Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The parents’ relationship, does it not matter to their children? Then how do children come into the picture?
Is it merely for the sake of continuing the lineage?
Liu Shimei had many thoughts in her mind, but she knew Liu Fuyun wouldn’t reveal more. The Grand Chancellor hadn’t climbed to his position for nothing. While Liu Fuyun couldn’t keep everything sealed, he was certainly a capable man.
She had lost interest in pestering him further and said, “Alright, I’ll go back and look through these documents. If I find any issues, I’ll discuss them with Father.”
Carrying the documents, Liu Shimei turned to leave.
She stood outside the door for a moment and suddenly spoke, “Ten years of life and death, vast and boundless, hard to forget without pondering. A lonely grave a thousand miles away, nowhere to express the desolation! Truly, nowhere to express the desolation!”
It was Su Shi’s elegy. Although, in ancient times, it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, this great literary figure was no exception. But no matter how you looked at it, he still had some sentiment left for his first wife.
So, what did Liu Fuyun really think?
From his reaction, it was clear that he did not have much longing for Liang Ruyi. Even when remembering their deceased son, he wouldn’t think about the late wife who bore him this son.
The beautiful story of the marriage of literature and martial arts had ended with just one ‘fruit of love’, and that too had withered prematurely. The only daughter had also met an untimely end.
Everything had turned into nothingness.
Thinking about Liang Ruyi’s short and misguided love, Liu Shimei suddenly felt an unbearable ache in her heart.
A particularly, particularly painful kind of ache!
She wanted to investigate the cause of Liu Quan’s death and also find out why Liang Ruyi died. But she was a bit afraid. What if the results were unbearable? What to do?
Digging up old scars, how painful was it?
Thinking from her perspective as an outsider, it seemed manageable. But if Liang Wei found out that his beloved daughter was deceived and killed, or if Liang Yong and the others knew that their only sister was tricked into marriage, how unbearable would their feelings be?
Honestly, from Liu Fuyun’s favor towards Madame Zhang over the years, it could be inferred that he preferred gentle and kind-hearted women like her. Then, what kind of person was Liang Ruyi?
The original owner lost her mother at the age of six. Liu Shimei couldn’t find an impression of Liang Ruyi from her own memories. She could only judge from the Liang family’s reputation: Liang Ruyi was probably a woman with a strong and independent personality. A passionate woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t have disregarded the family’s opposition and insisted on marrying a man her father didn’t like!
Carrying the documents, Liu Shimei walked through the corridor and the garden. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, her eyelids drooping, her face especially gloomy.
“Eldest Young Miss?” Mo’er could tell that Liu Shimei was not in a good mood. She hadn’t dared to speak along the way, but seeing her suddenly stop, she asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips, then turned around, stuffing the documents she was holding into Mo’er’s arms, saying, “You take these things back to my room first. I need to go out for a while!”
Mo’er was surprised. “Eldest Miss, it’s already dark. Where do you want to go? When will you be back!?”
But Liu Shimei had already lifted her skirt and hurriedly ran towards the main gate!
“Hey!”
Mo’er wanted to follow, but thinking that Zhong Lang was secretly protecting her, their young mistress didn’t need someone to be by her side twenty-four-seven. So, she could only hold the documents and walk towards the Leihua Courtyard, muttering to herself, “Well, well, Eldest Young Miss knows her limits, right? Lately, it’s always Nanny Li feeding Little Mute. I should go back and check on the Little Mute’s situation first!”
Liu Shimei dashed out of the mansion without even considering taking a carriage. She could not wait for the carriage to be prepared. It was faster to go on foot!
She wanted to find her foolish puppy!
She wanted to see him as quickly as possible!
