Liu Shimei pondered her words for a moment before saying, “There are two things.”
Turning her head, she saw her silly dog with his hands resting on the table, cradling an exquisitely beautiful face, his eyes fixed on her with devotion, as if she were his everything!
This feeling was simply too good, something Liu Shimei hadn’t experienced in both her lifetimes.
She smiled slightly, finding his appearance incredibly endearing. Unable to resist the impulse, she reached out and touched his face, saying, “The first thing is, why did Miao Linglong have her brother bring a courtesan and invite Miaozhen to go out together? What’s the purpose behind it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt couldn’t be just to degrade Zhang Miaozhen’s status, could it?
Although mixing a wealthy young lady with a courtesan would indeed affect her reputation, it seemed like a lot of trouble for such a simple purpose.
Seeing that she was about to retract her hand after speaking, Huangfu Lingyao held onto it, allowing her to keep touching his face. His bright eyes shone as he said, “1 don’t think that Miao… Miao Longlong whatever, is a good person!” “Why?” Her interest was piqued by his words.
As for the nickname issue, she let it slide; her ‘dog’ was a genius at giving nicknames.
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her and thought, “I know a lot, but unfortunately, I can’t tell you everything!”
He could only simplify and say, “It’s about that Miao family… I’ve been to their house!”
“Oh?” Liu Shimei was aware of this. In the eyes of ordinary people, her ‘dog’ might seem crazy, but in reality, his memory and logic were quite exceptional.
It was hard to say whether it was because they had been spending so much time together day in and day out, but she had grown somewhat dependent on him.
When trouble arose, she instinctively protected him, but when pondering certain matters, she wanted to see what he thought. Who knew, perhaps thinking from a child’s perspective might provide an unexpected breakthrough?
So, she gazed at him with encouragement in her eyes, like she was coaxing her own pet dog to perform tricks, and said, “Please, go on.”
Since playing the role of the ‘Second Silly Prince’, Huangfu Lingyao had only felt this kind of trust when he was in front of Liu Shimei.
It felt really good!
He continued, “Their family… doesn’t have anything valuable! But 1 found that everything they make in the kitchen is valuable!”
Liu Shimei blinked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, in his eyes, everything valuable was related to food? She was a bit speechless and asked, “What kind of valuable things do they have?”
Given the status of the Duke An, if they weren’t known for their frugality, what did good food matter?
“Like, for instance?” Huangfu Lingyao squinted his eyes, trying to recall for a while, and then suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. He said, quite earnestly, “Like the parrot tongue, have you ever tried it? Next time, 1’11 ask Imperial Father to get some for you!”
As soon as he thought about giving something good to his wife, his focus shifted.
Liu Shimei’s lip twitched. “Let’s not bother. We can stick to ordinary food.”
It was not that she did not like wild animals, not out of a sense of moral superiority or opposition to others eating them, but personally… she really could not stomach these exotic foods.
After a moment of thought, she added, “The valuable things they eat at their house might all be bestowed by the imperial family, you know?”
No matter how virtuous a family was, they could not give away what was bestowed by the Emperor; that would be a grave disrespect to the Emperor!
“I don’t know about that.” Huangfu Lingyao still shook his head, saying, “And then… their paper and ink, they’re almost the same as what Imperial Father uses!”
Liu Shimai tilted her head, suspicion about the Miao family still lingering in her mind, but now a different suspicion arose regarding him.. “You can recognize paper and ink?”
