“Eldest Young Miss.”
Liu Shimci entered Nanny Li’s room. Nanny Li was anxious to get up.
She quickly walked over to hold Nanny Li down and said, “Nanny Li, lie down properly. Let me have a look at your legs!”
A few days ago, Nanny Li had gone to the Liang Residence to talk to her about some things. After not seeing her for a few days, she looked a lot more haggard.
Liu Shimei suppressed the anger in his heart and lifted Nanny Li’s pants to examine her.
Nanny Li was even more anxious to tell Liu Shimei what had happened. When Liu Shimei was examining her, she said, “That day when I returned from the Liang Residence, I went to the storeroom to take a look and found that the window had been pried open. Seeing that there was an outsider in Leihua Courtyard, I chased after him all the way but failed to catch him. Instead, he injured my leg. I was in a hurry to catch that thief, so I didn’t go in to check what was missing. After that, I couldn’t walk. Young Miss, I’m useless.”
“You should have sent someone to send me the news when your leg was injured. Why did you go and catch the thief?” Liu Shimei furrowed his brows and revealed a displeased expression.
Sensing that her tone was not good, Nanny Li did not dare to say anything else.
The more she examined Nanny Li, the uglier Liu Shimei’s expression became. Without thinking, she said in exasperation, “So what if a thief came in? Why did you drag your injured leg to the storeroom? You even wanted to arrest him and check what was missing! Have you not eaten for the past few days?”
“I…” Nanny Li was stunned by her sudden scolding.
Liu Shimei was not finished with her scolding, “Your calf bone is broken, do you know that?! Although there was no fracture, it wasn’t far away! Which is more important, your leg or your lost belongings? If you lose something, you can get it back. If your leg is crippled, you’ll be crippled for the rest of your life! Even if 1 can treat you, you’ll still be a cripple!”
Although she was being scolded, Nanny Li felt her heart burning. She was already so old, but she was still teary-eyed by her words. “Young Miss, I…”
What the Eldest Young Miss cared about the most was not the treasures in the storeroom, but the safety of the people around her!
Liu Shimei cursed again, “Also! Can’t you get someone to send me a message? You couldn’t take it anymore, so you moved back to your room to fend for yourself. You didn’t eat or drink much water?”
Her voice was very heavy. As she spoke, she was so angry that she choked.
Nanny Li did not say anything, but it was a silent agreement.
Mo’er’s eyes were also a little red as she said, “It’s my fault. I should have come back to take a look. It’s been a few days!”
“Eldest Young Miss, I’ll go to the kitchen now to prepare some food for Nanny Li.”
Although Liu Shimei was angry, she still reminded her seriously, “Liquid food! She hadn’t eaten for a few days. She can’t eat hard food. It hurt her stomach! I’ll write a prescription. After you bring the food, go and get the medicine.”
“Yes,” replied Mo’er.
When she went out, she saw Silly Second Prince standing outside the door, staring at the door, thinking about something.
Seeing her come out, Huangfu Lingyao asked her, “What’s wrong with my wife? She was so angry! Can I go in and take a look?”
He was still the same silly look that he usually saw, with a hint of worry.
Mo’er was in a bad mood and said unhappily, “Eldest Young Miss is examining Nanny Li, of course not! Your Highness should go to the Young Miss’s room and wait. I’m busy here and can’t care about you!”
After saying that, she left and muttered in a low voice, “If you say that he’s not stupid, why would he totally ignore etiquette when he barged into the Eldest Miss’s room? But if you say he’s stupid, why is he so polite now? Is it because they are already husband and wife?”
As she walked further and further away, she did not notice that Huangfu Lingyao had glanced at her back and a strange smile flashed across his eyes..
