Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Fuyun neither confirmed nor denied it. Her suspicious gaze fixed on her as she inquired, âIn this matter, whatâs your stance?â
Clearly, her speculation was quite close to the truth.
Liu Shimei took a deep breath and declared firmly, âLeaving everything else aside, if youâre asking me to help Yanâer, regardless of who weâre plotting against, my answer remains the same!â
She met Liu Fuyunâs piercing gaze and continued, âI wonât help her!â
Liu Fuyun frowned.
However, her response was within his expectations. He had even thought about how to persuade her.
But Liu Shimei hadnât finished speaking yet. âI can tell Father unequivocally that given Yanâerâs cruelty and the fact that her brain development was imperfect from the womb, Iâve been lenient with her by not stomping her out! As long as she doesnât provoke me, I wonât bother with her. Live and let live. I just hope she doesnât provoke others like she does with me!â
She stood up and said, âInstead of Father expending energy trying to convince me to help Yanâer or to deal with Zhang Miaozhen or Miao Linglong, it might be better to find a way to appease me. Let me spare her the next time she courts death in front of me, for your sake.â
Words that donât hit home are a waste, even though every time she could talk circles around others, quarrel until theyâre fed up. But always being like this, not even having a cup of tea in the process, she felt like she was losing out, you know?
She had made up her mind.
Liu Fuyun was indeed provoked by her. âLiu Shimei, do you still see me as your father?â
Liu Shimei halted and turned around, wearing a look of incredulity. She said, âOh, isnât the answer obvious? Father, youâre asking such questions, making me worry about your intelligence. When will you make a misstep in the court, dragging the entire Liu family down with you?â
âYou wretched littleâ!â Liu Fuyun, a civil servant, was so infuriated by his own daughterâs words that he grabbed a pen holder from the table and hurled it towards Liu Shimei.
With just her sharp tongue, Liu Shimei could infuriate the deceased enough to make their coffins rattle. She even managed to provoke a civil servant into acting so uncivilized.
Seeing the object hurtling her way, would she be a fool not to dodge?
She sidestepped the pen holder, but when she saw the ink stains it left on her dress, she could not help but frown.
This was a set of exquisite clothes specially given to her by her great aunt. She had worn it today to the Zhang Residence to display her dignity, and now it was ruined!
Her brow furrowed tightly. âLord Grand Chancellor, I can understand your frustration, but could you please be reasonable? Youâre the one who insisted on embellishing yourself and asking me such a ridiculous question. I gave you a face-saving answer, and now youâre angry⊠sigh, why are you so difficult to please?â
As she spoke, Liu Fuyun felt a surge of anger rising from the depths of his heart, reaching a boiling point â to put it simply, he was furious!
âLiu Shimei, I raised you, nurtured you all these years, and you treat me with this attitude?â
Liu Shimei calmly retorted, âFather, are you saying that even raising a dog requires gratitude?â
Liu Fuyun took a deep breath and repeated to himself in his mind, âAs the head of the civil officials and a close advisor to the Emperor, if I canât even withstand this slight irritation from my daughter, how can I handle the affairs of the nation or the intricacies of the court?â
After this self-admonishment, he finally composed himself. âFine, name your terms. What will it take for you to help Yanâer?â
Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei was genuinely surprised..
