Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
The temper of this silly dog seemed as if all he needed was for Miao Linglong to admit that her mother had indeed scolded Liu Shimei, and he would storm into the main house of the Western Courtyard, treating Madam Miao to a beating!
In fact, it wasn’t just an ‘as if!
He really intended to do just that!
“Very good! Wife has just recovered from her illness, her scars haven’t even healed yet, and she willingly came all the way here to help your mother. How dare your mother insult her!”
With that, he charged toward the yard!
Miao Linglong stood there dumbfounded.
Knowing her dog’s nature so well, Liu Shimei quickly grabbed the impulsive fellow, who was like a bulldozer, and said, “Lingyao, listen to me first!”
The eager body of Huangfu Lingyao, rushing inside, was halted by her pull.
Not that he could not shake her off, but how could he bear to?
His beloved Wife, if she were to hurt even a finger or scratch her skin, he would be heartbroken!
But he was full of indignation. “Wife, that old woman dares to insult you! I won’t allow it! Wife, you can’t bear to scold others, so why should others be allowed to scold you!”
He shook his head. “No, I’m going to teach her a lesson. Knock her front teeth out, and she’ll learn not to speak nonsense anymore!”
He was about to go again!
Liu Shimei quickly held his sturdy arms with both hands, firmly keeping him from leaving, and said, “I’ve scolded her back; let’s just forget about this incident! Lingyao, come back with me… No, I’m a bit tired; could you carry me back? Is that all right?”
It could be said that, to pacify her raging bulldog, she would stop at nothing!
Reasoning didn’t work; she could only resort to emotions.
Huangfu Lingyao was not really a fool; he had heard her words clearly. He hesitated for a moment but did not rush inside. He lowered his head to look at her and asked, “Wife, do you really not want me to go and beat her?”
“No, no need!” Liu Shimei did not dare to let go; the moment she loosened her grip, the dog would dart out.
She thought, Why bother beating Miao Madam? Miao Linglong will definitely tell her mother what I said earlier. By that time, her illness will teach her how to be a decent person!
Sexually transmitted diseases were such that if one person in a marriage had it, the other was likely infected too. In ancient times, with the system of multiple wives and husbands possibly engaging in extramarital affairs, if one person got sick, it could spread like wildfire!
It was similar to a well-known joke: a wife tells her husband, “You better behave and not bring diseases back from your affairs. If I get sick, your dad will get sick; if your dad gets sick, your mom will get sick; if your mom gets sick, the village chief will get sick; if the village chief gets sick, the whole village will get sick!”
Although this joke was a bit disgusting and the relationships were messy, it applied to the current situation in Duke An’s Residence!
However, she could not use this kind of joke on the silly puppy. Liu Shimei looked up at him with a helpless expression and said, “Lingyao, I don’t want to walk anymore. Carry me, please.”
Her pitiful look was usually her silly puppy’s best weapon, but this time, she used it on him!
Indeed, Huangfu Lingyao fell for her act!
Actually, he could see that Liu Shimei was intentionally saying this to deceive him and stop him from confronting others. He could see through his wife’s little tricks, but he didn’t expose her. He obediently squatted down in front of her and said, “Alright, I’ll carry you back!”
Liu Shimei quickly climbed onto his back, and once Huangfu Lingyao had his wife on his back, without even acknowledging Miao Linglong, he walked straight out.
Miao Linglong stood in place, still shocked by the revelation that Liu Shimei had made: her mother had a sexually transmitted disease!
This thing could be transmitted through intercourse. Did that mean all of her father’s wives and concubines were infected too?
The situation was dire. She did not have time to stop Liu Shimei. Instead, she hurriedly ran into the main house to tell her mother!
After carrying Liu Shimei out of Duke An’s Residence, Huangfu Lingyao, while on the carriage, asked, “Wife, you won’t cure Miao’s mother’s illness, will you?”
Liu Shimei held his hand, a cold smile playing on her lips, and said, “Cure? Why not? Of course, I will cure her. It’s just… when they come begging at my door, crying and pleading, I won’t just stop at taking a layer of skin off them.. I’ll make them turn my name, Liu Shimei, upside down!”
