After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 147: The Fish Wouldn't Take the Bait Anymore

The other grandsons thought to themselves, Youxiao was the most filial grandson as he brought the old lady happiness, while they "came from the trash".

Eldest Master Young was about to scold his son, but now that even his own father was scolded by his mother, he immediately pretended to be a quail.

Father, it's better for you to handle this personally since you are the more senior one in the family.

Old Master Liang had always been a little afraid of his wife.

Seeing that his wife was unhappy, he immediately changed the topic. "What kind of pleasure did he bring you? Let me take a look too." He decided to let this rascal go for now.

When the old lady heard this, she smiled happily and waved her hand. "Come, come. I'll teach you how to play. Mahjong is really fun." The old master felt disdain in his heart.

What is so fun about these broken wood blocks?

However, he still gave some benefit of the doubt and sat down. "Alright, I'll play too."

Once he sat down, his other sons and daughters-in-law jolly better not continue to play Mahjong.

Hence, Liang Youxiao joined the game.

He said to Fourth Master Liang, who also enjoyed playing as much as him, "Fourth uncle, come and play too."

Fourth Master Liang took his offer and sat down.

The other males in the Liang family couldn't say much and sit in as spectators.

Eldest Master Liang was getting angrier.

He looked at Liang Youxiao's unfriendly gaze and wished that he could drag his son out and give him a good beating immediately.

Liang Youxiao was already used to it.

He was thick-skinned and pretended that he didn't see it.

Then, he and his grandmother taught his grandfather and his fourth uncle how to play Mahjong.

After playing for quite some time, his grandfather was getting a hang of it.

He waved his hand at his sons who were still standing beside him. "You guys go back to your own courtyard to rest first.

"Oh right, I'm not feeling too well. I won't be going to the yamen this afternoon. My eldest son, help me apply for a leave of absence while you're there."

Eldest Master Liang uttered under his breath, when you were playing cards just now, you were so full of energy. You don't look like you are not feeling well.

He really did not expect that his father would be badly influenced by his son and refused to go to the yamen just to play more.

He looked at Liang Youxiao with a gloomy face and said, "Come to my courtyard in a while." Liang Youxiao immediately called for help. "Grandfather, grandmother, my father wants to beat me."

The old lady looked at her eldest son unhappily. "My good grandson finally returned. What are you trying to do?"

She even snorted and said, "You can try to touch one of his fingers and see what will happen." It was rare for the old master to speak up for Liang Youxiao. "My eldest son, let's forget about it this time. We'll deal with him when he makes a mistake in the future."

Eldest Master Liang was speechless, he wondered who was the one who said that Liang Youxiao deserved a beating.

The others were also stunned that he changed his stand so fast.

Then, the old master waved his hand at them in disdain. "Go, go. How are we supposed to play Mahjong with all of you standing here?" The others had no choice but to leave.

After they left, Fourth Lady Liang looked at First Lady Liang and said, "Sister-in-law, did

Youxiao send you a Mahjong set?

"If he did, I'll go to your courtyard to play in the afternoon."

Third Lady Liang smiled and said, "I'll go too."

Second Lady Liang added, "If this is the case, I'm joining too." First Lady Liang did not have any Mahjong set with her.

Just as she was about to decline politely, Liang Youxiao's entourage came over with a box. "Madam, this is a gift that the young master wants to give you." First Lady Liang immediately beamed up.

As expected, her youngest son was still her most filial child.

Hence, she smiled at the other madams and said, "Sure, you can all come to my courtyard to play Mahjong after breakfast."

Eldest Master Liang and the others were stunned.

Why were these ladies so hooked on it? Is Mahjong really that fun?

Because of Mahjong, not only did his son not get punished, but his mother and wife even rewarded him with many good things.

Other grandchildren of the Liang family couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

This bastard would always coax the old lady whenever he didn't do his work properly.

Liang Youxiao also did not go and look for Xi Rui and the others.

For the next two days, he played Mahjong with his grandparents.

Old Master Liang felt that playing Mahjong with Old Lady Liang was not thrilling enough. Moreover, he also felt that the wooden blocks weren't of high quality, so he got someone to make a Mahjong set from white jade.

The next day, the old master went to look for his old friends to play Mahjong.

Seeing that the young master had not left yet, his trusted aide could not help but ask, "Master, aren't you going to look for Young Master Xi?" He also wanted to watch the show!

Liang Youxiao leisurely sipped his tea. "What's the point of looking for him myself? Those who don't know would think that I'm trying to trick him.

"I've released the bait. Of course, I have to wait for the fish to take the bait itself." His trusted aide was stunned. "When did you release the bait?" Why didn't he know about it?

Liang Youxiao smiled smugly. "Haven't you seen my grandfather carrying his Mahjong set made from white jade and went out yesterday?"

Going out to play Mahjong with his old friend was just one of the reasons for doing so. He had purposely gone out to show off that his grandson had gone on a long trip to explore something fun for him and his wife.

This was his main intention.

His trusted aide thought to himself, seems like you've used the old master as the bait.

He wondered if the old master would break his young master's legs if he knew it.

Just as he said this, someone came to report that Young Master Xi and the others had arrived.

Liang Youxiao opened his fan and fanned himself smugly.

He proudly said to his trusted aide, "Look, the fish has taken the bait." The bigger fish would take its bait soon.
