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 Dalang and Liu Erlang 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 Erlang was, Su Yanyu said, “Brother Erlang, tell me what’s bothering you. Perhaps I can help you.”
Liu Erlang, 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 plan to do? Are they going to keep them?”
Liu Erlang answered with a complicated 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 Erlang 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 Erlang, if you see Niuniu and she’s still worried about it, tell her this.”
Liu Erlang 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 Erlang frowned. “What if that woman doesn’t agree?”
Su Yanyu smiled. “Brother Erlang, 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 not come 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 Erlang heard Su Yanyu’s explanation, 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 Erlang 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 Erlang looked at Su Yanyu and asked. “Your family is quite rich, right?”
Liu Erlang 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 uncomfortable.
After saying that, Su Yanyu continued. “Brother Erlang, my identity is not important. The important thing is the Ye family. It’s actually not a big deal and easy to resolve.”
Liu Erlang patted Su Yanyu on the shoulder. “Good brother, I’ll remember this favor.”
Su Yanyu smiled. “Brother Erlang, sleep early.”
Liu Erlang 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 become 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 plan.
Liu Erlang, 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 Erlang’s snores from time to time. However, after waking up, he would smile instead of flaring up.
He did not have any brothers, and he had never been so close to anyone. He got along with Liu Erlang very well during the past couple of days. During the day, he would go to work with Liu Erlang and walk the dog with him. Every small thing made him feel happy.
…
The next morning, Liu Erlang went to the Ye family’s house early.
Su Yanyu woke up early. After breakfast, he took General Black 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 place.”
Hu Yu looked at the commoners coming and going. “House spirits don’t seem to be a norm here.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Every place 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.
