Chapter 176: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (6)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
In Xia Liang"s boudoir, Minister"s mansion.
"Ah! My lady, why are there some bruises on your neck ?! How ... how did you get them?" Chuncao screamed as she saw the bruises on Xia Liang"s neck when she waited on Xia Liang to fresh up in the morning.
Xia Liang touched her neck and said coldly, "I had a nightmare yesterday and accidentally clenched myself."
"Ah!" Chuncao was shocked by her explanation. She paused before saying something. "My-my lady, your nightmare is too serious. Would you like to tell his lords.h.i.+p and her ladys.h.i.+p? And also hire a master to have a look? "
"No." Xia Liang waved her hand, looking at Chuncao, and said heavily, "Don"t tell my mother and father. They will be worried. I"m fine. Just put some grease on it to cover it up."
"Yes." Chuncao was still a little worried, but she bowed slightly and agreed.
After Xia Liang finished was.h.i.+ng, she went to Haitang Garden to greet her mother.
"Liang, let me take a look at you. Did you sleep well yesterday? How are you feeling?” Madam w.a.n.g had finished was.h.i.+ng and asked a series of questions to care about her, holding her hands.
"Don"t worry, mother. I am fully recovered. " Xia Liang smiled slightly at w.a.n.g and her voice was slightly softer. “You have to ask several times a day."
"You scared me to death when you were sick last time," w.a.n.g said, gently pointing Xia Liang"s forehead with her finger and groaned. "you have a problem with me asking you a few questions?"
“I dare not. And I know that you care about me.” Xia Liang said, holding w.a.n.g"s arm.
“You! Stay here and spend some time with me. Your brother will come later. And you are going to eat with me.” w.a.n.g looked at her with mother"s love. She also sent the maid to tell the chef to cook crystal dumplings which were Xia Liang"s favorite dish.
Since her daughter was recovered from the serious illness, she was calm and peaceful. And she was not as timid as before, which w.a.n.g was happy about.
But her daughter was less girly than other ladies. She was happy and also dad about Xia Liang"s change.
And her daughter had grown up and was old enough to marry. Fortunately, Shaoyan, the son of her sister-in-law, the kid she liked, was someone they all knew very well.
The boy grew up with her daughter. They were close since they were children. It would be a good choice if her daughter married him.
“Mother, does father have many social occasions to go?” Xia Liang sat down and asked.
“Don"t even mention your father in front of me!” w.a.n.g was outraged as she mentioned Xia Liang"s father.
“I don"t know what happened lately. He comes back very late every day and he has smells of liquor and women"s powder. I asked him if he went to brothels. He denied. I am so p.i.s.sed off.”
w.a.n.g paused immediately right there because she realized that she shouldn"t belittle her daughter"s father in front of her, and then made up for it, “don"t worry about it. Your father is the Minister of Finance. It is a routine to go out and socialize with other officials.”
Then w.a.n.g sighed. She was not really angry. As a sensible woman, she, of course, knew it very well how difficult to be an official.
Her husband served at such a high position. He was not a canny man but still good at socializing with others. He was also loyal to the emperor. otherwise, he couldn"t make it so far. On the dark side, he had to do things against his will sometimes.
w.a.n.g was Xia Yuanzheng"s only wife. He had no concubines. They loved each other and they had a daughter and a son. They were happily married and their family couldn"t be happier, which was very rare.
Since Xia Liang had been in the world for two months, she received a lot of care and love, warmth of the family. She cared about the family very much.
But two month later, Xia Yuanzheng would be imprisoned for treason and the family would be destroyed. Xia Liang"s first main task in this world was to resolve the disaster.
9957 said that because she owed a thousand points, she was only provided with the body"s memory and related information. She was not provided with any information of this world. And even her task was more difficult.
Moreover, the tasks in this world were not given at one time, but would be automatically activated at any time as the storyline went on!
