Chapter 80 Does that child look like Yaoer?
After Marquis Yong'an left, Liang and Zhou Yao stayed in the room to take care of Su Ye.
Sitting on the chair, looking at Su Ye lying on the bed like a dead dog, Liang felt extremely disgusted.
If she wasn't infertile, she would never have kept Su Ye, the fool.
She had been paving the way for him, coaxing Marquis Yong'an into asking him to be the crown prince. She was just waiting for everything to be arranged, and when Marquis Yong'an died, Su Ye would inherit the title. Everything would be in her hands.
As a result, he is now so stupid that his title has been stripped away.
And Zhou Yao!
"You turned a deaf ear to what I said, didn't you?" Liang asked angrily.
Zhou Yao lowered her head guiltily and argued, "Su Rui was the first to strike. I don't know what she did, but with a few blows, she ripped my hunting coat apart and ruined my reputation in front of so many people. How can I discuss marriage? I'm so angry! She deserves to die!"
"But you didn't kill her!" This was what made Liang angry. If she wanted to kill her, she should have killed her with one blow and not given Su Rui a chance to get up. But now she was beaten so badly that she couldn't get up.
"I... I didn't expect her to be so lucky. Tang Yuli's escape wasn't enough, Yun Ji just happened to come and save her. The black panther was just one step away from biting her neck."
Zhou Yao hated it.
Just a little bit more.
It would be great if Yun Ji had arrived a step later.
She didn't understand why Yun Ji liked that lowly military slave.
"It's still a little worse."
While saying this, Liang also felt in her heart that Su Rui's luck was ridiculously good, as if God was helping her time and time again, which made her really uneasy.
"Forget it. It's too late now. There's no point in talking any more. Fortunately, the Marquis has agreed to change your surname as soon as possible. Let's get everything done before that damned Su Rui gains more power. Now you just have to behave yourself and forget about the Prince Ping's Mansion. After you change your surname, immediately discuss marriage with the Chengyang Xiao family."
The Chengyang Xiao family is also a wealthy family in the local area, but there are not many people in the family who serve as officials in the capital, and their official positions are not high. They are completely incomparable to the noble families like the Prince of Heping's Mansion.
But thinking about Chen He's attitude towards her that day, and what happened this time, even if Zhou Yao was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey.
"You stay here and take good care of this idiot. Don't let him suspect you. He still has some use."
After giving the instructions, Liang rubbed her temples with a headache and walked out the door.
Before they had walked far, Mother Qian came running over with a worried look on her face.
With just one look, Liang knew something was wrong and found an excuse to send everyone else away.
"Madam, something happened." Nanny Qian lowered her voice very low, as if she was afraid that anyone in the mansion except the two of them would hear it.
Mother Qian has been with Liang since she was a child. Over the years, she is no longer the type of person who gets flustered. She wouldn't be like this unless the matter was minor.
Liang immediately became uneasy and grabbed her hand tightly, asking, "Could it be Lin Chuan?"
Mother Qian nodded.
"Didn't he leave?" Liang felt dizzy.
"I don't know why he came back again. He said he wanted to see you, and he said...it was about the child."
That child?
Didn’t he die a long time ago?
Realizing something, Liang felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her legs went limp and she had to rely on Mother Qian for support.
"Go! Quick!"
The master and servant got in a carriage and headed west of the city.
After entering the alley and making sure that there was no one around, Liang left Qian's mother to guard the entrance of the alley. Then, wearing a veil hat, she quickly pushed open a courtyard door and rushed in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Chuan sitting on a bench with his legs stretched out in a hurry and shaking his legs in annoyance. When he saw her coming, he immediately stood up, looking at a loss like a child who had done something wrong.
"Didn't you say that the child had been dealt with long ago? Where did this other child appear from now?" Liang asked angrily.
"I...I couldn't bear it at the time. After all, he's Yao'er's child. I haven't raised him since he was little. I wanted to raise him as Yao'er and didn't plan to let him come to Shengjing. This was an accident, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."
"Are you afraid that I'll worry, or do you want to control me?"
Lin Chuan's expression suddenly turned cold, "In your heart, am I this kind of person?"
Knowing that she had just lost her temper and had spoken so hastily that she had hit the madman, Liang could only take a deep breath, calm herself down, and spoke slowly, "I was furious, but you know that child will kill Yao'er. Now Su Rui is in Shengjing and has won Yun Ji's favor. She still remembers what happened five years ago. If she finds out about this child and finds him, Yao'er will be finished."
Lin Chuan knew he was in the wrong and lowered his head, saying, "I know that too, so I've always been very careful. This time he was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture, and I thought they wouldn't deal with children and would definitely throw him into the Orphanage, so I went to wait and buy him out. But he wasn't sent there, and I waited for several days but nothing happened."
That's impossible.
The child was only four years old, and Jingzhao Prefecture would not punish him. Moreover, those bandits had already been sentenced by then, and the child should have been sent to the Orphanage long ago.
If not, then it can only be...
"It's not easy for me to find someone to investigate, how about you send someone to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask?"
"No," Liang immediately refused. "They probably took him away. If I send someone to investigate, there will definitely be traces left, and we'll arouse suspicion. I can't do that."
"Who took it away?" Lin Chuan asked.
Liang couldn't think of who would know the child's identity and take him away from Jingzhao Prefecture?
Although Lin Chuan did not act as she said this time, he would never harm Zhou Yao. Since the bandits did not know the child's identity, no one else would know it.
"Does that child look like Yao'er?" Liang suddenly asked.
Lin Chuan shook his head, "Not really, just the eyebrows and eyes are similar."
Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
As long as they are not exactly the same, there are thousands of similar people in this world. As long as he denies it, no one can say that the child is Zhou Yao's.
"Maybe someone has taken a fancy to that child. I will continue to investigate. You leave Shengjing first."
Many aristocratic families in Shengjing City like to keep male prostitutes, and this is also the destination of most of the little boys in the Orphanage.
Maybe the child was taken away by that man while he was in prison.
This is the only explanation that makes sense for now.
"I won't leave. I'll wait until I find him."
"No! This child must die! Lin Chuan, don't kill our child out of a moment of kindness."
Our child, this sentence made Lin Chuan compromise again.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
After Lin Chuan left, Liang took a few deep breaths before turning around and walking out.
Mother Qian came over, supported her and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"
"Take some money, find someone you don't know, and go ask those information dealers if any family has recently adopted a new male prostitute, around four or five years old."
Although Liang felt that this was the biggest possibility, she still felt uneasy if she couldn't be completely sure.
Only when that child dies can people rest in peace.
"Yes...My Lord!"
As soon as Qian's mother uttered the words of agreement, they turned into a scream.
Liang suddenly raised her head and saw the Marquis of Yong'an riding up to the alley. He looked at her as she was about to get on the carriage, then glanced into the alley and asked, "Why are you leaving the house in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
Liang never thought that Marquis Yong'an would chase after her. Although she left in a hurry, no one else knew about it. How could the news reach Marquis Yong'an's ears so quickly and he would follow her in a hurry?
But she didn't dare reveal a single detail on her face, feigning guilt as she said, "I...I wanted to come out and look at a small courtyard to give to Yao'er. After all, after Yao'er changed her surname, she'll be discussing marriage, and she might get married soon. I gave all the money in the mansion to Rui'er, and it wouldn't be good to let Yao'er marry off without any money, which would make people laugh at her."
"This Zhouxingfang is not a good place." There was no joy in the eyes of Yong'an Hou.
Liang knew this wasn't a good place, and said awkwardly, "But the money I have is only enough for this place, so I dare not tell you."
"You and I are husband and wife, there is nothing we can't say. This land is not worthy of Yao'er, I will prepare it for her." Marquis Yong'an got off the horse and took Liang's hand and got into the carriage together.
Liang knew that Marquis Yong'an would not really believe it, so she winked at Qian Mama before getting in the car.
At the same time that Liang and Yong'an Hou were returning home by carriage, Su Rui's carriage just arrived at the city gate.
She spent some money to get Bai Xiaotong from Shengjing City to say a few irrelevant words.
Naturally, it was she who sent someone to inform Marquis Yong'an.
