Chapter 531: Shimei, I Won’t Harm You
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei searched her memory for Wu Qiang’s face. What she found was a person similar to Zhong Lang. Wu Qiang was a personal bodyguard.
Liu Shimei wondered why Zhong Lang didn’t talk much. She didn’t know. But Wu Qiang, being in service to the imperial family, had signed a contract selling his freedom.
The rules of the Liu family were strict and old-fashioned; servants were not allowed to speak freely. Over time, this silence became his nature, even though he was still strong-willed.
Despite his quiet demeanor, he was strong-willed. Could someone like him, upon discovering his master had been deceived, not consider seeking revenge against the perpetrators, but instead, seek death?

Mu Jiangli glanced at her but didn’t immediately answer her question. Instead, he suddenly asked, “What will you do after finding out who the enemy is?”
Liu Shimei was stunned.
While she was still contemplating how to answer the question, Mu Jiangli continued, “If the enemy turns out to be someone you cannot defeat, entering the fray might not only shatter your understanding but also lead to the loss of your life and the lives of your loved ones, a price you may not be willing to pay. What then?”
Liu Shimei was once again left speechless.
This was almost like a soul-searching question —
Would you seek revenge for your brother’s death?
If you found out that the enemy was beyond your reach, would you still seek revenge?
If seeking revenge meant losing your life or even endangering the lives of your loved ones, would you still do it?
Such questions required deep contemplation before they could be answered!
“You don’t have to answer me,” Mu Jiangli said, looking at her. “I believe you should focus on your own affairs and protect the people you care about now. Your brother’s death might have some mystery, but it’s in the past. Don’t dig too deep. It’s for the best, for you and for the Liang family.”
Liu Shimei stared at him, suddenly asking, “Brother Mu, do you know something? Did Wu Qiang find something, and you’re afraid it’s too dangerous, so you don’t want me to get involved, is that why you’re not telling me?”
If Mu Jiangli wasn’t pretending to be good to her, he wouldn’t want her to walk into danger.
But—
She continued, “But this is my brother’s mortal enemy! If I know who the enemy is, how can I just let them roam freely?”

Mu Jiangli looked at her and said, “Matters of Jianghu have their own ways of resolution. And affairs of the court… even conflicts between nations have their own rules. Shimei, why disturb a hornet’s nest? I believe you only need to deal with the traitors within your family. As for external matters, it’s best not to interfere.”
Liu Shimei’s heart pounded rapidly.
So, his meaning was: Liu Quan’s death had far-reaching implications. It wasn’t just about usurping the throne; it involved the court, even the division and control of the entire continent?
How vast was this earth-shattering conspiracy?
She widened her eyes, unbelieving.
If what she was thinking was true, with her current abilities, she indeed couldn’t handle it!
“So…” Liu Shimei suddenly realized something. “You want me to uncover the traitors only. So, the hua ben book placed in my brother’s Jiuyun Courtyard study, was it your doing? Did you send someone to plant it there?”
Mu Jiangli surprisingly admitted, “Yes.”
Liu Shimei’s heart jumped, then she asked, “So, you wanted to guide me to investigate this, but later you came to warn me not to get too deeply involved?” She found herself increasingly unable to understand this person!
Mu Jiangli sighed softly and said, “Shimei, I hope you believe me.. I won’t harm you!”
