Shu Yutong blinked in surprise and looked at him, asking, “Aren’t you eating?” “I am! But I can eat something else. Since you like it, I’ll give it to you.” Huangfu Lingyao exaggeratedly sighed and said, “You’re still young, eat more, grow taller and stronger, so you can take good care of Wife in the future!”
His tone was entirely polite because of Liu Shimei. Shu Yutong’s guard dropped, and she said, “Okay, considering the meal, I’ve decided not to give you a hard time today!”
Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Little girls competing for affection could be annoying, but the way she looked now was quite cute.
He reached out and tugged at her braided hair, saying, “Wife is so busy, and you, so young, following her all the time, aren’t you tired?”
Shu Yutong blinked and swallowed the food in her mouth before asking, “Your Highness, you’re acting strangely today. Why are you suddenly so gentle with me? Do you want something from me?”
“Tch!” Huangfu Lingyao turned his head with a snort and said, “Being gentle with you isn’t good enough, huh? I suppose you’d prefer it if I scolded you every day?”
Shu Yutong was skeptical.
Worried that there might be a catch, she didn’t want to eat at first. But after some hesitation, she decided to eat first and then ask!
However, before eating, she had to make a statement, “Let me tell you, if you’re planning to drive me away from my master, you can forget about it!”
“Drop it!” Originally, Huangfu Lingyao had intended to talk to her calmly, but this little imp was getting on his nerves. His temper flared up again. “Same goes for you! If you think Wife would leave me for you, you must be dreaming!”
Shu Yutong,”…”
Very well, peace was just an empty phrase!
She didn’t even touch her Eight Treasures Rice and turned to leave.
Li Xin had been silently observing from the side. After the little troublemaker had gone far away, he withdrew his gaze and sighed, “This child is so clever at the age of six, what will she be like when she grows up?”
The key was, it seemed like His Highness couldn’t outwit her either?
At most, they’d be evenly matched?
Huangfu Lingyao snorted and glanced at him sideways. “What’s that look in your eyes? Do I really need to bother with a pitiful creature like her?”
Li Xin thought about it and agreed, “You’re right. If we really cared, we should have our subordinates deal with her! His Highness is not one to be trifled with. If he can’t tolerate Shu Yutong, he’ll surely take care of her in secret!”
Since he hadn’t ordered him to harm Shu Yutong, it meant Huangfu Lingyao had no intention of doing anything to her.
“Alright, handle the matter properly.” What Huangfu Lingyao was truly concerned about was how to expose those pests attempting to harm his wife!
Li Xin nodded and left.
In the following days, Liu Shimei was extremely busy, and in the blink of an eye, 20 days passed.
Every morning, Huangfu Lingyao came to the mansion to have breakfast with her. While she worked, he would be in the consultation room… diligently practicing calligraphy! If she had any free time, he would pester her.
During this time, Liu Shimei also visited the Zhang Residence for consultations three times. Through her acupuncture techniques, Li Shi unexpectedly regained some mobility. This incident caused quite a stir in the noble circles of the Imperial Capital.
Thanks to the efforts of internet trolls, the reputation of the Fusheng Pavilion soared to unprecedented heights.
On the other hand, the true pharmaceutical hall, which had suffered damage to its reputation due to Du Gong’s actions, lost at least one-third of its patients to the Fusheng Pavilion!
However, they remained strangely silent, which was quite suspicious!
One day, while Liu Shimei was examining a patient in the gynecology examination room, Shu Yutong entered and said, “Master, Xu Xian, the shopkeeper, said that Madam Miao and Miss Miao are waiting for you in your consultation room.”
Thinking about that mother and daughter, Liu Shimei’s lips curled downward in displeasure..
