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

But this time Liang Qiuli did not immediately agree to him. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

What comes too easily is often not cherished.

Liang Qiuli felt that the two of them had already broken through half of the barrier between them today, and that was enough.

Although the two got along well in their dreams, they didn't have much interaction in reality because of their past relationship.

Upon seeing this, Prince Duan couldn't help but feel nervous. He had originally thought that as long as he took action, the matter would be a sure thing.

but now……

However, it's normal for Liang Qiuli to be unwilling, after all, as his mother said, he is so much older than her.

Thinking this, Prince Duan saw that Liang Qiuli had indeed shaken her head at him, and his heart sank little by little.

"Your Highness... no, Brother Rui, I just feel it's too fast, and... and... my engagement with Shen Shu was just canceled, if..."

Although Liang Qiuli refused, she still wanted to give Prince Duan some hope, so she looked a little flustered and hurriedly explained.

The Prince Duan's heart, which had sunk to the bottom, was suddenly pulled up again by her, and his eyes gradually brightened.

He said that Qiuli didn't mind his age.

He was willing to wait for her to accept him.

It's all Shen Shu's fault!

"Lili, you don't need to explain, I understand."

Prince Duan looked at Liang Qiuli with tenderness in his eyes, and Liang Qiuli seemed to be comforted and relaxed a little.

"I won't force you. I genuinely like you; it's not just a passing fancy. I hope you can give me a chance, okay?"

Prince Duan not only verbally agreed to the Empress Dowager's request not to pressure Liang Qiuli, but also tried his best to appear gentle in his actions.

Because he knew Liang Qiuli didn't like being pressured, and if he really pushed her too far, he would be the one to regret it.

Seeing the seriousness in Prince Duan's eyes, Liang Qiuli knew that it was about time.

"it is good."

Seeing Liang Qiuli nod in agreement, Prince Duan was overjoyed, but only showed a faint smile on his face.

"Lili, you...you agreed? Then you should rest well first, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Prince Duan wanted to stay with Liang Qiuli forever, but it was clearly not appropriate, so he had to leave reluctantly.

After leaving Liang Qiuli, Prince Duan's expression returned to its usual indifference, and he even exuded a cold aura.

He hadn't forgotten that Liang Qiuli's horse startling incident might have been caused by human intervention.

"Qian Youqian, have someone investigate the origin of Liang Qiuli's horse today, and who has been in contact with it in the past two days."

That horse, after he took Liang Qiuli away, became a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, and it wouldn't be easy to find it.

Then we can only start the investigation from the horse farm.

Qian Youqian sensed that his master was angry, and Feng Su nodded in agreement.

"Yes, master."

……

"Miss, are you alright? Prince Duan didn't do that to you, did he?"

After Prince Duan left, Zhu Lu rushed in to check on Liang Qiuli's condition.

"fine."

Liang Qiuli shook her head.

Seeing Liang Qiuli sitting on the bed unharmed, Zhu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask with some curiosity.

"Then why did Prince Duan come to see you?"

Liang Qiuli felt that Zhulu would eventually find out, so she didn't hide it and gave a brief explanation of the situation.

"what?"

Zhulu was clearly startled by this bizarre dream, but she trusted that her young mistress wouldn't lie to her, so she quickly accepted it.

"No wonder you've been drawing in the yard lately, and always depicting scenes you've never seen or experienced before. It turns out they're all things you've been dreaming about."

It seems that Zhuangzi's story of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of being a butterfly might actually come true.

Zhu Lu recalled her young mistress's recent strange behavior and instantly felt it made sense.

"Oh, you even know about Zhuangzi's dream of the butterfly?"

Liang Qiuli teased.

Although Zhulu was just a maid, the Liang family was considered a scholarly family when Liang's father was alive, and Liang Qiuli's personal maid was required to be literate.

"Of course, it's thanks to Miss's teaching."

Zhu Lu winked playfully.

However, knowing that the young lady had been caught in the rain and needed to rest, she didn't press further about the mystery of the dream. After saying a few words, she told her to get some rest.

……

"Granny Wang, the engagement has truly been cancelled, and it was even decreed by the Emperor himself!"

Cao was surprised to hear such good news when she woke up from her afternoon nap.

He instantly perked up and hurriedly asked Granny Wang for details.

"It's true, your wish has come true."

Shen Shu knew that his mother should be waking up from her afternoon nap at this time, so he wanted to come over and talk to her in person.

However, even though breaking off the engagement was the result he wanted, he was actually a little worried about Liang Qiuli when he learned that she had been startled by the horse and almost been injured by it.

I still want to go see her.

"God has finally opened his eyes."

Cao bowed in the direction of the sky, finally at ease. Now she only hoped that the Emperor would bestow Shu'er upon the daughter of an important official in the court.

"Don't hang out with Yan Li these days. You should behave well in front of your royal uncle."

"Your father has rendered meritorious service this time, so you should also try to gain something in return. After all, the future of the Duan Prince's mansion will all be yours."

Cao's tone was full of pride and self-satisfaction.

Prince Duan hasn't visited her room for several years, and in the last six months he's even rarely come to the backyard. If this Prince Duan's mansion doesn't belong to her son, whose is it?

"Okay, Mother, I will definitely behave well, but can you please agree to my relationship with Yanli? Father loves Yanli and treats her like his own daughter. I'm sure he also hopes that Yanli will be his daughter-in-law."

Shen Shu wanted to take advantage of Cao Shi's good mood and beg her to agree to her marriage with Yan Li.

But upon hearing this, Cao immediately turned hostile, her previously amiable face instantly darkening as she spoke sternly.

"There's no room for negotiation! As long as I'm alive, it's impossible!"

Shen Shu was startled by Cao's reaction.

Why can't Mother see Yanli's good qualities? What should we do?

"Mother, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that Cao Shi's expression was unfriendly, Shen Shu was afraid that she would pressure him, so he quickly made an excuse and left in a hurry.

Cao sighed as she watched Shen Shu's departing figure.

"Granny Wang, you said I've done everything I could, so why does he still prefer Yan Li!"

“Your Highness, please consider this: the reason Yan Li has been able to stay in the Prince Duan’s residence is because of the Prince. If she were to completely offend the Prince, then no matter how much the young master wants to marry her, it would be impossible.”

When Granny Wang made the suggestion to Madam Cao, a glint of light flashed in Madam Cao's eyes.

……

Liang Qiuli rested all day, and only thought of going out for a stroll the next evening.

"Miss Liang, the Prince is waiting for you by the stream over there."

Prince Duan had been keeping an eye on Liang Qiuli, and as soon as she stepped out, someone would come to report to her.

So they quickly sent Qian Youqian over to invite people.
