Liang Fushan pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter does require careful consideration. I will seriously discuss your proposal with my mother. However, this involves Ruoshu's life and health after all, so we must make sure to make the decision that is best for her."
Mrs. Zhang Wang nodded, expressing her understanding. "I understand your concerns. I know Shu'er's physical condition better than anyone else. I believe that resting in my hometown will greatly benefit her recovery. Of course, I will also respect your and your mother's decision."
"Okay, mother-in-law. I will discuss this matter with my mother as soon as possible and give you a clear answer." Liang Fushan said.
Zhang Wangshi warned again, "Remember, only discuss this with your mother. Avoid letting anyone else know, especially your grandmother. I'm not being disrespectful to her, I just don't want to cause any more trouble."
Liang Fushan nodded in agreement: "I understand what you mean. Please rest assured that I will handle it carefully."
The two chatted for a while about family matters, and then Zhang Wang said goodbye and left.
Liang Fushan watched his mother-in-law's carriage go away, and a sense of inexplicable melancholy welled up in his heart. He knew that no matter what the final decision was, it was all for Ruoshu's well-being.
After returning to the mansion, Liang Fushan did not stop and went directly to his mother, Xiao Zhang's residence. However, before he arrived, the maid hurried over to report: "Master, the old lady is in the young lady's room, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking together."
Liang Fushan nodded slightly, indicating his understanding, and then changed direction, heading towards Zhang Ruoshu's room. He couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. Seeing the harmony in the family and the harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the most gratifying thing for him.
He gently pushed open the door of the wing room and saw Xiao Zhang and Zhang Ruoshu sitting at the table. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Zhang Ruoshu was in an especially good mood today. Seeing her husband come back, she smiled brightly.
"Fu Shan, you're back." Madam Zhang spoke first, her tone revealing her love for her son. "Did everything go smoothly at court today?"
"Everything is fine, mother." Liang Fushan responded, turning his gaze to Zhang Ruoshu, "Ruoshu, you look well."
Zhang Ruoshu smiled softly, picked up the calligraphy on the table, and handed it to Liang Fushan: "Take a look, this is the calligraphy I copied today, have you made any progress?"
Liang Fushan took the copybook and carefully reviewed it. After a while, he raised his head, his eyes gleaming with admiration: "Ruoshu, your handwriting is getting better and better."
Hearing her husband's praise, Zhang Ruoshu showed a shy and happy smile on her face.
Little Zhang also smiled: "Ruoshu is already very smart and quick to understand. I just need to give her some pointers and she will be able to grasp the mystery."
Liang Fushan looked at the warm relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, took a deep breath, and finally told his mother-in-law Zhang Wang about her proposal.
"Mother, Ruoshu, I have something I want to discuss with you. My mother-in-law came to me today and suggested that Ruoshu go to her hometown, Gusu, to recuperate for a while, saying that the environment there might be good for her health."
After hearing this, Zhang Ruoshu's eyes flashed with nostalgia: "Gusu, where there are small bridges and flowing water, and the scenery is picturesque. I went to my grandparents' home when I was a child. It is indeed a good place to raise a person."
She turned to look at Liang Fushan, "I also think that going there to recuperate for a while may relieve your burden, and you don't have to worry about me all the time."
Liang Fushan gently held Zhang Ruoshu's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "Your health is the most important thing. If you are willing to go to Gusu, I will naturally support you."
Xiao Zhang listened from the side and began to consider the feasibility of this proposal. She looked at her son and daughter-in-law and asked softly, "So you and your mother-in-law want Ruoshu to go to Gusu to recuperate?"
"Yes, mother." Liang Fushan nodded. "Mother-in-law made this suggestion out of consideration for Ruoshu's health. I'd like to hear your opinion."
Madam Zhang pondered for a moment, then said, "Gusu is indeed a good place, with beautiful scenery and picturesque landscapes. It should be very helpful for recuperation. However, I am still a little worried about Ruoshu going there alone."
Hearing this, Liang Fushan's heart moved: "Mother, are you willing to accompany Ruoshu to Gusu? With you around, Ruoshu can be better taken care of."
Madam Zhang looked at her son with some surprise, then smiled. "That's a good suggestion. I don't have many friends in the capital right now, so I just spend my days in this courtyard, spending time with Ruoshu. If I could accompany her to Gusu to recuperate, away from the troubles here, that would be a good idea."
Zhang Ruoshu was grateful when she heard that her mother-in-law was willing to accompany her: "Mother, this gives me confidence that I will get better soon."
Liang Fushan also revealed a relieved smile: "Then it is decided. I will arrange everything as soon as possible to ensure that you can go to Gusu smoothly."
As night fell, Liang Fushan was sitting alone in his study, pondering many recent family matters.
At this time, Xiao Zhang gently pushed open the door, holding a bowl of steaming pear soup in her hand, which was filled with fragrance.
"Fushan, drink some pear soup to moisten your throat." Xiao Zhang said gently, handing the bowl of soup to Liang Fushan.
Liang Fushan took the bowl of soup, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "Thank you, mother, for taking care of me so late at night."
Little Zhang smiled gently, sat down at the tea table on the other side of the desk, and watched Liang Fushan finish his soup quietly.
"I should bear the consequences of the cause I sowed that day. I decided to take Ruoshu to Gusu and leave Chunmei and Xiuyun with you. They are both smart and can take good care of you."
Liang Fushan frowned slightly when he heard this and was about to refuse, but was gently interrupted by Xiao Zhang.
"Listen to me. This is the last thing I, as your mother, will arrange for you. Even if Ruoshu recovers, she's not fit to carry on the Liang family's legacy. If a child inherits this disease, wouldn't that destroy the entire Liang family?"
Xiao Zhang's tone was firm and heavy, and her eyes were burning, revealing her deep concern for the future of the Liang family.
She paused, then continued, "When I married your father, I initially felt resentment. But you've been sensible since you were little, and have always been respectful to me. All these years have passed, and there are things I deeply regret, and it's pointless to talk about them. My only hope now is that the Liang family prospers for a hundred years, and doesn't let those treacherous people ruin our future."
Liang Fushan listened to his stepmother's heartfelt words, nodded, and looked at Xiao Zhang with a firm gaze: "Mother, don't worry. I will remember your teachings and protect everything of the Liang family."
In fact, Liang Fushan has vaguely sensed the hidden crisis in his family over the years, and even knows who is the mastermind behind it!
