Chapter 60: Just What I Want
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu Lingyao said that he wanted to complain. After leaving the Liang Residence that night, he went into the palace to complain.
No matter how much Liu Shimei did wrong, she was still the future daughter-in-law of the royal family. Even if she was Liu Fuyun’s biological daughter, she could be reprimanded. However, beating her to the extent of ‘broken arms, broken legs, broken spine, and disfigured’ was naturally not allowed!
King Dun Yu scolded in front of the Emperor, “That old fellow is too shameless! My wife is as beautiful as a flower. She’s beautiful and fair, but he actually hit her!”
“He even chased my wife out of the house!”
“I went to take a look. He was fine before, but now, she was beaten up badly! She’s a bloody mess!”
“No, Father, I want to beat him up too! Quickly help me call him into the palace. I want to fight myself and avenge my wife!”
H ii
…..
The Emperor had a headache over this silly son, but there was one thing that he had to pay attention to – – Liu Shimei was a consort who had been betrothed, and was already considered half a member of the royal family. Liu Fuyun’s actions were indeed too much!
Even if they did not blame the Grand Chancellor in secret, they had to protect the dignity of the royal family on the surface.
Therefore, the Emperor summoned the Grand Chancellor into the palace.
Of course, he could not let King Dun Yu watch from the side, and he could not let Huangfu Lingyao really hit someone. The monarch and his subjects, the future in-laws, chatted for an hour in the royal study.
After Liu Fuyun came out, he returned to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence with a gloomy face!
He did not dare to tell the Emperor everything that had happened, let alone that Liu Shimei and Huangfu Lingyao had broken Liu Yan’er’s leg.
If she lost the qualifications to be the Crown Prince Consort because of this, the losses would outweigh the gains!
Therefore, the Emperor said that Liu Shimei’s temperament had changed drastically after the incident on the previous Lantern Festival. She had repeatedly contradicted her father and disobeyed her elders. That was why he had given her a beating with the ferule!
Of course, ‘broken limbs’ was just an exaggeration in the rumors. ‘Disfigured’ was impossible!
The Great Shu Dynasty valued filial piety, and the Emperor was very respectful to the Empress Dowager. Even if Liu Shimei was a future princess consort, could it be that she was above the Emperor?
Thus, the Emperor became the peacemaker. “How can father and daughter have overnight grudges? The child will return home once the she recovers. As for the Liang family… It’s indeed not easy to explain, so we can only give them some sincerity. Grand Chancellor, give the General a way out and bring your daughter home. Give face to the Liang family!”
All of this was exactly what Liu Shimei wanted!
The reason why she allowed Huangfu Lingyao to go to the palace to complain was because she wanted this result!
Firstly, the Grand Chancellor had lost a lot of face this time. Their relationship would not be good in the future and would only get worse and worse, sooner or later, they would fall apart.
Secondly, she had deliberately suffered this beating to pave the way for the future. It did not mean that she wanted to leave the Liu family now. Liu Yan’er was still alright. She had yet to avenge the original Liu Shimei. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her brother’s death and wanted to investigate this matter before she got married!
As for the third…
She could also probe what the Emperor thought of Huangfu Lingyao and what kind of situation she would be in when she entered King Dun Yu’s Residence in the future!
Liu Shimei let her little puppy go into the palace to have fun while she was still recuperating.
Mo’er had already brought Little Mute over. No one cared about an ugly rabbit. He was just hungry for a few meals. After carrying him over, she washed him clean and fed him with fresh rabbit grass. Liu Shimei carried Little Mute and sat on the bed.
“Young Miss, when I went back, I noticed that someone was watching our Leihua Courtyard!”
Mo’er changed the medicine on Liu Shimei’s back and said, “I originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but after thinking about it, someone actually dared to cause trouble when Eldest Young Miss was not at home. I’d better see who it was first.. Guess who I saw?”
