Chapter 497 - 495: Having an Idea in Mind
Madam Liang took a sip of tea and first glared at Liang Qiyuan, "It took us mother and daughter several days to travel here, and to think, getting a warm cup of tea at your place is so difficult."
Liang Qiyuan said uncomfortably, "You know your brother, I’ve never been much of a schemer. Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t hold a grudge?"
Lady Liu tried to smooth things over for her husband and changed the subject, "How many people did Big Sister bring? I will have someone arrange accommodations."
Madam Liang shook her head, "No need, my lord had already sent people over a day earlier to rent a small inn in the county city. Your place is indeed not spacious, it’s better we stay at the inn."
Weren’t you not angry anymore? Lady Liu felt a bit at a loss, casting a pleading look at Liang Qiyuan.
Liang Qiyuan immediately became frantic, "Big Sister, what do you mean by this? We are siblings from the same womb, and as a brother, I only misspoke a few words, yet you hold it against me. Are you still holding a grudge against what I said earlier, planning to stay at Magistrate Hao’s Residence under false pretenses, but telling me you would stay at an inn?"
"What are you saying?" snapped Madam Liang, "If I were to be unrelenting, why would I make the trip here at all? This time, I brought over twenty people; can your place accommodate us all? You should manage the property well and save up silver to buy back our mansion. When that time comes, I won’t go anywhere else; I’ll stay in the Liang Residence. The inn is not far from here, and it was chosen for the sake of convenience."
Seeing his elder sister get angry, and thinking of the future need to rely on her and his brother-in-law, Liang Qiyuan could only droop and kept silent.
