorant, and he did do some bad things. Our family can compensate that person. I wonder if you can talk to the Discipline Pavilion and drop this case."
Lu Changning played with the ornaments on the table, rather nonchalantly: "A few days ago, a member of my Liu family committed a crime, and I handled it impartially. Now that member is on his way to exile, and I personally assisted in this matter. It's only been a few days, and you want me to make an exception for your son, why?"
Lu Changning waited for Yu's father to mention Yu Miao's name. Then he could criticize Yu's father for abusing Yu Miao. Then, Yu's father would be desperate and expose Lu Changgong. Then, Lu Changgong would make a brilliant appearance and slap him in the face.
Lu Changning has already arranged the subsequent plot and is just waiting to speak his lines.
But Father Yu was conflicted at this moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said something that Lu Changning had not expected with a look of regret on his face: "If the young master can help me once, I will give you my precious jewel."
What? Mingzhu? Her daughter! Damn, this old man is not a human being. It’s ok to tear up the script, but he actually sold his daughter.
The plot that Lu Changning had arranged was interrupted, and he was struggling with how to turn the plot around. He was slow to speak, but the three people below were a little unsteady.
Yu Xiaomei knelt down and kowtowed towards the screen: "Master, as long as you can save my brother, I will follow you voluntarily."
You are willing, but I am not. Lu Changning was so angry that he laughed. What could he not understand about this scene? It turned out that this was not selling the daughter, but letting the daughter marry into a wealthy family. Killing two birds with one stone. What an old man.
"Follow me?" Lu Changning looked at the kneeling woman through the screen and said, "She is too thin. I don't need such a servant. Otherwise, I'd better send her to A Miao as a maid."
The three members of the Yu family looked pale, obviously they had not expected this. Yu Xiaomei, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be humiliated. She stared at the screen in front of her. It must be this damn screen that prevented the young master from seeing her beauty, so he made such a decision.
Niutou chimed in, "With her body like this, she will fall down if the wind blows. Should she serve others or others should serve her? I don't think she can even be a good servant."
Lu Changning thought deeply: "That makes sense. Master Yu, you want me to save your son and find someone to take care of your daughter. You are repaying kindness with enmity."
"Young Master, I definitely don't mean that. In fact... in fact, my daughter's beauty is also excellent, and she is well-known in the surrounding area."
Lu Changning didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "I have seen your daughter before, and my evaluation is that she is not as good as your eldest son."
Damn, why didn’t this old man mention A Miao?
After hearing what Lu Changning said, Patriarch Yu finally wanted to change his strategy. But before he could say anything, Yu Xiaomei, who had been belittled, could no longer sit still. She stood up suddenly and spoke loudly.
"Young Master, you may not know this yet. The eldest son of the Yu family you mentioned actually had a crush on someone before he married you. That person was his farmhand, whose surname was Lu. The two of them hung out together every day, and even had a scandal of eloping before they got married. Everyone who came to marry you knows this, and you can find out if you check."
Yu Xiaomei's words caused a strange silence in the study room. The two Liu family members were silent for a long time. Yu's father knelt directly on the ground.
"I was a bad parent and was deceived by my son without realizing it. This is why this scandal happened. I definitely didn't mean to humiliate the Liu family. Please forgive me, young master. From now on, Yu Miao will have nothing to do with the Yu family. Whether he lives or dies, the Yu family will never ask. As for the farmhand, I will deal with him immediately after I return."
