Chapter 247 The Jedi's Counterattack
The autumn rain is drizzling, and the sky in the evening is already dark and unclear.

Xiang Mo led the way with a lantern in one hand, and an umbrella in the other hand to protect Liang Nianqing from the rain, "Miss, this road is slippery, so please walk carefully."

Liang Nianqing acted as if she had never heard of it, with a preoccupied look, but walked quickly to Mrs. Liang's courtyard.Seeing her gloomy face, Xiangmo didn't dare to speak anymore, but tried to speed up her pace to keep up, and tried her best to hold the umbrella to keep her from the rain.

As soon as the maid in the outer room informed her, Liang Nianqing lifted the curtain and walked in before waiting for the answer from the inner room, "Mother!"

Mrs. Liang was looking at the bronze mirror in a trance, but her mind was obviously not on it, and Liang Nianqing's voice could not interrupt her thoughts.Liang Nianqing couldn't help but sighed, "Mother, something happened on the day of my aunt's funeral, have you heard about it?"

Madam Liang came back to her senses, but she seemed indifferent, she just said indifferently: "I heard."

"Then you heard that a pile of blood heads was dug up in the ancestral grave of Shangguan's family?"

Madam Liang still didn't care, "I heard."

Liang Nianqing was a little anxious, "I'm worried, Geer did this."

Mrs. Liang didn't answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Liang Nianqing hurried up, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Ge'er did such a ridiculous thing, I'm afraid it will implicate our Liang family! Mother, aren't you worried?"

"Absurd?" Madam Liang chewed the word ironically, "Can it be more absurd than what your father did?"

Liang Nianqing was taken aback, "Did father do something ridiculous?"

Madam Liang snorted coldly, but just stared at the bronze mirror in a daze, and still did not answer.

However, Liang Nianqing inadvertently caught a glimpse of a hairpin on the other side of the bronze mirror, and a coral bead had obviously fallen off from it.She felt strange, and couldn't help thinking about it, and remembered that she had just found a coral bead of this size in her aunt's hair that day.She was taken aback, and blurted out: "Mother, did you change Auntie's clothes?!"

Madam Liang didn't nod, but said flatly, "I changed it."

Liang Nianqing couldn't believe it, "So, when Auntie died, you were there?!"

Madam Liang nodded and said, "Not only am I present, but your father is also present."

Liang Nianqing asked: "Then do you know how my aunt died?"

Madam Liang's face suddenly changed, and she swept the things on the dressing table to the ground, "Don't mention this again!"

With Madam Liang's reaction like this, Liang Nianqing felt that everything became more confusing, "Mother, is there anything else that can't be said?! If Auntie was killed by Shangguan Fuxue, we have to avenge Auntie!"

"Revenge! Revenge! You know revenge all day long!" Mrs. Liang cried unwillingly, "Their brothers and sisters did such unreasonable things, why are they talking about 'revenge'?!"

"An unreasonable thing?" Liang Nianqing was startled, and soon saw the concealed expression on Mrs. Liang's face, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, aunt and father, what did they do that are unreasonable? "

Madam Liang sat back on the embroidered stool. After making a difficult decision, she finally opened her mouth slowly and cried: "Your father and your aunt have such a shameful relationship! They, they gave birth Get off your cousin Geer!"

"Ah?!" Liang Nianqing looked shocked, and subconsciously blurted out: "How is this possible?! Father has never been that kind of foolish person, how could he do such foolish things?!"

Madam Liang burst into tears, choked with sobs, and said, "This is absolutely true. Your aunt died suddenly after having an affair with your father!"

"No!" Liang Nianqing yelled sharply, "My aunt was obviously killed by Shangguan Fuxue. Although I have no evidence, I can be sure that she must have killed my aunt!"

"Your aunt was originally weak, but she forcibly took blood crickets, which made her appear to be in good spirits. Your father didn't know, and spent a lot of time with her, exhausting her energy, which made her die suddenly." Mrs. Liang covered her face. With his mouth open, he forced himself to suppress the nausea that surged up.

"How could this be?!" Liang Nianqing was stunned in place, she who had always boasted of being calm, couldn't accept such a thing for a while.God, father and aunt, they are real brothers and sisters!How could they do that kind of thing? !
I don't know how much time passed, the mother and daughter didn't speak any more, they just shed tears, looking at each other speechlessly.

Suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and the mother and daughter regained their composure. Mrs. Liang looked at Liang Nianqing worriedly, "Is your father back today?"

Liang Nianqing also felt uneasy, "No. After my father entered the palace, he hasn't come back yet. My daughter thought it was because he still had some business to deal with, or some entertainment, so he didn't come back..."

"Something happened." Madam Liang interrupted her with a sigh.

Liang Nianqing's body couldn't help but tense, she turned to stare at the door, gradually screams came from outside the courtyard, and her breathing gradually became faster.

Someone came in, it was a man dressed as a military officer, he opened the curtain with a sword, and strode in.

He didn't have a smile on his face, and he didn't salute when he came up, so he said generously: "You two, by the emperor's imperial decree, come to protect you two. If there is nothing important, please stay in the room and don't leave easily. "

"What's going on here?!" Madam Liang's expression darkened, and she and Liang Nianqing looked at each other in blank dismay.Both of them knew very well in their hearts that there was no protection here, it was clearly putting them under house arrest.The two of them became more and more uneasy. They hadn't heard of any accidents in the past two days. Why did the emperor put them under house arrest for no reason?What happened to Liang Xiang in Chaoshang?

The military officer just smiled, "To tell you the truth, today, General Shangguan, together with the eldest grandson of the emperor and the prince of Chu, entered the "Wan Yan Shu" written by the emperor. The country needs a thorough investigation. The emperor was worried that someone would take advantage of this to harm Liang Xiang's family, so he ordered his subordinates to bring people to protect the two."

Mrs. Liang rolled her eyes coldly, "Where is this 'protection'?! It's clearly because we are worried that we will have contact with outsiders, and there will be side issues!"

The military officer smiled noncommittally, "It's Madam Liang's business what Madam Liang thinks. This subordinate is only following orders, so please cooperate with me."

Mrs. Liang gave him a cold look, gradually calmed down, and said: "Just now you said that General Shangguan joined hands with the emperor's eldest grandson and the prince of Chu to present the 'Wan Yan Shu', what is said in the 'Wan Yan Shu'? What are the bad deeds of our master?"

"About this point, it is not a matter under the jurisdiction of the subordinates, and there is really nothing I can do to help." The military officer didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything, just cupped his hands slightly, then turned and walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Madam Liang called him hastily, "I won't ask any more. There is only one thing I have to ask."

The military officer turned sideways and nodded slightly.

"My lord, what's going on now?"

The military officer said: "Madam Liang, don't worry, Mr. Xiang is fine now. The emperor said that after everything is clear, everything will be as before."

When the military officer went out, Madam Liang still couldn't let go of her hanging heart. She paced back and forth in the room, "What did the 'Wan Yan Shu' say? It can actually convince the emperor and make him ruthless." From the Liang family?!"

"Father has accumulated a lot of prestige all the year round, and his actions are quite meticulous, but there will never be any mistakes in the affairs of the court. Unless..." Liang Nianqing pondered for a while, and felt that his thoughts at this time were too unbelievable.

"Unless what?" Mrs. Liang asked anxiously.

"Unless they started with father's private affairs." Liang Nianqing felt unbelievable, but she couldn't avoid such worries.

"Start with private matters?" Mrs. Liang felt a little ridiculous, "Although your father has been a bit dignified in handling things these years, he has always considered when making killing decisions. Is there any private matter that they can't let go of?"

"I'm talking about the second brother's matter." Liang Nianqing closed her eyes, feeling depressed.Unexpectedly, a single thought at the beginning would lead to today's situation.

"Ridiculous!" Mrs. Liang said decisively, "Your second brother's matter is at most 'teaching the child without a way', not to mention that we also lost our lives to go in! I want to see how the emperor can convict our Liang family. ?! Your second brother's behavior is sometimes a little ridiculous, but it's not enough to implicate Xiangye!"

Even though Mrs. Liang's words were so firm, Liang Nianqing still couldn't feel at ease. She took a deep breath, "What about father and aunt?"

Mrs. Liang was silent.

good.The Prime Minister is the example of the courtiers in the world, the head of a hundred officials, one person under one man and above ten thousand people.Will the emperor let a person who has an unethical relationship with his sister be an example for the world?
Promise is yes.

Mrs. Liang was at a loss for a while, grabbed Liang Nianqing's hand, and said, "Qing'er, your father is indeed a bit ridiculous, but he is the head of the family, your father! I'm afraid he may You will also implicate your little aunt, and the entire Liang family will be hopeless by then. You have to find a way to save your father!"

Liang Nianqing looked at Mrs. Liang, but the decision in her heart was still vacillating. She hesitated and said, "Mother, we have no way out. The only way is to take advantage of the situation and take a step forward resolutely, so as to save the entire Liang family. "

Mrs. Liang realized what Liang Nianqing said in her words, and her eyes froze, "Are you crazy?! This is an outrageous thing!"

"Actually, my father has long planned to elect the third prince, and this step is a matter of time. Now that I have reached this point, I simply don't do anything, and kill a bloody road. If the third prince wins the Ninth Five-Year Plan, there will be a younger brother." With the full support of my aunt behind the scenes, my Liang clan can guarantee long-term prosperity."

Madam Liang couldn't stop trembling when she thought of this bold idea.After thinking about it, she realized that taking a step back was already a precipice, so she might as well give it a go, maybe she could really build a stable country for the Liang clan as Liang Nianqing said!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liang suppressed her flustered heartbeat, and nodded to Liang Nianqing, "In that case, let's do as you say."
