###Chapter 8: Every day, when Liu Yanmo returned to the mansion, Huang Ziqian would prepare some desserts and help him practice on the side with inkstones. Every time Huang Zhiqian came to Liu Yan's study, Chang Gui would find an excuse to leave tactfully. Liu Yan and Huang Ziqian also got along well with each other. On this day, Cao'er had accidentally walked past the room. When she heard the laughter of the two of them coming from the study, she was so angry that she deliberately made a loud noise to interrupt their laughter. When Yellow Twig saw that it was Mao'er, she intentionally acted more intimate with Liu Yan, "Cousin, I'm tired from practicing. Come and eat an osmanthus cake." As she spoke, she took a piece and handed it to Liu Yan's mouth. Seeing this, Cao'er went angrily to look for Liu Changgui. Liu Yanyue took a step back to keep his distance and reached out to take the Osmanthus Cake. "Thank you." He looked out of the door and looked at Cao'er's angry back with a puzzled look. "What's wrong with Cao'er?" The smile on the face of Zhiyuan disappeared. But then she smiled again and said, "Who knows what's wrong with her. She is clumsy. Come on, cousin, let's continue to write a word 'tsk'." "Okay!" Liu Yan HRC picked up his writing brush and began to dance on the paper again. As she looked at the other characters, the corners of her mouth lifted and a smile appeared in her eyes. When Cao'er found Liu Changgui, he was standing idly in front of the willow tree, weaving the willow branches. With an angry face, Grassy went forward without knowing what was wrong with her, "You are cousin's servant. You didn't serve him in the study, but unexpectedly, you came here to slack off. Do you know that your master is practicing calligraphy in the study now? How can there be such a lazy servant like you? Do you know how to serve your master?" Liu Changgui looked at the angry grass and was confused. However, as a servant, he hated it the most when others said that he would not serve the master and he was lazy. He loosened the willow branch and argued with the grass, "Who do you say is lazy? Who doesn't know how to serve the master? It was Miss Cousin who sent me here. She said she would practice calligraphy with the young master. It's none of my business." Cao'er glared at Liu Changgui. "Are you Second Miss' or Childe Ling'er's servant? Who did you listen to?" Liu Changgui glanced at her and said, "What does it have to do with you if you're sick? Is there any need for you to worry about it?" Then he turned around and left, not caring about grass. Seeing Liu Changgui leave, Cao'er stamped her feet in anger and turned around, running towards Siyu Temple. Xia Xi saw the unhappy expression on Cao'er's face and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What's going on? Is there a unhappy expression on your face?" "Shame on you, Second Miss. She ran into your study and even fed you. You're a man and a woman, and you're not afraid of being seen, so you let others talk. And Liu Changgui, he deliberately threw himself to them and didn't serve them. Instead, he went to the willow tree to make a willow branch and play. He's a three-year-old kid!" Cao'er was so angry that her little face turned red. She gasped and her chest, which had just developed, started to rise and fall. Xia Keke couldn't help but laugh. "That's it! It's not worth it. I'm angry with you. They can do whatever they want! To be honest, if they can be together, I'll be free. Haha, Miss, I'm happy now." "Miss... How can you do this! Son-in-law has been married to you before!" Xiaocao was really pissed off by her miss. Miss Liu had been meditating here all the time. She didn't know what the rumors were about in the mansion. They were saying that Miss Liu became an abandoned woman as soon as she got married. If Liu Yan's Metallic Group really got along well with Miss Qin, Miss Liu would lose face. "Well, well, help me to copy the book! Don't be unhappy over such a thing." Xia Tuo pulled the sleeve of grass and begged. Looking at her miss, Grassy couldn't help but laugh helplessly. She really couldn't do anything to this First Miss, so she sat down obediently to accompany her to transcribe the book. There was indeed no air-tight wall in the world. The news that Huang Siqi often stayed alone in the study with Liu Yan Yunfei had been spread to the ears of Mr. Huang. As for how to spread the news to Mr. Huang, there was a lot of controversy. According to Grassy's report, there were only two possibilities in Xia analysis, one was that Mr. Huang broke it himself, and the other was that third lady, Mr. Zhang, pointed it out. Even if Mrs. Liu knew, she wouldn't be so stupid to tell the old man. At most, she would privately educate him. Even if the servants liked to gossip, they dared not to talk about their masters, let alone this ugly thing. Wasn't she afraid that the old man would kill her for the sake of his daughter's face? In ancient times, it was common for servants to die in a big family. Huang Siqi knelt on the ground in the upper room, and Liu Yan stood by the side. Elder Huang was sitting in the middle, and the Liu and Zhang were sitting on both sides. There were only five people in the upper room, and the door was locked. It was quiet outside. The servants were sent to somewhere else, and no one was listening. Huang Mojie looked pale and threw out a stack of paper. The paper floated in front of Huang Xiaoqian and Liu Yan, "What is this? Explain it to me." Liu Yanze frowned and was confused. "I practiced my calligraphy! There's nothing special!" "You practiced the characters? The other characters are not easy to practice. Take a look at them yourself." Huang Jie was really angry. It was the first time that Liu Yanxue saw her uncle lose his temper. He picked up the paper on the ground and read it. His face sank and he couldn't clear his throat. "This, this, uncle, you can't read it like this. I wrote a lot of other words, which are just for the sake of justice and only said these words." Huang Jue had been in the officialdom for several years, and he had seen all kinds of people. He could tell whether what he said was true or not. It seemed that Liu Yan was not lying. Then, it should be that Zhi Qian deliberately left these few pieces behind. "Zhiqian, why are you saying these words in your room?" Huang Shanjie asked with a serious face. Jun Qian's heart was in a mess. She didn't know who dug these papers out. She remembered clearly that she had collected them well. How did she end up in her father's hands? Until now, she didn't want to be so cunning. She remembered that Huang Shan had told her that she had missed an opportunity to be with Liu Yan, Liu Yan, and Li Tianlan. Would her father help him and Liu Yan carry out the cooperation plan? It wasn't that she didn't doubt Huang Shan's words, but she understood Huang Shan's feelings. She didn't have the heart to make up such a story. Thinking of this, she decided to gamble. No matter if she won or lost, she would bear the consequences. "Yes! These words were written by my cousin, and I also picked them out of his practice. I like my cousin since I was a child." After saying that, she looked up at Liu Yanjing with her eyes full of affection. She did not believe that Liu Yanjing had no feelings for her at all. Liu Yan HRC looked at her blankly. "How could this happen? What did he do to make his cousin misunderstand?" Startled, Mrs. Liu didn't believe that her daughter would have such an idea. She got up and walked over, "Zhiqian, don't talk nonsense. Do you know how serious your words are?" Zhang Enterprise sat quietly like still water, as if she had long known the result. She slowly picked up the tea next to her and took a sip, her eyes falling on Huang Jie. She wanted to see how Huang Jie Jie handled this matter. Huang Shan was stunned. Even if he didn't believe it, he had to. It turned out that Yao Shan wasn't lying. His face turned ashen. "You, you... Why are you so shameless? Don't you know that he's your brother-in-law?" "I know, but I like Liu Yan's institution. It has nothing to do with who he is." Liu Yan HRC was somewhat helpless. He looked at Guan Qian and said, "Zi Qian, I have always treated you as my sister. I really don't mean anything to you." Hearing Liu Yanjin's words, Jun Qian's heart instantly turned cold. She said with a face of disbelief, "What? I don't believe it. If you have no feelings for me, why would you comfort me when you see me crying? Why would you talk to me about everything?" "I, I will comfort you because you are my cousin? I chat with you because you are my cousin!" Liu Yan didn't expect that he would let her misunderstand. In order not to make the matter bigger, he decided to let her understand, "Zhiqian, I have always regarded you as my sister, and now I am your brother-in-law! I, we are impossible." Huang Juejie could tell from their conversation that this was only a wishful thinking. He couldn't possibly force Liu Yan to marry Zhi Qian again. That would be too much of a grievance for his two daughters. "You're saying that you don't like Huang Shan, right? Aren't you running away from marriage? Didn't you never admit that she's your wife? Why do you admit it now?" Huang Zhixuan looked at Liu Yan Monastic in disbelief and asked repeatedly. Liu Yan HRC felt helpless. "Can I change it? Since ancient times, he believed that marriage is the marriage between parents. I am your brother-in-law. This is an unchangeable fact." As he said this, Liu Yan HRC threw the paper in his hand on the ground again and tried to show a little determination. Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on her face. She looked at the papers on the ground and said, "Holding your hand and growing old with you... Haha, how ridiculous I am! How ridiculous." Huang Shanjie was also uncomfortable to see Zhiqian like this. He waved his hand at Mrs. Liu and said, "Take her away!" Madam Liu quickly helped Zhiqian up, her heart aching. She sat on the ground, crying and laughing. "Zhiqian, get up. Mother will send you back to your room." Liu Yanlei was about to turn around and leave, but Huang Dongjie stopped him. "You're right. Wait a minute." Liu Yanze stopped and felt flustered. He couldn't guess what his uncle was going to tell him. He slowly turned around and looked at Huang Dongjie with a slightly timid look. The Zhang family walked over to Huang Kujie and said, "Master, let's go back to the capital city now! Gu Qian will forget it in a few days if she doesn't hear about it." Huang Tanjie gave a light sigh. Was there any other way? He didn't know if the matter in the capital had been solved or not. If he were to go back like this, he might run into trouble. Liu Yanjing thought the best way at this time was to leave Huang's Family. She didn't have to feel embarrassed when she couldn't see Jun Qian. "Uncle, I will take Qu'an back to the capital. My father must have been in a hurry to drink his wife's tea."
