He had been walking alongside Huangfu Lingyao, with Liu Shimei sandwiched in between. Shu Jun followed behind. Considering this, he purposely slowed his pace, creating some distance between himself and the two ahead. In a hushed tone, he said, “Sister, be careful. When you meet Miao Fengyu shortly, try not to engage with him. Don’t talk to him.”
Huangfu Lingyao gave him a discreet glance.
If Liang Yi hadn’t reminded Liu Shimei, Huangfu Lingyao was certain that she’d find her own way to warn her.
Of course, he could not state it explicitly; he had to use his own methods.
With Liang Yi’s warning, he felt somewhat relieved.
Regarding matters of safety, convincing Liu Shimei was not too difficult. She nodded and replied, “1 understand.”
Why?
Soon enough, they encountered Miao Fengyu, the Third Young Master of the Duke An’s Miao family, renowned in the capital as the ‘Elegant Prince’.
The Miao family, as a house known for benevolence and thriftiness, had a reputation for their moral integrity. Apart from his talents, Miao Fengyu was also known for his exceptional looks.
He was the cousin from the uncle’s side of Miao Linglong’s family, which was barely connected by a distant relationship. They could barely be considered cousins.
As a result, he playfully called out to them, “Linglong, Miaozhen, where have you been just now?”
Just as he finished speaking, he noticed the four people trailing behind.
Despite being surrounded by three distinctly attractive young men who all bore a striking resemblance to one another, Eldest Young Miss Liu was still Eldest Young Miss Liu!
Her beauty was otherworldly, like a rare, elegant flower blooming on a high peak. She did not exude arrogance, yet carried herself with an air of dominance.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, who could resist casting their gaze upon her?
“It turns out to be Eldest Miss Liu, my apologies for any offense!” Miao Fengyu greeted Liu Shimei with a faint smile, bowing to her with a folded fan in hand.
He did not bother greeting the others.
Liu Shimei returned the gesture and greeted him, “Third Young Master Miao!”
Just as she stood upright, her family’s dog once again slipped its paw into her hand.
Liang Yi held a short knife in his right hand, tapping it in his left hand from time to time. He smiled and said, “Brother Fengyu, you’re as charming as ever. You have such beauties like ATiss Miao and Miss Zhang by your side, yet you still have no shortage of lovely ladies accompanying you.”
His words carried a hint of mockery, but to Miao Fengyu’s surprise, he was momentarily stunned and chuckled, “Brother Liang, you jest.”
He then brought the woman behind him forward and said, “Cui Wei, come and greet these young gentlemen and ladies.”
The woman named Cui Wei stepped forward, first giving a glance to Liu Shimei before preparing to bow.
Liu Shimei instinctively frowned.
Unexpectedly, the Second Prince suddenly flared up, waving his hand dismissively with a look of disgust and said, “Go away, you’ve got some strange scent on you. Wife doesn’t like this kind of smell. Stay away from Wife!”
Cui Wei hesitated for a moment, her face showing a hint of grievance, but she did not say anything and silently retreated to Miao Fengyu’s side.
Liu Shimei fell silent.
She indeed did not like it because this woman had an overwhelming scent of cosmetics!
Heavy makeup, strong perfume, it was quite overwhelming for Liu Shimei, who was used to the scent of herbs.
At a glance, it was evident she did not come from a reputable family!
Liang Yi had a sly smile at the corner of his lips as he looked towards Zhang Miaozhen and said, “In Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley, it’s not good to be without a man by your side. Miss Zhang, if you don’t mind, I am willing to accompany you.”
It could be said that he was extending goodwill.
Zhang Miaozhen had been invited by Miao Linglong and had brought only a maid. Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley was too chaotic, and Miao Fengyu was not exactly reliable. If there was a martial artist like Liang Yi to protect her, that would be good.
The fact that he proactively offered such protection was also because Zhang Miaozhen had once helped his younger sister.
Before Zhang Miaozhen could respond, Liu Shimei chimed in, “That’s right, Miaozhen. Ninth Brother has martial skills. With him by your side, you’ll be much safer.”
Zhang Miaozhen furrowed her brow and said, “But you…”
She glanced at Huangfu Lingyao and felt embarra.s.sed to say, “Your fiance is not skilled in martial arts either, right?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Liu Shimei did not mention it, but she had her guard in the shadows with her. She turned to Liang Yi, “Ninth Brother, please make sure to protect Miaozhen.”
With that said, both Miao Fengyu and Miao Linglong’s expressions did not look too good..
