Chapter 48 Returning Home to Tell
"impossible!"
Yu's voice was like a chicken being strangled, piercing and sharp: "Yunxiangcao is a rare poison found in western Hunan that can kill people without being noticed. Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, it would take him half a year to detoxify it!"
"She is a girl in the boudoir, what can she understand?"
Yu paced back and forth in the room, becoming angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it against the wall.
Amid the sound of celadon shattering, brown tea trickled down the wall, leaving ugly trails.
"Damn it! I think that evil creature is just very lucky! Even the King of Hell won't take him!"
Huo Siyuan was splashed with tea, but he didn't dare wipe it off. He just stared at his mother's trembling fingertips in frustration: "But now he can do it. If he really wakes up, the position of the prince..."
"Useless thing." Yu took three steps to stand in front of him, her nails almost digging into his eyelids. "A little change makes you panic like this? Huo Jinjian is not a plague god, why are you so afraid of him?"
"Even if he could move today, wouldn't he still be lying there like a dead fish?"
Yu sneered, "Let's find a good opportunity to send him off completely."
Huo Siyuan looked at his mother's vicious face, swallowed his saliva, and his eyes gradually became fierce.
That's right, Huo Jinjian must die. If he wakes up, what will Huo Siyuan do to him? He must not be allowed to wake up!
The shadows of the trees outside the window suddenly rustled, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch and broken it.
"Is there someone?" Yu turned around suddenly, but only saw a shadow.
Liang Shanyu didn't dare to listen anymore. Before Yu came over to check, she lifted her skirt and ran quickly to her room.
In the moonlight, her shadow swayed on the blue bricks. When she passed through the hanging flower gate, even the gatekeeper called out "Second Young Master's Madam", but she seemed not to hear.
It was not until I hid in the room that I realized my palms were covered in cold sweat.
From the moment she saw Huo Jin could move, she guessed that Yu's mother and son would become restless. She eavesdropped on them just now and found that it was true.
"Two branches of the family… Two branches of the family…"
Liang Shanyu chewed these words viciously.
If Huo Jinjian really died, Huo Siyuan would immediately marry Liang Weiyuan to secure his position as the crown prince.
By then, even if I, a concubine's daughter who once competed with Liang Weiyuan for favor, was demoted to a concubine, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat a peaceful meal!
"But if Huo Jinjian wakes up..."
Liang Shanyu bit her handkerchief, thinking of Liang Weiyuan's iron fist when she was in charge of the family, and felt even more suffocated.
"I'm afraid the first one they'll deal with will be our second wife."
No matter what, the result is not in her favor!
Liang Shanyu's eyelids twitched wildly. The moonlight shone through the window lattice, casting her messy shadow on the ground.
"It seems I have to go back to my parents' home."
After much thought, Liang Shanyu had no choice but to stay out of it to save herself.
If she could return to her parents' home and ask her father for some farms and shops, then even if the Marquis' Mansion was in chaos, she would have a way out!
The next day, at the beginning of the morning hour, Liang Shanyu, without telling anyone, knocked on the door of the general's mansion while wearing a veiled hat, her fingertips shivering from the cold autumn wind.
The doorman came out and saw her, and hurriedly bowed: "Why did the Second Miss return home at this time? There is no news..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Liang Shanyu looked around and lowered her voice, "Take me to my father's study and don't make any noise!"
The doorman did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly closed the door and led Liang Shanyu in.
"Miss, we're in the study. The general is inside."
The doorman pushed open the carved wooden door and left tactfully, leaving behind a stale smell of books mixed with alcohol.
Liang You was leaning against an armchair, wearing a green robe, with a few empty wine jars piled at his feet.
When he heard the noise, he was displeased at first, but when he saw that it was Liang Shanyu, he started and sat up straight.
"Shanyu?" He wiped his mouth. "How come you..."
"Father."
Liang Shanyu's eyes immediately turned red, and she quickly threw herself on his knees, her crying voice deliberately sharp.
"My daughter is desperate. She was trampled on and abused in the Marquis' Mansion. I have no other options. I had no choice but to sneak back here. I only hope that father can help her!"
"My dear daughter, please tell me what happened."
Liang You didn't understand why, but Liang Shanyu was his and Lin Mo'niang's daughter, so he loved and cared about her. He helped Liang Shanyu up and closed the study door.
"It's all because of my sister!" Liang Shanyu cried and stamped her feet.
"After she took over the household, she targeted me in every way. She deducted 30% of my monthly allowance, and even the food I ate was quite light. She said a concubine's daughter-in-law needed to be frugal, but my sister and the Marquis' Mansion clearly didn't need this little money."
"Father, listen to me, isn't my sister deliberately bullying me? She's left me with no choice but to use my dowry to cover my daily expenses."
