Chapter 125 Troubled Times
He put the half-filled tea cup back into her hand.
“Drink.”
The tone was neither painful nor itchy, and the face was calm.
Liang Huan, however, was on pins and needles holding the cup and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother's face.
She was holding a hot potato, waiting for a long time but not seeing the expected storm.
If it were placed on ordinary people, this kind of embarrassment on the surface, even if it is not a crime, it would still be an expression of anger.
But the Queen Mother was not smiling at all, and she didn't even have the slightest hint of anger on her face. Her expression was cold and indifferent, just like Lu Xiu.
It is worthy of being carefully cultivated by Taishi Lu.
She can still adapt to the silence of two people, but the silence of three people is too stressful.
Liang Huan buried his head low and could only endure the strangeness and take a sip of 'hot potato' to avoid looking too stiff.
After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother looked at Liang Han with a smile.
"It has been some time since you entered the Taishi Mansion. I have always wanted to see you. Since we were far away at the Qianqiu Banquet, I simply asked you to come into the palace today. In fact, it is not that important. I just want to give you a few words. "
Liang Huan put down the cup and gently raised his eyes: "Listen quietly to the Queen Mother's teachings."
The Queen Mother: "He is the only one left in front of the Grand Master now. You should go first. Of course, I am more familiar with the mansion. The Cao family and the Queen are both gentle and virtuous people. I only hope that you will be in harmony. "
Liang Huan said sincerely: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I never dare to forget my identity."
The Queen Mother asked about what happened at the Qianqiu Banquet again, and Liang Huan told Gao Qian exactly what she said. Again.
“You are well-behaved, bold, and attentive,” the Queen Mother looked at her, nodded with a smile, and said, “You are a good craftswoman. The Buddha statue you presented is very exquisite. You can come to Renshou Hall often if you have nothing to do in the future.”
Yes, the Queen presented the previously embroidered Buddha statue to the Queen Mother.
Lu Xiu did not stop him, so Liang Huan complied.
From the beginning to the end, the Queen Mother's eyes were gentle, and her tone was the same as before. It seemed that she was specifically called to come here just for these few words that were neither salty nor bland.
After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother ordered someone to send her out of the palace. She had other matters to discuss with Lu Xiu.
Liang Huan saluted and then left.
As she stepped out of the palace, she heard voices inside again,
“Tomorrow, I will go with the emperor to watch the ceremony... No wonder you love her so much, she does share the same—— ”
"The Queen Mother misunderstood, loving her has nothing to do with others..."
A few words fell deep in the palace behind her, and no one heard them again.
Until he got on the cart, Liang Han was still confused.
Intuitively, the Queen Mother does not like her.
But she was asked to go to the Hall of Renshou from time to time.
The Queen Mother had no intention of poisoning the tea, so why did Lu Xiu act like that? It's clearly like it was done deliberately to look like it.
And that image, who does she look like?
Is the painting in the garden also her misunderstanding?
Zhou Yun also said something like...
No, these issues are not hers to consider!
Liang Huan lifted the curtain, and the autumn wind swept across her face. She closed her eyes and suddenly felt much more awake.
She just needs to work hard to survive and take revenge!
As for some people and some things, you can use them, but you don’t need to take them to heart.
In this life, she is only loyal to herself...
The grain store has been open for a few days, but she has not gone there yet. It is just because the family is preparing for Lu Xiu's marriage, and it is not suitable for her to go in and out. But today is an opportunity to simply take a look.
After making up his mind, Liang Huan put down the curtain and turned around to tell the coachman to go to the Western Market.
The passenger flow in West Market is low, business is sluggish and gradually declining. Some shops are difficult to operate. As long as the price is in place, it is easy to buy them.
Due to Lu Xiu’s relationship, she couldn’t do business, but Qiu Xi was different.
With the store and the addition of a warehouse, hoarding has become more reasonable. Qiuxi can check the quality of the goods, so you can rest assured. As for the shopkeeper, Song Tan is responsible for finding it. The newly opened store is located on an inconspicuous street corner in Dongshi. The appearance of the door remains basically the same, except for the plaque. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell that it has changed owners.
To avoid attracting too much attention, Liang Huan let the cart park on the street while she walked over.
This street is really deserted. At first glance, it is deserted.
"Mrs. Liang, why are you here?"
Qiu Xi just finished inspecting today's goods and was surprised when she looked up and saw Liang Huan.
When away from home, it is not appropriate to call Niangzi, and it is even more inappropriate to call Liang Ji, so it was agreed in advance that Liang Huan was a widowed woman and would only be called Madam.
For convenience, Qiuxi also dresses up as a woman.
Liang Huan walked up to him with a smile and stretched his head to look at the new grains, which were yellow and clear.
Looking at Qiuxi again from head to toe, she is dressed in coarse linen, with a simple bun, and only one silver hairpin on her head. She does not look like a hostess, but a hard-working bride.
Qiu Xi was not in a hurry to talk to Liang Huan. After carefully counting and checking, she signed the receipt, and the shopkeeper took over the rest.
The shopkeeper only regarded Liang Huan as a major customer.
So very good.
The back door of the store is connected to a small courtyard. Qiu Xi lives in the main house, and the woman in charge of the kitchen and cleaning lives in the side room.
“This is a grain store and a medicine shop,” Qiu Xi said as she walked, “I’m afraid it’s just the medicinal materials—”
Liang Huan understood that Qiu Xi didn’t understand medicinal materials. "The house has been busy with weddings recently. After these few days pass, I will make the choice myself."
In just a few days, Qiu Xi looked noticeably thinner than before, although she did not open this store to make money. Profitable, but she is serious and wants to do it well.
Liang Huan looked around and saw that it was almost time and did not dare to stay any longer.
Qiu Xi sent her out and to the carriage.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a woman pestering the coachman and his entourage, crying and wiping tears, as if she was saying something.
The woman is Yao Jinse.
Liang Huan stepped forward and walked forward slowly. She hadn't seen Yao Jinse for a few days since she came to the door that day, but she didn't know what the purpose of her visit was.
"Madam—" Qiu Xi followed.
Sensing someone coming, Yao Jinse turned around, tears bursting into tears. He let go of his followers and rushed towards Liang Huan.
“Uncle!”
Liang Huan stopped when he was some distance away from her and avoided her hand lightly.
Qiu Xi also stood over.
Yao Jinse knew he was losing his composure, but he couldn't take it into consideration. He only said anxiously with red eyes: "Uncle, aunt, she committed suicide!"
Liang Huan felt like she had been punched hard, her head was buzzing. .
Her legs were weakening and her heart was trembling. She gritted her teeth and said, "Speak clearly."
Yao Jinse wiped away her tears and sighed: "After my uncle left that day, my aunt would She refuses to eat or drink. No matter how hard Aunt Jun or I tried to persuade her, she was not seen leaving the house in the morning. I didn’t want to go in and take a look. She was hanging..."
Liang Huan was stiff and cold, her lips were Shivering, teeth chattering: "Is she dead?"
"Dead!" Yao Jinse breathed in and said bitterly, "My uncle is so cruel, why did he push my aunt to death?"
Liang Huan could no longer hear the voices and just stared blankly. Yao Jinse opened and closed his mouth.
"Madam——" Qiu Xi quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, turned to tell the attendant the specific address, and asked him to return home to report the news.
"My servant will accompany you to see off the eldest lady."
