Chapter 407: Quite a Patient One
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Miaozhen paused, a bit bewildered, and after a moment of thought, she replied, “Did I have any enemies?”
It was evident that she hadn’t considered the possibility of foul play at all.
Liu Shimei probed further, “So, where was Miss Miao when this happened?”
Zhang Miaozhen vividly remembered, “She was right behind me. As soon as I fell, she grabbed me. But she did not have much strength. I was afraid the ice on the lake might crack open, so I asked her to let go and call for help. I didn’t want her to fall in too.”
“I see,” Liu Shimei mused, thinking to herself, “You were worried about her falling in, and it does sound like an accident, but… who knows, sometimes things are more calculated than they seem.”
But without concrete evidence, she did not want to say too much. Concerned that her dog was getting bored outside, she added, “His Highness and I came together. I was worried he might cause trouble if left alone outside, so I couldn’t stay with you. I’ll go check on the old lady’s condition. Once your foot is better, we can find another opportunity to meet and talk.”
Mentioning King Dun Yu, Zhang Miaozhen could not help but chuckle, “Why does it seem like King Dun Yu is so attached to you? He follows you everywhere.”
A smile crept onto Liu Shimei’s face, “Well, he is quite attached, but luckily, he’s not annoying.”
Zhang Miaozhen’s face held a teasing smile, “It’s not that you don’t find him annoying, it’s just that you’re willing to put up with it. If it were someone else, you might have a different opinion. You’re quite a patient one!”
Liu Shimei blinked, giving it some thought, and conceded, “Well, with someone else, I might find it annoying!”
To be honest, when she saw her own dog with that irresistibly cute and charming demeanor, she could not get irritated. Conversely, if he did not come to pester her, she would feel uneasy.
“That’s it,” Zhang Miaozhen chuckled. “Honestly, I envy you.”
Both were designated as future Crown Princesses. Although Liu Shimei’s reputation had been tarnished, she no longer had to enter that circle. It was undoubtedly a good thing. King Dun Yu would never be involved in political affairs, being the fool he was. No one worried that he would vie for the throne. So, Liu Shimei had now escaped the fate of being a pawn!
Of course, those with more ambition might not see it that way, but she…
A certain figure appeared in her mind, but she quickly dispelled it.
She could not think about it, she dared not!
“Well, no matter how difficult the road is, we all have to walk it. How do you know if you don’t try?” Liu Shimei noticed that she seemed preoccupied but did not believe their friendship had reached the point where they could confide in each other, so she did not say more. “I’ll leave now, I should have a look at Old Madam.”
As she left the courtyard, she saw her silly puppy sitting by the flowerbed outside, not knowing what he was doing.
He did not seem bored; he always found his own entertainment.
Liu Shimei walked over and called, “Lingyao.”
“Wife, you’re done?!” Huangfu Lingyao looked up, holding a little bug in his hand, and presented it to her as if it were a treasure. “Look, I found a very powerful little cricket!”contemporary romance
“Oh, how do you know it’s very powerful?” Liu Shimei asked, following his lead.
Huangfu Lingyao lowered his head and pointed to the one that had already died on the ground. “Because it killed that one!”
Liu Shimei could not help but laugh.
Who else would come to someone else’s house to catch crickets and even catch two fighting crickets?
Only her silly dg could do it!
“Can we go now?” Huangfu Lingyao patted the dirt off his hands and stood up.
As soon as he stood up, Liu Shimei regretted her low stature!
