Chapter 99: Right and Wrong, There is a Scale for Everything
Huo Siyuan grabbed the teacup beside his pillow and smashed it to the ground, panting in anger. She was so scared that she took a step back, her back against the cold door.
"Don't think I don't know your little tricks. Don't you just want to act pitiful so that grandma and father will protect you and the child?"
By then, Liang Shanyu would be highly valued by the family. Even if he disliked her, what would it matter? She would have the support of her elders.
He didn't pamper her, but instead she wanted to use this kind of self-torture trick.
The more Huo Siyuan thought about it, the more disgust he saw in his eyes. "Don't think that you can do anything just by pleasing Grandmother. After all, you belong to my Second House. I have the final say on your life and death."
"I'm telling you, go and plead with my grandmother right now to lift the house arrest! If you can't, don't blame me for divorcing you and making you a despised woman!"
When Liang Shanyu heard the word "divorce", she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave and everything in front of her eyes went dark.
He didn't even want his cherished child?
If she was sent back to the General's Mansion while pregnant, the consequences would be...
Liang Shanyu held her waist, cold sweat sliding down her temples. The doctor had warned her not to get angry, but Huo Siyuan's insults cut into her heart like a knife.
She bit her bleeding lips and said in a trembling voice, "My husband has misunderstood. I only hope for your well-being and have no other thoughts at all."
"I'll go and ask my grandmother for mercy. My husband, please don't be angry!"
After saying that, she anxiously rushed to Shou'an Courtyard without waiting for Huo Siyuan's response.
A sudden, fine autumn rain made the stone slabs shine.
When Liang Shanyu stumbled through the hanging flower gate, the hem of her lilac skirt was covered in mud.
She didn't even hold an umbrella, she was soaked all over, her hair stuck to her pale face, and she looked as miserable as a frightened bird.
"Grandma, please have mercy!"
Liang Shanyu rushed straight into the yard and knelt heavily under the eaves, her knees hitting the brick surface with a dull sound.
Her bulging belly looked particularly prominent in the rain, making the old lady lose her composure, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened with shock.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly and be careful of the baby in your belly!"
Liang Shanyu, however, remained motionless. Still weak, she could only hold on tightly with both hands and plead, "Grandma, please spare Siyuan! He...he already knows he's wrong!"
She looked up at the hall, her voice trembling, full of sadness and grievance.
"Everything that happened last night was my granddaughter-in-law's fault. She failed to take good care of him, made a fool of herself, and even got him punished..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a stomachache. Liang Shanyu's face turned pale with pain and she could not help but curl up. Cold sweat mixed with rain water slid down her neck into her collar.
The old lady's brows were deeply twisted into a "川" shape. She stood up with the help of a dragon-headed cane and looked at her granddaughter-in-law kneeling in the rain. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
"You fool, get up and talk."
"No!" Liang Shanyu suddenly raised her voice, her voice tinged with tears. "If grandma doesn't agree, I will kneel down and not get up!"
She remembered Huo Siyuan's threat and Yu's narrow-mindedness, and pinched her palms so hard that blood marks appeared.
"Siyuan, he is truly repentant. Now he is crying bitterly in the room and blaming himself..." Lies spilled out from between her teeth, but she buried her head even lower, not wanting anyone to see the hatred in her eyes.
The old lady looked at Liang Shanyu's stubborn and pale face and frowned.
After staring for a moment, her cloudy eyes gradually showed a sense of disappointment.
The old man has his own standard for judging right from wrong.
What made her angry was that Liang Shanyu was so cowardly and hypocritical, just to plead for mercy for that bastard.
A wisp of green smoke wafted out of the bronze crane incense burner in front of the hall, which quickly dissipated in the rain. "You fool..."
The old lady waved her hand, her voice filled with helplessness, "Forget it, forget it. The ban will be lifted in three days. Get up now, don't hurt yourself."
Being confined to his house for three days is not a big deal as it will allow Huo Siyuan to recover from his injuries.
Liang Shanyu slumped to the ground, feeling relieved, and said, "Grandmother, thank you for your kindness!"
After a while, she struggled to get up and hurried back to tell Huo Siyuan the good news.
The old lady closed her eyes tiredly, and her dry lips pursed from time to time, feeling somewhat upset.
"Old Madam, don't worry too much." Ah Fu bowed, gently waving the round fan in his hand. "These things in the Marquis' Mansion will eventually pass."
"There has been chaos these past few days. My old bones really can't stand it anymore." The old lady raised her hand and rubbed her temples, her movements a little slowly.
The only thing that made her happy was the news that her eldest grandson was recovering.
Seeing this, Ah Fu said in relief, "There's something good happening today. Did you forget? The old Taifu's wife is coming to visit this afternoon."
"You haven't seen Madam Xie for a long time. You'll definitely feel better if you have a few words with her then."
When the old lady heard this, there was finally some light in her eyes and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"I had forgotten about this matter. She is the most open-minded person. Talking to her can make me feel better." The old lady sat up straight with a smile, straightened her clothes, and seemed to be more energetic.
"Tell Wei Yuan to go with me to greet the guests this afternoon. Don't be impolite."
