Chapter 6: The Noisy Hen Who Just Laid an Egg

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Crown Prince will choose his consort on the 16th day of the first month.

The Liu family’s Eldest Young Miss, who was supposed to attend the palace banquet, became a disappointment because of a one-night stand with the Silly Second Prince. Her reputation fell from the clouds to hell!

The proud daughter of heaven became the laughingstock of the Capital City overnight. She lost her right as a consort candidate and caused a storm in the city.

Although she had avoided a beating last night, her body had been torn by the storm and the thorn stick had torn her skin and flesh. She was not feeling good at all.

Liu Shimei had a high fever in the middle of the night.

No one would care if she had a fever if she was not a noble daughter. Liu Shimei asked her personal maidservant, Mo’er, to help her with her body temperature with a cold towel. However, it did not subside after two hours. She could only drink water to lower his temperature and detoxify. “Mo’er, water.”

“The water is here!”

Just as Mo’er was about to feed Liu Shimei, a hand suddenly reached out and slapped the cup away!

“You want to drink water? Go to your new courtyard and drink!”

Both the master and servant looked over, only to see Liu Yan’er standing in front of them.

She had probably applied medicine to her face last night to get rid of the swelling. Today, she had put on a thick layer of makeup, and the five-fingered mark on both sides of her face was no longer visible. What a dignified beauty.

Silk and satin, a head full of pearls and jade, and beautiful makeup!

Compared to her usual delicate and weak body, she seemed to be very arrogant today. Her originally beautiful face also revealed a bit of bitterness.

“Good sister,” Liu Shimei sneered. “You’re not pretending to be a white lotus anymore?”

Liu Yan’er was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her smug expression. “Men, move all of Eldest Young Miss’s things to the Leihua Courtyard. Also, invite the Eldest Young Miss over there, and serve her well!”

This girl was too high-profile, like a noisy hen who had just laid an egg.

Liu Shimei really wanted to rush up and tear her face apart, but her high fever made her weak, so she decided to hold back for the time being.

She did not care about snatching the position of the Crown Prince’s Consort.

She had no interest in marrying into the royal family and becoming the Crown Princess.

She did not even mind losing the Lotus Courtyard.

However, Liu Yan’er had caused the original owner’s death and schemed against her. This debt would have to be settled sooner or later!

When Liu Shimei was sick, Liu Yan’er brought a large group of maids over. Mo’er could not stop them alone. Not long after, they were chased out of the Lotus Courtyard. Liu Shimei’s things were thrown into the Leihua Courtyard like garbage!

Leihua Courtyard was the most remote and simple courtyard in the entire rear courtyard of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. It had always been used to receive the family members of the servants in the estate!

The daughter of the first wife of the Grand Chancellor had been forced to live in such a courtyard, and this was a decision made by her biological father!

She did not need this father anymore!

“Miss, your things have been taken by the Second Young Miss!” Mo’er said angrily as she cleaned up the house.

Liu Shimei lay on the rough bed and experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell!

“Mo’er, can you go and ask where my mother’s dowry is now?” She frowned and thought for a moment.

She had fallen into such a situation when she had just arrived at this place. She had to find a future for herself.

She had no other strengths except medical skills, so she could only rely on her medical skills to gain her own independence. With these skills, she refused to believe that she could not make a name for herself!

“Oh right, I’ll go now!” Mo’er had always been a person with initiative, so she went quickly.

Not long after, the little girl came back and was even angrier. “Young Miss, Madam Ruyi’s dowry is being controlled by the madam. Madam Zhang won’t hand it over!”

Madam Ruyi was the Grand Chancellor’s first wife and Liu Shimei’s biological mother. She died of illness when Liu Shimei was five or six years old.

Later, Liu Yan’er’s birth mother was promoted to the official position. Now, everyone in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence called Madam Zhang ‘Madam’. As for the previous Madam, she was called Madam Ruyi.

Liu Shimei squinted her eyes. She really wanted to find Madam Zhang to settle the score, but that Madam Zhang was not easy to deal with. Not to mention that she still had a fever, and even if she had no fever, she might not end up well if she went over rashly.

No hurry, there’s still time!

After moving to Leihua Courtyard, she had some porridge. Because of the injury on her back, she slept on her stomach and took a short nap in a daze.

She had just fallen asleep when she heard a commotion outside.

“Eldest Young Miss has always treated you well. Now that Eldest Young Miss is in trouble, you want to leave? Do you even have a conscience?”

“You can’t blame us for this. A wise bird chooses a tree to perch on. The Eldest Young Miss today is not the Eldest Young Miss of the past!”

“You guys… You ungrateful dogs!”

“Mo’er, don’t scold us. It was Madam who said that we were originally from the Lotus Courtyard and should still be working there.”

“The Second Young Miss set up a trap to harm the Eldest Young Miss. What good can you do by following such a master?”

Hearing this, Liu Shimei could not bear to listen any longer and shouted, “Mo’er,”

Although her voice was not loud, Mo’er heard it and immediately entered the room. “Young Miss, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Or does the wound hurt?”

Liu Shimei, who was lying down, used her elbow to support her upper body. She looked at the girl in front of her and smiled, “Everyone has their own ambitions, let them be.”

“Even the mighty will fall one day. These servants are too short-sighted…” Mo’er’s face was tense, still unconvinced.

Liu Shimei’s words seemed a little sad, but her beautiful eyes did not show any dejection. Instead, they were filled with frost. “Although everyone has their own ambitions… Everyone had their own lives! Fate will always change, just wait and see!”

Encountering this kind of thing was like a big wave washing away the sand. It was just right to get rid of the two-faced people around her.

Mo’er’s expression finally improved. “Right, right, right. These dogs will definitely regret this in the future!”

She was not arrogant when she was in the limelight, and she did not give up when she was in trouble. This girl was indeed loyal. It was no wonder that they had grown up together. Liu Shimei felt a little comforted in her heart and asked again, “Other than you, who else is left in the courtyard?”
