Chapter 126 Prison Visit
Chapter 126 Prison Visit
There is absolutely no way Liang Ruoxue would ask Li Jun for help because of Liang Sihan's matter. She avoids the whole thing, let alone Li Jun.
If Li Jun were to actually take action, it wouldn't be good for her reputation.
After refusing Lin Lihua's request, Liang Ruoxue stopped caring about the matter.
Lin Lihua slapped her thigh in anger: "I raised a daughter who has become successful and then forgot her roots, and my son is a good-for-nothing. What sins have I committed?"
Liang Chengli pulled Lin Lihua aside: "Let's go see our son first. We only heard about what happened from other people."
Lin Lihua was furious, but she had no choice but to follow Liang Chengli.
Xu Ying stayed in the room and instructed Song Mama: "If anyone from the second branch of the family comes, do not see them."
Granny Song nodded: "I saw that they had the gatekeeper prepare a carriage, so they must be going out. The Marquis usually doesn't care about these kinds of things, so he probably knows we won't help."
Xu Ying looked out the window. Of course, Liang Chengxuan wouldn't help; what happened to Liang Fangfei back then was a lesson learned.
However, this Liang Sihan did nothing but tarnish the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.
The Suqin Pavilion was shut down, and the fact that Liang Sihan spent 128,000 taels of silver to buy a dancer for one night was spread around, which was truly shameless.
"Have someone keep an eye on things and prevent this from spreading any further. Everyone in the manor, keep your mouths shut. Anyone who dares to gossip behind my back, get them all thrown out."
With Xu Ying's words, no one in the Marquis of Anping's mansion dared to mention Liang Sihan's matter.
When Liang Chengxuan returned, his face was very cold.
"Where did the second brother's family go?"
He went over to Xu Ying and asked her something.
Xu Ying sighed: "They said they were going to see Han'er."
Liang Chengxuan's eyes grew even colder: "You stupid fool who doesn't know when to stop. He'll only be in jail for a few years. Why bother with him? Just pretend that he doesn't exist in my manor."
Liang Chengxuan's approach was even more ruthless. Xu Ying didn't argue. So what if she had to go to jail? As long as it didn't affect her two children.
"Now, because of this incident, I wonder how many people are secretly laughing at us. It's better to end this sooner rather than later to save face."
Shen Hanyu could guess how Liang Chengxuan and the others would handle the situation. After receiving news that Lin Lihua and Liang Chengli had gone to visit her in prison, she burned the paper on a candle.
"This matter will be resolved soon, and then we can start planning to leave the Marquis's residence."
She left before the prefectural examination to sever ties with the Marquis's mansion, since she had no official rank and the glory of the Marquis's mansion had never been hers.
Leaving would be entirely beneficial for her.
"If we leave the Marquis's residence, the main difficulties will be dealing with the old lady, the Marquis, and the First Madam."
Shen Hanyu knew that she was different now than before, and that she had more interests to offer, so they definitely wanted to profit from her. But without these interests, she wouldn't have the means to leave.
"It's alright, let's take it one step at a time."
Liang Chengli used his connections to take Lin Lihua to visit Liang Sihan in prison.
After the night, Liang Sihan was also in a sorry state. He was interrogated as soon as he was arrested. It was written down that the matter of visiting prostitutes was true, not to mention that they caught him red-handed.
I don't know what Feng Xiao and Jiang Yushan said, but anyway, he's definitely guilty.
Upon seeing Liang Chengli and Lin Lihua, Liang Sihan burst into tears, crying, "Father, Mother, you must save me!"
Lin Lihua raised her hand and slapped him: "You ignorant fool! How many times have I told you not to mess around outside? Now look what's happened, the whole of Chang'an knows your name, Liang Sihan!"
Liang Chengli quickly stopped Lin Lihua: "Alright, alright, we're short on time, let's talk about something else."
Liang Sihan sniffed, and then heard Liang Chengli ask, "What exactly happened last night?"
The scene was so awkward that Liang Sihan didn't know how to describe it and hesitated for a few moments before failing to speak.
"Speak!" Lin Lihua shouted sternly.
“Last night, Feng Xiao and Jiang Yushan persuaded me to go to Suqin Pavilion. There was a beautiful dancer there, and they encouraged me to buy her for the first night, which I did. Then suddenly a group of soldiers came, shut down Suqin Pavilion, and arrested me.”
Lin Lihua frowned: "The Feng and Jiang families' sons are all hiding at home now. It turns out they did something wrong."
Liang Chengli felt things weren't that simple: "What else did you do?"
Liang Sihan lowered her head: "No..."
"Tell the truth, if you hadn't done anything, you should have gone home like the children from the Feng and Jiang families."
Liang Sihan then said, "I took that dancer to the room and we were caught red-handed."
Lin Lihua rolled up her sleeves, ready to hit him again, but Liang Sihan quickly covered her head.
"Mother, please stop hitting me! Please get me out of here first!"
Liang Chengli squatted down and sighed. He had been caught on the bed; no wonder he hadn't been put back yet.
"128,000 taels of silver? You really dare to do that! I think I might as well just beat you to death today!"
Liang Sihan ran to Liang Chengli's side: "Father, please find someone to rescue me. I can't stay here. It's dirty and smelly here, I can't stand it. Didn't Uncle say how to resolve this? And Liang Ruoxue, isn't Liang Ruoxue engaged to the Third Prince? As long as the Third Prince gives the word, won't I be able to leave?"
Liang Sihan thought of everyone involved. With so many connections, she couldn't just leave none of them to help him, could she?
Lin Lihua sneered repeatedly: "Your uncle, your uncle would love for you to be locked up at home, so that you won't go back and ruin the family reputation. He can even send his own sister to exile, let alone you."
"Say less," Liang Chengli interrupted her.
Liang Chengxuan had already given up on helping, so why would he want to turn against him?
"What about the Third Prince?" Liang Sihan pressed on, unwilling to give up.
Lin Lihua remained silent.
Liang Sihan collapsed to the ground. It's all over, everything's ruined. If only she hadn't gone ahead and bought the person, who knew it would cause such a huge disaster.
Why did they have to investigate so soon? He's been in these places for so many years, and this is the first time he's been so unlucky.
The jailer came over and said, "Your time is up. You may go home now."
Liang Chengli stood up, but Liang Sihan grabbed him again: "Father, you must save me."
Lin Lihua looked reluctant, but they couldn't stay there any longer.
"We'll figure it out."
Liang Chengli patted Liang Sihan's hand, at least she hasn't signed or sealed anything yet, there's still time.
The two of them walked back, but couldn't come up with a solution.
Finally, Lin Lihua said, "I'm going back to my parents' home to visit. You can ask the old lady."
Liang Chengli nodded; it seemed that this was the only way.
Shen Hanyu also went to the old lady's side, carrying a box in her hand.
Inside Fu'an Hall, Qiu Yue was quite surprised to see Shen Hanyu come over on her own initiative.
"Grandfather, Miss Biao has arrived."
The old lady lifted her eyelids, and it really was Shen Hanyu.
This was the first time Shen Hanyu had come over since their falling out. What was it about?
"I have come to see my grandmother today for two things, this is the first one."
Shen Hanyu pushed the wooden box over.
