YNRHPCYC Chapter 90

If there is something that cannot be solved, go to Liang Yanbei.

This was a habit he had developed over the years.

Shu Hua was sent to get medical treatment with Qin Qi. While Wen Chan took Ah Fu and went straight to Liang Mansion. Although he knew that it was a bit ridiculous to go to him again after driving him away this morning, he couldn’t care less, as the matter was urgent.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wen Chan jumped down from it, and just as he landed, he saw Liang Jun standing next to the gate of Liang Mansion.

He seemed to have just come back from outside. When he saw a carriage parked in front of his house, he stopped to take a look. When he saw that it was Wen Chan who jumped out from the carriage, he hurriedly smiled and saluted, “Greetings, Your Ninth Royal Highness.”

Wen Chan did not expect to see Liang Jun as soon as he arrived. He originally planned to let the servant at the door inform Liang Yanbei to come out directly, but unexpectedly he was caught by Liang Jun as soon as he arrived.

He also smiled, “Master Liang just returned to the mansion?”

“I just went out to take care of a few things.” Liang Jun said, “This place is honoured with Your Highness’s presence. May I know what brings you here?”

Wen Chan coughed lightly and said, “I came to see Liang Yanbei. I have something to tell him.”

“Your Highness came at the right time. He has been away from home these days, and I don’t know what he was busy with. He just returned home. Your Highness, please come in with this subject.” Liang Jun didn’t ask any more questions and invited Wen Chan to come in.

Wen Chan nodded slightly and followed him in. As soon as he passed through the hall, a servant came up to them in a hurry, “Master, you are finally back. Go to the back hall and see. The lady and the young master are arguing!”

“What?!” Liang Jun was shocked. He wasn’t sure who he was feeling nervous for. He even forgot that Wen Chan was following him and went straight to the back hall.

Wen Chan followed closely behind him, and after passing through a patch of withered flowers, he came to the back hall of the Liang Mansion. The servants all had their heads lowered, looking cautious, while a young boy stood by the wall, stretching his head to look inside.

No sound of quarrelling came out.

After Liang Jun approached, he leaned over and hugged Liang Yanheng, who was leaning forward from the wall and peeking. The young boy turned his head, and the eyes on his fair face were red and swollen, obviously because he had cried.

Seeing that his father was back, he suddenly hugged Liang Jun’s neck and cried.

Liang Jun gently patted Liang Yanheng’s head, then walked into the back hall and deliberately softened his tone, “What happened? You’ve frightened Heng’er quite a bit.”

Wen Chan also quietly stepped into the hall, and only then did he feel the atmosphere of stalemate firsthand. He saw the charming Lady Liang sitting in the upper seat; her face was ashen, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she looked uneasy, “You should ask that to your eldest son!”

Liang Yanbei was impatient, tapping his fingers on the table, and did not look at Liang Jun’s side but just said, “Mother, I have already made it very clear. If you still don’t think you understand, I can say it again.”

Wen Chan had known Liang Yanbei for so many years, and he knew that he was trying his best to control his temper right now. He had always been temperamental and rarely quarelled with others. He either schemed or directly fought with his fist.

Perhaps because the other party was his mother, he was being restrained and was trying to make his tone less stiff.

However, in his impression, Liang Yanbei loved his mother very much. After Madam Liang was robbed and killed by the Zhong family, Liang Yanbei was heartbroken and personally led people to encircle and suppress the Zhong family’s team.

The Zhong family suffered heavy losses in that battle. Zhong Wenjin took the head of Zhong Wenting’s eldest daughter, Zhong Qianye, while Liang Yanbei killed all of Zhong Wenting’s blood brothers.

If Zhong Wenting had not escaped quickly under the cover of everyone, he would have become a dead soul under Liang Yanbei’s knife.

In every subsequent year, Liang Yanbei remembered the death anniversaries of Madam Liang and Liang Yanheng and personally burnt incense to worship them.

What could make Liang Yanbei argue with Madam Liang?

“It’s natural for a man to marry a woman. Yanbei, you have reached this age, and it is time to get married. Even if you are not satisfied with the one arranged by your mother, you can at least pick one yourself and get along with each other first. It is better than dragging it on like this all the time.” Madam Liang sighed tiredly and finally softened her tone.

“Mother, you clearly know my illness. Why do you still force me?” Liang Yanbei said, “I will be annoyed if I have to say too much. If you really want to carry on the ancestral line, you might as well find a child bride for Heng’er earlier. Isn’t that why you gave birth to Heng’er?”

Illness? Liang Yanbei is ill?

Wen Chan was shocked when he heard this. He had never known about it. Could it be that Liang Yanbei had an unmentionable illness in that area?

Lady Liang wiped away tears as she said, “Your mother knows. But since it is a disease, it must be cured. If it keeps going like this, when will it get better?”

“Wife.” Liang Jun sighed, walked forward a few steps, and walked to the centre of the hall, “It’s better not to force Yanbei anymore. Let him be. Don’t always make him unhappy.”

Listening to the words and tone of this family, it was obvious that there was some unknown secret hidden! Wen Chan stood by the door, his small body trembling a little.

Did he hear something he shouldn’t have heard?

“I am also……” Madam Liang said helplessly, “Fine, fine……”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and suddenly saw Wen Chan by the door. She was taken aback for a moment and asked in surprise, “Your Ninth Royal Highness? When did you come here?”

After hearing this, Liang Jun slapped his forehead and turned around, “Look at my memory! I neglected Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will not blame me!”

Wen Chan did not respond but looked at Liang Yanbei and saw that he had also turned his head. The moment his eyes met Wen Chan’s, all the impatience on his face instantly disappeared, and the sharpness in his eyes softened.

This was an extremely obvious change in expression. Not only Wen Chan, but everyone else in the room could also see it. Then, the depressing atmosphere in the entire hall disappeared in an instant.

Liang Yanbei stood up, surprised and delighted, “Your Highness, why are you here? Did you come to find me?”

Wen Chan was a little embarrassed and coughed, “I have something trivial to tell you. But it seems inconvenient to see you now, so I……”

“Convenient!” Liang Yanbei seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say next and immediately interrupted, “I am the most idle in the entire Liang Mansion. If Your Highness has anything to say, let’s go out first to talk.”

“Yanbei.” Liang Jun called him, “Be careful when you follow Your Highness out. Don’t improperly offend His Highness.”

“I know.” Liang Yanbei responded obediently, and before leaving, he said to Madam Liang seriously, “Mom, don’t waste your thoughts on me. You know it’s impossible for me to marry a wife.”

It was unknown who he said this to. Anyway, everyone in the hall heard it clearly, and their expressions were different.

Then Liang Yanbei took Wen Chan out of the Liang Mansion.

Wen Chan was silent all the way until he got on the carriage, and then he slowly spoke, “Why…… Don’t you want to marry?”

Liang Yanbei cast a glance that he knew that he would ask and asked rhetorically, “Your Highness, don’t you know the reason?”

Wen Chan immediately shut up. Anyway, he wouldn’t give a serious answer even if he asked again.

Liang Yanbei saw that he didn’t speak, so he continued to say, “You just kicked me out this morning, and now you come to the Liang Mansion looking for me. Could it be that Your Highness has changed his mind and wants to win me back?”

“I didn’t kick you back to let you quarrel with your mother.” Wen Chan said indifferently.

“I didn’t quarrel with her. I just told my mother some big truths so she stops forcing me to marry those rich girls.” Liang Yanbei leaned back disapprovingly, his posture a little lazy.

Wen Chan glanced at him, unable to discern his thoughts. Realising that continuing the conversation would only bring them back to square one, he decided to get straight to the point. “I went to Gecha Mansion just now and encountered a masked man in a black robe who attacked me.”

The moment he finished speaking, Liang Yanbei’s eyes shifted, his brows furrowing as his voice dropped low. “Attack?”

He stood up and walked to Wen Chan’s side all of a sudden and squeezed in to sit down very close to Wen Chan, “Let me see if His Highness is injured.”

“What are you doing!” Wen Chan patted off his outstretched hand and said while pushing him, “I’m not injured, but Shu Hua’s arm got fractured. The black-robed man didn’t want to take my life but just kept preventing me from approaching Zhong Guoyi’s cell.”

Liang Yanbei retracted his paw that had been slapped, but his ass took the opportunity to sit firmly, not moving at all, and said thoughtfully, “It had not occurred to me that the Zhong Clan would still have remnants. He is really not afraid of death.”

“I don’t know who that person is yet.” Wen Chan said.

“Zhong Guoyi was able to disappear in the cell out of thin air. Obviously someone is helping him from outside. Since they still want to return to have influence[footnote]lit. ashes burn once more (idiom)[/footnote], let’s give him this opportunity.” Liang Yanbei smiled slightly, “They always want to put the blade on your highness’s head, which is quite a headache.”

“Maybe if they kill me, they will really have a chance to turn the tables.” Wen Chan said silently. Although Liang Yanbei was their biggest obstacle on the surface, in fact, if he were killed, it would be much easier to act.

Liang Yanbei turned his head to look at him; his eyes softened, “If something happens to you, I promise that the entire Zhong family will disappear from Xi Liang.”

“I have always been a normal person. But since I met your highness, I have become abnormal.” Liang Yanbei smiled and said softly, “But at least don’t let me become a madman.”

Wen Chan’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he felt a strange feeling overflowing from his heart, causing him to turn his head away more abruptly than he intended.

The memory was too vivid; Wen Chan’s memories came one after another as soon as he said it.

He didn’t doubt the authenticity of what Liang Yanbei said at all. At the end of their dispute with the Zhong clan in the previous life, Wen Chen was attacked while patrolling with his troops and was caught by Zhong Guoyi’s people.

At that time, Zhong Guoyi had lost all his wives and children. Even Zhong Wenting was beheaded by Zhong Wenjin himself. When Wen Chan saw him again that time, he was almost a mess.

His plan should have been to humiliate Wen Chan severely first and then kill him.

But just as this plan started, Liang Yanbei’s blade smashed open the gate of the palace. He was forced to leave Wen Chan’s life as a bargaining chip to force Liang Yanbei to withdraw his troops.

Wen Chan was held in Zhong Guoyi’s hands for seven days. Due to the pressure exerted by Liang Yanbei, Zhong Guoyi did not dare to take his life even if he hated him to the point of vomiting blood. He held his life to find a way out.

Unfortunately, although Zhong Guoyi had a good plan, he was chopped to pieces by Liang Yanbei. He sneaked into the place where Wen Chan was imprisoned alone, killed him in cold blood and brought Wen Chan out of the palace, safe and intact.

After Wen Chan went back, he heard from others that Liang Yanbei had completely turned into a madman during the seven days he was detained. No one in the military camp dared to do anything to anger him, and even Zhong Wenjin, who was a madman himself, avoided him.

After that, Liang Yanbei launched a full-scale counterattack and ended Zhong Guoyi’s life while the sky was bloody.

Although he hadn’t seen Liang Yanbei’s crazy appearance with his own eyes, from the reactions of other people, it seemed that it should be quite terrifying. Even Zhong Wenjin was terrified, and he avoided talking about it when he asked.

Who was Zhong Wenjin? He was a person who showed no fear even if he was beaten till he got a bloody nose by Liang Yanbei.

When he saw Ah Fu staring at him with his big round eyes, Wen Chan felt his ears getting hot. He reached out and pushed Liang Yanbei aside, sending him a long distance away, and whispered, “That man didn’t want to kill me. I don’t think he’s Zhong Guoyi’s man.”

Liang Yanbei was a little frustrated and said, “Regardless of who it is, he must have a reason or purpose for attacking you. Let’s go and take a look.”
