2710 The truth
Zhang Liushi glared at the head butler.
“That year, after master became a Jinshi, he was sent to Chenyuan County. Liu Xiaohua, you know very well what Chenyuan County is like. The old master had just taken office and learned that there were three thieves ‘hideouts under the jurisdiction of Chenyuan County. The first thing he decided to do was to suppress the bandits. At that time, the old master was hot-blooded and had no experience, so things could only be done slowly. He found an opportunity in the second year. Do you know how the old master was captured by the bandits? Your brother was the one who tipped off the bandits. He pretended to be an honest peasant and cheated the old master’s trust, saying that his sister had been taken away by the bandits. Not only did he report to the mountain bandits, but he also pointed out the wrong path for old master. That’s why the old master was taken away.”
“After that, Madam spent a large amount of money and ran around to find helpers. She killed her way into the thieves ‘lair and saved all of you. You tell old master that you don’t want to leave with him. The old master was injured at that time and needed to recuperate. He also had to deal with the follow-up matters. At that time, he also thought that you had a hard time in the village, so he sent me to pick you up. The first time, I was chased away by your mother and brother. The second time, I brought some silver with me, but I was still chased away. Your family’s request is to bring you back to the residence, and you must find a job in the Yamen for your brother.”
“Hmph, they drove me away, but they collected the money very quickly. But, who is your brother? the bandits who were caught revealed everything. Your brother panicked and was afraid that he would be beheaded like the bandits, so he sent your mother to threaten the old Madam and Madam. Not only does your mother want your new identities, but she also wants to protect your brother. Is this possible? Your brother isn’t in the stronghold, so what he’s doing is no different from a mountain Bandit. They’re even more despicable than bandits!”
“Old Madam and Madam did not arrange for your household registration, so your mother wanted to hit the wall. She wanted to use this as a threat, but she did not control her strength well, so she killed herself. The old Madam and Madam were so frightened that they fell seriously ill. The old master was also sick, and there were many things to do at the Yamen. Why didn’t your brother and sister-in-law make a scene at the Yamen when they brought your mother’s body back? Because they were in the wrong, they accepted the silver and promised to take good care of you, but then they turned around and sold you, wanting to take the silver and run far away. In the end, he was caught. Your brother and sister-in-law admitted to it themselves. How did they send the pretty girls from your village to the mountain stronghold one by one? those mountain bandits didn’t wrong them.”
“Is this all because of the old master? Was it because of the old Madam and the madam? This is all because of your family, because your brother, sister-in-law, and your mother are evil and greedy. They want to extort our old master. And now, you’re here to seek revenge on our master! Shouldn’t you go to hell to find your brother and sister-in-law to seek revenge from your mother?”
The head butler cursed angrily.
He had never expected that it was because of what had happened more than 20 years ago.
If this Liu Xiaohua had heard about it last year, or if he had come to question him a few years ago when the old master had just taken office, this would definitely not have happened.
However, this person was actually secretly planning to kill?
“No, impossible! That was impossible! “I clearly heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law say that they couldn’t sleep. I’ve been thinking about this for all these years. They should have registered us back then, Zhenzhen.” Zhang Liushi didn’t believe the head Butler’s words at all and shook her head in denial.
“Old Furen and Furen are kind. They have said that they will help you and your daughter to get new household registration. But, does your mother only want the two of you?” The head butler questioned.
