The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 146 Need Her Help

"My sister is right. I don't have the same good fortune as her."

Liang Ruochu lowered her eyes, still looking weak and incompetent.

Liang Ruoxue smiled and said, "It's good that you know."

Wait a little longer. Shen Hanyu is right here now. If we want to take action against Shen Hanyu, we will eventually have to ask that person for help.

That person won't act unless their own interests are threatened.

Liang Ruochu took a deep breath. Once things were settled, even if the Crown Prince had only said it casually, Xu Ying would still give her everything he had promised.

Once you escape this cage, things will get better.

Liang Ruochu didn't have many ambitions; these were all she had.

Jin Chui walked up to Shen Hanyu and said, "Miss, someone has broken into our house."

Shen Hanyu wanted to ask who it was, but then changed her mind.

"Let them find it, and we'll follow their plan. I also want to see what these people can accomplish."

It would be best if she couldn't resist, so she could have something on her hands and take care of these people as well.

Jin Chui nodded and didn't have anyone tie up the guy who had sneaked into the house.

"Give them a little hint to see if they're planning those things."

Shen Hanyu was getting tired of always being passive, and wondered where Xu Ying and Liang Ruochu would go next.

Li Huaijiang probably knows something, but not much; family matters aren't so easy to investigate.

The lively atmosphere at the banquet continued unabated. As evening approached, Liang Siyu had already drunk quite a bit of wine, but she still showed no signs of intoxication.

The old lady looked tired.

"You younger ones can stay here and have some fun. I'm going to rest now."

Everyone stood up to see her off, and Liang Ruochu's figure disappeared into the crowd.

"Half an hour ago, that person left the house, taking a statement with him."

Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow; this was interesting.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

Shen Hanyu remained calm and slowly accepted the braised pork knuckle handed to her by Wei Ming. It must be said that the food at this wedding banquet was indeed quite good.

Liang Fangrong drank the soup and got up to leave. Everyone was preoccupied with their own business. She felt bored staying there and wanted to go back.

On the way, they saw Liang Ruochu grab Qiuyue, who was serving the old lady and looked completely bewildered.

"Qiuyue, I need to see Grandma. It's about Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu is going to destroy our Marquis's mansion!"

Upon hearing the name Shen Hanyu, Liang Fangrong stopped to the side and saw Xia's eyelids twitch.

The others didn't notice her. Liang Ruochu's anxious expression seemed genuine, and her words were quite intimidating.

"I'll take you there."

The old lady was about to retire when Qiuyue rushed in with Liang Ruochu.

Liang Fangrong followed out of curiosity, but she couldn't hear anything coming from inside.

"Madam, let's go. It's not good to eavesdrop like this."

Liang Fangrong shook her head: "It seems to be related to Miaoyi, I'll just listen."

Seeing that Xia couldn't persuade her, she could only follow Liang Fangrong, silently praying that nothing bad would happen.

Liang Ruochu went in and didn't come out for a long time, and Liang Fangrong's brows furrowed with a hint of irritation.

What did it say?

As I was pondering this, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"What are you doing here, Madam?"

The person who came was Qiu Yue, and Liang Fangrong was startled.

"I just happened to end up here."

Qiu Yue smiled and pushed Jian Xia aside, then helped Liang Fangrong.

"Madam, the old lady wishes to see you."

A hint of fear flashed in Liang Fangrong's eyes; she instinctively felt afraid.

Upon entering the master bedroom of Fu'an Hall, Liang Ruochu was not present; the dim candlelight illuminated the old lady's face.

"Fangrong, why aren't you at the table?"

Liang Fangrong was restless. She clutched her handkerchief and replied, "I didn't find it interesting, so I came back."

The old lady sighed, her tone kind.

"That's true. You've been back for so long, and a lot of things have happened in the manor. Your relationship with Hanyu has also turned out like this. She abandoned you and left the manor, leaving you all alone. Shen Yanzhi is the same. I understand the bitterness in your heart."

Liang Fangrong's shoulders slumped, and her nose stung with tears.

Yes, a deep bitterness had been building up in her heart, as if no one understood her.

Now that the old lady said that, I couldn't hold back my tears.

The old lady got up and placed her aged hand on her shoulder.

“You are still my daughter, and I love you. Hanyu is a child of the Shen family. Although she is a piece of your flesh, you have seen what she has done. Fangrong, Hanyu has done wrong. For the sake of the Marquis’s mansion, I have to take care of her. You know what to do, right?”

Those words were whispered in her ear, and Liang Fangrong's tears stopped abruptly, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"Fangrong, we are on the same side. The Marquis's mansion prospers with you and suffers with you. You will always bear the surname Liang."

A chill seeped from her very bones, and Liang Fangrong's jaw clenched. This was the first time she had ever felt the terror of her mother.

She dared not move, and only asked in a low voice, "Mother, what are you going to do to Miaoyi?"

“I won’t do anything to her. This is a family matter. After all, she is my granddaughter.”

Liang Fangrong's heart was never at ease.

Shen Hanyu kept an eye on the commotion over there. Liang Ruochu never returned; her last appearance was at Fu'an Hall.

What is Liang Ruochu going to say to the old lady at Fu'an Hall?

It was already dark, and some guests got up to leave. They had already been kept in limbo for so long. Yu Qi walked over.

"His Highness asked me to escort you back."

Shen Hanyu nodded and was about to leave when Qiuyue arrived.

"Young lady, the old lady wants to speak with you privately."

This was the first time the old lady had approached her since their falling out. The old lady had always been a selfish person, so it was surprising that she could persuade her this time. Shen Hanyu recalled the confession and understood.

She smiled and replied, "Okay."

As he got up, he gave Yu Qi a wink, and Yu Qi understood, turning to leave.

Qiu Yue also noticed Yu Qi, but she didn't recognize him. Right now, she just wanted to take Shen Hanyu away.

Xu Ying glanced in this direction, her heart leaping with joy.

"Mother, will it be alright?" Liang Ruoyan asked uncertainly.

Because Shen Hanyu was really difficult to deal with, she lacked confidence.

“Shen Hanyu knows too much. If we don’t destroy her, our Marquis’s mansion will really be dragged down by her.”

"I'm just afraid of not eradicating the problem completely." Liang Ruoyan lowered her eyes.

If it weren't for Shen Hanyu, how could she have encountered so many misfortunes?

Xu Ying summoned Granny Song: "Has Yu'er seen everything?"

Granny Song nodded: "No one is allowed to disturb the young master's wedding night tonight."

Xu Ying felt relieved when the only person in the manor who would speak up for Shen Hanyu was taken away.

After seeing the guests off, they turned to watch the show.

Shen Hanyu was taken to Fu'an Hall. The old lady sat in the main seat, with Liang Fangrong and Liang Ruochu sitting below her.

Liang Ruochu didn't dare to look up at Shen Hanyu, shrinking her neck like a quail.

"What private words does Grandmother want to say to me?" Shen Hanyu asked with a smile, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

Seeing Shen Hanyu like this, the old lady narrowed her eyes. This child is indeed nothing like Liang Fangrong. She is not easy to handle.

Previously, there were reservations about taking action against Shen Hanyu, but now there is no choice but to do so.
