Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 290 It happened for a reason
Empress Dowager Liu was annoyed, and Mrs. Liu's face was also extremely unkind.

After the Empress Dowager Liu scolded her like this, she finally came back to her senses, what does the third Mrs. Liu want to do!

The Liu family has been an imperial merchant for two generations. After the Empress Dowager Liu entered the palace and gave birth to the prince, she got a little bit of royal relatives, which gave her a lot of confidence, and the business grew bigger and bigger.

It's just that Empress Dowager Liu's eldest brother has always been childless, and her second brother died in a flood when he went to business again, but this aunt gave birth to the third son, who gave birth to three sons in a row.

Empress Dowager Liu's father attached great importance to the third house. When Mrs. Liu risked her life to give birth to Liu Qi at an advanced age, Master Liu had already handed over half of the Liu family's business and shop to the third house.

But Mr. Liu can give birth to sons, but he really doesn't know how to do business. It was fine when Mr. Liu was around, but when Mr. Liu died, those businesses plummeted, and the property that he got was reduced by more than half in just a year or two.

Uncle Liu and Empress Dowager Liu are both soft-tempered people. In the meaning of taking care of their brothers, they borrowed a large amount of working capital from their own shops to lend to Third Master Liu to save those shops, and even went to help Third Master Liu in person. Comb the following manpower.

But once the difficulties of the shop were over, Mr. Liu turned his face and denied the loan, only saying that it was left to him by Mr. Liu, and he was ignorant of it.

That money was originally the working capital of Uncle Liu's shop, but suddenly there was no follow-up. Those shops couldn't even pay for the goods that were to be supplied to the palace. also be held accountable.

But at that time, the fifth prince was rejected by the emperor because of the disadvantage of the warlord, and the empress dowager Liu was walking on thin ice in the harem, but the third master Liu and the third wife Liu deliberately wanted to make a fuss about it.

Uncle Liu was so angry that he could only swallow his anger, and took Mrs. Liu's dowry and the personal money sent by Empress Dowager Liu from the palace, and finally passed the difficulty.

It's just that Uncle Liu had put in so much effort to help Third Master Liu, and after running around in anger, his body completely fell down. At the time of reconciliation at the end of the year, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, unable to move his body or speak.

At that time, Liu Qi was only in his teens, and his health was not good, so Liu Sanye relied on his uncle's status to seize the power of the Liu family and take away the property of Dafang.

It was also because of Liu Qi's strength that he found Mrs. Rong through Empress Dowager Liu, and Duke Rong Guo stepped in to keep his property.

In the ensuing years, Liu Qi relied on his own ability to expand the business in his hands, but Liu Sanye's property shrank again and again, and Liu Qi managed to take back most of the shops.

Later, Liu Qi monopolized the capital market by relying on his original powder and balm, and even monopolized half of the spices. His family wealth skyrocketed, and the three houses were completely incomparable.

At this time, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu posted up again relying on their status as elders, wanting to intervene in Liu Qi's marriage and let Liu Qi marry Mrs. Liu's niece.

Although this Liu family is a merchant, it is also an imperial merchant for many years, and it is also somewhat respectable. At the beginning, Master Liu married a daughter who was educated and reasonable, virtuous and virtuous, and the children he gave birth to were also very handsome. palace.

Master Liu tasted the sweetness, so he married his eldest son a Jinshi's daughter, and his second son also married a Juren's daughter.

When it came to the third son, he was a pretty woman. He had flirted with the daughter of the tofu seller on the street and had an affair.

Mr. Liu didn't value the concubine at all, and he couldn't beat Mr. Liu, so he married the daughter of the tofu seller.

And this family got the dowry from the Liu family and the subsidies from Mrs. Liu later, so they became rich. They bought a big house and hired more than a dozen servants. Life.

Mrs. Liu San's niece, apart from being good-looking, doesn't know a single word, and has a rude temper. I heard that several of the maids around her have been beaten.

Letting Liu Qi marry her, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Liu Qi!

Mrs. Liu hurried back to her natal home, married Liu Qi a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family, and silenced the two of them.

Liu Qi and that daughter-in-law have a good relationship. Seeing how they love each other, Empress Dowager Liu and Mrs. Liu are waiting to hold their grandson (nephew), but unfortunately, one year when it snowed heavily, Liu Qi’s daughter-in-law fell outside for some reason. A fall caused miscarriage and hemorrhage. Liu Qi was not there at the time, and the house was delayed due to the panic. Liu Qi's wife was rescued, but her health was not good.

Since then, there has been no pregnancy.

When the emperor ascended the throne, the Liu family became the uncle's house in one fell swoop, Uncle Liu was granted the title of Cheng En Bo, and Liu Qi was given the title of heir son. The Third Master Liu and Mrs. Liu then lowered their stance and entangled again.

Mrs. Liu came from a scholarly family, and like Empress Dowager Liu, she is a person who cannot save face, and the emperor has just ascended the throne, so she cannot be laughed at by outsiders.

So in terms of face, I still won't make Sanfang look bad.

Moreover, Mrs. Liu is also a little worried. The daughter-in-law is not in good health and has never had children. Liu Qi has always refused to take concubines for his wife. She doesn't even have a concubine. In this way, I am afraid that he will adopt another house.

The second room only has the second wife, a widow and an only daughter who is already married.

There are only three bedrooms, and the three sons have given birth to many sons, adding up to a dozen or so.

The Empress Dowager Liu also knew what Mrs. Liu was thinking, so she tolerated the people in the third room to pretend to be uncles outside.

But the tolerance of these two made Mrs. Liu's tail curl up. Not only was she arrogant to the outside world, but today, she brought her three daughters-in-law to Mrs. Liu's place early in the morning, waiting to enter together. palace.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to bring them into the palace together.

Unexpectedly, she was completely misrepresented by Mrs. Liu as an act of Ai Wu Ji Wu, and she actually united with Concubine Yuan, trying to force the Liu family to marry Su Yue as a concubine.

Mrs. Liu and Empress Dowager Liu have a very good relationship. Although they don't often go to the palace because of poor health and need to take care of Uncle Liu, they also know about Su Yue.

Knowing the emperor's love for Su Yue, and the empress dowager's love for Su Yue.

That's why she wanted to give away the jade bracelet in her hand, which can be regarded as showing the Liu family's heart to the emperor and queen mother.

But Mrs. Liu San actually wanted Su Yue to be Liu Qi's concubine!

If Concubine Yuan's words really made this happen, the emperor might be furious, and even hold a grudge against Liu Qi.

Mrs. Liu San, this is trying to ruin Liu Qi and their big house!

Kowtowing at Empress Dowager Liu tremblingly, Mrs. Liu said: "Mother, Empress Dowager, this old man has no such intentions. This jade bracelet is not a family heirloom at all. It's just that Qi'er got a good jade some time ago and opened it. The madam has a vicious mind, and she said this on purpose, because she wants the empress dowager to blame Qi'er, the empress dowager! I am wronged!"

Mrs. Liu San trembled even more, and blurted out: "Empress Dowager, this matter, this matter is really not the concubine's fault, yes, it was Madam Yuan and the second princess who sent someone to say that Liu Qi is interested in Miss Su. , but suffering from being unable to speak out, if this concubine can fulfill this matter, the Queen Mother will also be happy, concubine..."

"At a time like this, do you still want to frame her?" Empress Dowager Liu's face was gloomy and her voice was cold.

Interrupted Mrs. Liu San.
