In just a few days, the Liang family sent away their two concubines.
I have to say, without these chattering vixens, Shen Yuexi's life has become much better.
The weather was fine and sunny these days, and the warm winter sun was shining brightly. Shen Yuexi took Liang Yuyu to sit in the garden.
Liang Yuyu was sleeping in the cradle, her dark pupils rolling around, staring straight at Shen Yuexi.
Shen Yuexi rocked the cradle and hummed a tune to Liang Yuyu in a low voice.
【Mei Niang sings beautifully.】
Liang Yuyu placed her thumb on her pink lips, smacked her lips, and saliva dripped down her fingers.
"Ouch, my dear, you are drooling." Shen Yuexi's beautiful eyes curved slightly, and she wiped Liang Yuyu's face with a handkerchief with a smile.
【Mei Niang, you can’t blame me. 】
【When a beautiful woman sings for you, anyone who sees her will drool. 】
[Yeah, that's right, it's because Mei Niang is so pretty.]
Shen Yuexi's smile deepened as she listened to Liang Yuyu's flattery.
Liu Qiu ran into the yard, panting.
She put her hands on her waist, half-bent over, gasping for breath, and stammered, "No...not good."
Shen Yuexi's smile disappeared instantly.
She subconsciously raised her hand to protect Liang Yuyu, frowned, and looked at Liu Qiu: "What's wrong?"
"After the master left the court, the emperor detained him in the palace. I heard that he was interrogating him about embezzling government funds."
Shen Yuexi stood up suddenly, her brows furrowed, but she didn't forget to rock the cradle with her right hand: "This Liang Ruitian, will he stop until he kills me?"
"Madam, what should we do now?"
Shen Yuexi drooped her eyelids slightly and saw Liang Yuyu looking at her with her big eyes in the cradle.
She took Liang Yuyu out of the cradle, turned around and handed Liang Yuyu to Liu Qiu: "Liu Qiu, take your sweet baby and go out the back door."
Liu Qiu was stunned: "Madam, what about you?"
Shen Yuexi didn't bother to answer Liu Qiu. She was busy taking off everything on her body that could be exchanged for silver and handing it to Liu Qiu. She only cared about instructing her: "I have deposited a lot of silver with Brother Xu. Take Guaibao to go find him."
"If Liang Ruitian's corruption is proven, the entire Liang family will be in trouble. I can't escape, but Guaibao can't suffer the same fate as the Liang family."
Liu Qiu has been with Shen Yuexi since childhood and they have a deep affection for each other.
Hearing this, his eyes reddened and he burst into tears: "Madam..."
Liang Yuyu in the cradle also stretched out her hands, bit her tender pink lips into a flower shape, and babbled something.
[Mother, I won’t leave. I don’t want to be separated from you.]
[Mother, my scumbag father has done so many evil things that his death is not a pity. Mother, please don't be foolish. You can't die with him.]
【Mother, give me a hug, hug my dear baby. 】
Liang Yuyu was so anxious that she kept twisting her body, her eyes were red, and before she knew it, she was already in tears.
Shen Yuexi felt particularly bad when she saw her cute baby crying with red cheeks and slightly swollen eyes.
She leaned down, stroked Liang Yuyu's hair with her right hand, and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
Then, Shen Yuexi pushed Liang Yuyu away and looked at Liu Qiu: "Let's go!"
Liu Qiu was pushed towards the back door by Shen Yuexi.
She staggered, looking back every few steps.
Shen Yuexi didn't dare to face Liu Qiu. She kept her back to the two of them, raising her hands and waving them.
【Mother! 】
Liang Yuyu used all her strength and shouted until she was hoarse, but in the end it all turned into earth-shaking cries.
Is she really going to break up with Mei Niang?
Is she powerless to change the fate of Mei Niang and the Liang family?
Liu Qiu was breathing heavily. He held Liang Yuyu in one hand and carried a bag in the other. He chose a road with fewer people and went all the way to the back door.
When he arrived at the backyard, Liu Qiu's steps became lighter.
She lowered her voice and said, "Little Miss, please don't cry."
Liang Yuyu took a deep breath and forced back her tears.
She bit her lips, her eyes widened and her eyes were bright red, but fortunately she didn't make any sound.
Liu Qiu sighed and carefully opened the door.
She turned around, took one last look at the Liang Mansion, and walked out.
Suddenly, Liang Yuyu felt a sharp pain touching her waist through the swaddling clothes.
"go back!"
A cold voice exploded in my ears.
Liang Yuyu stretched her neck to look outside.
In the sunlight, the armor shone with a mixture of gold and silver, almost blinding the eyes.
It’s the Royal Guards!
It seems that Liu Qiu got the news too late.
The Imperial Guards have surrounded the Liang Mansion.
If you want to escape, I'm afraid there is no way!
Liu Qiu was escorted back to the front yard by the Imperial Guards.
At this moment, there were cries and shouts in the front yard of the Liang Mansion.
The second and third concubines were completely disrespectful. They sat on the ground with their hands raised high, crying like shrews.
Liang Shuda protected Shen Yuexi and stood in the corridor, watching the imperial guards turn the Liang Mansion upside down.
Liu Qiu was pushed into the yard by the imperial guards, and Liang Yuyu, who was in the cradle, was almost thrown out.
"Good boy?"
Shen Yuexi wanted to cry but had no tears.
She walked quickly forward and hugged Liang Yuyu.
Unexpectedly, I was still a step too slow and ultimately failed to send Liang Yuyu out.
【Mother, please stop crying.】
Liang Yuyu raised her right hand, and rubbed Shen Yuexi's face with her chubby fingers, wiping her tears.
【I am happy when I am with my mother.】
Shen Yuexi leaned down and put her face against Liang Yuyu's cheek: "My dear, mother is incompetent and failed to protect you."
【Mei Niang, this has nothing to do with you. 】
[Stop crying! My heart will break if you continue crying.]
【Don't worry, Mei Niang, I'm here and nothing will happen to you. 】
The more Shen Yuexi heard Liang Yuyu's inner thoughts, the more guilty and uneasy she felt. Not only could she not stop crying, but she cried even harder.
"We are all innocent." The second concubine grabbed the imperial guards beside her and pointed at Shen Yuexi, "That's Liang Ruitian's legal wife, and that's his new daughter, whom he loves very much. If you have any problems, go find them and their daughter. It has nothing to do with us."
The second concubine was desperate and didn't care about anything else at this time. She just hoped to save her life.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yuexi looked at the second concubine with red eyes and anger.
She took a few steps forward, rushed in front of the second concubine, raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face.
The second concubine's crying suddenly stopped, and she covered her face with her hands and looked at Shen Yuexi in horror.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't send you to the palace. I'll kill you right now!" Shen Yuexi gritted her teeth and scolded coldly, "If you want to live, shut up."
The second concubine bit her pink lips and did not dare to answer. She turned her head away timidly to avoid Shen Yuexi's murderous gaze.
The Imperial Guards searched the Liang family's house again and took away a lot of valuable things. Only then did they reluctantly take the Liang family members into the palace.
Liang Yuyu, Shen Yuexi and Liang Shuda rode in a carriage.
Liang Shuda was a young general after all. Although the situation was so bad, there was no sign of panic on his face.
"Mother, no matter what happens when we enter the palace, you must just claim you didn't know. We can't all be implicated in this. You and your sister must come out safely."
