“Miss Liu, allow me to explain,” Lian Zhi said indignantly. “In the end, it all boils down to that Cui Wei! We have nothing to do with her, but she’s from a brothel. Even Miss Yao doesn’t take her seriously. Yet, she insists on seeking attention! She provoked Lord Wan and then slipped away, drawing Lord Wan’s attention to our Young Miss. Lord Wan… made a move on our Young Miss. Fortunately, Ninth Young Master Liang was there!”

Liu Shimei furrowed her brows.

It was that Cui Wei again, the courtesan. It seemed she had disfigured herself, but her attack was not severe enough.

While she did not look down on the profession of courtesans, they should not engage in deceitful activities like this!

Before anyone else could speak, Lian Zhi continued, “This Lord Wan is utterly disgusting, dare to call himself ’Lord’, he’s just scum! Turns out, he not only dallies with girls but also with young men!” contemporary romance

She pursed her lips and glanced at Liang Yi, who had a constipated expression. “He even made inappropriate advances towards Ninth Young Master Liang, and that’s when the fight broke out.”

The matter was as simple as that, not to mention the bloodshed. It was the intricate web of connections behind it that was the problem.

Liu Shimei furrowed her brows again and said, “This Cui Wei deliberately shifted the focus onto me earlier, although I did reprimand her. But…”

She looked somewhat worriedly at Zhang Miaozhen and said, “Miaozhen, I don’t mean to sow discord, but until the Crown Princess is chosen, it might be best for you to limit your interactions with Miss Miao. Regardless, both of you are candidates for Crown Princess, which is a competition! It’s not that you should have ill intentions, but being cautious is necessary, don’t you think?”

Zhang Miaozhen took a moment to think, then nodded solemnly. “You’re right. I never thought much about it before, but today, 1 also noticed something off about those siblings. I’ll be more cautious from now on.”

“Sister, can we just go back now?” Liang Yi said, clearly annoyed.

Ninth Young Master Liang, since he was young, had been what Liang Wei called a ‘hooligan’. He had been in this line of work for many years and had encountered his fair share of men trying to pick fights. But being targeted this way was a first for him. He had a feeling that for a long time to come, the goosebumps that had risen on his skin from disgust would not go away!

Liu Shimei also felt that today had been quite disappointing. She had initially enjoyed the beautiful scenery and was looking forward to getting to know the Medicine Lord’. But this disgusting incident had ruined her mood, and now she wanted to go back.

Mu Jiangli had been standing outside the door all this time and now said lightly, “Eldest Miss Liu, can we have a word in private?”

Liu Shimei thought for a moment. She wanted to build a good relationship with Mu Jiangli, and he was the host here.

Whether the Valley Master of Thousand Butterfly Valley was also the Master of Colored Glass Pavilion, the world did not know. She could ask!

So she replied, “Alright. Ninth Brother, Shu Jun, you two stay here and rest for a while. I’ll go with Lingyao.”

Everyone else could be left behind, except for Huangfu Lingyao. He had to be kept close, like a dog that needed to be leashed, or he might run away.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao’s pitiful eyes finally improved. He looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to take his small hand.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Shimei approached, she held his hand and said, “Lingyao, be a good boy. Let’s take care of business first, and we can talk about other things later, alright?”

“Alright, alright!” The silly dog naturally obeyed his wife’s words.

Finally, with his wife holding his hand again, Huangfu Lingyao’s mood, which had been agitated all day, was slightly soothed. He thought to himself, ‘No, later on, 1 must be alone on the carriage with my wife. Send everyone else away!’

If he did not have some alone time with his wife soon, he would explode!

Before long, Mu Jiangli led the two of them to a bamboo house within the estate, where incense was burning and tea was served.

Once they were seated, he got straight to the point and said, “I apologize, Eldest Miss Liu, for what happened today that caused you such discomfort.”

“So, Master Mu, are you the Master of Colored Glass Pavilion?” Liu Shimei asked directly, tossing out the question that had been on her mind..
