Liu Shimei lowered her head and glanced at Emperor Huangfu Lingyao. Due to excessive bleeding, his face had turned pale. Her brows furrowed, and she said, “They wanted to kill me. They came straight after me!”

With silver needles still embedded in his shoulders, Huangfu Lingyao remained seated on the ground, looking pitifully at Liu Shimei. He asked, “Wife, who are these people? They all want to kill you! I should kick them to death!”

Of course, he couldn’t possibly kill these people with just a kick. Mu Jiangli didn’t bother to expose his naivety. Liang Yi was silent and said, “Let’s go home first after King Dun Yu removes the needles. We can’t hide this from Grandpa! Someone wants to kill Liu Shimei; this is a matter of great importance. We can’t keep it from the Liang family, or else if something really happens, he won’t be able to cover it up.”

Considering the gravity of the situation, they couldn’t conceal it from the Liang family. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.

Just what had happened today, he might receive a severe beating at home!

Liu Shimei nodded in agreement. “Yes, Ninth Brother, you go out first. Tell Lu Ying to prepare the carriage. There are bandages in my carriage; we need to bandage Lingyao’s wounds.”

Her poor dog, injured in the left shoulder, his right palm covered in blood! It was so painful to look at!

But her dog, the one who would cry if she cut her hair, hadn’t shed a tear despite his injuries!

It broke her heart!

“Yes, thank you, Medicine Lord, for keeping an eye on these people,” Liang Yi said, reassured by the presence of Mu Jiangli, knowing that his martial arts skills were formidable. Then he left.

Liu Shimei looked down at Huangfu Lingyao and asked, “Lingyao, can you stand up?”

“Injured hand, not foot. I can walk!” Of course, the silly guy had to show his bravery in front of his wife.

He even had the heart to joke, “Wife, I told you I would protect you, didn’t I?”

At this, Mu Jiangli’s eyes turned cold.

Liu Shimei was entirely focused on Huangfu Lingyao, helping him stand up and sit by the railing, oblivious to Mu Jiangli’s expression.

Mu Jiangli asked, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, is Zhong Lang… working for you?”

His tone was surprisingly surprised, coupled with the mask he wore, it sounded rather sinister.

Liu Shimei suddenly remembered, Zhong Lang had a grudge with the Colored Glass Pavilion!

She hesitated and said, “Young Master Mu, I don’t know the grievances between Zhong Lang and the Colored Glass Pavilion or the Thousand Butterfly Valley, but… to be honest, I cured his Colored Glass Drunk poison!”

Of course, she didn’t reveal her Master Qi Yang’s involvement. If revenge was sought, it should be aimed at her, not Qi Yang.

Mu Jiangli glanced at her, scrutinizing for a moment, and asked, “Because you saved him, he’s willing to devote himself to you?”

Before Liu Shimei could respond, he continued coldly, “A man facing a life sentence in prison, willing to risk everything for a girl he barely knows? Nowhere to be found when it really matters!”

Liu Shimei looked up only to realize he wasn’t talking about her!

It turned out Zhong Lang had arrived!

Not only Zhong Lang but also the staff from the Yong’an Inn had come, along with Mu Jiangli’s people.

Seeing a few black-clad individuals lying on the ground, everyone was startled.

Mu Jiangli said in a deep voice, “Capture these people, don’t let them die yet!”

Then he turned to Zhong Lang and said, “Long time no see, are you well?”

Liu Shimei,

It sounded like Zhong Lang didn’t have a grudge with the Colored Glass Pavilion but with Mu Jiangli?

She felt her scalp tingling!

Zhong Lang remained expressionless, still as wooden as ever. He ignored Mu Jiangli’s words and walked up to Liu Shimei, lifting his robe and kneeling down on one knee.

Liu Shimei was shocked. “What are you doing?”

She didn’t appreciate this sudden act of kneeling without any prior conversation!
