Chapter 238 -239: Framed for Corruption
Shao He sat in the chair, reflecting on the cutthroat nature of noble family rivalries, and couldn’t help but think that the royal family’s intrigues might be even worse, which only strengthened her resolve that she must never reveal the true identity of her child.
Life had once again settled down for Shao He. Since leaving the Princess’s Mansion last time, she had thought that Chu Yu would come to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, there had been no news from him.
Just when she considered that Chu Yu might have given up the fight for the child, Liang Weishuang, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, suddenly came looking for her.
Shao He asked in a cold and detached tone, “Is Miss Liang feeling unwell?”
“I, I have a favor to ask of you.”
This time, Liang Weishuang’s attitude was different from before. She lowered her head, her expression somewhat miserable, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.
“What is it?” Shao He did not want to get overly involved with her, and had no desire to save such a fool.
“Could you take the child to see Chu Yu?” Liang Weishuang’s hands pressed nervously on the table, her eyes begging.
Shao He snorted coldly, “Why should I?”
“Chu Yu has been falsely accused of embezzlement and is likely to be exiled soon. I beg you, please take the child to see him. It’s probably his last wish,” Liang Weishuang pleaded again.
Shao He was utterly speechless at her lovesick foolishness. Initially, Chu Yu had slandered and insulted her in front of so many people, even accusing her of having affairs with others, just to dissolve their engagement.
Such deeds would probably be unacceptable to anyone, but Liang Weishuang still harbored love for Chu Yu and even came to beg Shao He on her behalf; it was truly hopeless.
“Fine, I’ll go. Now leave,” said Shao He, not wanting to waste more words with her.
The reason she had agreed was to witness Chu Yu’s plight and see his current wretched state for herself.
Far from leaving, Liang Weishuang continued, “Why not directly let your child take the Chu surname and inherit the title of the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion? Once I’m married to him, I will treat your child as my own.”
“Are you delusional? Why should my child take another surname? And with Chu Yu about to be exiled, how can you marry him?” Shao He was baffled by her thoughts, unable to comprehend how she could say such things.
“No, no, it’s all true. Please think about it. The child has no future with you, but if he could inherit the Marquis of Pingnan’s title, he would become the Princely Heir, with a bright future ahead of him.”
Liang Weishuang stood up excitedly, hoping Shao He would give it some serious consideration.
Shao He shook her head in resignation and had Qingxia show her out.

“Miss, do you really intend to take the young master to see Marquis Chu?” Qingxia asked upon returning, puzzled.
“Of course I’m going. Why wouldn’t I?” Shao He’s eyebrows raised slightly, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Qingxia almost spoke but then hesitated, “Miss, you’re not going soft, are you?”
Shao He turned and stared at her for a long while before looking away and saying, “When have I ever gone soft on others? To be soft-hearted towards others is to be cruel to oneself.”
“Then, Miss…”
“Now that he’s fallen to this state, I certainly want to go and offer my congratulations, and to make things even harder for him.”
Shao He’s hatred had never lessened; mere exile wasn’t enough to quell the resentment in her heart. She wanted to ensure his journey to exile was exceptionally memorable.
Qingxia instantly understood and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing her mistress would never let Marquis Chu off the hook.
Early the next morning, as Shao He was about to head towards the prison, Pei Huaian’s carriage was already waiting outside.
“Shall we go together?”
Pei Huaian’s slender fingers lifted the carriage curtain, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Shao He had no intention of dealing with him, but Pei Huaian continued, “If Chu Yu sees you and me together, he might just die of anger, don’t you think?”
His words reminded Shao He, and she boarded the carriage without intending to leave.
“Are you having me followed?”
Beyond this reason, Shao He couldn’t fathom why he would know she was visiting Chu Yu in prison today.
“I would never resort to such despicable methods against you. I heard that Liang Weishuang went to the medical clinic to find you and guessed you might know Chu Yu is in prison, so I waited especially for you,” Pei Huaian said anxiously, not wanting her to misunderstand.
Satisfied, Shao He nodded, then, recalling Liang Weishuang’s words about Chu Yu being framed, felt that she didn’t seem to be lying; she looked up and asked, “Were you the mastermind behind Chu Yu’s embezzlement charges?”
Although there was no evidence pointing to it, considering the conflict between her and Chu Yu, if Chu Yu had been arrested, it was undoubtedly his doing. But…
“I merely fanned the flames. Chu Yu brought this outcome upon himself,” Pei Huaian explained again.
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Shao He believed he was not lying. She had no interest in court politics but couldn’t help asking, “What do you mean by that?”
“Chu Yu is arrogantly overconfident. He took on a case of embezzlement that involved the Second Prince, Pei Chengye.”
At this point, the situation became clear, no need for further questions. The true embezzler had to be Pei Chengye, and Chu Yu must have discovered something. In order not to expose himself, Pei Chengye made Chu Yu the scapegoat.
But this was his just deserts; a scoundrel deserved the grist of his own mill!
