Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Certainly, they were going to investigate, but five years was a long time. Back then, Liu Shimei was still young, and there were not many things she knew. Moreover, she had blocked her inner self for a while after losing her brother, unwilling to hear about any of these sorrowful past events.
So, there were no leads from her!action
As for Liu Fuyun…
She decided to take it slow and set it aside for now. Since someone was determined to guide her to investigate Liu Quan’s death, it would eventually come to light.
She would wait.
The next morning, they boarded a carriage heading for the Liu family’s ancestral tomb.
Before they even left the inner city gate, they saw someone hastily catching up. He ran while panting heavily, shouting, “Wait, my wife!”
Using the same old formula, with the same familiar taste, Liu Shimei quickly signaled to Lu Ying, who was driving the carriage, “It’s King Dun Yu. Stop and wait for him!”
Brushing aside the carriage curtain, ignoring the curious onlookers on both sides of the street, Liu Shimei waved to Huangfu Lingyao, saying, “Lingyao, hurry up and get on!”
Eldest Young Miss Liu, infamous overnight, and the Silly Second Prince, who had become the laughingstock of the town. That fool was making a scene in the street, but that woman did not seem to mind at all. She even gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, showing no displeasure. She said tenderly, “Why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, all sweaty!”
She took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
He stood beside the carriage door, and she crouched on the carriage shaft to conveniently wipe his sweat.
The silly puppy was very obedient, panting heavily as he said, “I went to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to find you, heard that you had left for a while, and hurriedly caught up. Luckily, I did!”
“I see,” Liu Shimei sighed inwardly.
In the inner city, carriages were not allowed to travel too fast. Given the physical abilities and agility of this silly dog, catching up was simple.
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday? Today, we’re going out to visit the tomb.”
Liu Shimei thought it was not a good idea to take the silly dog with her to visit her brother’s grave. After all, tomb-sweeping was not an especially auspicious activity, and they weren’t married yet. It wouldn’t be convenient for him to perform the ancestral rites for her brother.
But Huangfu Lingyao obviously did not think the same way. “I know! After I got back, I asked the housekeeper what we need for tomb-sweeping. Look, the housekeeper prepared this basket for me. It’s just that the old eunuch was too slow. It took him half the day to hand it over to me, and that’s why I was delayed. Hmph, luckily, I caught up with Wife. If I hadn’t, I would’ve scolded him when I got back!”
Seeing him looking as if he had suffered a great injustice, Liu Shimei could not help but smile and said, “Alright, alright, come up. Let’s not block the city gate and inconvenience others.”
The silly dog’s eyes brightened instantly. He placed the basket on the carriage and climbed aboard.
He just knew that his wife would never, ever, ever abandon him!
Mo’er sighed and said, “Eldest Young Miss, it doesn’t seem quite appropriate for an unmarried man and woman to visit the grave of the Eldest Young Master.”
That had been Liu Shimei’s original intention, but now that they were here and had prepared items for ancestral rites, would it be right to send them away?
She turned her head and saw her dog looking at her eagerly. Those small eyes occasionally shot envious glances at Mo’er but then quickly turned away, fearing that Liu Shimei would get angry.
Send him away?
Impossible!
She made a decisive decision, “It’s fine. After all, we’re getting married within the year. I’ll take my fiance to visit my brother. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
The corner of Mo’er’s lips twitched. As expected, whenever she encountered King Dun Yu, the Eldest Young Miss would compromise, yield, pamper, indulge, and have no bottom line!
When they arrived in front of the tomb, Liu Shimei froze.. “What’s going on here?”
