Chapter 413 Overacting
Liang Yuhua couldn't stop crying.
"Oooooh..."
Her crying suddenly broke out, like a flood that had been suppressed for a long time and finally broke through the dam.
Her slender shoulders trembled violently, and her tears fell on the blue brick floor, leaving a dark mark.
Yuan Wanru leaned close to Liang Yuhua's ear, breathing as light as a feather: "Don't be afraid."
Liang Yuhua cried even harder.
Those images flashed through my mind like a kaleidoscope.
On the day when the eldest wife of the Liang family was convicted, the imperial guards broke into the residence of the Duke of Weiguo, and her mother's favorite celadon vase was smashed to pieces. The whole family was arrested and imprisoned. In the dark prison, rats were bigger than cats, and they crawled over the backs of her feet. She still remembers the feeling.
Although her brother had told her privately that the Crown Prince's wife had promised that she would definitely save their family, how could she not be afraid?
After finally seeing the light of day again, she encountered the Fifth Prince who forced her to marry him. The man pinched her chin and asked her to beg him again. When she thought about it, she still trembled in her heart and couldn't help feeling nauseous.
The most terrifying thing is the emperor’s eyes.
When she knelt on the cold palace bricks, the man said slowly: "If you dare to disobey, your father and brother's heads will be chopped off tomorrow."
Liang Yuhua grabbed Yuan Wanru's clothes and cried so hard that she almost passed out. "I'm really... so scared..."
Seeing her like this, Yuan Wanru suddenly understood her situation.
The man was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
She took Liang Yuhua into her arms and whispered, "What's the matter? Let's talk slowly. That person is not very close to here. He can't hear us if we speak softly."
Xuanying was sitting in the corridor, and he would definitely notice any movement.
As he spoke, he patted her gently with his hands.
Lu Jiangnian felt a tightness in his chest as he watched this scene.
He suddenly kicked over the footstool, and the rosewood hit the screen with a deafening sound.
Although he knew rationally that Liang Yuhua was a woman, when he saw his wife holding that woman in her arms and whispering to her softly, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.
"How dare you quibble!"
He grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it to pieces, with porcelain pieces flying everywhere. His voice was as cold as a knife tempered with ice: "Unlucky thing!"
Every word was filled with disgust. "If you don't admit your mistake, go back to your shabby yard! I find you dirty even if I look at you for one more time!"
Yuan Wanru glared at him secretly - the show was over!
Lu Jiangnian went even further, pulling Yuan Wanru's arm away and sneering at Liang Yuhua: "Why are you pretending to be pitiful?"
"With your appearance, are you qualified to act cunningly in front of the Crown Prince's wife?"
Yuan Wanru was pulled by him and staggered, falling into his arms.
When Liang Yuhua saw his dark gaze, tears started to fall.
There was no need to act this out—she was genuinely frightened.
Yuan Wanru frowned, turned around and glared at Lu Jiangnian, and at the same time, she twisted Lu Jiangnian's waist with her wide sleeves, but she was still acting: "Okay, Aunt Liang looks so frail, don't let her get sick right after entering the house, we won't be able to explain it."
"weak?"
Lu Jiangnian sneered, but his eyes were glued to the hand that Yuan Wanru was pinching him with, "I think she is very capable!"
This scene was purely improvisation by Lu Jiangnian.
Regardless of whether Liang Yuhua is innocent or not, she is standing here now, and it is difficult for Lu Jiangnian to remain calm towards her.
Facing the genuine anger in Lu Jiangnian's eyes, Liang Yuhua's face turned pale. Now she didn't even need to pretend to cry. Why was Master Lu so scary? Yuan Wanru held her forehead with her hand.
Well, this drama is getting more and more outrageous.
The play was over, Liang Yuhua wiped her tears and retreated to the corner. Lu Jiangnian immediately pulled Yuan Wanru to sit on the soft couch farthest away from her, with his arms still tightly wrapped around his wife's waist, like a beast protecting its food.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yuan Wanru tried to pinch him secretly, but her wrist was grabbed and their fingers were interlocked.
Lu Jiangnian snorted coldly and stared at Liang Yuhua warily: "Let's talk business."
Liang Yuhua twisted her handkerchief and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is threatening us with the lives of our family members..."
She suddenly raised her head, her tearful eyes filled with determination, "Let me monitor whether the Crown Prince's wife knows medical skills."
Yuan Wanru's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was indeed because of this matter.
The corners of Yuan Wanru's mouth curled up in an icy arc.
The suspicious emperor was eventually distracted by Concubine Liang's instigation. He was afraid that her medical skills would become a sharp weapon to subvert the imperial power. He was afraid that the prince and Lu Jiangnian would join forces to pull him off the throne.
If she doesn't make this matter real, she would be wronged.
Of course Lu Jiangnian also thought of this.
Fortunately, he and his wife already had a plan, and no matter what happened, it was impossible to separate them.
"Madam, please understand!"
Liang Yuhua suddenly knelt down with a thump, and her forehead hit the gold brick heavily.
Her thin shoulders trembled, but her voice was very firm: "Although I am a weak woman, I know that gratitude is worth more than a thousand gold!"
When she raised her tearful eyes, there was a sharp edge in them like a sword, "If I say a single word falsely today, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Yuan Wanru was about to step forward to help, but Lu Jiangnian grabbed her wrist.
"She herself has no legs?"
The man's tone was sour enough to pickle cucumbers. He looked at Liang Yuhua with disdain, "Why is your wife so enthusiastic? You shouldn't like her, right?"
Lu Jiangnian didn't want his wife to touch this woman at all.
Yuan Wanru finally understood that this person's abnormal behavior was caused by his possessiveness.
She was really speechless. Liang Yuhua was a woman, okay?
"Okay."
Yuan Wanru laughed out loud in anger, and threatened him with her red lips against his ear: "Master Lu, do you want to sleep in the study tonight?"
Lu Jiangnian immediately let go and moved back pretending to be magnanimous.
"Good girl."
Yuan Wanru took a few steps forward and helped the man up. "I was right about you. I knew you were a man of integrity."
"Don't worry, just stay in the mansion first."
"During this period of time, I may have to inconvenience you. After all, the appearance of Lu Jiangnian receiving the imperial edict has been spread. We can't be too nice to you, you..."
Liang Yuhua nodded with tears in her eyes, "I understand, it's okay, I don't feel bitter."
She had even lived in a prison cell before. Although life in the courtyard was cold and lonely, it was not miserable at all.
As long as the Crown Prince's wife is willing to believe her, she will feel at ease.
When the door opened, Yuan Wanru suddenly raised her voice: "Since you know you are wrong, go back and reflect on your mistakes!"
Liang Yuhua deliberately staggered back to the door, crying: "I will go back and reflect on myself now."
Her heart was extremely at peace, and she suddenly felt that the quiet days in this small courtyard were not so unbearable.
At least here, there are people who treat her sincerely.
Although Liang Yuhua's matter was clarified, Lu Jiangnian did not forget what his grandmother did this morning.
He called Xuanqing and told him to do something.
Xuan Qing looked at Lu Jiangnian in surprise. This move was too mean.
"Prince..."
Lu Jiangnian said calmly: "Just do as I say."
Since his grandmother was unwilling to be lonely and insisted on coming out to shine, he had to give her a gift in return.
