Chapter 225 - 225: Please Guide Me
March 26th.
Although Liu Shimei had not resigned from the Zheng Medical Hall in a good mood and could not be considered to have officially resigned, since she had abandoned her identity as Zhi Liu, it did not affect her too much.
As for Xu Xian…
Liu Shimei still remembered the palm print on his face that day, so she took Mo’er to the Liang family. She deliberately picked a time after work to ask Mo’er to find out which family Xu Xian lived in and ask him out.
When Mo’er went to find Xu Xian, Liu Shimei was drinking tea with her aunts in the front hall.
Her uncles and brothers who had positions had not returned home yet, and Liang Yi had gone somewhere to play. Only Sixth Aunt was at home.
Liu Shimei asked Shang Lu and Lu Ying to put down the things they brought and said, “These are some of the things that the palace bestowed to me. 1 don’t know if Aunties would need them, so 1 simply brought them over.”
“You can use these things. Why are you giving them to us?” Sixth Madam Jiang was a blabbermouth.
Liu Shimei chuckled. “I can’t use it all myself. There are many things rewarded in the palace. King Dun Yu also took great pains to bring me things from the Prince’s Residence. The courtyard is so small that it almost can’t fit.”
Madam Jiang still wanted to say something, but Madam Wang smiled and said, “Since Shimei is willing to give it, let’s accept it!”
“Oh, yes,” Madam Jiang suddenly understood and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not. It’s better for Shimei to save it. It’s better than staying in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Who knows when you’ll be robbed again!”
Madam Wang just smiled and said nothing.
Liu Shimei was calm. Anyway, she was not the thief, so what was there to be embarrassed about?
“King Dun Yu is a child, yet he still knows how to give gifts to his fiancee?”
Without waiting for Liu Shimei to speak, Madam Jiang continued, “A child’s temperament is a child’s temperament. That King Dun Yu sticks to Shimei every day. If we don’t give him something, it won’t look good to the royal family, right?”
“That’s true,” Madam Yin sighed slightly.
No matter what, even if Huangfu Lingyao knew what was going on, the Liang family would not be happy with this marriage.
They just had to accept it!
Liu Shimei knew that they cared about her, so it was normal for them to not like the silly dog. However, she still wanted to interrupt them from continuing this topic. “Aunties, you don’t have to worry too much. 1 know what to do.”
She smiled and saw that he was standing outside. She said, “Auntie, 1 still have something to do. I’ll come back later.”
Seeing her looking out, Madam Wang waved to her and said, “Go ahead, play while you’re still young. Remember that it’s dinner in a while, so don’t come back too late and let your grandpa wait for you.”
“I know.” Liu Shimei smiled and walked out.
After she left, Madam Yin asked worriedly, “Sister-in-law, don’t you think Shimei is a little too playful?”
“It’s a good thing that she’s playful.” Madam Jiang understood very well and said, “King Dun Yu will not be able to take charge in the future. If she only knows how to study and has no knowledge like before, how can she control the people in the Prince’s Residence? She had seen a lot and was much more knowledgeable. It’s better not to only indulge in books, classics, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting in the past. In the future, she would be able to establish her prestige when she entered the Imperial Residence!”
As the mistress of the household, the Wang family naturally understood this principle better.
“Sister-in-law is right.” Madam Yin stopped speaking.
After Liu Shimei left the hall, Mo’er told her that she had already called Xu Xian over. He was at the intersection of Willow Alley outside the Liang Residence’s back door..
