Chapter 406: Do You Have Any Suspicions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation

Last winter solstice, the n.o.ble sons and daughters of the Imperial Capital held a poetry gathering, seemingly initiated by the Fourth Prince, Huangfu Yao. It was a gathering of familiar faces.

When Zhang Miaozhen had her accident, the original host was not present at the scene. Instead, she was on the other side, talking to Huangfu He?

When she found out about the incident here, Zhang Miaozhen had already been rescued and taken away.

“As for Miaozhen’s condition, can it be treated?” Madam Jiang was more concerned about this.

“It can,” Liu Shimei nodded with confidence. She said, “Fortunately, the exposure to the cold was brief. I’ll prescribe medicine for Miaozhen, a.s.sist with the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation several times, pay more attention to her diet in daily life, and administer a few treatment courses. She should be able to recover gradually.”

“That’s wonderful!” Madam Jiang’s face brightened considerably.

Seeing her mother’s expression, Zhang Miaozhen playfully stuck out her tongue and said, “Mother, you always think too much!”

She then complained to Liu Shimei, “Shimei, you don’t know. Since I developed this little problem, my mother has been worrying day and night that I won’t be able to have children in the future! Can you believe how exaggerated that is!”

In front of their mothers, every girl was a little princess, forever a baby. Despite Zhang Miaozhen usually appearing confident and composed, it was surprising to see this side of her, where she could be so playful and endearing.

Liu Shimei secretly sighed, “I envy her so much!”

In both her lifetimes, she never had a mother to rely on. The closest were her elder brother and her cousins from her maternal family, and they were all like big brothers!

Madam Jiang reproached her, saying, “A married woman, first and foremost, should have some offspring. Look at any n.o.ble lady who supports the family – who doesn’t have a few children by her side?”

Zhang Miaozhen pursed her lips.

After exchanging a few heartfelt words, Madam Jiang turned to Liu Shimei and smiled. “I must have made Eldest Miss Liu laugh. My Miaozhen here always seems forever young.”

Liu Shimei thought to herself, ‘I wish I could stay forever young too, having a mother’s love is like having a treasure. Who doesn’t want to remain a child forever? Women who are pampered don’t need to be sensible or grow up!’

But she could not say that, so she replied with a faint smile, “Well, girls are generally closer to their mothers.”

Madam Jiang thought about Liu Shimei being an orphan and decided not to pursue this topic any further. Instead, she said, “You both sit and chat for a while. We can’t leave the Miao family waiting outside forever. I need to figure out a way to get them to leave early.”

After Madam Jiang left, Liu Shimei turned to Zhang Miaozhen and asked, “Do you think those two from the Miao family came to apologize to you?”

Zhang Miaozhen shrugged and said, “Isn’t that obvious? They actually came the day after it happened. I didn’t mind much and thought we could move on. But after I told my mother what happened, she decided they needed to be taught a lesson. This is their third visit now. I have no idea what they’re up to.”

If you thought that the Miao siblings did not have some ulterior motive towards Zhang Miaozhen, you probably wouldn’t even believe it yourself.

But saying that without any evidence would not be right.

“So, what are you planning to do?” Liu Shimei asked.

Zhang Miaozhen looked helpless. “Well, once my foot heals, I’ll have to go out and meet people, won’t I? Initially, I was planning to distance myself slowly, but now my mother’s interference has made things awkward for everyone.”

“Your mother just cares deeply about you,” Liu Shimei said.

She thought to herself, ‘Someone who can become the Madam of the Zhang family can definitely handle such a small matter. It’s clear that Madam Jiang is doing this on purpose.’

This kind of matter really should not be delayed.

After some thought, she asked, “Regarding last year when you fell into the frozen lake, do you have any suspicions about who might have been involved?”
