Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the study of the main courtyard.
Liu Shii entered without waiting for an invitation. Coincidentally, Madam Zhang had just brought so tea over. Upon seeing Liu Shii, her mature face imdiately twisted with disapproval. “What ti is it? A young lady who’s yet to be wed, parading around town all day and not returning ho even after dark!”
“Oh,” Liu Shii replied nonchalantly, “So, I’m not fit to be the Crown Princess like good sister Yan’er, who spends her days cooped up in her chamber embroidering for a living.”
She intentionally emphasized the words ‘cooped up’ and ‘Crown Princess’, mocking the fact that Yan’er could only lie in bed with her legs nding. It wouldn’t be possible for her to stand up for at least two more months, which ant she only had one month left before the selection of the Crown Princess!
Predictably, her words irked Madam Zhang to the point of frustration. “Yan’er’s situation has deteriorated like this all because of you! If you hadn’t broken her leg, her old injury wouldn’t have resurfaced, and she wouldn’t be confined to her room now.”
“I rember very clearly that we’ve already clarified this matter,” Liu Shii remained unruffled, even smiling. “So people just insist on offering their faces to be slapped. If I don’t slap them, I’ll feel cheated. Don’t you think, Madam Zhang?”
It was a double entendre.
It suggested that Yan’er was inviting trouble herself, but also that Madam Zhang was here to pick a fight.
Clearly knowing that she could not match wits with Liu Shii and yet unable to restrain herself, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
“You…” Madam Zhang wished she could smash the tray in her hands onto Liu Shii’s face!
“That’s enough!” Seeing this quarrel escalate, Liu Fuyun, fed up with the bickering, interjected, “Madam, you’re at such an age; why are you arguing with a child?”
After scolding his own wife, he turned to Liu Shii, but did not speak for a while.
Liu Shii fixed him with a cold, piercing gaze, leaving him montarily speechless. He had intended to say ‘As a junior, you shouldn’t address the head of the household with such an attitude’. However, when he t Liu Shii’s expression, not a single word could escape his lips!
She did not utter a word. This young girl in her early teens, with a rather slight figure, just stood there, her gaze chillingly fixed on him. It made even him, a Grand Chancellor, feel intimidated!
In the end, Liu Fuyun simply waved his hand and said, “Madam, please leave for now.”
Madam Zhang knew that due to a series of events, she had already earned her husband’s displeasure. She did not dare to be presumptuous and left, seething with anger.
She had to endure it!
If you asked whether it was worth it to do so much and earn her husband’s displeasure, the answer was, of course, yes!
As long as she got rid of Liu Shii, the Liu family would be her son’s inheritance in the future. And once her daughter beca the Crown Princess, with mother-in-law’s prestige, was there any fear of her position being shaken?
Furthermore, Liu Fuyun could not withstand the temptations of other won. She just needed one more chance to ensure the stability of their marital relationship!
Liu Shii did not care about what Madam Zhang was thinking. After the door closed behind her, she entered and chose a chair to sit on. She did not look at Liu Fuyun but instead lowered her head to tidy her sleeves, asking, “Father, did you have sothing to discuss with ?”
Liu Fuyun got straight to the point, “I’ve heard that you have been having close interactions with the Youngest Miss Zhang, from the Zhang family.”
Liu Shii was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected him to ask about sothing like this?
She furrowed her brows and asked, “So what if I am?”
Liu Fuyun continued, “Miss Zhang is also a candidate for the position of Crown Princess. What’s the aning behind your actions?”
Liu Shii looked at him and suddenly smiled, asking, “Father, are you suggesting that I should assist Yun’er in plotting against Zhang Miaozhen, just like last ti, to eliminate a rival? So, the only one left will be Miao Linglong, right?”
