Chapter 50: Waiting for the settlement!
Seeing Liang Shanyu's face suddenly turn pale with fright, Li Qingxue raised her hand slowly to stop her son.
Wei Yuan said that she would personally settle accounts with this couple.
They only need to tell Liang Shanyu that if she dares to insult Wei Yuan, there will be no place for her even if she escapes back to the general's mansion.
Li Qingxue tossed a few taels of silver from her sleeve and dropped them at Liang Shanyu's feet as if to send her off. "It's shameful for you to be so poor. These five taels of silver are enough for you to hire a carriage and go back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"After all, losing face for the General's Mansion is a small matter. As Wei Yuan's half-sister, please don't lose face for our Wei Yuan in public."
Liang Shanyu looked at the pitiful amount of silver. In the Marquis' Mansion, the rewards Meishu gave to the little maids were more than this.
She clenched her fists in shame, her nails piercing her palms, but she heard Li Qingxue sneer and add:
"By the way, your aunt didn't raise her daughter well. She raised a shameless girl who climbed into bed. From now on, your monthly period will be stopped."
"She even has to grind flower petals for her own rouge now. You are so filial, but don't forget to help your poor aunt."
Liang Shanyu staggered half a step as if struck by lightning.
No wonder when she passed by her aunt's yard just now, most of the servants were gone, and no one even swept the fallen leaves in the yard.
"You're going too far!" Liang Shanyu raised her head indignantly. "I'm the legitimate daughter of the Liang family. You can't treat me and my aunt like this!"
"Who the hell are you, the daughter of the Liang family?" Liang Zixiao shouted disdainfully, his powerful voice shaking the lanterns in the corridor.
"Your mother is a concubine who isn't even qualified to be included in the family tree, and you are nothing but a shameless concubine. If you didn't want to publicize your family's scandal, do you think you could have set foot in the general's mansion?"
"Bah!" Liang Zixiao was a rough man and spat without any courtesy.
Li Qingxue sat back in the sedan chair and said calmly before the curtain fell, "Alright, this awful thing is unlucky. Zixiao, send the second young lady out and don't let her dirty the Liang family's land."
He said it was a gift, but Liang Zixiao drew his sword directly, his eyes like a wolf, and the blade reflected Liang Shanyu's pale face.
Liang Shanyu looked at the cold blade and swallowed hard.
At least in the Marquis' Mansion, no one would point a knife at her throat.
"Get lost." Liang Zixiao pressed the back of his knife against her shoulder intimidatingly. "Next time you come back without a message, I'll treat you as an assassin and chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
Liang Shanyu could no longer hold on, turned around and stumbled to run out.
Suddenly she thought of something, gritted her teeth, and quickly picked up the five taels of silver on the ground in shame.
Five taels of silver is enough for a small family to spend for half a year.
Anyway, she has been humiliated, so she doesn't want to waste the hard-earned money.
"Oh." Liang Zixiao spat with a look of disgust on his face, "This shameless person actually picked it up. Mom, did we give her a bargain?"
Li Qingxue's eyes flashed coldly as she said, "Look at the expressions of the servants."
There were many servants in the general's mansion, and the scene just now was seen clearly by many people.
Staring at Liang Shanyu's back as she fled in disgrace, they couldn't help but look at her with contempt: "A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, without even a trace of dignity. She's not as strong-willed as us servants..."
Liang Zixiao had good hearing and when he heard the servants whispering, he immediately grinned.
Her mother casually gave her five taels of silver and bought Liang Shanyu's integrity in front of the whole family. This was a huge fortune.
Liang Zixiao gave a thumbs up and said, "Mom is indeed one of the best business people in the world."
Li Qingxue glanced at him, and then the mother and son went back to the yard happily.
In another wing of the Marquis' Mansion, Liang Weiyuan also got up early at the hour of Mao.
Golden morning light leaked in through the window lattices of the Green Bamboo Courtyard.
When I walked into Huo Jinjian's room and lifted the bed curtain, I saw Huo Jinjian lying quietly. There was a very faint golden halo on his pale cheeks, and the handsome look on his brows was even softer than the morning light.
He tapped the edge of the bed with his right index finger, as if silently counting the hours.
It turned out that he was awake too.
"My husband got up early today." Liang Weiyuan reached out to test the temperature of the copper stove, then sat on the edge of the bed and helped Huo Jinjian sit up.
"Just in time, my husband should take his medicine."
Taking the medicine from Mei Shu, Liang Weiyuan brought the warm medicine bowl to her lips and blew on it, then said calmly, "Divine Doctor Ye said that the new medicine must be taken at the hour of Mao in order to draw Yang into the body."
Huo Jin heard the sound of the edge of the bowl touching his lips, and his mouth was gently pried open.
The medicinal juice has a bitter taste of snow lotus, but when you swallow it, a hint of sweetness appears on the tip of your tongue.
Huo Jinjian suddenly tapped her wrist with his index finger.
Liang Weiyuan understood and placed her hand on his abdomen.
His fingertips paused for a moment, as if gathering strength, before he slowly wrote the word "sweet".
