Chapter 131: Distorted the Truth or the Human Heart?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although this was Liu Fuyun’s family matter, King Dun Yu had an engagement with Eldest Miss Liu, and Second Miss Liu was the candidate for the Crown Princess Consort. This was a relationship that was even closer than the previous one, so he had to ask!
“My dear Chancellor, there are always rumors that the Grand Chancellor’s Residence is foul and that you are not strict in managing the family. The family reputation is damaged. Even if I am willing to let the Second Young Miss of the Liu family be the Consort of the Crown Prince, the Empress will definitely not be willing, let alone the Empress Dowager! Don’t you agree?”
As a Chancellor, one had to be good at guessing the Emperor’s will. How could Liu Fuyun not know what the Emperor meant?
After receiving this Imperial Edict, Liu Fuyun called Liu Shimei to the study in the front courtyard after returning to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence.
He dismissed the irrelevant people, leaving only the father and daughter.
Liu Shimei was sitting on an armchair at the side, holding an ugly bald rabbit. She was stroking the bald head and pulling the rabbit’s ears from time to time.
“Tell me, what do you want?”
The first person to ask this question was obviously at a disadvantage!
It was a negotiation with a tendency to compromise.
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her father. “This person who stole things while I wasn’t in the residence, this idiot who did such a despicable thing, Father should know who it is in his heart.”
Her adjectives made the veins on Liu Fuyun’s forehead jump, but he still held back his anger. “Because Yan’er snatched your spot, you had to make Yan’er lose the Crown Prince Consort’s position before you will stop, right? Liu Shimei, you and Father agreed to let bygones be bygones!”
“Yes, that matter has been settled. But this is another matter!” Liu Shimei replied frankly. “Aren’t we talking about the robbery in my yard? She, Liu Yan’er, has been making things difficult for me time and time again. Even her mother has become an accomplice, and as her father, you are the one who is protecting her?”
She raised her chin and said, “I’ve said it before. If anyone offends me, I’ll kill them! She was the one who provoked me, it wasn’t me who was bent on making things difficult for her. Father, don’t you have a sense of right and wrong in your heart?”
Of course, Liu Fuyun knew who was right and who was wrong!
However, the problem was that the benefits were there!
Liu Fuyun held his breath and said, “No matter what, this is a family matter. Why do you have to make it known to everyone?”
Liu Shimei interrupted him, “Father, I didn’t make a big fuss. 1 knew that Father wouldn’t make a decision for me, but I didn’t want outsiders to say that my Grandfather was rudely interfering in the family affairs of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. That’s why I had no choice but to sue the Supreme Court and seek justice! As for everyone knowing…”
She shrugged. A straight body is not afraid of a slanted shadow. She had a clean conscience. Was she distorting the truth or the human heart?
“Father is the Grand Chancellor and has the ability to govern the country. I learned all these things from you!”
“You…” The dignified Grand Chancellor was rendered speechless by his own daughter!
Yes, even if she did not know the whole story at the beginning, after three days of questioning, she had already confirmed the whole story!
The person who sent people to steal things from Leihua Courtyard was Liu Yan’er, who could not get over her anger!
Firstly, it was to take revenge on Liu Shimei for breaking her leg.
Secondly, there were a few pieces of jewelry and fabric that Liu Yan’er liked very much. Liu Shimei had taken them back, and Liu Yan’er was unwilling to accept it.
Under these two circumstances, she was so angry that she took advantage of Liu Shimei’s absence to get someone to steal from Leihua Courtyard. She took the opportunity to steal a lot of property.
It was also because of this that Liu Fuyun could not keep his cool in front of Liu Shimei.
That was because he was in the wrong!
“Father, you don’t have to work hard on me. Lord Lu is a fair man. Heaven’s justice is long and slow. There will always be traces of what I’ve done. I believe he will give me justice that Father couldn’t!”
Liu Shimei dropped these words and stood up with the rabbit in her arms. She had no interest in continuing the conversation.
Liu Fuyun closed his eyes and said, “What else do you want? As long as it doesn’t jeopardize Yan’er’s position, just ask!”
