Everyone talked for a while in the palace.
By the time we left the palace, it was almost noon.
Shen Yuexi was holding Liang Yuyu and walked out of the palace gate under the escort of Liang Shuda, when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
"Mrs. Liang, please wait a moment."
Hearing this voice, Shen Yuexi not only did not wait, but instead quickened her pace.
The person behind him was relentless and rushed forward a few steps, spreading his hands to block Shen Yuexi.
He panted slightly, his back bent, and he quickly adjusted his breathing. At the same time, he looked at Shen Yuexi cautiously: "Mrs. Liang."
Shen Yuexi held Liang Yuyu's back with one hand, protecting her in her arms, and looked at the person in front of her unhappily: "Is Young Master Cen okay?"
Cen Jiaan frowned, looked at Shen Yuexi blankly, and took a few steps forward cautiously.
Before he could step forward, Shen Yuexi said coldly, “Young Master Cen, if you have anything to say, just say it there.”
Cen Jiaan stopped and looked around at Shen Yuexi and Liang Shuda helplessly: "Madam Liang, I was not the one who told Concubine Qi about the relationship between the Liang family's second young master and Sister Hong."
Liang Yuyu pressed the swaddling clothes with her little paws, stuck her head out, and curled her lips in disdain.
【Who else could it be if not him? 】
He was the first to know about Liang Xinmin and Sister Hong's relationship, and he even threatened them.
[Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else who would tell Concubine Qi.]
Shen Yuexi looked at Cen Jiaan coldly, "Really? When Young Master Cen came to my house that day, he admitted it himself. Only you know about this matter. No one else knows."
"Now you deny that it was you who told Concubine Qi, which means that the young master was just talking nonsense in my house that day?"
After saying that, without giving Cen Jiaan a chance to reply, Shen Yuexi glanced at Liang Shuda: "What are you still standing there for? Split him apart for me."
Liang Shuda immediately stepped forward, placing one hand on Cen Jia'an, blocking his path. He said coldly and angrily, "Cen Jia'an, I brought you back to the capital out of pity for you. If I had known you were such an ambitious person, I would have let you freeze to death in the snow at the border."
Cen Jiaan wanted to rush forward, but was pushed away by Liang Shuda.
He staggered, took a few steps back, tripped over his left foot, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Liang Shuda looked down at Cen Jiaan with a cold gaze. "If you dare to pester me again, don't blame me for sending you to see Minister Cen. If he knew his adopted son was two-faced, playing the victim in the Cen family while pretending to be weak in our Liang family, what do you think he would do?"
Liang Yuyu leaned on Shen Yuexi's shoulder and heard Liang Shuda's words clearly.
[It seems that once the love-brained brother gets over it, he still has some intelligence.]
Liang Yuyu blinked her eyes and her gaze slowly moved to Cen Jiaan's face.
His eyebrows were furrowed sharply, and his deep pupils were faintly shimmering.
Cen Jiaan placed his right hand in front of his body, rubbed the base of his palm gently twice, bent his body, and coughed slightly a few times.
Judging from the appearance, he probably fell when Liang Shuda pushed him down.
"Brother Liang." Cen Jiaan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Liang Shuda. "You saved my life, Cen Jiaan. Why should I return it to your Liang family?"
"If I really wanted to be two-faced, why would I go to see Madam Liang?"
"I'm begging Madam Liang for help, but I'm betraying the Liang family at the same time. What good will this do me?"
Liang Yuyu's big eyes couldn't help but widen a little.
She pursed her pink lips, her little head tilted to one side, her mind racing.
【What Cen Jiaan said makes some sense.】
He had come to his mother to ask for something. If he really wanted to betray the Liang family, wouldn't his request to his mother be in vain?
[But who else could it be besides Cen Jiaan? ]
Shen Yuexi and Liang Shuda looked at each other.
Shen Yuexi remained expressionless and nodded slightly.
Liang Shuda glanced at Cen Jiaan coldly, "Even so, your Cen family has had dealings with Concubine Qi for a long time. Now that our Liang family has completely broken off relations with Concubine Qi's clan, you'd better avoid dealing with our family in the future. Otherwise, you'll get beaten up again when you return."
Cen Jiaan rubbed his chest, slowly stood up, hung his head, and sighed helplessly: "What happened today was really unexpected. General Qi was stripped of his power, and Concubine Qi was also stripped of her position as a concubine. I'm afraid the Qi family will not let this go. I hope Madam Liang takes care of herself."
Liang Yuyu was even more confused after listening to Cen Jiaan's words. She couldn't understand what this kid wanted to do.
[I am increasingly unable to understand Cen Jiaan's thoughts.]
【Based on historical experience, such incomprehensible characters should never be released.】
Rather than letting this hidden bomb explode outside, it's better to explode it at home.
"etc."
Shen Yuexi called out to Cen Jiaan who was about to leave.
She frowned slightly, looked Cen Jiaan up and down, thought for a moment, and whispered, "You don't have to worry about our agreement. Our Liang family will do our best to mediate for you and send you to be the prince's tutor. As for the leak, since you said it, I will believe you for the time being."
"Mother?"
Shen Yuexi raised her hand to stop Liang Shuda from speaking: "However, if one day I find out that what you said today is false. We can use the same method to pull you down as we sent you to the position of the prince's tutor."
"By then, I'm afraid you won't just be facing the Liang family."
Cen Jiaan's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly to Shen Yuexi: "Don't worry, Madam Liang, there's nothing to be afraid of that I haven't done."
Shen Yuexi stared at Cen Jiaan for a long time before nodding slightly. Without saying anything more, she turned around and got on the carriage.
On the way back home, Shen Yuexi supported her temple with one hand, half-closed her eyes, and gently rubbed her temple with her fingers.
Outside the carriage, Liang Shuda curiously lifted the curtain.
"Does mother really believe Cen Jiaan?"
Shen Yuexi shook her head and opened her eyes slightly: "I don't believe it."
Liang Shuda was stunned: "Since you don't believe it, why did mother agree to it?"
Liang Yuyu blinked and gave Liang Shuda a helpless look.
"Brother, brother, I thought you had some brains just now, how come your intelligence disappeared so quickly?"
Regardless of whether or not Cen Jiaan did this, his mother's promise to Cen Jiaan to continue helping him become the Crown Prince's tutor meant that the Liang family had evidence against him.
If Minister Cen knew about Cen Jiaan's close relationship with the Liang family, he would not let him off easily.
So, while Mother's actions may seem like a disadvantage for us, in reality, it's Cen Jiaan who will be left in the lurch.
Liang Yuyu hooked her arms around Shen Yuexi's neck and gave her a kiss on the face.
【Mother, this move is really brilliant.】
Shen Yuexi nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself: It turns out this trick can be used in this way.
Why didn't she think of it just now?
Liang Shuda frowned and stared at Liang Yuyu: It's over, I'm really going to become a mentally retarded big brother in this little girl's heart.
