Chapter 752 - 362: Utilizing_3
Qian Yixiu said, "Eldest brother, Maternal Aunt Lian is fortunate because by confirming her mother’s supposed murder by a servant, our family has acquired one more. At the time, it was Shopkeeper Cui who strongly pushed for our family to buy..." She explained the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the Qian Hua Family, then added, "Through Qian Hua and them, perhaps we might even find other sold individuals too."
Liang Jinzhao was familiar with the Qian Hua Family but had not expected that they were once servants of the Lian family. A hint of a smile finally appeared on his face as he said, "That truly is a coincidence. Tomorrow, let them come to the mansion to discuss the matter with my father, and then meet with Maternal Aunt Lian..."
The next morning, Liang Jinzhao got up and went straight to Old Duke Liang’s courtyard for breakfast, then headed directly to his official duties.
That day also marked the third-day washing ceremony for Zhu Sujin’s three daughters. After breakfast, Qian Yixiu went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to Lady Cui and managed to get leave successfully.
In the upper room, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Lady Cui, her eyes swollen, sat in the hall, with Maternal Aunt Wu and Maternal Aunt Xi, also with swollen eyes, standing behind her, along with a beautiful, unfamiliar woman. Her eyes were also red from crying, but her expression remained indifferent.
She must be Maternal Aunt Lian.
Duke Liang, having been beaten so severely he couldn’t get out of bed, lay in the bedroom of the main courtyard. They must have come to attend to him.
Lady Cui asked a few questions about Brother Cheng and Brother Xin and, having listened to Yixiu’s report, nodded with an "Mhm."
Qian Yixiu, seeing Lady Cui’s swollen eyes, guessed her heart might not be as sorrowful as she appeared outwardly. Without love, no matter how harshly he was beaten, she wouldn’t feel too much heartache.
