“He will send someone to pick you up.” Liu Shimei answered without hesitation.
Liang Yi nodded. “That’s true. He’s the Grand Chancellor. He can’t let go of that dignity!”
“But… I won’t go back until he comes personally!” Liu Shimei’s lips curled up.
Liang Yi’s eyes lit up when she heard what she said. “My brothers and I have thought about it and we all think the same! Before this, Eldest Brother had even told Eldest Uncle that if he sent a servant to pick you up, we would just beat them up. If that Madam Zhang comes to pick you up, we’ll let Sixth Aunt deal with her.”
Liu Shimei’s Sixth Aunt’s appearance appeared in his mind.
Sixth Aunt Madam Jiang was also not old, about 24. years old. The Liang family did not ask about the daughter-in-law’s background. They only asked if their son liked her and if the other party’s character was good. Madam Jiang was the daughter of a blacksmith. She had been forging with her father since she was young. She was strong, had a rough voice, and was especially talkative!
She was not the kind of person who could represent the Liang family to attend the banquet of the noble ladies, but she was the most suitable person to deal with Madam Zhang!
Liang Yi continued, “My mother didn’t want to at first, but Eldest Aunt made the final decision and let Sixth Aunt win this opportunity. She couldn’t help but beat her chest and stamp her feet! Because of this, she even rolled her eyes at me!”
“Second Aunt is still like a child, she likes to join in the fun of everything,” Liu Shimei said with a smile.
This Ninth Young Master Liang was the youngest son of Second Aunt Yin.
Second Uncle was the one with the most children. He married a wife in his early years, but unfortunately, his body was weak and could not last long. He passed away not long after giving birth to Second Brother.
Because Second Uncle was always out on the battlefield, the children at home needed someone to take care of them. Therefore, the family unanimously decided to let Second Uncle remarry and marry a strong and healthy person.
After this Second Aunt came, she gave birth to three more sons: Fourth, Ninth, and a six-year-old, Fifteenth.
Just as she was thinking about Little Fifteen, she heard Little Fifteen’s voice coming from outside.
“They say you’re my brother-in-law, but why do you look about the same age as me?”
“Who said that? I’m taller and stronger than you!”
“But I’m six years old this year!”
“I’m already… No, how old am I?”
It was Huangfu Lingyao!
This silly puppy did not even know how old he was this year!
Liu Shimei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing the faint smile on her face, Liang Yi asked thoughtfully, “Sister, do you like that fool?”
The ‘fool’ he said was different from the others who mocked King Dun Yu for being a ‘fool.’ Although the Liang family was not very satisfied with Huangfu Lingyao as their son-in-law, since Liu Shimei had already acknowledged him and was willing to raise him as his son, they could only accept him.
However, he had already noticed several times that whenever Huangfu Lingyao was mentioned, Liu Shimei would always have a smile on her face.
There would always be a hint of… pampering?
“I like him!” Liu Shimei smiled calmly. “It’s not his fault that he has become like this. Even if the world is full of malice towards him, he is always as innocent and kind as Little Fifteen. Why is he not likable?”
“Do you really think he’s a snotty person like Little Fifteen?” Liang Yi’s lips twitched.
Liu Shimei shook her head with a smile. “Not really. No matter what, I’m bound to him for the rest of my life. Instead of being unhappy and unwilling to accept it, it’s better to discover his strengths. He’s willing to listen to me, and that’s enough.”
“Then have you ever considered the future?” Liang Yi was unmarried, and his little sister was also an unmarried woman. It was not appropriate for him to say it too clearly: If you spend your entire life coaxing this ‘old child’, how can you stand in the royal family if you don’t give birth to one or two children?
In the Huangfu family, a woman without a son had no status! And if you have a child with that fool, you’ll have another problem to worry about in the future!
Before Liu Shimei could answer, Huangfu Lingyao came in.. “Wife, I’m here!”
