Liang Yuyu opened her eyes wide and looked at Liang Shuda with tears of gratitude.
[Although my brother is in love, he still has me in his heart when it matters most.]
【Wow, he really is like that. I'm crying my eyes out.】
Liang Shuda was not very happy when he heard his sister's thoughts.
Is this also considered as her praising herself?
He turned his head away and reached out to pinch Liang Yuyu's chubby little face.
The little guy twisted his body, waving his little paws in the air for a long time, and finally grabbed Liang Shuda's arm.
She pursed her pink lips, murmured a few words, and pulled Liang Shuda's arm down with force.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to pull Liang Shuda, but he was able to expel the gas in his stomach with just one force.
puff--
The sound was particularly clear in the silent carriage.
Liang Yuyu's face turned red immediately, and she wished she could crawl into the crack in the ground immediately.
However, after she did this, the gloomy atmosphere in the carriage was swept away.
Shen Yuexi patted Liang Yuyu's back, looked at her thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "It will be fine."
She believed that absolutely nothing would happen!
At least, the good boy will be fine!
Inside the majestic hall, royal guards stood on both sides, kowtow- ing to the bronze bull's head.
They carried knives on their waists, and just standing there they had an aura that was enough to intimidate everyone.
Liang Yuyu opened the swaddling clothes, stretched her neck, and looked around with her round eyes moving around.
Liang Ruitian was kneeling in the hall, with Minister Cen standing beside him.
In front of him was a flight of stairs. As he climbed up, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne in the middle. He looked calm and majestic without even getting angry.
There is no need to think, this is the current emperor.
[I didn't expect the emperor to be so young.]
How come he has so many broad-shouldered, thin-waisted imperial guards? Could he have some special fetish?
Hearing Liang Yuyu's inner voice, Shen Yuexi loosened her arms and almost threw her out of her arms.
This girl is so bold. Is this the time to think about this in this situation?
Just in case, Shen Yuexi pulled the quilt upwards to block Liang Yuyu's sight so that she wouldn't think about those messy things.
Shen Yuexi knelt beside Liang Ruitian and kowtowed to the emperor.
After a while, the emperor's deep and deep voice was heard from the hall: "Madam Liang, please get up. I summoned you today. Do you know why?"
Although Liang Yuyu's eyes were blocked, her hearing was very sharp.
[The old emperor must have gotten nothing out of his scumbag father, so he wants to ask his mother for clarification.]
【Mother, don't be fooled.】
Shen Yuexi understood in her heart: "I don't know."
The Emperor was furious: "You don't know? Liang Ruitian is corrupt and has embezzled official funds. This is known to everyone in the capital. As his wife, you actually say you don't know?"
[Who are you trying to scare? If everyone in the capital knows about this, then why are you asking me, Mei Niang? Why not just ask a commoner?]
Shen Yuexi raised her chin and looked towards the emperor.
Facing his majestic look, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Liang Yuyu in her arms was kicking her little feet, and her soft and petite body twisted back and forth a few times, which invisibly gave Shen Yuexi firm courage.
She stared at the emperor and said slowly, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, why bother questioning me? Just find witnesses to testify against Liang Ruitian and convict him."
The emperor was speechless after hearing what Shen Yuexi said. He was at a loss as to what to do and glanced sideways at Minister Cen.
Liang Yuyu saw where the emperor's eyes were going through the gap in the quilt.
[It seems that the Emperor was provoked by Minister Cen.]
[I hope my scumbag father can tell the emperor that Minister Cen is seeking revenge for a personal vendetta because he is unhappy about my public apology to the Liang family a few days ago.]
"Ahem."
When Liang Yuyu was thinking, the emperor coughed twice and said, "Minister Cen, you speak."
[The old emperor can't handle my beautiful mother himself, so he wants to pass the blame on to his subordinates.]
Minister Cen's mouth twitched, and despite his grim expression, he finally stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard rumors circulating in and around the capital recently, saying that Lord Liang has embezzled government funds, causing the people to become homeless and causing widespread resentment in the capital."
Liang Yuyu waved her little hands, pushed away the swaddling clothes, and was so anxious that she almost sat up.
[Although his father wasn't a good person, Minister Cen was too impatient to convict an official of the imperial court based on a rumor.]
Liang Ruitian listened to Liang Yuyu's thoughts, and his tense expression gradually relaxed.
He turned his head and blinked a few times at Liang Yuyu to show that he understood.
It’s a pity that Liang Yuyu was frowning with her pink eyebrows, thinking about something, and didn’t notice Liang Ruitian’s crazy eyes at all.
"Your Majesty, Minister Cen, is being too arbitrary to convict me based solely on rumors. I certainly will not accept this."
Liang Yuyu kicked her little feet twice, her red lips opened slightly, and a bubble of saliva came out of her mouth.
[Aiya! Stupid scumbag dad, it's fine if you just understand what I'm saying. How could you say it out loud? Aren't you just trying to get Minister Cen to produce evidence?]
Liang Ruitian suddenly widened his eyes, turned his head abruptly and looked at Liang Yuyu.
Darling! Can you please stop panting?
Wouldn't this kill your father?
Before the father and daughter could exchange glances, Minister Cen sneered, "It seems that Lord Liang needs evidence, right?"
He clapped his hands, and several people hurried into the hall.
Seeing these people, Liang Ruitian felt something was wrong.
These people were the servants from the Liang Mansion who used to follow the Fourth Concubine!
Minister Cen raised his chin, determined to win: "Tell me everything you know again."
The group was very coordinated, as if they had rehearsed it several times.
"The master collected a lot of silver and gave it to the eldest lady to manage."
"I once heard the master tell the people in the mansion that the silver came from an unknown source and that he wanted everyone in the mansion to keep it secret and not let anyone outside know about it."
Each of them spoke something they either heard with their own ears or saw with their own eyes, and at first glance it sounded as if it couldn't be more true.
Just based on these testimonies, Liang Ruitian's head is enough to be chopped off dozens of times.
The emperor was furious. He picked up the inkstone in front of him and threw it directly at Liang Ruitian's feet, roaring, "What else do you have to say?"
Liang Ruitian did not apologize at the first moment, but turned his head and looked at Liang Yuyu.
She stared with her round eyes, placed her right thumb on her lips, and sucked on the tip of her finger, but there was no reaction.
"I hate corrupt officials the most, and now they are committing corruption right under my nose."
"Come here! Imprison all the members of the Liang family pending trial, and execute them in three days."
Liang Ruitian suddenly came to his senses and looked at the emperor in horror.
At this moment, he no longer cared about his dignity. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty wants me to die, and I have no choice but to die. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my daughter for the sake of my years of hard work. She is still in her infancy."
Shen Yuexi and Liang Shuda knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please spare my little sister."
The emperor frowned slightly, his gaze slowly falling on Liang Yuyu's face, still holding the red silk card in his hand.
When the red silk card falls, the emperor’s words are confirmed and will never go unspoken.
