Chapter 76: Infatuation - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 76: Infatuation

In the Liang family, Liang Luo's courtyard.

Snowball, scratched all over, lay on the beauty bed howling. Its fur around the wounds had been shaved and treated, now bandaged like a zongzi, far from its previous stunning appearance.

"Damn it, damn it, they all deserve to die!"

As soon as she spoke, Liang Luo smashed a set of celadon porcelain tea cups on the table into pieces.

The maidservants nearby all held their breaths, afraid that any movement would provoke their mistress's wrath and incur punishment.

Liang Luo's eyes were crimson as she stared at Snowball, the fire in her heart igniting again and again, causing her whole body to ache.

"Xu Mingyue, Feng Jinyao, and Bai Siruo, all of you wait for me! If I don't crush your bones and turn you to ashes, my name Liang will be written backwards!"

Just as Liang Gongzi returned from outside, maid Jin Xiu came to report that Miss was raging in the courtyard.

Frowning curiously, he asked, "Wasn't she supposed to be at Fahua Temple offering incense with Lan'er? How did she come back so soon?"

Normally she would be gone for most of the day, but today she returned before lunchtime, which was quite unusual.

Jin Xiu then exaggeratedly recounted everything that happened at Fahua Temple, tearfully saying, "Master didn't see Miss Xu like that, acting as if she could devour us alive. She said things that even cursed our deceased mistress. Poor Miss only got into a conflict with them because of that."

Liang Gongzi squinted at the maid, somewhat skeptical of her words.

Although he had broken off his engagement with Xu Mingyue, he had seen Xu Mingyue several times before. How could such a pure and unmatched woman say such things?

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What did my sister do to make her so angry?"

Jin Xiu was surprised that her young master was siding with outsiders instead of his own family, showing astonishment in her eyes.

"Honestly, if I find out you're spreading rumors in the middle of this, I'll bury you alive."

These words frightened the maid, who immediately knelt down, not daring to act rashly.

She then truthfully explained the whole story without fabricating any details.

After listening to her account, Liang Gongzi sighed deeply. Although he still occasionally socialized with his friends over drinks as he did before, he could clearly sense that he was no longer as pleasing as he used to be.

As for this marriage proposal with the Wei family, it was his wish, something he and Wei Lanxuan had sought together.

Father was pleased, sister was happy, but only he felt guilty towards the Xu family.

Therefore, when it came to matters involving the Xu family, he would yield and never act as arrogantly as his sister did.

It's no wonder Xu Mingyue would say such things. His sister had been spoiled for too long and had forgotten her own identity and the status of the Liang family.

"Come, let's go and see."

When the two arrived at the small courtyard, Liang Luo was still swearing loudly. The sound of the porcelain breaking scared a maid who had just arrived not long ago, and the maid burst into tears.

As a result, Liang Luo slapped the maid twice without mercy, leaving her face swollen.

Not stopping there, she grabbed the maid's chin tightly, fiercely saying, "How dare you disrespect me too? You're asking for death! Bring me a whip, today I'll whip this maid to vent my anger!"

Seeing her behaving like a madwoman, Liang Gongzi stepped forward and reprimanded her.

"Sister, what are you doing!"

Seeing that it was her brother who had come, Liang Luo slightly restrained her temper, released the maid's chin, and looked at her with disdain, as if she were looking at a stray dog on the street.

"Big brother, why did you come?"

"If I don't come again, all the maids in the courtyard will probably be scared to death by you. If this matter spreads and tarnishes your reputation for mistreating servants, I wonder which family would dare to take you in?"

Liang Gongzi and Liang Luo's birth mother had passed away early, and their father, for the sake of Lord Changyi's influence, had not remarried. There were only two favored concubines in the back courtyard, but they had not borne any children for so many years.

With no mother in charge at home, she had been pampered since childhood, which had led to her intolerant temperament.

Since the previous days, the father and son of the Liang family had taken on the responsibility of discussing marriage for her. Unfortunately, they had chosen several times and none were suitable, but they had coincidentally reached out to the Duke of Wei, and with him, they would be able to marry into a noble family.

Who knew that because of Liang Gongzi and Wei Lanxuan's marriage, the Duke of Wei now saw a gap between them. Liang Luo wanted to find a good family, and it would be difficult in a short time.

"Humph, I don't like those young gentlemen."

"Do you like someone from the imperial family or nobility?"

After hearing Liang Gongzi's words, Liang Luo lost her previous anger and her face showed a bit of shy daughter's shyness.

Seeing her like this, Liang Gongzi felt bad, but still remained calm on the surface. He ordered the maidservants to leave, and even Jin Xiu took Snowball away when she left.

"Tell me, who do you like?" When there was no one around, Liang Gongzi asked in a low voice.

Liang Luo was straightforward and said directly, "The Ninth Prince. Brother, I've liked the Ninth Prince for a long time."

After hearing her words, Liang Gongzi was shocked and panicked, quickly stepping forward to cover her mouth, his eyes full of confusion.

"You're asking for death. You know the relationship between the Wei family and the Ninth Prince. Our engagement with Lan'er has already angered the Ninth Prince. Fortunately, he didn't blame us. Otherwise, your brother's life might be in danger now. At this critical moment, you still want to join in the fun?"

Liang Luo pushed away Liang Gongzi's hand covering her mouth, her eyebrows showing displeasure.

"Just because you can secretly be with Sister-in-law, why can't I secretly like the Ninth Prince?"

"You..." Liang Gongzi was about to slap her, but Liang Luo directly stretched out her face, "Hit me, hit me. Don't you remember how Mother entrusted me to you before she died?"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, stubbornly staring at Liang Gongzi.

Liang Gongzi sighed and couldn't bring himself to do it, so he had to comfort her.

"Sister, our engagement with Lan'er was purely accidental. If not for this, your sister-in-law would only be Miss Xu, and Lan'er would be the Ninth Prince's consort. Not to mention whether the Ninth Prince would fancy you, with our status in the Liang family, could the Ninth Prince marry you as his principal wife? Would His Majesty and the Empress Dowager agree? Would the Wei family agree?"

These words were heartfelt, and Liang Luo couldn't help but realize it, sitting on the stool and crying non-stop.

"You can't become his principal wife, maybe just a concubine. Are you really willing? Even if you are willing, would the future principal wife of the Ninth Prince accept you? Have you thought about these things?"

Although Liang Gongzi couldn't bear it, he had to speak the truth, fearing that his sister would take a wrong step and end up with an unhappy ending. Then he would fail to fulfill his mother's entrustment.

"But brother, you're about to marry the Wei family sister-in-law, and Father's career will also benefit at that time. Will you help me? Maybe, maybe I can still win the favor of the Wei Empress, and by then, identity won't matter."

Liang Luo rambled on, her appearance completely different from her usual arrogance.
