Chapter 491 - 491 Impossible
491 Impossible
Liang Yujun looked at the long line outside the county office.
“What are these people doing?” he asked his personal attendant outside the carriage.
His personal attendant had already found out, so he respectfully replied, “Master, Princess Fubao has obtained a lot of canned fruit from the South. She said that she wants to let the people in the county town taste the fruits from the South, so she will give out 100 bowls of them for free every day.
“These people are all here to line up to taste. Many people standing at the side are just here to join in the fun.
Liang Yujun knew where Shi Qingluo had gotten her canned fruit.
He quickly guessed Shi Qingluo’s intentions. “It seems that she really treats those dandies well.”
There were quite a few people in the line, and they looked like merchants from the Western regions.
If they lined up to taste the canned fruits and they tasted really good, they would most likely go to Liang Youxiao to buy it.
After some thought, he did not go directly to the county government office, but went to the courtyard his son had bought.
Liang Mingyu knew that his father had arrived in the county and immediately rushed over from the cement workshop.
Coincidentally, he met Prince Jin and his people outside the courtyard.
He immediately got off his horse and walked over to pay his respects. “Greetings, father.”
Liang Yujun alighted from the carriage and nodded at him. “You may rise.”
“Did anything happen recently?” he asked.
Liang Mingyu thought about it and told her what happened on the day Shi Qingluo returned.
Liang Yujun had received the news long ago and had been furious.
Although he had deliberately crippled Liang Mingmin, he did not like others to publicly bully and humiliate her.
He was still thinking about how to use this matter to get some benefits from Shi Qingluo.
However, when he knew that it was Zhuo Zheng who did it, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grievance.
This was simply nonsense.
He really didn’t expect that his usually low-key and well-behaved son would hit his daughter in public.
Liang Mingmin didn’t know Zhuo Zheng’s identity, but Zhuo Zheng clearly knew that she was his elder sister!
So he ordered someone to check if there was any conflict between the two, but because they had taken a detour on the road, he had not received the latest news.
“Did the princess consort or princess ask you to do anything?” he asked Liang Mingyu after some thought.
Liang Mingyu said helplessly, “The princess consort asked me to set fire to the backyard of the county government office where Xiao Hanzheng and his family lived. I didn’t go.”
Prince Jin remained silent.
He suddenly did not know what to say.
At this moment, the door to the courtyard opened and Liang Mingmin ran out with an excited look.
“Father, you’re finally here!” He shouted from afar.
Then, she threw herself into Prince Jin’s arms. “Father, I’m being bullied so much. You must help me!”
Prince Jin furrowed his brows slightly and pushed her away in disgust.
He pretended not to know anything and asked, “Who bullied you?”
Liang Mingmin’s face was full of grievance. “Who else could it be? It’s Shi Qingluo and those lowly commoners from Heyang County.”
“Father, did you bring enough men this time?” she asked ruthlessly.
“I’m going to bring them to slaughter everyone in entire Heyang County.”
When Liang Mingyu heard this, he thought to himself, his sister is really stupid and vicious.
Not to mention that her father was only a prince with a fief, even the emperor wouldn’t let a princess lead a group of men to massacre a county!
What was she thinking?
As expected, Liang Yujun’s expression darkened when he heard this. “Nonsense!
He saw the people passing by stop in their tracks and look over.
Many of them had shocked expressions on their faces. They had clearly heard what Liang Mingmin had said.
Liang Yujun wanted to give his brainless daughter a few smacks.
Can’t we talk about it after we return to the courtyard?
In order to maintain his image in front of the people, he said sternly, “I think you’re out of your mind.
“Those in this county are also people of the northern border. You can’t just kill them as you please.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking about all day.”
This meant that it was impossible to satisfy her request.
Liang Mingmin’s face revealed an expression of disbelief. “Father, you actually won’t help me take revenge.”
“I’ve already heard about what you’ve done here,” Liang Yujun said with a dark expression.
“The people from this county did not offend you. How can you say that it’s revenge?
“You’re too willful and unruly!”
Liang Mingmin had always been very willful in Prince Jin’s residence.
Now, she heard that her father, who had always doted on her, not only did not help her take revenge, but he also blamed her.
Thus, her eyes turned red and she stomped her feet. “Father, you’ve changed. I’m going to look for my mother. You’re so annoying!”
She even glared at Prince Jin, turned around and ran back to the courtyard to complain.
Liang Mingyu and Liang Yujun remained silent.
Liang Yujun’s expression darkened again. “Let’s go back first.”
He didn’t want to let others watch a show here.
Hence, he brought Liang Mingyu into the courtyard.
He quickly closed the door to the courtyard, isolating himself from all sorts of probing gazes.
Liang Yujun went to the main hall and saw Ruan Songling sitting at the main chair, holding Liang Mingmin’s hand to comfort her.
Seeing him come in, Ruan Songling’s expression was cold. “We are being bullied so much. If your Highness doesn’t want to care, then why are you here?”
She was certain that he had come for her, so she had made a fuss.
Just now, her daughter had run back in tears, saying that not only did Liang Yujun not care about her being bullied, but he had also scolded her.
This made her very unhappy.
Prince Jin looked at Ruan Songling’s cold face and arrogant tone. He sneered. “Then I’ll leave now? ”
Ruan Songling didn’t expect him to have such an attitude.
She calmed down and said, “Leave. Don’t come back after you leave.”
She had originally thought that after saying this, Liang Yujun would come and coax him.
Who knew that Liang Yujun would actually turn and leave?
Ruan Songling was shocked and felt a little flustered for no reason.
Ever since she had argued with him in Prince Jin’s residence, his attitude towards her seemed to have changed a lot.
“Liang Yujun,” she immediately said angrily, “you’re really going to leave, you heartless man.”
Of course, this was to make Liang Yujun stay, or else how could she and her daughter take revenge?
When Liang Yujun heard this, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Weren’t you the one who told me to leave? ”
Ruan Songling glared at him. “I told you to leave, and you just left. I’ve never seen you so obedient before.”
She stopped being pretentious and immediately changed the topic to Liang Mingmin. “Your daughter is being bullied so much. Are you not going to care? ”
“Why can’t you just think for her?” she asked again.
Liang Yujun had no intention of leaving in the first place.
This woman really wouldn’t stop embarrassing him.
In the past, he was just deliberately indulging and coaxing her out of boredom. Now, he no longer had the interest and patience to do so.
He walked over and sat down. “It’s impossible for her to massacre the entire city.
“If I send some people to follow her to Heyang County today for the massacre, the imperial edict to withdraw my fief will arrive in the northern border in less than a month.
“My reputation at the northern border has also been ruined.”
He looked at Ruan Songling coldly and asked, “Why don’t you think from my point of view? ”
These words made Ruan Songling choke.
In her heart, although Liang Yujun did not become emperor in the end, be it in the capital or in the northern border, he had always been a very glorious existence.
That was why she felt that if his daughter only wanted to massacre a city and kill some lowly commoners, it was nothing.
Now that she heard Liang Yujun say this, she also felt that it was indeed not good for his reputation if the words spread.
However, she couldn’t lower her face to admit defeat, so she gently pushed her daughter and gave her a look.
