Chapter 90 Determined to take away the Liang family's money bag
In the book, Cao Lanxin married Liang Zhi, and the Cao family's money flowed into the Liang family's pockets continuously, adding bricks and tiles to the Liang family's business. The Liang family became more and more prosperous, but Cao Lanxin did not have a good life.
Liang Yusong might have been after the Cao family's wealth when he introduced Cao Lanxin and Liang Zhi to each other.
Otherwise, why would Liang Zhi, the legitimate son of the Duke of Weiguo, marry a merchant girl as his wife?
In the book, Liang Yusong and Cao Lanxin seemed to have a good relationship, but now that I think about it, it's just a fake sisterhood.
She did not change her opinion of Cao Lanxin and had no intention of saving her.
Marrying into the Liang family is just a matter of mutual benefit and satisfaction.
However, if they could cause trouble for Liang Yusong and take away the Cao family's money bag, could the Liang family still pave the way with money as described in the book?
The Liang family and the Second Prince are one. When the Eastern Palace was plotting against her, the Second Prince's wife put in a lot of effort.
The Second Prince would not benefit from the loss of the Liang family.
So, on the day when she used Cao Lanxin to trick Liang Yusong into going to Hongxiufang, she decided that in this life, she would never let Cao Lanxin marry Liang Zhi.
In the end, Liang Zhi lived a life of debauchery and took concubines into the house one after another. Apart from the title of the main wife, Cao Lanxin did not get any benefits at all.
The Cao family was hollowed out by the Liang family. She still remembered that the last time Cao Lanxin appeared, she came to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong to visit the seriously ill and dying Madam Lu.
She cried and said, "Grandma, maybe I shouldn't have come to the capital. I received a letter from home recently. Dad said that he couldn't give me money anymore. You are sick again. I don't know what to do in the future."
However, Madam Lu was speechless at the time and could not give her an answer.
Thinking about it this way, she did help Cao Lanxin and the Cao family avoid a big disaster.
"Um."
Yuan Wanru's thoughts were in a mess and it took her a long time before she replied with a single word, her attitude was truly arrogant.
Cao Lanzhi originally thought that her third sister, who had always been arrogant, would turn against her eldest cousin's wife, and she was thinking about dissuading her.
But unexpectedly, the third sister just glanced at the eldest cousin's wife, then stood quietly with her hands down, obviously giving way to the eldest cousin's wife and letting her go first.
It’s true. The sun rises from the west.
Yuan Wanru has her reasons for being so arrogant.
Liang Yusong is so calculating, the Cao family must have been in her plan for a long time. When Liang Zhi returns to Beijing, she will probably match Cao Lanxin and Liang Zhi together just like in the book.
Since she and Cao Lanxin were not on good terms, Liang Yusong would not suspect Cao Lanxin.
In the future, maybe Cao Lanxin will be able to play a role again like this time.
Besides, she didn't like Cao Lanxin in the first place, so why should she be peaceful with her?
-
Liang Yusong didn't sleep well all night. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would have an illusion that a mouse would jump out from somewhere.
At night, the room was brightly lit, and with Lamei and Lu'e by her bedside, she felt a little more secure.
After the fourth watch, she couldn't bear it any longer and forced herself to take a nap.
When she heard that the Cao sisters came to visit, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
If the Cao family was not still useful to her, why would she lower herself and become friends with Cao Lanxin and the others?
Didn’t you see that Lu Rong, the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family, looked down on these two merchant girls?
While she was still dressing up, she heard that Yuan Wanru had arrived.
Thinking of yesterday's humiliation, she was so angry that she threw the pearl hairpin in her hand away: "What is she doing here?"
The pearl hairpin hit Lamei's neck and left a scar.
Lamei didn't dare to cry out in pain, and whispered, "If you really feel uncomfortable, you might as well refuse it."
Liang Yusong glanced at her sideways with a cold look, and Lamei was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.
"Rejected? Am I afraid to meet her?"
"Give me some rouge and a dragonfly-beaded hairpin."
Not long after, Liang Yusong, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, appeared in the side hall.
At this time, there were more than just Yuan Wanru and the other two coming to visit the patient. Lu Yun and the others had also come.
Liang Yusong looked energetic, as if the shock yesterday had never happened and had no effect on her.
Yuan Wanru saw through her cover-up at a glance.
She used black eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows, rouge to paint her lips, and a flower ornament to decorate her forehead. However, no matter how exquisite the makeup was, it could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.
Obviously, this person didn't sleep well last night.
Liang Yusong smiled in a dignified and gentle manner: "It's just that I caught a cold at night and feel a little uncomfortable. I'm really sorry to have troubled everyone to think about me and come to visit me."
Cao Lanxin glanced at Yuan Wanru before speaking: "Sister Liang went out with us and came back sick. It is reasonable for us to come and visit her."
"Besides, my great-aunt is also worried about you. She reminded us last night to come and see you, otherwise she would be worried."
Yuan Wanru smiled as she listened to their greetings. When they had almost finished talking, she said, "I slept really well last night. But Liuyan, who was beside me, said that she heard the squeaking of mice at night and woke up several times in the middle of the night."
"She must have been terrified by what she saw yesterday. I saw that she was in a very bad mood, so I let her go back to sleep for a while this morning."
"I was worried that Miss Liang would not be able to sleep well, but I didn't expect that Miss Liang was so courageous."
"You look so radiant, it seems you didn't dream of mice at night, it's a good thing."
The smile on Liang Yusong's face has completely disappeared.
What she hates to hear the most now is the word "rat".
Even the character “rat” is not acceptable.
That kind of dirty thing actually crawled over her body...
Every time she thought about it, she felt sick.
But this woman still wants to bring it up!
For the first time, she turned cold towards Yuan Wanru: "What on earth does Miss Yuan mean? Do you want me to be frightened and unable to sleep?"
Her face, which was always gentle and kind, was now as cold as ice, with her red lips pursed into a straight line, looking like a completely different person than usual.
But Yuan Wanru felt that Liang Yusong was more pleasing to the eye like this than when she pretended to be weak and gentle.
"Don't be angry, Miss Liang. You are misinterpreting my meaning. If I wasn't worried about you, why would I come to see you so early in the morning?"
"Look, I gave you some fabric. It's really sad that Miss Liang misunderstood me like this."
Liang Yusong's eyes were cold. Did she want this piece of shabby material?
“That’s thoughtful.”
Yuan Wanru seemed not to feel her anger. She looked at Liang Yusong with a distressed look on her face: "If you are afraid of mice, don't force yourself. You won't be able to exhaust yourself."
"We have a folk remedy in the countryside, which is to smoke away rats with garlic."
Lu Yun asked curiously, "How do you fumigate?"
Yuan Wanru said: "Cut the garlic into slices, or mash it into paste, and place it in various places in the room. When the mice smell the smell, they will naturally not dare to come."
"If you are afraid of rats getting close to you, you can smear garlic all over your body or eat it, and the rats will naturally stay away from you."
Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "I have already told the kitchen staff to send a basket of garlic to Feicui Xuan later. Let's see if Miss Liang needs it."
The method seems to be effective, but if you use this method, you will smell like garlic.
How can a girl meet people when she smells like garlic?
Does she really want to help Liang Yusong, or is she deliberately trying to disgust her?
Everyone looked at each other, some of them confused.
