Chapter 471: He Wouldn’t Need to Sleep Tonight
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei, the so-called embroidered belt with a decapitated golden oriole, was just his fabrication!
Lying to his wife, karma shouldn’t strike so quickly!
Huangfu Lingyao was utterly bewildered. Despite his acting skills, he was momentarily dumbfounded before responding, “Oh, that thing, it’s not important! It’s getting late, let’s finish this drink and I’ll escort you back.”
“It was a gift from your Empress Mother, isn’t it important?” Liu Shimei asked suspiciously.
Her silly puppy nodded, then shook his head, saying, “It’s not that it’s not important at all, it’s just… well, compared to Wife, of course, it’s not important!”
Flattery can win hearts, who doesn’t love sweet words?
No matter how rational Liu Shimei was, she was still a young girl. How could she not feel elated when her fiance said that his deceased mother’s keepsake was less important than her?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe smiled, saying, “You can’t compare it like that. If you find the belt, bring it to me, and I’ll figure out a way to fix the embroidery. It’s just a matter of some stitches, right?”
Huangfu Lingyao’s face stiffened for a moment. Eventually, he came up with a solution, “It’s too late today, and besides, even if I go out now, I won’t be able to find it! I’ve been searching for it long before you arrived! How about this…”
He thought of a solution, his eyes brightening, “When I find it, I’ll bring it to you, and Wife, you can mend the belt for me!”
Having a wife is indeed wonderful, having such a considerate wife is even rarer!
An unintentional move, and he snatched away this excellent wife from Huangfu He, truly hitting the jackpot.
Life’s joys!
Liu Shimei thought that it made sense and said, “Well, go ahead then, you go and look. When you find it, bring it to me.”
Huangfu Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief: thankfully, he had managed to deceive her.
They finished the small jar of lotus flower wine. Huangfu Lingyao called for Li Xin to prepare the carriage and escorted her back to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. He watched her enter the main gate and waited until it closed before instructing Li Xin, “You may go.”
Then he added, “Get me a belt embroidered with orioles. Not a new one, an old one. Remove the embroidery threads from the little bird’s head on top!”
The corner of Li Xin’s lips twitched. He had no idea what peculiar whim his master was following now.
Where was he supposed to find such a belt?
But Huangfu Lingyao paid no attention to the difficulty. He had given the task to Li Xin, so he settled back in the carriage, savoring the unexpected joy of the night, a smile playing on his lips that wouldn’t fade.
It was just a pleasant surprise, after all.
Under his relentless efforts, he had finally made his wife blossom like an iron tree, and her feelings towards him were no longer just that of raising a foolish son but a genuine attachment.
Oh, just thinking about it made him feel like he wouldn’t need to sleep tonight!
However, when he returned to his bedroom in the palace, he thought, “No, I do need to sleep. This is the bed my wife has slept in; it must be very comfortable!”
He immediately changed into his nightclothes, didn’t bother washing his face or wiping his hands, and just lay down on the bed!
Why wash his face? His wife had touched it;
Why wipe his hands? His wife had held them;
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy rinse his mouth? His wife had kissed him!
As for cultivating…
Let’s wait until his wife’s scent on the bed fades away!
When he saw a fallen hair on the pillow, he couldn’t help but startle. He then took out the little purse embroidered with his name that his wife had made, containing her cut hair!
Oh no, he really couldn’t sleep tonight…
Meanwhile, Liu Shimei, after returning to the Leihua Courtyard, despite the night’s adventures and encountering the silly puppy, didn’t suddenly feel low-spirited, but she couldn’t sleep right away either.
Choosing a female physician was work and could be done during the day. But investigating the cause of Liu Quan’s death was personal.
She kept her public and private matters separate!
After freshening up, she started studying the files.
Mo’er kept her company.
After about an hour, Mo’er asked, “Eldest Young Miss, have you discovered something?”
Because Liu Shimei had been staring at one spot in silence for a very long time!
