Chapter 116: Asking for Money
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Liang family was not like the Liu family, who would give up any of their descendants for the sake of the family’s interests!
“So, Grand Chancellor, you mean to confirm that Shimei is being treated unfairly in the Liu family?” Liang Yong said coldly.
After Liang Wei stood up, Liang Yong, the eldest son, led the others to stand up and stand behind Liang Wei.
A group of Generals, old and young, stood in unison. It could be said that they had an imposing aura!
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can’t explain his reasoning. No matter how good Liu Fuyun was at arguing with scholars, he could not win against a group of troublemakers by himself!
He simply asked the core question, staring at Liu Shimei and asking, “So, Liu Shimei, are you unwilling to return to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence with me today? Are you determined to cut ties with the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and take root in the Liang family?”
As the Grand Chancellor, he still did not panic even now.
“So what if she stays in the Ling family?!” Liang Wei said coldly. “I will enter the palace in a short while and ask the Emperor to decide on this matter! No matter what, we are now half a daughter-in-law of the royal family. The Emperor will definitely not ignore this matter! Besides-”
He looked at Liu Fuyun with an extremely cold gaze and continued, “On the night of the Lantern Festival, it wasn’t just Shimei who was schemed against, Prince Dun Yu was also schemed against! How dare you drug King Dun Yu!”
They did not know who had drugged Huangfu Lingyao, but if they blamed it on Liu Yan’er, wouldn’t it be better?
Liu Fuyun’s expression could no longer be maintained. “Father-in-law, this is a family matter. Why do you have to raise it to national affairs?”
Liang Wei went along with his words and said, “Alright, if you insist on saying it’s a family matter, that’s fine too! Tell me clearly, your unpresentable daughter schemed against us, how are we going to settle this matter?!”
Liu Fuyun held his breath.
Liu Shimei sneered and thought in her heart, ’Liu Fuyun really thinks that the former mighty General is just a General? Brainless Generals would either die on the battlefield or make enemies in the court. They would have been killed 800 years ago! How could he let the Liang family have children and grandchildren?’
Liang Wei looked at Liu Shimei and asked gently, “Shimei, tell Grandpa how to deal with that dog.”
Liu Yan’er had never shown her face, and now she had become a dog?
Liu Shimei shook her head helplessly in her heart, ‘That’s really unfair! Dogs are much better than people like Liu Yan’er. At least, I like dogs that would always look up at me with devout eyes!’
Everyone thought that Liu Shimei would definitely make Liu Yan’er suffer a crushing defeat today!
Unexpectedly, she only smiled lightly and said, “There’s no need to deal with her!”
“Shimei?” Liang Wei was stunned. He was confused by this sudden change.
Liu Shimei smiled. Although she was mocking him, she was still beautiful.
“Even if I kill Liu Yan’er, my innocence will be ruined. Even if Liu Yan’er’s reputation is ruined, my reputation will be tarnished. Although you all feel that I’m wronged by being engaged to King Dun Yu, I don’t think so. King Dun Yu treats me extremely well, it might be a blessing in disguise!”
Hearing this, Puppyface, who was outside the door, could not help but push Liang Yi away and barge in. “Wife, do you really think I’m good to you? You really don’t regret getting engaged to me?”
That silly smile on his face was unbearable.
Only Liu Shimei remained calm. She squeezed his hand and said softly, “Wait at the side. I’ve settled the bill. Let’s go out and eat delicious food later!” “Alright!”
He was truly a peerless obedient dog. With a command and an action, he quickly stood to the side.
Liu Fuyun, who saw her interact with Huangfu Lingyao for the first time, was secretly surprised.
Liu Shimei continued, “Of course, I can’t just let go of the grievances I’ve suffered. But since an eye for an eye can’t restore everything to its original state, then… Father, shouldn’t you give me some compensation?”
Hearing this, everyone understood what she meant.
She did not want to kill Liu Yan’er. She wanted compensation!
“You—”
Liu Fuyun had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Liu Shimei, “I won’t ask for too much. Since my marriage was single-handedly arranged by Liu Yan’er, let’s not talk about anything else. Father will give me enough dowry. What do you think?”
It turned out that this had become a transaction!
“How much dowry do you want?” Liu Fuyun frowned..
