“Lingyao!”
Liu Shimei shouted. The first person she thought of was her silly dog!
As expected of someone raised by her family. He was really good to her!
Huangfu Lingyao immediately reacted when he heard her voice. He turned around and saw her standing behind the door. Like a fierce husky, he rushed over and hugged her!
“Wife, where did you go? I brought food to look for you. I’ve been waiting for more than two hours! I thought they did something to you!”
He looked really nervous and anxious.
Mo’er also said, “That’s right, Young Miss. We were all very worried about you.”
“I was delayed by something.” Of course, Liu Shimei would not talk about her private matters in front of Liu Fuyun. She patted Huangfu Lingyao’s back and said, “Lingyao, let go of me first.”
The silly dog refused to let her go, so it was naturally impossible to talk to him about propriety, justice, and shame.
In fact, she did not want to say that to a silly dog like him.
She sighed and said, “I can’t breathe.”
This move was indeed useful. Huangfu Lingyao let go of her and looked down at her from head to toe. He asked, “Are you alright?”
Worried that she would give him another bear hug, Liu Shimei quickly said, “I’m fine. It’s just that I haven’t eaten yet and I’m hungry.”
Huangfu Lingyao felt a little relieved. He glared at Madam Zhang before turning around and asking, “She didn’t hide you?”
“Why do you think she hid me?” Liu Shimei laughed out loud.
In return, Liu Fuyun and Madam Zhang glared at him fiercely!
Madam Zhang had an inexplicable look on her face. “Liu Shimei, we can’t care less about you now. You are the Young Miss of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, yet you don’t even bring a servant girl with you. How dare she stay outside for an entire day? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?”
Liu Fuyun’s face was ashen as he said, “Don’t forget, you haven’t married yet! If you don’t abide by your womanly principles and marry into King Dun Yu’s Residence, I can’t control what you do to let down King Dun Yu. However, you are still the Eldest Daughter of my Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Your words and actions should give respect to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence!”
“Ha!” Liu Shimei sneered. “My actions and words should give respect to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence? Then may I ask, Grand Chancellor, who was the one who ruined my reputation? Do I still have a reputation in the Capital City?”
“You…” Liu Fuyun really could not win against her, so he could only force her to say, “Only women and villains are difficult to raise!”
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Since he had already left, Madam Zhang naturally would not stay and ask for a snub. She also left.
“Eh, the Grand Chancellor and Madam Zhang aren’t arguing with you anymore?” Mo’er asked in surprise.
Liu Shimei pursed her lips coldly and said, “They’ve suffered such a huge loss, yet you’re still bickering with me? What if 1 get hold of something? The first time, they use money to coax me. The second time, they presented a scapegoat. If it happens a third time, they won’t be able to coax me!”
Mo’er laughed and said, “That’s true.”
Before Liu Shimei could speak, her silly dog said, “Wife, I’m coaxing you. Is it good?”
Hearing this, the coldness on her face dissipated. She looked up and smiled at him. She even reached out and pinched his face. “Our Lingyao is the best!”
“Let’s go eat first!” Huangfu Lingyao held her hand and said, “I was afraid that you would be hungry when you came back, so I asked someone to heat up the food for you!”
Mo’er also said, “That’s right, Young Miss. You’ve been gone for too long.”
It felt good to have someone care about him. Liu Shimei was touched. She did not say it out loud and only explained her whereabouts, “Zhong Lang has returned, but he was poisoned by five different poisons. I studied it with Old Qi for a long time, but we didn’t notice that it was already the hour.”
Of course, this was an explanation to Mo’er, but the two of them were too busy talking to notice the flicker in Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes..
