Chapter 270
Chapter 270
Liu Musheng escorted Huang Wanwan home before returning to the Liu residence.
He kept thinking about how to bring up leaving the capital, and where he could go if he left. This was indeed a difficult problem.
Liu Yuechu is in charge of everything in the Pangri Manor. How can he make up a story to fool his clever and mischievous sister?
Liu Musheng was worried the whole way and needed to sit down and prepare.
But as soon as he entered the door, Liu Yuechu called him over, "Where have you been all day? I specifically asked someone to call you back, but you're back so late?"
"You can make the decisions yourself, why are you calling me?" Liu Musheng felt a little guilty because Huang Wanwan had specifically reminded him that this was a secret between the two of them and no one could tell anyone, including Liu Yuechu.
Liu Yuechu tilted her head to look at him, "What happened to you?"
"No, I'm fine... What else is wrong? If not, I'm going back to rest, I'm tired." He stammered.
Liu Yuechu didn't press further; she was still raising money for Yuan Cuo. Now that the money was available, the question was how to deliver it to Yuan Cuo.
This matter was not convenient for the secret guards to know, because even Yuan Cuo refused to tell Hou Lai.
But if she were to have someone in charge deliver it, only Yao Wei or Song Liu'er would be suitable, and the capital couldn't do without either of them. So she could only set her sights on Liu Muchi.
However, Liu Muchi was meticulous but lacked courage.
Liu Yuechu was actually thinking of Li Chengyue, but Li Chengyue said he was going to return to the capital, but there was still no news.
As a second choice, she only wanted to ask her older brother if he was willing to make the trip, since Liu Musheng had said a few days ago that he wanted to leave the capital and go on a business trip so that he could experience whether he could adapt to the outside environment.
After all, Liu Musheng was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had never suffered any hardship.
A trip to the mines might scare them so much they'd never dare mention going out again...
Liu Yuechu suppressed her gloating thoughts and said, "Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
She told him about her plan to see Yuan Cuo, "...I've been having nightmares these past few days, and I really miss him. Didn't you want to go out and clear your head? Could you make the trip for me? He has to travel to a faraway place, and I'm worried he'll suffer too much, so I'll send him some money."
“I don’t trust anyone else, only if you go, brother, can I stop having nightmares.”
"Please help me, okay?" Liu Yuechu asked Liu Musheng in a coquettish tone for the first time.
Liu Musheng got goosebumps all over and quickly shook off her hand, saying, "Go away, I'll go, okay?"
"when are we leaving?"
"You're not going to make me leave tomorrow, are you? You need to give me a few days to prepare, at least three days."
Three days? I wonder if Huang Wanwan will have enough time?
"Five days should be enough. I should be ready by now. Okay, that's all. I'm going back to rest."
As soon as Liu Musheng finished speaking, he left, his steps quick and hurried, as if afraid of being called back by his sister.
Liu Yuechu thought he would refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so quickly.
"What exactly happened to him? He seems like a thief trying to sell stolen goods."
"Young Master has been quite absent-minded these past few days; perhaps he hasn't recovered from what happened with Miss Wanwan yet," Huajiao added, trying to smooth things over.
Liu Yuechu responded lightly, "Help him prepare everything, not only the silver notes, but also the goods he carries. Tell Yao Wei to bring more escorts from the security company, and that there must be no problems on the way!" She was genuinely worried.
Sichuan peppercorns helped deliver the message.
Now that Xia Zhi and Gu Yu are helping to take care of Liu Yuechu, Hua Jiao has also started to do some outside work.
After thinking it over, she went back inside and wrote a love letter to Yuan Cuo.
The letter was naturally filled with longing, concern, and worry, and only at the end did it reveal that Liu Musheng would give him a surprise.
Yuan Cuo received the news three days later.
He hadn't expected Liu Yuechu to act so quickly. He promptly informed Chen Hongwu, also worried that Liu Musheng might encounter problems on the way, and asked him to send someone from the army to meet him.
Chen Hongwu did not refuse and immediately began to allocate the funds.
Liu Musheng had told Huang Wanwan that they would depart in five days, and now that there were still two days left, he was also wondering how Huang Wanwan's preparations were going.
Huang Wanwan has been extremely stressed these past few days.
She never expected that Liu Musheng would be leaving the capital in just a few days!
After saying that, she thought she'd have at least a month or two to prepare. She never expected to only be given five days, and three days have already passed. She still doesn't know how to tell her mother to let her and her brother leave the capital…
"What's wrong with you these past two days? Are you feeling unwell because of your period?" Madam Huang asked, noticing her pacing back and forth, her mind elsewhere.
"It's nothing..." Huang Wanwan replied casually.
"Mother."
"Ok?"
"Shall we leave the capital?" she suddenly asked.
Madam Huang's hand holding the medicine froze. "Why should I leave? I am the wife of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. I will die in this mansion."
“But you could have lived to be a hundred years old. I wanted to take you and your brother back to your maternal grandparents’ ancestral home for a visit.” Huang Wanwan dared not tell the truth, fearing that it would drive her mother mad.
"I told you, there's nothing to see." Madam Huang finished her medicine, her brows furrowing from the bitterness, coughing incessantly. Huang Wanwan quickly helped her mother pat her chest and swallow the unpleasant medicine.
“But Yan’er hasn’t been there yet, and hasn’t met her uncle and aunt.” Huang Wanwan spoke softly, hoping her mother would agree to leave. “I have a friend who happens to be leaving the capital the day after tomorrow. If you agree, I will feel at ease if he leaves the capital with his entourage.”
"???" Madam Huang stared at her in disbelief. "What do you mean? Why are you insisting that we leave?"
Huang Wanwan bit her lip and made up a reason, saying, "I don't want to marry that blockhead Lü Shan, but my aunt is threatening me with you and my brother..."
"So you're going to send us away and then elope?" Madam Huang exclaimed in surprise.
“You don’t need to worry about not having money at all. In fact, I’ve already put some of my own money into the Liu family’s business, and I’ve made quite a bit of money over the years…” Huang Wanwan said. “Not only can I afford to treat your illness, but I can also find the best doctor for my younger brother. Even if we don’t go back to our maternal grandparents’ home, we can live very comfortably. Why should we be manipulated and wronged in the capital?”
"And then give this mansion to them, so they can have their way? My son will become an unacknowledged wild child, while those illegitimate children become the legitimate children of the mansion? And I will be reduced to a wretched wanderer in a foreign land, unable to even be buried in the Huang family ancestral graveyard after my death?!" Madam Huang suddenly roared in fury!
Huang Wanwan was stunned. She hadn't expected her mother to care so much about her status. This was completely different from her usual gentle and indifferent nature.
Before she could say anything more, Madam Huang's face twisted into a grimace. "Give up on that idea. I will never leave the Huang family."
“I know I’ve been poisoned, and I won’t survive whether I leave or not. But as long as I’m here, you and your brother will both be legitimate heirs of the Huang family.”
"Even if I die from the poison, I will not let that woman be buried in the wife's grave!"
