485 He would be crazy to do that

A few days later, Liang Mingyu arrived in Heyang County.

Then, he heard his people who stayed here report the recent events.

He was completely dumbfounded after hearing that.

He really didn’t expect the princess consort to do such a stupid thing.

In the past, his impression of the princess consort was that she was cold, fierce, and ruthless.

She could express her displeasure to his father however she wanted to.

As for his mother, Secondary Consort Hua, she would even find fault with her from time to time to punish her.

No matter how excellent Secondary Consort Hua was, she would obediently give in to the princess consort in front of her.

She would kneel down as punishment if she was instructed to or stand behind the princess consort and serve her like a maidservant for the entire day.

No matter what trouble Liang Mingmin had caused outside, even if she had killed someone, the princess consort would have someone settle it.

It was also because of this that made him feel that the princess consort was the most powerful and awesome person in the entire Prince Jin’s residence, other than his grandmother and father.

But now, she had been defeated by Xiao Hanzheng and his mother the moment they met.

If he were to meet Shi Qingluo, he would be in an even worse state.

So the princess consort was actually tyrannical in her home, but when she went out, she was just a paper tiger?

While he scolded silently that the princess consort for being so stupid to expose her weakness, he couldn’t help but gloat in his heart.

It was true that in Prince Jin’s residence, the princess consort was definitely the most hated person among the illegitimate sons and daughters.

They had all been punished by the princess consort for various reasons, and their own mothers had often been tortured until a layer of their skin was peeled off.

The number of his father’s concubines that was killed by the princess consort couldn’t be counted with two hands.

If her own mother didn’t have some survival capabilities in the backyard, then it would be difficult for her to even stay alive.

He had once seen with his own eyes his half-younger sister born of a concubine accidentally provoking Liang Mingmin.

In the middle of winter, the princess consort thrown his half-sister into the cold lake.

Because the illegitimate daughter’s mother was not favored, and she was timid, she did not dare to approach his father for help, and definitely did not dare to trigger the princess consort.

This also delayed the time she was saved.

She was still breathing after being rescued, but she had a high fever that night.

Most importantly, his father didn’t even look at her and didn’t punish the princess consort.

His father treated all these children the same.

Only the capable ones survived. If they can’t even protect themselves, they can’t blame others if they lose their lives.

The next day, the princess consort continued to eat and chatted and laughed with Liang Mingmin.

At that time, he was extremely disappointed, but at the same time, he was glad that his mother was Secondary Consort Hua.

From then on, he had an unspeakable fear of the princess consort.

But now, such a thought was completely shattered.

It turned out that the princess consort was nothing more than this!

After Liang Mingyu finished reading the news, he had just sat down for a while when his attendant ran in.

“Crown prince, the princess consort wants to see you.”

Liang Mingyu took a deep breath. “Alright!”

Then, he went to the princess consort’s courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw his stepmother sitting at the head of the table with an unpleasant expression. He bowed. “Greetings, imperial mother!”

Then, a cup of hot tea flew toward his face.

Liang Mingyu tilted his head to avoid the cup without hesitation.

If this happened in Prince Jin’s residence previously, he would definitely not have dared to do this.

He could only let the cup hit his face.

He had to endure it even if the skin on his face was burning red.

He had experienced it before.

Seeing that Liang Mingyu actually dared to dodge, Ruan Songling’s face darkened. “Who gave you the guts to dodge?”

Liang Mingyu seemed to tremble instinctively. Then, he remembered what his father had said when he left Prince Jin’s residence.

“I’m the crown prince of Prince Jin’s residence, not a servant,” he said coldly as he stood up.

“My consort mother is trampling on me. Is this because you’re dissatisfied with my royal father’s decision to make me the crown prince?”

Ruan Songling didn’t think that Liang Mingyu would dare to talk back to him. This had never happened before.

She reached out and patted the table. “How dare you!”

Liang Mingyu suppressed his palpitations and looked at her. “Why did you call me here, imperial mother?

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

This also made Ruan Songling quite angry.

Did this damned place bring her bad luck?

Those outsiders had dared to talk back, and now even Liang Mingyu, who had always been suppressed by her, dared to talk back.

She couldn’t help but touch her stomach. If it wasn’t for the fact that she wasn’t expecting a son after giving birth to a daughter, Liang Mingyu wouldn’t have had the right to be so presumptuous.

Then, she thought of what her daughter had said to her two days ago.

If she could find a husband, she would persuade Prince Jin to change his daughter to a crown princess.

Just like her daughter had said, if a dandy like Xi Rong could become a Marquis, then her daughter was also worthy of being a crown princess.

She believed that Prince Jin would agree to her request since he loved her and doted on his daughter so much.

Zhuo Zheng was indeed a good candidate. He could make her daughter happy, and the key was that his family background was not notable, so he was easy to manipulate.

As she thought about this, she found Liang Mingyu even more unpleasant to the eye.

However, he wouldn’t be the crown prince for long.

After she returned to Prince Jin’s residence in Northern City, she would go to Prince Jin to ask for another person to be the crown prince.

Now that her subordinates had been caught and locked up in prison by Xiao Hanzheng, she couldn’t get anyone to catch Liang Mingyu and whip him.

“Stop, I need you to do something,” she said with a sullen face.

Liang Mingyu was actually quite nervous.

He had been taught a lesson by the princess consort many times since he was young.

There were a few times when he would have died or be handicapped if it wasn’t for Secondary Consort Hua.

He would have instinctively felt fear towards the princess consort.

However, when he heard that she was not going to punish him as usual, the fear in his heart was completely broken.

It turned out that the princess consort was really a paper tiger.

Then it was a joke that he had always been so careful and tolerant in the past.

No wonder his father was unhappy with him.

“Imperial mother, what do you want me to do?” he asked.

“Get someone to set a fire in the backyard of the county government,” Ruan Songling said. “It’d be best if Mdm Kong and Xiao Hanzheng could be burned to death. Even if they can’t be burned to death, it’s good that they would at least freak out.”

She really couldn’t take it lying down.

However, there was no one around her that she could use.

That was why she had been waiting for Liang Mingyu to come.

Although her daughter had already written a letter to Northern City, she still wanted to deal with Mdm Kong and his son first.

Liang Mingyu remained silent.

The princess consort’s brain is damaged quite badly.

She had already given Xiao Hanzheng such a big piece of evidence to file a complaint and send it the capital.

Now, she wanted him to set the fire.

If this matter was exposed, Xiao Hanzheng and his mother would not die, and he would become enemies with Xiao Hanzheng.

If Xiao Hanzheng and his mother were dead, and Shi Qingluo was on the way back, she would also take revenge.

Moreover, after setting the fire, regardless of whether anyone died or not, as long as they found out that he was the one who did it, those in the county town would probably be keen to eat his heart.

In the future, wherever he went, he would be treated the same way as Liang Mingmin was now.

He would be crazy to do that.

He immediately refused. “Imperial mother, when I came here, my father kept emphasizing that I should be on good terms with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife. So I dare not follow your order.”

Ruan Songling was angered again. “Bastard, if I tell you to do it, then do it. I will explain to the prince.”

Liang Mingyu laughed coldly in his heart.

If this happened in the past, of course he would believe that the princess consort could settle it, but now he knew that his father would no longer indulge her.

Thus, he shook his head decisively. “Imperial mother, please forgive me as I would not disobey my imperial father’s wishes.

“Why don’t you write a letter back to my father? If he agrees and orders me, I’ll immediately do it.”
