Chapter 608: The Silly Dog Likes to Add Drama
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This look of grievance!
Liu Shimei sighed and took a step forward, gently hugging him. However, it was in public, so she quickly let go, asking, “Did you see Mo’er?”
Even though the embrace was short-lived, the fact that his wife initiated it made the foolish lad happy. He replied, “No! I saw Lang Hua; he went to find Wood Ear!”
“Ah,” Liu Shimei nodded, saying, “Let’s go inside and wait.”
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao felt ecstatic, thinking, ‘It seems my wife still values me more. She’s waiting for me at the door! Even though Mo’er grew up with her since childhood, he can’t compare to my place in her heart!’
It must be said, the foolish lad loved to add drama to his own life!
Liu Shimei led Huangfu Lingyao to the waiting area in the lobby, and then had Lianqiao bring him some tea. She then asked, “Lingyao, did you see it? Was Du Gong rescued?”
“Yes!” Huangfu Lingyao took a sip of water, placed the teacup down, and said indignantly, “Who could have done this! That scoundrel Du Gong, how could someone still come to rescue him!”
Liu Shimei sighed softly and said, “Earlier, Lord Mu told me that there’s an organization behind Du Gong. I was thinking of telling Ninth Brother to investigate it. But then, Lord Mu said he didn’t know either…”
She paused and continued, “Medicine Lord is from the Medicine Clan. The realm of medicine is dominated by the Medicine Clan; they don’t know who Du Gong’s master is or who the true owner of Zheng Medical Hall is. If we investigate…”
She didn’t continue with her words.
Changge stood behind her, watching her talk to a fool, wondering if the fool could understand any of it. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, “Eldest Young Miss, it’s better to mind your own business.”
Huangfu Lingyao lowered his long eyelashes to cover the thoughts in his eyes, thinking, ‘So that’s how it is! Mu Jiangli had already told my wife about this matter, but he didn’t tell me!’
Of course, he wouldn’t blame Liu Shimei for not telling him about the matter. She didn’t believe he could help her in any way, and she wouldn’t bother telling him unless he happened to be present.
Moreover, it was even easier to forgive his own wife!
So, it was all Mu Jiangli’s fault. Why didn’t he inform him of the information he already knew?
“You can’t say that.” Liu Shimei didn’t know her husband’s thoughts had drifted away and responded to Changge, “If Du Gong is just a p.a.w.n planted by some organization in the Imperial Capital, and I happened to disable this p.a.w.n, wouldn’t they hold me accountable? It’s good to investigate thoroughly and be prepared!”
Hearing her words, Changge lowered her head in silence, “Eldest Miss is right,
I didn’t think it through.”
Huangfu Lingyao also agreed with Liu Shimei’s statement, determined to have Li Xin send someone to investigate thoroughly after returning!
Especially since this matter was closely related to his wife’s safety.
Although he controlled organizations like the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions, there were still many things he couldn’t find out!
It seemed he needed to reorganize the people under Li Xin!
Mo’er was not foolish. She returned with Zhong Lang not long after.
She explained why she was late, “When I saw the prison carriage coming, I quickly hid in the nearby teahouse, then sneaked out through their back door, taking a longer route.”
Liu Shimei nodded lightly and asked, “Mo’er, did you find anything?”
