Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Facing Liang Yi’s shocked gaze, Liu Shimei was utterly perplexed.
She sighed and ran her hand through her hair, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear. “Ninth Brother, there’s a reason behind this. Please don’t go around spreading nonsense rumors.”
At the mention of ‘there’s a reason’, Liang Yi thought back to the initial circumstances. Despite being utterly shattered by the shocking revelation, he easily forgave his sister’s actions.
After all, she had been drugged and manipulated by Liu Yan’er. How could one expect rationality in such a situation?
When he thought about Liu Yan’er’s sinister intentions, he realized that the scoundrel she had found for Liu Shimei was no better than the Silly Second Prince. Well, at least being good-looking was an advantage!
“Alright, let’s talk about the main issue, Ninth Brother!” Liu Shimei didn’t want to dwell on this dangerous topic any longer and swiftly changed the subject. “Ninth Brother, you rarely come to the Yong’an Inn. Do you know about the Information Pavilion here?”
“The Information Pavilion?” Liang Yi was taken aback. “Are you talking about the Eight Sides Pavilion?”
Liu Shimei was somewhat surprised, “Oh, you know about it?”
She instinctively glanced at Huangfu Lingyao.
Huangfu Lingyao wasn’t surprised that someone as playful as Liang Yi would know. Earlier, he had deliberately mentioned something that Liang Yi might not know just to lure him here.
“The Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions, as the name suggests, observes six paths and listens from eight directions,” Liang Yi explained to Liu Shimei. “Although it’s hidden within the Yong’an Inn, it’s a place specifically for trading information. Ordinary people might not be aware of it, but those of us from prestigious families are bound to know.”
He didn’t explain too clearly, but after thinking it over, Liu Shimei understood: in a place where information was trafficked, there would undoubtedly be many secrets. Wealthy families were particularly afraid of their weaknesses falling into the hands of others, so their sensitivity to the existence of the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions was normal.
Liang Yi also drew a conclusion and said, “So, sister, do you want to go to the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions to inquire about something?”
“Yes,” Liu Shimei nodded, saying, “It’s related to my brother. I came to inquire about the news. If there’s anything real, it will surely help our investigation progress faster.”
“You’re right,” Liang Yi said. “Sometimes, the information I can’t find through friends, I buy it here. Grandpa and my father only said I couldn’t come, but they didn’t say others couldn’t!”
Taking advantage of the situation with confidence!
On this note, Huangfu Lingyao interjected, “So, are you still coming today? Oh! You’re in big trouble. When you go back, prepare for your scolding! If Grandpa knows, you’re done for!”
Liang Yi was triumphant, “Didn’t my sister ask me to come? As long as I say I’m running errands for my sister, Grandpa and my father won’t say anything to me!”
“Indeed, Wife is your talisman!” Huangfu Lingyao’s face turned dark instantly.
Of course, his attempt at being angry only looked somewhat fierce and nothing more!
Liang Yi proudly swayed her body, playing with the short knife that never left her hand. Her handsome face was full of youthful spirit as she grinned, “My sister is willing. What can you do about it? You’re gonna bite me?”
The silly dog didn’t fall for it. He blurted out, “I won’t bite you. Your flesh is rotten!”
Liu Shimei,
Here they go again!
To prevent ‘two dogs fighting will surely hurt one another’, she helplessly interrupted them, “Stop arguing. We’re here for business today. Let’s go to the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions first!”
As the head of the family issued the command, Liang Yi immediately stood up, “Alright, let’s go!”
