Chapter 755 - 364 Venting Anger_2
With that thought, he released her and stood up, drawing out a silk handkerchief to wipe his hands as he said coldly, "I, Liang Yiqian, am not so despicable as to strike women. Leave, I do not wish to see you again."
Lady Lian crawled over again and clung to his legs, crying, "Master, although I did use you, my admiration for you is genuine...truly."
Duke Liang kicked her away with his foot and coldly said once more, "Leave!" Then, tossing aside the silk handkerchief, he turned and went back to the bedroom.
Lady Lian lay sobbing on the ground, until Maternal Aunt Qin, who had been by the door of the hall, came in, helped Lady Lian up, and said, "Sister Lian, the Master is still in a rage right now; it’s best you leave for now and not further provoke his annoyance." She added in a hushed tone, "Once the Master’s anger has subsided, you can come back and apologize."
Lady Lian, still crying, bent down to pick up Duke Liang’s silk handkerchief, covered her face, and left.
After Lady Lian had departed, Maternal Aunt Qin covered her mouth with the handkerchief and silently chuckled before she picked up the food box and carried it into the bedroom. It wasn’t long before sounds of smashing bowls and dishes came from the bedroom, followed by Maternal Aunt Qin rushing out with red-rimmed eyes.
Sister Huang covered her own mouth with the handkerchief and laughed softly before she led the young maids into the room to tidy up.
When Lady Cui and Liang Jinzhao returned, Sister Huang reported in a low voice, "Madam, the Master Duke has just been angry, and he hasn’t eaten yet."
Liang Jinzhao said, "Have the small kitchen prepare a few dishes to accompany the drinks; I want to share a few cups with my father."
Lady Cui nodded and instructed the servants, "Go ahead."
Liang Jinzhao went alone to the eastern chamber. He didn’t enter the bedroom but stood at the doorway, saying, "Father, the imperial decree appointing your son has come down. His Majesty the Emperor said he will also bestow on you the position of Deputy Admiral of the Navy at the rank of Third Rank, with the decree to follow in a few days. Everything is ready, and we will be able to set off in February. The old ancestors and grandfather all say that it’s a rare opportunity for you, Father. If well grasped, certainly you will be utilized by His Majesty the Emperor once again... Father, with father and son on the battlefield, we will definitely establish the strongest navy in history."
As soon as Liang Jinzhao finished speaking, Duke Liang emerged from the bedroom.
