Chapter 611: Bully You? They Would Have to Kill Me First
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei naturally understood the importance of the situation.
Du Gong had hired assassins to kill, but they were not members of his organization; the four men in black were ordinary killers. However, when Du Gong faced the guillotine, the people from his organization intervened! Clearly, Du Gong was valuable!
Therefore, having damaged an important piece on the opponent’s chessboard, Liu Shimei was bound to become a thorn in their side!
Huangfu Lingyao was, of course, the most worried about his wife’s safety. He immediately grabbed her hand and said, “Wife, you shouldn’t go out on calls anymore! You’re always running around outside, and I’m so worried!”
His face was both foolish and sincere.
The others were used to his appearance and didn’t find it strange. Liang Sheng said, “Changge, Shimei’s safety is in your hands now. It’s a heavy responsibility!”
Changge clasped his fists and said solemnly, “Master, rest assured. As long as I’m alive, I will protect Miss Liu with my life! If anyone wants to harm her, they’ll have to step over my dead body first!”
Liang Sheng nodded solemnly.
Liu Shimei,
This oath was a bit frightening!
Although she was moved by such loyalty, she didn’t really like this blind devotion of ‘dying for the master’.
But coincidentally, right after Changge finished speaking, her silly puppy immediately expressed his stance too. It was as if he wanted to stick to her, loudly proclaiming, “Wife, I will protect you! Anyone who dares to bully you will have to kill me first!”
“You…” Liu Shimei shook her head in helplessness. “Please don’t say such ominous words, okay? We should all live well, cherish life as much as possible. Respect life, hmm?”
She said this to her family’s dog and also to Changge.
“Shimei is right,” Liang Sheng turned to Changge and said, “It’s good that you’re willing to be loyal to Shimei, but don’t recklessly throw away your life. Although Fifth Brother is not much older than you, he truly regards you as his younger sister. If anything happens to you, he won’t take it lightly.”
The Liang family didn’t have daughters, but their adopted daughter was still a daughter; they couldn’t help but value her life and death.
Changge lowered her eyes and replied, “Yes, Changge understands.”
Liang Sheng turned to Liu Shimei again. “I will inform Father about this matter. Tonight when Big Brother and Second Brother come back, we can discuss it together.”
They hoped more than anyone else to avoid war. But if it came to war, they understood their duty and couldn’t resist the fate of having to fight the enemy.
If there were any disturbances in the Western Wei Kingdom, Fourth Liang and Fifth Liang, their family members, would be the first to face the consequences.
For a moment, everyone felt a sense of melancholy.
Even the usually boisterous Silly Second Prince didn’t create a ruckus. He stared at his wife, tightly holding her hand.
He knew she felt overwhelmed, and this was his way of comforting her.
Madam Wang sighed and said, “We must be cautious, but… life must still go on. Shimei, it’s almost noon. Please stay and have lunch. I’ll instruct the kitchen to prepare more dishes.”
“Sure,” Liu Shimei agreed readily.
After Madam Wang left, Liu Shimei remembered Mu Jiangli’s words and turned to Liang Sheng, informing him about the differences between Zheng Medical Hall and Du Gong.
After listening, Liang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, “Although this Medicine Lord is mysterious, he doesn’t seem like someone who enjoys deceit. In any case, even if Du Gong’s reputation is tarnished due to his actions, Zheng Medical Hall will hold you responsible.”
Huangfu Lingyao remained silent, watching his wife to see what decision she would make. He had already instructed Li Xin to implicate Zheng Medical Hall; there was no hurry.
Regardless of whether there would be a war between Great Shu and Western Wei, the battle between the Zheng Medical Hall and the Fusheng Pavilion was already set in stone!
