Chapter 339 - 202 - It Really Is Him_1
After hearing Liang Zechong’s words, Old Lady Liang pondered for a while and said, "The Emperor is wise, and his dragon constitution is healthy, and the Young Prince is still very young. With such a long time ahead, the Emperor might come to understand the crux of the matter." Then, with a probing tone, she asked Liang Zechong, "Nine years ago, the Emperor hinted to our Liang family and Zhao family that he hoped that after the Young Prince left the monastic life, both families would protect him and ensure his smooth succession. But now it seems, from what my son suggests, that even the Master believes he is not suitable to leave monastic life and take that position. So, what should our Liang family do in the future..."
Liang Zechong replied, "Although the Emperor relies on our Liang family in many matters, he is also wary of us, and he is even less willing to let us get too close to any prince, including the Former Crown Prince... My father said before he passed away that the Liang family should not privately take sides. Whomever the Emperor wants us to protect, we will protect. The Crown Prince met with misfortune, leaving behind his only bloodline. Out of no choice, the Emperor entrusted the Young Prince to Master Beikong through my father and Master Hongzhi, hoping that the Young Prince could grow up safely, come back, and inherit the great reign. But in the past six months, I have been reflecting on the Master’s words, and I have a premonition that the Young Prince will definitely not fulfill the Emperor’s wishes... So, the one who might very likely inherit the great reign in the future may be this person—"
He dipped his finger in the water from the teacup and wrote a large character on the kang table—Ning.
Upon seeing this character, Old Lady Liang’s expression became stern and she said, "On the surface, he is the least likely at the moment."
Liang Yiqian added, "Although his maternal and Yue families are not prominent, he truly has some real talent and can win people’s hearts. To my knowledge, his prestige in the military is quite high, and many soldiers admire him and are even willing to obey his commands..."
After arriving in the Capital City, Qian Yixiu had not gone out to play for even a day, spending every day preparing for the opening of the Liancourt Boutique.
She also didn’t go to Liang Mansion to pay respect to the corporate leaders, thinking that uncle Liang and his two grandchildren had stayed in Ji’an for nearly a year and must have lots of things to handle after returning to the mansion. Besides, she had entrusted Uncle Liang with gifts for the ladies of the Liang family.
She had long inquired about the family members of the Liang Mansion. Among the aristocratic families in the Capital City, the Liang family was known for its simplicity, the most senior being Old Lady Liang, who had two sons.
The eldest son, Liang Zechong, and his wife, Madam Liang, Song.
