Chapter 479: Sister, Don’t You Have a Conscience!?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liang Yi had just taken a dumpling, uncertain whether to swallow or spit it out, when his face turned completely black!
He gave a cold glance at Huangfu Lingyao, then spat out the dumpling. He turned his accusing eyes toward Liu Shimei and said, “Are these leftovers that he didn’t want? You packed them and brought them to me?”
Sister, don’t you have a conscience!?
Liu Shimei was very frustrated. She shot a reproachful look at Huangfu Lingyao and explained, “No, I took him to have breakfast. I asked the staff to pack freshly made, steaming dumplings, not leftovers!”
Though Liang Yi was half-convinced by her explanation, he chose to believe her.
Little did he know, the Silly Second Prince chimed in, “Yes, yes, 17 of them were leftovers I couldn’t finish, and 10 were freshly made from the back!”
Liang Yi,
He immediately dropped his chopsticks!
His sister only cared for her fiance and didn’t love him; life was unbearable!
What a miserable fate he had!
Liu Shimei covered her face in frustration.
She looked at Huangfu Lingyao with resentment and said, “Lingyao, can you please stop talking nonsense?! Yes, I took you to eat crystal dumplings because you wanted to, but I brought some for Ninth Brother out of kindness, not because you couldn’t finish them!”
The silly son was just too mischievous. Being a parent to this generation was really not easy!
Liu Shimei felt unfairly accused.
“Oh,” the silly puppy changed his tune when he saw his wife caught in a dilemma. “Let me check this food box… Hmm, it seems like the 17 leftovers I had were packed in the portion for Master! This portion for Ninth Brother is a separate one we asked for later.”
This explanation was perfect!
But Young Master Liang still felt a million points of damage to his pride.
“Sister, if you keep taking him for breakfast and not me, I’ll be mad at you the whole day. Don’t talk to me!”
Of course, after he finished being mad, he would still talk to his sister.
“Fine,” Liu Shimei sighed, unable to deal with these two childish siblings.
But surprisingly, only the closest and most well-connected people could banter so freely, shamelessly, and playfully, right?
Liang Yi’s temper flared and subsided quickly, primarily because he was a Siscon Demon. How could he bear to ignore his beloved sister?
He barely had time to indulge her; ignoring her would mean pa.s.sing her onto his other brothers’ affections, wouldn’t it?
If it weren’t for having to attend school, Liang Yi would be thinking of visiting Liu Shimei all day long!
He asked while eating, “So, you specifically called me here; is there something on your mind?”
Liu Shimei replied, “Yes, I had Lord Grand Chancellor investigate my brother’s affairs. He gave me all the files he could find about my brother. I looked through them last night and found something suspicious. But I lack connections, so I need you, Ninth Brother, to help me investigate.”
“What did you find?” Liang Yi lost interest in the dumplings on his chopsticks and quickly put them down.
Huangfu Lingyao also glanced at her, thinking, “With my wife’s astounding determination, as long as she’s determined to find something, she will eventually discover it!”
He remembered that he had also asked Li Xin to investigate, but because he had been sticking to her side every day, it had affected the progress.
Ah, that’s why people say beauty distracts. It turned out to be true!
If he were the Emperor and had such a wife, he probably wouldn’t want to attend court sessions or deal with state affairs either. He would prefer to stick with her like a little tail every day!
Liu Shimei, of course, was unaware of what the silly puppy was thinking. She never hesitated to discuss these matters in front of him, considering him as a naive son. She shared her discoveries with Liang Yi.
Liang Yi understood now, “So, you want me to investigate the whereabouts of those servants? Especially Wen Gui and Wu Qiang?”
