Chapter 103: Rescue
Liang Weiyuan came up to the car with bated breath and concentration. Just as her fingertips touched the curtain, she heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air from inside the car.
Liang Weiyuan suddenly lifted the curtain, only to see Old Madam Xie falling in the corner of the carriage, her silver hair disheveled from the struggle, and she was both shocked and angry.
The maid in front of her was holding a short knife high, with a vicious look on her face, as if she was about to stab the old lady.
"stop!"
Liang Weiyuan's sudden cold shout startled the maidservant who was about to commit the crime and made her pause.
While she turned her head to look, Meishu and Zhushu seized the opportunity to attack at the same time.
Meishu rolled in in an instant and kicked the sharp weapon out of the maid's hand. Zhushu quickly stood in front of Madam Xie and kicked her out of the carriage.
Liang Weiyuan followed closely and climbed into the carriage. Seeing Madam Xie's stunned expression, she frowned and asked with concern, "Madam, are you injured?"
"Thank God..."
Hearing the woman's soft voice, Mrs. Xie came back to her senses from the shock and grabbed Liang Weiyuan's wrist.
"How could you..."
Seeing that the old lady was fine, Liang Weiyuan helped her sit up and said soothingly, "I just saw that the maid was behaving strangely, and I was suspicious and worried, so I followed her without permission."
Old Madam Xie took a few deep breaths, and when she looked at Liang Weiyuan again, her eyes were filled with gratitude.
"I never thought there was such a sinister person hiding around me. Good boy, it's all thanks to you!"
Without waiting for Liang Weiyuan to speak, the old lady thought of something and immediately fumbled out a jade pendant from her bosom.
The jade pendant was emerald green all over, and the exquisitely carved dragon was glowing in the twilight, which was extremely extraordinary. He grasped Liang Weiyuan's hand tightly and handed it over.
"I don't know how to thank you. This is all I have. Keep it, kid. Consider it a token of my gratitude for my life!"
Since this jade pendant is something that is carried with you, it must be very treasured.
"Madam, you are too kind. This..." Liang Weiyuan wanted to refuse, but Madam Xie held her hand even tighter.
"Don't refuse!"
Madam Xie's voice suddenly rose, startling Meishu and Zhushu, who were escorting the maid outside the carriage, and looking sideways.
"Since you call me old lady, listen to me this time!" Old Lady Xie suddenly glared at me sternly. Although her face was embarrassed, her aura still revealed kindness and majesty.
"This jade is far less valuable to me than your life-saving grace."
"If you don't accept it, how will I ever have the face to visit your grandmother again?"
Hearing her say this, Liang Weiyuan slowly accepted the jade pendant, smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Then since I have accepted it, I should naturally help others to the end and personally escort the old lady back to the mansion safely."
"Mei Shu Zhu Shu, take the maid who attempted the assassination to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and hand her over to the old lady for personal punishment."
Liang Weiyuan's arrangements were well made. Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up and she became more and more satisfied. She couldn't help but raise her lips and sigh in her heart.
I must praise her granddaughter-in-law to my old friend!
After Liang Weiyuan sent the old lady back to the Taifu Mansion, he politely declined the invitation to come in and have a seat.
As the night deepened and the lights in the streets dimmed, I felt like taking a walk.
"girl!"
Zhu Shu, who was looking around to join in the fun, was suddenly startled and pointed at the stall in front.
"Look, isn't that Young Master Liang?"
"Brother?" Liang Weiyuan opened her lips slightly and looked over in silence.
The man standing in front of the stall twitched his ears and turned his head at the sound, and his black iron wristband made a cold sound.
Liang Zixiao was wearing tight clothes, and the red and black cloak he was wearing was rustling in the wind. His eyebrows were as sharp as knives, and his eyes were as majestic as a tiger. The scar at the end of his eye stretched to his cheekbone, making his face look even more cold and fierce.
You really are the big brother!
Liang Weiyuan's eyes curved with joy as she walked up to him.
"A Yuan?"
When Liang Zixiao saw that it was her, he glared at her and immediately strode forward. His rough hand hovered over her shoulder and then suddenly retracted, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
"It's so late, why are you still outside?"
His fierce eyes swept over Liang Weiyuan's slightly messy hair from the fight, and anger instantly rose in his eyes, "Did someone in the Marquis' Mansion give you a hard time?!"
Liang Weiyuan looked up at her brother with warmth, her eyes curved into two crescent moon pools.
Her elder brother looks like a big and rough man, but he is actually very thoughtful.
"Brother, don't misunderstand me. I'm sending Madam Xie back home today. Everything went well on the way. But brother, why are you here?"
Liang Zixiao's tense expression finally relaxed.
He took out a piece of osmanthus cake wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve, which was still warm.
"Mom kept saying she wanted to eat some dim sum from a time-honored restaurant in the west of the city, so she took a detour."
He carefully pressed the fragile pastry into his sister's hands, a movement that was completely inconsistent with his tall and fierce figure. He scratched the back of his head and grinned gently.
"Take this and eat it. I'll buy another one later and try it. It still tastes the same as it did back then."
