Zhang Miaozhen paused, a bit bewildered, and after a moment of thought, she replied, Did I have any enemies?

It was evident that she hadnt considered the possibility of foul play at all.

Liu s.h.i.+mei probed further, So, where was Miss Miao when this happened?

Zhang Miaozhen vividly remembered, She was right behind me. As soon as I fell, she grabbed me. But she did not have much strength. I was afraid the ice on the lake might crack open, so I asked her to let go and call for help. I didnt want her to fall in too.

I see, Liu s.h.i.+mei mused, thinking to herself, You were worried about her falling in, and it does sound like an accident, but who knows, sometimes things are more calculated than they seem.

But without concrete evidence, she did not want to say too much. Concerned that her dog was getting bored outside, she added, His Highness and I came together. I was worried he might cause trouble if left alone outside, so I couldnt stay with you. Ill go check on the old ladys condition. Once your foot is better, we can find another opportunity to meet and talk.

Mentioning King Dun Yu, Zhang Miaozhen could not help but chuckle, Why does it seem like King Dun Yu is so attached to you? He follows you everywhere.

A smile crept onto Liu s.h.i.+meis face, Well, he is quite attached, but luckily, hes not annoying.

Zhang Miaozhens face held a teasing smile, Its not that you dont find him annoying, its just that youre willing to put up with it. If it were someone else, you might have a different opinion. Youre quite a patient one!

Liu s.h.i.+mei blinked, giving it some thought, and conceded, Well, with someone else, I might find it annoying!

To be honest, when she saw her own dog with that irresistibly cute and charming demeanor, she could not get irritated. Conversely, if he did not come to pester her, she would feel uneasy.

Thats it, Zhang Miaozhen chuckled. Honestly, I envy you.

Both were designated as future Crown Princesses. Although Liu s.h.i.+meis reputation had been tarnished, she no longer had to enter that circle. It was undoubtedly a good thing. King Dun Yu would never be involved in political affairs, being the fool he was. No one worried that he would vie for the throne. So, Liu s.h.i.+mei had now escaped the fate of being a p.a.w.n!

Of course, those with more ambition might not see it that way, but she

A certain figure appeared in her mind, but she quickly dispelled it.

She could not think about it, she dared not!

Well, no matter how difficult the road is, we all have to walk it. How do you know if you dont try? Liu s.h.i.+mei noticed that she seemed preoccupied but did not believe their friends.h.i.+p had reached the point where they could confide in each other, so she did not say more. Ill leave now, I should have a look at Old Madam.

As she left the courtyard, she saw her silly puppy sitting by the flowerbed outside, not knowing what he was doing.

He did not seem bored; he always found his own entertainment.

Liu s.h.i.+mei walked over and called, Lingyao.

Wife, youre done?! Huangfu Lingyao looked up, holding a little bug in his hand, and presented it to her as if it were a treasure. Look, I found a very powerful little cricket!

Oh, how do you know its very powerful? Liu s.h.i.+mei asked, following his lead.

Huangfu Lingyao lowered his head and pointed to the one that had already died on the ground. Because it killed that one!

Liu s.h.i.+mei could not help but laugh.

Who else would come to someone elses house to catch crickets and even catch two fighting crickets?

Only her silly dg could do it!

Can we go now? Huangfu Lingyao patted the dirt off his hands and stood up.

As soon as he stood up, Liu s.h.i.+mei regretted her low stature!
