Chapter 451 Liu'e's Blow
Yuan Qi has always been generous and righteous: "Since Liu E is from Yaoyuefang, she is also a member of the Yuan family. When the Yuan family withdrew from Yaoyuefang, they thought that if they withdrew all the people, it would be embarrassing for Prince Yu Duan, so unless they really wanted to leave, they would stay. Although the people who stayed behind have nothing to do with the Yuan family in name, the Yuan family should help them out because of their old friendship."
Yuan Qi's words were thoughtful, and Zhou Chang himself had no more resources to use, so he could only thank him.
Yuan Qi shook his head in disappointment: "The letter only said that her life is fine, but there is no progress in Liu'e's condition. She has suffered inhuman torture and has been greatly stimulated mentally. I'm afraid it will take a long time for her to recover."
On the second day after Liu'e was rescued, news came from the village, telling them that Liu'e's life was fine, but she had suffered a great mental trauma. She was in a daze and could hardly recognize people or know what was going on.
Therefore, Zhou Chang always reported good news to Gao Yuan but not bad news, and also stopped him from visiting Liu E.
But she couldn't keep it a secret any longer, and she was even more worried about Gao Yuan's condition: "Gao Yuan has been waiting for many days. I'm afraid if he waits any longer, he will be worried. In your opinion, should we let them meet?"
"I didn't say much before because I was worried that Liu'e's mental state was unstable and I didn't know what would happen when she met Gao Yuan." Yuan Qi frowned and thought for a moment, "If he must meet, it's fine, but both parties should be prepared."
"Then please notify them that Gao Yuan may go there at any time." Zhou Chang thought that once he told Gao Yuan the news, Gao Yuan would probably fly there immediately.
Yuan Qi nodded in agreement.
While they were talking, dinner was served.
Zhou Chang ate and chatted with Yuan Qi.
But no matter what they talked about afterwards, Zhou Chang always felt that Yuan Qi had other thoughts: "Why are you still thinking about Liu E?"
Yuan Qi put down his bowl and chopsticks: "That's true."
"You still don't think highly of them?" Zhou Chang remembered that Yuan Qi didn't seem to support them before.
Yuan Qi shook his head and sighed softly, "Alas, it's better for women to have some things of their own to do. Liu E is also a person with artistic skills. If it weren't for this incident, she could have danced for at least another three years. She should have saved up a sum of money. Now that she disappeared from Yaoyuefang so quietly, it's okay for her to have saved up money before, but how will she live in the future?"
I am only worried about Liu E.
But when it comes to this topic, Zhou Chang has no choice. Not to mention his past life, as a modern woman, she cannot even be on an equal footing with men when looking for a job, let alone in ancient times where women were not given any job opportunities at all?
Zhou Chang had the impression that the fate of prostitutes in ancient brothels was always tragic. They had no way out. Could they save money for themselves? He couldn't help but ask, "Even if she worked there for a few more years, wouldn't she just have to wait to be sold?"
Yuan Qi gave a "popular science" explanation: "Not necessarily. You can also wait a few more years until you are old and ugly but have enough capital to redeem yourself. Or you can have some money and open a small dance studio in someone's name and teach students."
"Do you just think Gao Yuan is unreliable? Or do you think he is poor?" Yuan Qi kept talking about letting Liu E do her own business. Zhou Chang felt sorry for Gao Yuan.
Yuan Qi did not answer directly, but said: "Of course, even if Liu E does not dance, she still has many things to do. After all, there are now seven or eight 'Kun Yu Fang' in Jindu City. It's a pity that I don't know how Liu E can recover from her current condition, otherwise there would be a way out."
For ancient women, Liu E following Gao Yuan was a way out. Zhou Chang wondered why Yuan Qi didn't consider this for Liu E.
"Your Highness, please have some more..." Yuan Qi served Zhou Chang some food, as if he didn't want Zhou Chang to ask any more questions.
Although Zhou Chang understood his intention to some extent, he still couldn't help but say at the end: "I believe in Gao Yuan's character. He used to treat women as ferocious as a flood or a beast, but now he has finally fallen in love and will treat Liu E wholeheartedly."
Yuan Qi seemed to no longer care, and picked up another chopstick for Zhou Chang: "If that's the case, I'm happy for Liu E. If they can get married in the future, I will definitely give Liu E a big dowry."
Afterwards, both of them unexpectedly restarted another topic.
In the following days, Gao Yuan first sneaked out of the city to see Liu E, and when he came back and asked about her situation, she didn't say a word.
Zhou Chang turned around and asked Yuan Qi again, and Yuan Qi also seemed to have something to hide.
But no matter what, Liu'e's health is getting better day by day.
By early August, Zhou Chang finally saw a smile on Gao Yuan's face, which indirectly meant that Liu E's condition must have improved greatly.
Then, Mr. Ma Zhihong's ashes were finally sent back, but Gao Yun did not return with him.
The only thing that came back with the ashes was a letter from Gao Yun, which stated that he would stay there and would not stop until he avenged Ma Zhihong.
For this reason, Zhou Chang and Gao Yuan were worried for a long time.
Zhou Chang suggested that if Gao Yuan really couldn't do it, he should go to the south in person and bring his brother back.
Gao Yuan thought about it all night and finally decided to send another group of people over, because he thought that it was right to avenge Ma Zhihong.
Zhou Chang was speechless, but Gao Yuan was half a man of the world after all, so he must have his own plans for making such a decision. She didn't have the ability to ask more questions, so she might as well let it go.
Moreover, since Zhong Yu received Ma Zhihong's ashes and sent them to the Ma family, his health has deteriorated, and Prince Yi's Mansion has one more person to worry about.
First of all, there is Aunt Jing's injury. Although it is getting better day by day, the scars on her face can't be removed no matter what. And she stays in the house all day, and I'm really worried that she will get other diseases.
The second was Uncle Qiu. Doctor Meng changed the prescription for Uncle Qiu's condition twice, but he still did not recover. Not only did his condition not improve, but it was getting worse. Doctor Meng had no solution for this and said that heart disease requires heart medicine.
Finally, there is Zhong Yu. Doctor Meng doesn't need Zhou Chang to know that this is naturally a person with a mental illness. No one can persuade him, so he can only wait quietly for Zhong Yu to come to his senses.
For this, Zhou Chang actually gave the Ma family a large sum of money as a reward.
Then as August came, Zhong Yu was the first to cheer up.
Zhong Yuyi was excited, but the one who was unlucky was the money of Prince Yi's Mansion. Fortunately, the dividends given by Yuan Qi were very generous, otherwise they would have been unable to make ends meet.
However, before Zhou Chang had time to think of a good source of goods, Mr. Zhong took the lead and remitted all the money to the south, under the pretext of carrying on his classmate's legacy.
What else could Zhou Chang say?
Afterwards, after being persuaded by everyone, Aunt Jing was finally willing to leave the house. The most important thing was that the main courtyard of the rear hall needed to be renovated, and Zhou Chang insisted on dragging Aunt Jing to participate.
In the end, only Uncle Qiu remained the same, and Zhou Chang was helpless.
