Chapter 116 Complaint

Liang Weiyuan glanced at him coldly, without any emotion in her eyes.

As early as when he left the house, Mei Shuzhushu had already discovered that he was following him stealthily.

I just didn't know what his purpose was, so I simply didn't expose him.

"I just happened to walk here and saw my eldest sister's shop, so I came here to ask for a cup of tea."

Seeing that Liang Weiyuan ignored him, Huo Siyuan didn't get angry. He walked forward with a smile, talking to himself.

He leaned forward and tried to get closer. Seeing this, Meishu and Zhushu both put their hands up to block him, their expressions revealing disgust.

Liang Weiyuan then put down the wolf-hair brush and said, "I advise you to speak frankly if you have something to say. I have to hurry to the next shop and don't have time to listen to nonsense."

Her voice was neither sarcastic nor cold, as clear as ice, and carried an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Under normal circumstances, Huo Siyuan's expression would inevitably change.

But he was extremely shameless today, and he looked around for a moment, acting mysterious and unpredictable.

"Haha, my eldest sister-in-law should also know that I have recently won the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and am currently working in the Crown Prince's residence. I have a promising future ahead of me."

After a pause, he put his hands behind his back and became more polite and serious.

Liang Weiyuan felt a little nauseous after seeing this.

"Especially recently, the Crown Prince's Mansion is in urgent need of a sum of money. If this is successful, His Royal Highness will treat us differently and treat us as guests of honor."

"I didn't want to reveal this matter, so as not to arouse the jealousy of some villains with bad intentions, but my eldest sister-in-law and I are family, and we once had a friendship, so I am willing to share this good thing with my eldest sister-in-law."

As Huo Siyuan spoke, he glanced at the account book in her hand, and greed flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that his eyes were about to stick to her, Liang Weiyuan suddenly closed the account book, and the sarcasm in her clear eyes was like frost.

"Since Second Master is dealing with such a serious matter, it would be best to discuss it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am just a woman, and I only know how to protect this small family business. I dare not interfere in the court."

Huo Siyuan's face changed slightly, he swallowed hard, and then raised his eyes from the account.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so reserved? If you're willing to give me some money, once I succeed and gain the Crown Prince's trust, then when he ascends the throne, I'll be a loyal follower of the Dragon, and you'll also benefit from it."

Liang Weiyuan suddenly chuckled, her laughter was crisp but carried a biting chill.

"Second Master, instead of being the legitimate second son, chose to imitate that clown, climbing up the social ladder everywhere, hoping to gain the title of the emperor's successor."

"Are you really not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue away, let alone ruining the Huo family's reputation?"

Huo Siyuan took a deep breath and said patiently: "Don't disbelieve it..."

"If we're talking about honor, my husband, clad in armor, defended our country on the battlefield, braved danger deep within the enemy camp, and made great contributions to the court. Every scar on his body is a glory earned at the cost of his life."

"On the other hand, the Second Master keeps saying that he is highly regarded by the Crown Prince, but he can't even come up with a decent job."

"You're dressed up like a gentleman and pretending to be nice, and you expect me to give you real money to fill your superficial prestige? Do you even deserve to be called a piggyback?"

The last words were filled with irony, mercilessly tearing off Huo Siyuan's mask.

Huo Siyuan's smile froze on his face for a moment. He stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, bloodshot in his eyes in an instant.

Liang Weiyuan actually dared to belittle him like this!

Liang Weiyuan was too lazy to look at it anymore. He turned around and sat back at the table. He picked up the wolf-hair brush and continued to check the accounts. His voice was as disgusted as if he was shooing away flies.

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back. The shop needs to take inventory, and I don't have the time to entertain you."

"Liang Weiyuan, are you really going to watch someone die without helping?" He asked with a resentful look on his face, gritting his teeth.

Liang Weiyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Meishu, go to the accounting office and get some money."

Huo Siyuan's eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy. She agreed?!

But the next moment, the woman's voice was teasing and mocking: "Give it to the beggar at the door."

"You!" Huo Siyuan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with anger.

His bloodshot eyes made him rush forward, but Zhu Shu took the lead, snorted, and drew his sword.

Knowing he was no match for his opponent, Huo Siyuan stopped with a look of ugliness on his face, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Okay, okay, you guys, how dare you play tricks on me like this!"

His face was sinister, and his bloodshot eyes glared at Liang Weiyuan. "Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being disloyal. Just wait!"

"Miss, what do you think the Second Master wants us to wait for?"

After the others left in a hurry, Zhu Shu spat at his back with disdain, but couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Liang Weiyuan raised her eyes with a half-smile, "What else can he do? He can only find someone to complain to."

She didn't take the superficial strength and bluffing tactics seriously.

When Liang Weiyuan stepped into the hanging flower gate of the marquis' mansion, the sun was already setting.

Just as she passed the winding corridor, she saw two figures waiting for her in front of the main hall.

"Wei Yuan is back. Are you tired from checking the accounts today?" Marquis Huo stroked his beard and was the first to greet him with concern. Huo Siyuan was standing beside him.

Meishu and Zhushu looked at each other immediately, both showing contempt.

This second master is really shameless in filing a complaint.
