571 Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind


    The Liu family was even stricter when it came to family rules.


    Both Madam Wei and Mr. Liu asked Liu Dng and Liu Eng to swear that such a family-destroying thing must not ever happen in their family. Whether the Liu family was poor or prosperous in the future, it must and should not happen.


    As a woman, Madam Wei knew very well that life would be prosperous if the family was harmonious.


    No woman would be magnanimous enough to share her husband with others. If men wanted peace at home, they could not have concubines or illegitimate children.


    !!


    Liu Sanniang nodded. Changes happened everywhere. She hoped that her eldest and second brothers could remain the same.


    Seeing how unhappy Liu Eng was, Su Yanyu said, “Brother Eng, tell me what’s bothering you. Perhaps I can help you.”


    Liu Eng, indeed, needed someone to talk to. He sighed. “Something happened to the Ye family. Niuniu’s father brought back a woman and a daughter from outside. If they stayed in the Ye family, how painful would it be to Niuniu?”


    Su Yanyu paused for a moment before asking. “Then, what does the Ye family n to do? Are they going to keep them?”


    Liu Eng answered with aplicated expression. “I definitely hope that those two won’t stay. I don’t know what the Ye family thinks. I’m going to ask tomorrow.”


    Liu Eng couldn’t sleep at all. He was thinking about Ye Niuniu.


    Su Yanyu knew that Ye Niuniu was his fiancée. He thought for a moment and said, “Brother Eng, if you see Niuniu and she’s still worried about it, tell her this.”


    Liu Eng listened attentively.


    Su Yanyu said, “That woman doesn’t have long to live, right? The child is about the same age as Niuniu. That woman only wanted to seek shelter for her daughter. That’s simple. Marry that woman to someone else. The Ye family will prepare a sum of money as a dowry. Out of sight, out of mind.”


    Liu Eng frowned. “What if that woman doesn’t agree?”


    Su Yanyu smiled. “Brother Eng, listen to me. That woman said that she only has one or two years to live, right? What if she’s lying? It’s impossible for this matter to be resolved in a short period of time. The most important thing is not to care about why she appeared out of nowhere, but how to resolve this matter. If that woman dies in a year or two and her daughter also gets married, she might note back to the Ye family anymore.”


    “After all, she didn’t grow up in the Ye family and doesn’t have any feelings for them, so she naturally can’t integrate into the Ye family.”


    When Liu Eng heard Su Yanyu’s exnation, he felt that it made sense. He touched his head and was a little troubled. “Your scenario is all based on the fact that that woman is willing to marry someone else. What if she objects?”


    Su Yanyu smiled. “That’s even simpler. Kick her out.”


    Liu Eng was dumbfounded. “Really? Can they do that?”


    Su Yanyu nodded. “There’s only one legitimate wife. No matter how much the concubines are doted upon, they can’t do anything. The legitimate wife has the full right to punish them. If the woman is not even considered a concubine, it’s even simpler. Arranging a marriage for her is doing her a favor. If she doesn’t know what’s good for her, it’s only right to kick her out.”


    Su Yanyu was a little smug. He had finally made himself useful.


    Liu Eng looked at Su Yanyu and asked. “Your family is quite rich, right?”


    Liu Eng felt that if Su Yanyu didn’t grow up in this kind of environment, he would not have such an insight.


    Su Yanyu cleared his throat. “Actually, my father is the Marquis, and my mother is the first wife.”


    Liu Sanniang did not tell her family about Su Yanyu’s identity because Su Yanyu wanted to stay and leave for the capital together with her. She did not tell them because she did not want Su Yanyu to feel ill at ease, nor did she want her family to feel ufortable.


    After saying that, Su Yanyu continued. “Brother Eng, my identity is not important. The important thing is the Ye family. It’s actually not a big deal and easy to resolve.”


    Liu Eng patted Su Yanyu on the shoulder. “Good brother, I’ll remember this favor.”


    Su Yanyu smiled. “Brother Eng, sleep early.”


    Liu Eng nodded.


    The Liu family was very easy-going. Su Yanyu couldn’t help but wonder if he could acknowledge Madam Wei as his godmother even if he couldn’t be Liu Sanniang’s disciple.


    This way, he could be Liu Sanniang’s brother…


    This idea was a little bold, but it was always good to have a backup n.


    Liu Eng, who was looking forward to the next day, quickly fell asleep.


    Su Yanyu was also asleep, but he was a light sleeper and would be woken up by Liu Eng’s snores from time to time. However, after waking up, he would smile instead of ring up.


    He did not have any brothers, and he had never been so close to anyone. He got along with Liu Eng very well during the past couple of days. During the day, he would go to work with Liu Eng and walk the dog with him. Every small thing made him feel happy.


    …


    The next morning, Liu Eng went to the Ye family’s house early.


    Su Yanyu woke up early. After breakfast, he took General ck out.


    Li Guanfeng sent someone from the magistrate’s office to invite Liu Sanniang over for dinner.


    Liu Sanniang brought Hu Yu along.


    Hu Yu walked beside Liu Sanniang and smiled. “Venerable, your hometown is really good.”


    Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yong County is indeed a good ce.”


    Hu Yu looked at themonersing and going. “House spirits don’t seem to be a norm here.”


    Liu Sanniang smiled. “Every ce has its customs.”


    When they arrived at the magistrate’s office, Liming and Ligui looked at Liu Sanniang and said respectfully, “Miss Liu, Magistrate Wei and Miss are in the backyard.”


    When Ligui and Liming saw Hu Yu, they felt a little uneasy and lowered their heads unnaturally.
