Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 178 I Won’t Marry a Dead Person
Liang Su knelt in front of the princess's carriage and asked her to hand over Liang Yanqi.
Inside the carriage, the eldest princess's face was as gloomy as water. She gently fiddled with the curtains and saw through the gaps in the curtains that more and more people were gathering from all directions. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. If it were in her territory, she would definitely kill Liang Su, but in front of everyone, she didn't dare to do anything out of line.
Looking at the bustling crowds of people, the princess was filled with doubts. Liang Su had been demoted to a commoner, so why could he still gather so many people?
But before the princess could think deeply, Liang Su suddenly fell to the ground with his hands, choking and begging, "Your Highness, Yan Qi is my lifeblood. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and let Yan Qi be reunited with me..."
As he spoke, he kowtowed "dong dong dong". In the blink of an eye, his forehead was covered in blood.
The onlookers whispered to each other, and they all felt extremely sympathetic towards this once high and mighty marquis. Now he couldn't even protect his own son. He was truly no better than a chicken when his feathers were plucked!
The eldest princess was furious. Liang Su was putting her on the fire, but if she went out and told Liang Su that Liang Yanqi had committed suicide out of fear of punishment, she would probably be drowned in the saliva of the onlookers.
She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a suitable plan to escape, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
At this moment, Princess Roujia woke up from her nap. She stared blankly at the carriage roof, and after a moment she remembered that she was inside the carriage. Hearing the noisy voices, she jumped up and raised her hand to lift the curtain.
The eldest princess was shocked. She grabbed Princess Roujia's arm and shook her head vigorously at her.
Outside the carriage, Liang Su saw that the princess remained motionless, and his patience finally ran out.
Originally, the eldest princess used the ridiculous things they did in Fengfuliu as a handle to blackmail them, but now he is just a commoner, and the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those handles can no longer threaten him. And he has been a marquis for so many years, so naturally he has some handles on the eldest princess.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, all I ask for is Yan Qi's safe return. But if I cannot get what I want, I will have to tell everyone that you are in Feng Fuliu..."
Hearing the phrase "wind blowing the willows", the princess was horrified. She hastily lifted the carriage curtain and sternly shouted, "Liang Su, how dare you! You..."
"The imperial edict has arrived~" A sharp and high-pitched voice came from afar.
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged eunuch with a dignified look striding towards them, followed by several neatly dressed young eunuchs.
The people were terrified and retreated to both sides, consciously making way for a path.
The eunuch walked gracefully to the front of the Princess's carriage and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please alight and receive the order."
The eldest princess's face froze. She couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly issued the decree, but the current situation didn't allow her to dwell on it any longer, so she had to take Princess Roujia out of the carriage.
The eunuch flicked his whisk, took out a bright yellow imperial edict, and said loudly: "Princess Roujia, Liang Yanqi, please accept the edict!" Everyone present knelt on the ground.
The eunuch took a quick glance and asked coldly, "Where is Liang Yanqi?"
Liang Su's heart trembled, feeling that the imperial edict was not good news. It was better that Yan Qi was not present. He quickly put on a smile and said, "My lord, Yan Qi is not here due to some matters. Please bear with me. I am his father and can accept the edict on his behalf."
The eunuch frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then nodded and read aloud: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:..."
Until the eunuch read out the last word, the princess, Liang Su and others were still in shock. Why did the emperor suddenly issue an order to grant the marriage?
The eunuch announcing the decree said calmly, "Princess Roujia, Liang Su, please accept the decree!"
Princess Roujia suddenly jumped up, looking at the imperial edict in horror, and said in a shrill voice: "No, I won't accept it. I want to go to my uncle the emperor. Why would he point me to a commoner? I don't want to marry a dead man..."
The eldest princess stood up hurriedly and said sternly: "Roujia..."
But her voice could not drown out Roujia's screams. Liang Su looked at Princess Roujia in surprise and asked anxiously, "Princess, what are you talking about? What dead person? What happened to Yanqi?" As he spoke, he pounced on Princess Roujia.
The eldest princess hurriedly stood in front of Princess Roujia and said coldly, "Liang Su, you must not be rude to Jiaer!"
Liang Su looked at the princess with red eyes and choked up, "What happened? Where is Yan Qi now?"
The eldest princess's face was stern, and she said sternly, "Rou Jia kindly invited Liang Yanqi to the banquet, but he wanted to take revenge on Fu An. The Crown Prince arrived in time to stop his plan, and after the Crown Prince left, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
She pulled out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Liang Su, saying in a deep voice, "This is the suicide note he left behind. It clearly explains his crimes."
"I watched Yanqi grow up under my care. I couldn't bear to see him become a wandering ghost, so I brought his body back. It's in the carriage behind. You can take it away!"
Liang Su read the suicide note in one swift glance, his eyes bloodshot as he angrily shouted, "Stop your slander, you vicious woman! My son is just a commoner. How could he sneak into your banquet and bribe your maidservant?"
He suddenly turned around, glaring at Princess Roujia with a vicious look, and shouted, "I've heard that at today's banquet, you failed to harm anyone but ended up making things worse. This bitch secretly met with my son, and the matter is already settled!"
"You must be harboring resentment, so you murdered my son and pushed him out as a scapegoat!"
Princess Roujia was terrified by Liang Su's gaze. Seeing the mocking expressions on the faces of the onlookers, she quickly defended herself, "No, you're talking nonsense. Nothing happened today. It's all your son's fault. Anyway, I won't marry a dead person. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Liang Su's face turned ashen with anger. He shouted, "You have destroyed my life, and I will not live anymore. I will die with you!" Then he rushed towards Princess Roujia.
The guards from the Princess's Mansion who followed the carriage had already surrounded Liang Su. Liang Su was like a mad beast trapped in a cage, and could only rage helplessly.
The princess looked at the angry people and thought to herself that the carriage might not be able to pass today. She hurriedly called a guard and whispered a few words to him.
The guard immediately ran back and soon brought back two horses.
The princess said to the eunuch announcing the decree, "Eunuch, Jia'er cannot accept today's imperial decree. I will go to the palace immediately to ask the emperor."
After saying this, she quickly climbed onto one of the horses, and Princess Roujia quickly mounted another. The two of them galloped through the gaps in the crowd towards the palace, leaving the onlookers staring at each other in bewilderment...
