After Liu, the old master, was released from prison, he suddenly lost interest in women. He no longer kept mistresses hidden away and even sold his two concubines who hadn't given birth to any children.

From then on, he dedicated his mind to his business outside the home. Upon returning, he stayed with Lady Liu and his daughter, Liu Doukou, enjoying family bliss.

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu's relationship grew even closer. As their feelings deepened, Mrs. Liu naturally dismissed the idea of giving her maid a chance to marry into the family.

There is no woman in the world who truly, from the bottom of her heart, wants to be virtuous, generous and well-behaved just so she can accept a concubine for her husband. So-called understanding is all an act.

Wouldn't it be intolerable to have another person sleeping beside your bed? As a woman, who wouldn't want her man to only belong to her?

But Mrs. Liu hadn't expected that, because of her single hint, the maidservant had developed a scheme.

Now that her own mind has changed, this big housemaid's intentions are not so easy to extinguish.

Thus, one day when Madam Liu discovered that this maid always liked to put on makeup and powder, serve tea and water, and deliberately flirt in front of Master Liu whenever he entered the room.

Although Master Liu hasn't recovered from the last actress's drama, you keep putting a fish in front of a cat. That's just foolish and reckless.

Therefore, Lady Liu chastised the chief maid. The maid was frightened and quickly swore an oath that she had no ill intentions towards Lady Liu. After that, she also deliberately kept her distance from her.

This is just a placeholder.

Mrs. Liu didn't consider selling the maidservant either, but thinking that she had brought the maidservant up herself, and her parents were old servants from her family's home, she was accustomed to using her, so she didn't sell her.

But no matter where he went, he had to bring the maid along. That included coming to Changping Village to watch a play this time, so that if she wasn't there, the maid could take advantage of the situation and have something happen with Master Liu, which would be too late to regret.

The three of them gave reasons that convinced me, now it's your turn, tell me, prove that you didn't betray the young mistress.

Lady Liu's stern gaze swept over the young maid kneeling on the ground, and she said coldly.

The maid simply buried her head in the ground, her voice trembling slightly as she stammered, "Madam, I've been serving you and Miss since I was young. My father and mother both work at your mother's house. I am a family member, a dowry to the mistress. I wouldn't dare have any ill intentions, please, Madam, clear my name..."

“You harbor no ill intentions, but you resent me!” Madam Liu said with a sneer.

The maidservant was startled, then raised her head to look at Lady Liu's smiling yet unsmiling eyes. She suddenly understood what she meant.

“My lady, I would never dare to harbor any resentment...”

“Look here, it’s not that there isn't any, but they dare not. To dare not means to only be able to suppress it in your heart, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, right?” Mrs. Liu asked.

The maidservant shook her head frantically: "No, no, no! It's just that I'm tongue-tied and can't speak well. Mistress is kind and compassionate, and she treats me with great tolerance. I have always been grateful to Mistress and never harbored any resentment!"

“Alright, stop flattering me.” Liu Dafu leaned back on the chair behind her and waved her hand.

"Now that this has happened, I'm very troubled and don't have the time to investigate who started the rumor."

"I don't even feel like watching this play anymore. You guys go pack up things, and then escort Miss back home first."

The other three maidservants quickly got up and replied, then exited the room to prepare.

The chief maidservant was still kneeling on the ground.

"What's the matter? Are you still lying on the ground and refusing to get up, do you want this mistress to personally help you?"

The maid hurriedly shook her head, scrambling to her feet: "Madam, I really didn't do it! I'm innocent..."

Mrs. Liu smirked: "Fine, I believe you. Actually, the reason I called a few of you over is simply to provide cover for the Second House. Last night, the Second House was sneaking around and peeking trying to eavesdrop. Who knows if they were heard?"

"Why don't you go help them clean up? Wipe your faces first, so that the groom doesn't notice anything suspicious!"

Mu Zichuan stayed up all night reading. He ate a small bowl of congee in the morning and went back to his room to sleep, estimated that he wouldn't wake up until after noon.

This is a test.

By the time he woke up, Douko had already left. At that point, even if his uncle heard any rumors and came to question him, he could find a way to prevaricate.

If Dou Kou were here, when that stubborn girl got mad and told the truth, there would be no way to make amends.

“I won't go, I won't go! You vile maids don't stop me, I want to see my mother and hear her tell me everything!”

The sound of Liu Doukou's voice came from outside, and she rushed into the room.

Mrs. Liu just finished washing her face and sat there rubbing her aching temples.

Liu Doukou rushed in and knelt before Madam Liu, holding her knee and looking up as she urgently begged, "Mother, I'm not going back, I want to watch the play, I want to stay and watch!"

Mrs. Liu was so angry she wanted to laugh, “Watch a play? Don’t joke around, you want to watch people, don’t you?”

Liu Doukou was startled, then shook her head. "No, that's not what I meant. I really want to watch the play..."

"A mother knows her daughter best. Don't try to argue with me, I know exactly what you're up to. You can't hide anything from your old mother." said Lady Liu.

“One word, will you come back or not? If you don't come back, you have to stay here and embarrass yourself. Don't blame me for reporting to the authorities and getting that little Jade Joy arrested. I'll have him thrown in jail! A lowly actor like him, I'll accuse him of kidnapping a virtuous woman and get him sentenced to ten or eight years!”

Dr. Liu's words, like a huge thunderclap, exploded over Liu Doukou's head.

She suddenly remembered what Xiaoyu had said last night. She hadn't believed it at first, thinking her parents couldn't possibly do such a thing, but now, she believed it.

Because of the letter, he was shocked.

Then Madam Liu continued, "If you truly like Xiaoyu, then consider him. Let him perform with peace of mind, earn money, marry and have children like a normal person, and live a few more years."

“By making such a fuss and insisting on being with him, you’re harming him. What if his voice gets hoarse, his eyes go blind, and his face is disfigured? If he loses his ability to provide for the family, how can he possibly live?”

Liu Doukou raised her eyes in astonishment once again. In Liu Daifu's eyes, she saw threat and warning.

Liu Doukou's hand loosened from Liu Daifu's knee and she collapsed to the ground, her pretty face as pale as blood!

By the time Madam Liu and Liu Doukou emerged from the room, Mu Zichuan in the west room was still sleeping soundly.

And the carriage was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Help Miss Fu into the carriage." Madam Liu instructed.

A maidservant quickly came over to support Liu Doukou towards the carriage.
