This position placed most of her body’s weight on him, and despite her family’s ferocious dog-like spirit, the vast difference in their body sizes gave her a unique sensation!
Delving deeper into it, she could not help but recall the night of the Lantern Festival. At first, she did not know he was foolish…
The one drugged wasn’t her, and the one left in the dark alley wasn’t her either. When she opened her eyes, she saw Huangfu Lingyaoo entering the alley.
The bodily reactions at the time let her know she had been drugged and she deduced what had happened.
The burning sensation was unbearable, and combined with the foggy state of her mind from just traveling through, this man walked over, and he seemed to have said something?
She could not remember exactly what Liu Shimei said, and when she became somewhat conscious, she was already in that rundown house, with only one thought in her mind: there’s a man, and this man has an exceptional physique! Even if she picked up a humble cowherd, she’d grit her teeth and sleep with him.
Who would have thought she’d wake up to find herself engaged to a Silly Second Prince!
Even though she had been drugged, the intensity was still fresh in her mind. Whenever he got too close, it felt like it was swirling around in her head, too embarrassing!
“Lingyao.” He was hugging her tightly, and Liu Shimei tried to push him away but couldn’t, so she had to speak up, “I’m not comfortable like this.”
Huangfu Lingyao graciously loosened his hold on her and adjusted her into a more comfortable position before embracing her again!
Liu Shimei was speechless.
She was mentally mature enough; did he have to hold her in this way that made her have inappropriate thoughts?!
Wait, didn’t she just lose control and pounce on him earlier? This was quite sinful!
To maintain her composure, Liu Shimei began silently reciting the names of medicinal herbs in her mind: Coptis and Phellodendron, Radix Asparagi and Ophiopogonis, Scutellaria and Gardenia, Rehmannia and Polygonatum, Honeysuckle and Lotus Seed Heart with malt…
All of them were cooling and fire-reducing herbs!
After a long journey, she returned to the Imperial Capital and first escorted Zhang Miaozhen back to the Zhang family.
Zhang Miaozhen gratefully said, “Today, thanks to you, Shimei. Come inside for a while. Father and mother will definitely want to thank you personally.” “What’s there to thank for? It just happened that I was going there too,” Liu Shimei smiled. “Today it’s already late. I’ll find some time to visit and have a look at Madam Zhang’s leg condition.”
She remembered her promise, but the recent busyness was one reason she hadn’t fulfilled it. The other reason was that she wanted to start her medical practice after the opening of the Fusheng Pavilion.
“Then be careful on your way back,” Zhang Miaozhen did not insist, allowing one of her strong maids to carry her inside the mansion.
Liang Yi looked at Liu Shimei and said, “Sister, the Miao family… in the future, stay away from them!”
Rarely did her brother speak to her in such a tone. Liu Shimei replied, “You don’t need to tell me; I already know. Ninth Brother, you go back first.”
She turned to Shu Jun and said, “You’ve worked hard today. Go home now. Tomorrow, we’ll visit the Jiang and Wu family herb shops.”
“Yes, Master,” Shu Jun bowed respectfully.
Liu Shimei then boarded the Wang family’s carriage once again, with Huangfu Lingyao following behind.
Liang Yi had initially considered sending her, but when he saw Huangfu Lingyao showing his teeth at him, he rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Never mind, this kid may not be the brightest, but he knows how to protect his fiancee. I’ll let him escort my sister.’
So, Huangfu Lingyao accompanied Liu Shimei back to the Grand Chancellr’s Residence. He had originally intended to take her inside, but she stopped him, saying, “You’ve been out all day. Go back quickly.”
She instructed Li Xin with a stern expression, “Escort His Highness back, no lingering on the way!”
Li Xin replied, “Yes.”
Even before entering the door, the future princess began to assert her authority!
The silly dog could only leave reluctantly.
Liu Shimei entered the mansion. As she passed through the main courtyard, she saw Liu Fuyun standing in the front hall. Seeing her return, she did not bother to ask where she had been and simply said, “Do you remember that the day after tomorrow is your brother’s death anniversary?”
She stopped in her tracks..
