Chapter 394:1 Will Skin These People
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Fuyun could not help but feel a surge of anger at her complete disregard for him.
He had told himself countless times to endure, to keep the peace. Even if Liu s.h.i.+mei was being arrogant, their father-daughter relations.h.i.+p was still intact. No matter how hostile they became within these walls, outside, they were still family.
In the future, his eldest daughter would be the Princess of Dun Yu, a clever and capable Emperor’s daughter-in-law who had managed to bring King Dun Yu under her control. Perhaps she could gain a foothold for the King Dun Yu mansion.
As for his second daughter, if she could handle Liu s.h.i.+mei well, helping each other as sisters-in-law, what would stop Liu Yan’er from securing her position as the Crown Princess and eventually becoming the Empress?
With these thoughts in mind, he suppressed his anger and said, “Today is your older brother’s death anniversary, and the kitchen has prepared an extra meal. Why don’t you join us for dinner? Afterward, you can take your turn to keep watch. It’s all the same.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The prince, who had just made her see red, suddenly turned mild. Was this some kind of trick?
Actions without motives were rare; they usually concealed ulterior motives.
She replied calmly, “An extra meal today? Isn’t it the Lady of the House who manages the kitchen? I wouldn’t dare to eat anything she prepares. What if I get poisoned, and then there’s another attempt on my life? Wouldn’t that be an injustice?”
She deliberately laced every word with sarcasm. The anger that Liufu Yun had just managed to suppress surged once again.
Liu Fuyun’s voice turned cold. “Can’t you speak properly? We’re family behind closed doors. Do you really want to sever these family ties completely? Have you ever thought about what it would be like when you marry into the royal family? Don’t you realize you won’t have your natal family’s support?”
Not mentioning this matter would have been fine, but hearing about it is nauseating! Liu s.h.i.+mei coldly pursed her lips and said, “When the Yu family was pressuring me, where were my maternal family members? Wasn’t it the Liang family—my maternal grandfather and uncle—supporting me? I remember very well, in front of the Emperor and in the face of the Grand Princess, my dear father, you didn’t dare to utter a word!”
No matter how much Liu Fuyun wanted to mend their relations.h.i.+p, there was absolutely no way to have a civil conversation with her at this moment!
“You… you’re simply vulgar and beyond redemption!”
He flung his sleeve in anger and left with heavy steps!
Watching her so-called father walk out of the ancestral hall, Liu s.h.i.+mei snorted and said, “Well, isn’t this the Grand Chancellor who excels in verbal battles? Even I can’t argue with you! Ridiculous!”
After saying that, she amused herself, muttering to herself, “It’s okay if you’re ridiculous, I have a remedy!”
After her moment of amus.e.m.e.nt, Liu s.h.i.+mei stood up, returned to the memorial tablets of Madam Ruyi and her elder brother, respectfully knelt on the cus.h.i.+on, and bowed her head. In a very low voice, she said, “Mother, Brother… even though you are already deceased, since I have inherited this body, I will also accept everything that belongs to you. Whether it’s my mother or my elder brother, rest a.s.sured that whoever I find responsible for your deaths will follow you to the afterlife…”
Her voice gradually turned cold, “I will flay the skin off these people and send them on their way to accompany you in the underworld!”
After finis.h.i.+ng her dinner, Liu s.h.i.+mei asked Mo’er to bring her writing materials. Since she had to keep vigil through the night, she could not just sit idly. She intended to make good use of her time—by preparing a business plan!
The ancestral hall was brightly lit, and Liu s.h.i.+mei sat in the grandmaster’s chair, furiously writing on the table. Unbeknownst to her, she continued writing until she heard the night watchman’s signal. She then suddenly realized, “It’s past midnight.”
Sitting for a long time made her back ache a bit, so she stood up and took a few steps. Suddenly, she heard a noise outside the ancestral hall?
She picked up a candlestick and went outside to look, and was stunned.. “Lingyao, what brings you here?”
