Leihua Courtyard.

Back on this side, Mo’er finally voiced her doubts: “Miss, what does the old lady mean? Does she want you to protect her in the future? I don’t think it’s necessary!”

Changge also raised a question, “In my opinion, the Old Madam is not that important in the Grand Chancellor’s heart. Is she afraid that after the Crown Princess’s wedding, the Grand Chancellor will send her to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple again? Is that why she joined forces with you, Eldest Young Miss?”

“That depends on the reason she was sent to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple in the first place!” Liu Shimei looked at Nanny Li and said, “Nanny Li, tell me, how did Madam Zhang scheme to send the Old Madam to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple? Our dynasty values filial piety, and the Grand Chancellor agreeing to such a thing must have been a blow to his own face. How could he let his adoptive mother live in poverty in the Grand Chancellor’s Temple for ten years without a word?”

Nanny Li recalled the events of the past and replied, “At that time, Madam Ruyi was gone, and you two siblings depended on each other. Watching you both lose your mother at a young age, my mood was also very bad. Therefore, I didn’t pay much attention to how Madam Zhang schemed. But as for the Grand Chancellor…”

She thought for a moment and used the most accurate adjective, “I remember, the Grand Chancellor’s attitude was very firm! After Madam Zhang proposed the idea of seeking blessings, the Grand Chancellor was even more eager than Madam Zhang to send the Old Madam away!”

Mo’er widened her eyes and said, “So, the Grand Chancellor and the Old Madam had a falling out?”

Nanny Li nodded.

Liu Shimei said, “It is said that the kindness of raising a child surpasses that of giving birth, especially in families like the Liu family. There are many reasons for a mother and son to fall out, and it’s not likely to be a simple matter in this case. Moreover… I have a strong intuition that the conflict between the Old Madam and the Grand Chancellor may be an unsolvable deadlock!”

The crowd looked at each other in astonishment.

“Well, things have to be dealt with one by one. We’re anxious to know the inside story, but it’s useless if they won’t talk.”

Liu Shimei pursed her lips and sighed, “My brother’s matters haven’t been clarified yet, and now my mother’s issues have surfaced again. Now, there’s even a rift between my grandmother and father? This complicated family background is truly exhausting!”

After much thought, she concluded that her silly dog had the best mentality, free from all these messy thoughts!

Thinking of Huangfu Lingyao, Liu Shimei’s mood improved slightly. She said, “Tomorrow, I won’t go to the Fusheng Pavilion. I’ll visit the Liang family to deliver gifts. I’ll be back after having lunch.”

“What about Second Young Miss’s wedding?” the maid asked. “Eldest Young Miss, are you going to attend Second Young Miss’s wedding?”

Liu Shimei’s lips curled coldly as she replied, “What does her marriage have to do with me? I’m only responsible for helping her pass the bridal night. I don’t care about anything else!”

After a pause, she sincerely smiled and said, “I’ll be getting married myself in a month. Isn’t it better to mind my own affairs?”

“That’s true.” When it came to Liu Shimei’s marriage, everyone became cheerful.

Even if she was marrying the Second Prince who was a bit foolish, he sincerely cared for their Eldest Young Miss!

More importantly: Eldest Young Miss liked him!

Tired from dealing with the matters of the Liu family, after days of continuous rain, the weather had finally cleared. The night was a bit chilly, so Liu Shimei had Mo’er prepare a bath for her, intending to soak in hot water. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

While washing herself, she contemplated things when suddenly she heard some noise from the window!

Instinctively, she looked towards the sound and sternly exclaimed, “Who is it!?”

Before long, the window opened, revealing a face as exquisite as a fairy.

Liu Shimei was shocked, “Lingyao? Why are you here?”
