Chapter 5 Selling Oneself for Glory
Ms. Zhang winked and asked her servants to pull Mr. He to the chair next to her. She sat on the edge of the bed and patted Liang Huan's hand, her usual gentle and considerate manner.
"Ah Huan, you have been missing for most of the day, but you have made everyone anxious. Your uncle has sent out all the people in the house who can be sent to look for you. He has almost sent Jinye City to Turned upside down!
Tell me, if something happens to you, how will your uncle and I go to Jiuquan to explain to your father? "
Something really happened?
Liang Huan stared at the hand covering her, feeling sick in her heart.
Seeing that she remained silent, Mrs. Zhang continued: "Actually, even if you don't say it, we know that you just want to belong to Cui Xiaolang.
As the old saying goes, don't wait for your parents. According to the matchmaker's words, if you peek into each other's caves and obey each other across the wall, then your parents and the people of the country will despise you."
Liang Huan sneered in her heart, are you forcing her to do so? Isn’t it despicable to marry Wang Su, who is nearly fifty years old, as a concubine?
Everyone quietly observed Liang Han.
On weekdays, the relationship between Sanniangzi and Mr. Cui is closer than others, which is obvious to everyone.
Liang Huan closed her eyes and took a breath for a moment before looking at Zhang again, "Auntie, what are you talking about? Cui Hao is just a down-and-out commoner, how can I lower my status to befriend him? "
He's face was straight, but Zhang's suspicion was visible to the naked eye: "Really?"
"Who framed me to find him?"
Liang Huan was sweating profusely, but she still held on. She couldn't admit the appointment she made with Cui Hao today even to death!
She slowly looked at everyone and fixed on one of them, "Chun'er, did you say that?"
Chun'er was startled, and fell to her knees on the ground with a pale face, eager to defend herself.
"Madam, I am not a slave. How dare a slave gossip behind his master's back?"
He even dares to do things for the sake of glory to the seller, so what does it mean to just gossip?
Liang Han lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with hatred.
Because of Zhang Shi, she has always been repelled by intimacy.
Occasionally, she woke up at night and bumped into Cui Hao entering Chun'er's house. Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, he was a normal man after all, and it was only natural to have needs.
What's more, after she was kicked out, Chun'er did not hesitate to sneak a lot of property from the Liang Mansion to join her. For this sincerity, she couldn't bear to criticize him harshly. Therefore, she would only remain ignorant of their affairs from now on.
But if it weren’t for her rebirth, she would still be kept in the dark. In fact, they had already secretly plotted against Chen Cang. Otherwise, Chun'er wouldn't always say good things for him in front of him, and even encourage her to go to Cui Hao's relatives' house.
All of this is their internal and external cooperation!
Unfortunately, she has always been blind!
Catch the thief and the stolen goods, the adulterer and the couple. She is not in a hurry. If it doesn't work this time, they will definitely come back. She can wait.
"It's okay if it's not."
Liang Huan raised his eyelids and held up his palms without leaving any traces. The red marks on his skin were eye-catching, "After Chun'er and I were separated, I didn't want to be there anymore. I met a thief on the street and he stole my wallet. I chased him all the way, got lost and even fell down."
Ms. Zhang took her hand and looked at it carefully. The eye was indeed broken.
Liang Huan said again: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Southeast Street to ask. Someone must have seen me."
In order to cover up others' eyes, she deliberately went around Southeast Street before going to the meeting place. , I don’t want it to really come in handy now.
"Then why are you soaked all over?"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a medium build walked in.
It is his uncle, Liang Cheng.
"Someone saw that I was lost and pretended to help me, but in fact he had evil intentions. When I was pushing and pulling with him, I accidentally fell into the water. Fortunately, a passing boatman rescued me, otherwise I would not have been able to come back -" Liang When Cheng heard this, his expression changed and he immediately looked at Mrs. Zhang, "Let the doctor take a look. There are no injuries, right?"
Mrs. Zhang understood and gave her a look, " Don't worry, head of the family, everything is fine."
Liang Cheng then felt relieved, "Since you are not injured, there is no need to mention this matter again. Otherwise, if word spreads, it will not only damage your reputation, but also damage our Liang family's reputation. Your face will be disgraced.
If you let Lord Sikong know about it, he will be blamed and it will make him unhappy. It will not be good for you in the future. ”
Liang Huan nodded in agreement.
I don’t want Liang Cheng to look over again, his eyes obviously cold, "Today, since you came back safely, I will not pursue this matter, but I also hope that you really want to get married, rather than thinking about it. Find other ways to escape.
You must know that our Liang family never raises useless people. Since you were born in the Liang family and bear the title and status of the third wife, you must shoulder your due responsibilities. ——”
Is it your responsibility to sell yourself for glory?
Under his sleeves, Liang Huan clenched his fists tightly. Even if he sells it, it can’t be for you!
Mrs. Zhang saw Liang Huan hanging her neck, lowering her head in silence, and tugged Liang Cheng's arm at the right time, "She has been frightened for a long time, and she is still sick. Just say a few words. Don't worry, I will be here with you." The eldest sister-in-law watched, and there will be no more trouble in the custody."
He then said: "Ah Huan, you have to understand how many people are trying to get through the gate of Sikong Mansion after your uncle's hard work. , but you have no choice. And you are so easily favored by Wang Sikong. Isn’t this all planned by your uncle?”
She patted Liang Cheng without leaving any trace, and Liang Cheng had to relax. Attitude, "Yes, although Wang Sikong is a little older, you can see that he values you, and I will never treat you badly in the future! This is something no one can ask for!"
< br>Liang Huan raised his head and smiled at him: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely cherish such a good blessing!"
Seeing that she was not as resistant as before, Liang Cheng felt happy and nodded repeatedly: " Just know it!”
I know, of course I know, why don’t you leave such a good blessing to your own daughters?
Unexpectedly, He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Honestly, who did you go to see? Are you still lying to me?"
Liang Huan's chest ached, "Who do you think I should go to see?" "
Then, the big black cloak swung over and hit her hard, "This is a man's clothes! Tell yourself, who are you going to see?"< br>
man?
Liang Cheng and Zhang looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the cloak.
Just now, they had only focused on Liang Huan, completely ignoring the abnormality of the cloak. Now they were shocked when they saw it.
Liang Han fell on the bed, unable to stop feeling cold.
Ms. Zhang stepped forward and carefully removed the cloak, helped Liang Han up, and persuaded: "Ahan, tell us honestly, who did you go to see?
What's going on with this man's cloak?
How can you, a wife who has not yet left the palace, wear the clothes of a foreigner? If word spreads about this, how will you see anyone in the future?
What’s more, if Lord Sikong knew about this matter, wouldn’t your reputation be ruined——”
“Peony?” "
Mr. Zhang was talking when she heard a surprised sound from Liang Cheng.
