Chapter 358 The Truth
Everyone thought that he saved Xu, so Xu promised to marry him. In fact, it was not true. The truth was that Xu saved him, and she had nowhere to go, so she married him and pretended to be his wife. She asked him to help her get revenge.
When the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, each village was supposed to draw lots to decide who would go. He volunteered to sign up, and also wanted to earn some fame and fortune to avenge the Xu family.
In exchange, Xu would take good care of Mingxuan for him.
Xu had always liked Mingxuan, and he believed that he would not make a mistake in choosing the right person. Since she had agreed, she would definitely be able to do it.
When he came back this time, he felt a little conflicted and embarrassed.
Something went wrong along the way and he returned alone. He would definitely find a way to do what he promised Xu, but it might just take more time.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just after returning to the village, and he didn't expect that Xu gave him a completely different feeling.
He was filled with questions, hoping to slowly figure out the truth. He wanted to know where Xu had gone and what had happened. Unexpectedly, his brother dealt him a heavy blow.
After a while, Liang Minglang said, "Perhaps you are right, but what about jumping off a cliff to follow one's husband?"
There was no way Xu would jump off a cliff to follow her husband. They were not a real couple. Besides, she still had a grudge to avenge.
Liang Mingxuan: "It wasn't a case of jumping off a cliff to follow her husband. It was my second aunt who pushed my sister-in-law over. She thought she was dead, so she deliberately said that to cover up the truth, and everyone believed it. But in the mourning hall, my sister-in-law woke up."
"My sister-in-law was clearly dead at that time, but she woke up again!"
At that time, Liang Mingxuan was too sad and heartbroken to think about many things. Afterwards, he subconsciously refused to recall that scene. But when he thought about it later, his sister-in-law, who had just woken up, was obviously shocked. Her reaction was
"Brother, I'm sure that was when the two sisters-in-law became different!"
Liang Minglang had a splitting headache and felt confused.
So, Xu is dead?
One person's feelings may be wrong, but the feelings of the two brothers say it all.
Whatever the reason, the Xu family today is no longer the Xu family of the past.
Liang Minglang didn't know what he felt in his heart. That woman was full of hatred and she didn't have a chance to avenge herself, but she was gone just like that?
He would never go back on his word to her, it's such a pity!
"Brother," Liang Mingxuan looked at his eldest brother, "the sister-in-law before was very good, and the sister-in-law now is also very good. Brother, please don't blame the sister-in-law, okay? The sister-in-law probably can't control this kind of thing."
Liang Minglang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed his head randomly, "Is your brother such an ungrateful person?"
If it weren't for the Xu family today, who knows what would have happened to his poor brother. He probably wouldn't have been able to continue his studies, let alone pass the examination and enjoy the glory in the county school.
Just because she protected his brother, she was his benefactor.
Liang Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly: "Then I feel relieved!"
He knew his brother was very perceptive. Even he couldn't be fooled by his sister-in-law's changes, let alone his brother? So he had to make it clear to his brother tonight.
Fortunately, my previous sister-in-law had almost no contact with the villagers, otherwise it would be almost impossible to deceive so many people.
Even then, some people started to get suspicious and came to him privately to instigate things, asking why his sister-in-law had been hiding things for the past two years, and how come she suddenly knew everything? There must be something fishy going on!
He naturally covered up for his sister-in-law, saying she had always kept a low profile and that her family didn't want to be in the spotlight. But something had happened to his eldest brother, forcing his sister-in-law to step out in the spotlight, lest she be bullied. Furthermore, the recipes were incomplete, so even if his sister-in-law wanted to make something, she couldn't. After trying for a long time, she finally completed them and finally brought them out.
Liang Minglang smiled and said, "Alright, let's just pretend we don't know about this. Let's leave it at that for now."
Liang Mingxuan said "hmm".
The next day, Liang Mingxuan went back to the county school, and Liang Minglang sent him there.
Studies are important. Knowing that his elder brother has returned safely and that he has said everything he should say to him, Liang Mingxuan felt relieved.
He originally wanted to stay for two more days, but he had to take the exam for the scholar next month and time was tight. Even though he was good at his studies, he couldn't waste time.
Besides, if he was always there, my sister-in-law and brother would seem too distant. Maybe it would be better if he was not there.
Liang Mingxuan's gratitude to his ex-sister-in-law has never diminished, but unfortunately, his ex-sister-in-law is no longer with us. Even if it is just his selfish desire, he also hopes that his current sister-in-law can get along well with his elder brother.
He has already told his eldest brother the truth about "jumping off a cliff to follow her husband", and he will not let his second aunt go.
Liang Minglang sent his brother to the county school and then went into the city to find Captain Yu.
Captain Yu was completely stunned!
"Brother Liang! You, you, you are not dead!"
Liang Minglang punched him on the shoulder, neither too hard nor too soft, and scolded him with a smile: "What are you talking about? What? Are you hoping for my death?"
"No, no, no, no! I'm just too happy, hehe!"
"By the way, Brother Liang, it's great that you're back. When you were away, my sister-in-law and my brother were bullied a lot. If they weren't capable, who knows what would have happened. Now that my brother is back, let's see if they dare to do it again."
Liang Minglang: "I was just about to ask you what happened after the news of my death came back. Tell me everything."
"That's a long story!"
Although it was a long story, Captain Yu was happy to tell it, even adding some exaggeration. Liang Minglang sneered as he listened.
Zeng family? Qi family? They're really good.
"They all got what they wanted. My sister-in-law is so powerful. In the end, they are the ones who suffered the most. The Zeng family's business has plummeted. Everyone speaks of them with contempt. It will be difficult for them to turn things around. The Qi family suffered a great loss and dares not to have any evil intentions anymore. My sister-in-law and my brother are really powerful! Haha, I was worried that I couldn't deal with the Qi family, but I didn't expect them to solve the problem on their own!"
"Brother Liang is so lucky, hehe!"
Liang Minglang looked at him and smiled. What does he know?
If he knew the bizarre things that happened to Xu, he would probably be scared to death.
Even when he thought about it himself, he felt a vague sense of mystery.
But people are living people, with flesh and blood, and light in their eyes.
Liang Minglang lingered in the county town until almost evening before returning home.
When he returned home, his nominal wife had already eaten dinner and gone to bed.
Nanny Qin Qing explained to him worriedly, "Madam felt a little unwell this afternoon. She didn't even eat two bites of dinner before returning to her room to rest. She said she wanted to rest quietly. Master, please don't blame her."
Liang Minglang almost laughed out loud. She was really trying hard to avoid sleeping in the same room with him.
