Of course, Liu Shimei knew that filial piety was very important in this era. She did not even know how many people were foolish in their filial piety.
Therefore, it was not easy for her to break off her relationship with Liu Fuyun. “Compared to me taking the initiative to leave, it would be better for my future if he chased me away. Even if I’m not afraid of my reputation being tarnished, I still have to consider the reputation of my grandfather, uncle, and brothers. Also…”
As Liu Shimei spoke, she turned her head and smiled at Huangfu Lingyao. “When I get married, my reputation will be closely related to Lingyao. So, even if 1 don’t think for myself, I have to think more for Lingyao and the Liang family.”
“Alright.” Although Liang Yi was verbally dissatisfied with Huangfu Lingyao, the Liang family was very protective.
Since Liu Shimei had already accepted Huangfu Lingyao, there was nothing they could not accept. Although it was a little regretful, at least Huangfu Lingyao treated Liu Shimei well, didn’t he?
They could only hope that if this fool could be cured and regain his consciousness in the future, he would not let their young lady down!
Therefore, the Liang family was not hopeful that Huangfu Lingyao could be cured. This was their private thought, and they did not dare to let Liu Shimei know.
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Liang Yi sent the two of them off the carriage and asked, “1’11 pick you up tomorrow?”
“Ninth Brother, are you afraid that my father won’t agree if 1 leave for a few days?” Liu Shimei asked with a smile.
“Yeah,” Liang Yi said with a smile. “But if 1 wanted to pick you up for a short stay, how could he not let me?”
Liu Shimei smiled. “Don’t worry. With our relationship now, there’s no need for me to report such matters. He can just care about his future Crown Princess daughter.”
“It’s still unknown whether she’ll be selected or not!” Liang Yi sneered. Now that Liu Yan’er’s reputation is too bad, do you think the other three are just pushovers? Even if Zhang Ge’s old miss won’t do anything, that Princess Ping’an…”
Ling Yi left the sentence unfinished. Liang Yi was a playful person. He knew about all the children of the aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital, so it was not surprising that he knew more.
Liu Shimei raised his eyebrows. She searched through her memories for Princess Pingan and immediately felt uneasy!
After bidding farewell to Liang Yi, Liu Shimei brought Huangfu Lingyao into the Grand Chancellor’s Residence through the side door.
Seeing that her expression was not good, Huangfu Lingyao asked in a low voice, “Wife, what are you thinking about?”
Liu Shimei glanced at him and did not hide anything from him. She said, “I was thinking about Princess Ping’an. She seems to be very hostile towards me.”
Of course, he was talking about the Host.
Huangfu Lingyao was stunned. “Did Wife often meet Princess Ping’an in the past?”
Liu Shimei replied, “You might not know, but 1 used to often participate in poetry gatherings, spring walks, gardens, and other gatherings.”
To put it bluntly, those gatherings were just socialites with high status.
The Host was famous in the Imperial Capital and could be called the number one socialite in the Imperial Capital. That was how her reputation spread.
She searched through her memories for the things that Princess Ping’an had done to the original Host. It was not too obvious. It was the kind that others could not see, but she could feel it.
This kind of hostility usually came from love rivals!
Since Princess Ping’an was also on the list of candidates for the Crown Prince’s Consort, and since Liu Shimei had lost the right to be the Crown Prince’s Consort, Princess Ping’an had not appeared. It could be seen that Princess Ping’an was secretly in love with the Crown Prince, Huangfu He.
If that were the case, from now on, she can no longer take the blame for no reason!
“Is that so?” Huangfu Lingyao pulled a long face. “What if she targets you again?”
“You’re the one who wants to go, but you’re also the one who doesn’t want to go. Lingyao, why do you change your mind more easily than girls?”
Huangfu Lingyao just looked at her without saying a word..
