Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

Liang Qiuli got up and had Zhulu help her wash up. After breakfast, she took Zhulu to the courtyard where the Dowager Consort lived.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the voice of Shen Shu's mother, the concubine of Prince Duan.

"Your Highness, you can't be biased. In the past, Liang Qiuli's status was barely comparable to Shu'er's, but now that Lord Liang is dead, she is no longer worthy of Shu'er."

If you insist on having Shu'er marry her because of past affections, then let her come in as a concubine.

Yesterday, Shen Shu came to her in a huff, saying he didn't want to marry Liang Qiuli, which suited her just fine. So this morning, she came to discuss this matter with the Dowager.

Before the Dowager Consort could speak, Liang Qiuli frowned slightly upon hearing Consort Cao's sarcastic remarks and stepped directly into the room.

This concubine Cao certainly bullied the original owner quite a bit.

She also wanted to help get some justice.

The atmosphere instantly became tense when everyone saw Liang Qiuli enter the house.

"She is not good enough for Brother Shu, and Brother Shu doesn't even like her. It's probably not suitable for her to be a concubine. Let's find someone else for her."

Yan Li was also there, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere, and directly engaged Liang Qiuli in a face-to-face fight.

Others gave her meaningful glances, while she pretended to be innocent and naive.

"Stop saying a few words!"

The Dowager Consort gave Yan Li a disgusted look. Although Yan Li was the adopted daughter of Prince Duan, she came from the common people and had no manners.

She's reckless in everything she does, and her son, Prince Duan, spoils her rotten, making her increasingly unruly.

"Qiuli, come sit next to your grandmother."

The Dowager looked at Liang Qiuli, who bore a striking resemblance to her sister in her youth, and waved with a smile.

Liang Qiuli was well-versed in poetry and literature from a young age, so her every move exuded gentleness. Although she was not exceptionally beautiful, she was still graceful and elegant, and the Empress Dowager took a liking to her at first sight.

So no matter what Consort Cao said, she always regarded Liang Qiuli as her future granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's actions, Consort Cao knew she was doomed today.

But for her son's future, she decided to try again.

"Your Highness, if you really like Miss Liang, why not adopt her as your goddaughter? That way, it won't affect your ability to find her a good marriage in the future."

And even if she marries someone else, after her marriage, she will often come to keep you company and relieve your boredom, whenever you wish.

Consort Cao suggested that, in any case, her son should not marry a woman like Liang Qiuli who could offer no help whatsoever.

"Shen Shu, what do you think?"

The Dowager looked at Shen Shu, who had been standing silently to the side without saying a word or interrupting.

This grandson is actually good in every way, but he's cowardly and lacks responsibility. He always likes to run away from problems or run to his mother, which is nothing like his father, Prince Duan.

Shen Shu was surprised that his grandmother would suddenly ask for his opinion. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a long time before saying something.

"Grandmother, your grandson will listen to his mother."

After all, it would be too difficult for him to say to his grandmother that he didn't want to marry Liang Qiuli, so he should let his mother refuse on his behalf.

"you……"

The Empress Dowager was disappointed in her son's lack of ambition.

She hoped that Liang Qiuli and Shen Shu could live happily ever after so that she could hold her great-grandchildren, but if the two really didn't like each other, she wouldn't force them.

Previously, she could tell that Liang Qiuli was indeed interested in Shen Shu, but Shen Shu might not be, though he didn't reject her in front of her.

Now, Shen Shu has come directly to Cao Shi, which clearly shows that he doesn't want to marry Liang Qiuli.

She looked at Liang Qiuli with some concern, and seeing her indifferent expression, she couldn't help but sigh.

The little girl was still sad.

"Qiu Li, what are you thinking?"

The Dowager asked, hoping that Liang Qiuli could express her true thoughts.

"The words of parents and the orders of matchmakers should be obeyed."

But I also know that Young Master Shen has someone else in his heart, so I..."

As Liang Qiuli spoke, her mood became increasingly somber, but she still managed to force a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shu'er has no one else in her heart."

You're clearly unworthy of the book, yet you still dare to slander him here; you're utterly ungrateful!

Consort Cao interrupted Liang Qiuli before she could finish speaking, so angry that she almost slammed her hand on the table, her face full of displeasure.

She had no idea that Shen Shu liked Yan Li, and was still thinking about breaking off the engagement with Liang Qiuli and finding him a daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital.

After all, compared to Liang Qiuli, she looked down on Yan Li, who came from a humble background. She was just lucky enough to catch the prince's eye and be recognized as his goddaughter, which allowed her to live in the Duan Prince's mansion.

Enjoy it all.

However, the two have no conflict of interest, so they usually seem to get along quite well.

"This... Consort Cao, Qiu Li would never dare to speak ill of Young Master Shen. He told me those things himself yesterday."

Liang Qiuli was clearly frightened by Consort Cao, but apart from speaking a little faster, she remained calm and composed, showing no fear.

This is what she, as a daughter of the Liang family, must do; she cannot bring shame to her father.

The Empress Dowager did not interrupt, but she was quite satisfied with Liang Qiuli's calm demeanor.

Yan Li was already feeling a bit annoyed after being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, but since her main goal today was to get Liang Qiuli and Brother Shu to break off their engagement, she held back for now.

But when Liang Qiuli mentioned Brother Shu, who told her personally that he had someone he liked, her heart unconsciously quickened.

Her eyes also turned to Brother Shu, and after their eyes met, the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up, and she felt very sweet inside.

The person that Brother Shu likes is himself.

"Impossible, Shu'er, tell me, is what she said true?"

Consort Cao, unable to get an answer from Liang Qiuli, could only ask Shen Shu.

Shen Shu wanted to admit that he liked Yan Li, but when he met his mother's expectant gaze, he hesitated.

He was afraid; he was afraid his mother would be heartbroken.

"I don't have anyone I like."

Shen Shu lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone. He gritted his teeth and said something against his will, hoping that Yan Li would not be angry and ignore him.

He had no choice but to do it, and he believed Yan Li would understand.

"How can you not have someone you like!"

Obviously, Yan Li couldn't understand him. After hearing Shen Shu say that he didn't have anyone he liked, she immediately exploded.

She pointed at Shen Shu, her face full of disbelief, feeling that she had been hurt.

"You're lying! You clearly said you liked me, so why are you saying you don't like anyone now?"

Yan Li's tone was full of grievance and anger. If she had a whip in her hand, she probably would have lashed her out.

Shen Shu wanted to explain, but he knew that his mother didn't like Yan Li to begin with, and if he explained now, his mother would probably be even less likely to accept Yan Li.

Or maybe...

Liang Qiuli looked at the conflicted Shen Shu and chuckled inwardly. On one side was family, on the other was love. Let's see how he chooses.
