The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

"You don't have to worry about that! With the friendship between our two families, we will naturally take good care of Xiuyuan when the time comes."

"If you're worried, I can still adopt her as my granddaughter. But my family is also guilty, and I'm afraid that she will be wronged."

Old Lady Xiao said with a smile before Old Master Liang could speak.

She looked sincere and didn't seem to be pretending.

Granddaughter?

Old Master Liang was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted and his heart sank.

They are all smart people, how could they not understand what the other party means.

It seems that the Xiao family is unwilling to marry Liang Xiuyuan.

Old Master Liang was shocked and angry, and then he felt sad from the bottom of his heart.

He discussed with his granddaughter for a long time and thought of everything, but the Xiao family was unwilling.

Old Lady Xiao even said such words, which shows her firm attitude.

If he continues to insist, it will only hurt the last bit of affection between the two families.

Marriage is a union of two families. Since the Xiao family is unwilling, the Liang family cannot force them.

Old Master Liang has been immersed in officialdom for many years and is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

He immediately understood the situation.

Even if they had not been exiled, their family was still that of a third-rank official, and they could not force Xiao Beiwang, let alone now.

Old Master Liang thought that his granddaughter would never be destined to be with the Xiao family.

So he didn't mention it anymore.

Just say that this is a good idea, and then Liang Xiuyuan will ask Old Lady Xiao to take care of her.

Then the two talked for a while, and Liang Xiuyuan and the others came back.

Also coming was Old Man Tao.

When Old Lady Xiao saw him, she was a little surprised.

"It's you who's here. Sorry to trouble you!"

Old Lady Xiao said politely.

Old man Tao waved his hand indifferently.

"An Sheng is too busy. He was invited by the Song family in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

"I heard that you sent someone to invite me, so I made this trip."

Old man Tao explained casually.

Old Madam Xiao glanced at Liang Xiuyuan.

Liang Xiuyuan hid behind Xiao Beiyun and shuddered.

Oh no, how could she forget this!

What she said in the Xiao family tent before was that Doctor Yu was unwilling to come over to see the patient, which must be because he was bothered by the way she treated Shuxin before.

But now the old man said this, which immediately exposed her lie.

damn it!

She cursed inwardly.

She wanted to explain, but saw Old Lady Xiao looking at her with a cold look in her eyes.

Liang Xiuyuan seemed to have her thoughts seen through and became a little panicked for a moment.

However, Old Lady Xiao just glanced at her and turned her head away, without getting angry with her on the spot.

Liang Xiuyuan was feeling nervous, not knowing how the conversation between her grandfather and Old Lady Xiao went.

She thought that she had to speed up the process anyway. She had to marry Xiao Beiwang before arriving in Nanzhou.

Old Man Tao quickly examined Old Master Liang.

"Brother Liang, you have a cold and fever. Plus, you've been running around for days and overworked, so your body is seriously depleted."

Old Man Tao said to everyone.

The three Liang brothers also came.

"Then is my father's life in danger?"

Upon seeing this, Mr. Liang asked another question.

There was no worry on his face, but rather some anxiety.

When Old Lady Xiao saw this scene, she sighed in her heart.

But this is the Liang family's family affair after all, and outsiders like them should not interfere too much.

Liang Xiuyuan bit her lip, looking a little embarrassed.

She knew what her father was thinking, so she was so anxious to marry into the Xiao family as soon as possible.

Old man Tao glanced at Mr. Liang with a look of displeasure on his face.

"What do you mean by worrying about one's life? When people get old, their bodies are not as good as before, so they cannot afford to get sick. Just take good care of yourself."

This statement was an accusation to the Liang family for not taking good care of Old Master Liang.

But what this means is that Old Master Liang is indeed not in danger of his life, he will just be bedridden for a long time.

The eldest master of the Liang family looked a little embarrassed and nodded.

Old Man Tao wrote out a prescription and asked them to take the medicine according to it first.

Once the high fever subsides, I will prescribe a new prescription.

Everyone in the Liang family agreed and sent Old Man Tao away.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Xiao also said goodbye and left with Xiao Beiyun.

Afterwards, only the Liang family members were left in the room.

Mr. Liang seemed to be hesitant to speak.

How could Old Master Liang not know what he was thinking? He just wanted to take out all the money he brought with him.

Old Master Liang had sharp eyes and waved his hand to let everyone else go out, leaving only Liang Xiuyuan.

“Grandfather, what did Old Madam Xiao say?”

Liang Xiuyuan asked impatiently.

Old Master Liang sighed.

He didn't say anything, but his reaction said it all.

Liang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, looking dazed, obviously unable to accept this fact.

"Why? Is it because the old lady doesn't want to, or is it Xiao Beiwang's intention?"

She was in disbelief.

She looked around and found that there were no suitable girls in the Wang family, let alone the Song family.

If Xiao Beiwang wanted to marry a well-educated woman who could manage household chores as his first wife, she would be the most suitable one.

Tao Shuxin, she never took her seriously before.

Could it be that Madam Xiao is interested in Tao Shuxin?

Her expression changed and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces.

"What difference does it make, no matter whose intention it is?"

Old Master Liang sighed and said.

Liang Xiuyuan didn't think so.

"No, if it's just what Old Lady Xiao wants, I still have a chance!"

Liang Xiuyuan said with a determined look.

Her eyes were firm, with a hint of ruthlessness that she herself could hardly detect.

Old Master Liang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He has always favored Liang Xiuyuan more, just because she is the only legitimate granddaughter, and also because Liang Xiuyuan has been smart and studious since childhood.

Even if she is not extremely talented, she is still known as a talented woman.

He often sighed in front of her, it was a pity that Liang Xiuyuan was not a man.

Otherwise, the Liang family would have successors and there would be hope for prosperity.

Perhaps it was because I thought too highly of her that her personality became like this.

Old Master Liang was terrified.

He patted the mattress.

"You, you are obsessed! Get down on your knees!"

Old Master Liang was extremely angry and felt panic for no reason.

He didn't have much time left to live. If he survived, he would be bedridden and useless.

Their Liang family is already not as good as before. If they continue to allow Liang Xiuyuan to remain like this, wouldn't it bring disaster to the family?

He will never allow it!

Liang Xiuyuan was so angry that she knelt down in front of Old Master Liang unwillingly.

Old Master Liang looked at Liang Xiuyuan's unconvinced expression and sighed helplessly.

"I know you are also worried about your family and your own future."

"Don't worry. If I go, I will pave the way for you and won't let your father and brothers send you away at will. When we get to Nanzhou, they will find a suitable family for you."

He also wanted to keep Liang Xiuyuan for a few more years, but because of the exile, she broke off the engagement with the eldest son of the Qin family.

She is already nineteen years old this year and is too old to put it off any longer.

This is also the reason why Liang Xiuyuan is anxious.

As for what Liang Xiuyuan said, Xiao Beiwang will ascend the throne and become emperor in the future.

If you marry him as his legal wife, you will be the queen.

Old Master Liang believed that their Liang family did not have such resources, even though she was now the principal wife.

When Xiao Beiwang really became emperor, Liang Xiuyuan would no longer be able to hold on to her position as queen.

It is possible that the entire Liang family will be dragged into this, and if we are not careful, we will be dead.

I’m afraid that the situation will be worse than it is now, and it’s hard to say whether the Liang family can leave any descendants.

So he didn't want Liang Xiuyuan to continue to get involved.
