Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 631 Right and Wrong

After a brief chat, Liang Qian asked Guyu to take the two children away and began to discuss business.

Yuwen Jue first said that order had been restored in Pingwu City, and the army would rest for two more days before taking advantage of the victory to march to Liyang.

In this battle, Yuwen Jue decided to lead the troops personally.

Liang Qian also frankly revealed the contents of the secret letter sent by Jinye. Faced with the unstoppable force of the Zhou army, the people in Jinye City were demoralized. In the court, some people have proposed moving the capital and abandoning Jinye.

In addition, since Meng ascended the throne of the empress dowager, her brother Meng Tao has revealed his extravagant nature, levying heavy taxes and collecting endless money, and even instigating the empress dowager and the new emperor to flee eastward...

In response to this, Liang Qian said frankly that she planned to return to Jinye and stabilize the situation in the city before Yuwen Jue led his troops to attack Liyang.

During the discussion, Liang Qian spoke more and Yuwen Jue spoke less. Wang Tingyue spent most of the time frowning and thinking, occasionally asking a few questions.

He was very opposed to Liang Qian's insistence on returning to Jinye, and insisted on going back alone, leaving it to him to handle the matter secretly.

The conversation between the three people did not avoid Liang Jiao.

Not sure if she was not interested or she couldn't get a word in, Liang Jiao just sat there with her head down, not saying a word.

Liang Qian only glanced at her face a few times in between conversations.

Perhaps he knew that he would not be able to reach a conclusion today, so he had no choice but to put the issue of returning to Jinye on hold.

But three days later, it was a foregone conclusion that Yuwen Jue would go to Liyang.

After finishing the business, Liang Qian drank her tea and glanced at the black dough on the table, recalling the amber dough she used to eat at home.

The topic turned to how to make amber dough. Speaking of this amber dough, I couldn't help but praise Liang Jiao and said that I wanted to learn from her.

Liang Jiao couldn't refuse, so she had to agree to make amber dough with Liang Qian during the time before dinner.

Out of the house.

Liang Jiao stopped pretending to be silent and asked after standing still: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Liang Qian was not surprised. She smiled, sent away the maidservant who followed her, and said bluntly: "A Jiao, you were sent by Lu, right?"

Liang Jiao was surprised: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Liang Qian smiled lightly, shook her head, and squinted at her: "Was it really Zhao Heng who kidnapped you that day?"

Liang Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "Who else could it be if not him? Didn't you see everything clearly that day? Why are you asking me like this now? Are you trying to evade responsibility? Well, if it wasn't for your maid who knocked me unconscious, how could I have suffered this disaster?"

Her tone was firm, but her flickering eyes revealed panic.

Liang Qian nodded and sighed slightly: "A Jiao, I asked you these questions not to verify anything from you. I know what's going on with you, who sent you, and what's your purpose. The reason why I didn't kill you and kept you alive is not because I trust you, but because of Wang Tingyue. You are his wife. If you die, he will be sad, so I spared your life. If you really love him and want to live a good life with him, I hope you can turn back and don't make the same mistake again."

Liang Jiao smiled: "Why? Have you found a bigger backer now? Don't need him anymore?"

Liang Qian lowered her eyes and said, "Ajiao, don't test my bottom line again and again."

Liang Jiao snorted and laughed, quite disdainfully: "Bottom line? Haha, that's really funny. You are a demon queen who humiliates the country and harms the people. Do you still have a bottom line? In order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you are willing to sell out the country. Now the world is full of wars. Isn't it all because of you? You still have the face to talk to me about the bottom line?

I know, aren't you just waiting for the fall of the Great Qi so that you can go to the Zhou Kingdom to be the queen? So, don't pretend to be kind and benevolent in front of me? With your hypocritical face, you can only deceive the fool Wang Tingyue!"

When she thought of the words Wang Tingyue said to her in defense of Liang Qian before she left, she hated him from the bottom of her heart.

"Liang Qian, I know you don't want him to be with me at all. Back then, you seemed to be helping me, but in fact, you were just using me. Later, the Queen Mother asked you to arrange a marriage for him, but you refused on the grounds of illness. Aren't you just trying to make him miss you all the time and use you?

Unfortunately, man's plans cannot defeat God's will. I still married him, and he even accepted me, but you just wouldn't let him go and always interfered! Until now, you still don't repent and still do this! You have no shame, and you drag him down with you, making him a traitor who is condemned by thousands of people! "

Liang Qian stared at her for a while. "Ajiao, do you think he did all these things for me?"

Liang Jiao looked like she had heard a huge joke and was laughing so hard at the sight of tears as she looked at Liang Qian.

"If it wasn't for you, then who was he doing it for? He should have been a respected general with a bright future, but you made him become a pawn at your mercy!"

Liang Qian looked at Liang Jiao's red eyes and said softly, "Liang Jiao, in your eyes, is Wang Tingyue such a person? He is only seduced by beauty and does not care about right and wrong, morality, or the country and the people?"

Liang Jiao looked at her and smiled coldly: "Isn't this all your fault?"

Liang Qian was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Liang Jiao, do you know why I gave you the pardon order that day?"

Liang Jiao smiled sarcastically but said nothing.

Liang Qian's eyes were calm and her tone was even calmer.

"There are too few true people in this world, and even fewer people are willing to risk their lives to love someone. It doesn't matter if you are not nice to me; it doesn't matter if you are not nice to others; as long as you treat him well with all your heart, that's enough. I just wanted to have such a person by his side, and I thought you were that person at the time. Now it seems that I was wrong. You didn't love him as a person, but your own obsession."

After saying this, Liang Qian glanced at her, turned around and left, and asked the maid to send Liang Jiao back to the side courtyard to be looked after.

Liang Qian walked back slowly, her steps were heavy and her heart was even heavier.

She stood quietly for a long time until she reached the door of the flower hall.

When I went in again, Yuwen Jue and Wang Tingyue were playing chess.

Liang Qian just sat down next to Yuwen Jue.

Yuwen Jue glanced to the side, put down the chess piece in his hand, and said with regret: "It seems that I won't have a good meal today."

Liang Qian raised her eyes and glared at him.

Yuwen Jue smiled and took another son.

Wang Tingyue was surprised and looked towards the door. "Why didn't A Jiao--"

"I asked someone to send her back." Liang Qian raised her eyes.

Wang Tingyue looked at her in surprise, then he understood something in his heart and sighed softly.

"A Jiao is just resentful, she doesn't have any bad intentions. If she said something rude and offended you, please don't bother with her. To be honest, it's my responsibility. It's me who made her suffer for so many years."

Liang Qian bit her lip and said nothing.

Wang Tingyue put down the chess piece in his hand, raised his eyes and said to Liang Qian seriously: "I've thought about it. After the matter in Jinye is settled, I will go back to Pingtang with her, or go somewhere else, just choose a place she likes. She lost her mother and has a bad relationship with her biological father's family. Now I am the only one she can rely on... I know she did a lot of wrong things in the past, but think about it, it was all for me. I hope you-"

"Wang Tingyue, Liang Jiao was sent by the Lu family." Liang Qian interrupted with a frown.

There should be another chapter later~
