"What are you thinking? Sister Liang Mei'er has been locked up! Master, please go rescue Sister Liang Mei'er!" Yan'er pretended to panic, "What should we do? When the lady returns..."
The abrupt silence sometimes has a greater effect.
Sure enough, Yang Bingshan's anger flared, and with a loud bang, the teacups on the table clattered: "That despicable woman from the Wen Family!"
He strode out, while Yan'er slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
In the Wen Family courtyard
With a loud crash, the door was slammed open: "Wen Family, come out!"
A furious roar startled the birds in the trees, causing them to flutter away.
"On what grounds did you lock up Liang Mei'er? What has she done to you? You wicked woman, you haven't changed at all after all these years!" Thinking of the poison that nearly went down Liang Mei'er's throat back then, Yang Bingshan was filled with rage.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the sake of our in-laws, I would have long since divorced you, this heartless woman. What? You really haven't changed at all after half a year in the countryside!"
Wen Family stared blankly at the man in front of her who was spouting nonsense and acting so justifiable.
"Master, what are you talking about? It's been days since we last met. My sister has been a bit lax with her manners lately. I'm just teaching her some rules to avoid embarrassing you when she goes out. Otherwise, if someone like Auntie Concubine becomes arrogant because of your favoritism towards her, it won't look good for you!"
Wen Family smiled gently, her soft words leaving Yang Bingshan speechless.
Her words were all for his consideration, which made Yang Bingshan feel frustrated as he was already somewhat unclear about these matters.
Especially when facing Wen Suling, who looked as radiant as a young girl, Yang Bingshan was momentarily mesmerized.
Until Wen Family's voice came again: "Master, rest assured. Auntie Concubine is just teaching a few rules!"
Yan'er saw how things were unfolding and feared it would get out of hand: "Master, I'm just worried that my sister's health won't hold up. She has had health issues in the past!"
Indeed, it once again brought back memories of Yang Bingshan. Liang Mei'er was frightened by the poisoning incident involving the Wen Family, which led to her premature birth and left her with lingering health issues.
"Enough, enough! Didn't we have no problems before? You're just making a big deal out of nothing. Hurry up and release her! I am the master of this house."
Liang Mei'er's soft and gentle words, filled with warmth from their childhood together, overcame reason.
Ha! Yang Yichen sneered, knowing this would be the outcome; he had seen such dramas many times before.
This father was truly muddled. If it weren't for the century-old foundation of the Yang Family and the support from the Wen Family, how could the Yang Family be as prosperous as it is now? With this peculiar father's mindset, he could at most be a guardian of wealth.
To expand the family’s glory? Ha ha, he lacked the ability for that. It was hard to believe how the Wen Family initially took a liking to this man.
Yang Yichen spoke lightly, "The Provincial Examination is about to take place!"
Yang Bingshan was taken aback by Yang Yichen's abrupt statement, confused about the situation. "Ah? Oh! That matter with Auntie Concubine, you handle it!"
"You all continue your conversation; I’ll take my leave!" Yang Bingshan laughed heartily as he departed.
Yan'er frowned and hurried after him. "Master, Master, Liang Mei'er hasn't been released yet!"
Yang Bingshan turned back and scolded, "Don't bother me with that! Hurry back to your courtyard and don't stir up trouble!"
He strode away joyfully, his back radiating happiness. As for Liang Mei'er? She was merely learning the rules; as his woman, she needed to be able to accompany him and must be obedient.
Although this son talked incessantly, he couldn't help but excel in his studies!
Perhaps he inherited the scholarly genes from the Wen Family; he was now a well-known young scholar in Biqi Town.
Well, even though this father felt embarrassed by his son, outsiders were mostly unaware. He boasted that his son should focus on studying for the Provincial Examination and that it wasn't suitable to host grand banquets right now. After passing, they would definitely hold a lavish celebration.
Alright, the Provincial Examination is indeed approaching, and Yang Yichen, who ranked first in the County Examination, has no problem passing the Provincial Examination.
Thinking about her son passing the Provincial Examination and becoming a Juren brings him unparalleled glory, something that has never happened in the history of the Yang Family for hundreds of years.
Compared to the identity of being a Juren's father and the future appearances of her son at banquets after becoming a Juren, Liang Mei'er pales in comparison.
He walked with increasingly light steps, eager to flaunt in front of his rival Wandehai right now.
As for Yang Bingshan, a man like him only loves himself; he is essentially a heartless, selfish person without any sense of responsibility.
If he had not given up on Liang Mei'er for this small benefit and had instead firmly insisted on letting her go, perhaps Yang Yichen would have thought more highly of him.
Meanwhile, in front of Liang Mei'er stood an elderly woman with gray hair, bowing respectfully.
"Auntie Concubine, what do you need?"
"What is the situation outside? Does the master know?"
"Replying to Auntie Concubine, Seventeenth Concubine went to find the master in his study, and then they went together to the Main Courtyard. However, the master left there and went out!"
Liang Mei'er clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms: "Did he say nothing?"
The old woman fell silent. Liang Mei'er already saw the outcome; she could not believe that Yang Bingshan would give up on her and allow the Wen Family to slap her in the face.
Compared to the Wen Family's dominance, Yang Bingshan's actions hurt her even more. Regardless of what was happening with the Wen Family, the fact remains that Yang Bingshan chose not to let her out.
"Since you disregard our years of affection, then don't blame me!" Liang Mei'er’s eyes flashed with fierce determination; at this moment, the only one who could help her was herself.
Men are never reliable; she realized this fact long ago.
It was clear that the lovers who once shared a bond were now married, but the bride was not her.
At that moment, she vowed to live only for herself and not waste her heart on such a man.
Although her love for Yang Bingshan had turned into hatred, she still could not allow him to fall for someone else, especially not someone who would take the position that rightfully belonged to her as the main wife.
So at that time, when she and the Wen Family were both pregnant, she orchestrated the scene. In fact, the poison in her food was also her doing, merely to clear herself of suspicion.
As for her ultimate goal, naturally, the best outcome would be for the Wen Family to suffer a double tragedy.
Unexpectedly, that woman was fortunate enough to escape disaster.
But it didn't matter; having attempted it once, would she fear trying again? Wen Family, if you stay quietly in your courtyard, I might spare your life. But now you are blocking my way!
"Come here, do this and that," Liang Mei'er cautiously instructed the maid. "Alright, go down now and don't let anyone see!"
She didn't mind replaying the events of the past; she didn't believe that this time the Wen Family would be so lucky.
As for assistance? After the maid quietly left through a side door, she swiftly made her way to a courtyard next to Yang Residence.
At the same time, the Wen Family was busy packing their son's belongings in preparation for the upcoming Provincial Examination.
