Chapter 322: Considerate for Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhong Lang was indeed Zhong Lang, he always asked questions about the crux of the problem!
He was an old man in the martial world, and he was one of the top five ‘See You Never’ Mr. Zhong. He had to worry about the conflicts between these girls ever since he decided to be Liu Shimei’s bodyguard.
How did he end up becoming a family retainer?
Liu Shimei pursed her lips and said, “There shouldn’t be any issues with Miaozhen. I can’t just befriend anyone blindly. Though I do get along well with her, I carefully considered our friendship before forming it. As for Miao Linglong…”
“What is it?” Mo’er asked, “Miss, do you also find something peculiar about Miss Miao? She hasn’t had any contact with you in the past three years, and suddenly she comes bearing gifts! Not to mention, attempting to win your favor with a box of snacks, doesn’t it seem too cheap?”
Liu Shimei shook her head and replied, “It’s not just her; there are others who haven’t had contact with me for three years. However… the fact that she came bearing just a box of snacks to win me over raised my guard against her.”
With the original owner’s temper, she was too cold and aloof. It was impossible for her to have a good friend. That was not the main point!
The crucial point was…
“I think Miss Zhang and Miss Miao should have a good relationship.” Lianqiao added, “Yesterday, when we returned from Spring Garden, Miss Miao and Miss Zhang were in the same carriage!”
Liu Shimei let out a sigh, saying, “Be cautious, 1 feel that Miss Miao is a lot shrewder than Miaozhen. It’s just a gut feeling!”
To be more accurate, she was cunning!
However, Miao Linglong had to hide her shrewdness. Why?
The most crucial reason is still-
Was Yu Wanqing’s snakebite really an accident? If so, why did Liu Shimei detect a medicinal fragrance on Miao Linglong that could excite snakes when she visited with snacks that day?
She did not have any evidence and could not say it out loud.
“Then, Eldest Young Miss, are you going to see Madam Miao?” Mo’er asked again.
Liu Shimei shrugged, “Since 1 agreed, and this is my profession, I will definitely go. However, I’ll wait for them to invite me again. Let’s focus on securing the herbal business and opening the medical hall.”
She then turned to Qi Yang and asked, “Master, what about the doctor I wanted?”
Qi Yang replied,” I’ve spread the word. They will probably arrive at the Imperial Capital in the next few days. 1 heard that they have an appointment at Fulai Inn. ou can choose someone when the time comes. Be mentally prepared; they all came because of your reputation, and whether you can win them over depends on you. It’s best to recruit them into the family; they’ll be more useful as insiders.”
“Yes, I know.” Liu Shimei agreed.
After showing respect to her master, Liu Shimei went to the Liang family. She spent over an hour in the study discussing matters with Liang Wei, Liang Yong, and Liang Xun, three generations of the Liang family’s leaders. Afterward, she came out, and they never mentioned what they discussed during that time. The Liang family members were all quite taciturn and did not ask.
After that, Liang Wei gave Liu Shimei a large sum of money and asked her to open a medical hall.
Of course, Liu Shimei refused, “Grandpa, it’s not like I don’t have money.” “Where did you get the money? Isn’t your money your mother’s dowry? Keep it for yourself!” Liang Wei said sternly.
Madam Wang also said, “That’s right, Shimei. It’s not that we look down on King Dun Yu, but he is who he is and won’t change. With a substantial dowry, when you go to the royal family, you won’t be looked down upon. Even if King Dun Yu doesn’t have any accomplishments, with this dowry, you’ll live well, and you won’t have to worry about him being bullied.”
Liu Shimei was touched.
They were considerate not only of her but even of her future son-in-law who had not even married her yet.
With a rich dowry and marrying such a wife, even that fool Huangfu Lingyao would feel proud. Although he might not realize it, others would think highly of him due to his powerful wife. A powerful wife’s family was also a strength, deterring anyone who might dare to bully him.
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Liu Shimei held the silver notes, thinking to herself, Well, fine, fine. Refusing is almost impossible. I might as well accept them, and perhaps I can repay them later?
After bidding farewell to the Liang family, she returned to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. As soon as she entered, she was called over by Liu Fuyun..
