Chapter 259: Calculating others, being calculated
When Yuan Wanru returned home, she heard that Liang Yusong had sent an invitation to the Cao sisters.
It came so quickly.
Before I could even sit down, the Cao sisters came hurriedly.
"Cousin-in-law, what should we do? Liang Yusong invited us to visit the Duke of Wei's mansion the day after tomorrow, and my great-aunt has already agreed."
Although everyone in the capital knew the news of Liang Zhi's disability.
However, Old Lady Lu liked Liang Yusong, and she sincerely invited the Cao sisters to visit the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. Of course, Old Lady Lu would not refuse.
Cao Lanxin said gloomily, "My great-aunt also said that after we get married, we must also move around in the capital."
"Being able to establish a relationship with the Duke of Wei's Mansion will be beneficial to us, not harmful."
This sounds reasonable, but the key point is that Madam Lu is blind and stupid, and she mistook a poisonous snake for a little rabbit.
"Cousin, I'm really scared. Something might happen the day after tomorrow."
Yuan Wanru took the invitation she was holding in her hand, opened it and took a look: "She didn't invite me, but she invited Lu Miao and Lu Rong."
Liang Zhi is probably mentally twisted now, and he may not only focus on the Cao sisters tomorrow. Lu Miao and Lu Rong may not be safe either.
"Has Second Aunt also agreed to let Lu Miao and Lu Rong attend the banquet?"
"Yes."
It was their first time going to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. If they were really plotted against, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Thinking of this, Cao Lanxin was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Cao Lanzhi was also anxious. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Yuan Wanru with longing: "Cousin, you must have a way, right?"
Yuan Wanru reached out and pulled Cao Lanxin, "Stop turning around, sit down and listen to me. I've already thought of a way to break the deadlock. Listen to me."
……
After she finished her story, the Cao sisters felt relieved.
"Okay, we'll listen to our cousin's wife."
Yuan Wanru smiled and sent them off: "Go back and have a good sleep. You must be braver tomorrow."
Cao Lanxin took the reassurance given by Yuan Wanru, and thinking of Liang Yusong's sinister and vicious calculations, a sharp look appeared on her face: "Don't worry, cousin, if she dares to do this to me, I will make the Liang family suffer."
-
At night, after Lu Jiangnian returned home, Yuan Wanru told him her plan.
"Liang Nian gave me the layout of the Duke of Wei's mansion. The place where we will have the banquet tomorrow is not far from the west wall of our mansion."
"So, tomorrow's game depends on you."
The pretty girl was in high spirits and her eyes were lively as she spoke. Lu Jiangnian's eyes were immediately glued to her face and he couldn't bear to look away.
There was an undercurrent in my heart that wanted to overflow, but it seemed to be forcibly suppressed by something.
It's Lianzhi Gu.
Don't let him fall in love with any woman other than the mother Gu host.
Into the boiling magma fell heavy snow, extinguishing all the surging love.
Liang Yusong.
There was a strong murderous intent in Lu Jiangnian's eyes.
-
The Duke of Wei's mansion has been a place of honor for generations. This ancestral home has experienced a century of glory. It is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and is magnificent and luxurious with pleasant scenery.
The place where Liang Yusong hosted the banquet today was a warm room.
She still cannot stand the wind. Even in the mansion, she has to wear a long veil and cover her hands tightly, not exposing any inch of her skin.
When Lu Miao, Lu Rong and the Cao sisters arrived, Liang Yusong did not go out to greet them, but sat in the airtight warm room and waited for them to arrive.
A few people hadn't seen each other for a while, and since they had been together for a while, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other. They greeted each other and the atmosphere was very warm.
Lu Rong mentioned Liang Yusong's hasty departure from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and asked inquiringly, "What illness did Sister Liang have that day?"
When she mentioned this, Liang Yusong almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.
"Nothing, just something I ate that gave me this rash."
"Look, I'm fine now. There's nothing wrong with me."
At this moment, Liang Yusong's skin was the same as usual, and it was indeed healed.
The food at the Duke of Weiguo's mansion was well prepared. After staying there for about an hour, Cao Lanxin wanted to go to the toilet, and Cao Lanzhi followed her.
Liang Yusong glanced at the maid leading the way and smiled meaningfully.
The Cao family was ungrateful and actually secretly got engaged to someone else.
So what if we get engaged?
Cao Lanxin was the wife she had chosen for her second brother a long time ago. Now that her second brother was in so much pain, Cao Lanxin had to stay with him.
After today, Cao Lanxin can only marry her second brother.
If my second brother is still unhappy, he can take Cao Lanzhi in as well.
They were just lowly merchant girls, and it was a great fortune for them to be able to marry into the Liang family.
After a while, Lu Miao became a little worried, "Sister Liang, why did my cousin and the others take so long?"
Lu Rong was heartless and said nonchalantly, "How could two people this big get lost?"
"It's none of your business, so don't bother talking about it. It makes you look like you're being kind. It's unnecessary."
As she spoke, she glanced at Liang Yusong inadvertently, then pointed at Liang Yusong's face excitedly: "Ah, Sister Liang, your face is so scary."
At this moment, Liang Yusong also felt a familiar itch on his face.
Seeing Lu Rong's startled look, she touched it with trembling hands, and sure enough, it was those familiar bumps.
She immediately turned her head and looked at the two maids standing by the door, her eyes looking as if she wanted to eat them: "What's going on? Didn't you close the door tightly?"
The two maids knelt down and apologized: "There is no wind, there is really no wind."
Liang Yusong, however, became furious: "They are lying, so they dare to lie. Come, take them away and give them twenty lashes of the board."
She immediately picked up the veil she had been wearing and covered her entire face with it.
The itchy feeling made her very crazy, but Lu Rong was still yelling: "Sister Liang, didn't you say you were fine?"
"Why is it like this again?"
"Do you have some infectious disease?"
Liang Yusong yelled, "Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll poison you to silence."
At this time, she no longer had any mood to maintain her previous gentle image.
Her voice was cold and terrifying, frightening Lu Rong so much that she hid behind Lu Miao and stuttered, "You... dare."
Liang Yusong was wearing a veil hat, and Lu Miao couldn't see the expression on her face. However, she felt that the person in front of her was very different from the Liang Yusong she knew before.
"Sister Liang, don't be angry. I think today's banquet should be dismissed. You should go find a doctor first."
The Cao sisters have been away for quite some time, and Liang Yusong feels that it’s time for things to be done.
The ringworm had recurred for some reason, and she was no longer in the mood to keep the guests. "Okay, you guys go back first."
Just then, there was a commotion outside, and then someone shouted, "Hurry up, something happened."
Liang Yusong finally felt better.
Unexpectedly, when she and Lu Miao rushed over, they saw several people fighting on the roof of the room, one of whom was a masked man in black.
The doors and windows of the wing room were broken and open on all sides.
"what happened?"
Where is her second brother?
The Cao sisters were standing nearby, their clothes intact. Seeing her, they angrily said, "Sister Liang, don't go in. These people are yelling about catching thieves, and they're fighting for no apparent reason."
As he was speaking, the masked man lifted Liang Zhi onto the roof. He even reached out and touched Liang Zhi's genitals, then laughed arrogantly: "I said, it looks wrong, it turns out to be a eunuch with a broken leg."
"I'll give it back to you."
He threw Liang Zhi out like a rag, and Liang Shangjiong, who came rushing over, hurriedly caught him.
However, the fact that Liang Zhicheng had become a eunuch was shouted at by the masked man, and everyone within a few miles could hear it clearly.
