The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 47 Tells The Huang Family

Liang Siya took a quiet sip of her tea, then she placed her cup on the table. Although wrinkles have adorned several sides of his face, but the elegance and prestige that the woman showed was able to make people amazed.

“I'm sure you've heard about what happened in the palace a while ago,” said Liang Siya in a deep voice. The woman's eyes were directed forward, looking at some of her family members present in the living room in turn. “Huang Wushuang has offended the Queen Mother Shen.”

Huang Liqiang sat down beside Liang Siya in silence. It seemed, in this case, he decided not to interfere and only intended to give a response when necessary.

Meanwhile, Huang Yade and Huang Jieli were sitting side by side with their wives, and Huang Miaoling and his two little sisters occupied the seats opposite their brothers. Huang Qinghao was not there because he was busy delivering Wang Wuyu to the border.

No one was surprised by the news delivered by Liang Siya. It seemed, after all the things that had happened, they were no longer astonished by the chaos that Huang Wushuang was able to produce. Only the lethargic expressions and worries were displayed on the faces of some people.

Huang Yade threw a glance at Huang Miaoling, but the girl simply fell silent and did not heed the gesture the man was conveying. Finally, the First Young Master of the Huang Family turned his gaze back towards the elders.

“What's with that woman?” shang Meiliang asked who looked annoyed. “Don't he realize his actions affect the Huang Family as well?!” It seemed, her pregnancy made the woman's emotions a little easily swayed.

However, Shang Meiliang's worries were not wrong. Huang Wushuang's mistake must have affected the Huang Family, intentionally or not.

“Calm down, Meiliang,” said Huang Jieli.

Just a moment ago, when Huang Miaoling was busy conversing with his grandfather and the Great Master of Qing, a message from the palace addressed to Liang Siya arrived. Given that Liang Siya had a good relationship with Empress Dowager Shen, no one felt strange about it.

However, who would have guessed that shortly after that happened, Liang Siya immediately gathered everyone in the living room. As it turned out, the letter sent by Empress Dowager Shen contained no good news, but bad news.

Liang Siya closed his eyes for a moment before replying calmly, “It seems, the issue spread among the people will become a reality.”

“Ah ..” Situ Yangle knew what Liang Siya meant. “Wushuang ... will be dethroned from her position as crown princess?” He frowned when he saw Liang Siya nod his head. “It's bad. In this case, where did the face of the Huang Family go?”

As everyone was busy worrying about what was about to happen, Liang Siya caught the oddity. Two people who were usually always involved in family discussions at that time fell silent.

“It is rare for the two of you to shut up like this,” chirped Liang Siya making the attention of the entire room turn on the two figures who were being stared at by the old woman. “Isn't the time for you guys to have a voice has arrived?” his insinuation towards Huang Miaoling and Huang Yade.

Hearing Liang Siya's way of speaking, Huang Liqiang immediately understood that his wife had known something. His eyes shifted to his two grandchildren. ‘What else now?’

Huang Yade stared at Huang Miaoling, but the girl looked back at him. Finally, the man sighed and turned his gaze to his grandfather and grandmother.

“Because Dad is not here, I'll just go straight,” Huang Yade started. “Huang Wushuang can get to this point .. it's all because of my encouragement and Miaoling.”

“What?” Huang Liqiang frowned. “What do you mean?!” snapped it. “You mean to say that you pushed your own sister to get to this slump?!”

Liang Siya touched Huang Liqiang's shoulder, calming the man down. He looked at Huang Yade. “Continue.” His tone was cold and commanding.

Huang Yade was silent for a while, then in one breath said, “Huang Wushuang is Li Hongxia's daughter.”

For a few moments, the whole room became quiet. Empty gazes were thrown from various directions at Huang Yade, making the man gulp down due to the tension formed.

“You ... just …. What did you just say?” Huang Liqiang asked as he had regained his voice. “Wushuang ... what?”

Liang Siya's reaction looked much larger. The old woman was wide-eyed, then leaned her back against the back of the chair behind her. He left his manners and did not care about his less authoritative posture. The woman's right hand touched her throbbing temple.

Huang Miaoling smiled bitterly, knowing that everyone had guessed the entire story. This is a good time to explain everything in front of his family, right?

Huang Miaoling's gaze pointed at Huang Junyi. Among all the people who were now in this room, he was most worried about his sister's feelings. If Huang Miaoling really told him everything he had done to Jingxiang and Huang Wushuang, would his sister be okay?

Because his gaze met the sight of the Big Brother, Huang Junyi understood what Huang Miaoling had in mind. To be honest, he had already harbored various allegations regarding the relationship of his mother and fourth brother in the matters that befell the Huang family. However, Huang Junyi did not care about it. The most important in his eyes was Huang Miaoling and Huang Miaoling.

Capturing the determination of Huang Junyi, Huang Miaoling began, “I was the one who pushed Huang Wushuang to the palace.” Then, he added, “Therefore, should I also drop it from there.”

Huang Miaoling told him everything, how he trapped Huang Wushuang and Wang Zhengyi, pushed Mingyue to Song Qiaolan, and also involved Empress Dowager Shen and Empress Mingmei. He did not miss a single bit of important things, regardless of his resentment based on the grudges from his past life.

The longer, the atmosphere inside the room became increasingly gloomy. They could not believe that other than Huang Yade, Huang Miaoling was able to cast so many nets within Shi kingdom, even in Wu kingdom. Coupled with the boost of her new status as Mingwei Junzhu and also the encouragement of the Candidate Husband, it was no wonder that the girl had such sky-high courage!

Liang Siya was frowning and finally said, “So, you deliberately let Huang Wushuang get involved with Li Guifei and Wang Wuyu .. for the sake of encouraging Empress Dowager Shen to act?”

Forcing Empress Dowager Shen to get rid of Huang Wushuang, then encouraging Yang Defei to excommunicate Wang Wuyu. Next, Huang Miaoling's target was to forcibly cut off Wang Chengliu's path of success with Emperor Weixin's hands!

Shang Meiliang and Situ Yangle glanced at Huang Miaoling, they still could not believe that their brother-in-law was capable of becoming someone so terrifying. In the past, Huang Miaoling was just a young girl with her ideals who wanted to become a warrior. Now, not only did she manage to become a warrior, she had become a master behind the scenes!

Huang Hanrong looked at his third brother with sparkling eyes, not bothering about Huang Miaoling's abomination. In his mind, he only knew that his third brother had managed to surpass the First Brother in terms of strategizing to take down the enemy. It's just so awesome!

Huang Jieli and Huang Liqiang could only sigh deeply. They had no right to reprimand Huang Miaoling.

As part of the military, the two men knew clearly that without Huang Miaoling's intervention even once, war would surely ensue. Not only that, the war will happen in a more bloody situation!

Now, because of Huang Miaoling's intervention the war that occurred was only a small-scale war. There was no involvement of other kingdoms and the war area was narrowed to the capital only, only the nobles would really feel the battle directly.

Huang Miaoling nodded his head to reply to his grandmother's question. “It's true.”

“Can I conclude that Young Master Liang knows this?” liang Siya asked suddenly, making Huang Miaoling a little confused about the purpose of his grandmother asking this.

“Ya,” replied Huang Miaoling honestly. “Dia knows.” Although not all.

Hearing his grandson's answer, Huang Liqiang sat down, ‘Tak wonder the man locked Ling’er now.’ He was eager to shake his head and sigh. ‘This girl can reverse the kingdom if she continues to be allowed to roam at will!’ Then, the Grandfather wondered inwardly, ‘The expulsion of Wang Wuyu has occurred and the lulling of Wushuang just needs to wait for time. All that was left was Li Guifei and Wang Chengliu, right?’

Huang Liqiang's mind floated on his conversation with Huang Miaoling who was cut off just a moment ago. The man closed his eyes to some, letting the Wife take over the conversation in the living room.

When he was ready, Huang Liqiang spoke up, “Ling’er,” called him to the Grandchild. “I've previously been reluctant to ask you this. However, I think now is the right time.”

Huang Miaoling stared at Huang Liqiang who looked doubtful. “Grandpa, say.”

Huang Liqiang's eyes emitted a deep worry. “Do you intend to push someone onto the throne?”
