Chapter 108 You Can't Stand to See Me Doing Well
Now Shen Hanyu needs a legitimate reason to go to Suzhou.
Of course, Liang Fangrong couldn't tell anyone. Pei Du was about to leave Chang'an, and it was uncertain whether anyone would be unable to contain themselves. Perhaps they could ask Ji Yuxiu and Wei Ming for help with this matter.
It wouldn't hurt to cover for her a little, as long as she comes back soon.
Miao Cui was also very quick; she found a house for her the very next day.
The man seemed to be short of money and wanted to make the deal quickly. Shen Hanyu didn't agree immediately, but instead went to look at the house first.
“Girl, everything in this house is new. I haven’t lived here for long. If my mother hadn’t been seriously ill, I wouldn’t have wanted to sell it.”
Shen Hanyu went inside and took a look around. Indeed, the furnishings and decorations were all brand new, the configuration was decent, and the price was acceptable.
She has an exam tomorrow and wants to make a decision as soon as possible.
The two went through the proper procedures and changed the house's name to Shen Hanyu's.
With the land deed in hand, this marked the first time Shen Hanyu truly owned a house.
Miao Cui was also very happy.
"Young lady, will you be moving out in the future?"
Shen Hanyu nodded: "I will definitely have to leave the Marquis's mansion, but my grandmother won't let me go so easily now. Let's resolve the matter in Suzhou first, and then we'll see what happens next."
Miao Cui agreed. The people from the Marquis's mansion probably wanted to take a piece of flesh from Shen Hanyu. Anyone who saw Shen Hanyu's betrothal gifts would be envious and jealous.
"Miss, Young Master Pei is heading to the border. Shall we go and see him off?"
"Of course, I'll see her off," Shen Hanyu said, getting into the carriage and heading towards the city gate.
She timed it perfectly; when she arrived at the city gate, Pei Du had not yet left with the group.
Pei Du is currently just a lowly soldier in this team, and it's anyone's guess what will happen to him when he returns.
Pei Du was clearly somewhat surprised to see Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu held up a box and handed it to Pei Du.
“I’m not that heartless. You’ve helped me so many times, so of course I had to come and see you off.”
As if understanding the meaning behind Pei Du's expression just now, Shen Hanyu spoke up to explain.
Pei Du looked at the box: "What is this?"
Shen Hanyu opened the box, inside was a piece of gold-threaded soft armor. She had spent a lot of money to find this piece and gave it to Pei Du for self-defense.
"Keep wearing it on and don't take it off; it can save your life."
The gold-threaded soft nails are expensive, and Shen Hanyu really put her heart into it.
A warm feeling washed over Pei Du. Besides his maternal grandfather's family, Xu Zhun and Shen Hanyu were the only ones who came to see him off.
"Thank you, I will remember what you said."
Shen Hanyu nodded.
"The Hou family plans to report to the authorities before He Rufeng makes a move, which means they've given up on Liang Fangfei. If this information is useful to you, you can take advantage of it."
Shen Hanyu's eyes lit up. "Your news came just in time."
She hadn't done anything because she wasn't sure when the Marquis's mansion would make its move, but now that she knew, that was good.
"I have to go now. Golden Hammer will come to serve you. Did you buy a property?"
Shen Hanyu hummed in agreement.
“You can send him to watch over the house. You can ask him and Xu Zhun to do anything.”
"it is good."
Pei Du turned and went back to the group. He couldn't stay any longer; there was no time left.
After Pei Du left, Jin Chui went to Shen Hanyu's side.
Following Pei Du's instructions, Shen Hanyu asked Jin Chui to manage her property for a while, and then did a small favor.
Liang Fangfei, who was staying at the Marquis's residence, was waiting for Liang Chengxuan to resolve her own affairs. After all, Liang Fangrong's husband had died and she was able to be brought back to the Marquis's residence, so she should be able to as well.
"Madam, Madam! Something terrible has happened!"
The maid rushed in, flustered.
Liang Fangfei's eyelids twitched. "What happened? Is He Rufeng causing trouble again?"
"No, it was the Marquis. The Marquis sent someone to report to the authorities."
Liang Fangfei stood up abruptly. Liang Chengxuan sent someone to report to the authorities.
Could it be that Xu Ying instigated it?
It's not impossible. After all, she is Liang Chengxuan's younger sister. Last night, her mother told her not to worry. How could she possibly report her to the authorities and have her arrested? It must be Xu Ying who instigated Liang Chengxuan to do this for the sake of the Xu family.
Are you really that unable to bear seeing her doing well?
"I'm going to find my older brother."
Liang Fangfei couldn't just sit idly by and wait for the authorities to arrest her.
She ran to the study, only to be blocked outside.
"Brother, why won't you see me?"
Liang Fangfei stood outside the study and questioned him, but the servant blocked her way and refused to let her in.
Liang Chengxuan stayed in his study practicing calligraphy, completely ignoring the cries and shouts outside.
Preparations had already been made last night, so Liang Fangfei had no choice but to give up. Otherwise, if he had helped Liang Fangfei this time, countless people would have impeached him.
It's not worth jeopardizing your career and reputation.
He has always been a detached person, and the old lady knew this.
Liang Fangfei cried for a while and realized it wasn't working, so she went to find the old lady again, but the old lady said she was sick and wouldn't see anyone.
"Qiuyue, let me see my mother. Before I got married, I was also the third daughter in my family. You can help Liang Fangrong, why can't you help me?"
Qiu Yue sighed and patted Liang Fangfei's hand: "Madam, the Marquis is now in charge of the manor. If you want to break this deadlock, you can only ask the Marquis."
Qiu Yue threw the question back to Liang Chengxuan, and Liang Fangfei roughly understood.
She made up her mind and ran to the second wife's side.
Liang Chengli didn't stop her from coming in, and Lin Lihua rolled her eyes.
"Second brother, even if eldest brother doesn't care about my life or death, you can't just ignore me. Back when you went on the scientific expedition, I sewed your knee pads stitch by stitch. Second brother, have you forgotten all that?"
Lin Lihua tidied her sideburns.
"Don't bring up old, trivial matters. Third sister, it's not that we don't want to help, but we live in the Marquis's mansion and we have to consider eldest brother's wishes. How could we dare to go against eldest brother?"
Lin Lihua said with a troubled expression, secretly pinching Liang Chengli behind her back, telling him not to let that little bit of family affection cloud his judgment.
Liang Ruoxue came out when she heard the noise and saw that it was Liang Fangfei, which made her feel a little annoyed.
Liang Fangfei also saw Liang Ruoxue and went over to grab Liang Ruoxue's hand.
“Good child, I know you have a good relationship with the Third Prince. Could you talk to him and ask them not to arrest me? I am your aunt. We are a family, and we share the same fate.”
Liang Fangfei had no other choice but to do this; if she were exiled, she would be completely beyond saving.
Liang Ruoxue pushed her hand away.
"Aunt, aren't you trying to get me into trouble? I'm not stupid."
Having finally secured a marriage agreement with Li Jun, Liang Ruoxue would never do such a thing.
A hint of resentment flashed in Liang Fangfei's eyes. It was just a matter of opening her mouth, so why did it become so difficult for them?
Liang Chengli dared not utter a word, mainly because he did not want to go against Liang Chengxuan's wishes.
Liang Chengxuan had already informed them that Liang Fangfei's matter could only be handled by the authorities. If they took action themselves before He Rufeng, they could at least gain a good reputation.
