Duan Yang told Liang Ruitian and his wife the whole story of the letter.
It turned out that just as he returned home yesterday, a mysterious man came to his house.
The man said that he was Shen Yuexi's junior fellow apprentice and had been temporarily staying at Liang Ruitian's residence for the past few days.
He handed the letter to Duan Yang, saying that because there were rumors in the capital these days, Liang Ruitian planned to invite Duan Yang to a banquet at Yueyang Tower tomorrow to discuss in detail the marriage between Liang Shuda and Miss Duan.
At this point, Duan Yang lowered his head slightly, frowning, and cautiously glanced at Liang Ruitian and his wife from the corner of his eye. "This matter has caused unrest in my house these past few days. I wanted to take some time to chat with Lord Liang, so I kept the appointment on time today."
[It turns out that this is another good deed done by that Taoist Bieshe! ]
Liang Yuyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi intently.
[It seems this Bieshe Taoist came to the capital with the intention of stirring up trouble there, so he could avenge his mother.]
Shen Yuexi's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Although Taoist Bieshe has a deep grudge against me because of what happened back then, he does not have the ability to disrupt the situation in the capital unless there is someone else in the capital to give him advice.
"Master Liang?" Duan Yang didn't know what Shen Yuexi and his wife were thinking. He smiled at Liang Ruitian and said, "In fact, even if there was no letter today, I would still come to pay a visit to Master Liang."
"What do you two think about the marriage between Young Master Liang and my daughter?"
Liang Ruitian placed one hand on the table, tapping lightly with his fingertips. His sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Liang Yuyu blinked, her gaze moving back and forth between Liang Ruitian and Duan Yang's faces.
[What's wrong with this scumbag dad? He seems determined to get what Duan Yang wants to discuss.]
Just as he was thinking about it, Liang Ruitian took out a rolled-up bamboo slip from his sleeve and slowly pushed it in front of Duan Yang.
"Originally, I was planning to meet the Duke of Zhenguo today."
He pushed the bamboo slips completely in front of Duan Yang, pressed his fingers on the top of the slips, and tapped them twice: "Duke Zhenguo, look, what is this."
Duan Yang looked at Liang Ruitian suspiciously and took the bamboo slips tentatively.
He looked at Liang Ruitian suspiciously while carefully opening the bamboo slips.
After just one glance, Duan Yang suddenly stood up, his eyes gloomy, his voice cold, and he shouted tremblingly: "Impossible! This is slander!"
Liang Yuyu stretched her neck and took a look at the bamboo slips.
This is a bamboo slip from the Ministry of Personnel.
The bamboo slips were sealed with pine wood, and a small word "secret" was written on the seal, which made it clear that they were secret bamboo slips from the Ministry of Personnel.
[How did this scumbag father get such a confidential thing? ]
Liang Yuyu suppressed her curiosity and looked at the contents of the bamboo slips.
The content was also very concise and clear: According to investigation, there is sufficient evidence that Zhenguo Gong Duan Yang exchanged military equipment, passing inferior weapons as good ones. The witness will choose a date to travel to Beijing, and please send someone to protect him along the way.
The final signature is a small butterfly, I don’t know if it is the abbreviation of a person’s name or has other meanings.
Liang Yuyu suddenly opened her eyes wide, her eyelashes flickering, and looked straight at the Duke of Zhenguo.
【I see! 】
[No wonder the Duke of Zhenguo wants to marry the love-brained brother.]
[It seems that the Duke of Zhenguo knew that his good deeds would be exposed long ago, and in desperation, he actually came up with the idea of marriage.]
[In this way, by the time the witnesses arrive in the capital, the marriage between the Zhenguo Mansion and the Liang Mansion will have become a fait accompli.]
If the scumbag father still wants to protect his eldest brother, he must protect the Duke of Zhenguo.
[The Duke of Zhenguo has used this method to bind himself to my Liang Mansion. We will prosper together and suffer together.]
[This move is both dirty and clever!]
Liang Yuyu's thoughts were heard clearly by Shen Yuexi and Liang Ruitian.
Both of their expressions turned cold, and they raised their eyelids at the same time, looking at Duan Yang indifferently.
The latter's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
He rubbed his hands in front of him, his voice trembling slightly, but he kept denying: "I...how could I do such a thing?"
However, no matter what Duan Yang said, Liang Ruitian and his wife still stared at him intently, motionless.
Duan Yang's expression became increasingly ugly, and his voice became increasingly low.
Finally, Duan Yang's voice was almost inaudible: "This is all slander."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Shen Yuexi sneer disdainfully: "I was wondering why the Duke of Zhenguo insisted on marrying his daughter to Shu Da. It turns out he was waiting for us here."
"Mrs. Liang, my daughter has long admired Young Master Liang, so..."
【Hehe～】
Liang Yuyu sneered inwardly.
[Have you admired me for a long time? If that's the case, why not have the Duke of Zhenguo bring Miss Duan with him so he can hear what Miss Duan has to say in person?]
Shen Yuexi half-closed her eyelids, her face cold and gloomy: "Okay, if that's the case. Why not invite Miss Duan over now? If she admits that she has admired my son for a long time, as long as she is willing to sever ties with the Zhenguogong Mansion, my Liang Mansion is still willing to give her a status."
Duan Yang's expression suddenly changed. "Madam Liang, how could my daughter sever ties with me? If this gets out, wouldn't people think that my daughter has abandoned her parents for a private affair?"
"Don't worry, Lord Zhenguo." Shen Yuexi slowly stood up, looking down at Duan Yang from the corner of her eye. "If that's really the case, as long as the matter of the weapons is investigated, I will naturally let Miss Duan return to her ancestral home. I will definitely not sever the blood relationship between the Duan family and Miss Duan."
"This will not only satisfy Miss Duan's admiration for my son, but also prove that the Duke's decision to marry his daughter is entirely out of a loving father's heart, without any selfish motives. What do you think, Duke?"
Liang Yuyu looked at Shen Yuexi's determined look, her little mouth opened and closed, spitting out a few saliva bubbles, her eyebrows curved, full of smiles.
【Mother is really amazing! 】
[We've blocked all of the Zhenguogong's paths. Let's see what he'll do!]
He could either admit that he only married his daughter to solve an urgent problem, or marry his daughter to the Liang Mansion as his mother had instructed. However, in that case, the Liang Mansion would definitely not be implicated in anything he did.
[Kill multiple birds with one stone! Mother is truly a master of overt schemes. I admire her so much.]
Shen Yuexi's face flushed slightly when Liang Yuyu praised her.
She gathered her thoughts and looked at Duan Yang again: "Duke Zhenguo, have you made up your mind?"
Duan Yang's mouth twitched and his expression looked ugly.
After a pause, Duan Yang stood up suddenly, his cold gaze moving across Shen Yuexi and Liang Ruitian's faces.
"Since the Liang Mansion is unwilling to marry into the Zhenguo Mansion, I will not force Madam Liang and Lord Liang."
After saying this, Duan Yang turned away.
He paused at the door for a moment, then turned his head to look at Shen Yuexi and Liang Ruitian with a cold expression, and said gloomily, "I will remember the humiliation you suffered today, and I will definitely repay you one day."
