Chapter 276: Her Information Network Is Too Lousy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Speaking of which, would a fool like the Second Prince dote on his wife like this? Just because Guan Ruping said a few unpleasant things about Liu Shimei, he wanted to kill Guan Ruping?
Liang Sheng had never liked to speak in public. If he had not been called out by his sister-in-law, Wang, he would not have come.
Naturally, the diplomatic spokesperson’s job was handed over to Liang Yi, the smiling tiger. Liang Sheng looked at Liu Shimei and asked in a low voice, “Shimei, are you okay?”
Even though he was Liu Shimei’s uncle, he was still too young. Huangfu Lingyao still felt a sense of danger. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Shimei’s hand. He used half of his body to block Liu Shimei’s body and said, “Seventh Uncle, I will take good care of Wife!”
Liang Sheng was speechless.
Liu Shimei was speechless.
The onlookers were speechless.
“Then what exactly is going on?” Liang Sheng raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask.
Zhang Miaozhen, who was standing not far from Liu Shimei, found it funny.
She knew that with Liu Shimei’s identity, if she were to answer this question, she would be suspected of complaining to the elders in the family, and it would be very embarrassing. She gently explained, “Young General Liang, the situation is like this…”
She briefly explained the situation.
There was a reason why she called him ‘Young General Liang’.
Everyone in the noble circle of the Imperial Capital knew that the Liang family had two ‘Old Seven’. One was their uncle, and the other was their nephew. His uncle was General Liang, and his nephew was the Seventh Young Master Liang.
This Miss Yao from Grand Secretary Zhang’s hometown was known as the ‘Twin Beauties of the Imperial Capital’ when she was with Liu Shimei. When Liu Shimei was alone, she was the number one socialite. However, just because Zhang Miaozhen was relatively low-key did not mean that she could not compare to Liu Shimei.
Liang Sheng naturally recognized her. He bowed slightly and said, “Thank you, Miss Zhang.”
Then, he turned to look at Liang Yi.
On the other side, Liang Yi’s smile turned bloody after she heard the whole story. “Oh, it’s fine if you call my future brother-in-law an idiot, but you still dare to scold my sister?”
Everyone knew that the Liang family was a troublemaker.
Even though Liang Yi looked like the kindest person and was usually smiling all day, no one knew if she was a flower or a poisonous snake behind her warm smile. Hence, he was given the title of the ‘Smiling Tiger’.
Guan Ruping really did not expect that Liu Shimei, whom she thought was a stray dog, would actually have the Liang family’s protection.
Her information network was so lousy!
“I heard that the Minister of Rites is preparing to retire and return to his hometown. He will promote one of the assistant ministers to His Majesty.” Although Liang Sheng was a military officer, he knew about the matters of civil officials.
He only raised his head slightly, and the meaning behind it was already very clear. Everyone looked at him.
Guan Ruping’s face, which had just turned red from being pinched, suddenly turned pale. “Young General Liang, this is a matter between Liu Shimei and me. Please don’t raise it to the family!”
To think that she was coughing so badly just now that she wished she could die. After being warned, she could actually speak so clearly.
After calling Liu Shimei’s name, Liu Shimei could not hide behind everyone like an obedient baby. She sighed and said, “Miss Guan, I think you have misunderstood. I am too lazy to argue with you. One had to know that the words and actions of any noble daughter represented the family behind her. I originally thought that the daughter of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites wouldn’t be so rude. Who knew that you were the daughter of the Minister of Rites! No wonder you’re so domineering!”
She was right.
Guan Ruping had always been timid. Recently, it was very likely that her father would be promoted. It was inevitable that she would become arrogant. Coupled with Miss Li and the others fawning over her, she was so proud that she forgot her appearance. She wanted to step on Liu Shimei and Huangfu Lingyao to gain a sense of superiority!
Unexpectedly, she kicked an iron plate!
