Chapter 1099 Don't ruin your brain
Liang Chongyue had witnessed the whole process, and when she spoke to Xiang Zheng, tears welled up in her eyes.
Liang Chongyue handed over a handkerchief.
It's not good if I feel completely unmoved.
But even after squeezing, no tears came out.
"So what are you going to do?"
Xiang Zheng poured wine for His Majesty, then raised his own cup and downed three cups in one go.
"Since Your Majesty believes my words, it means you believe in my character, Xiang Zheng. I will not hide it from Your Majesty. When Yu'er was young, there were indeed a few relatives from collateral branches who stayed temporarily at the Xiang family with their dogs."
I've also seen marks on Yu'er, but I never thought of it that way.
When Xiang Zheng got to this point, tears had already streamed down her face.
The hand holding the wine glass was trembling.
"Yu'er still remembers what happened back then, which was that God didn't want him to suffer this pain and hardship for nothing."
I will definitely help him get justice.
Liang Chongyue wanted to pretend that she didn't understand, but she didn't know who else would believe that she really didn't understand, besides herself.
"You shouldn't have told me; you should have just done it."
Liang Chongyue will pretend he didn't see it.
It was not something Liang Chongyue should have done, but since such matters were difficult to explain, they ended up in front of the palace.
Liang Chongyue couldn't make a judgment either, saying that she believed the words of a child who hadn't fully developed his intelligence.
Should we execute a few bad people who might use brutal methods to harm others?
Liang Chongyue didn't know how to judge the situation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiang Zheng's eyes were already red from crying, and Liang Chongyue thought of herself right after giving birth.
Minglang was assassinated. She had just finished her postpartum confinement when she took her sword and went to confront Liang Chongzhen.
She was killed by her good brother.
Liang Chongyue had done many things before, including going against the grain and bending the law for personal gain.
In other words, she's the empress now, and nobody dares to say anything about her.
"Make it clean. Don't be silly like this time and just bring over a bottle of wine. Do you still remember why I went to Guanzhong back then and why I was separated from Minglang for a year?"
How could Xiang Zheng not remember that the capital city was almost in chaos that year?
Several forces seemed to have suddenly appeared.
That year was also difficult for the Xiang family.
"So do it cleanly, don't give anyone any leverage. If you go to Guanzhong for a year and come back, I really can't guarantee you that the Xiang family can rise again so easily."
The court is now overflowing with talented people that Liang Chongyue can't possibly use them all. And these are the students from her high school class from ten years ago who have come to her.
From now on, the Great Xia will never have to worry about a lack of talent.
The entire world is filled with the future pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Yes, I understand. I will absolutely not make things difficult for Your Majesty."
Looking at Xiang Zheng like this, Liang Chongyue thought of herself back then.
"Tell me your plan, and I will offer my advice based on my own experience."
Xiang Zheng hesitated for a long time before revealing all her dirty tricks.
Liang Chongyue looked at her, and Xiang Zheng lowered her head a little embarrassed.
"Do you know that I was just about to use the Lin family a little? You've framed the Lin family for this. Do you think the Lin family is someone to be trifled with?"
You might as well buy some medicine and poison them all to death. There will be plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables after spring. I remember that the Xiang family's fruits and vegetables are sent from your own estate every year.
Those estates are now in your hands. You can choose a suitable household and use this opportunity to legitimately sell the person off to the capital.
Xiang Sheng stood at the small corner. Today, she saw her mother in bed after hearing her younger brother's story.
His eyes were red with anger, fearing that his mother might get agitated and confront His Majesty.
Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven.
How could she believe her younger brother, who was just a child? She followed him, worried about him.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually believed his mother's words.
Not only that, she was also helping her mother come up with ideas.
Xiang Sheng had a strange feeling that if his mother cried in front of His Majesty again, His Majesty might solve the problem himself.
As soon as the idea came to mind, Xiang Sheng immediately shook his head, trying to shake it out of his head.
My mother always said, "Mountains crumble, people run away," no matter what happens.
You can only rely on yourself.
"If you really can't manage, I'll send two people to kill them, as revenge for the child."
Xiang Sheng fell silent again.
It turns out that what my mother said was true, and His Majesty's statement that "I am a closer aunt than your aunt from the Xiang family" was also true.
For the first time, Xiang Sheng realized that his mother's backing was so powerful.
She was so excited watching it.
"That's not necessarily true. If I couldn't even handle something this simple, wouldn't I be utterly useless and unworthy to stand beside His Majesty?"
When he said this, Liang Chongyue just drank and didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, I didn't want what happened back then. Please don't be angry."
Liang Chongyue looked at the marks left by Xiang Zheng's fingernails on the back of her hand, which was gripping hers.
"That's enough. We both had our difficulties back then, so we don't need to dwell on these things."
Liang Chongyue abruptly changed the subject, addressing Xiang Zheng as follows:
"I do have a need for the Lin family, so you should choose someone else."
"Isn't that perfect? I'll refine the Lin family's design to be more refined, making it easier for His Majesty to use."
Xiang Zheng refined the plan once more, and Liang Chongyue listened.
"Do you have a grudge against the Lin family?"
Xiang Zheng wasn't such a petty person before, always keeping a close eye on the Lin family.
Liang Chongyue had already realized what was happening.
Xiang Zheng didn't come to me for drinks tonight because of those parasites in the Xiang family.
The purpose was to report to her before taking action against the Lin family.
However, she didn't see any connection between this matter and the Lin family in the information sent to her by the system.
"It was Sheng'er. This year, Sheng'er was helping me with the bookkeeping at the restaurant when he was humiliated by those two dim-witted members of the Lin family."
I wasn't there at the time. By the time I found out, the Lin family had already brought those two brats to apologize.
“At that time, the situation at home was unstable, and I hadn’t settled down yet. I couldn’t stand up for Sheng’er. I still feel bad when I think about it now.”
Liang Chongyue thought of the little girl hiding around the corner. After hearing so much, she should have received a satisfactory answer by now.
"Do whatever you want, just don't mess it up. The Lin family may be scoundrels, but they're still smart."
This is the divide between the established families and the newly rich in Beijing today.
If a family with a long tradition of nobility fails to produce talented individuals, its status will inevitably be replaced by new elites sooner or later.
Even the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is in such a predicament because there is no powerful figure in the court right now.
Even if Xiang Sheng is humiliated, Xiang Zheng cannot enter the palace to tell her about it.
A win in the present moment is not a true win; there will always be areas she can't cover.
A relationship built on constant giving will eventually run out of steam.
