General’s Residence.
The sky was already dark. Liu Shimei was brought back, and the doctor hired by the Liang family also arrived at the same time.
After Liu Shimei went back the day before yesterday, the Liang family had thought that since Liu Shimei had gotten married to Silly Second Prince, the Grand Chancellor’s Residence would definitely not place much importance on her. If the Grand Chancellor’s Residence was unreliable, it would be better to treat the Liang family as her family.
Eldest Madam Wang ordered people to clean up the courtyard where Liang Ruyi lived when she was a young lady. It was specially reserved for Liu Shimei to stay for a while. Everything was ready. At this time, Liang Wei brought Liu Shimei 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 Wang that Liu Shimei 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 Shimei woke up from his nap due to the pain. She saw the lights in the room and Mo’er adding new charcoal to the charcoal stove.
“Mo’er, what time is it?” she asked softly.
Only then did Mo’er realize that she was awake. She hurriedly put down the work in her hands and ran over to ask, “It’s almost 11 o’clock. Young Miss, you’re awake. How are you feeling? You haven’t eaten dinner, so you must be hungry, right? Eldest Madam instructed the kitchen to keep the porridge warm for you. I’ll bring it over now.”
“You’ve asked so many questions. Which one should I answer first?” Liu Shimei 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. Mo’er supported Liu Shimei and carefully sat up.
Seeing her gasp, Mo’er complained, “I don’t understand. Miss, why did you anger the Grand Chancellor? Aren’t you asking for a beating on purpose?”
She was scared to death when she saw her Young Miss like this.
Liu Shimei 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.”
“It’s not too late. It’s fine.” Liu Shimei blew on a mouthful of porridge and put it into her mouth.
It hurt just by moving.
Mo’er still had a serious expression on her face. “Fortunately, it’s 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 didn’t hit your bone!”
Liu Shimei glanced at Mo’er and said, “Because I avoided the bones when I was beaten.”
“Miss, if you can avoid being hit in the bones, why didn’t you just dodge him altogether?” Mo’er stomped her feet.
Nanny Li had lived for decades. She looked at Liu Shimei 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 Shimei knew that her future was inseparable from cultivating confidants, so she did not want to hide it from them. She explained, “Liu Yan’er’s broken leg is something 1 can’t run away from. As long as I stay in the Grand Chancellor’s 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 Chancellor’s Residence to avoid disaster.”
Furthermore, there was one more important point that she did not mention.
This matter had blown up, and the Grand Chancellor’s 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 relationship 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 world’s 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, don’t you know how painful it is to be beaten?” Mo’er sighed.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and said, “It hurts! But if I’m in pain, you’ll feel sorry for me and pity me, right?”
