While Xu was happy, she was also a little worried and asked Liang Su, "Master, if Shengsheng and Ronghua are registered under Madam's name so suddenly, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

Ronghua is not so bad, as she is only one year old. It can be said that Liang Su was seduced into bed by her after drinking. Afterwards, she became pregnant and gave birth to Ronghua. Lord Liang felt sorry for the child and wanted to give him a name.

after all……

Lord Liang and his wife have been separated for many years, and there has been no son in the house.

Even if the devoted Liang Su occasionally gets into trouble with love affairs, everyone can understand.

But Shengsheng, it’s hard to explain.

Shengsheng is the same age as the eldest daughter Liang Tan, only a few months younger than Liang Tan.

When Shengsheng was born, the lady was still at home.

Everyone knows that the master and the mistress love each other, but if people knew that Shengsheng is also the master's biological daughter, what would they say?

Xu's face was filled with worry. She was a little flustered and looked at Liang Su at a loss: "Master, what should I do..."

Unexpectedly, Liang Su patted Xu's shoulder with a confident look on his face. He had been prepared for this: "Don't worry, I have already prepared for these things."

"I sent a pigeon to Guanshishan a long time ago. This is the reply from my wife."

Liang Su took out a letter from his arms, the seal on the letter still unopened.

He was a little surprised. Liang Su hadn't told her about his letter yet: "You wrote a letter to Guanshishan?"

Liang Su spoke to He respectfully, and he replied, "Yes, mother, in order for Shengsheng and Ronghua to be able to successfully raise the legitimate heir, my son wrote a letter to Guanshi Mountain half a month ago."

Hearing Liang Su's answer, He Shi couldn't tell what emotion she felt. She responded, "Okay. So what's in the letter?"

Xu curled up in Liang Su's arms tenderly, and she also asked in a tender voice: "Yes, Master, what letter did you write to Madam?"

"Of course, let the lady write a letter home."

"Family letter, what family letter?"

He shook the hand holding the letter and said with a proud look on his face, "Let Madam adopt Shengsheng as her goddaughter and take her under her name. To the outside world, she will be called an adopted daughter, but in the Liang Mansion, Shengsheng will enjoy the same rights as legitimate children."

Xu asked, "Adopted daughter? But if she is an adopted daughter, it will be difficult to change her identity in the future."

Xu couldn't help but grumble in her heart.

Shengsheng is their biological daughter. How could they treat Shengsheng unfairly and tell others that she is an adopted daughter?

But on second thought, saying that Shengsheng is an adopted daughter is better than saying that she is the daughter of a concubine.

Thinking of this, Xu finally felt better.

Xu looked at the letter in Liang Su's hand and said, "Master, the letter has not been opened yet."

"Yeah." Liang Su's fingers touched the seal and was about to tear it off when Xu Shengsheng suddenly asked worriedly, "Dad, what if Madam doesn't do as you said... and doesn't adopt me as her adopted daughter?"

"How could that be?" Liang Su tore off the seal, took out the letter inside and unfolded it.

Liang Sucheng looked at the contents of the letter with a heavy heart.

Looking at the contents above, Liang Su thought that his eyes were blurry. He rubbed his eyes and read the contents of the letter again word by word. After reading it again, Liang Su's originally smiling face suddenly collapsed: "How could it be!"

When Xu Shi and Xu Shengsheng heard Liang Su's words, they also curiously leaned over to read the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu and Xu Shengsheng looked at each other at the same time, and then looked at Liang Su's face in disbelief.

Xu's eyes widened, she covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at the letter with the other hand: "Master, this letter from Madam..."

Xu Shengsheng was also confused.

After all, in the plot, Mrs. Liang agreed to adopt her as her goddaughter.

But now something went wrong.

Xu Shengsheng also followed Xu and asked Liang Su: "Yes, Dad, why is the content of this letter like this?"

Liang Su frowned, veins bulged on his hand holding the letter, and he held the letter tightly in his hand.

Seeing their series of surprises, He Shi also felt confused. She handed Xu Ronghua to the nurse behind her and stretched out her hand to Liang Su: "Let me see what's written in the letter."

Liang Su gritted his teeth. He read the contents of the letter again with hatred and handed the letter to He.

He lowered her head to look at the contents of the letter. The more she read, her brows became more and more furrowed, just like Liang Su's.

He held the letter in her hand and said to Liang Tan who was standing in the hall in a sarcastic tone: "Tan'er, you really have a good mother!"

Liang Tan remained calm despite He's harsh words. She bowed slightly to He and asked, "Grandma, why are you so angry?"

"Look for yourself!" Originally, He Shi could still pretend that she would treat everyone equally, but Luo Yuan's letter made He Shi unable to pretend anymore. She said to Liang Tan in a muffled voice, "Your mother has been in the mountains for so many years, and she is still so thoughtful!"

"She just can't bear to see our Liang family prospering!"

"I really underestimated her before!"

He threw the letter at Liang Tan's face, and Liang Tan caught the letter floating in the air.

She unfolded the letter that was crumpled by He with both hands and read its contents.

[I just recited the Jade Letter, knowing everything…]

After reading it, Liang Tan still did not express any opinion.

Seeing that she was still like this, He Shi began to scold Liang Tan harshly: "Tan'er, why weren't you surprised when you saw the contents of the letter? You didn't know the contents of the letter long ago, did you?"

"Or did you instigate your mother to write this letter?"

He vented all her anger towards Luo Yuan on Liang Tan, completely forgetting how much she once loved her grandson Tan'er.

She scolded Liang Tan like this, but Liang Tan seemed to turn a deaf ear to her and saluted her without caring at all.

Xu Shengsheng, who was standing by, took the opportunity to fan the flames in He's ear: "I think there must be some misunderstanding about this letter. Madam must not think so... Besides, the eldest lady is innocent, so grandma should not vent her anger on her."

He snorted heavily. She looked at Liang Tan's always calm face with displeasure and felt even angrier for no reason.

In the past, what she liked most was Liang Tan’s calmness, but now what she hated most was also Liang Tan’s calmness.

It was as if she could stay out of everything and it had nothing to do with her.

"Speak!" He looked at Liang Tan's face and yelled again, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Liang Tan held her mother's letter in her hand, and looked calmly into those eyes that had long been filled with anger.

She slowly opened her mouth indifferently: "Tan'er heard everything grandma said."

"Then why are you pretending to be deaf and dumb!" Hearing Liang Tan's voice, He Shi started to accuse him, "Your father is right, neither you nor your daughter are good people!"

"Your mother wrote in her reply that she neither agreed to adopt Shengsheng as her adopted daughter nor agreed to pass Ronghua on to her name!"

Liang Tan calmly replied to He: "Grandmother is the head of the family, and she doesn't have to listen to mother's opinion."

He glared and said, "Didn't you see what your mother wrote at the end of the letter? If your father is determined to make Shengsheng and Ronghua the heirs, you must send a letter by carrier pigeon to the capital to inform your uncle immediately!"

Liang Tan simply waited for her to vent all her anger before she said, "Yes, I will obey what my mother said. I will write a letter to the Luo Mansion in the capital tomorrow."

Hearing Liang Tan's indifferent answer, He's chest rose and fell violently: "Oh. Liang Tan, Liang Tan, I have loved you for nothing all these years!"

He was furious, but Liang Tan ignored her and said quietly, "Grandma, are you afraid that Tan'er will tell uncle about this?"

"My uncle's surname is Luo, how can he be in charge of the family affairs of the Liang family?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, Grandma."

"Besides, it is a fact that Miss Sheng and Ronghua are the bloodline of my father and the Xu family. Since it is a fact, it will be made public sooner or later."

"I can't keep it hidden forever."

"This is unfair to both Miss Sheng and Ronghua."

"If grandma and father want to raise the heir, then do so. Tan'er has no objection."

Liang Tan said it easily, but her words did not sound so easy to He's ears.

He rolled her eyes at Liang Tan and said, "It's easy for you to say that. If the people in Jiangnan City knew the true identities of Shengsheng and Ronghua, how would your father save his face!"

Liang Tan touched his upper and lower lips together and began to calmly refute He's words: "Since Dad wants to have face, why would he do something shameless?"

"Tan Er, why didn't I realize you are so petty before!"

Liang Tan ignored her and she retorted: "What Tan Er said is not true?"

"Hmph!" He snorted loudly, and looked at Liang Tan with increasingly dislike in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Shengsheng tried to be the good person between He and Liang Tan. Xu Shengsheng said to Liang Tan earnestly, "Miss, grandma thought of letting us marry under Madam's name because she felt sorry for us. Please don't blame grandma."

"Why don't you just turn a blind eye and pretend that you didn't see the contents of the letter, nor did you see the Madam's instructions to you..."

"I am a girl, and I am sixteen years old. I can just find a husband and marry him. But Ronghua is different. Ronghua is only one year old now. He is still young and a boy. If he grows up in the Liang Mansion without any status, I am afraid it will have an impact on Ronghua's psychology."

"Shengsheng doesn't ask the eldest lady to treat us as her own siblings, but Shengsheng begs the eldest lady to be kind... Considering that we have the same father and that our grandmother is old, please don't write to the capital..."

"Just think of it as doing good deeds for yourself."

"Miss, what do you think?"

I have to say, what Xu Shengsheng said was very touching, as if she was a candle that would rather burn herself to light up others.

Liang Tan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips as he listened to Xu Shengsheng's extremely hypocritical words.

This is using ethics and morals to pressure her.

The corners of Liang Tan's lips curled up, she looked at Xu Shengsheng with cold eyes, and she touched her hair.

Dengzhi behind him seemed to have received a signal. She stepped forward and loudly refuted Xu Shengsheng's words: "Miss Sheng, it's hard for you to say so much, but I don't know what our eldest lady said wrong."

"The old lady and the master want to make you and Young Master Ronghua the legitimate heirs. Did the eldest lady object?"

Xu Shengsheng stretched his neck and said, "But the eldest lady wants to spread this matter to the capital."

"Yes, Madam is the eldest daughter's mother, and the eldest daughter must listen to her! You can't just listen to the old lady and the master and ignore Madam's words."

"Or is it really like what the eldest lady said just now, that you are afraid that the Chief Censor will find out?"

"You guys are guilty, why do you have to drag the young lady into this?"

"Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door if you don't do anything wrong!"

Dengzhi spoke to everyone all at once.

Dengzhi felt dry in the mouth by the end of her speech, so she simply took the teacup from Liang Tan's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

After Guru finished a cup of tea, Dengzhi wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Liang Su with a harsh voice.

Liang Su pointed at Deng Zhi and cursed, "Shameless thing! How dare you blame Sheng Sheng!"

Dengzhi was scolded by Liang Su, and she fell to her knees on the ground. She was kneeling, but her back was straight, and there was no fear in her eyes.

Dengzhi looked Liang Su in the eye and said calmly, "The master scolded me, and I accepted it. But the young lady is quiet and doesn't fight or compete, and I just can't stand it! That's why I can't help but speak up for her!"

"If you think what I said is wrong, you can just kick me out!"

"Anyway, I know a lot about the affairs of the mansion!"

Dengzhi was openly confronting Liang Su.

Liang Su was so angry that he had no place to vent.

He looked at Dengzhi's determined eyes and was so angry that his chest hurt. Liang Su ordered the servants outside: "Come here! Beat this ignorant servant to death and throw him into the mass grave!"

After giving the order, Liang Su narrowed one of his eyes uncontrollably, and he said to Deng Zhi with a mocking smile: "Aren't you going to speak for Liang Tan? I'll beat you to death, can you still be so courageous!"

The servants outside rushed in, holding Dengzhi's hands from left to right. Dengzhi knelt on the ground, raised her head and looked at Liang Su's evil and twisted face. Dengzhi screamed, "Master! You always claim to be incorruptible, but everyone in the mansion knows about your dirty deeds with your mistress! You can kill me, but if I die, everyone in Jiangnan City will know the secret of the Liang Mansion tomorrow!"

Liang Su half-bent down, and he grabbed Dengzhi's chin: "Are you threatening me?"

Liang Su raised his hand, wanting to slap this ignorant servant.

Just before his palm fell on Dengzhi's face, a cool hand grabbed his wrist.

Liang Tan's voice came immediately: "That's what I meant."

Liang Su seemed to not be able to believe his ears. He slowly turned his head and looked at Liang Tan's calm and composed face.

"What do you mean?" Liang Su stood up and looked down at Liang Tan condescendingly.

"Yes." Liang Tan met Liang Su's gaze, "Everything has been arranged outside the city. If Deng Zhi doesn't show up tomorrow, the diary will be sent to the capital as soon as possible."

Liang Su raised his eyebrows: "What diary?"

"My journal."

Liang Su felt a chill in his heart when he was looked at by Liang Tan.

"Are you going to tell your uncle about Shengsheng and Ronghua?"

"More than that." Liang Tan sneered, "Dad, don't you know what's going on?"
