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

Realizing that he did not die, Old Master Liang smiled bitterly.

Maybe Liang Xiuyuan was too nervous and too weak.

Therefore, he did not die of complete suffocation, but was in a state of suspended animation.

If Liang Xiuyuan had not left and continued to cover his mouth and nose, he would have definitely died.

Although he luckily managed to survive, Old Master Liang still felt sad.

His current situation is worse than being dead!

Thinking of this, tears welled up in his eyes.

He thought back to the first half of his life, and remembered that he had no successor now, and his descendants were as selfish as jackals, tigers and leopards.

He suddenly felt sad.

It took him a while to come to his senses.

He stood up with difficulty and made a rope out of the bed sheet to hang on the top of the tent.

Then he tied the rope into a loop and put it around his neck.

Because this tent was set up temporarily, the roof is not high.

Old Master Liang could reach it just by standing up and reaching out.

This also means that if he hanged himself like this, he could survive as long as he stood up.

However, he just knelt down and let the rope pull on his neck.

He said nothing and persisted with gritted teeth.

Until he stopped breathing completely and his hands dropped down.

He just ruined his life like that!

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, illuminating the world.

Butler Li, who had finally escaped, saw this scene as soon as he opened the curtain of the tent.

His eyes were bloodshot and he screamed in fear.

"Old Master!"

This sound alarmed everyone in the Liang family.

Liang Xiuyuan, who had just changed her clothes and returned to the medicine furnace, her hands trembled violently when she heard the voice.

The spoon in his hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Xiniao asked hurriedly.

Just now, the young lady just asked her to go to Butler Li to get medicine, and asked her to spend more time with Butler Li, because the young lady had something important to say to the old man.

She didn't doubt it and did as she was told.

After a while, the young lady came back in a daze.

She was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

Now seeing the lady's expression.

Is it...

Xiniao was confused and uncertain.

Liang Xiuyuan reached out and wiped away the tears from her face.

"Let's go and see, Grandfather, he..."

She was filled with fear, worry, and a deep sense of panic.

Therefore, by the end of the conversation, even the intonation of the sentences was gone.

However, Xiniao just thought that her young lady was doing this because she was too worried about the old man's safety.

She nodded, helped Liang Xiuyuan up, and the two of them rushed towards Old Master Liang's tent.

When they got there, Old Master Liang's body had already been put down and covered with a white cloth.

When Liang Xiuyuan learned that the old man had committed suicide by hanging, she was so shocked that she almost screamed out loud.

She reacted quickly and covered her mouth.

She clearly saw her grandfather die, how could he have committed suicide?

She had a lot of questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Butler Li knelt beside the old man's body, his face full of self-blame.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xiniao, who couldn't help but shudder.

Liang Xiuyuan noticed the gaze of Butler Li and was terrified.

She was thinking about how to excuse herself when she saw her father, Mr. Liang, coming forward.

"Li Zhong, what's going on? Haven't you always been by the old man's side? How could he let him..."

His tone was cold and stern, as if he was coming to call for an explanation.

When the elders in the family choose to die in this way, it is silently saying that their descendants are unfilial.

If this gets out, their children will be criticized.

Uncle Liang planned to push the blame directly onto Steward Li, so as to take the opportunity to control him and inquire about Old Master Liang's personal matters.

Liang Xiuyuan was stunned.

She was secretly happy and temporarily relieved.

Li Zhong remained silent, his face full of sadness.

It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the old man's death.

The old man was kind to him and let him serve him for decades.

The master and the servant have a very close relationship.

But now that the old man has ended up like this, he feels regretful and blames himself.

When Mr. Liang saw Li Zhong like this, he felt very proud.

He kept up the good work.

"You are such a wicked servant. You don't serve your master wholeheartedly and neglect your duties! We in the Liang family treat you well! Are you worthy of the trust that the old master has placed in you?"

The head of the Liang family angrily scolded Li Zhong.

It seems that the eldest brother is going to put the blame directly on Li Zhong.

The Liang brothers knew the purpose very well.

"Don't be anxious, brother. Listen to what Li Zhong has to say first."

Mr. Liang stepped forward and said to Mr. Liang.

Then he looked at Li Zhong with gentle eyes.

"Li Zhong, don't be afraid. You have served the old man for decades. Everyone can see your dedication. Even if you have no merits, you have worked hard! We brothers will let you die peacefully for the sake of the old man."

Mr. Liang has a round face and looks very kind.

He is so gentle that people who don't know him would think he is a kind person.

The eldest master of the Liang family snorted coldly when he saw this. How could he not know what his second brother was thinking? He just wanted to take the opportunity to win over Li Zhong.

Li Zhong originally felt guilty for leaving rashly, which led to the old man's suicide.

Hearing what Mr. Liang said, his face became extremely ugly.

However, neglecting one's duty and not taking good care of the old man is a serious crime.

He can't bear it alone.

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to everyone in the Liang family.

"Li Zhong knows that he failed to take good care of his master, which led to such a disaster. He deserves death!"

"But, someone came to find me and deliberately led me away!"

Butler Li gritted his teeth and told the truth.

He hadn't figured out the reason just now, but now he came to his senses.

"Who is that person?"

The three Liang brothers asked the question at the same time.

Li Zhong thought about it, looked at Xiniao, and pointed at her.

"It's Xiniao!"

is her?

When the Liang family members present heard this, they began to talk about it.

Xiniao panicked.

She glanced at her young lady.

Liang Xiuyuan gritted her teeth. She wanted to take the opportunity to abandon Xiniao because she knew too many of her secrets.

However, she was more afraid that Xi Niao would make a loud noise and expose herself.

So she took a step forward.

"Uncle Li, are you doubting me? Xiniao followed my orders to find you and asked you to get the herbs according to the prescription. Is this reasonable?"

Liang Xiuyuan questioned Li Zhong calmly. At this time, she had calmed down.

Her face was stern, and the look she gave Li Zhong was so chilling that Li Zhong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"I……"

He was suddenly speechless.

When did the Third Miss become so powerful?

I can’t tell why, but I just feel a creepy feeling.

In fact, Xiniao came to him at that time to get medicinal herbs.

Li Zhong was in charge of Old Master Liang's personal belongings, so naturally he kept the medicinal materials, gold and silver.

It’s just that Xiniao took too long to find him.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"That's true, but Xiniao insisted that the herbs I gave her were not right, which delayed the process for a long time."

Li Zhong argued with reason.

When everyone heard this, they realized something was wrong.

However, they did not expect that Liang Xiuyuan would kill Old Master Liang.

I just think that she must have been talking to Old Master Liang secretly, trying to coax the money out of him and keep it for herself.

The three brothers of the Liang family, especially those from the second and third branches, immediately disagreed.
