Chapter 331: Didn’t Lingyao Come Today

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At Liu Shimei’s medical hall, despite the large sum of money contributed by the Liang family, she did not see it as something to take for granted, nor did she harbor a cold-hearted att.i.tude.

She had plans to expand the medical hall, not only relying on the Liang family but also hoping to become their support.

It would be a great sense of accomplishment to let her closest and most respected people witness the start of her career.

Liang Wei thought that there was nothing else to do, so he agreed. “Alright, let’s go now! Have you recruited all the lads? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Liu Shimei smiled charmingly, displaying the cuteness of a little girl in front of her grandfather. She said, “Grandpa, you must believe in my abilities! Besides, Ninth Brother is always busy with tea, birds, and plays. Don’t you think I know how to catch him to help me?”

“True, your Ninth Brother has no desire to enter the court, being neither academically nor militarily inclined. He spends his days playing around, and your Second Uncle indulges him too!” Liang Wei spoke disdainfully of his grandchildren, but there was a smile he could not hide at the corners of his lips.

It could be said that the Liang family’s affection was strong, all thanks to the example set by the old patriarch.

Liang Yi was indeed a playful person. He understood his own child. He was both scholarly and martially talented, and if he wanted to enter the court as an official, he could excel in both aspects.

However, he did not have the heart to do so. Instead, he got to know many people from all walks of life. He did not know what he wanted to do.

Liu Shimei’s perspective was different. She said, “I think it’s fine the way Ninth Brother is. He’s not naive to play without reason. Who knows, he might achieve something extraordinary in the future? As the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. In my opinion, with so many of our family members in the court, each holding different talents, even if we’re not suspected by the Emperor, who knows if others might become envious and try to undermine our influence?”

Liang Wei was surprised that a young girl like Liu Shimei could see these court matters so clearly. He asked, “Apart from teaching you the Four Books and Five Cla.s.sics, did Liu Jun also talk about these things?”

After all, Liu Fuyun’s expectation for his daughter was to become the next empress.

Liu Shimei’s smile turned cold at the mention of her sc.u.mbag father. “Indeed, he did.”

It was just that the original host did not like to scheme against others. She was obsessed with the four arts and did not cause any ripples.

But she…

As a modern soul, she had studied history at school, so she had some understanding of historical experiences, more or less.

Liu Shimei did not want him to be so unhappy, so he changed the topic and talked about something else.

After a busy day at the shop, Liu Shimei returned to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and asked subconsciously, “Mo’er, didn’t Lingyao come today?”

Mo’er was speechless.

She was startled. “Eldest Young Miss hasn’t seen His Highness even after entering the palace. Is he grounded by His Majesty?”

Liu Shimei did not say anything, but his brows furrowed slightly.

From Long An’s words, it was certain that he was indeed grounded, and she was worried that there might be other punishments as well. After all, he almost killed the Emperor’s beloved granddaughter. If there was not some gesture to appease the Grand Princess, even Huangfu Quan would have a difficult time.

Mo’er continued, “However, seeing the Second Prince’s appearance, he should have been punished quite severely. But you need not worry too much, as long as King Dun Yu is fine, he will definitely come to see you.”

Liu Shimei was surprised once again.

So, it was always him who came to see her, and she had never taken the initiative to see him?

She frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In the palace, Deer Seeking Hall.

Huangfu Lingyao was lying on the bed, reading the book beside his pillow in boredom.

Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch came from outside, “The Empress has arrived!”
