Chapter 357:1 Can’t Eat Tofu Today
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Thank you, everyone,” Liu Shimei nodded respectfully to the flower servants.
These flower servants quickly departed, disappearing in a swift motion.
Liu Shimei scanned the surroundings and asked, “Are there no people here?”
Liang Yi replied, “Only on the 1st and 15th of the month do many people visit here…”
Unexpectedly, just after he said this and entered the villa, he was proven wrong.
Who said there were no people?
The entrance to the mountain villa had an array that made it appear empty from the outside. However, upon entering, they not only found a considerable number of people coming and going but also recognized familiar faces! “Shimei?” Zhang Miaozhen walked over with pleasant surprise. “You’re here too?”
Not only Zhang Miaozhen but also Miao Linglong.
Huangfu Lingyao thought to himself, ‘1 didn’t check the date when I left today. 1 had originally planned for just the two of us to come. Maybe we could have some intimate moments. But now, not only did we add a disciple and Ninth Brother… that would have been tolerable. Now, we’ve added a whole group of people!’
‘Damn!’
His mood was exceptionally bad!
Unfortunately, it seemed like he would not be able to enjoy the soft, tender, and fragrant tofu of his wife today!
The two young ladies noticed that Huangfu Lingyao and Liang Yi were also present. They greeted, “King Dun Yu, Master Liang…”
Then, their attention shifted to Shu Jun. Zhang Miaozhen did not recognize him, but Miao Linglong did. “Is this… Young Master Jun from Physician Shu’s family?”
Shu Jun bowed politely and replied, “Shu Jun has accompanied our master for a leisurely visit. The two young ladies are very courteous.”
This guy looked like he was past his prime. If it weren’t for his youthful features, one might have thought he was in his seventies or eighties!
Liu Shimei could not help but find her disciple particularly amusing. His solemn demeanor, combined with his reluctance to speak, would likely suffocate his future wife!
After the pleasantries, Zhang Miaozhen had originally wanted to hold Liu Shimei’s hand. However, she noticed that Liu Shimei’s hand was held by her fiance, so she abandoned the idea. She smiled gently and said, “Linglong invited me to come and enjoy the flowers. I was thinking of inviting you too, but I heard that you were busy at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Since the invitation didn’t make it inside, we decided to come on our own.”
“Oh?” Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Fate has brought us together despite the miles. Haven’t we met now?”
They had arrived before her, which meant when they were delivering the invitation, she must have still been at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. But the people from the Grand Chancellor’s Residence had actually turned away her guests?
Fine, she’d remember this!
Zhang Miaozhen smiled and said, “Indeed.”
Miao Linglong looked over at Liu Shimei and said, “We just arrived a little while ago. We don’t know the situation inside yet. Shall we go in first?”
With that, she took Zhang Miaozhen’s hand and walked ahead.
Liang Yi played with the short knife in his hand, squinting as he stared at the backs of the two girls ahead. He politely asked, “Didn’t the two ladies bring any attendants? Just the maids?”
Huangfu Lingyao discreetly glanced at him.
In fact, he had been thinking the same thing. Thousand Butterfly Valley was a gathering place for people of the martial world. Although it was at the foot of the Imperial Capital, who would dare come here with just two young ladies, without any men? People in the martial world weren’t afraid of the government. Especially since these two girls were both good-looking and potential candidates for the position of the Crown Princess!
They were both noble women; they could not be ignorant of these matters.
Two potential Crown Princesses… There might be more to this than met the eye!
Zhang Miaozhen turned her head and answered Liang Yi’s question, “Oh, Linglong’s elder brother Fengyu brought us here.”
Liang Yi nodded and said, “I see.”
He did not say anything more, but he looked at Liu Shimei, his brow furrowing slightly..
