Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples!
“Madam Zhang is still threatening Eldest Miss Liu!”
“Have you forgotten? Eldest Miss Liu had stayed in the maternal grandfather’s house for a month because the Grand Chancellor had beaten her half to death!
It could be seen that her days in the Grand Chancellor’s residence were difficult!”
H H
The mob was on offense!
Madam Zhang panicked!
Even though Liu Fuyun was the Grand Chancellor of a dynasty and had a lot of brains and schemes, he still felt helpless when faced with such a group of people who deliberately put on a disguise to make fun of him!
He took a step forward and said, “Shimei, If you have any dissatisfaction with me, just come at me. There’s no need to make things difficult for your stepmother! She might have done something wrong, but she had managed the family well and had put in a lot of effort for the Liu family for many years.”
These words were appropriate. The Grand Chancellor’s crisis management skills were displayed here.
But…
After all, the path in front of him was the one that Liu Shimei had planned everything out!
“Yes, Father is right.” Liu Shimei accepted the Grand Chancellor’s reprimand generously.
She turned around to face Wang Lan, lifted her skirt, and knelt down. Her words were sonorous and forceful. “If 1 may be so bold, all the mistakes originated from me. I should never have submitted a complaint to the Supreme Court! It was my fault. 1 am willing to accept your punishment. 1 will drop the charges and not pursue the theft of the property!”
When she said this, it triggered an even more intense discussion!
“What? Is Eldest Young Miss Liu crazy?”
“Oh my god, she’s afraid that the Grand Chancellor will make things difficult for her when she goes back, right? After all, no matter how bad it was, it would still be her maternal family in the future!”

Wang Lan also frowned and asked in confusion, “Liu Shimei, do you know that after you withdraw a complained that you filed in the Supreme Court, you will be punished with 30 strokes of the cane?”
“I didn’t know before, but now I know,” Liu Shimei lowered his head and said. “Shimei is willing to accept the punishment of 30 strokes of the cane in order to ask the Lord to let Madam off. No matter what, she is still the wife of the Grand Chancellor and the pride of the Liu family. I’m still a member of the Liu family. It’s my fault. I should admit that I’ve disgraced the Liu family. Let me be punished!”
When these words were said, the voices that were still discussing immediately disappeared!
No one spoke again. They all looked at Liu Shimei in shock!
Huangfu Lingyao was the one who moved even more violently. He stood up from his chair, and his gaze was like lightning as he shot a glance at Liu Shimei. His eyes that were as bright as the sun, moon, and stars were filled with shock and disbelief…
Also, anger!
He did not care about what Liu Shimei said. He rushed over to Liu Shimei and said, “No! Wife, you didn’t do anything wrong! They were the ones who treated you badly. Just let this old woman go to jail. Why do you have to accept punishment? If you do this, you’ll get beaten up. I won’t allow it!”
Liu Shimei raised her head and looked at the silly dog squatting in front of her. His expression was as if he wanted to carry her away immediately. It looked like he was completely concerned and distressed for her.
However, she seemed to have seen the shock and anger in his eyes.
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment. Soon, it disappeared. Was that an illusion?
She comforted him, “Lingyao, don’t mess around. I was wrong in this matter. It’s just 30 strokes of the stick. I’ll be fine. Father gave me 20 ferule last time, I’ll be alive and kicking after a few days, right?”
The mention of twenty ferule made the veins on Liu Fuyun’s forehead throb!
Huangfu Lingyao shook his head at her, but he looked helpless. “If you insist on getting beaten up, why don’t I take your place? Let them hit me, I have thick skin, I’m used to being beaten since I was young!”
This Silly Second Prince actually had such deep feelings for Eldest Miss Liu.. This was another shocking point!
