Liu Shimei stepped across the threshold, and her gaze swept the room as she entered. Seated in the main position was an unfamiliar old woman, with a weathered face and hair like a crane’s feathers.
Accompanying Lady Zhu, Liu Fuyun took a seat in the main position, leaving Madam Zhang to sit below.
Even with several guests who had cto pay respects to Old Madam Liu, she found it difficult to control the lengthening of her face.
But in Madam Zhang’s eyes, there was more lack of confidence in the future. Even if her daughter becthe Crown Princess, it filled her with worry.
This mother-in-law, with such malicious tactics, had cback with them. The fear of being dominated by whips in the Grand Chancellor’s Temple haunted her!
In her heart, Liu Shimei thought, ‘Evil begets evil. Lady Zhu treated my mother poorly; you deserve it! Madam Zhang is cunning and ruthless, and one wickedness begets another. You deserve to be afraid!’
However, she had to maintain a certain appearance. She approached and bowed respectfully, “Shimei pays her respects to Grandmother!”

Lady Zhu didn’t recognize Liang Yi, and Liu Fuyun explained on the side, “This is Ruyi’s maternal nephew, General Liang’s ninth grandson.”
He wasn’t pleased that Liu Shimei brought her cousin along. How could he not know that she brought him to show support!
“The Liang family has arrived, which means you won’t be able to bully Liu Shimei, this orphan, anymore.”
“I see.” Lady Zhu nodded, sighing, “Having lived in the Zen Temple for many years, I didn’t understand the splendor of the Imperial Capital. Now that I’ve returned and seen it again, these children have all grown up. It truly feels like everything has changed!”
Her words, both spoken and unspoken, essentially conveyed: I suffered a lot leaving the Imperial Capital, and now that I’m back, accounts will be settled sooner or later!
Madam Zhang’s expression beceven more unpleasant.
Especially when Liu Shimei and the Liang siblings paid their respects to the old lady without acknowledging her, it seemed as if her dignity had been pressed onto the ground and rubbed!
Madam Zhang sat beside Liu Yan’er, while Liu Anhe and the others from the Liu family sat on the other side.
The entire Liu clan was present, a lively gathering with a prosperous number of family members, not losing to the Liang family.
However, the Liu family lacked warmth in their relationships, and there was no atmosphere of joy and harmony compared to the Liang family.
Liu Shimei spoke to Liu Fuyun again, “The imperial edict has been issued, and Sister Yan’er has been chosen. It’s a joyous occasion, and congratulations are in order.”
Liu Yan’er’s face stiffened. Despite the presence of so many people, she remained silent, carrying herself with the pride befitting a future Princess Consort.
Seeing Liu Shimei’s insincere smile, how could Liu Fuyun not feel repulsed?
He understood her meaning: I promised to help Liu Yan’er becthe Princess Consort, and I delivered!
Suppressing his internal calculations, Liu Fuyun smiled and said, “This is a joyous occasion for the Liu family. As a member of the Liu family, you naturally share in the happiness. In the next few days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don’t need to be busy; stay at hand accompany your sister during her wedding!”
“Yes,” Liu Shimei replied promptly.
She also understood his implication: You promised to help Liu Yan’er on her wedding night, don’t forget!

In an orderly manner, Liu Shimei approached, and Liu Anhe and others stood up, saying, “Big Sister, please sit here.”
They were considerate and well-mannered.
Seeing him stand, the people around him had no choice but to give way.
After all, Liang Yi was a guest!
Liu Yan’er was a sister, but she would be the Princess Consort in two days, naturally, no one could ask her to give up her seat for Liu Shimei.
Liu Shimei glanced at Liu Anhe and smiled faintly, “Anhe is sensible.”
Taking Liang Yi, she sat down without hesitation. Seeing this, Madam Zhang’s face beceven longer, thinking, “Why should my son give up his seat for this little b*tch!”
But after glancing at Lady Zhu’s old face, she didn’t dare to speak up.
The joy of her daughter being selected as the Princess Consort had completely disappeared!
