Chapter 374:1 Feel Like a Scumbag Who Abandoned Her Husband and Child
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the eyes of those unfamiliar with the trade, ink and paper might all look the sa. However, the ability to glance at them and instantly recognize their origin – the source of the ink, the type of paper – involved a certain level of expertise. In her mory, Liusishei still retained the forr owner’s knowledge of these matters, which made her question whether Huangfu Lingyao rembered a lot of things!
But to say she was skeptical, that choice of words did not quite fit.
More accurately, she wanted to understand his symptoms. How much did he rember? Was his condition due to a jumble of mories, or were there gaps in his recollection? She and Qi Yang could not discern anything from his pulse, so she hadn’t dared to prescribe any dication up to this point.
With more insight, she could begin his treatnt.
Huangfu Lingyao hesitated, released her hand, and a look of bewildernt washed over his face. “I rember ink and paper! I might not recognize others, but Imperial Father…”
Here, he looked sowhat embarrassed and chuckled. “1 ruined so many of Imperial Father’s things. He got so mad, he used to throw his inkstone at while scolding . How could I not recognize them?”
Liusishei believed his explanation.
With his habit of constantly stealing things from the Empress and causing trouble in the Emperor’s quarters, nothing about him causing a stir was surprising!
She fell silent, wondering: The Miao family, known for their frugality, using ink and paper just like the Emperor… Was it a royal gift or… did it serve so other purpose?
Could a Duke be harboring ambitions to overthrow the Emperor himself?
Ideally, this won’t affect her!
As she pondered, Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her, his heart slightly tensing. He was afraid she might suspect sothing. She was so clever; if she rembered anything, it would be disastrous!
“Oh, 1 just rembered!” He quickly put on a look of realization. “Wife, 1 rembered sothing else!”
Liushimai snapped back to attention and asked, “What is it?”
Huangfu Lingyao, seeking praise, said, “Wife, 1 told you sothing useful. You have to reward !”
Liu Shii hesitated, and now whenever she heard the word ‘reward,’ she had an automatic reaction; she felt uncomfortable all over! Whenever he said the word ‘reward,’ it always made people’s minds wander in strange directions!
But he continued regardless, “When I went to their house last ti, 1 accidentally broke a vase. I was afraid of getting scolded, so I hid in their backyard. I saw two people who looked very strange!”
“What kind of people?” Liushimai asked.
Huangfu Lingyao pointed to his eyes and said, “Their eyes were blue!” Then he pointed to his hair, “And their hair was golden!”
Liu Shii blinked. “Blond hair and blue eyes?”
She thought for a mont and added, “That’s not surprising. Our Great Shu Dynasty is in an era of peace and prosperity, and cross-border trade is flourishing. Miss Miao’s mother is from the Western Regions, so it’s normal for them to have visitors from the Western Regions.”
“Oh, 1 see,” Huangfu Lingyao said, slightly disappointed, lowering his eyelids.
Then, his face drooped. “So, Wife, since I didn’t answer well, does that an there’s no reward?”
Liushimai sighed. This disappointed expression made her feel like she was a woman having an affair and abandoning her husband and child!
Instantly, he led her into his trap. “Lingyao, there is a reward!”
Getting her clear response, Huangfu Lingyao’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. He did not ask what the reward was; his face had already moved closer.
Such an obvious request for a kiss, if Liu Shii did not understand now, she’d have to question her own intelligence!
She sighed in resignation and gently kissed his cheek.
Honestly, a face as delicate as this was sothing any ‘face-loving’ person would be willing to kiss.
But…
This guy was notsatisfied!
“Wife, you’re not sincere!”
