Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Xin honestly admitted his fault, saying, I failed in my duty, so Ill take the punishment of a hundred lashes myself.

Hmph! Although Huangfu Lingyao was dissatisfied, he couldnt vent his anger on Li Xin. Li Xin was his right-hand man, handling many matters that he couldnt deal with personally.

Moreover, Li Xin, despite being talkative, was quite efficient in his work. He carefully observed Huangfu Lingyaos expression and asked, Eldest Miss Liu shes not injured, is she?

If shes hurt, Ill cut off your arm! Huangfu Lingyao glared at him.

Li Xin looked mournful and inquired, Master, are you planning to enter the palace or return to the mansion to recuperate?

Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao stared at him incredulously, Do you think Im out of my mind?

When dealing with other matters, youre not this foolis.h.!.+ Are you a blockhead? I have a wife. If Im injured, shouldnt I stay by her side, let her worry about me, sympathize with me, and care for me instead of silently nursing my wounds in the mansion?

King Dun Yu frowned and scolded him, With your mentality, youll never catch a wife in your lifetime!

Li Xin thought, Well, even if I cant, I still have you, who promised to arrange one for me, right?

But he didnt dare to say it out loud!

Huangfu Lingyao gave him a disdainful look. His exquisite face was full of anger as he continued, The case of Du Gong will proceed through official channels, but if you dont take this opportunity to implicate the Zheng Medical Hall, then youre incompetent!

Yes, I understand, Your Highness.

Furthermore Huangfu Lingyaos gaze turned serious as he continued, Over at the inn, instruct the manager to organize things properly. I dont care if others are killed, but if someone my wife cares about enters the inns territory, make sure they are protected!

He hadnt cared about such matters before. But things were different now; he had a wife!

His wife had many loved ones, and her loved ones were his too. He had to protect them all!

Even though the Liang family was not to be trifled with, he had to handle his responsibilities.

Li Xin understood his meaning and nodded, Yes.

With a wave of his hand, Huangfu Lingyao said, Go quickly. The Liang family is vigilant; dont let them discover you. If I stay in the Liang Residence for these few days to recover, you dont need to stay by my side unless theres something specific.

Li Xin was highly skilled; the Liang family members couldnt match his abilities, but there were always unexpected factors.

If Huangfu Lingyao wasnt cautious, how could he have played the fool, undiscovered for seven years?

Knowing that his master intended to use this injury as an opportunity to build a relations.h.i.+p with the future princess, Li Xin didnt reply. He turned and left.

When Liu s.h.i.+mei and the others returned to the Liang residence from the local magistrates office, they found Liang Sheng standing at the entrance of the main hall, anxiously rus.h.i.+ng over as soon as he saw them. He asked, We just came back from the outer city, and we heard about s.h.i.+mei being attacked. What happened?

Without waiting for an answer, he looked at Liu s.h.i.+mei and asked, s.h.i.+mei, are you hurt?

Knowing that Liang Sheng was genuinely concerned about her, Liu s.h.i.+mei rea.s.sured him, Uncle Seven, dont worry, Im not injured. Lingyao took the blow for me. If he hadnt been there today, I would have been in grave danger.

Whenever she had the chance, she would promote her silly dog. It was good to have a little more favor from her family. After all, the Silly Second Prince was genuinely kind to her, and the Liang family treated her well too. So, she hoped they would accept him.

Mentioning this, Liang Yi also expressed his surprise, I never expected King Dun Yu to be so brave!

He decided that in future arguments, he would yield a bit more!
