Chapter 178: Decision

Yongchangbo looked at his eldest son, who he hadn't seen for several years, and faced his questioning for a while, and didn't know how to argue.

Liao Yongheng has a temperament similar to his gentle biological mother, always speaking softly and never loudly. Even when the father and son broke up, Liao Yongheng asked Yongchangbo if he knew that his biological mother had died strangely, but Liao Yongheng's attitude was always cold, rational, and never hysterical.

Yongchangbo looked at Liao Yongheng and was speechless.

And Liao Yongheng saw Yongchangbo's reaction, and probably knew it in his heart.

"Looks like I didn't need to ask that." Liao Yongheng also felt some helplessness in her heart for a while.

Liao Yongheng's appearance is not similar to his biological mother who died early, but his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his father Yongchangbo. And I haven't seen him for a few years, Yongchangbo has gray temples and is much older.

"Father, when you and your second uncle were involved in such a thing, did you ever think in your heart that once this matter was exposed, where should the Earl of Yongchang Mansion go in the future?" Liao Yongheng let out a long sigh. "My father is not such a foolish person, why did he choose to fall into this troubled water?"

"I really have no choice, your sister is serving by the side of the second prince, although she is favored, she has no children under her knees. The second prince has planned all kinds of things all these years, why doesn't he need money? Yongchangbo chose to stand behind the second prince Xiao Jin at that time, and even made the daughter of the family a side concubine for him, and he had already tied the whole family to the second prince's boat.

Yongchangbo didn't know that the second prince and the eldest prince were also concubine princes, and the two of them won in half.

In addition, Princess Qinghe and Mrs. Yongchangbo have always been close to the queen, so Yongchangbo has no choice but to stand behind the second prince.

Even if there is only half of the chance of winning at the moment, Uncle Yongchang is not willing to easily let go of the glory that this dragon skill has brought to the Earl of Yongchang's mansion.

"Father shouldn't have acted like this." Liao Yongheng sighed. "With my father's talent, even if this generation of Yongchang Earl's Mansion does not stand behind any prince, there will be no problem."

After Liao Yongheng lost her biological mother, she was taken by her own grandmother to raise her. When she was young, Mrs. Yongchang also read poetry and books, and she taught Liao Yongheng to be loyal to her father, as a child of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion, she should think about the future of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion by acting and acting in a style.

At that time, Liao Yongnian was instigated by the second prince to make a fuss, and almost injured the eldest prince and the second prince.

Fortunately, Duan Shaolan in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion rescued the two princes, and Emperor Chu gave the eldest prince the opportunity to enter the household department to study politics in order to calm the matter, and deprived Liao Yongnian of the opportunity to inherit the Yongchang Earl's Mansion in the future.

When Liao Yongheng first met the eldest prince in the household department, he had a faint worry in his heart that his half-brother almost injured the two princes, and I am afraid that the eldest prince will not spare him.

However, the eldest prince Xiao Yu did not treat him as Liao Yongheng imagined, but Corporal Lixian, he came to the household department to study politics, and did not put on any noble princely posture, so he started to learn from the most basic affairs little by little.

If Liao Yongheng is asked, he observes the actions of the two princes who are qualified to compete for the throne, and the eldest prince is even better.

But the father, the stepfamily, and the eldest princess of Qinghe all took a fancy to the second prince.

"Don't talk about this, the matter has come to this, since you deliberately returned to the house from outside, first think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of the house." Yongchangbo didn't know what his eldest son was thinking, but things seemed to have come to this point, and it wasn't something he could retreat from if he wanted to.

"Did my father have nothing in mind in the days leading up to my return?" Liao Yongheng questioned.

"Your stepmother told me a way to eliminate future troubles, but I was always hesitant in my heart."

"To make my father hesitate, I can probably already think of what her method is? She probably asked her father to send someone to attack on the way on which the second uncle was escorted back to the imperial capital, and solved the second uncle who handled everything on the surface, and solved the biggest human witness, this method is really once and for all. Liao Yongheng had already guessed that Mrs. Yongchangbo would make such a plan, and he looked at Yongchangbo with a sneer and said. She had the same idea back then, and she took my mother's life. It's just that the last time she asked for your original life, you covered it up for her. This time she wants your brother's life, so you will hesitate. “

After many years, the original partner who died early was mentioned again, and Yongchangbo looked away unnaturally.

"I've explained to you so many times, why don't you listen to me?" Yongchangbo weakly argued. "Your mother has always been in poor health, and she died after lingering on the sickbed for many years."

"Father, I'm not a child anymore, why did my grandmother take me to her yard to raise me after you married a newlywed, and my father still pretended to be stupid and stunned, don't you know?" Liao Yongheng's attitude towards Yongchangbo has long been cold. "Well, I didn't come back today to argue with you about these facts. Now that things have come to this point, I agree with her idea, it's time to send someone to see off the second uncle. ”

"Why even you?!" Yongchangbo looked at Liao Yongheng with some shock. "That's your second uncle."

"At this juncture, it's time for my father to make a choice. is to compensate the whole family for the second uncle, or to give up the second uncle to protect the Yongchang Earl's Mansion. Which is more important, my father should know in his heart. Besides, if the second uncle is escorted back to the imperial capital for trial, he doesn't know how many punishments he will have to endure in the prison of the Criminal Department. Even if the father thinks about the second uncle, he should give the second uncle a good time. Liao Yongheng looked at Yongchangbo and said. I know that the family has some people dedicated to these things, so it is better to do it sooner rather than later, and I ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

After saying that, Liao Yongheng got up immediately, no longer looking at the purple-faced Yongchangbo and left directly.

Liao Yongheng had no intention of staying in the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang, and after he left the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang, he got on the horse and went directly to his grandfather's mansion.

His maternal grandfather's family name is Tao, and Liao Yongheng's wife is his uncle's daughter-in-law, so Liao Yongheng has a closer relationship with his maternal grandfather's family.

got the news that he had returned to the imperial capital and came to the house, and the Tao family immediately came out to greet him when they heard the news.

"What are you doing when you come back at this time?" After the family dispersed one by one, Liao Yongheng was taken to the study by the two uncles for questioning. "I'm afraid that this case will be difficult for the Yongchang Earl's Mansion to get out, so you should be on duty and make a clear deal with them. I didn't have to pay myself for such a merciless person. ”

Uncle Yongchang really embarrassed the Tao family when he did things, and his sister-in-law died in the earl's palace for no apparent reason, and was hurriedly buried without waiting for their mother's family to come back from other places to see the last one.

Even the 100-day filial piety was unwilling to wait, and Zhang Honghang in the mansion married the daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe as the stepfamily.

"I know my uncles are thinking about me." Liao Yongheng said. "But after my mother passed away, it was my grandmother who blessed me to grow up safely. Not for anything else, just for my grandmother, I want to keep the title of Earl of Yongchang. ”

"But this time it's true." The eldest uncle of the Tao family said with a puzzled face. "It's really hard to do."

"Uncles, rest assured, I have already been to the Earl of Yongchang Mansion to see my father. I pointed out to him the only way out that might come in handy, and it was up to him to see if he could do it. Liao Yongheng smiled. But I thought my father would do it. ”

"But you're doing this, but you're helping the enemy." The second uncle of the Tao family not only hated Yongchangbo, but also hated Mrs. Yongchangbo, who occupied his sister's position and was unwilling to treat his sister's orphans under his sister's knees.

"No, my mother's blood debt I will one day have that woman pay for it in blood."

This night, in the palace of Earl Yongchang, the lights in Uncle Yongchang's study were lit all night.

In the early morning of the second day, several subordinates of the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang quietly left the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang through the back door with their luggage when it was dark.

Mrs. Yongchangbo, who got up early in the morning, watched the figures of those people leaving slowly disappear into the streets, but she was finally relieved.

And Yongchangbo, who had a pair of red eyes, stood beside Mrs. Yongchangbo, and watched those people leave without blinking.

"In the end, I didn't use my method." Mrs. Yongchangbo looked back at her husband's appearance and said with a few contemptuous sneers. "Why do you have to pretend that you don't want to when I mentioned it before?"

Yongchangbo didn't bother to pay attention to her sarcasm, raised his hand and rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, wiped away the tears left in the corners of his eyes, and turned his head back to the study.

And Liao Yongheng, who stayed in Tao Mansion last night, only raised his eyebrows slightly when he received the news from Yongchangbo, and then asked the person who came to report the news to retreat.

When the Tao family woke up at dawn, Liao Yongheng asked the two uncles to resign and leave.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Uncle Tao asked. "Are you sure everything is taken care of?"

"I only asked for five days off from Shangfeng, but if I leave today, I will not delay things if I go back all the way." Liao Yongheng said to the two uncles kindly. "I received news from my father that the people who were sent out to run errands in the early hours of this morning have already left the imperial capital. My goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue to stay in the imperial capital and wait for the news to come back. Besides, Manniang is still waiting for me to go back with her children at home. ”

Manniang is the name of Liao Yongheng's wife.

"Well, in that case, you should hurry back." The second uncle of the Tao family worked in the Ministry of Officials. "It would be best if this matter could be resolved safely. With your evaluation results, you will definitely be able to be promoted back in another three to five years. When the time comes, your family will come back, and we won't have to worry about you. ”
