The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

I slept well all night until dawn, when it started to rain.

Thunder roared, and raindrops as big as beans hit the ground and tents, making crackling sounds, waking up everyone who was sleeping.

When Du Changchun heard the noise, he turned over and sat up immediately.

Qian San came in to report.

"Boss, it's really raining heavily."

Du Changchun nodded, his face solemn.

He quickly dressed and went downstairs, giving orders quickly.

Let everyone pack their luggage quickly, find a way to avoid the rain, and wait until the rain stops before leaving.

The camp was in chaos and confusion.

The Xiao and Tao families on the south side of Xiaohu seemed to be at ease.

The place they chose was on the south side of the lake.

There happens to be a hill with higher terrain here.

After the Tao family moved in, in addition to setting up tents, they also made several awnings with oilcloth and placed them on the donkey carts.

This way people can sit on the donkey cart, which is much more comfortable than staying directly on the ground.

Shu Xin arranged for the younger ones and the two elders of the Tao family to stay in the carriage to rest.

At this time, Tao looked at the rain outside and felt very grateful.

"Xin'er, it's a good thing we listened to you and moved overnight. Otherwise, we would have been caught in the rain by now."

Tao was filled with fear and looked at Shuxin with gratitude in her eyes.

During the exile, there was a lack of medical care and medicine, and it was easy to catch a cold if caught in the rain.

In severe cases, it can almost kill a person.

Shuxin smiled and didn't say much.

It was because she was very worried.

This hill is the highest among the surrounding areas and is used temporarily as a shelter from the rain to prevent flooding.

But this hill has not yet left the range of that mountain.

In other words, if a landslide or mudslide occurs, it will still be very dangerous for them.

The reason why Shu Xin didn't go to Du Changchun to tell him about the mudslide was that she was worried that he wouldn't believe it.

She couldn't leave here with the Tao family without permission, otherwise she would be a fugitive.

Therefore, she was particularly worried.

I just hope the rain won’t last so long. Once it stops, they will leave.

As a result, the rain showed no sign of stopping and was getting heavier.

In just one hour, water accumulated in the low-lying areas at the foot of the mountain.

The water was up to my ankles and it looked like it was no longer possible to stay at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, Du Changchun had no choice but to lead everyone to the hill where the Tao and Xiao families were located in the rain.

After all this trouble, they were all caught in the rain and looked very miserable.

In a tent of the Liang family.

Liang Xiuyuan squatted there, looking dazed.

She was soaked to the skin and shivering.

Seeing this, Xiniao was afraid that she would get sick, so she hurriedly took out a clean coat from her luggage and persuaded her to change.

But she shook her head and refused.

"Miss, you'd better change your wet clothes quickly, otherwise you will get sick if you get caught in the rain."

Xiniao advised earnestly.

When Liang Xiuyuan heard Xiniao's words, she had an idea.

Get ill?

If I were really sick, could I...

So she didn't bother to change her wet clothes, but turned around and took out a gray vest from her bag.

This waistcoat was given to her by her mother Qin when they saw her off at Baibuting, in order to keep her warm on the road.

Before being exiled, Qin had asked to leave the family and return to her parents' home.

This is also the reason why her father, Mr. Liang, dislikes Liang Xiuyuan and her brother.

Thinking of this, Liang Xiuyuan curled her lips and revealed a sarcastic smile.

Xiniao didn't understand what her young lady was going to do, but she didn't dare to ask more.

Then Liang Xiuyuan took Xiniao and went to the tent where Old Master Liang was in the rain.

Old Master Liang was also caught in the rain and looked miserable.

His health was already weak, and after being caught in the rain, he soon developed a high fever.

When Liang Xiuyuan went over, he was curled up in a thin quilt and shivering.

The waistcoat Liang Xiuyuan sent over just came in handy.

"Grandfather, are you okay?"

Seeing Old Master Liang like this, Liang Xiuyuan couldn't bear it and her face was full of sadness.

But what she was more worried about was that Old Master Liang would not be able to survive.

If grandfather were to pass away like this, it would be a huge blow to their Liang family.

This is because there is no one in the next generation and younger generation of male family members of the Liang family who can stand on his own.

Her father, the master of the Liang family, was not an official, but was vain, lustful, and extremely licentious.

Not to mention her elder brother, although he has the title of scholar, he is weak in character and has no opinion of his own.

As for my second and third uncles' families, there is no need to mention them. The male relatives were indulging in pleasure, and not even one of them passed the imperial examination.

This is also the reason why Liang Xiuyuan tried so hard to catch Xiao Beiwang.

If Old Master Liang passed away and went to Nanzhou, the Liang family's situation would only get worse.

By then, her father would certainly sell her to Yicai Pavilion as a dancer in order to make their lives easier, just like in her previous life.

When she thought of Yicai Pavilion, she couldn't help but shudder.

She absolutely could not go down that old path again.

Even though there was unrest in the capital later, her father saw hope of returning to the capital and paid money to redeem her.

But that experience became a shame for her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have only been given the position of a talented person after entering the palace.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind.

Old Master Liang struggled to open his eyelids and saw that Liang Xiuyuan had not left yet, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He motioned to Liang Xiuyuan to help him up.

Liang Xiuyuan did as she was told.

After Old Master Liang sat down, he asked Butler Li to guard outside and not let anyone get close to the tent.

Then, Old Master Liang looked at Liang Xiuyuan.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Liang Xiuyuan didn't say anything immediately, but just asked about her grandfather's health and asked if he had taken any medicine.

But Old Master Liang glared at her unhappily.

"It doesn't matter whether I take medicine or not. I know my own body."

Old Master Liang's tone was faint and vague.

Liang Xiuyuan couldn't help feeling scared and started crying.

Tears rolled down his eyes and Old Master Liang sighed.

"Stop crying, let's talk about business."

Liang Xiuyuan understood Old Master Liang's intention and knew that he must be struggling.

So she told him that she knew Xiao Beiwang would eventually ascend the throne, and said that she planned to marry Xiao Beiwang no matter what and tie the Liang family and the Xiao family together.

Old Master Liang stared with his eyes wide open and gasped for breath.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

He had just thought about it for a long time, and combined with Liang Xiuyuan's recent reactions, he realized that Liang Xiuyuan was not making it up.

If this is true, the Liang family would not have to fall into decline after his death. They could have relied on Xiao Beiwang and Liang Xiuyuan to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Old Master Liang became excited.

He was one of the founding fathers. He had some friendship with Zhenbei King Xiao Ming, otherwise he would not have publicly advised Emperor Xuan and was convicted.

He knew in his heart that the Xiao family was not to blame, but that he was in a position that blocked the way for certain people.

But his Liang family has no successor, so what can he fight for?

That was why he chose to retreat while the storm was at hand, so that the descendants of the Liang family could at least save their lives.

He had long given up the idea of ​​fighting, but the words of his eldest granddaughter rekindled his hope.

Liang Xiuyuan looked at her grandfather quietly and saw his expression changing constantly.

She wasn't in a hurry either.

Anyway, she knew her grandfather would listen to her.

Because the Liang family had no choice.
