Chapter 173: It’s unknown whether it will be destroyed
Liang Moyuan's tone was neither hurried nor slow, and her question made Liang Shanyu break out in a cold sweat.
Liang Shanyu was sweating, and the fishy smell in the air became more obvious.
Liang Moyuan covered her nose unconsciously.
"Alright, drag him away and punish him according to the family rules."
After saying that, Meishu and Lanshu took action together and dragged Liang Shanyu away, who was looking unwilling.
Looking at Liang Shanyu's receding figure, Liang Moyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Jushu, do you smell anything?" Liang Moyuan turned around and asked Jushu, who had been silent behind her.
Jushu has the most sensitive nose.
She nodded and said, "I smelled that scent on Second Madam's body early in the morning. Although Second Madam used perfume to cover it up, the smell was too strong and..."
Ju Shu seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
Liang Moyuan looked at her and put his ear close to her.
Ju Shu then said, "The smell seems to be coming from the Second Madam's body."
Liang Moyuan was a little surprised. Thinking of the several times Liang Shanyu had almost had a miscarriage before, she couldn't help but frown.
"Find someone to keep an eye on the second house." Liang Moyuan ordered.
Whether it was Huo Siyuan's re-entry into the prince's house or Liang Shanyu's scent, these were all really strange and one had to be on guard.
While Liang Moyuan and Liang Shanyu were in the garden, Lord Huo had already arrived at the old lady's house.
The old lady sipped her tea leisurely, looking at Huo Hou's anxious expression, and snorted coldly, "Do you know why I called you here?"
Huo Hou was startled and bowed quickly, "I don't know. Today, apart from attending court, I have rarely traveled privately. I really don't know where I went wrong. Please tell me clearly, mother."
The old lady said with a cold face: "Your good son got the prince's things, is it possible that he didn't show filial piety to you?"
When these words were spoken, Lord Huo thought that the old lady was nitpicking about them, her children and grandchildren, for not being careful, so he quickly spoke up.
"Siyuan asked Yu to send some gifts early this morning. I was just picking out some good ones with her, intending to have her deliver them to mother. I was so focused that I missed the time to pay my respects."
In this way, Lord Huo also found an excuse for Yu's failure to come and pay her respects.
The old lady knew it all, but she wore a subtle smile on her face: "The prince's reward is too generous, you should keep it for yourself. If something happens tomorrow, you won't have to implicate me."
Upon hearing this, Huo Hou's face changed in shock.
"Mother, what are you talking about? The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent. If Siyuan becomes friendly with him, he will rise to prominence!"
Seeing that Huo Hou was still a little excited, the old lady wanted to hit him with her cane to wake him up.
"What a bastard! After so many years in the officialdom, you've forgotten even the most taboo things? Forming a clique for personal gain! Has Siyuan ever achieved anything worthy of a reward?"
"Do you know why the prince is so close to Siyuan?"
Listening to the old lady's angry words, Huo Hou seemed to have thought of something and his face turned pale.
"Mother...this..."
The old lady's eyes were filled with anger at her lack of fighting spirit.
Fortunately, Huo Jin saw this and made a good effort to marry Liang Moyuan, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion would have really declined.
It is even possible that it will be destroyed!
"I called you here today simply to have you properly discipline Siyuan. Yu and Liang Shanyu are both useless. If you, as a father, continue to indulge him, you will regret it one day."
"Go back and ask your good son what he has done!"
As for what Huo Jinjian said, she just mentioned it briefly. It was not until Huo Hou asked about it himself that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
The old lady didn't want to talk to Lord Huo anymore, so she waved her hand and told him to leave.
On the way back, Huo Hou thought of the old lady's serious tone and attitude, and a feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart.
As soon as Liang Moyuan returned to the yard, she saw Ye Zhonglin picking herbs outside alone.
"Doctor Ye." Liang Moyuan called softly, looking around.
Didn’t Huo Jin come back to try the medicine?
