Wu Zhong immediately nodded and said:

"What the lady said is that after the master is buried, you will go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Naturally, the servants will not dare to report these dangerous things to the lady without my permission."

Wu Zhong bowed deeper.

At this time, he also realized that the young lady was brought up by the master. She was not as well-behaved and sensible as she appeared on the surface, but she also had great ideas on the inside.

"Well, Guan Wu is going to have breakfast first, and he will have to deal with his father's business partners later. As for the Yamen, let Wu An keep an eye on it secretly, and wait until the body is sent to Yizhuang."

Ripple gave the order directly this time.

"Yes, don't worry, miss! I will take care of this myself."

Manager Wu lifted up his robe and left the side hall, while Luo Ying held Lianyi's hand and slowly returned to the mourning hall.

"Miss, the Li family will never give up."

Luo Ying's voice was very low and she spoke in Lianyi's ear.

"After my father passed away, I have to observe mourning for three years and won't go anywhere. They have no reason to take me away by force. As for the people sent by the Li family who can come to me alive in three years' time."

Lianyi covered her lips with a white handkerchief and said.

After Luo Ying heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had already entered the mourning hall, and the topic was over.

Perhaps because of the murder on the front street, some guests who came to express condolences were delayed. Two quarters of an hour later, people came to the door one after another. Ripple's eyes were blank immediately, and he thanked the condolences with red eyes. On the third day, Ripple pretended to be tired. Fainted in the mourning hall, the mourning ended.

Then the housekeeper took care of the rest. On the day of the funeral, Lianyi was supported by two maids and fainted from crying again. After going through all the procedures, Wu Youcai was finally laid to rest.

After resting for a day, Lianyi gathered all the slaves who entered the small courtyard together and made preparations before leaving. After her father's first seven days, she would leave this place of right and wrong.

"You have been working in the Wu family for so long, and you know that my father is a kind man. Now I am the only orphan left. After the funeral, there is not much money left for me to live on, so I decided to sell this house and go to Zhuangzi. On life.

If you can endure hardship, you can follow me to Zhuangzi. If there is a better way out, I will not stop you. Although you have signed a contract of betrayal, we are still masters and servants. I also want to accumulate blessings for my father. You As long as you collect enough money to sell yourself, you can redeem the deed of selling yourself from me. "

As soon as Lianyi finished speaking, Manager Wu placed a locked rosewood box on the table.

Ripple took out a key from his neck and opened the box. Inside were all the deeds of betrayal of the people in the courtyard.

People in the small courtyard looked at each other, and a bold and beautiful maid stood up and said:

"Miss, my family wants to take me back to get married."

"Okay, just ask your family to pick you up with the ransom money, and I will prepare a set of wedding clothes for you."

A hint of unwillingness flashed in the maid's eyes, and she just bowed her head and thanked Ripple.

Several more people came forward one after another, wanting to redeem themselves and leave. After all, how could one live a good life with an orphan? It would be nice if the young lady was not bullied.

After these people decided to stay or go, they collected the money the next day and released the deed of sale. After Lianyi asked the housekeeper to go to the Yamen to set up a female household, Wu Youcai even left a grain shop, a store and a small shop for her. Zhuangzi, Wu Lianyi is the only heir.

Wu Zhong personally went to the Yamen to set up a female household for Lianyi. The chief clerk asked:

"It is rumored that Wu Youcai has a fortune of millions. Why did he only leave this little thing to his daughter?"

"Lord Registrar, the rumors are misleading! After I arrived in Jiangnan, what did I do to make a loss? In addition, my wife was injured during childbirth, so I insisted on using good ginseng to support her, and the money was spent like water.

The lady went in the end, but the master almost didn't survive. If he hadn't wanted to protect the lady for a few more years, he would have followed her!

It's just that the master's health is not as good as before, and he has not stopped taking medicine. After all this trouble, what kind of wealth can he have? "

Manager Wu said with a grimace.

"The young lady knows that her family is in a tight situation and cannot afford to have so many servants. Those who are able to redeem themselves have been let to redeem themselves. The ones left behind have nowhere to go and are planning to move to the village to live."

"What about your house?"

The chief clerk's eyes flashed and he asked directly.

"The lady said that after we leave, she will sell it to a dental shop. She doesn't want to go back to this sad place."

"Indeed, both parents passed away in that house. It would be nice to have a different environment."

After saying this, the chief clerk quickly set up the female household and handed it over to Wu Zhong.

When Wu Zhong left the yamen, all the respect on his face disappeared. It seemed that there were many people who were thinking about the master's money. He wanted to remind his young ladies to be more careful.

After listening to Wu Zhong's report, Lianyi curled her lips. She had obviously expected it, otherwise she would not have sold the house.

After placing the household registration in the space, that night, she went to her father's study alone. The place had been tidied up, leaving only a few empty shelves and a set of tables and chairs.

Ripple easily moved the empty shelf away. Behind the shelf was a wall. She pressed on one of the bricks as Father Wu had said, and the brick dented. Then the mechanism rang, revealing a copper wall.

Ripple took out the copper key from his neck and put it directly into the groove of the key-shaped copper wall. The copper wall moved sideways, revealing the space inside.

The ripples can be seen clearly without lighting a lamp, because the space of less than thirty square meters is filled with gold, silver, jade, antiques, scrolls and original books. There are two luminous pearls as big as fists, which illuminate the entire secret room.

Lianyi just glanced at it, then waved her hand to put everything into the space, and then filled the entire secret room with the sand in the space. Then she closed the door and restored the walls to their original state. Then she also destroyed the mechanism, That brick will never be pressed down.

After moving the shelf back to its original place, Ripple left the study and returned to his room.

The next day, she ordered the maids to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.

Wu An suddenly came back to the housekeeper to report:

"Steward, it has been ten days, and no one has gone to the Yamen to identify the bodies of the gangsters. The bodies already stink. The county magistrate ordered this morning to have the corpses transported to Yizhuang outside the city."

"Okay, I know about this. You don't have to keep an eye on it anymore. Go pack your belongings and follow the lady to the village."

"yes!"

Wu An turned around and ran out of the house to pack his things.

Wu Zhong went to Lianyi and told the matter.

After hearing this, Lianyi wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and complained:

"Butler, it's so hot today. It feels like a fire. A spark can set the house on fire. Without ice, it would be very difficult."

Wu Zhong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then understood what his young lady meant, and then nodded.

On the third day, everything was ready. Lianyi took two maids, two nannies, six guards, and the housekeeper, rented two cars, and went straight to the hot spring villa.

"The little girl from the Wu family has left. The housekeeper has put the house up for sale at the dental shop. Do we want to stop her?"

See you tomorrow!
