"That Cui Yuanbei is a dissolute son, Mother!"
When Liang Tian'er said these words, she was very calm, so calm that it was almost devastating.
"No daughter of an official would willingly step into such a fiery pit! Qingyu, the young lady of Ruyi Tower, was tortured to death by him on his bed!"
"Everyone knows it's a case of marrying up, so how could I possibly have any good fortune? My dad's batch..."
Before Liang Tian'er could finish speaking, large raindrops began to fall.
At the same time, the tightly closed door in front of her was suddenly flung open.
"Liang Tian'er!"
A loud, forceful rebuke came from the person inside the room; it was clearly a warning.
Liang Tian'er's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened little by little, and the light in her eyes for her mother disappeared.
I calmed down.
But Liang Nianyu already understood what her daughter was trying to say.
She was unassuming and somewhat weak, feeling guilty towards her husband and father for not being able to have more children.
But she truly loved her daughter, Liang Tian'er.
“Cheng Lang, that second young master of the Cui family is really so dissolute. We absolutely cannot let Jiao Jiao marry him. He's our only child…”
She hadn't finished speaking.
Then another figure emerged from the house—her father, Jiao Jiao's grandfather, Liang Liuwei.
"Ayu, stop talking! This girl, Tian'er, absolutely has to get married, or the entire Liang family will collapse!"
Liang Liuwei stood on the steps, looking at the impending storm in the sky, sighed, and looked at the young girl kneeling on the ground.
"Tian'er, you are a sensible child. You have suffered for the sake of the Liang family and your sworn brother!"
The rain was getting heavier, obstructing visibility.
Liang Tian'er knelt on the ground, with her mother holding an umbrella over her head. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everything in front of her was a white blur.
It concealed the cold smile on her lips.
"Help Miss back to Furong Garden, Cheng Jun, you accompany Ayu back to Jing Garden!"
Liang Tian'er looked up, trying to see her maternal grandfather clearly.
But she found that she couldn't understand how such a person could exist.
She loves her daughter, but prefers to hand over power in the family to a son-in-law.
That daughter seemed to be just a plaything, like a pampered cat...
She was fed and entertained well, but they wouldn't let her use her claws; she could only be manipulated at will.
Sometimes Liang Tian'er would wonder if she was sick, or if she was too unlike a girl and should just be obedient.
"Miss, Anxin cake is here."
Mo Han placed the pastries in front of Liang Tian'er and then went to stand guard at the door.
Liang Tian'er broke open the pastry and pulled out a stack of small slips of paper.
After reading the words on it, she mechanically burned the paper.
She knew why her father and grandfather were so kind to her younger brother.
It turns out they are the same kind of people.
Liang Tian'er calmed down, ground ink, picked up a brush, wrote a short secret note, and stuffed it into the hidden compartment at the bottom of the teapot.
"Send them to Liuyun Pavilion! The sooner the better! I'm afraid I won't be able to protect those sweet potatoes."
She can't afford to fall out with her family right now; she needs to be obedient and take the opportunity to prepare everything.
Miss Mu's Liuyun Pavilion was the only place she could trust and dared to trust.
...
"Little Juanjuan, you've arrived in the capital. Would you like to visit my Liuyun Pavilion? I'll give you some nice things."
Mu Zhaoyuan teased the child in front of her.
Soft and cuddly, obedient and quiet, much more fun than my younger siblings.
You should know that her few younger sisters have always liked to chase and hit people since they were little.
The only little sister, Xiaoqi, was in poor health, quiet and elegant, well-read, and shy like a shrew.
That made her afraid to tease him properly.
But Juanjuan is different. She is like a daisy growing in the field, pretty and cute, but not afraid of wind and rain, and grows strong and healthy.
"Liuyun Pavilion? What's that?"
Juanjuan still couldn't understand what those pavilions and buildings were for.
Bai Yunxing glanced at her cousin, then said to her younger sister, "There are lots of good stuff inside, you can take a few more."
"You're quite impolite."
Mu Zhaoyuan glanced at Bai Yunxing, then looked at Juanjuan and explained to her, "It's a jewelry store inside, the jewelry is so beautiful, but..."
“Some beautiful things are dangerous, like bracelets, you press them here.”
Mu Zhaoyuan pointed to the small bracelet on her wrist and asked Juanjuan to press it.
Juanjuan looked at Mu Zhaoyuan warily.
"Danger."
As Sister Mu just mentioned, she's a little hesitant to press it.
"It's okay, it's not dangerous."
At Mu Zhaoyuan's instruction, Juanjuan reached out and pressed her hand on the ruby on the bracelet.
The next moment, with a "click", a small hidden compartment on the bracelet opened, revealing a round pill inside.
Juanjuan's eyes lit up; she found it very rare.
"This is for storing life-extending pills. Wearing it on your hand will prevent you from losing it," Mu Zhaoyuan said. "There are some that can save lives, and some that can take lives. Juanjuan can go and choose one later. If you like it, take it."
"Thank you, sister," Juanjuan replied, but shook her head and continued, "But it's too expensive, I can't accept it."
Mu Zhaoyuan blinked and directly passed the buck to her cousin who had come back to life.
"He saved Mu Hu, and this thing was originally meant for him, but he's a boy, and he said he wanted to give it to his sister. Compared to the life-saving grace, this thing is worthless."
Juanjuan looked at her second brother.
She actually knew that the woman in front of her was "lying" to her, and that it wasn't really a matter of saving her life.
It's because her second brother is her sister's family, and she likes him, so he treats her well because of him.
But she also "lied" to her second brother that she actually knew his secret.
"Yeah, I don't like these things, so of course I'll give them to Juanjuan."
Bai Yunxing looked at his younger sister, indicating that she didn't need to be embarrassed.
