Chapter 424: Chapter 426 Where Did You Go Again?

Old Madam Chu was sipping tea in her room when she saw someone enter, she slightly lifted her eyelids and placed her teacup heavily on the table, her tone displeased, "Where have you been running off to again? You’re never in the mansion, always gadabout!"

"Mother, what you say! I don’t even have anyone to talk to in this mansion, why should I stay here?" Liang Weishuang retorted without courtesy.

Now her love for Chu Yu had completely eroded, and the present Pingnan Marquis’s Mansion felt like a cage to her, especially having to attend to Old Madam Chu every time.

"How can you say such a shameless thing? It was you who insisted on marrying into the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, no one forced you!" Old Madam Chu slapped her hand heavily on the table.

Seeing this, Liang Weishuang no longer pretended, she stood up with a cold laugh, "Yes, I was blind initially, thinking that you would cherish my affection, but you treated me like a fool instead."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Old Madam Chu looked at her in shock.

"My position now is just of a secondary wife, the title of the lady of the marquis mansion will never come to me!" Liang Weishuang had never thought she would be deceived so terribly.

Old Madam Chu guiltily turned her head away, her eyes shifting, and her mouth moved as if she wanted to explain something.

Liang Weishuang sneered again and continued, "Initially, even knowing Chu Yu was exiled, I still chose to marry into the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion because I believed he had a chance to return, but it seems now he will never return in this lifetime..."

Liang Weishuang’s gaze fell on Old Madam Chu, her eyes slightly red with hatred, "And you, you said you would make me the lady of the Marquis Pingnan, but now, look at that unworthy child, how could the Emperor possibly allow him to inherit the title!"

"Furthermore, Chu Yu could never return from the borderlands in his lifetime, all the things he once did will come to light, and the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion will become a place despised by all."

After finishing her words, Liang Weishuang walked out of the room, leaving Old Madam Chu sitting there, muttering to herself, "It won’t happen, it can’t be..."

Old Madam Chu suddenly screamed, "Someone, quick, come here, stop her!"

Liang Weishuang had never intended to leave, not that she didn’t want to, but she had nowhere to go.

The autumn wind was brisk, adding an extra chill to the air.

Pei Huaian, holding a cloak, draped it over Shao He’s shoulders and seeing the worried expression on her face, asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I think there’s more to Abbot Yuan Hui’s issue than meets the eye."

"Don’t think too much, I have everything under control," Pei Huaian reassured her as he pulled her into his arms.

Just as Shao He had predicted, the news that Abbot Yuan Hui had been captured spread quickly in the Capital City, stirring people to write a blood petition to the Emperor demanding Yuan Hui’s release.

In the imperial palace, upon hearing this news, the Emperor crumpled the bloodstained petition into a ball and hurled it to the ground, furiously.

"This is utterly audacious!" the Emperor roared.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger," Eunuch Li carefully consoled.

"Calm my anger, how can you ask me to calm my anger at a time like this?" the Emperor glared at Eunuch Li, his anger boiling over.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that he knelt down, hanging his head in silence.

"Send for the Fifth Prince to come to the palace," the Emperor commanded coldly.

"Yes."

Pei Huaian came into a study and seeing the crumpled blood petition on the floor, immediately understood.

"Father, do not be angry. All this trouble was caused by Abbot Yuan Hui. If the civilians knew of his actions, they would surely wish to flay him alive," he remarked.

Upon hearing this, a bit of the rage in the Emperor’s heart subsided, and he quickly asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"All evidence has been collected, the witness is already on the way, and will soon reach the Capital City. This time, Yuan Hui’s guilt will be sealed!"

Pei Huaian was shocked after investigating Abbot Yuan Hui’s affairs, unable to believe he could do such outrageous things.

"Good," the Emperor clapped his hands, excited.

The next day, rumors spread that Chu Yu had his wife sleep with another man, and his tryst with a maid. The plot to harm the lady of the marquis mansion was described vividly.

The Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion suffered another blow, and the business of the outside shops plummeted even further, while the instigator of all this trouble sat in the courtyard, cracking melon seeds and sipping tea.

Liang Weishuang couldn’t help but recall Shao He’s past warning, lamenting that she was blinded by love at the time, and failed to heed the honest advice.

Now ruminating in deep regret, she found herself in an inextricable dilemma, all of her own making.

When Shao He heard this news, she was resting inside the mansion. Originally, she had planned to visit Anji Hall for treatment, but Pei Huaian and Yun Qian adamantly disagreed, insisting she stay within the mansion and go nowhere else.

"Ah, this is so boring," Shao He said as she looked at the third pot of tea in front of her, unable to drink any more.

Pei Huaian, standing behind Shao He, saw her continually sighing and shook his head helplessly.

"Do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Shao He turned around excitedly and nodded eagerly.

Pei Huaian took her out on the streets, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, they still wore their half masks.

Seeing the bustling crowd, Shao He’s spirits instantly lifted, and she pulled Pei Huaian towards the lively areas.
