Chapter 49: My Daughter Is Just Visiting
Liang You sat back in the armchair, tapping out rhythm with his fingertips on the armrest, which was his habit on the battlefield.
Now he also understood what Liang Shanyu meant, that she was going back to her parents' home to ask for money.
"Jin Jian is unconscious, so it's her responsibility to be the head of the family. Since you're married into the Huo family, you should abide by the rules." Liang You said with a light cough.
"Rules?" Liang Shanyu sneered. "She has so many rules. They're all obviously for her daughter. She just wants her to live an uneasy life!"
"Because she's in charge of the household and the old lady has her back, Siyuan and her parents-in-law can't say anything. My daughter has suffered a lot and has become so thin in just a few days that she's almost unrecognizable!"
Liang You glanced at her for a long moment, then said helplessly, "Just bear with it. Such a big mansion won't really treat you harshly. A daughter who gets married still has to learn..."
"Learn what? Learn to be stepped on by others?" Liang Shanyu couldn't help herself when she saw her father making excuses.
I've hinted so clearly, how come my father doesn't hear it?
"My daughter, don't learn these things! She wants money and a farm! Give her five hundred acres of good farmland and a shop. Even if something happens in the future, she will have these things to support herself."
"Enough." Liang You stood up suddenly, looking a little embarrassed.
He was on the battlefield all year round, and Li Qingxue was in charge of the money in the general's mansion.
And because he felt guilty towards Li Qingxue, he did not keep any reward and salary for himself and handed it all over.
Now that Liang Shanyu has come back for help, where does he get the extra money?
If he asked Li Qingxue for it, he would not get any good result given his wife's temper.
These things were embarrassing, but he would never reveal them in front of Lin Mo Niang and Liang Shan Yu. In fact, he himself had nothing and felt powerless.
Liang You was a man of integrity, and he wouldn't be incompetent in front of his daughter. He sternly scolded her, "A daughter who's married off is like spilled water. You have to make your own decisions about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Your father can't help you."
"Besides, Wei Yuan is also my daughter. If I only help you, how will I explain this to Wei Yuan?"
"well."
Seeing Liang Shanyu's face full of disbelief and hurt, Liang You couldn't bear it and turned his face away.
"Your father will be returning to the frontier soon. You are not a child anymore. You should take care of yourself in the future.
Liang You finished talking to himself and closed his eyes. No matter how Liang Shanyu cried, he remained calm, acting like a stern father.
After begging till three quarters past midnight, Liang Shanyu saw that Liang You was determined to ignore her. She had no other choice but to stomp her feet in anger and rush out of the study.
Since her father doesn't support her, is there only one option left for her to turn to her aunt?
That bitch Li Qingxue is very strict, and my aunt probably doesn't have much money. What little savings I have have been used as her dowry. It will probably be a waste of money if I go there!
Liang Shanyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and bumped into Li Qingxue's gilded sedan chair head-on when she turned around the corridor.
The moment the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, Liang Shanyu subconsciously widened her eyes and shivered.
Li Qingxue sat upright in the sedan chair, her bright red brocade jacket embroidered with a mandarin duck with spread wings.
Liang Zixiao stood beside his mother's sedan chair with his arms folded. The scar on his face from the tip of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth looked as ferocious as a snake in the morning light.
Li Qingxue was in charge of the general's mansion, so the doorman naturally did not dare to hide the news of Liang Shanyu's return.
So the mother and son waited for a long time.
"The second young lady has finally come back to her parents' home, and now she's in such a hurry to leave?" Li Qingxue's voice was shrouded in ice, and her fingertips lightly tapped the jade bead curtain beside the sedan.
That beaded curtain alone is worth more than ten times more than her gold hairpin.
Liang Shanyu's eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. She raised her hand to push down her veil and pretend to be stupid.
"Why are you hiding? Do you think I'm blind?" Liang Zixiao sneered. The sword at his waist was unsheathed three inches, and the beast head on the hilt was swallowing its mouth, which was terrifying. "You sneaked back to ask for money, and you still have the nerve to hide."
It was obvious that her conversation with Liang You was heard clearly.
With a bitter taste in her throat, Liang Shanyu could only bow in disappointment.
"Mother, brother." She began to argue, "I just came back to visit father..."
"Visiting?" Li Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, but her eyes were as fierce as a blade. "Do you have to hide when you come to visit? Will you cry and beg for money in the study?"
She waved her skirt and suddenly stood up and approached, the fragrance of agarwood on her body mixed with the pressure came towards him.
"Last time I came back, you didn't even offer a full cup of tea, and now you're trying to get something for nothing. Do you think my Liang family is your shameless bank?"
Facing the cold light in Li Qingxue's eyes, Liang Shanyu's legs and feet unconsciously softened, and she said in a trembling voice: "I didn't."
"Hmph." Liang Zixiao had always disliked Liang Shanyu's aggrieved look, as she inherited her aunt's aggrieved look, and his eyes became more fierce and disgusted.
"Don't think you can hide your thoughts from the world. Huo Jin is about to wake up, and you're afraid that you're no longer useful, so you want to come back and live off your parents."
"I'm telling you—" Liang Zixiao grinned, his scar twisting into a terrifying arc along with his expression, "No way!"
"We're waiting to settle every single thing you and that bastard Huo Siyuan did to Wei Yuan!"
