After all, it was a sensitive topic, and facing such a soft and gentle granddaughter, Liang Wei did not dare to be too explicit and hinted at it indirectly.

Liu Shimei looked somewhat surprised and asked, “Why would you think that, Grandpa?”

“I observed that the Crown Prince is very protective of you.” Liang Wei frowned and said, “As for me, I am a straightforward old man, though 1 haven’t led troops for many years, 1 still have the alertness from the battlefield. Several times, I saw the Crown Prince secretly observing you from the corner of his eye, could it be… that he has other intentions towards you?”

She understood what he meant. He was telling her that Yu Wanqing was spreading rumors, but whether it was Yu Wanqing or Liang Yan’er, both of them insisted that there was a connection between the Crown Prince and Liu Shimei, which shouldn’t be baseless.

If the Crown Prince really had feelings for Liu Shimei, this Silly Second Prince might not even be able to protect his fiancee!

Seeing that her grandfather had brought it up to this extent, Liu Shimei hid her expression. She sighed and hugged Liang Wei’s arm. “To be honest, the Crown Prince does… have other intentions. But now, I am doing well with Lingyao and I don’t want to become a Crown Princess. Look, 1 haven’t even taken on that role, and troubles come flying at me. If I were to become the Crown Princess, wouldn’t it be even harder to avoid open threats and secret arrows?”

“I see that you’re well aware of it yourself, so I can rest assured.” Liang Wei patted her hand on his arm and said, “Your thoughts are good. I don’t agree with Liang Jun’s ambitions. He only wants to send his daughter into the palace to seek personal gains, without considering her lifelong happiness. Let alone others, just look at the Empress Dowager. Let’s not discuss her fate after being dethroned; even the current Empress, how much effort did she have to spend to secure her position?”

He sighed again and said, “As for my daughter from the Liang family, I’d rather see her live an easier and happier life!”

This old general enjoyed the feeling of doting on his granddaughter. He thought to himself, having such a soft and gentle granddaughter is so good, walking arm in arm and being affectionate. Those little brats, apart from a few who haven’t grown up yet, occasionally asking their grandfather to hold them, those grown ones, none of them are caring!

Liu Shimei smiled and said, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry too much about them. My father, in this lifetime, will never change his pragmatic ways! We can’t control others, so let’s focus on ourselves.”

“I heard from Little Nine that you want to break away froom the Liu family?” Liang Wei asked again.

Liu Shimie nodded and said, “Yes, I do, but now they’ve learned their lesson and stopped bothering me. I can’t find a way to break free just yet. But there’s no rush, we’ll take it slowly.”

Liang Wei gently touched her head and said, “If you’re not happy living in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, find an opportunity to come back to the Liang Family’s Residence. Your aunts are always mentioning you.”

“My aunts don’t have any daughters of their own!” Liu Shimei chuckled and said, “In the future, if any of my aunts, like Sixth Aunt or perhaps a future Seventh Aunt, can have one or two daughters, then I’ll lose favor! They’ll have someone else to compete with.”

Mentioning this, Liang Wei furrowed his brows. “You say that, but your Seventh Uncle is almost 20 now and he hasn’t shown any interest in any girls. When the family tried to arrange a marriage for him, he refused. I don’t know what he’s thinking. If he doesn’t marry, where will the Seventh Aunt and where will the daughters come from?”

Liu Shimei smiled and said, “Grandfather, don’t think too much about it. I’m sure Seventh Uncle has his own plans. Everyone has their own blessings; his time hasn’t come yet.”

Liang Wei had never been very strict about the marriage of his son. Although he was sometimes worried that the old and young would not get married, it was just a momentary nagging. He would not take it to heart. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, 1 can’t control so much. I’ll just let fate take its course.”

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Liang Residence, Liu Shimei said, “Grandpa, if you have time, why don’t you come and visit my shop?”
