Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Fuyun neither confird nor denied it. Her suspicious gaze fixed on her as she inquired, “In this matter, what’s your stance?”
Clearly, her speculation was quite close to the truth.
Liu Shii took a deep breath and declared firmly, “Leaving everything else aside, if you’re asking to help Yan’er, regardless of who we’re plotting against, my answer remains the sa!”
She t Liu Fuyun’s piercing gaze and continued, “I won’t help her!”
Liu Fuyun frowned.
However, her response was within his expectations. He had even thought about how to persuade her.
But Liu Shii hadn’t finished speaking yet. “I can tell Father unequivocally that given Yan’er’s cruelty and the fact that her brain developnt was imperfect from the womb, I’ve been lenient with her by not stomping her out! As long as she doesn’t provoke , I won’t bother with her. Live and let live. I just hope she doesn’t provoke others like she does with !”
She stood up and said, “Instead of Father expending energy trying to convince to help Yan’er or to deal with Zhang Miaozhen or Miao Linglong, it might be better to find a way to appease . Let spare her the next ti she courts death in front of , for your sake.”
Words that don’t hit ho are a waste, even though every ti she could talk circles around others, quarrel until they’re fed up. But always being like this, not even having a cup of tea in the process, she felt like she was losing out, you know?
She had made up her mind.
Liu Fuyun was indeed provoked by her. “Liu Shii, do you still see as your father?”
Liu Shii halted and turned around, wearing a look of incredulity. She said, “Oh, isn’t the answer obvious? Father, you’re asking such questions, making worry about your intelligence. When will you make a misstep in the court, dragging the entire Liu family down with you?”
“You wretched little–!” Liu Fuyun, a civil servant, was so infuriated by his own daughter’s words that he grabbed a pen holder from the table and hurled it towards Liu Shii.
With just her sharp tongue, Liu Shii could infuriate the deceased enough to make their coffins rattle. She even managed to provoke a civil servant into acting so uncivilized.
Seeing the object hurtling her way, would she be a fool not to dodge?
She sidestepped the pen holder, but when she saw the ink stains it left on her dress, she could not help but frown.
This was a set of exquisite clothes specially given to her by her great aunt. She had worn it today to the Zhang Residence to display her dignity, and now it was ruined!
Her brow furrowed tightly. “Lord Grand Chancellor, I can understand your frustration, but could you please be reasonable? You’re the one who insisted on embellishing yourself and asking such a ridiculous question. I gave you a face-saving answer, and now you’re angry… sigh, why are you so difficult to please?”
As she spoke, Liu Fuyun felt a surge of anger rising from the depths of his heart, reaching a boiling point – to put it simply, he was furious!
“Liu Shii, I raised you, nurtured you all these years, and you treat with this attitude?”
Liu Shii calmly retorted, “Father, are you saying that even raising a dog requires gratitude?”
Liu Fuyun took a deep breath and repeated to himself in his mind, ‘As the head of the civil officials and a close advisor to the Emperor, if I can’t even withstand this slight irritation from my daughter, how can I handle the affairs of the nation or the intricacies of the court?’
After this self-admonishnt, he finally composed himself. “Fine, na your terms. What will it take for you to help Yan’er?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shii was genuinely surprised..
