Li Xin honestly admitted his fault, saying, “I failed in my duty, so I’ll take the punishment of a hundred lashes myself.”
“Hmph!” Although Huangfu Lingyao was dissatisfied, he couldn’t vent his anger on Li Xin. Li Xin was his right-hand man, handling many matters that he couldn’t deal with personally.
Moreover, Li Xin, despite being talkative, was quite efficient in his work. He carefully observed Huangfu Lingyao’s expression and asked, “Eldest Miss Liu… she’s not injured, is she?”
“If she’s hurt, I’ll cut off your arm!” Huangfu Lingyao glared at him.
Li Xin looked mournful and inquired, “Master, are you planning to enter the palace or return to the mansion to recuperate?”
Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao stared at him incredulously, “Do you think I’m out of my mind?”
“When dealing with other matters, you’re not this foolish! Are you a blockhead? I have a wife. If I’m injured, shouldn’t I stay by her side, let her worry about me, sympathize with me, and care for me… instead of silently nursing my wounds in the mansion?”
King Dun Yu frowned and scolded him, “With your mentality, you’ll never catch a wife in your lifetime!”
Li Xin thought, ‘Well, even if I can’t, I still have you, who promised to arrange one for me, right?’
But he didn’t dare to say it out loud!
Huangfu Lingyao gave him a disdainful look. His exquisite face was full of anger as he continued, “The case of Du Gong will proceed through official channels, but… if you don’t take this opportunity to implicate the Zheng Medical Hall, then you’re incompetent!”
“Yes, I understand, Your Highness.”
“Furthermore…” Huangfu Lingyao’s gaze turned serious as he continued, “Over at the inn, instruct the manager to organize things properly. I don’t care if others are killed, but if someone my wife cares about enters the inn’s territory, make sure they are protected!”
He hadn’t cared about such matters before. But things were different now; he had a wife!
His wife had many loved ones, and her loved ones were his too. He had to protect them all!
Even though the Liang family was not to be trifled with, he had to handle his responsibilities.
Li Xin understood his meaning and nodded, “Yes.”
With a wave of his hand, Huangfu Lingyao said, “Go quickly. The Liang family is vigilant; don’t let them discover you. If I stay in the Liang Residence for these few days to recover, you don’t need to stay by my side unless there’s something specific.”
Li Xin was highly skilled; the Liang family members couldn’t match his abilities, but there were always unexpected factors.
If Huangfu Lingyao wasn’t cautious, how could he have played the fool, undiscovered for seven years?
Knowing that his master intended to use this injury as an opportunity to build a relationship with the future princess, Li Xin didn’t reply. He turned and left. contemporary romance
When Liu Shimei and the others returned to the Liang residence from the local magistrate’s office, they found Liang Sheng standing at the entrance of the main hall, anxiously rushing over as soon as he saw them. He asked, “We just came back from the outer city, and we heard about Shimei being attacked. What happened?”
Without waiting for an answer, he looked at Liu Shimei and asked, “Shimei, are you hurt?”
Knowing that Liang Sheng was genuinely concerned about her, Liu Shimei reassured him, “Uncle Seven, don’t worry, I’m not injured. Lingyao took the blow for me. If he hadn’t been there today, I would have been in grave danger.”
Whenever she had the chance, she would promote her silly dog. It was good to have a little more favor from her family. After all, the Silly Second Prince was genuinely kind to her, and the Liang family treated her well too. So, she hoped they would accept him.
Mentioning this, Liang Yi also expressed his surprise, “I never expected King Dun Yu to be so brave!”
He decided that in future arguments, he would yield a bit more!
