When she first heard the news, she was completely bewildered. It felt like finding a big tree to shelter from the rain, but not noticing that the tree attracts the wind, and that it had unknowingly become the most visible tree. When the rainstorm arrives, she'll be the one to suffer.
To be honest, she didn't know where she got the confidence from at the beginning. In an era that accepted having three wives and four concubines, she made such a promise to a man who was almost impossible to be together for life.
Liang Shuyi knew Tang Chen's character, and was even more aware of what she and Wang Yanzhou had said on her wedding day. Therefore, she was more worried than others about Wang Yanzhou's upcoming marriage: "Wang Yanzhou really has no choice, so don't blame him. Things are different now. Those vows we made back then are indeed a bit harsh now."
Although Liang Shuyi's words were very straightforward, if Tang Chen couldn't even hear that she was trying to comfort him, then it would be a waste of time to make friends with her. "I know, so I'm not crying, making a fuss, or even trying to commit suicide. It is said that Shuyi has some friendship with people from Shu. The treasure you gave me to eat when we first met many years ago was also from Shu."
When Liang Shuyi talked about the scene of their first meeting, it felt as if everything happened yesterday. It was still vivid and the awkward atmosphere was palpable. "It's old news. Why bring it up? It's embarrassing. Speaking of which, my connection with Shu Kingdom is also because of my mother. My mother was originally from Shu Kingdom, but she has been in Daliang for so long that you can't tell."
From this, Tang Chen deduced that the woman marrying Wang Yanzhou was either the eldest daughter of a prominent family or a princess or princess-in-waiting. Indeed, compared to her, a commoner with only a small study, this new wife would indeed provide Wang Yanzhou with unlimited support. "Then the woman who has come to Qingliang Valley to form a relationship with my husband must also be a person of noble status, right?"
Seeing Tang Chen ask this question so calmly, Liang Shuyi was a little confused for a moment. When did Tang Chen become so generous about Wang Yanzhou's matter? Did he really grow up, or...
"Princess Laifeng of Shu, the youngest legitimate princess in the Shu royal family. Although I've never had much contact with her, I heard that, unlike the unrestrained and free-spirited people of Shu, she is rather quiet and gentle."
Tang Chen's eyes rolled around, and he kept smiling and nodding, as if the person who was about to marry the princess was his own child. "She's quiet and gentle, I think he likes her too. Yeah, that's good. Then I'll wait for him to come and talk to me about it. Although you said he didn't want to know until after I give birth, I don't think Qingliang Valley can wait that long."
Liang Shuyi held Tang Chen's hand and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of the right words. She could only say earnestly, "...Achen, you must relax, understand? He's acting now, there's really no other way. Don't worry, your status, not even that princess can shake it. You're a married woman from the Duke of Liang's mansion, and you're also Princess Qinghe's good sister. Even compared to her, you're not inferior at all."
From Liang Shuyi's comforting words, Tang Chen seemed to hear a hint of something she least wanted to hear, but she had guessed it. She didn't want to worry those who cared about her, but Wang Yanzhou had really irritated her this time.
In that case, she might as well give him some minor troubles. That shouldn't be too much, right? "You can't say I'm generous. To be honest, I'm a little unhappy right now, so I want to make others unhappy too."
After saying this, Tang Chen stood up and called out loudly, "A Yuan, go and get Madam Wang Ruo."
A Yuan's eyes quickly swept over Liang Shuyi, then he lowered his head and asked, "Madam, are we going to come here?"
Tang Chen said: "Well, here it is. I'm too lazy to move."
Liang Shuyi was a little confused. Although Wang Ruo was not as busy as the others, she was not idle either. Why did she come here for no reason? "Why did you ask her to come here?"
"Of course I have something to tell her," Tang Chen said, as if she hadn't said anything. Liang Shuyi didn't bother to guess what she was up to. Since she was going to have guests coming soon, she might as well go somewhere else: "Okay, then I'll take the child back first."
Tang Chen looked at Xiao Shuang'er who was still sleeping soundly and said, "It's okay, it's not something to be ashamed of. I'm just worried that the sound of our talking will disturb her sweet dream."
Liang Shuyi looked down at the baby sleeping soundly on the bed, smacking his lips, and couldn't help but smile softly: "This monkey is only quiet when it's asleep."
Tang Chen patted Liang Shuyi's arm and smiled, "How can a mother talk about her own child like that? You're naughty."
When Wang Ruo and A Yuan arrived, Xiao Shuang'er had already woken up. This child was a good child. When she woke up, she would eat, and when she was full, she would sleep again. And then she grew up like this.
After Xiao Shuang woke up, she cried endlessly. Liang Shuyi was helpless. Thinking that Tang Chen still had something to discuss with Wang Ruo, it would not be good for the child to keep crying here, so she took the child back to her room first.
Wang Ruo was just about to ask Tang Chen what had happened that had him looking for her in such a hurry, but before she could open her mouth, Tang Chen threw the "copy" of the secret letter he had seen earlier at her.
Wang Ruo looked at the secret letter in her hand. If A Yuan hadn't stopped her, she would have pounced on Tang Chen and eaten him alive. "You, where did you get this information from?"
Tang Chen explained while leisurely drinking medicine, "I don't know exactly who this thing came from. But if you insist on saying where it came from, you know that there are traitors in our mansion. I guess some unscrupulous people have sneaked in from your side. Something must have happened, but I don't know if it's as serious as what's written on this note."
Regardless of the authenticity of the letter's contents, she had been feeling a bit uneasy lately. Furthermore, the three people who were supposed to reply to her after returning to the secret cave hadn't heard from her in the past few months. She had previously asked Hua Wuxin to keep an eye on the goings-on in the martial arts world, fearing these people might be wandering around somewhere else due to their slow pace.
Wang Ruo calmed down and thought seriously for a while, then crumpled the secret letter in his hand into a ball: "No, no matter what, I have to go back and take a look."
"etc!"
"......" When Wang Ruo turned around after being called by Tang Chen, her eyes were filled with shock and pleading, as she was afraid that she would reveal some more shocking information to her.
