Liu Shimei’s expression remained unchanged as he said slowly, “Could it be Granny Huang?”
She was the old woman from Lotus Courtyard who had followed Liu Shimei. She was a subordinate of Liu Yan’er.
“Eh? How did you know, Miss?” Mo’er asked in surprise.
Liu Shimei chuckled and said, “Is this very difficult to guess? Granny Huang is with Liu Yan’er, and it was her first time following her new master. She had to do something to show her loyalty. The new master would most likely not trust the person who betrayed the old master. If she stayed in Lotus Courtyard, she might be ostracized by Liu Yan’er’s people. Then she definitely has to make a contribution!”
“So, she’s been eyeing Leihua Courtyard for merit?” Mo’er asked. “But now that we’re not in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, why is she still staring at Leihua Courtyard?”
Liu Shimei did not reply to this. Her hand was stroking Little Mute’s fur from time to time. After Mo’er helped her change the medicine, she said, “I’m afraid it’ll be a long battle if I stay here with the Liang family. I don’t know how long I’ll have to stay here. You and Nanny Li have also come over, so I’m not too assured.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMo’er was also quick-witted and immediately thought of something. “Miss, are you afraid for the things in our storeroom? Afraid that they might be stolen?”
Liu Shimei did not answer this question. He lowered his eyes and said, “Call Nanny Li over.”
“Yes.”
Soon, Nanny Li came over.
Liu Shimei gave her some instructions and asked Nanny Li to return to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to stay. Firstly, she could gather information and secondly, she could guard the storeroom.
Nanny Li knew that Liu Shimei had many people in the Liang family who were worried about her, so she did not need to stay here to serve her. Thinking about it, she was worried that there was no one in Leihua Courtyard to take care of the house, so of course, she would follow orders.
Nanny Li had just left when Liang Yi came over.
“Sister, look at what I bought for you!” The handsome young man came in with a food box.
It was easy to get along with people of the same age. Although Liu Shimei was already 30 years old in her previous life, she seemed to have found her youth again after coming here to live a new life.
She found the feeling of being able to act coquettishly in front of someone who cared about her. It was great!
She could act like a young girl in front of Liang Yi, but she could also talk to her brother, Liang Xun, calmly.
“My guess is that it’s the pastries from Ling Long Store.” Liu Shimei stared at the food box, a smile on her lips.
Liang Yi was stunned.
“Ninth Young Master, there’s a lot of branding of the Ling Long Store on your food box!” Mo’er burst out laughing.
“Alright then.” Liang Yi made a fool of himself, but he was very thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed at all.
He passed the food box to Mo’er and sat beside the round table with Liu Shimei.
“How are your injuries?”
It was a daily routine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were many people in the Liang family, and the uncles were elders of the opposite sex. It was not appropriate for them to come over to visit, so it was the aunts who came over. As for the younger generation, the older brothers were also very busy every day. Currently, Liang Yi, who was the Ninth Brother, and the younger brothers below had not yet had any tasks to do.
Her younger brothers were too playful and worried that they would affect Liu Shimei’s recovery, so they were not allowed to come over. Only Liang Yi diligently ran to the Qionghua Courtyard to attend to his sister.
Liu Shimei replied, “It’s probably scab over slowly. These wounds are mostly bruises. They look scary, but they’re not as serious as you think.”
“How is it not serious?!” Liang Yi disagreed. “You don’t know how scared Grandpa and 1 were when we went in and saw you lying in a pool of blood!” “It’s not that exaggerated!” Liu Shimei laughed. “It’s just that there are a few bleeding wounds. 1 was wearing light-colored clothes, so it looked scary.”
Most of the wounds were bruises.
She wore light-colored clothes to create this effect on purpose because she had already predicted that Liu Fuyun would hit her when she was angered.
It was easy to implement a self-sacrificing trick, but… How heartbreaking!
However, Liang Yi did not see her wound with his own eyes, so her words were not convincing.
Fortunately, even though he did not believe it, he still changed the topic and told Liu Shimei about what happened after Huangfu Lingyao went to the palace to complain.
“Sister, do you think your heartless father will come to pick you up?”
