Chapter 572: There’s Still a Grandmother

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though others referred to Madam Zhang as the concubine promoted to the position of the official wife, carrying the stigma of theft, she was, after all, the wife of a Grand Chancellor. Her usual appearance tended towards that of a dignified lady.

She had a somewhat petty temperament, but she managed to maintain an air of refinement.

But today…

Her hair was disheveled, her hairpins were missing, her makeup was smeared from crying, and her clothes were stained with various dirt marks. It looked as if she had rolled around in a pigsty, worse off than the average woman!

It was easy to imagine that Li Yan’er’s emotional state must have been extremely unstable, and her mother was probably suffering too.

Madam Zhang seemed completely mad. “Liu s.h.i.+mei, you wicked girl! Misfortune befalls our household because of you! If today’s events were your scheme, you won’t die a peaceful death!”

Liu s.h.i.+mei snorted coldly, saying, “Plotting is a crime deserving of death? Then, back when you helped Li Yan’er come up with the idea, during the Lantern Festival, intending to marry me off to a ruffian scoundrel. You and your daughter, how should you die?”

With that, she even smiled.

Beautifully, she tilted her head slightly and smiled, charming and captivating.

Her rosy lips moved gracefully, “Madam Zhang, if you have a preferred way to die, you can tell me! I don’t mind granting your wish, helping you out!”

It could be said that in this manner, she completely tore off her facade.

A vein throbbed on Liu Fuyun’s forehead. “Liu s.h.i.+mei, you promised before that the matter of the dowry was water under the bridge! But today, you…”

“The matter from that day is indeed water under the bridge!” Liu s.h.i.+mei said seriously, “But Father, I just want to ask, who invited this ambitious sc.u.m into the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, coveting your daughter?”

She could even admit that today’s events were her calculation. She sneered and said, “As soon as Zhang Qingxi saw me, his eyes were glued to my face, trying every means to take advantage of me. He brought drugged wine to the Leihua Courtyard, tricked me into drinking it, attempting to do something inappropriate to me. I didn’t do anything, just asked if he remembered me living in the Lotus Courtyard before. He walked over to find Sister Yan’er on his own, it wasn’t me who brought him here!”

Turning to look at Liu Fuyun, she s.h.i.+fted her focus and said, “Could it be that, Lord Grand Chancellor, you can tolerate such a thing happening a second time, letting me be deceived again?”

“You… But even if you plotted against Qingxi, why did you have to scheme against Yan’er!” It had to be said, Liu Fuyun was filled with fear for this daughter!

He knew she had medical skills, but now she was so proficient in using poison?

Today, she managed to deceive Yan’er unnoticed. Would she be able to deceive him without him noticing in the future?

“You’re twisting the truth! You vile woman, I’ll tear you apart!” Madam Zhang suddenly rushed forward, ready to start a fight.

Liu s.h.i.+mei stepped back and looked at Liu Fuyun, saying, “Father, when it’s time for you to solve the problem, you must be clear about the importance of the matter!”

She was reminding him: Your dream of being a Grand Chancellor is still in my hands!

If Yan’er was crippled, there was no chance at all!

How well did this Grand Chancellor understand the art of weighing interests?

In that instant, Liu Fuyun was forced to make a choice. He was already standing near Liu s.h.i.+mei. When Madam Zhang rushed over, he slapped her across the face!

He used a lot of force, and Madam Zhang was caught off guard. She fell to the ground from the impact!

She looked at Liu Fuyun in shock, “Lord Grand Chancellor, did you hit me?”
