Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Madam Zhang left in a fit of anger, she actually braced herself and came back the next day!
Madam Jiang was still the one who entertained her, but Madam Zhang was clearly much smarter than yesterday. She refused to say anything to Madam Jiang and asked to see Liu Shimei!
She thought to herself, ‘I can’t deal with the Liang family’s women, but I can deal with a stepdaughter!”
Since her name was called, Liu Shimei could only come out of the hall to meet the guests.
She sat at the bottom and smiled faintly. “It’s rare for Madam to come and pick me up. I’m flattered!”
Madam Zhang and Madam Jiang sat together in the main seat. When they saw Liu Shimei come out, Madam Jiang was drinking tea at the side as if it had nothing to do with her. Madam Zhang was furious when she saw Liu Shimei’s expression.
This little slut was indeed living well in the Liang Residence. No wonder she refused to return to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence!
The golden hair on her head swayed, and her tassels fluttered along with her movements. Her complexion was much better than when she was living in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. With just a glance, she knew what strength and beauty meant!
She was dressed in fine silk and satin, and she had never been treated unfairly in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. However, to the Liang family, she was a granddaughter of no value, so why should they hold her in their hands?
Madam Zhang’s heart ached, and her words became even more sour. “Shimei, the Grand Chancellor ordered me to pick you up. You’ll go back with me today.”
“Go back?”
Liu Shimei stepped on this word and went hard on Madam Zhang. “Madam, don’t you think it’s a little funny? I remember that day, the Grand Chancellor personally said that if he could not kill me, he would chase me out of the house! I’ve also said that if I’m lucky enough to survive, I’m no longer the daughter of Grand Chancellor Liu Jun!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Jiang looked very shocked and said, “What?! Did Lord Liu really say that he wanted to expel you from the house?”
The corners of Liu Shimei’s lips curled up mockingly as he looked at Madam Zhang and said, “Sixth Aunt, you can ask Madam. At that time, Madam was sitting at the side and heard it clearly!”
Madam Jiang’s face immediately darkened. She did not hold back at all and looked at Madam Zhang. Her eyes were filled with daggers as she asked, “Grand Chancellor’s Wife, did such a thing happen?”
“I…” Madam Zhang wanted to deny it, but this kind of thing was not something that the Liang family could be believed because she said it did not happen!
Liu Shimei did not give her a chance to speak. She smiled and said, “If Madam had watched the fire from the other side that day, it would have been fine. But at that time…”
She tilted her head, and the tassels on the hairpin swayed, looking very beautiful. However, the smile on her lips was chilling. “At that time, you added insult to injury and fanned the flames.”
“It was clearly you who broke Yan’er’s leg. I was too sad, that’s why I said those angry words!”Madam Zhang finally found an excuse and said loudly. “Liu Shimei, you were in the wrong first. How can you blame me?”
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow and said, “I was wrong first? Why don’t we take this matter to the Supreme Court? The Emperor is the ruler of the country, but I won’t ask the Emperor to seek justice for me. Let’s go to the Supreme Court to reason things out!”
The smile on her lips gradually spread as she said, “As long as we can bring this matter to the Supreme Court, I’ll admit to the incident of breaking Liu Yan’er’s legs. Madam, this is a good thing for you!”
“Liu Shimei, don’t be too arrogant!” Madam Zhang stood up abruptly.
Liu Yan’er’s broken leg was tightly covered up. For the past half a month, she had been recuperating in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and did not dare to go out. She announced to the outside that she had caught a cold, so she rejected all invitations from the noble ladies.
If she exposed it, that would be terrible!
