The Liang family still couldn't stay at the Wei family's place; Wei Congwen absolutely wouldn't allow Liang Zhuo to take care of Shen Shu there.
The adulterer came in to take care of his wife, as if she were dead?
The Liang family was kicked out again. After arguing their case, only Aunt Liang stayed to take care of Shen Shu, while Butler Liang and Liang Zhuo left with their belongings.
Although Butler Liang never intended to leave the Shen family, he was like a cunning rabbit with multiple burrows, so he still bought himself a fairly large house.
Coincidentally, that house wasn't far from the Wei family's, so the father and son could just move back to their own place.
Ironically, Butler Liang discovered that his house wasn't much smaller than the Wei family's...
-----
Early autumn was oppressive, but a rare downpour brought coolness, finally giving it the feel of autumn.
Shen Ning asked Liu Ying to set out the wine and dishes at Tingyu Pavilion, so they could drink while listening to the rain.
Of course, she didn't just enjoy it herself; several tables were set up in the downstairs corridor, with dried fruits and pastries served, and she also had some fine braised meat sliced.
They had all four gates locked, and everyone drank and chatted together.
Shen Ning's original intention was just to treat everyone to drinks on a whim, but Liu Ying and Yu Zhu grew up without her realizing it. With each step Shen Ning took, they could help her finish the rest.
Shen Ning stayed in the attic and didn't come down. Liu Ying and Yu Zhu played up there for a while before going down to drink with everyone.
Drinking naturally involves chatting; when a group of people get together, their mouths are always busy.
Liu Ying poured wine for everyone and advised them, "Everyone can drink and eat to their heart's content today, but the young lady is in a bad mood, so please don't go up and disturb her."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of the butler? Why did Butler Liang suddenly leave?"
Liu Ying looked reluctant to speak, but Yu Zhu immediately leaned in and said with her little mouth, "It's all because of the Second Miss."
"You all saw what the Second Miss did today. She fell at home and miscarried. Liang Zhuo brought her to our door, crying and begging the Eldest Miss to give her back her child. It was ridiculous."
"There are so many things to do this autumn. The young lady is so busy that she has no time to pay attention to her. She has no idea that the young lady is pregnant. But the young lady comes to the door, kneels down and cries, saying things that are not true or false, and even tries to frame the young lady for harming her child. Isn't that infuriating?"
Everyone nodded in agreement: "That's outrageous! The Second Miss is really going too far."
Liu Ying pulled Yu Zhu aside: "Yu Zhu, stop talking."
Yu Zhu was furious. She pushed Liu Ying away slightly, downed a glass of wine, and said indignantly, "I'll say it! If they dare to do it, what don't I dare to say!"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped boldly onto the bench: "You all saw it today. Liang Zhuo was holding the Second Miss in public. I just inquired and found out that the Wei family ignored the Second Miss's miscarriage. It was Liang Zhuo who found her a doctor and even took care of her all the way back. What do you think he's up to?"
Immediately, someone raised their hand: "I've always felt that there's something fishy about Liang Zhuo and the Second Miss. Liang Zhuo used to always send flowers and snacks to the Second Miss, which we found strange. They always say that Liang Zhuo and the Second Miss grew up together and are like siblings, but even our own siblings aren't this close."
"That's right, my wife and I don't hug and cuddle in public, it's simply indecent."
"I also saw Liang Zhuo frequently going to the Second Miss's room and staying there for half an hour at a time."
"Who knows what they're doing in there?"
"I also saw that young master Wei come in through the back door to meet the second young lady in her room, more than once."
"My goodness, this second young lady is too..."
He wanted to curse her for being shameless, but he was too afraid of the young lady to say it.
Yu Zhu slammed her hand on the table: "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the Liang family. You all saw it today. Liang Zhuo is wholeheartedly protecting the second young lady and helping her to harm the eldest young lady at every turn. Aunt Liang can't control her son and only knows how to beg the eldest young lady for forgiveness, making her suffer. Our eldest young lady is also a human being. She remembers the kindness Aunt Liang showed her when she was a child and has been tolerant of the Liang family. But today she was really too wronged, so she said that they should just go with the second young lady."
"Everyone can tell that this was just an angry outburst, but Butler Liang rushed over to plead for them, saying that the young lady was ungrateful. Tell me, who is really in the wrong?"
Everyone: "Butler Liang has gone too far! He's gone too far!"
Yu Zhu slapped her thigh again: "That's right, he made the young lady cry back then. Sigh... I've been with the young lady for so many years, but I've never seen her cry more than a few times. Every time she cries, I'm reminded of her wedding last time, when she was so angry that she cried and even vomited blood..."
Everyone who had personally experienced this was immediately filled with heartache.
Such a smart, beautiful, and dignified young lady was betrayed like this, and was so angry that she vomited blood. It's really too pitiful.
Yu Zhu's face twisted with anger: "Even though the eldest young lady is crying, Steward Liang won't back down. He even said that he has made great contributions to the Shen family, and if the eldest young lady sends him away, it would be heartless. The eldest young lady is also angry and said that if he is not satisfied, he can leave with Liang Zhuo and the others. Steward Liang left as soon as he said that, and even said that the second young lady is more gentle and kind than the eldest young lady, and that even if the eldest young lady begs him in the future, he will not come back!"
Everyone: "How could Butler Liang go so far? How could he treat Miss like this?"
Yu Zhu snorted coldly: "Who knows? He probably thinks that the young lady has relied on him all these years and consults him on everything. He thinks he can also make decisions for the Shen family and is using this to threaten the young lady."
Everyone: "What if he leaves now? Will the young lady want him back?"
Yu Zhu crossed her arms: "Once disloyal, always disloyal. What's the point of someone like him, who can't distinguish between superiors and inferiors and tries to control his master, coming back? He'd better never come back!!"
Yu Zhu was emotionally agitated, and her hatred of evil was fully displayed.
Liu Ying slapped her on the head in annoyance: "Nonsense, the young lady will beat you up later."
He gave her a push, saying, "Don't stay here. Go upstairs and keep an eye on Miss. Don't let her drink too much, or she'll definitely feel unwell tomorrow."
Yu Zhu stormed off in a huff. Liu Ying picked up the wine pot and poured herself a cup of wine: "Don't listen to Yu Zhu's nonsense. The young lady is very loyal and righteous. Just think of it as everyone having their own ambitions..."
He sighed and raised his glass: "Butler Liang and Aunt Liang have left. For the time being, Yuzhu and I will be in charge of the affairs of the manor. We are young and don't know much about many things, so we can only learn by trial and error. We hope you will all help us in the future."
Yu Zhu was impatient, but Liu Ying was calm. The others trusted Liu Ying more and immediately nodded, saying they would help her.
Upstairs, Tao Ji poured wine for Shen Ning from a wine pot, praising, "Young Miss is amazing."
These two maids are quite something; one is impatient and the other is calm, one is the good cop and the other the bad cop. They sang so well that the people who were sold out were still helping to count the money.
