Chapter 110: Accepting Defeat
"You...you dare!"
Huo Siyuan didn't expect that his attempt to escape would be discovered so quickly, and he tried to deny it.
Huo Jin heard the low, hoarse voice, which was chilling. "If Second Brother is a coward, then there's no need to accept defeat."
Liang Weiyuan crossed her arms and watched the show, then added with a smile, "But the Second Master's reputation for not being able to afford to lose is probably going to spread throughout the mansion."
The couple seemed to be singing a duet in tacit understanding, talking back and forth, and Huo Siyuan's face turned red in an instant.
He had just shined brightly in front of the Crown Prince. What would happen if he got a bad reputation?
"I admit it, who said I don't admit it!"
Thinking about the bright future ahead of him, Huo Siyuan closed his eyes and made up his mind. He fell to his knees and slapped himself in the face.
"That's enough! Get out of my way!"
He growled at Wei San and fled away in a very shameful manner.
Little did he know that the couple didn't take him seriously at all. They looked at each other and started playing chess again.
"Husband..."
Huo Siyuan returned to the west wing in anger and found Liang Shanyu still in the yard, as if waiting for him.
Liang Shanyu didn't want to wait.
But she had finally taken the opportunity of the literati banquet to ease her relationship with Huo Siyuan, so she naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to press on.
"What are you still doing here?"
Huo Siyuan still had a sullen look on his face as he walked straight past her into the room, showing no concern at all.
"Of course I'm waiting for my husband to come back." Liang Shanyu had suffered such humiliation many times and was used to it, so she consciously followed Huo Siyuan.
She didn't forget to flatter him with a fake smile, "Well, husband, have you really dampened the First Wife's spirit? Liang Weiyuan must be extremely jealous."
Unexpectedly, Huo Siyuan turned angry as if he had been hit by a firecracker, and immediately shouted: "Shut up! Don't mention what happened tonight again!"
When he turned around, Liang Shanyu saw clearly that there was a slap mark on his face, not too deep or too shallow.
Oh!
It seems that he got nothing out of it and was completely disappointed!
Liang Shanyu cursed in her heart.
But the more times like this happened, the more she wanted to show weakness, and in a blink of an eye, she put on an expression of grievance.
She stroked her swollen belly and sobbed, "What's wrong with my husband? But what did Yu'er do wrong?"
"Yu'er is pregnant, but she still thinks day and night about how to help her husband succeed. If anything makes her unhappy, she will tell him clearly..."
Liang Shanyu lowered her head, and the rouge in her almond-shaped eyes was so smudged that it looked as if tears were about to fall.
"My dear husband, if you are still upset, please beat me or scold me to vent your anger. I only hope that my dear husband will not get himself hurt by anger."
When Huo Siyuan saw her like this, the anger in his heart stagnated and he had nowhere to vent it.
After witnessing how she tortured Cui'er, he naturally would not be fooled by Liang Shanyu's pitiful attitude anymore.
Besides, she used to be pretty and charming, but now she has become plump and bloated, and it is really glaring to look so weak.
Huo Siyuan stared at her with her head lowered, and suddenly he thought of Liang Weiyuan's cold, jade-like eyebrows and eyes, and her beautiful smile and frown, and his heart suddenly felt suffocated again.
The two are so different that they cannot be compared at all.
But when he saw Liang Shanyu's slightly trembling shoulders, and knew he would need her advice in the future, he could only snort heavily, "Forget it, I was a little angry, and I shouldn't have been angry with you."
"I'm just mad. You're pregnant and you don't know how to rest. What if you have a miscarriage?"
It sounded like a casual remark, but Liang Shanyu still showed an enjoyment and gave him a coquettish look.
"It seems that Yu'er is overthinking it. I didn't expect my husband to be so worried about me."
"My husband just went to Qingzhu Courtyard. How was it?"
Hearing this, Huo Siyuan felt a burning pain on his face.
"Then Liang Weiyuan is naturally extremely envious." He lied with a bad look on his face.
It was to save his own face and to appease Liang Shanyu at the same time.
"She doesn't have a life as comfortable as yours."
"Huo Jin saw that sickly kid coughing up blood and foaming all over the bed, and Liang Weiyuan standing by the bed covered in dust and dirt. How could she be as delicate as you? I regret it so much."
Liang Shanyu frowned as she heard this, subconsciously disbelieving it.
Liang Weiyuan was in charge of the family a while ago, but now he is in such a disgrace?
Seeing that she seemed to be half-believing and half-doubting, Huo Siyuan jumped up as if a sore spot had been touched.
"Why, you don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself!"
"Yesterday, a maid saw basins of blood being brought out from Qingzhu Courtyard. Who else could it be if not Huo Jin?"
What he said was exactly the day when Huo Jin went to Ye Zhonglin for treatment. He felt so happy at that time.
Liang Shanyu also knew this, so when she heard this, she was already 80% convinced, and a look of joy appeared in her eyes.
The eldest wife didn't say anything, it turned out that she was really suppressing Huo Jinjian's illness.
Then Liang Weiyuan is really not as glorious as she appears!
Thinking of this, Liang Shanyu felt excited and couldn't wait to see Liang Weiyuan's expression tomorrow.
Liang Weiyuan had no idea of the second branch's ability to fabricate stories.
When I woke up early in the morning, I wanted to give Huo Jin a massage first before dealing with the chores, but suddenly I saw Mei Shu coming in happily, and I didn't even bother to report to him.
"Girl, girl."
"The concierge just announced that our wife is outside the mansion and is here to visit you!"
