Chapter 545: Attending the Liang Family Banquet
End of May.
Birds flew through the thick gates and walls of the Liang Mansion, and through the exquisite pavilions and corridors. Maids and servants, holding trays in their hands, entered a courtyard in an orderly manner.
Birds also perched by the windows of the rooms in the courtyard.
"Mom, I don't want to wear those clothes." Chun Ge'er resisted silently. The moment he saw the bird, joy appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Thinking that he would be formally introduced today, Chun Ge'er couldn't be happy at all.
After calling him dad for twelve years, he was suddenly told that his biological father was someone else, and that the other father was Grandpa Liang, whom he had always respected. No one knew how Chun Ge'er had been spending these days.
But no matter how much they resisted, they were still taken back to their two families.
What's more, he was pushed into the water a few days ago. In fact, he could have avoided it, but thinking of his identity that was ridiculed by others, and his mind was not clear, he just let it go.
"Be good and follow your father today. I won't go to the front yard. With him here, no one dares to bully my Chun-er." Feng Dansi patted the child's head and said seriously, "Chun-er, remember, some people slander you because they are incompetent. They envy you for being Liang Zhongling's child. In the future, you will be more respected than them. As long as you can gain greater power, no one will dare to say anything bad about you. Do you understand?"
Chun Ge'er nodded: "I understand the principle, but how can I gain greater power?"
Feng Dansi's eyebrows flickered slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the Liang family would definitely be in power in the future, and Chun'er would be the only child of the Liang family at that time.
For the sake of our children's future, some things can no longer wait.
She smiled and said, "Be good, listen to your father now, change your clothes, and go with him to the front yard to meet those nobles, okay?"
Chun Ge'er looked at his mother's encouraging eyes and knew that his mother had endured a lot during these days, so he finally put on his clothes.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her with rosy lips and white teeth, she felt a hundred times more energetic than before when he was lying lifeless on the bed.
"You are worthy of being my son. Go quickly." Feng Dansi looked proud. She endured humiliation and hardship just to give her son a good future.
Fortunately, Chun Ge'er lived up to everyone's expectations and was very filial to his mother.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liang Zhongling turned around and saw his little son. A feeling of tenderness rose in his usually cold heart.
"Brother Chun, come here!"
Chun Ge'er glanced at him with an emotionless look, pouring a bucket of cold water on Liang Zhongling's enthusiasm.
But he quickly comforted himself, saying that it was okay, Chun Ge'er just hadn't adapted yet and would definitely change in the future.
He walked out of the backyard with the child, and the servants followed respectfully behind him.
At this time, the front yard was already full of guests. Given Liang Zhongling's status in the court, no one dared to offend him directly.
Apart from Pei Shangling's group, almost no one came.
But he didn't care.
"Old Master!"
The housekeeper came over and whispered in his ear, "Commander Feng has arrived, bringing with him two unfamiliar guests. I've never seen them in the capital. According to the commander, they are members of the Feng family."
Liang Zhongling held his youngest son in his hand, frowning slightly. He had never heard of the Feng family and thought that they must be people who wanted to curry favor with Feng Qi.
Today is my son’s birthday party, and it is also the first time that I appear in front of everyone as a member of the Liang family. I cannot be affected by anything.
He patted his son's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the front yard first. Dad will have a few words with the housekeeper and will be right back."
A trace of panic appeared on Chun Ge'er's face. He was going to face those people alone?
What if someone starts gossiping again?
It was a rare moment, the first time he showed a look of need in front of Liang Zhongling.
Liang Zhongling was very pleased, and he also knew that the child was timid, so he called the housekeeper to the side, gave him a few instructions, and then took the child to the front yard.
There is a large garden in the front yard of the Liang Mansion. There are countless exotic flowers and plants in the garden. It is spring now, and the flowers are in full bloom. People are walking in groups of three or two, talking to each other.
Feng Qi was not in a position to appear in public, but he had already asked a caretaker to take good care of the person.
"Brother Feng, this is the Liang family banquet. You and your sister-in-law have certainly never seen anything like this. Don't be shy. If you need anything, just ask the housekeeper. I've already taken care of everything!"
Feng Qi smiled and patted Luo Tingshan's shoulder, with a proud look on his face, as if bringing you to this banquet where all the dignitaries in the capital gathered was a blessing that you would never get in your entire life.
Zhu Mingqing turned a blind eye, as if his attention was attracted by the surrounding scenery.
Luo Tingshan coughed twice and pretended to be grateful: "Yes, thanks to Brother Feng. Then we can go in?"
Feng Qi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, but be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, if something happens, I can't protect you!"
Not long after Luo Tingshan and his wife entered, Feng Qi also disguised himself and entered the birthday party.
If we don't let him be exposed to the public, can't he change his appearance?
The housekeeper didn't pay any attention to Luo Tingshan and the other man. He arranged them in the corner, told the servants to take good care of them, and then went to work immediately.
The two of them were left to eat and drink, feeling very uncomfortable.
As soon as Zhu Mingqing arrived at the Liang Mansion, he asked the small world spirit to monitor this area of the world. Naturally, he knew that Liang Zhongling was coming here with his youngest son.
Luo Tingshan took a look around and found that almost half of the officials holding positions in the capital were there, which once again confirmed that Liang Zhongling's position in the court was at its peak.
"Old Luo, if something happens to these people today, won't Nanxia be completely paralyzed?" Zhu Mingqing suddenly had an idea and muttered to himself.
Luo Tingshan's face froze, and he asked in shock, "What do you want to do?"
Don't blame him for being upset. It's just that Qingqing sometimes keeps her word and even he can't figure out what she's thinking.
Zhu Mingqing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything!"
Luo Tingshan looked skeptical. "Even if you really want to do something, you have to tell me. There are so many people here. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed!"
Zhu Mingqing saw the worry in his heart and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't you still believe me?"
It was a perfectly normal statement, but Luo Tingshan sensed a hint of threat in it.
He nodded immediately: "I believe it. I don't believe anyone else, but I will believe Qingqing."
Zhu Mingqing's mouth corners suddenly rose.
It is said that people love to hear sweet words. To be honest, I am in a really good mood.
"Liang Zhongling is here!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.
Luo Tingshan immediately clenched his fingers into fists and stared at the man opposite him who was smiling smugly.
Liang Zhongling felt as if he only felt a chill on his back, but when he turned around, he saw those officials who were still trying to please him.
Just as he was about to turn around, his eyes inadvertently fell on the man and woman who were standing still.
The housekeeper noticed and immediately explained in a low voice: "Those are the Feng family couple brought by the lieutenant general."
Liang Zhongling's gray eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if he had seen him somewhere.
But he shouldn't be an important person.
