“Here, you brought a guard, so I’m asking you to help me with something. You must help me deliver it!”
Liu Shimei handed the envelope to Iluangfu Lingyao.
Huangfu Lingyao looked up at her and asked innocently, “Wife, don’t envelopes have to be sealed?”
Was it because he could not understand the letter, or was there another reason?
Liu Shimei replied, “I believe that you will do your job properly and won’t let others see it.”
So that was the case? Huangfu Lingyao lowered his eyes and took the letter. “Alright, I will definitely do it!”
He did not say much.
The two of them returned to the front yard. The interrogation was halfway through.
As the saying went, it was difficult for an upright official to decide on a family matter. No matter how fair and strict Lu Mou was, this matter was probably a family matter of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. He stood on the side of an outsider and could not be biased.
Therefore, he did not jump to conclusions.
Liu Shimei was not in a hurry and sent Huangfu Lingyao out.
It was rare for Huangfu Lingyao to come by carriage today. The Liang Residence and King Dun Yu’s Residence were actually in the same direction. After he got on the carriage, he stared at the envelope in his hand. The corners of his lips curled up as he stuffed it into his pocket.
The carriage moved forward step by step, neither fast nor slow.
After turning the corner and walking two streets, the person in the car suddenly whispered, “Li Xin, follow Liang Jiu closely and add fuel to the fire for what he will do in the next few days. Stir up the trouble in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, make it as big as you can.”
The coachman was a young man in his twenties. He was not surprised at all when he heard this. He replied, “Yes, Master.”
The person in the carriage did not say anything else.
The sound of the carriage wheels creaked as it gradually disappeared into the night.
Of course, Liu Shimei did not know what happened after Huangfu Lingyao left. When she returned to the front yard, she saw that Lu Mou had already come out.
“Lord Lu, you’ve worked hard!” she curtsied.
Lu Mou put on a poker face and said coldly, “Young Lady Liu is too polite. This is Lu Mou’s duty.”
He then bowed to Liu Fuyun and said, “Please forgive me for disturbing Lord Grand Chancellor for a long time. There are many people in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. If they want to get to the bottom of everything, not to wrongly accuse anyone, and to give justice to Eldest Miss Liu, I dare not ignore them. I will come again tomorrow, please forgive me.”
“Lord Lu, you must be joking.” Liu Fuyun’s expression was not very good, but he did not say anything bad to Lu Mou.
No matter how unhappy he was, he still had to have the bearing of a physiognomist.
Lu Mou bowed again and led all his subordinates to leave with the files they had investigated today.
Liu Fuyun ordered the second son of Madam Zhang, Liu Anhe, to send him off.
After the outsiders left, Liu Fuyun’s expression towards Liu Shimei was even worse than when Lu Mou was around!
“Tell me, what do you want to achieve this time?” Liu Fuyun did not even want to look at his daughter.
Liu Shimei’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “What other motives could I have? Now that 1 have a mountain of gold and silver, 1 don’t lack money. 1 don’t really care about the stolen property. However, the nature of this matter is here. I hope that the Grand Chancellor will understand.”
Her gaze shifted and looked at Madam Zhang. She said coldly, “Stealing a tael of silver is also stealing. This isn’t about money. You stole it when I wasn’t around. This is a provocation to me! If I don’t get to the bottom of this matter, who knows what might be stolen from Leihua Garden in the future?!”
“What do you mean by saying this to me?” Madam Zhang felt that Liu Shimei’s words were no longer insinuating. She was simply going straight to the point!
“What do 1 mean?” Liu Shimei sneered.
If Madam Zhang did not do this, she would definitely investigate and prove her innocence.
However, Madam Zhang did not go. In that case, it was most likely not her, but her son or daughter!
Madam Zhang was furious. “Liu Shimei, don’t think that you can fly just because you have the Liang family backing you up!”
Liu Shimei ignored her and turned to look at Liu Fuyun, “I hope that after Lord Lu finds out the truth, Father will be fair. If you can’t… Ha!”
With a cold laugh, she did not continue. Instead, she bowed slightly and said, “It’s getting late. Everyone, rest early!”
She flung her sleeves and turned to leave!
If you can’t, someone will force you to be fair!
