He thrust the half-filled cup of tea back into her hand.

"Drink."

His tone was neither painful nor itchy, and his face was calm.

Liang Huan, however, was holding the cup as if on pins and needles, and did not dare to look at the Queen Mother's face.

She was holding a hot potato, waiting for a long time but not seeing the expected storm.

If it were applied to ordinary people, this kind of embarrassment on the surface, even if it is not a crime, it would still be an expression of anger.

But the Queen Mother was not smiling at all, and she didn't even have the slightest hint of anger on her face. Her expression was cold and indifferent, just like Lu Xiu.

It is worthy of being carefully cultivated by Taishi Lu.

She could still adapt to the silence of two people, but the silence of three people was too stressful.

Liang Huan buried his head low and could only endure the strangeness and take a sip of 'hot potato' to avoid looking too stiff.

After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother looked at Liang Han with a smile.

"It's been a while since you entered the Grand Master's Mansion. The Ai family has always wanted to see you. Since we were far away during the Qianqiu Banquet, I simply asked you to come into the palace today. In fact, it's not that important. It's just a few words of advice."

Liang Huan put down the cup and gently raised his eyes: "Listen quietly to the Queen Mother's teachings."

The Queen Mother: "He is the only one left in front of the Grand Master now. You went there first and are naturally more familiar with the mansion. The Cao family and the Queen are both gentle and virtuous people of the same temperament. I only hope that you will live in harmony." "

Liang Huan said sincerely: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I never dare to forget my identity."

The Queen Mother asked again about what happened at the Qianqiu Banquet, and Liang Huan told Gao Qian exactly what she said.

"You are well-behaved, bold, and attentive," the Queen Mother looked at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "You are a good craftswoman. The Buddha statue you presented is very exquisite. You can come to Renshou Hall more often in the future if you have nothing to do."

Yes, the Queen presented the previously embroidered Buddha statue to the Queen Mother.

Lu Xiu did not stop him, so Liang Huan complied.

From the beginning to the end, the Queen Mother's eyes were gentle and her tone was the same as before. It seemed that she was specifically called to come here just for these few words that were neither salty nor bland.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother ordered someone to send her out of the palace. She had other matters to discuss with Lu Xiu.

Liang Huan saluted and then left.

As she stepped out of the palace, she heard voices inside again.

"Tomorrow, the Ai family will go to the ceremony with the emperor... No wonder you love her so much, she is indeed the same -"

"The Queen Mother has misunderstood, loving her has nothing to do with others..."

A few words fell deep in the palace behind me, and no trace of them was heard again.

Until he got on the cart, Liang Huan was still confused.

Intuitively, the Queen Mother did not like her.

But she was asked to go to Renshou Palace from time to time.

The Queen Mother had no intention of poisoning the tea, so why did Lu Xiu act like that? It's clearly like it was done deliberately to look like it.

And that image, who does she look like?

Was the painting in the garden also her misunderstanding?

Zhou Yun also said something like...

No, these issues are not something she should consider!

Liang Huan raised the curtain, and the autumn wind swept across her face. She closed her eyes and suddenly felt much more awake.

She just needs to work hard to survive and get revenge!

As for some people and some things, you can use them, but you don't need to take them to heart.

In this life, she is only loyal to herself...

The grain shop has been open for a few days, but she has not gone there yet. It is just because the house is preparing for Lu Xiu's marriage, and it is not suitable for her to go in and out. But today is an opportunity to simply take a look.

After making up his mind, Liang Huan put down the curtain and turned around to tell the coachman to go to the Western Market.

The passenger flow in the West Market is low, business is sluggish, and it is gradually declining. Some shops are difficult to operate. As long as the price is in place, it is easy to buy them.

Due to Lu Xiu's relationship, she couldn't do business, but Qiu Xi was different.

With the store and the addition of a warehouse, stocking has become more reasonable. With Qiuxi checking the quality of the goods, you can rest assured. As for the shopkeeper, Song Tan is responsible for finding it.

The newly opened store is located on an inconspicuous street corner in Dongshi. The appearance of the front door is basically the same, except for the plaque. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell that the owner has changed.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Liang Huan let the cart park on the street while she walked over.

This street is really deserted when you say it is deserted. At a glance, it is deserted.

"Mrs. Liang, why are you here?"

Qiu Xi just finished inspecting today's goods and was shocked to see Liang Huan when she looked up.

When away from home, it was not appropriate to call her Niangzi, and it was even more inappropriate to call her Liang Ji. Therefore, it was agreed in advance that Liang Huan was a widowed woman and would only be called Madam.

For convenience, Qiuxi also dresses up as a woman.

Liang Huan walked forward with a smile and stretched his head to take a look at the new grains, which were yellow and clear.

Look at Qiuxi again from head to toe. She is dressed in coarse linen, with a simple bun, and only one silver hairpin on her head. She does not look like a hostess, but a hard-working bride.

Qiu Xi was not in a hurry to talk to Liang Huan. After carefully counting and checking, she signed the receipt, and the shopkeeper took over the rest.

The shopkeeper only regarded Liang Huan as a major customer.

So good.

The back door of the store is connected to a small courtyard. Qiu Xi lives in the main house, and the woman in charge of the kitchen and cleaning lives in the side room.

"This is the grain store, and there's also a medicine store," Qiu Xi said as she walked, "I'm afraid it's just the medicine—"

Liang Huan understood that Qiu Xi didn't know anything about medicinal materials, "The house has been busy with weddings recently. After these few days pass, I will choose them myself."

Within a few days, Qiu Xi looked noticeably thinner than before. Although she didn't open this store to make money, she was serious and wanted to do it well.

Liang Huan looked around and saw that it was almost time and did not dare to stay any longer.

Qiu Xi sent her out and to the cart.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a woman pestering the coachman and his entourage, crying and wiping tears as if she was saying something.

That woman is Yao Jinse.

Liang Huan stepped forward and walked forward slowly. She hadn't seen Yao Jinse for a few days since she took the initiative to come to the door that day, but she didn't know what the purpose of her visit was.

"Madam—" Qiu Xi followed.

Sensing someone coming, Yao Jinse turned around, his eyes burst into tears and burst into tears. He let go of his entourage and rushed towards Liang Huan.

"Uncle!"

Liang Huan stopped when he was some distance away from her and avoided her hand lightly.

Qiu Xi also stood over.

Yao Jinse knew he was losing his composure, but he couldn't take it into consideration. He just said anxiously with red eyes: "Uncle, auntie committed suicide!"

Liang Huan felt as if someone had punched her hard, and her head was buzzing.

Her legs were weakening and her heart was trembling. She gritted her teeth and said, "Speak clearly."

Yao Jinse wiped her tears and sighed: "After my uncle left that day, my eldest aunt stopped eating or drinking. No matter how much I and my aunt Jun tried to persuade her, it was no use. She didn't come out of the house for a long time in the morning. I didn't want to go in and she was hanging." Liang..."

Liang Huan was stiff and cold, her lips were trembling, and her teeth were chattering: "Is she dead?"

"Dead!" Yao Jinse breathed, bitterly, "Uncle is so cruel, why did she push my aunt to death?"

Liang Huan could no longer hear the words, and just stared blankly at Yao Jinse's mouth opening and closing.

"Madam——" Qiu Xi quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, turned to tell the attendant the specific address, and asked him to return home to report the news.

"This slave will accompany you to see off the eldest lady."
