Chapter 414: I’ll Feel Sorry if I Don’t Slap Her

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the study of the main courtyard.

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

“Oh,” Liu Shimei replied nonchalantly, “So, I’m not fit to be the Crown Princess like good sister Yan’er, 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 Yan’er could only lie in bed with her legs mending. It wouldn’t 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. “Yan’er’s situation has deteriorated like this all because of you! If you hadn’t broken her leg, her old injury wouldn’t have resurfaced, and she wouldn’t be confined to her room now.”

“I remember very clearly that we’ve already clarified this matter,” Liu Shimei remained unruffled, even smiling. “Some people just insist on offering their faces to be slapped. If I don’t slap them, I’ll feel cheated. Don’t you think, Madam Zhang?”

It was a double entendre.

It suggested that Yan’er 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 Shimei and yet unable to restrain herself, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

“You…” Madam Zhang wished she could smash the tray in her hands onto Liu Shimei’s face!

“That’s enough!” Seeing this quarrel escalate, Liu Fuyun, fed up with the bickering, interjected, “Madam, you’re at such an age; why are you arguing with a child?”

After scolding his own wife, he turned to Liu Shimei, but did not speak for a while.

Liu Shimei fixed him with a cold, piercing gaze, leaving him momentarily speechless. He had intended to say ‘As a junior, you shouldn’t address the head of the household with such an attitude’. However, when he met Liu Shimei’s 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 husband’s 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 husband’s displeasure, the answer was, of course, yes!

As long as she got rid of Liu Shimei, the Liu family would be her son’s inheritance in the future. And once her daughter became the Crown Princess, with mother-in-law’s 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 relationship!

Liu Shimei 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, “I’ve heard that you have been having close interactions with the Youngest Miss Zhang, from the Zhang family.”

Liu Shimei was taken aback.

She hadn’t 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. What’s the meaning behind your actions?”

Liu Shimei looked at him and suddenly smiled, asking, “Father, are you suggesting that I should assist Yun’er in plotting against Zhang Miaozhen, just like last time, to eliminate a rival? So, the only one left will be Miao Linglong, right?”
