Chapter 38: Your Family’s Young Miss Is Already Dead
Liu Shimei was extremely glad that she had come under a false name.
She did not have a good reputation, and if her status as the future Princess Consort of King Dun Yu got out, she would definitely get into trouble.
"Doctor Du is willing to take you in, but Zhi Liu, when will you start working?" the steward asked.
Liu Shimei thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow will do. However, I"ve just moved and have to settle down in the near future. I may be busy and may not be able to come to work on time. So, before I can work every day, I don"t need my salary. We"ll talk again after I"ve stabilized my situation."
The steward was very surprised that there was someone who did not want their salary.
Liu Shimei smiled and said, "If you are willing to make such an arrangement for me, I will naturally take it. I can also accept payment that is calculated according to the number of working days and paid monthly. What do you think, steward?"
The steward thought that this was reasonable. Since Du Gong had decided to accept her, it was decided.
After leaving Zheng Medical Hall, Mo"er, who had been silent the entire time, finally said, "Young Miss, when did you learn to treat illnesses?"
Of course, Liu Shimei knew that it was impossible for her to hide her medical skills from the girl who had grown up with her. She made up a story, "I probably learned it in my dream."
Mo"er clearly did not believe her.
Liu Shimei did not bother explaining. She pinched her nose and said, "Alright, you don"t need to know how I learned it! Right now, you only need to believe that even if your family"s Eldest Young Miss leaves the Grand Chancellor"s Residence in the future, she will still be able to support you!"
"Young Miss..." Mo"er squinted at her and said, "Don"t tell me you"ve been... replaced by someone else?"
Her personality had changed greatly, and she now had medical skills that she had never seen before!
Liu Shimei chuckled and said in a half-genuine and half-fake manner, "It could be! Perhaps your family"s Eldest Young Miss is already dead and the person living in her body is someone else, hmm?"
Mo"er was speechless.
She had a ridiculous expression on her face. Naturally, she did not believe it.
Liu Shimei smiled but did not say anything.
After changing back to her original appearance, Liu Shimei brought Mo"er to the restaurant.
As soon as she walked over, she saw the silly dog on the second floor"s railing, smiling brightly, and waving at her. "Wife, I"m here!"
A group of people looked at her.
Liu Shimei"s lips twitched!
Can"t you keep a low profile?
It was already eye-catching enough for the two laughing stocks from the Imperial Capital to hang out together, but this silly Husky was still making a fuss as if he was afraid that others would not know!
However, Huangfu Lingyao did not know this. His figure disappeared over the railing, and Liu Shimei had just stepped into the first-floor threshold when this guy rushed over as fast as he could. "Wife, didn"t you say noon? Why are you here so early?"
"Then why are you here so early?" Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and asked.
She did it in pa.s.sing, but what about him?
Huangfu Lingyao smiled smugly, as if he had accomplished something great. "I went to the palace this morning and asked Imperial Father when we can get married. After leaving the palace, I came here directly to wait for you!"
The silly dog looked like it was asking for praise, which made Liu Shimei smile.
"So, what"s the result of your question?"
The two of them went up to the second floor.
After yesterday"s domineering mixed doubles in this restaurant, the people who saw them today were still trembling in their hearts.
Even the waiter who had come to order for them was not happy to see the two of them!
