Chapter 67 It's Stinkier Than Ever
"Of course." Yu Shi, with a flushed face, interrupted the conversation and raised her voice deliberately so that the servants around her could hear.
"My son risked his life to protect the emperor. His Majesty was so pleased when he heard about it that even the head of the Imperial Hospital stayed up half the night."
In a blink of an eye, she saw Liang Shanyu stroking her lower abdomen. She raised her hand and pulled Liang Shanyu over, her eyes full of showing off.
"And here, the first great-grandson of the Marquisate, was given hundreds of years of ginseng by the Crown Prince himself to help him stay pregnant."
Liang Shanyu smiled shyly at the right moment. She was wearing a lilac-colored long dress today, with a pearl flower pinned in her hair. Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and she looked a bit gentle as a new mother.
She stroked her abdomen again and again and said, "It's all thanks to my husband that he has achieved such a great success. I am just enjoying his blessing."
These words were pleasant to the ears, and Yu and Huo Siyuan straightened their backs proudly. Marquis Huo was even more delighted and said good things repeatedly.
When she caught sight of Liang Weiyuan, who was silent beside her, a hint of pride flashed across Liang Shanyu's eyes.
Huo Siyuan coughed and walked forward, his eyes falling on Liang Weiyuan, who nodded slightly and had a dignified posture.
He snorted softly, and said with an undisguised expression, "I have made such a contribution to the family, and Shanyu is also pregnant, which is a double happiness for the family. Why is the eldest sister-in-law silent?"
"Could it be that the eldest sister-in-law can't bear to see us have an easy life?"
Huo Siyuan raised the corners of his narrow eyes, his expression filled with contempt and superiority. Finally, he leaned in closer and chuckled in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Now you can clearly recognize who is the most suitable to be your husband, right?"
"What can my brother, who is paralyzed in bed, do? If you regret it, it's not too late..."
Before he could finish, Liang Weiyuan, feeling the foul air coming towards him, frowned in disgust and took a step back.
Raising her head again, her bright eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, but her voice was clear: "Second Young Master, just speak if you want to. Why are you leaning so close to make me uncomfortable? Perhaps after a night of recuperation in the palace, you've forgotten the rules of respecting your brother and his wife."
When she mentioned the word "uncomfortable", Liang Weiyuan gently covered her nose with a handkerchief and reminded her with a gentle smile: "Second Young Master, remember to rinse your mouth later. Your mouth... really stinks worse than before."
"you--!"
Huo Siyuan's eyes turned red with anger at the look of avoidance, and Yu and Liang Shanyu behind him also looked unhappy.
What's wrong with Liang Weiyuan? She's not as hesitant as I imagined, but instead has such a cold attitude?
It’s bad enough that they were domineering in the past, but now that they have won the favor of the prince, how dare she, Liang Weiyuan, still act so arrogantly?
"That's right."
But the next moment, Liang Weiyuan raised her jade hand slightly, and said with a smile that made it impossible to find any fault:
"How could I not want to see my sister-in-law having a good life? It's an honor for the Marquis' Mansion, and as the mistress of the household, I share the glory with everyone else. I'm so happy that I can't contain myself."
"I heard about the Second House's affairs yesterday, so I picked out some useful things from my dowry and presented them to my sister-in-law today. It is also a token of our First House's love. I hope my sister-in-law will accept it."
Liang Weiyuan's lips curved in a perfect arc, and she gestured to Zhushu sideways, "Bring the wild ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin paste from Changbai Mountain to nourish the Second Young Master."
Zhu Shu stepped forward in response.
When the brocade box was opened, two ginsengs of excellent quality were revealed.
Marquis Huo's eyes suddenly lit up, but the smiles of the Yu family members froze.
The quality of this wild ginseng is three times better than the one awarded by the prince.
"And this." Liang Weiyuan pointed to another brocade box embroidered with twin lotus flowers. "This is a pregnancy-maintaining medicine for my sister. It contains pearl powder from the South China Sea, which is said to be very good for the fetus."
She turned to Liang Shanyu, her snow-white eyes and gentle smile, "Congratulations, sister. The Marquis's family has an heir, which is a great joy."
Liang Weiyuan's every word and action was just right, neither arrogant nor impatient, making it difficult for Yu to laugh out loud.
Liang Shanyu subconsciously took the brocade box and felt it was cold to the touch.
She looked at Liang Weiyuan's calm eyes, and suddenly felt that those eyes were like a clear mirror, sucking all her pride into them without causing even a ripple.
My breathing suddenly stopped, my throat was choked, and I didn't know how to respond.
All these reactions were different from what I expected.
Shouldn't she be jealous? Why did she even congratulate him?!
"Weiyuan is so thoughtful." Yu chuckled in a rather sinister way and pulled Liang Shanyu, whose face was slightly flushed, over to her. "The eldest wife still knows the rules, unlike these two children..."
"Mother, you're too kind." Liang Weiyuan interrupted with a chuckle, "The Second Branch has brought honor to the Marquisate, so as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, we naturally have to take better care of them."
"It's just that the Second Young Master has just woken up and needs to rest. Don't let these rewards disturb his injuries."
These words were like a soft thorn, which instantly made the smugness on Huo Siyuan's face fade a little.
There was clearly nothing wrong with it, but it made him extremely uncomfortable!
