Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei hadn’t forgotten her promise. Every day, he waited for her to have breakfast and, with a smile, agreed. He took her out to eat noodles.
One bowl of beef noodles for each person, Huangfu Lingyao scooped all the beef from his bowl and put it into hers.
One piece, two pieces… all of it!
He was very serious, as if he had never intended to keep a piece of meat for himself from the beginning!
Liu Shimei was surprised, “Aren’t you going to eat? I have some in my bowl!”
How could such a tall man have the energy without eating some meat?
But this silly puppy unexpectedly had such a thoughtful gesture. The old mother was truly gratified!
Huangfu Lingyao turned to look at her, smiling cheekily, “I’m such a big guy, Wife, you still need to grow, you should eat more.”
His face showed a silly obedient child, but his inner thoughts were complex: With this small frame, if she didn’t eat more meat, how would she withstand hardships in the future?
What if giving birth to children became difficult?
What if she flew away when there was a strong wind?
Moreover, the meat he wanted to eat wasn’t this kind of meat!
“You…” Liu Shimei saw him about to cover his bowl, not letting her put the beef back into it for him. She was really afraid that the noodle soup might burn his hand. Helplessly, she said, “Alright, I’ll eat.”
In her mind, she calculated silently, ‘Hmm, I should be even nicer to that silly fellow!’
After having breakfast, she went to Fusheng Pavilion. It was time for the silly fellow to have his free time while Liu Shimei went for her consultations.
One morning, she only appointments with two ladies. Really inefficient!
Fortunately, they all required several sessions of medicine, and if acupuncture was necessary, the consultation fee was terrifyingly high. So Liu Shimei’s income was quite substantial.
But she was smart. She usually carried other work with her. During the waiting time for cleaning or needle removal, she would do other things.
After seeing the two madams and finishing her work for the morning, Liu Shimei was about to return to Fusheng Pavilion to have lunch with the fellow.
As the carriage passed by the Zhang Residence, Zhang Miaozhen’s maid, Lian Zhi, walked out and hurriedly greeted her, “Doctor Liu! What a coincidence. I was just about to go to Fusheng Pavilion to find you, Eldest Miss Liu!” “What happened?” Liu Shimei asked, lifting the carriage curtain.
Lian Zhi said, “Young Miss is with the Old Madam, and the Old Madam’s leg ailment has flared up. She sent me out to find the gatekeeper to summon you.”
“In that case, I’ll go in now.” Upon hearing that it was Madam Li’s leg, Liu Shimei could only postpone her return to Fusheng Pavilion.
After getting off the carriage, she instructed Lu Ying, “You go back first and tell His Highness that I’ll be back later. Let him have his lunch without waiting for me. Also, go to the Liang family and inform Ninth Brother.”
Lu Ying acknowledged with a ‘yes’, and then he drove the carriage forward.
Liu Shimei, holding a cluster of forsythia flowers, followed Lian Zhi to the Zhang Residence for the second time for consultation.
What surprised her greatly was that Liang Sheng was also at the Zhang Residence!
“Seventh Uncle?” Liu Shimei was very surprised. “How come you’re in the Zhang Residence?”
Liang Sheng was equally surprised. “Oh, I made an appointment with the young masters of the Zhang family to practice horse riding.”
The Zhang family, like the Liu family, was a prestigious scholarly family. But because they had someone like Liu Quan, a talented person in both literary and martial arts, the parents couldn’t help but be competitive. The Zhang family also insisted that their children, while not necessarily learning martial arts, should at least know how to ride a horse.
To practice horse riding, they needed a teacher. After some consideration, the responsibility fell on Liang Sheng’s shoulders because of their similar ages.
Liu Shimei nodded. “I see.”
Coincidentally, Zhang Miaozhen came out to welcome Liu Shimei. Seeing Liang Sheng, she quickly curtsied. “Little General Liang.”
“Miss Zhang.” Liang Sheng politely nodded at her and then quickly averted his gaze.
For a brief moment, there was a flicker of disappointment in Zhang Miaozhen’s eyes. But she concealed it swiftly, so fast that Liu Shimei thought it was her imagination.
Liu Shimei began to have some suspicions in her heart!contemporary romance
