Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Generals Residence.

The sky was already dark. Liu s.h.i.+mei was brought back, and the doctor hired by the Liang family also arrived at the same time.

After Liu s.h.i.+mei went back the day before yesterday, the Liang family had thought that since Liu s.h.i.+mei had gotten married to Silly Second Prince, the Grand Chancellors Residence would definitely not place much importance on her. If the Grand Chancellors Residence was unreliable, it would be better to treat the Liang family as her family.

Eldest Madam w.a.n.g ordered people to clean up the courtyard where Liang Ruyi lived when she was a young lady. It was specially reserved for Liu s.h.i.+mei to stay for a while. Everything was ready. At this time, Liang Wei brought Liu s.h.i.+mei back, which was just in time to come in handy.

All the men in the Liang family were worried about her injuries, but they could not go and watch a lady recuperate. They also heard from Madam w.a.n.g that Liu s.h.i.+mei was very weak and had already fallen asleep, so they had no choice but to leave.

All of them were filled with righteous indignation!

Liu s.h.i.+mei woke up from his nap due to the pain. She saw the lights in the room and Moer adding new charcoal to the charcoal stove.

Moer, what time is it? she asked softly.

Only then did Moer realize that she was awake. She hurriedly put down the work in her hands and ran over to ask, Its almost 11 oclock. Young Miss, youre awake. How are you feeling? You havent eaten dinner, so you must be hungry, right? Eldest Madam instructed the kitchen to keep the porridge warm for you. Ill bring it over now.

Youve asked so many questions. Which one should I answer first? Liu s.h.i.+mei moved. The pain on her back made her cry out.

Hearing the commotion in the room, Nanny Li came in with hot porridge. Miss, do you want some porridge?

No matter how painful it was, she still had to eat. Moer supported Liu s.h.i.+mei and carefully sat up.

Seeing her gasp, Moer complained, I dont understand. Miss, why did you anger the Grand Chancellor? Arent you asking for a beating on purpose?

She was scared to death when she saw her Young Miss like this.

Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled and did not answer.

Why did you take so long? she asked Nanny Li.

Nanny Li replied, When this old servant arrived at the Liang Residence, I heard that the Old Master was not in the residence, so I followed Young Master Little Nine to look for the Old Master. As a result, I told the Old Master everything that happened and came late.

Its not too late. Its fine. Liu s.h.i.+mei blew on a mouthful of porridge and put it into her mouth.

It hurt just by moving.

Moer still had a serious expression on her face. Fortunately, its only a flesh wound. The doctor said that if that thick ferule were to hit you, it would easily break your spine! Fortunately, the ferule didnt hit your bone!

Liu s.h.i.+mei glanced at Moer and said, Because I avoided the bones when I was beaten.

Miss, if you can avoid being hit in the bones, why didnt you just dodge him altogether? Moer stomped her feet.

Nanny Li had lived for decades. She looked at Liu s.h.i.+mei suspiciously and asked, Could it be that Eldest Young Miss deliberately provoked the Grand Chancellor so that he would hit you?

These two people were very loyal to him. Liu s.h.i.+mei knew that her future was inseparable from cultivating confidants, so she did not want to hide it from them. She explained, Liu Yaners broken leg is something 1 cant run away from. As long as I stay in the Grand Chancellors Residence, the Grand Chancellor, Madam Zhang, and even others will make things difficult for me. The two of you will also suffer.

She lowered her head and drank another mouthful of porridge to moisten her throat. She continued, So, 1 used this method to fight to the death and provoke the Grand Chancellor. I made him hit me and chase me away. If Grandpa comes to support me, it will be reasonable for me to leave the Grand Chancellors Residence to avoid disaster.

Furthermore, there was one more important point that she did not mention.

This matter had blown up, and the Grand Chancellors Residence had lost all face. The Grand Chancellor had actually kicked out the future consort of King Dun Yu, whom the Emperor had bestowed marriage to, from the house. From this, it could be seen that the father-daughter relations.h.i.+p had been severed. Firstly, it would make people look down on Liu Fuyun. Secondly, it would also lay the foundation for her to leave the Liu family in the future!

From the outside worlds perspective, it was the Liu family who could not tolerate her, persecuted her, and chased her out of the house. It was not her who wanted to leave! She was forced into a corner, not an unfilial daughter.

I see. But Miss, dont you know how painful it is to be beaten? Moer sighed.

Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled faintly and said, It hurts! But if Im in pain, youll feel sorry for me and pity me, right?
