Chapter 197 She Has a Good Life

Jing'an Marquis Mansion in the morning.

Mrs. Liang, who received the news of the death from the princess's mansion, was asking someone to invite Liang You back to accompany her to pay her respects.

Liang You has just returned to Beijing after being away for a few months.

Because his parents missed him, Mrs. Liang let him go home and stay for a few days.

As a result, Liang You did not come back, but people from the palace came.

After a few words, the visitor took away the Marquis's letter and told her to wait for news at home.

When Liang You came back, he saw the marquis's wife was walking around the room.

"lady."

"Liang You! Someone from the emperor's side came and asked me to write a petition to request that you be given the title." Mrs. Liang said anxiously with a complicated expression.

"Really?!" Liang You was overjoyed. Over the past year, his wife and he had been working towards this goal. "But... why would the emperor take the initiative to bring this up?"

"I don't understand it either, so I didn't ask."

Although the Marquis's wife had plans and had chosen Liang You, Liang You did not disappoint her expectations.

However, it is not easy for the emperor to approve a hereditary title, especially one that comes with military power.

It is not uncommon to find faults and not allow the product to continue.

Moreover, some families do not have legitimate sons, and even illegitimate sons are not allowed to inherit the title.

What's more, the Liang family is the heir...

You must be fully prepared before you speak to the emperor.

The original plan was: Liang You would lead the Liang Family Army in the competition next summer. If he could achieve good results, he would apply to the Emperor. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was willing to help, he would have a reason to ask.

Liang You went out a few days ago to arrange this series of things.

But I didn’t expect that the emperor would take the initiative to send someone. Why?

Neither of them had time to pay their respects. They just kept talking while waiting for news, feeling nervous as to what would happen next.

He then said that this should be a very long process, but unexpectedly, the imperial edict arrived after a short while.

Liang Youcheng was crowned the Lord!

He didn't even go through the adoption process, and he inherited the title?!

Madam Hou and Liang You knelt down to express their gratitude and were overjoyed.

However, there was another marriage decree: to marry the granddaughter of the Grand Princess, Princess Wenfang, to Marquis Jing'an Liang You as his wife. She was given the title of Second Rank Imperial Concubine. The Grand Princess was to marry within three months of mourning.

Madam Liang and Liang You were shocked again... They looked at each other, suppressed their emotions, and sent away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

The two of them sat down and were silent for a long while...

Liang You was in a daze, but Mrs. Liang was already furious!

Why is it never ending?!

Is there no one who wants County Lady Wenfang? !

Princess Fengcheng, you are so shameless! You deserve to die!

And dying on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is really annoying...

His chest was heaving, and he was shaking with anger...

"Madam..." Liang You felt complicated and couldn't keep a straight face. He turned to look at Madam...her face was pale.

I just remembered: this county lady was originally engaged to my cousin...

"Ma'am, please don't be angry."

But when the Marquis's wife thought of Liang Qian, tears started streaming down her face. "I feel so sad for Qian'er. He's gone, and you can't let him rest in peace? I feel sorry for you too... Such a good thing turned out like this! I was wondering what the emperor meant, but I didn't expect him to be waiting here.

We have clearly made good preparations, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi also said that he would take care of it... It will be a legitimate inheritance! Now, it seems like we have accepted the favor of the Princess's Mansion.

This is simply outrageous! She wants to get married during the mourning period... Damn old woman, she should die sooner or later..."

Seeing his wife like this, Liang You could only suppress his emotions: "Madam, the imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed. Let's think about what to do..."

"What should we do?" The Marquis's wife had a grim smile on her face: "Humph... you should go find Uncle Cheng first and take care of Chengjue's affairs. We didn't expect this before, so we are very busy. It's the New Year, and the house will be lively..."

"The princess's mansion..."

"I don't have time to go!" said the Marquis's wife coldly.

Watching Liang You leave the door...

Humph! Do you think that entering my Liang family is a good thing?

You are going to force me to become a wicked mother-in-law!

…

In the princess's residence, Madam Zhang was still exchanging witty remarks with Mo Yi.

"During the Chinese New Year, I would like to invite the Queen, Mr. Mo, and my sisters to come to my house as guests. I wonder if the Queen would be willing to do me the honor?"

Mo Yi said embarrassedly: "Thank you Madam Zhang for your kindness. But, you also know that I just got married. This is my first time to celebrate the New Year in the palace. I don’t know what arrangements the palace and the prince have made. I am afraid that it will conflict with the banquet date of Madam’s family."

"That's not a problem. Your Majesty, go back and make arrangements. We'll do it on any day you're free. There won't be outsiders, only relatives and friends... The Mo family will also send out invitations."

This... Mo Yi was a little embarrassed and could only nod, "That's fine..."

Just as he finished speaking, the imperial edict arrived.

Everyone stood quietly in the distance, watching the people in the princess's mansion take the lead.

He spoke of his affirmation of the princess and the arrangements for her after death, and gave her some preferential treatment. However, the eldest princess would no longer be able to enjoy the salary. The princess could still live in the mansion for another three years, and when her own house was ready, she had to vacate it.

After talking for a long time, there was one more thing at the end: a marriage was granted to Princess Wenfang.

Jing'an Marquis Liang You! ?

Mo Yi's face turned pale when he heard this.

Marquis Jing'an... Brother Liang You inherited the title? As soon as he was happy...

Wenfang County is mainly his wife?

This...how could this happen?

It was obviously a great thing, so why was he given such a daughter-in-law?

Princess Wenfang, with ordinary looks, shallow and arrogant. She does things without measure...

How to be worthy of Brother Liang You?

I saw two maids helping Princess Wenfang up and walking towards the backyard.

Judging from her calm look, she must have known about it in advance.

This is a mixed blessing...I feel so sorry for him.

On the way home, Madam Zhao told Li Jing about this matter, "It seems that Princess Fengcheng asked for favors from the emperor."

"The Liang family originally planned to wait for Liang You to show some real skills during the martial arts competition next summer, and then ask for a title. I didn't expect that my father would intervene like this..."

Looking at Mo Yi, he found that his young wife looked very unhappy and felt funny: "Why are you so serious?"

Mo Yi felt guilty when asked, but she was honest, "I have met County Lady Wenfang twice, and I feel that she is arrogant and powerful, but also ignorant. Can she take on the responsibility of a marquis' wife..."

"She is loved by Princess Fengcheng, and for her...she is so impatient. Alas..." Nanny Zhao sighed, and seeing Mo Yi looking at her eagerly, she told her about how she was in a hurry to distance herself from the matter as soon as Liang Qian died.

After hearing this, Mo Yi became even more anxious: This family does things dishonestly and is fickle, how can they be worthy of Liang You?

But she couldn't say this anymore.

"Mrs. Xu is a woman of foresight. Although the marriage is already a foregone conclusion, with her in charge...it's not too bad." Nanny Zhao said.

"Madam Zhao, I plan to take Mo Yi and Xiang Xiang to Zhou's house tomorrow to meet the Zhou family and give them a New Year gift. You can come too."

"yes."

At night, before going to bed, Li Jing saw that Mo Yi was still a little depressed, so he teased her: "What? Are you still worried about your brother Liang You?"

Mo Yi blushed, "What are you talking about... I'm not worried about Liang You. It's just... Madam Hou is generous and decent, and Brother Liang You is also a good person. But County Lady Wenfang... her life is too good. You saw it last time... her behavior is despicable."

"Little girl, that's all you can think of..." Li Jing yawned, "Luckily you're not like that... Go to sleep!"

That night, Mo Yi slept very uneasily.

Liang You's shadow always flashed before her eyes, making her feel sad and bitter...
