Chapter 563 - 289 Two Birds with One Stone_1
In front of her family, Qian Yixiu finally let down her guard and wept sorrowfully in Father Jiang’s arms.
Qian Jiangman was deeply distressed, patting her back and choking with sobs, he said, "It’s all Daddy’s fault. Thinking of your mother’s ill health and your younger siblings being so small, my mind was focused on them, yet I have never paid much attention to you. You were always filial and took care of your younger siblings, so Daddy thought Yixiu was capable and never considered that Yixiu could feel helpless or heartbroken. You are still so young, how could those conscienceless people frame you like this... Tomorrow, Daddy will seek an audience with the Empress Dowager and ask her to do justice for you."
After Yixiu had cried enough, Qian Manjiang sent her back to rest, saying the adults would discuss what to do. She felt extremely tired, particularly emotionally drained, so she nodded and left.
After Yixiu left, the three of them began to speculate who was behind all this.
Qian Manjiang and Pan Yang believed it was the work of Lady Cui, who did not want Qian Yixiu to become her daughter-in-law. Therefore, she sought to ruin Yixiu’s reputation to make the Liang Family despise her.
Prince Consort Pan felt it was not necessarily so. Cui Suying, a woman from the Cui family, who had been astutely groomed by Old Lady Liang for many years, shouldn’t be this foolish. The comments she made before had already displeased the elders of the Liang Mansion, and even if she wanted to harm herself, she wouldn’t dare go this far...
However, whether it was her or not this time, such an unspeakable rumor originated from Lady Cui. Thus, the Liang Mansion must give an explanation to both Qian Yixiu and the Qian family. As for that two-year engagement, having already been so despised, it was better to forget it.
But if it wasn’t her, who else could it be, and why would they do such a thing? Also, how could they eradicate the impact of this incident...
While they were discussing, a Servant reported the arrival of Liang Zechong, Liang Yiqian, and Liang Jinzhao, three generations of the Liang’s lineage.
