Chapter 307: How Could I Have Known So Much
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Miaozhen was considered a gentle person and would not give people any uncomfortable feelings. She was a very meticulous person. It was impossible for her not to notice that Liu Shimei was a little bit affected by Miao Linglong’s arrival.
Rather than saying she was not welcome, it was more accurate to say that the surprise outweighed the delight.
She explained, “Shimei, don’t blame me for playing matchmaker. 1 heard that Madam Miao needed medical help, and 1 couldn’t refuse.”
“1 didn’t blame you,” Liu Shimei said warmly with a faint smile, inviting her to sit down. “I thought you and Miss Miao had a good relationship.”
Zhang Miaozhen pursed her lips and said, “Our relationship is not bad. As you know, Linglong is the younger sister of my aunt’s cousin. Due to this family connection and our similar age, we’ve become quite close in recent years. We attend gatherings together and even meet frequently in private.”
Liu Shimei finally recalled this fact.
It could almost be considered a distant relative, even though they didn’t share any blood relation.
“I heard that Madam Miao has been suffering from her illness for almost ten years now, and it must be quite challenging. If you find it troublesome, you don’t have to agree to help her,” Zhang Miaozhen was afraid that Liu Shimei might feel obliged to see Madam Miao because she brought her to the place, thus putting her in an awkward position.
Liu Shimei shook his head. “It’s alright. Let’s go take a look. If 1 can’t do anything, I’ll just say it. 1 won’t force it.”
She was not afraid of incurable diseases. On the contrary, she welcomed these diseases to come to her for consultation. This was a shortcut to quickly increase her popularity.
Therefore, after returning from the Spring Garden, she wanted to open the clinic as soon as possible.
Seeing that Liu Shimei truly did not blame her, Zhang Miaozhen felt relieved and asked, “I saw His Highness Dun Yu looking bored in the hall when I accompanied Linglong outside. Are you okay with him staying here?”
At the mention of her silly puppy, Liu Shimei sighed and said, “I don’t mind. If I’m the only one living in the Misty Pavilion, I’ll let him stay. But that’s not the case, so I’ll send him back later.”
Even though she was sighing, the smile on her face was not fake.
Seeing Liu Shimei’s expression, Zhang Miaozhen felt a bit envious. Then, she thought about herself, lowered her eyelids, and took a sip of tea. “His Highness Dun Yu treats you quite well.”
“Yeah,” Liu Shimei replied, her smile widening. “That’s why I’m good to him too!”
“How direct and straightforward!” Zhang Miaozhen sighed with emotion. “How come I never realized you were this kind of person? If I had known earlier, we would have become close friends in the inner chambers!”
“It’s not too late now, is it?” Liu Shimei smiled.
Too late?
That was the real Liu Shimei, the Flower on the High Peak in their eyes, the number one talented woman!
Her personality was completely opposite, so how could they have known this from the beginning?
“Given what happened today during the flower appreciation party, it seems the Crown Prince’s mood isn’t good. I think the gathering will end early tomorrow,” Zhang Miaozhen changed the subject. “You might as well return early. Besides, you mentioned that you weren’t feeling well either.”
Liu Shimei said with a nasal tone, “It’s fine to go back early. I’m not feeling well, and I don’t have much energy.”
Zhang Miaozhen was surprised. “With your talent, it’s such a pity that you won’t have a chance to display it.”
Liu Shimei smiled.
She couldn’t possibly say: If you force me to compose poetry, I’ll just recite some verses you’ve never heard before.
After all, how could she compose poetry?
How could she possibly know how to compose a poem?
After Zhang Miaozhen left, 1 luangfu Lingyao stayed for a while. Liu Shimei remembered the reputation of the person who lived with him, so she could only let him go back to the Western Marsh Garden.
The young puppy was reluctant to leave. He had no choice but to turn his head back three times with every step he took. He was like a son who had left his mother and was going to kindergarten for the first time.
However, he was eventually coaxed to go back.
In the evening, the Crown Prince suddenly arrived at the Misty Pavilion!
