Chapter 66 Fryer
Liu was unsure of Xie Lan's identity and originally did not want to offend her for fear of complicating her eldest daughter's job.
But now she couldn't help herself, "Miss Xie, you must have calculated wrongly. Didn't you say that my daughter is not dead yet? Then how could she be sent to a ghost marriage?"
Liu regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Her Qiuxia was clearly no longer angry, so how could she be so foolish as to believe the girl's lies?
One moment she said her daughter was not dead and she was going to the mass grave to save her. Now she said her daughter was sent for a ghost marriage. It was really ridiculous.
Whose lady is this? Are you making fun of her out of boredom?
Liu was angry, but also felt sad.
Even if she was fooled, what could she do? She was a powerless woman, as lowly as an ant in the eyes of these powerful people, so how could she care about their lives.
Mother and daughter are connected by heart. Qiu Shuang felt bad when she saw her mother wiping tears with a sad and angry look on her face.
But when I thought about the day when I saw Xie Lan helping Yuan Ruhui to expose the true identities of Sun Youan and the Lu mother and daughter, I felt that she was not that kind of person.
But when he thought of what Xie Lan said about the ghost marriage, his brows furrowed again.
Xie Lan didn't explain much, he looked at Liu and said calmly, "My divination is correct. As for why your daughter was sent to a ghost marriage, you have to ask your husband."
Nanny Chen was sitting at the shaft of the carriage. She wanted to say something, but when she heard Xie Lan's words, she swallowed it back.
Tiechui has good hearing and can hear everything that happens inside the car.
Glancing at Nanny Chen, he said coldly, "My daughter's fortune-telling is always accurate and has never been wrong."
Her voice was loud and both Liu's mother and daughter heard it.
After all, Qiu Shuang had served the Princess of Shouguang County for several years, so her brain was better than Liu's.
She pursed her lips and suddenly looked at Liu, "Mom, did my father go to gamble secretly again?"
Liu was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly asked this, "I don't know."
"So my dad is often not at home?"
"Yes."
"What about the monthly salary I have people send back every month? Have you saved it for yourself?"
Liu avoided her gaze.
When Qiu Shuang saw her expression, she became furious and asked, "Dad wants you to leave me again?"
Liu said timidly, "Your father said that he has given up gambling and wants to live a good life. He found a way to do business with others, so he took the money away.
He said that he would redeem you once he made money, and would save up a lot of dowry for you three sisters in the future.
After you marry into your husband's family, you will be able to stand up straight and not be bullied."
Qiu Shuang looked very disappointed.
When her father was young, he used sweet words to trick her mother into marrying her. After they got married, she found out that her father was a gambler.
Although her mother tried to persuade her, her father agreed on the surface but continued to gamble in private.
In just a few years, he lost all the family fortune, and even her mother's dowry was taken away by him to gamble.
When she was eight years old, her father sold her to the Prince's Mansion in order to have money for gambling.
After leaving that home, she didn't want to have anything to do with her father anymore, but she was worried about her mother and two younger sisters, fearing that they would starve to death, so she could only save her monthly salary and give it back to them.
She repeatedly warned her mother to take good care of the money and never give it to her father to gamble.
However, her mother was easily deceived, and every time she got the money, it was cheated away by her father before she could even warm it in her hands.
Half a year ago, her father wanted to sell her second sister in order to raise money for gambling.
She asked the county lady to come forward and threaten her father that if he did not quit gambling, he would be sent to jail.
After half a year of silence, she thought her father had finally gotten scared.
But now it seems that her father has not given up gambling, but has become even worse. He must have wanted to sell her second sister to someone else for a ghost marriage in order to get money for gambling.
Liu didn't want to believe it and couldn't help but defend her husband, "Shuang'er, your father really has quit gambling..." It would have been better if Liu didn't speak for her husband, but after she said this, Qiu Shuang could no longer suppress her anger.
"He has lied to you for half your life, why do you still believe his lies?"
"It's true. Your father has been very nice to us recently. He always brings back the food he buys and shares it with us."
Qiu Shuang was so disappointed that she couldn't make him become a better person. "If he really changed for the better, then why did he drug me and make me unconscious? Why did he send my second sister to be married to someone else?"
Mrs. Liu still doesn't believe that her husband drugged her eldest daughter. Her face is full of displeasure. "Shuang'er, you can't talk nonsense if you didn't see anything. How could your father do such a thing? Xia'er is also his own daughter. How could he give her to someone else for a ghost marriage?"
After listening to this for a while, Xie Lan still had nothing to understand.
She glanced at Liu and said calmly, "Whether it is true or not, we can find out if we go down and ask."
Liu was stunned and didn't understand what she meant for a moment.
Xie Lan ignored her, lifted the car curtain and got out.
Qiu Shuang looked through the opened curtains and realized that they had already arrived at Qinggui Lane in East City.
When I looked up again, I saw a familiar figure walking out of the house. Before I could even feel happy, my heart sank.
Qiu Shuang didn't care about her mother. She quickly jumped out of the car and ran over in two or three steps. "Dad, why are you here? Where is my second sister?"
Wang Youfu was walking out with a smile on his face, but when he heard the familiar voice, the smile froze on his face.
When he looked up and saw that it was the eldest daughter, he felt a little nervous and hurriedly wanted to stuff the banknotes in his hand into his sleeve pocket.
Qiu Shuang quickly snatched it away, looked down, and her face immediately turned ashen.
"Dad, did you really sell my second sister to someone else for a ghost marriage just for gambling money?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors who had heard the noise and were curiously craning their necks to watch suddenly widened their eyes in surprise.
The women who came with Liu to watch the fun were even more excited.
When they heard that Liu's second daughter was not dead, they were still a little skeptical. They wanted to go to the mass grave to see for themselves, but they changed their route halfway.
They were just wondering, they didn't expect that Wang Youfu actually sold his daughter to someone else for a ghost marriage.
A hint of panic flashed across Wang Youfu's eyes.
Liu's body shook, her eyes full of disbelief, "Her father, you, you really..."
Wang Youfu was filled with anger and interrupted Liu before she finished speaking, "What nonsense! How could I do such a thing? I sent my daughter out of the city a long time ago."
Seeing that there were people watching, Wang Youfu was embarrassed to say that he had sent his daughter to a mass grave, but Liu understood and felt relieved.
Qiu Shuang's face remained cold, "Since Dad sent my second sister out of the city, why is he here? This Qinggui Lane is in the East City, far away from the South City.
And where did this banknote come from?"
Wang Youfu's face darkened. This was really outrageous. It was fine that the county lady was used to pressure him, but now this damn girl even dared to question him in public.
"It's not your turn to intervene in my affairs. Why don't you bring the banknotes to me? This is really outrageous."
Seeing Wang Youfu pinching Qiu Shuang's arm and trying to take the banknote away, Xie Lan raised his chin towards Tiechui and said, "Catch him."
"Yes, girl."
Tiechui stepped forward quickly and grabbed Wang Youfu's wrist.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts…”
The doorman of the nearby Ding Mansion, while everyone was watching Wang Youfu being arrested, slammed the door shut and bolted it from the inside.
