Chapter 6 The Liang family brothers and sisters value harmony [Thanks to the leader "Dui Dui Rabbit" for the reward! ]

Ever since grandpa died in the Battle of Tianxia and father and uncle died in the Battle of Yunxiang, there have been no adult males in the Liang family, and only mother Li Caiyun is the pillar of the family.

There is no falsehood in the saying that a family is full of loyal heroes.

It is inevitable to have hardships in the process of growing up. The three children have formed a tacit understanding since childhood that they should not tell their mother in advance. Because Li Caiyun's unyielding fighting character is scary in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of her own children, she is very distressed.

So whenever they were wronged or encountered any difficulties, the three siblings would gather together to hold a small meeting to see if there was any way to deal with it themselves. Over time, this has become a habit for the three siblings.

"What exactly happened?" Liang Yue asked seriously.

As his younger brother and sister were kind-hearted, they rarely had conflicts with others. So when something like this happened, his first reaction was that someone was maliciously bullying Liang Peng.

"I was originally safe and sound in the academy, but recently a woman said for no reason that she liked me." Liang Peng frowned and recounted.

"Isn't this a common thing?" Liang Xiaoyun said.

Liang Peng is handsome, elegant and easy-going. Compared with his peers, he is more mature and intelligent. Since he entered school at the age of seven, little girls have been expressing their affection for him.

His evaluation of this has always been just four words... affecting academic studies.

"But this girl is different. She has a good appearance and family background, and she also has a group of supporters." Liang Peng said, "Among them is the official's son. Ever since he found out that the girl likes me, he has been causing trouble for me again and again."

"Didn't you explain it clearly to him?" Liang Yue also asked.

"I told him long ago that I didn't like that woman at all and I clearly rejected her." Liang Peng sighed, "But after he heard it, he got even angrier."

"Hmm..." Liang Yue and Liang Xiaoyun looked at each other, thought about it, and understood this emotion.

It's sad enough that the goddess you love but can't get likes someone else. But it's even more infuriating that the person she likes still disdains her.

"I have tolerated it many times, but today he teamed up with a few friends to snatch my book basket and burn it in public. All my classmates saw this scene. If I don't fight back, I will have no place in the academy in the future." Liang Peng said calmly.

"Yes, I can't bear it anymore. There is no need to endure it anymore." Liang Yue nodded.

The academy is certainly an ivory tower far away from the outside world, but it is also a wild land where laws are difficult to enforce. Once everyone finds out that you are weak and can be bullied, everyone will come up and bully you for fun.

"But he was with a lot of people at the time, so I didn't say anything for the time being. Instead, I waited until after school, and then I had a fight with him who was alone at the entrance of the academy." Liang Peng continued calmly.

"But you don't look like you've been in a fight?" Liang Xiaoyun looked at Liang Peng.

If you fight with someone, you should at least get some dust on your body.

"In this fight... I put a sack over his head from behind, used a brick as a weapon, and hit his head with it many times," said Liang Peng.

"Did he fight back?" Liang Xiaoyun asked.

"He tried, but failed." Liang Peng gestured, "I spent a whole class studying grappling techniques in advance and pinned his arm."

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Liang Yuecai said: "Third brother, according to the way we, the Imperial Capital Guard, handle cases, this cannot be called a fight...it should be called assault." According to Liang Peng's description, there was no self-defense at all in this fight, it was all one-sided intentional injury.

"Did anyone see you...fighting with him?" Liang Xiaoyun asked.

"There were probably several hundred people passing by at the time." Liang Peng said, "I thought about whether I should avoid the crowd before taking action, but my original intention was to seek revenge and establish my authority, so it was not easy to avoid them on purpose."

"We were too careless about this." Liang Xiaoyun said.

"In fact, I have thought about how to deal with the aftermath. I always rank first in the college exams, but he has always been poor in his studies. I have always been respectful to teachers and classmates, but he is notoriously stubborn and difficult to tame. This time, he was the one who provoked me first. Even if a fight broke out, the teachers should have sided with me." Liang Peng said, "But there was one thing I didn't expect..."

"Afterwards, a classmate told me that his father was Zhen Changzhi, the director of the Ministry of Works, a sixth-rank official of the dynasty."

"How could it be?" Liang Yue asked, "Aren't all the people in your Nanshan Academy common people from the south of the city? At most, there is a businessman or an official, so how could there be a sixth-rank official? If he didn't send his child to Jiandao Academy, he should at least send his child to Wen'antang, Guozijian or one of the more famous academies in Longyuan City, right? What is he doing in Nanshan?"

"It was because I had not thought of this that I made this mistake." Liang Peng shook his head, seeming to regret it a little: "I inquired again, and found out that Zhen Changzhi was a well-known in the six ministries for being incorruptible. Because he was too honest and often charitable, his family was struggling to make ends meet, so they sent him to the ordinary Nanshan Academy."

Obviously, what he regretted was not taking action, but not investigating the other party's family background before taking action.

"How is that person now? Is he seriously injured?" Liang Xiaoyun asked again.

"I don't know. He was carried home." Liang Peng replied.

"That looks pretty serious..." Liang Yue was a little worried. He was a sixth-rank official. Even if he was from the Ministry of Works, he had countless connections. It was definitely not something a mere Imperial Guardsman like him could commit fraud against.

"Third brother, you need to go and apologize." Liang Xiaoyun said immediately, "The sooner the better."

"Xiao Yun is right." Liang Yue also agreed: "The most important thing at this time is to gain their understanding. Even if they provoked us first, we are weak after all, and we are not particularly right at the moment."

"Even if the other party wants to hit, scold, or insult you, you must endure it and settle the matter no matter what." Liang Xiaoyun said: "If you still have resentment in your heart, we can wait for an opportunity to retaliate later. But for now, we must keep our attitude to the lowest level."

"You are right." Liang Peng nodded.

The three siblings were all clear-headed people and reached a consensus immediately.

"If you want revenge later, I recently learned a medicine that is made of two non-toxic medicines mixed together, but it can produce the effect of eliminating a person's yang energy and increasing yin energy." Liang Xiaoyun said calmly: "This medicine is colorless and tasteless. If he takes it, he will unknowingly lose all his male abilities and become a hermaphrodite."

"No." Liang Yue quickly stopped him, "Drugging someone is too easy to leave traces, and it's just a temporary conflict between classmates. It's too heavy to ruin someone's life... I just know a way to set fire without anyone noticing. If you want to take revenge, you can use it to punish him."

"Brother is still kind." Liang Xiaoyun praised.

"There's no rush for revenge. After all, this time we've had a give and take. If the other party is willing to settle this peacefully, then I won't have any grudges against him anymore." Liang Peng said, "Mother always taught us..."

The three brothers and sisters said in unison: "Harmony is the most precious thing."

"Then I will write a letter of apology personally, stating what happened and expressing my apologies... At the same time, I must also tell the truth. Since his father is a well-known honest official, he must value his reputation. If he knows that his child was at fault first, he should not make it too difficult for me." Liang Peng speculated.

"That makes sense." Liang Yue agreed, and then he put his hand on his chin and said, "In an office like the Ministry of Works, which is known to be lucrative, he still has a reputation as an honest official. This Zhen is quite impressive."
