Chapter 374:1 Feel Like a Sc.u.mbag Who Abandoned Her Husband and Child
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the eyes of those unfamiliar with the trade, ink and paper might all look the same. However, the ability to glance at them and instantly recognize their origin – the source of the ink, the type of paper – involved a certain level of expertise. In her memory, Liusishemei still retained the former owner’s knowledge of these matters, which made her question whether Huangfu Lingyao remembered a lot of things!
But to say she was skeptical, that choice of words did not quite fit.
More accurately, she wanted to understand his symptoms. How much did he remember? Was his condition due to a jumble of memories, or were there gaps in his recollection? She and Qi Yang could not discern anything from his pulse, so she hadn’t dared to prescribe any medication up to this point.
With more insight, she could begin his treatment.
Huangfu Lingyao hesitated, released her hand, and a look of bewilderment washed over his face. “I remember ink and paper! I might not recognize others, but Imperial Father…”
Here, he looked somewhat embarra.s.sed and chuckled. “1 ruined so many of Imperial Father’s things. He got so mad, he used to throw his inkstone at me while scolding me. How could I not recognize them?”
Liusishemei believed his explanation.
With his habit of constantly stealing things from the Empress and causing trouble in the Emperor’s quarters, nothing about him causing a stir was surprising!
She fell silent, wondering: The Miao family, known for their frugality, using ink and paper just like the Emperor… Was it a royal gift or… did it serve some other purpose?
Could a Duke be harboring ambitions to overthrow the Emperor himself?
Ideally, this won’t affect her!
As she pondered, Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her, his heart slightly tensing. He was afraid she might suspect something. She was so clever; if she remembered anything, it would be disastrous!
“Oh, 1 just remembered!” He quickly put on a look of realization. “Wife, 1 remembered something else!”
Lius.h.i.+mai snapped back to attention and asked, “What is it?”
Huangfu Lingyao, seeking praise, said, “Wife, 1 told you something useful. You have to reward me!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei hesitated, and now whenever she heard the word ‘reward,’ she had an automatic reaction; she felt uncomfortable all over! Whenever he said the word ‘reward,’ it always made people’s minds wander in strange directions!
But he continued regardless, “When I went to their house last time, 1 accidentally broke a vase. I was afraid of getting scolded, so I hid in their backyard. I saw two people who looked very strange!”
“What kind of people?” Lius.h.i.+mai asked.
Huangfu Lingyao pointed to his eyes and said, “Their eyes were blue!” Then he pointed to his hair, “And their hair was golden!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei blinked. “Blond hair and blue eyes?”
She thought for a moment and added, “That’s not surprising. Our Great Shu Dynasty is in an era of peace and prosperity, and cross-border trade is flouris.h.i.+ng. Miss Miao’s mother is from the Western Regions, so it’s normal for them to have visitors from the Western Regions.”
“Oh, 1 see,” Huangfu Lingyao said, slightly disappointed, lowering his eyelids.
Then, his face drooped. “So, Wife, since I didn’t answer well, does that mean there’s no reward?”
Lius.h.i.+mai sighed. This disappointed expression made her feel like she was a woman having an affair and abandoning her husband and child!
Instantly, he led her into his trap. “Lingyao, there is a reward!”
Getting her clear response, Huangfu Lingyao’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up. He did not ask what the reward was; his face had already moved closer.
Such an obvious request for a kiss, if Liu s.h.i.+mei did not understand now, she’d have to question her own intelligence!
She sighed in resignation and gently kissed his cheek.
Honestly, a face as delicate as this was something any ‘face-loving’ person would be willing to kiss.
But…
This guy was notsatisfied!
“Wife, you’re not sincere!”
