Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu Lingyao struck while the iron was hot, saying, “Wood Ear, if you don’t tell me, how will I know how to make Wife happy? She’s your mistress, treats you so well. If she’s unhappy, can you bear it?”
It made sense. Everyone knew how much Liu Shimei adored King Dun Yu. They also understood the need to reciprocate the kindness to the Eldest Young Miss.
Succ.u.mbing to Huangfu Lingyao’s persuasive tactics, Mo’er finally spilled the beans about everything that had happened at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence that day.
While she spoke, Huangfu Lingyao lowered his long eyelashes, concealing his thoughts. He followed Mo’er’s words attentively, expressing anger where appropriate, excitement when needed, and hurling curses when necessary. Occasionally, he interjected with questions on crucial points…
Finally, every detail of the day’s events was laid out.
After dismissing Mo’er, Huangfu Lingyao was left alone in the room. His expression, once calm, now darkened uncontrollably!
True, his wife had won a decisive victory today, employing brilliant strategies and achieving ideal results while cleaning up the mess thoroughly!
His wife was truly remarkable!
However—
What was something a fiance could never tolerate?
A man named Zhang Qingxi dared to harbor thoughts about his wife. Not only thoughts but also actions?
Was being slapped and having his hand poisoned by his wife not punishment enough?
His wife was kind-hearted and far too merciful; if it were him—
Such a minor punishment would certainly not suffice!
That night, he spent the evening affectionately with Liu Shimei as if nothing had happened, and she returned to her chambers to rest.
In the latter half of the night, Huangfu Lingyao endured until then before summoning Li Xin and said, “Go, cripple Zhang Qingxi, so he can never harm women again in his lifetime!”
Li Xin’s lips twitched, “…Yes!”
He added, “And Du Gong!”
Meanwhile, Liu Shimei went to bathe. She was not accustomed to having others attend to her bath, except occasionally needing Mo’er’s help with things. With Changge around now, Mo’er went out, and Liu Shimei didn’t pay attention, completely unaware that Mo’er had been called away by her silly dog.
She lay on the edge of the bath, her mind in turmoil.
The palace bath was specially made, quite comfortable, with grooves along the edges designed for people to lie down. It was even comfortable enough to sleep on.
Although she had successfully dealt with Madame Zhang and the others today, many innocent lives had been lost due to the day’s events. This was something Liu Shimei hadn’t antic.i.p.ated.
She hadn’t intended to kill so many innocent people, but the feeling of ‘if I don’t kill them, they’ll die because of me’ was incredibly distressing.
Liu Fuyun wouldn’t let anyone kill in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence; they would surely be sent outside the city.
After leaving the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, she had asked Mo’er to find Liang Yi for help, to find out where everyone was being held. If she could save one or two, it would count for something, even if they became witnesses in the future.
Because of these lives, Liu Shimei’s already troubled mood became even worse.
No matter how upset she was on the outside, she didn’t want to bring her negative emotions to her silly puppy. Whenever she saw him, her mood improved greatly. She never expected that today would unfold this way, and she found herself losing control!
Could she be certain that she liked him?
Even though she had regained her sanity now, she still couldn’t quite understand it.
She hadn’t dated anyone in two lifetimes; she hadn’t realized she liked this type? Soft, cute, and slightly aggressive?
It was horrifying!
