Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Brother hopes that on the fifteenth of August, he can personally see Shuang'er adorn herself in red and don her wedding gown. Brother also wants to give Shuang'er a surprise."
Xiao Qing was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "As you wish."
The four imperial advisors watched Liang Xiao's retreating figure with strange expressions.
Until Liang Xiao disappeared from sight, the imperial study fell into deathly silence.
After a long while, Xiao Qing pouted, "You all quickly, quickly think of a way to bully him. He, he, he, he's getting naughtier and naughtier, I want to bully him back!"
At this moment, Xiao Qing was like a little girl seeking help from her elders, and the four of them couldn't help but smile wryly.
Jian Qinwan sat in her room, her fingers intertwined, even her knuckles turning white.
She wanted to confess to Luo Qingxue about her and Liang Xiao, but at this moment, she realized how inadequate her words were, not even knowing where to begin!
Zhuo Xun and Luo Qingxue hit it off immediately, chatting joyfully, even discussing calligraphy and painting. Jian Qinwan felt utterly useless.
"Is Sister Qinwan unhappy?" Zhen Mi asked with concern.
"No..." Jian Qinwan seemed to be talking to herself.
Zhen Mi had a sudden inspiration and hugged Jian Qinwan's arm, acting spoiled, "Then Sister Qinwan, tell Mi'er about Brother Xiao's experiences in Jiangnan."
Just as Jian Qinwan was about to agree, Liang Xiao's voice came from outside, "Bodhisattva, Mi'er!"
The two immediately perked up and ran out, finding Luo Qingxue, Yue Lian, Zhuo Xun, and Christia behind Liang Xiao.
"Bodhisattva, why are you staying in the room?" Liang Xiao pulled Jian Qinwan over.
Jian Qinwan looked deeply at Liang Xiao, instantly gaining courage. She walked towards Luo Qingxue and said, "Wicked disciple, you are his fiancée, and Princess Ningshuang is not here. Your master should confess to you..."
Luo Qingxue was stunned, "Confess what? You got married to him on Tianqin Mountain? Sleeping in the same bed every day?"
"You, how do you know?!" Jian Qinwan exclaimed.
"It's no big deal. I've been communicating with Qingxue through letters and told her everything," Liang Xiao pouted.
Over the past six months, Luo Qingxue had managed Liang Xiao's household affairs perfectly, earning the respect of everyone in the mansion and maintaining correspondence with Liang Xiao.
Jian Qinwan almost fainted. She forced herself to walk in front of Luo Qingxue, lowered her head, and said, "How you wish to punish or scold your master, I have no objections..."
"This..." Luo Qingxue became a little flustered instead.
Liang Xiao looked at Yue Lian with anticipation, "Yue Lian, tell Bodhisattva the truth about the Heavenly Crystal."
Yue Lian said softly, "Sister Qinwan, the Heavenly Crystal was given to you by Young Master... ah! By my husband as a gift..."
Christia, the original owner of the Heavenly Crystal, nodded, "I can confirm this."
Jian Qinwan was struck as if by lightning, staring blankly at Luo Qingxue in disbelief.
She knew her own mother had sent her to be Liang Xiao's wife or concubine, and that she might compete with Luo Qingxue for favor. Yet, Luo Qingxue...
Luo Qingxue also lowered her head, "You deserve him more than I do. Moreover, I was foolish and impulsive once and wanted to break off the engagement. I am ashamed of him in this life, but you never used your status to pressure me. I am very grateful..."
Hearing this, Liang Xiao held Luo Qingxue's hand and sighed, "How have you ever wronged me? You merely wished for your husband to soar, and I merely disappointed you!"
Back then, when he had just gotten familiar with this world, he had held back from his grandfather and Yue Lian, and still kept secrets from Liang Qing. How could he have been fully open with his fiancée? By chance, misunderstandings deepened. For his own and his family's safety, he hadn't considered Luo Qingxue's feelings.
Jian Qinwan looked at Luo Qingxue, who appeared dejected. After a moment of stunned silence, two lines of tears streamed down her face. She stepped forward and hugged Luo Qingxue, "Good sister!!"
Luo Qingxue finally felt a sense of relief and hugged Jian Qinwan tightly.
She called herself sister, which meant she truly accepted her!
Watching the two young women hugging and weeping, Liang Xiao felt gratified, but his expression soon changed.
"This!" Liang Xiao's pupils contracted.
The only Bodhisattva who rivaled Luo Qingxue had also been captured by her?
"My Yue Lian?" Liang Xiao quickly looked at Yue Lian.
She was the most well-behaved and considerate. Would she embrace me?
Unexpectedly, Yue Lian and Zhuo Xun walked over one after another, hugging the weeping pair. Even Zhen Mi hugged Luo Qingxue's leg.
Only Christia remained in place. But she loved General Tian, and now he was Marquis Anguo, Liang Xiao!
However, Liang Xiao could imagine that if Christia discovered his identity later, she would probably not escape Luo Qingxue's grasp...
Liang Xiao was left alone, in a daze in the wind.
The situation was overwhelmingly favorable... It was over! It was all over!
Do I really have to fight Luo Qingxue for women?
No! I must quickly think of a way to make them all embrace their husband!
Liang Xiao suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and said with a serious expression, "Today is the day for you sisters to reunite. How about your husband tells you a story, 'The Legend of the Mountain Village Corpse' Part Two? Come, it's darker outside, the room has better light."
Two quarters of an hour later, in the sealed room, the girls screamed in terror, one after another hugging the person with a hypocritical demeanor.
Even Christia was scared to tears and hugged Yue Lian tightly, her eyelashes trembling.
Meanwhile, Liang Qing and Luo Changfeng had just arrived outside and heard the screams, petrifying on the spot.
Dusk had fallen, the room door was locked, why weren't they even lighting candles?
How many girls was Xiao'er with inside...
Luo Qingxue was already pale with fear, trembling, "Husband is so amazing, he can do anything. My heart is about to leap out of my chest!"
Liang Qing and Luo Changfeng outside the room's pupils contracted!
What lewd words were these...
Liang Xiao smiled with relief and began to comfort everyone.
Fortunately, the situation was under control!
The elders couldn't hold back any longer. After things quieted down inside, they knocked on the door, "Xiao'er..."
Only then did Liang Xiao come out, meeting the elders, "Grandpa, Grandpa Luo!"
Liang Qing looked at his grandson, his expression a mixture of worry and relief. He sighed, "Xiao'er, although you are still young, you should at least exercise some restraint..."
Hearing this, Liang Xiao frowned and pouted, "It's fine. I'm training them to know who their husband is!"
Training??
The elders almost suffocated!
"Xiao'er, they are all young, Mi'er is also inside, how could you..." Luo Changfeng exclaimed in horror.
Liang Xiao looked depressed, "I was just telling them ghost stories. What were you thinking?"
Hearing this, Liang Qing and Luo Changfeng suddenly understood, their old faces flushed red. They took Liang Xiao to the main hall.
"Marquis!"
Yue Qingtian and Liu Fan had been waiting there for a long time and immediately reported the recent situation in Yanzhou to Liang Xiao.
Over the past six months, because Liang Xiao had not collected taxes and had often opened granaries for relief, the lives of the people in Anxi County had greatly improved, and they regarded Liang Xiao as a deity.
The training of the Qingtian Guard was also progressing well, gradually approaching the Great Gan Iron Guard and surpassing ordinary elite soldiers!
Yue Qingtian rubbed the back of his head and laughed heartily, "Everyone is eager to fly to the capital and show the Marquis the training results!"
Liang Xiao looked at Yue Qingtian with surprise, "Qingtian, your speech has also improved greatly?"
"I read and study every day. I will be the Marquis's personal guard in the future and dare not disgrace the Marquis!" Yue Qingtian said proudly, smiling even more happily. However, due to his naturally fierce appearance, he looked like a smiling tiger when he laughed, which was quite terrifying.
After Yue Qingtian and Liu Fan went to rest, Zuo Wushang, who had disguised himself as "Liang Ke," finally arrived.
Liang Xiao anxiously asked, "Do you have any news from Zuo Wuji's side?"
