The sky was dark and drizzling.
At the door of Mo Study, Yan Shu looked at the continuous rain and was worried. She didn't bring an umbrella when she went out, and the carriage at home was broken. She didn't take the carriage today.
My brother will not take a bath today and will not come back from the Imperial College. Dad is not here either. There was a letter from his hometown saying that grandpa was sick, so he went back. As for my mother, she is twin now and cannot come out to give her an umbrella.
If the rain didn't stop, she would have no choice but to run back in the rain.
"Didn't your carriage come to pick you up today?"
A voice came from the rain. Liang Maoxing jumped off the carriage and ran to her in a few steps, "Get in the carriage and I'll take you back."
Yan Shu took two steps to the side, put a little distance away from him, and said in a cold tone, "No need."
Since meeting him once before, Yan Shu found that she would meet him every time she went out. Although he was not as abrupt as when they first met, the impression of him as a deceitful disciple had already remained in Yan Shu's heart, so she never had a good impression of him.
"This rain won't stop for a while, and it's getting late. You'd better take my car back first." Liang Maoxing advised.
Yan Shu was very wary of him and dared not ride in his carriage, so she refused again.
Liang Maoxing felt bitter, why did he leave such an impression on others the first time they met? So much so that now she is so defensive about herself.
He thought for a moment, turned around and ran back to the carriage.
Yan Shu thought he was finally gone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next moment she saw the man running back in the rain, holding an umbrella in his hand.
"for you!"
He opened the umbrella, raised it in front of her, and handed it to her without any explanation.
Yan Shu wanted to refuse, but he stuffed the umbrella and ran away immediately. She couldn't return it even if she wanted to.
"Go back quickly."
he shouted to her in the rain.
Yan Shu was silent for a while, but still did not throw away the umbrella in her hand.
She held an umbrella and hurried home.
The sky was getting darker and darker, most houses had closed their doors and turned on their lights, and the streets were almost deserted.
"Hey, little lady, why are you alone?"
While walking through an alley, Yan Shu was suddenly stopped by a strange man.
He stood in front of Yan Shu with ill intentions and looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Yan Shu looked back and forth. There was no one in the alley at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel panicked.
She didn't expect that someone at the emperor's feet would dare to act so boldly!
"It just so happens that my brother is also alone. This little lady is here to keep him company."
As the man spoke, he stretched out a hand and touched her face.
Yan Shu took a step back in panic and even dropped her umbrella to the ground.
The man smiled evilly and stepped forward, reaching out both hands to grab her.
However, the next moment, his hand was caught by an iron palm inserted diagonally. He pulled it back and there was a "click", and the man immediately let out a scream.
Liang Maoxing's face was gloomy and terrifying. Not only did he cripple the opponent's arm, he also kicked the person away. The person rolled on the ground several times before he stopped.
Passed out on the spot.
Liang Maoxing's eyes flashed with sternness, and he coldly ordered his men, "Destroy him."
Then he picked up the umbrella that Yan Shu had dropped and blocked her view.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Yan Shu came to her senses at this time and couldn't help but feel frightened for a while, but she didn't refuse his kindness anymore.
They walked far away, and Yan Shu heard the man scream like a slaughtering pig.
It was so scary on a cold rainy night.
"How did you appear so promptly? Have you been following me?"
Her heart was filled with fear and confusion. She had not yet come out of her previous emotions, so she could only say something to calm herself down.
"Yes, it's too late. I'm not worried about you going back alone." Liang Maoxing looked at her face carefully, for fear that she would be offended.
But Yan Shu didn't expect this at all at this time. She said, "Thank you very much. Fortunately, you came in time."
Liang Maoxing was flattered, "You don't have to be polite to me, just don't blame me for following you secretly."
Only then did Yan Shu realize the problem, but she didn't know if he should be blamed. If he hadn't followed, she wouldn't have known what she would have encountered today.
"Forget it, I won't do it next time."
Liang Maoxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he became happy again, and their relationship finally eased a bit!
"Concubine, you don't need to find a daughter-in-law for your son. Your son already has someone he likes!" Liang Maoxing returned to the palace and said to Concubine Shu happily.
Today, his relationship with Yan Shu has taken a step forward, so it’s time to prepare for their marriage!
"Do you have someone you like? Which girl is it from?" Concubine Shu asked quickly.
"My son doesn't know either. He fell in love with her at first sight on the street, and he hasn't found her yet." Liang Maoxing knew his mother's requirements for his future imperial concubine. If his family background was too high, other brothers would be afraid of him; if his family background was too low, he would be jealous of her. He was of no help. Therefore, whether her family background is high or low, it is best to be the eldest daughter, so that she can support the palace for him.
Yan Shu's background obviously did not meet her requirements.
So he doesn't dare to say directly that he likes Yan Shu yet, so he can only do it step by step.
"Oh, it's love at first sight. How does this girl look like? The mother-in-law needs to take a closer look. Do you need the mother-in-law to ask the girls of the right age from various houses in the capital to submit portraits to help you look for them?"
Liang Mao Do you think so? They definitely won’t think twice about their son marrying this commoner girl!”
Concubine Shu was so angry that she fell back and said, "I asked you to marry someone with a slightly inferior family background, but I didn't let you get this bad! Since ancient times, the royal family has never married ordinary people! If you like it, take it back and become a Just be a concubine, don’t even think about marrying her as your wife.”
"I don't care, my son just likes her anyway and won't marry anyone but her! And only her!" Liang Maoxing said firmly.
Concubine Shu almost fainted from anger and pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You, you, you have to make me angry to death! Why did I give birth to such an evil obstacle like you!"
Liang Maoxing leaned forward with a playful smile, "Concubine, you're not good at this evil thing like me. Then my son will marry your daughter-in-law back to you and give you a grandson as soon as possible. Can you have sex again?"
Concubine Shu's tense expression instantly faded away, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I can't even treat you well, so why don't I have a grandson? Don't give me a playful smile. There is no way to fool this matter!"
"That's okay if there is a window."
However, no matter what he said, Concubine Shu would firmly disagree.
Liang Maoxing was dejected and left with a look of despair.
It was the first time that Concubine Shu saw him in such discomfort, and her thoughts in her heart could not help but be shaken. But only for a moment, he became determined again. This matter was not negotiable and could not be decided according to his temper. Having to marry a commoner's daughter was a matter of royal dignity. Even if she agreed, the emperor would not be able to pass the test. So she must never let him commit this stupidity.
Yan Qing sensed that his sister seemed to be in danger at the Imperial Academy, and immediately teleported over in panic, and then saw Liang Maoxing saving her. That's why he didn't show his figure.
In order to deal with Song Fubao's luck in this life, he practiced cultivation magic. Then he put marks on his parents and sister, so that he could sense them whenever they were in danger.
He was trying to prevent the force majeure in the original work, where his sister was raped by bandits and his parents lost their legs and the other was blind. According to the previous world, even though he has changed many things, such important plot points will occasionally appear in another way. So he had to be careful.
But what I didn't expect was that in addition to these important plot points, there would be other dangers encountered.
Fortunately, the boy Liang Maoxing showed up in time, and it was the first time that Yan Qing saw such a ruthless side of him. Also, even if the people in the royal family are silly, they will not be ordinary silly. Under the influence of ears and eyes, there will always be some tricks.
This incident also reminded Yan Qing that it was time to equip his family with some guards. Before, he thought that his identity was just an Imperial College student, and his family had just moved from the countryside, so he didn't want to show off too much.
But now it’s no longer possible if we don’t recruit.
In addition to my sister's safety, my mother is now pregnant and needs care.
Speaking of which, Yan Qing's mother's pregnancy also solved one of her worries.
He had secretly used spiritual spring water to recuperate his family members' bodies a long time ago, hoping that they would have another child. My father and mother are only in their thirties and are still very young. It is not impossible to have another child.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to leave a child for them, so if his mother could have another son, it would be easier for them to accept his not getting married.
