Chapter 339: Chapter 202 - It Really Is Him_1

After hearing Liang Zechong’s words, Old Lady Liang pondered for a while and said, "The Emperor is wise, and his dragon constitution is healthy, and the Young Prince is still very young. With such a long time ahead, the Emperor might come to understand the crux of the matter." Then, with a probing tone, she asked Liang Zechong, "Nine years ago, the Emperor hinted to our Liang family and Zhao family that he hoped that after the Young Prince left the monastic life, both families would protect him and ensure his smooth succession. But now it seems, from what my son suggests, that even the Master believes he is not suitable to leave monastic life and take that position. So, what should our Liang family do in the future..."

Liang Zechong replied, "Although the Emperor relies on our Liang family in many matters, he is also wary of us, and he is even less willing to let us get too close to any prince, including the Former Crown Prince... My father said before he passed away that the Liang family should not privately take sides. Whomever the Emperor wants us to protect, we will protect. The Crown Prince met with misfortune, leaving behind his only bloodline. Out of no choice, the Emperor entrusted the Young Prince to Master Beikong through my father and Master Hongzhi, hoping that the Young Prince could grow up safely, come back, and inherit the great reign. But in the past six months, I have been reflecting on the Master’s words, and I have a premonition that the Young Prince will definitely not fulfill the Emperor’s wishes... So, the one who might very likely inherit the great reign in the future may be this person—"

He dipped his finger in the water from the teacup and wrote a large character on the kang table—Ning.

Upon seeing this character, Old Lady Liang’s expression became stern and she said, "On the surface, he is the least likely at the moment."

Liang Yiqian added, "Although his maternal and Yue families are not prominent, he truly has some real talent and can win people’s hearts. To my knowledge, his prestige in the military is quite high, and many soldiers admire him and are even willing to obey his commands..."

After arriving in the Capital City, Qian Yixiu had not gone out to play for even a day, spending every day preparing for the opening of the Liancourt Boutique.

She also didn’t go to Liang Mansion to pay respect to the corporate leaders, thinking that uncle Liang and his two grandchildren had stayed in Ji’an for nearly a year and must have lots of things to handle after returning to the mansion. Besides, she had entrusted Uncle Liang with gifts for the ladies of the Liang family.

She had long inquired about the family members of the Liang Mansion. Among the aristocratic families in the Capital City, the Liang family was known for its simplicity, the most senior being Old Lady Liang, who had two sons.

The eldest son, Liang Zechong, and his wife, Madam Liang, Song.

The eldest son’s family had the eldest son, Liang Yiqian, and his wife, Grandma Liang, Cui. They had an eldest son, Liang Jinzhao (seventeen years old), an eldest daughter, Liang Jinyu (ten years old), and an illegitimate third son, Liang Jinchen (twelve years old).

The second son, Liang Yihe, and his wife, Second Grandma Liang, Zhang. They had an eldest son, Liang Jintong (fourteen years old), and a fourth son, Liang Jinhua (twelve years old).

The second old master, Liang Zeli, had died young in an accident, leaving his wife, Second Lady Li of Liang.

His family had only one son, the third son, Liang Yichang, and his wife, Third Grandma Liang, Xia. They had an eldest son, Liang Jintian (ten years old), a sixth son, Liang Jinzhen (six years old), and an illegitimate daughter, Liang Jinjing (nine years old).

When she found out that Liang Jinzhao actually had an illegitimate brother and that he was the only illegitimate child of the Liang family, she was genuinely shocked. She thought that this might be related to Liang Jinzhao’s illness.

Apart from Madam Liang, there were seven female masters in Liang Mansion. Old Lady Liang, Second Lady Li of Liang, Grandma Liang, Second Grandma Liang, Third Grandma Liang, Liang Jinyu, and Liang Jinjing.

Therefore, she asked Uncle Liang to send six sets of Liancourt Cosmetics, four of which were the "Pearl Rhyme Series" suitable for adults, and two were the "Water Soft Series" for young girls. Since Second Lady Li of Liang was a widow, it was inappropriate to send her cosmetics, so she gifted her a string of Redwood Buddha Beads. These beads had been begged from the Little Monk on the ship and were said to have been blessed by his elder brother, Master Hongyuan.

To secure her place with the powerful Liang Mansion, Qian Yixiu spared no effort.

In the meantime, Uncle Liang and Young Master Song had visited once, but both were in a hurry, seemingly busy with numerous meetings and dinner parties, scarcely finding free time. Thankfully, Liang Fu, the manager, had been staying here, and many things that Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop found difficult to handle were taken care of as soon as he intervened.

In casual conversation, Qian Yixiu learned that Liang Fu had a nephew who was one of Duke Liang’s Personal Soldiers and often went to deal with matters in the Left Guard Army. She asked Liang Fu to help her inquire privately about the General surnamed Qian, under the pretext that he looked like her great-uncle and uncle, and she had heard from her family that she had a distant uncle in the Capital City who was an official. She wondered if it could be him.

She thought that although it would not be easy to inquire about someone among thousands of soldiers, the surnamed Qian General was an officer, and he was extremely handsome. Such a person would stand out anywhere and should be easy to find.
