Mr. Liu nodded, "Of course it is grand. This was the residence of a prince during the feudal period. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was given to Mr. Fu by the superiors as a reward for his contribution to the country. After that, the Fu family spent a lot of money to get it.
The mansion was restored and renovated one after another, and the Fu family’s old residence became what it is today.”
"It turns out to be the prince's residence. No wonder it is so big. Other prince's residences have either been expropriated by the state or have been forcibly demolished. It is very rare. How great would it be if our Liu family could also have such a garden?" Liu
My father looked around enviously and said.
Mr. Liu said nothing.
He didn't want to own such a garden, but the Liu family didn't have the financial resources to do so.
But it doesn't matter. After Linlin marries into the Fu family, and after Mrs. Fu passes away, Linlin will become the mistress of the Fu family. By then, she might be able to live in this garden.
There is no difference between owning it and owning it yourself.
As for Wang Shuqin, Mr. Liu simply ignored it.
The father and son talked all the way and soon arrived at the main hall.
As soon as they entered the door, Mr. Liu and his son saw the old lady sitting on the main seat and drinking tea.
The old lady also heard the footsteps. She put down her teacup and looked up, and saw Mr. Liu and his son being brought over by the guard.
"Old Madam, we have arrived." The guard led Mr. Liu and his son into the main hall, then stopped in front of the old lady and pointed to Mr. Liu and his son behind him to report.
The old lady put down her teacup and nodded, "You go back and continue working. I'll call you later if I need anything."
"Okay, madam." The guard bowed, turned and left.
There were only four people left in the main hall: the old lady, Feng Ma, Liu Lao and Liu's father.
The old lady glanced at Mr. Liu and his son, then pursed her lips towards Feng's mother behind her and ordered, "Xiao Feng, pour tea for you two."
"Okay, madam." Feng Ma stood up and responded, then walked towards Mr. Liu and his son, invited them to sit down, and started pouring tea.
Behind Feng Ma pouring tea, the old lady pretended not to know the purpose of Mr. Liu and his son, and asked: "It's so late, why did Mr. Liu come to my place suddenly?"
Mr. Liu took the tea poured by Feng's mother and replied with a smile: "I'm really sorry, sister, for coming here to nag you so late. I can't help it. I..."
The old lady's face darkened and she interrupted him directly, "What did you just call me?"
The old lady's tone was undisguisedly sullen.
Mr. Liu was stunned immediately, obviously not understanding why she suddenly became angry.
He thought to himself, is there nothing wrong with what he said?
Not only the old lady, but also Feng's mother's face was gloomy, full of unhappiness.
When Mr. Liu and his father and son saw this scene, their hearts skipped a beat.
Father Liu even directly asked Mr. Liu with his eyes: Dad, what did you say? Why are they all angry?
Mr. Liu shook his head and said he didn't know either.
If he knew, he wouldn't be so confused.
After Feng Ma poured the tea, she turned back behind the old lady and looked at the two people with a livid face, "Mr. Liu, please don't call our old lady nonsense. If I remember correctly, the old lady should be older than you."
If you call her older, aren't you taking advantage of our old lady?"
Mr. Liu's old face turned red, "I didn't..."
Only then did he realize that it was his name for the old lady that angered these two people.
He thought he had offended them by saying something else.
But they might be making too much of a fuss.
Isn't it just a title? Is it worth worrying about?
In his heart, Mr. Liu was very dissatisfied with the reaction of the old lady and Feng Ma, but he also knew that he was in other people's territory and could not go too far, so this thought was not expressed.
Instead, he quickly admitted his mistake and said, "No... No, Mrs. Fu, I really didn't mean to take advantage of you. I didn't mean to..."
"Mr. Liu, no matter what you are thinking, I only know that our old lady is the oldest in the circle, and it is not just me who knows it, everyone in the circle knows it. After all, everyone in the circle came here last year.
We are here to celebrate our old lady’s birthday, so I think Mr. Liu, you can’t possibly not know our old lady’s real age, but you just talk about being a big girl. Isn’t it clear that you are taking advantage of our old lady? Look.
Over the past few years, the eldest young master has taken a fancy to your Liu family and your Mr. Liu, which has made the Liu family and Mr. Liu feel a little carried away. It has made you, Mr. Liu, have a feeling that you are in the eldest young master’s heart.
You have the illusion that your position is more important than the old lady, so you dare to be so presumptuous that you even want to overpower the old lady, right? "
Mother Feng's words could be said to be murderous and heart-breaking. She even refused to give Mr. Liu a way out and pinned Mr. Liu to the pillar of shame, which was a deliberate attempt to humiliate the old lady.
Old Liu was so angry that his body was trembling, and his face, which was already flushed, was now even redder and bleeding.
Next to him, Father Liu saw his father being spoken of like this by Feng's mother, and he immediately became furious. He pointed at Feng's mother and complained to the old lady, "Old lady, are the servants around you not very polite?
Without saying a word, she keeps talking and insulting the guests. If you keep such a servant by your side, aren't you afraid that one day she will overtake you?"
After listening to his son's words, Mr. Liu's eyes flashed and he also looked at the old lady.
The old lady was not angry at all because of Father Liu's questioning, but drank tea calmly.
After finishing the drink, she put down the tea cup, then looked at the two father and son who were blowing their beards and staring, and snorted coldly, "You are the one who takes over? If you are the one who takes over, it should be you. We elders are talking here, so why is it your junior's turn?
Cut in!"
At this point, the old lady's face darkened, "Also, who said Xiao Feng is a servant? She is not only my friend, but also my family, so why shouldn't my family speak for me? What's more, she said
They are still those who don’t take my old woman seriously and try to take advantage of her, so what’s wrong with her?”
As soon as these words came out, Father Liu couldn't say a word, and his face turned red just like Mr. Liu.
Seeing this, the old lady sneered disdainfully, "Okay, what you said just now is right. You are guests, and you come to the door. As the protagonist, I really don't want to be too fussy with you as guests, so just now
Let's end the matter here. Now tell me, why did you come to see my old woman so late?"
The old lady spoke in a calm tone, not enthusiastic at all.
Everyone could tell that the old lady was actually not interested in the purpose of their visit. The reason why she was still willing to ask was just to go through the process.
After all, people come, so it’s not good to do nothing.
Mr. Liu understood what the old lady meant and was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver.
But there is no way, even if the other person is not interested, I can only endure it.
Mr. Liu clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down. He forced out a smile and said, "Mrs. Fu, it's like this. I came here because something happened today. I don't know if you know about it."
have no idea?"
he asked tentatively.
The old lady rolled her eyes secretly, her face even more impatient.
Feng Ma saw it and understood something immediately. She said to Mr. Liu with a cold face: "Mr. Liu, if you have anything to do, just do it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush to test our old lady. Our old lady is going to rest and has no time to be with you."
What kind of guessing game are we playing here? Just tell me, do you understand?"
