The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss
Chapter 99 What a big show
This remark immediately angered Duke Rong. He scolded Liang Changjin for being ungrateful and threatened him with his future. As long as he wanted, he could make it impossible for Liang Changjin to take a single step in Yundu and make it impossible for him to survive.
Liang Changjin also had a stubborn temper. He immediately said that he would rather resign and return home than divorce his wife and marry another.
After saying that, he walked away.
Duke Rong was furious and had someone imitate Liang Changjin's notes to write a divorce letter. He also bribed the inn's waiter to steal Liang Changjin's butterfly wood carving and sent it to Su Yuwan.
This was the first divorce letter Su Yuwan received.
The person sent by Duke Rong pretended to be Liang Changjin's servant, but he was arrogant. He took the divorce letter and praised Liang Changjin in front of the Su family. He also belittled Su Yuwan, saying that she was the daughter of a merchant and was not presentable, and could not help Liang Changjin, and would only bring shame to him in the future.
Let her be sensible and sign the divorce papers, so as not to delay their master from marrying another girl.
Although Su Yuwan was shocked after hearing this, she was still willing to believe in Liang Changjin's character and didn't believe that he would do such a thing.
The Su family was the same. They didn't believe that Liang Changjin would say this. They had been with Liang Changjin day and night for so long and knew him well. They didn't believe that he would change his mind so quickly, so they scolded that lackey.
Su Yuwan said that she wanted to divorce and asked Liang Changjin to come and talk to her in person.
Duke Rong's lackey returned with nothing and told Duke Rong about the Su family's reaction with exaggeration.
After hearing this, Duke Rong was even more unwilling to give up. At this point, he wanted more than just to fulfill his daughter's wish, but also to save face for himself. He was used to being high and mighty and could not tolerate anyone challenging his authority.
So he came up with another plan. He asked his trusted men to rush to Lucheng and threaten Su Yuwan with Mr. Su's life to force her to divorce him voluntarily. When Su Yuwan refused, they beat Mr. Su. Mr. Su was old, and the man in charge accidentally beat him to death. So they decided to go all the way and burn down the entire Su family's house.
This way, there will be no evidence and no one can do anything to them.
The magistrate was under pressure from Duke Rong, so naturally he did not dare to tell the truth. After the pressure was put on him, the matter was left unresolved. It was just a small wealthy family, so it was dead. The mountains in Yundu are high and the roads are long, so who would ask about it?
Duke Rong's original intention was to force Su Yuwan to initiate a divorce, so that Liang Changjin would not be able to say anything and he could vent his anger.
But they never expected that Jingwei's people would interfere. They mixed in and disguised themselves as men, took the opportunity to kill Master Su and wipe out the entire Su family, intensified the conflict between Liang Changjin and Duke Rong, and made the hatred-filled Liang Changjin be used by them, becoming a sharp knife to chop at the prince.
This huge net almost caught them all.
Rong Heqing couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
She suddenly thought of a key point and turned to ask, "What happened next? How did you know about the Su family tragedy? And how did you get together with Chen Zhining?"
The long narration made Liang Changjin's voice a little hoarse, and there was no fluctuation on his face, as if these things had been replayed in his mind thousands of times and he had long been numb.
"Duke Rong told me. I was worried about Yu Wan and was afraid that he would cause trouble for them in anger, so I wanted to find an opportunity to go back to Lucheng. However, I had just taken office and had no free time. I was busy for a while. I finally waited for the day off and was ready to go back. As soon as I left the house, I was invited by Duke Rong."
"Please" sounded too nice, as he was driven over by seven or eight servants.
When they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, the Rongguo Duke told him about the fire in the Su family and that all the members of the Su family were burned in the fire, and asked him to mourn.
Liang Changjin didn't believe it and said that Duke Rong had lied to him. Duke Rong looked at him with pity and said, "If you don't believe it, go back and take a look."
He sent twenty guards to escort Liang Changjin back to Qingshan Town, Lucheng. At that time, the Su family was already in ruins.
Liang Changjin collapsed on the spot. He knelt in front of the ruins without saying a word, and did not even cry as expected.
He just knelt there, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted. Then he went to ask the people around him, but no one could explain what was going on. He went to ask the county magistrate, but the county magistrate also hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
The twenty guards were constantly monitoring Liang Changjin. Whenever he returned to Yundu and wanted to contact anyone, he would be stopped. He tried to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to file a complaint at Yundu Mansion, but they broke his legs and dragged him to the Mansion of Duke Rong.
Duke Rong locked the man in the woodshed and asked him to choose between death or marrying his daughter.
Liang Changjin didn't say a word, so he was beaten half to death and couldn't get out of bed.
Later, it was only because Chen Zhining came to plead for him that he was able to save his life.
He stayed in bed at home for a whole month. At first, he had a high fever that wouldn't go away and became confused. During that time, he thought he was going to die. But at a certain time, someone would come in and give him medicine, and dying became a luxury for him.
Liang Changjin laughed at himself, his smile full of bitterness, "During that time, my dreams were all about fire, endless fire, but I never dreamed of Yuwan. I thought she resented me and hated me, and refused to come into my dreams."
He turned around and glanced at the tightly closed door of the Zen room, and finally a ripple of tenderness appeared in his eyes. "It was not until today that I realized that it was because she was still alive and she was trying hard to find me."
"When I got better and was finally able to get out of bed, someone suddenly came to me."
"Is she a girl?" Rong Heqing's eyes narrowed, "Have you great martial arts skills?"
Liang Changjin nodded, "When the people of Duke Rong saw that I could eat, they thought I no longer had the will to die, and they were not so strict with me. That's when she came at night and asked me if I wanted revenge. If I didn't, she would stab me and let me die more easily. If I did, she would give me a chance."
Liang Changjin looked at his hands and said, "If I can get revenge, I certainly don't want to die. I want to see the Rong family go to hell with my own eyes. I want them to pay for the lives of the Su family."
"How can she help you?"
"She said that Duke Rong has an account book that records the bribes and favors he received. As long as I get that account book and put something in their house, I can overthrow the crown prince and the queen in one fell swoop, and Duke Rong will never be able to stand up again."
Liang Changjin clenched his fists. "For this reason, I humbled myself and went to the Rongguo Mansion to apologize as soon as my injury healed. I said that I had thought it through and was willing to marry the young lady. I used this to gain the trust of the Rongguo Duke little by little."
Rong Heqing seemed to be thinking about something. "Their people couldn't get into the Rongguo Mansion, so they came to you. What did they ask you to release?"
Liang Changjin looked at her with a serious look, and said word by word: "Villain."
"What?!" Rong Heqing was stunned, "The kind of little person who pricks people with needles?"
Liang Changjin nodded, "Yes, it says your Majesty's date of birth."
Rong Heqing was shocked, then suddenly realized.
All the threads were strung together in her mind.
What a big drama with subtle clues!
