Chapter 377 Poisoned by Her Own Father
Master Liang stood up, pointing a trembling finger at him, and said fiercely, "You, a mere shopkeeper with no family background, dare to marry my daughter? If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use in the Zhou family, I would never have let you into my home."
Manager You understood all of this, but hearing Master Liang say it so bluntly still stung him.
He's betting on Miss Liang's deep affection for him.
As expected, when Miss Liang Rou'er heard that her father was going to take action against Manager You, she rushed over from the backyard.
"Father, he is my future husband, how could you lay a hand on him?"
Master Liang was furious and said sternly, "Your marriage is off! Rou'er, you are not allowed to marry a man like that!"
Liang Rou'er was determined to marry Manager You. "Father, I have no choice but to marry him. I'm already pregnant with his child."
Mr. Liang's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at his daughter in disbelief.
He had a daughter late in life, and she was his only precious daughter. He was thinking of finding her a capable and sensible husband to help support the Liang family business.
I never expected her to do such a despicable thing.
He was filled with remorse. He should have known better than to use his daughter to tempt Manager You. Now he had really lost more than he gained.
The Zhou family didn't stumble, but they ruined their own daughter.
If word got out that she was pregnant out of wedlock, it would be a disaster.
"You! You brat!" The more Master Liang thought about it, the more he couldn't stop, and finally he clutched his chest and fainted.
"Father!" Liang Rou'er quickly stepped forward to help her father up.
Manager You was also frightened and immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor.
The Liang family was thrown into chaos.
That night, just as Manager You was still gloating over his ability to enter the Liang residence by relying on the child in Liang Rou'er's belly, Master Liang made up his mind and ordered his servants to prepare an abortion potion for his daughter.
Liang Rou'er assumed it was a pregnancy-preserving medicine sent by her father and drank it all in one go.
At night, Liang Rou'er suffered unbearable abdominal pain and heavy bleeding.
This terrified Mr. Liang. He had thought that as long as his daughter took this medicine, the baby would be born safely and it wouldn't affect her health.
But seeing the unstoppable bleeding, he panicked completely and hurriedly sent someone to try to find a way to invite the imperial physician from the palace.
Manager You came with the imperial physician.
"Master, what happened to Rou'er?"
Without saying a word, Master Liang punched Manager You, shouting, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have suffered like this!"
Manager You looked at Master Liang with a puzzled expression, "Rou'er was fine during the day, how could she suddenly miscarry?"
Master Liang remained silent, his eyes darting around nervously.
Manager You noticed something amiss and exclaimed in disbelief, "It was you? You did this?!"
Enraged, Master Liang slammed him to the ground. "I am her biological father, how could I possibly harm her? It is you who harmed my daughter! If it weren't for you, how could a young woman of marriageable age be pregnant!"
As he spoke, he picked up a chair and was about to smash it at Manager You.
Manager You reached out to block it, and there was a loud bang.
His arm was almost broken.
Just as they were arguing, the imperial physician came out of the room and said, "Master Liang, your daughter's bleeding has stopped."
Master Liang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Imperial Physician."
The imperial physician stroked his beard and sighed, "However, the abortion medicine your daughter took was too strong, and coupled with her special constitution, she is now severely depleted of qi and blood, and I'm afraid she will have difficulty conceiving again in the future."
"What? It's going to be hard to get pregnant again?" Master Liang was stunned.
He only had one daughter, and he thought that if he married her in the future, the children he had would take the surname Liang, so that he would have an heir. Now that even his daughter can't have children, it means that the Liang family line has completely died out.
Manager You was also taken aback.
He was an only child and had been influenced by his grandmother and mother since childhood, so it was impossible for him to marry a woman who could not conceive.
At that moment, the way he looked at Liang Rou'er was different.
Seeing that they were lost in thought, the imperial physician cleared his throat and said, "I will prescribe some medicine for Miss Liang. You should take good care of her and help her recover. Otherwise, if she bleeds again, even the most divine being will be powerless to save her."
Master Liang snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Yes, Imperial Physician."
The imperial physician was somewhat annoyed at being summoned at night. Looking at this large family, he roughly guessed what had happened. He felt rather disdainful of the Liang family, prescribed a few doses of medicine, and then left immediately.
Manager You stood there stunned for a long time, but in the end he chose to stay by Miss Liang's side and take care of her.
He already had other plans in mind. After marrying Miss Liang, he would send Master Liang to his death. After acquiring the Liang family's wealth, he would marry another woman, and the same thing would happen.
