Chapter 327: Disagree to the Settlement!
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No matter how stupid Huangfu Lingyao was, he was still the Emperor’s son. The Emperor could not do anything about his headache, even if he knew that someone was bullying his son. Even if he did it in private, he would turn a blind eye.
But if it’s brought to the surface, it becomes intolerable!
“Mr. Liang, 1 have my own decision on this matter. If you can’t calm down, then leave first.”
After reprimanding Liang Wei, the Emperor turned to look at Huangfu Jiao and said, “Grand Princess, Ping’an’s audacious and disrespectful behavior is indeed due to the lack of discipline in the Yu family. You don’t need to force it and call it a mere quarrel between young girls. Whether it’s the Crown Prince or King Dun Yu, they are all my sons. I won’t tolerate anyone fabricating falsehoods or sowing discord between brothers!”
He cla.s.sified the issue – it was not a mere quarrel, but rather, it was about spreading rumors and instigating conflict!
Now that it was cla.s.sified as such, Yu Wanqing was clearly at fault. With fault established, it was time for punishment.
After receiving such affirmation, Liang Wei’s expression finally improved a little. He did not care that he was almost chased out and obediently ‘calmed down’.
However, Huangfu Jiao’s expression did not look as good. “Qing’er is at fault, I will have her apologize after she recovers from her injuries. She will apologize to the Crown Prince, King Dun Yu, and Eldest Miss Liu to show our sincerity.”
Liu Shimei was speechless.
It sounded nice – wait until she’s recovered to apologize. But after her injuries were healed, who would remember this incident in two or three years? And what if something else happened during those two or three years? The apology would be meaningless!
Moreover, Yu Wanqing did not recover from her injuries, it meant that she did not need to apologize. If she did not apologize, it would leave Liu Shimei constantly bearing the weight of this incident.
One could say that Huangfu Jiao was trying to take advantage of the situation!
Liang Wei, of course, understood and spoke up, “As a humble official, 1 dare to disagree with reconciliation!”
“In that case, what do you suggest?” Huangfu Quan looked at Liang Wei.
Liang Wei replied earnestly, “The daughters of the Yu family are like precious pearls, and the daughters of the Liang family are also priceless treasures! My Shimei has suffered unjustly and has been greatly traumatized mentally. She can’t eat or sleep properly these days! The so-called sincerity from the Yu family is just offering some extravagant gifts. Do they really think my family lacks that trivial amount of money?”
He kept saying that Liu Shimei was a member of the Liang family, and every word was a slap to Liu Fuyun’s face.
Liu Fuyun had been standing quietly on the side without saying a word. His expression became increasingly unpleasant. Unable to hold back any longer, he reminded, “Master Liang, Shimiao is my daughter.”
It was fine if he did not speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liang Wei’s artillery fire directly sprayed at him. “You still have the face to say that! Your daughter has been bullied so badly, yet you’re still pretending to be a clay Buddha. It can’t be that you’re thick-skinned enough to accept the compensation money the Yu family is going to give you and then let your daughter swallow this grievance, right?”
Liu Fuyun was humiliated by his father-in-law in front of everyone!
However, he could not talk back. The Emperor advocated filial piety, so how could he refute his father-in-law at this time?
Liang Wei continued to spit fire. “Let me tell you, Liu Jun! We have already made a decision in the Liang family regarding Shimei’s matter. Your Liu family can go and coddle your lame daughter; we don’t want it!”
The pitiful Grand Chancellor was scolded by his father-in-law in the throne room!
However, no one present sympathized with him. After all, it was true. Liu Fuyun stood there and did not say anything when his daughter was in such a situation. What kind of father was he?
It could be seen that Liu Fuyun no longer cared about Liu Shimei. That was why he did not care about her innocence!
“Alright, alright, enough bickering. My head is starting to ache!” Emperor Huangfu Quan said in frustration, “Apology is necessary.”
Since they could not settle the dispute, the Emperor would handle it himself.
Everyone waited in silence for the Emperor’s judgment..
