Chapter 158: I’m Afraid of Pig-Like Teammates
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the end, Liu Fuyun managed to turn the tables. The blame fell on Madam Zhang and Liu Yan’er, but this Grand Chancellor was still a good official who could distinguish right from wrong. He gained the image of loving his daughter and being upright!
It could only be said that the game between father and daughter was evenly matched. If Liu Fuyun did not have a wife and daughter who held him back, he might not have lost!
However, it was also because of Madam Zhang and Liu Yan’er’s presence that Liu Shimei won!
Wasn’t this the so-called ‘not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates’?
The theft in the backyard of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence revealed the ugly face of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Although Madam Zhang had been spared from prison, her reputation had taken a dive from then on.
Although Liu Yan’er did not have any evidence to prove that she was the one who harmed Liu Shimei, the news would spread like wildfire. Even if she did not, it would be said that she was. It was hard to say if she would be able to be chosen as the Crown Princess in the future!
Such a theft case attracted the attention of all parties. Some people suffered losses, and naturally, some people benefited from it.
For example, the other three candidates for the Crown Prince Consort at the same time! What kind of response did the families behind them make in order to defeat Liu Yan’er? Would they really not use this incident to completely intensify the conflict and make it bigger?
This was for later, so there was no need to mention it now.
As Liu Fuyun was being beaten up, Liu Shimei, as a ‘filial daughter’, naturally had to stay by her father’s side. As a ‘good wife’, Madam Zhang also sobbed by the side.
However, no matter what, after this matter, Liu Fuyun and Madam Zhang did not dare to touch Liu Shimei for the time being!
Because they finally had a comprehensive understanding of Liu Shimei’s combat strength!
After the case was dismissed, the person who showed naked joy on his face was Huangfu Lingyao!
The silly dog ignored Madam Zhang’s crying. He beamed and danced. “Wife, you don’t have to be beaten anymore. That’s great! You’ve been beaten up so many times. Every time I see you, my heart hurts!”
Liu Shimei had a helpless look on her face as she said gently, “Alright, Lingyao, no matter what, it’s my father who took the blame. 1 feel bad enough. Stop talking, okay?”
The silly dog was very obedient and clingy. He hugged her arm and rubbed against it, saying, “Wife, did I perform well today?”
“Yes, our Lingyao is the best in the world!” Liu Shimei massaged her temples.
“Then, are there any rewards?” he asked again.
Liu Shimei,
She recalled the time she promised him a kiss, but it ended up being so ambiguous. She did not dare to blurt out a reward now. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “What reward do you want?”
Huangfu Lingyao pouted. Seeing that her eyes were full of resistance to kissing, a smile flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and said, “1 want… Wife, come with me for the Spring Outing!”
“An outing?” Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Huangfu Lingyao nodded. “I heard that all the young masters and noble ladies in the Imperial Capital were invited to go on Spring Outings. Didn’t you go there often in the past? I’ve never been there before, so can you bring me along to play, Wife?”
“All the young masters and noble ladies in the Capital City?” Liu Shimei looked suspiciously at Madam Zhang, who was sobbing on the other side.
Madam Zhang’s expression stiffened, and she hated her to death. However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she had no choice but to pretend to answer, “I received the invitation for Spring Outing, but after thinking about it, 1 realized that they were all young masters and young ladies who had yet to be engaged. Since you were already engaged, 1 didn’t tell you.”
“Oh, 1 see.” Liu Shimei nodded and asked, “Then do 1 have the qualifications to participate?”
What could Madam Zhang say? She could only say, “The invitation was sent by the higher-ups, and there’s a copy for you. 1’11 give it to you when 1 get back!”
Liu Shimei turned to face Huangfu Lingyao and said gently, “You heard it too. 1 have an invitation too. I’ll bring you to play!”
“Alright, alright!” The silly dog immediately clapped!
