Chapter 97 Are you really sure that it was Su Ruiniang who deceived you?
Liang naturally knew that Zhou Yao was blaming her in her heart.
He knew his daughter best, so he deliberately ignored her for a few days and came today.
"Yes, it was you who wanted to go to Prince Long's mansion to be his concubine, and I agreed to it. But if I don't agree, what other options do you think you will have?"
Liang's words left Zhou Yao speechless.
She naturally knew that her reputation was ruined and there were countless bad things said about her outside. No good family would marry her, and the Marquis' Mansion would not accept her.
Can……
"That Changning is a madwoman who kills without blinking an eye. She hates me to the core. If I go there, she will definitely torture me in every way, making my life worse than death."
"Then you committed suicide?"
Zhou Yao would never dare to commit suicide, otherwise he would have died a few days ago.
Seeing her wilting, Liang took a deep breath and patiently advised, "Alright, there's always a way out. Besides, you came here as the daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, so you're my concubine. Even if Changning is unruly and willful, she wouldn't dare to harm you. As for the rest, just bear with it for now."
"The daughter of the Yong'an Marquis? I haven't changed my last name yet, so how can I be from the Yong'an Marquis?" At this point, Zhou Yao thought of something and excitedly grabbed Liang's hand. "Mother, the Marquis is still willing to change my last name, right?"
Liang shook her head. "Changing your surname is impossible, but I've already persuaded him to let you marry as the daughter of the Marquisate. The Marquis has already gone to get the documents to make you a concubine."
"She's just the daughter of a marquis, so what's the use? She's still no match for that bitch Su Rui." Zhou Yao shook off her hand, unconvinced.
Even if she fell into the mud, she couldn't bear to see Su Rui having a higher status than her.
"Why are you always comparing yourself to her?" Liang was annoyed, but remembering how she was in the same situation when she was young, she calmed down and said, "She's already dying. What's the point of comparing herself to her?"
Zhou Yao's eyes lit up. "Su Rui is going to die? Why?"
"Yun Ji and her had sex yesterday, and this morning news came out that Yun Ji would not become a monk and had been granted the title of Prince Yong. As for Su Rui, she was sent back. The Emperor will definitely not keep her. What else can she do except death?"
"Then she is definitely dead!" Zhou Yao was happy, but then she complained, "Why didn't Yun Ji deal with Su Rui earlier? Then what happened a few days ago wouldn't have happened."
Liang thought the same when she heard it, but the past cannot be changed, so it is meaningless to think about it.
It was a good thing that Su Rui was sent back at this time, otherwise the Marquis of Yong'an might not be willing to withstand the pressure and give Zhou Yao, the daughter of the Marquis, the identity to go to Prince Long's Mansion to exchange for the documents of a concubine.
Judging from the time, Marquis Yong'an should have returned home by now.
After giving Zhou Yao some instructions, Liang went back to the courtyard to wait. She knew that Marquis Yong'an would definitely be summoned by the old lady when he returned.
At this moment, Marquis Yong'an was kneeling on the stone slab in the old lady's main room.
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised the wooden stick in her hand and hit the Marquis of Yong'an on the back.
The blow didn't hurt Marquis Yong'an, but the force caused him to stagger.
"mother!"
The Marquis of Yong'an hurriedly reached out to help, but the old lady shook his hand off, angrily saying, "I'm not your mother. I don't have a son as arrogant as you. You've thrown away the reputation of the Marquisate for a shameless girl."
The more I thought about it, the angrier the old lady became.
The reputation of the Yong'an Marquisate had been declining since Su Rui came back. She didn't even dare to go out to banquets, for fear of being laughed at by the old ladies from other families.
Things had finally calmed down by changing the surname, but that slut Zhou Yao came up with something big.
Fortunately, I didn’t change my surname at that time, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed.
But today I heard that Marquis Yong'an actually acknowledged her as the daughter of the Marquisate for the sake of that little bitch, and even went to Prince Long's mansion and risked his face to ask for the documents to make her a concubine.
Then the blame was completely placed on the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and the old lady almost couldn't breathe.
"Mother, Yao'er is my biological daughter after all. I have treated her unfairly over the years. Even though she is wrong now, can I just watch her die without finding a way out for her?"
"Su Rui is your daughter too, why didn't you fight for her more back then?"
The old lady's words made Yong'an Hou's face turn red and blue.
He knew very well that he was biased, and he regretted that if he had believed her five years ago and investigated further, perhaps what happened a few days ago would not have happened.
But she was born to that woman after all, unlike Yao'er, so her position in his heart was naturally different.
Even if he went back five years, he would probably still make the same choice.
But he couldn't say it, so he could only stiffen his neck and say, "Rui'er and Yao'er are different."
"Yes, they are different. Su Rui is definitely your child, but are you sure Zhou Yao is yours? Or maybe we should dig up your father's bones and test them."
"Mother!" Yong'an Hou scolded dissatisfiedly, "When Miaomiao was in the Zhou family, the Zhou family was already on their last breath. If Yao'er is not mine, then whose can she be? Don't say such things in the future."
"What? You can't even say a word now, old lady?" The old lady was so angry that she stomped her wooden stick and said ruthlessly, "Old lady, I have to say, as long as you have a breath left, you are still alive. If Liang took the initiative, it is not impossible. She is not a good person, otherwise she would not have raised such a daughter. In my opinion, she is not allowed to know about what happened five years ago and deliberately framed Rui girl!"
"Miaomiao has always been the most fragile, and you have seen it all these years. You can't say that to her just because of this incident."
Knowing that Marquis Yong'an loved Liang very much, the old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with it in the past, but now she doesn't like it.
"You can know a person's face but not his heart. You can pretend to be weak. When Su Rui Niang was at home, she never encountered such troubles. Moreover, are you really sure that Su Rui Niang deceived you about what happened back then?"
Marquis Yong'an was very sure about what happened back then.
But now, after what happened a few days ago, Marquis Yong'an also had some doubts.
But he quickly denied it.
impossible.
Miaomiao would not lie to him. She knew all those details and could not be deceived.
It was that woman. She was the one who deceived him, causing him and Miaomiao to miss so many years, causing Miaomiao to suffer, and causing him and Yaoer to never be able to be father and daughter openly.
"Okay, mother, it's settled. Let's not talk about it anymore. I still have things to take care of, so I'm leaving first." Marquis Yong'an was so angry that he didn't want to talk about what happened in the past anymore, so he got up and left.
The old lady wanted to scold, but the man had already walked out the door. She could only cover her heart in anger and scold her unfilial son.
After leaving, Marquis Yong'an did not return to his study, but turned to the East Courtyard.
Liang had already prepared the syrup and tenderly held it over. "My Lord, you're back. This lotus seed soup is just warm now, and it's the perfect time to enjoy it."
