Xu Xian nodded and said, “This Jin Tao is simply jealous!”
Liu Shimei sneered. “She knows that Du Gong has ill intentions towards me. With her unclear relationship with Du Gong, she will naturally be jealous of me.”
This matter had indeed broken through his understanding. Xu Xian sighed and said, “I see that Jin Xi and Jin Tao are still looking for you. Now that I’ve found out that you’re Miss Liu, I’m relieved.”
He thought to himself, no matter how bad her reputation was, she was still a daughter of an official and would be a Princess in the future. No matter what, how could Jin Tao do anything to her?
Liu Shimei glanced at the sky. It was almost completely dark, so he said, “How about this? You quit your job according to the situation. After you quit, go to the courtyard under the big pagoda tree in Four Horse Alley in the outer city and look for Old Qi who came to Zheng Medicine Hall to look for me back then. I’ve already spoken to him about your matter. If you go and look for him, he will arrange things for you to do.”
“Alright, I’ll go. Thank you, Miss Liu,” Since Xu Xian had agreed, there was naturally nothing to decline.
Liu Shimei smiled again and said, “My aunt is waiting for me to have dinner. You must have something to do at home. I won’t delay you for now. After you quit your job, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Young Miss, why are you so polite?” Xu Xian really did not expect that the dignified daughter of the Grand Chancellor, the legendary flower with eyes above her head, was actually so kind and humble.
It could be said that rumors could not be completely believed!
Liu Shimei chuckled and waved at him. “Goodbye.”
She turned around and brought Mo’er into the backyard of the Liang Residence.
After entering, Mo’er brought up what had happened just now, “Young miss, you should have told me about what happened to you, right? Aiya, it’s a good thing that you won’t work there in the future. Otherwise, how can 1 be at ease?”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips. “It’s already happened. It’s useless for you to say this. There would always be a chance to clean it up in the future.”
What she encountered was a problem that women often encountered in the workplace: workplace sexual harassment and unspoken rules!
In modern times, legal means were necessary, but here, there was no need!
In a feudal society, power was the most important. The Zheng Medical Hall was a private medical hall, Du Gong was a junior doctor, and she was an official. She would be the daughter-in-law of the royal family in the future. How could she let it go like this?
Mo’er thought about it and agreed, “It’s good that Young Miss has an idea in her heart.”
“But, when will that Mr. Zhong be able to be your bodyguard? With him around, there was no need to worry about such things!”
Thinking about how it would be quite eye-catching to have a top five martial artist as his bodyguard in the future, Liu Shimei smiled and said, “His body looks fine, but the residual poison in his body isn’t that easy to remove.”
Hearing her say that she was not in a hurry, Mo’er was absolutely convinced now. She said, “The Peony Banquet is on the ninth day of the lunar month. Young Miss still has to prepare her outfit!”
“Yeah, there is still time. When we go to look at the shop these few days, we can also buy some clothes.” Liu Shimei thought for a moment and said, “Bring Lingyao along.”
Mo’er immediately pulled a long face. “I heard that the people in the palace have prepared well for him!”
When this question was mentioned, Liu Shimei’s expression turned slightly cold, “He has an internal affairs manager who will make preparations for him. However, what else do you see on him other than the essential clothes?” “That’s true!” Mo’er said indignantly, “It’s obvious that someone from the Imperial Residence has pocketed the money and bullied His Highness for being stupid!”
Since her master had accepted such a fiance, she could only accept it. As time passed, she also started to protect her own.
Liu Shimei did not speak anymore.
She could not do anything about this now, but after she married into the family, it would all be her business!
