Chapter 414: Ill Feel Sorry if I Dont Slap Her

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the study of the main courtyard.

Liu s.h.i.+mei entered without waiting for an invitation. Coincidentally, Madam Zhang had just brought some tea over. Upon seeing Liu s.h.i.+mei, her mature face immediately twisted with disapproval. What time is it? A young lady whos yet to be wed, parading around town all day and not returning home even after dark!

Oh, Liu s.h.i.+mei replied nonchalantly, So, Im not fit to be the Crown Princess like good sister Yaner, who spends her days cooped up in her chamber embroidering for a living.

She intentionally emphasized the words cooped up and Crown Princess, mocking the fact that Yaner could only lie in bed with her legs mending. It wouldnt be possible for her to stand up for at least two more months, which meant she only had one month left before the selection of the Crown Princess!

Predictably, her words irked Madam Zhang to the point of frustration. Yaners situation has deteriorated like this all because of you! If you hadnt broken her leg, her old injury wouldnt have resurfaced, and she wouldnt be confined to her room now.

I remember very clearly that weve already clarified this matter, Liu s.h.i.+mei remained unruffled, even smiling. Some people just insist on offering their faces to be slapped. If I dont slap them, Ill feel cheated. Dont you think, Madam Zhang?

It was a double entendre.

It suggested that Yaner was inviting trouble herself, but also that Madam Zhang was here to pick a fight.

Clearly knowing that she could not match wits with Liu s.h.i.+mei and yet unable to restrain herself, wasnt that just asking for trouble?

You Madam Zhang wished she could smash the tray in her hands onto Liu s.h.i.+meis face!

Thats enough! Seeing this quarrel escalate, Liu Fuyun, fed up with the bickering, interjected, Madam, youre at such an age; why are you arguing with a child?

After scolding his own wife, he turned to Liu s.h.i.+mei, but did not speak for a while.

Liu s.h.i.+mei fixed him with a cold, piercing gaze, leaving him momentarily speechless. He had intended to say As a junior, you shouldnt address the head of the household with such an att.i.tude. However, when he met Liu s.h.i.+meis expression, not a single word could escape his lips!

She did not utter a word. This young girl in her early teens, with a rather slight figure, just stood there, her gaze chillingly fixed on him. It made even him, a Grand Chancellor, feel intimidated!

In the end, Liu Fuyun simply waved his hand and said, Madam, please leave for now.

Madam Zhang knew that due to a series of events, she had already earned her husbands displeasure. She did not dare to be presumptuous and left, seething with anger.

She had to endure it!

If you asked whether it was worth it to do so much and earn her husbands displeasure, the answer was, of course, yes!

As long as she got rid of Liu s.h.i.+mei, the Liu family would be her sons inheritance in the future. And once her daughter became the Crown Princess, with mother-in-laws prestige, was there any fear of her position being shaken?

Furthermore, Liu Fuyun could not withstand the temptations of other women. She just needed one more chance to ensure the stability of their marital relations.h.i.+p!

Liu s.h.i.+mei did not care about what Madam Zhang was thinking. After the door closed behind her, she entered and chose a chair to sit on. She did not look at Liu Fuyun but instead lowered her head to tidy her sleeves, asking, Father, did you have something to discuss with me?

Liu Fuyun got straight to the point, Ive heard that you have been having close interactions with the Youngest Miss Zhang, from the Zhang family.

Liu s.h.i.+mei was taken aback.

She hadnt expected him to ask about something like this?

She furrowed her brows and asked, So what if I am?

Liu Fuyun continued, Miss Zhang is also a candidate for the position of Crown Princess. Whats the meaning behind your actions?

Liu s.h.i.+mei looked at him and suddenly smiled, asking, Father, are you suggesting that I should a.s.sist Yuner in plotting against Zhang Miaozhen, just like last time, to eliminate a rival? So, the only one left will be Miao Linglong, right?
