Therefore, even if the Emperor allowed them to marry early, it was impossible to carry out. Besides, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had already chosen a date for them, set after the Double Ninth Festival in September. Who could change that?
“Well, there’s nothing we can do,” Huangfu Lingyao said, looking disappointed.
However, being of a ‘childish nature’, his attention quickly shifted. He pinched a piece of crispy rice and fed it to her, saying, “Wife, I have a question for you!”
Liu Shimei asked in confusion, “What question?”
Huangfu Lingyao stared into her eyes, unwavering, and said, “I heard you talking to Ninth Brother this morning. You were investigating your brother’s case, right?”
He rarely looked so serious, which was a bit amusing.
After eating the crispy rice he fed her, Liu Shimei fed him one in return and replied, “Yes, you heard right. I suspect my brother was killed by someone, so I want to find out the truth.”
This was not something she needed to hide from him.
Besides, even if he was naive, she was accustomed to sharing everything with him. Regardless of whether he understood or not, they were interdependent.
Moreover, although he had a childlike mind, he wasn’t a blabbermouth who would spread things around.
In short, he was a loyal, honest, and reliable good doggy!
Of course, Liu Shimei was unaware of how cunning her ‘silly puppy’ truly was. She was completely deceived by his adorable appearance. In her eyes, Huangfu Lingyao was just a well-behaved child!
Her own puppy came with a built-in filter. Even the Devil himself could be an angel!
“Wife…” Huangfu Lingyao carefully observed her expression while choosing his words, saying, “Let me tell you something interesting. I wonder if Ninth Brother has heard about it!”
Seeing him speak like this, thinking about how he always liked to argue with Liang Yi, Liu Shimei smiled and asked, “Oh, then you go ahead and tell me. Later, I’ll ask Jiuge if he has heard of it. If he hasn’t, you win!”
This tone, as if placating a child, left Huangfu Lingyao feeling utterly hopeless inside.
But he insisted on finishing the act even while crying, “I usually like to roam around everywhere, you know? I’ve been to every corner of the Imperial Capital! I heard there’s a place in the Yong’an Inn where you can buy information. If you don’t understand something, you can go there and ask. If you pay, they’ll give you the answers! Your wife said you can go and see if they have the information you want!”
He wore a pitiful expression and continued, “I wanted to go in and have fun, but they despised me and kicked me out!”
In an instant, his expression turned defiant, “Hmph! I have money; they just don’t know!”
Liu Shimei,
Even though her own dog was cute but a bit foolish, the information in his words was significant!
She frowned and said, “Ninth Brother also spends a lot of time outside. Doesn’t he know about this place?”
Huangfu Lingyao’s face instantly revealed a look of compet.i.tiveness, “He hasn’t even been to the Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley. I don’t believe he knows. I don’t believe you. Go ask him!”
Adhering to the principle of not crushing a child’s enthusiasm, Liu Shimei naturally couldn’t say that she didn’t believe the dog. She asked, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just haven’t heard of such a place, in the Yong’an Inn, right?”
She thought Liang Yi should know, right?
“Yes, in the Yong’an Inn!” Huangfu Lingyao said confidently, “But I don’t know if it’s still there!”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips and said, “Let’s forget about it today. My schedule is already full. I have time tomorrow afternoon. We can ask Ninth Brother to go together then.”
Huangfu Lingyao,”…”
What? Do we have to invite that guy too?!
