Chapter 343: Beaten into a Pig's Head

"I don't."

Liang Yongan felt a sharp pain in his body and subconsciously retorted, "You can't listen to other people's slander. How could I harm my mother and Zhuzhu?"

"I only blame myself for not listening enough. I was always thinking about my six children. Now that you're the only one left, I can't bear to see your mother suffer any more, so I turned a blind eye to many things."

The old marquis strode towards Liang Yongan. Every step he took was like an earth-shaking force in Liang Yongan's heart, and he couldn't help but shrink back.

“Although you are not as capable as your brothers, at least you are well-behaved, filial to your parents, and kind to your two children.

The Fusu siblings often praise you as a good father in front of me. Because of this, although I feel that Zhuzhu's accident is strange, I still believe what you say.

I have killed countless people in my life and have seen all kinds of hell, but I never thought that my son would kill his own daughter.

After that, you had a mistress. Although it was not proper, fortunately you did not get involved with other women and you treated Fu Su as well as before.

The concubine's son fell into the water and nearly died. You said that Fusu couldn't tolerate his younger brother. I believe Fusu is not that kind of villain, but I still did not interfere in the feud between you and your son.

It was because Fu Su told me that if they separated as you wished, perhaps some father-son affection could still remain. He had lost his mother and his sister, and he didn't want to continue to fight with his father to the point of life and death, so he gave in.

I was also thinking that your mother and I are old, how long can we stay with him? After all, you are his father, but you actually wrote a letter to sever ties with him.

At that time, I wanted to ask the Queen to take away your title and give it directly to Fu Su. It was Fu Su who knelt before me and pleaded for you, and your mother also spoke well of you in every possible way.

But you have let down your son and even more so your mother.

This time, you poisoned your mother in order to harm others. You always defended your mother. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?

Liang Yongan was shocked and said hurriedly, "I am innocent. I did not poison my mother. It was the Crown Princess who wanted to harm my mother. It has nothing to do with me."

"You're still quibbling!" The old marquis punched him again. Liang Yongan's face, which he took good care of, swelled up like a pig's head under this iron punch.

At this age, he was still beaten by his father, and in front of his rebellious son and outsiders. In a trance, he seemed to hear Qingwu's gloating sneer.

Liang Yongan was furious. "You have no evidence. How can you say that my son poisoned me? You are still like before, preferring to believe others rather than me."

"I pride myself on my ability to judge people, but you have deceived me for decades. I am blind and have brought trouble upon my grandchildren."

The old marquis didn't look at him again. He turned back to the house and asked in a deep voice, "Have you given up now?"

Following his words, Qing Wu also looked into the house, only to see the old lady of Zhenbei Marquis walking out tremblingly, supported by two old maids.

Tears wet her wrinkled face. She looked at Liang Yongan and asked, "Did you kill Zhuzhu?"

Not long after the Crown Princess left, it was time for her to take medicine. When she picked up the bowl to drink as usual, Wei Shijun suddenly appeared and stopped her, saying that the medicine was poisonous.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Xi hurriedly caught a wild cat, and sure enough, the wild cat fainted soon after.

She was shocked. How could her medicine be poisonous? What shocked her even more was Wei Shijun's next words. It was her son Liang Yongan who poisoned her.

How could she believe it? Wei Shijun said that Zhuzhu's soul was trapped and could not be reborn. As long as she cooperated with the acting, the Crown Princess would help Zhuzhu.

She cooperated and saw with her own eyes that her son smeared poison on the portrait when no one was paying attention. He then insisted that it was the Crown Princess who poisoned it. She was heartbroken.

But there was still a glimmer of fantasy until I saw everything in front of me.

Liang Yongan was shocked that the old lady had woken up. With the doctors from the Great Wei guarding her, he had no chance to give her the antidote. So he thought of going all out and delaying it for a few months. His mother would pass away on her own. After all, she would have lived a long life.

But the person who should have been unconscious stood in front of him and asked such a question. He quickly knelt down and said, "No, mother, I have never done such a thing. I was foolish and wanted to beat my son to death. You can't be foolish too..."

"I ask you, did you kill your daughter Zhuzhu?" The old lady shouted with all her might, interrupting Liang Yongan's sophistry.

The Crown Princess came to visit unexpectedly and left her sister to protect her secretly. However, her son poisoned the Crown Princess because of her appearance and made trouble in the Crown Prince's Mansion. This series of events made her doubt whether Zhuzhu's death was related to her son.

She asked Wei Shijun, but the girl just said, "It's too tragic, I can't say it, ask your son."

How cruel must it be to make an outsider unable to say anything?

The old lady was shaking so violently that she was almost supported by the two people behind her.

Liang Yongan still insisted on denying, "My son doesn't have it."

"Then who is she?" The old lady pointed at Concubine Yue, "She is the late emperor's most favored concubine. I'm not presbyopic yet, so I can recognize her. When did you two get together?

Did you kill Zhuzhu because she caught you in an affair? Tell me, is that true or not?"

Liang Yongan shook his head.

The old lady closed her eyes and said, "Come here, the second young lady is disrespectful to Grandmother and has poisoned my medicine. She will be punished according to the family rules."

"No!" Yuepin exclaimed, "You can't hit my daughter. She is also your granddaughter."

The old lady's eyelids were very heavy. She lifted them with all her strength and looked at Yuepin with a fierce look in her eyes. "Zhuzhu is also my granddaughter. Her mother died early, and my daughter died in childbirth, which took half my life. Zhuzhu was raised by my side. She is my granddaughter, my daughter, my hope, and my life.

But you killed her, and I am only repaying her with my life."

"We don't."

Concubine Yue and Liang Yongan said in unison.

They absolutely cannot admit it.

"Whether there is one or not, dig out the body from the Liang family's ancestral tomb and you will know everything." Wei Qingyan walked in from outside with his hands behind his back.

Qingwu found Yuepin, and the old marquis believed in her third sister, which was faster than she expected. Therefore, the plan to go to the Lin family's ancestral tomb tonight had to be postponed temporarily.

"You, the princess of the Great Wei, are meddling in these affairs. Are you hoping to take advantage of the internal turmoil in Feng Zhao?"

Wei Qingyan's appearance made Liang Yongan extremely panicked.

"Weren't you the one who dragged me into this?"

Wei Qingyan stood in front of him, looking down at him with murderous intent in his eyes, "You know it well whether you are accusing me of murdering the old lady to cover up the fact that you murdered your own daughter or you have other purposes.

I have come here today to fulfill Liang Fuzhu's dream request, asking the old marquis to allow the Jingzhao prefect to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, so that the true murderer can be brought to justice."

This is Liang Fuzhu's true obsession, but if she wants to take revenge, she will inevitably have to make public the matter between Liang Yongan and Yuepin. She hates Liang Yongan, but does not want the entire Liang family to be implicated by him.

He couldn't bear to see his elderly grandparents suffer a shock after knowing the truth, so he was torn between revenge and not taking revenge. Finally, unable to bear this torture, he chose to escape and forget everything.

But he was unwilling to die in vain, so he wasted his time in the human world, exhausting himself until only a remnant soul was left, and his soul was almost torn apart.
