Chapter 24: Return the Items or Tear Down the House?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

How could the Grand Chancellor not know that Huangfu Lingyao had barged into the West courtyard with so many people?

Liu Fuyun walked over quickly. When he saw that the Silly Second Prince was about to beat up his wife, he hurriedly shouted, “What’s with all the noise, what are you doing?!”

It would have been better if he had not appeared, but the moment he did, Huangfu Lingyao seemed to have found someone who could make the decision. He rushed over and grabbed Liu Fuyun’s collar, and his beautiful eyes widened. “Hurry up, tell this ugly woman to return the things to my wife. Otherwise, I’ll tell them to tear down the house!”

Liu Fuyun’s brows raised slightly, and a doubt rose in his heart. Was he really stupid? With a five-year-old’s IQ, how did he know that to shoot a man, one had to shoot the horse first, and to capture the bandits, one had to capture the king first? Could it be that his intelligence was still there, but his brain had not been developed?

Liu Fuyun did not think too much about it and he choked. “King Dun Yu, you…”

A Grand Chancellor was actually grabbed by the collar, how embarrassing!

But Huangfu Lingyao could not be bothered by how dark this person’s face was, and he said angrily, “I’m telling you, when I tear down the house later, I’ll take whatever I like. You can choose whether you want me to return the items or for us to tear down the house!”

Liu Shimei was surprised again, look at this logic!

No matter what, this was a Prince that even the Emperor sympathized with. The unknown commoners could bully him, but the Grand Chancellor could not do it knowingly! Thus, Liu Fuyun endured it and removed Huangfu Lingyao’s hand. He looked at Madam Zhang and asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to take out all of Ruyi’s dowry?”

Madam Zhang’s lips stiffened.

Liu Shimei had been watching coldly from the side for a long time. Naturally, she could tell what was going on.

It was impossible for this couple not to be envious of so much property. Even Mo’er could see that there was a problem with the whereabouts of those items, so how could Liu Shimei not know? The Grand Chancellor and Madam Zhang must have planned it.

If she did not dare to pursue the matter, she would have to live with the consequences!

And now, the Grand Chancellor was forced to push the blame onto the woman!

What a lousy father and husband. To think that he was the Grand Chancellor!

“Alright, alright, what’s with this ruckus?” Liu Fuyun turned his head and looked at Liu Shimei. “Shimei, you are also in the wrong! If the accounts aren’t accurate, you can talk to the accountant or ask me about it. How can you let King Dun Yu cause trouble in your own home?”

This mean really knew how to talk!

Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes swept over to Liu Fuyun. Seeing that his Wife was being scolded, he was about to explode. Liu Shimei handed the rabbit to Mo’er, took a step forward, and pulled his hand, pulling him behind her.

She stood in front of him and met Liu Fuyun’s gaze. “Father, we’ll talk about the missing items later. Now, let’s sort this out. Your precious second daughter kept calling my fiancé a fool, and she also called me an idiot. How should we settle this matter?”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence!

Was she… standing up for that fool?

Huangfu Lingyao was also very surprised. He lowered his head and stared at the back of Liu Shimei’s head. He looked down, his thoughts unclear.

Liu Yan’er didn’t expect that the fire would suddenly spread to her. She quickly waved her hand and denied, “I didn’t say those things!”

“You didn’t?” Liu Shimei sneered. Her eyes flickered. “There are more than 20 people present. Most of them are guards of the Prince’s mansion. Do you really think we will believe you? I wasn’t the only one who heard it!”

She spoke slowly, but with a cold pressure!

Huangfu Lingyao looked down at his big hand, which was being held by Liu Shimei’s small hand. He lowered his eyes and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.

Her hands were usually used for calligraphy and painting, focusing on literature, so they were well-maintained and felt especially soft and smooth to the touch!

He then looked at the Eldest Young Miss Liu, who was standing in front of him to protect him. She was clearly shorter than him, but her aura was not weaker at all!

Especially the words ‘my fiancé’, he felt especially good hearing it!

King Dun Yu felt good, but the entire Liu family did not!

“Liu Shimei, just how long are you going to keep causing trouble?!”
