Upon hearing her words, he knew she couldn’t stay with him anymore!
Seeing him like this, Liu Shimei’s heart softened. She gently touched his face and said, “I need to talk to Zhong Lang first. After that, I’ll come back to accompany you until bedtime.”
“Oh,” Huangfu Lingyao sounded a bit disappointed. “So you won’t stay with me after bedtime, leaving me alone?”
“I’ll ask Lu Ying to stay and take care of you at night. He knows how to care for the injured. You don’t have to worry,” Liu Shimei explained. It’s not that she didn’t want to stay overnight, but, “This is Grandpa’s house. Even though your performance today has greatly impressed Grandpa and the others, and they will surely like you in the future, do you think they won’t be upset if I stay overnight in your room?”
He might have to endure having his leg broken once he’s healed!
Huangfu Lingyao pouted instantly.
That’s right!
Today, he played the hero to save the beauty, and the Liang family’s att.i.tude toward him changed from mere politeness to genuine concern.
Why did he consider himself more of a bear than a hero?
Wasn’t it because he was too spineless?
Although he possessed decent martial arts skills, he couldn’t use them when it really mattered!
Liu Shimei gently patted his head and said, “Don’t be upset. I rescheduled all my appointments for tomorrow. I’ll be with you the whole day. Okay?”
Her tone was as gentle as when one soothes a child, even more indulgent than a mother!
Although Huangfu Lingyao felt reluctant to be treated as her foolish son, on the other hand, he couldn’t help but appreciate her special and unparalleled affection for him.
Yummy!
“That’s fine, you must give the waves a good beating!” Of course, the silly puppy had to give in to his wife.
“You lie down obediently, alright?” Liu Shimei smiled, didn’t answer, touched his forehead, then turned and went out.
Knowing that the right words must be said, Zhong Lang stood outside the door, quietly waiting for Liu Shimei to come find him.
Liu Shimei came out and closed the door, first instructing Lian Qiao and Lu Ying, “Both of you be careful. His Highness might have a fever from his injury at night. Check on him every interval of an incense stick’s time. If anything unusual happens, come and tell me immediately.”
“Yes, Eldest Young Miss.” Both of them replied in unison.
Liu Shimei turned to Zhong Lang and said, “Mr. Zhong, come with me.”
Zhong Lang nodded expressionlessly and followed behind Liu Shimei, walking all the way to the small hall of Qionghua Courtyard.
“Have a seat.” Liu Shimei asked Mo’er to serve tea.
When Mo’er realized that her Young Miss was attacked and the personal bodyguards weren’t around, she looked very displeased.
But she had to give face to Liu Shimei. She poured a cup of tea and slammed it heavily on the spot next to Liu Shimei, venting her dissatisfaction!
Zhong Lang didn’t sit down and said, “Zhong has failed in his duties and is willing to accept any punishment from Eldest Miss.”
He was also filled with guilt. When you make a mistake, how could you possibly sit on an equal footing with your master?
Liu Shimei didn’t treat him like a servant, but within the term of their contract, he knew where he stood.
“Let’s not talk about punishment for now. Shouldn’t you first tell me where you went when the incident happened?” Liu Shimei didn’t force him to sit down either. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.
Zhong Lang didn’t answer.
Liu Shimei continued, “Mr. Zhong, I originally thought I wouldn’t pry into your private affairs. But the premise is that your private matters shouldn’t involve me. Now, your private matters are affecting my life and death. So, I still need to know some things, especially…. what enmity is between you and Medicine Lord?”
