Chapter 99: Drowned by the Exclamation Marks Above Her Head

Liang Yi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Then you can go back.”
If Liu Shimei rebuked Madam Zhang, it would show that she had no respect for her elders. No matter what, Madam Zhang was her stepmother. It was indeed unreasonable to contradict her stepmother and the mistress of the house.
However, Sixth Madam Liang’s combat strength was so strong that it was different when the same words came out of her mouth!
Madam Zhang did not know that Liu Shimei was listening outside. She had only been sitting here for 15 minutes and was already scolded by Sixth Madam Liang inside and out. How could she still sit still?
She could not be bothered to explain so much and said, “Could it be that Sixth Madam still intends to detain the eldest daughter of our Liu family?”
Sixth Madam Liang raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes slightly. “Detain? You can’t say that! Grand Chancellor’s Wife, this granddaughter is willing to stay at her maternal grandfather’s house for a short time, even if it’s for a year and a half. It’s not wrong to take her anywhere! Shimei will stay in the Liang Residence’s best courtyard. We will give her the most gorgeous clothes and the most beautiful jewelry. Our Old Master will send all the good things that he usually can’t bear to eat to Qionghua Courtyard. She’s recuperating in the Liang family, and we’ve never controlled her whereabouts…”
At this point, the smile on her face completely disappeared and was replaced with a questioning tone. “The Grand Chancellor’s Madam has to be responsible for her words. If not, we’ll have to go to the Sage to reason things out!”
Liu Shimei believed that Madam Zhang’s heart had already been flooded by the exclamation marks above her head: !!!
It seemed that she was really not needed here.
However, she could still watch the show.
She smiled and continued watching.
Madam Zhang was speechless, but Madam Liang had no intention of giving up. “Grand Chancellor’s Wife, I hope you can understand that Shimei was beaten up in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and suffered injustice. Our Old Master personally brought her back to the Liang family to recuperate and pamper her like a precious pearl! This matter hasn’t been decided yet, and you’re rashly bringing her back. What if she gets beaten up again? How can we be at ease?” She finally got to the point!
Did Madam Zhang dare to guarantee that she would not be beaten up again?
She did not dare!
It was already difficult for them to swallow their anger for a little girl who had lost her value. This girl was also a troublesome one. Who knew if she would provoke them again and again? Who could guarantee that nothing would go wrong?
She could only use Liu Yan’er’s broken leg as an example. “Sixth Madam, have you not asked Shimei? She broke our Yan’er’s leg. She admitted it herself!”
“Oh.” However, Sixth Madam Liang said righteously, “But we’ve also learned that it was Second Young Miss Liu who brought a group of maids to her courtyard to cause trouble. They started a fight and accidentally injured her! The small squabbles between the daughters had escalated to the use of the family’s punishment ferule. Grand Chancellor is also muddle-headed!”
Was that not so?
It was your daughter who ran into someone else’s courtyard to cause trouble and ask for a beating. The fight between the daughters had to be so intense that they had to use the ferule. As a father, the Grand Chancellor was biased. As a stepmother, Madam Zhang was touted as the ‘most poisonous stepmother’!
Madam Zhang’s face was full of colors. One thing was certain – – she had come today to pick up Liu Shimei, but she definitely would not be able to!
Since she could not get Liu Shimei, why should she, a dignified first-grade Imperial Wife, stay here and suffer the anger of a woman who was not even the mistress of the house?
She immediately stood up and said, “Since you are not willing to let her go, it seems that this madam has made a wasted trip today. Farewell!”
How could Sixth Madam Liang be easy to deal with? She immediately said, “We wealthy families all have a sense of dignity. The Grand Chancellor’s Wife must be careful with what she says. What do you mean by we are not willing to let her go? It’s clearly you who refuse to give an explanation!”
Madam Zhang ignored her etiquette and walked out.
Sixth Madam Liang did not try to persuade her to stay. She walked out and said, “I hope that the Grand Chancellor will personally give an explanation next time!”
Seeing Madam Zhang come out from the room, Liu Shimei retreated..
