Chapter 623: King Dun Yu Has Always Been Like This
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Miss Miao truly understands the bigger picture; she deserves to be considered for the position of the Crown Prince’s Consort!” Liu Shimei expressed her astonishment at Miao Linglong’s patience.
On the surface, she showed no reaction, but inwardly, she reminded herself: in the future, when dealing with Miao Linglong again, she must be careful.
The more someone can endure, the deeper their scheming runs.
Moreover, after enduring for a long time, negative emotions usually explode when they reach a certain limit.
By then, a psychologically twisted person – to put it plainly, someone with a malicious nature – could do anything, and no one could guarantee what that person might do!
It’s truly difficult to imagine how Madam Miao, as a mother, raised such a daughter.
That’s what she thought. Huangfu Lingyao had known Miao Linglong for a longer time than she had and naturally understood that Miao Linglong was a cunning person. That’s why he had always been against Liu Shimei getting close to Miao Linglong.
Seeing the situation now, he grinned and said, “Miao Longzi, Wife is praising you! You’re so capable; you’ll definitely be able to defeat that trash Liu and smoothly become the Crown Prince’s Consort!”
He really wanted to say: Hurry up and find a way to win over the Crown Prince. Whether you become the Crown Prince’s Consort or not has nothing to do with me!
He was just flattering Miao Linglong, and Madam Miao looked slightly better now. She also seemed to tolerate him a bit more and said, “Enough, enough. I’ll go back and clarify this matter with the Duke. After all, we need Eldest Miss Liu to treat the illness!”
Her expression still wasn’t pleasant, and her words were still filled with sarcasm.
Liu Shimei was used to people with such a strong sense of superiority and felt unfazed by it.
But her silly puppy narrowed his eyes and immediately became unhappy. “What’s wrong with you Were you born without brushing your teeth, speaking with such foul breath? Can’t you say something nice for once?”
Madam Miao couldn’t tolerate being spoken to this way. She was about to lose her temper when Miao Linglong held her back and said, “Mother, King Dun Yu has always been like this. It’s almost time; let’s go back and talk to Father about this matter first.”
The crucial point was not that ‘King Dun Yu has always been like this’, but rather, if they said something offensive and hurt King Dun Yu’s feelings, Liu Shimei might change her mind about treating them!
Madam Miao thought it over and decided that the treatment was more important. She stood up abruptly and said, “Since you put it that way, let’s go back first!”
After speaking, she grabbed Miao Linglong and turned to leave. Miao Linglong wanted to show proper etiquette but was pulled out of the flower hall.
Mo’er glanced over and sneered deliberately, “How can there be such a rude lady! She’s even the Duke’s wife, what kind of person is she!”
Turning to Liu Shimei, she added, “Eldest Young Miss, the seats that Madam Miao sat on, should we disinfect them?”
The concept of disinfection was naturally introduced by Liu Shimei.
Liu Shimei finally had some free time recently and had been researching medical alcohol and disinfectants. She had also provided education to the people in the Fusheng Pavilion.
She spoke loudly, and Madam Miao and Miao Linglong, who were still close by, naturally heard her. Madam Miao was furious, and Miao Linglong tried to calm her down, whispering, “Mother, endure it for now, and things will settle down!”
Mo’er walked out and took a look outside. Seeing the two of them walking away, she turned back and said, not to deliberately provoke, but out of genuine concern, “Eldest Young Miss, should we disinfect the teacups and chairs that Madam Miao used?”
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and replied, “Boil the teacups, rinse the chairs with boiling water, and let them dry under the sun for a day.”
Huangfu Lingyao sneered, “In my opinion, why not just burn the chairs!”
