Chapter 627:1 Smile When I See You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu s.h.i.+mei’s lips curled in a cold smile as she said, “Bring the steward out. It might be improper for me to question him, but today, I’ll overstep my bounds to understand the rules of King Dun Yu’s mansion.”
In Liu s.h.i.+mei’s eyes, slavery was something she couldn’t condone.
Everyone, regardless of their status, deserved respect.
It didn’t sit right with her when she saw her fiance, her beloved, being treated this way.
People should respect each other, especially considering that Huangfu Lingyao was a prince, a n.o.bleman!
These individuals labeled as servants didn’t regard their master with any importance at all.
She, who had yet to officially become part of this household, was greeted with bows and courtesy. Yet, the true master of this mansion, not even a lowly gatekeeper, was completely ignored. How could she be comfortable with that?
This was her man, her fiance! How could she allow anyone to bully him?
Although Huangfu Lingyao wasn’t aware of her fiery thoughts, he couldn’t help but feel elated seeing her fierce and domineering demeanor. “Wife, let me take you to find Eunuch Li!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei pulled Huangfu Lingyao towards the mansion and replied, “Alright, let’s go.”
She recalled his mention that there were no trustworthy people in the mansion, and she remembered him mentioning that Eunuch Li was sent by the Emperor to serve him. But in her mind, she wondered, ‘If he’s not the Emperor’s man, could he be the Empress’s man?’
Although Qu Yingrong appeared gentle and soft, Liu s.h.i.+mei couldn’t believe that someone who became Empress only after the former Empress was deposed could be naive and foolis.h.!.+ In the palace, the naive and foolish met an early demise!
Because of this unexpected incident, the surprise Huangfu Lingyao had prepared was temporarily forgotten.
He wasn’t in a hurry; the pleasant surprises could wait. But his wife needed to establish her authority, and he had to support her, a.s.sist her, and cherish her!
As for the people in this mansion, whoever she wanted to eliminate, she would eliminate without hesitation.
Those who refused to obey, she would seize the opportunity to dispose of them directly.
In the main hall, the steward, Eunuch Li, quickly arrived.
Trained in the palace, he managed everything in the mansion, exuding a subtle intimidation.
But he was shrewd; as soon as he entered, he half-knelt and saluted Liu s.h.i.+mei, “This old servant pays respects to the Prince and inquires about Eldest Miss Liu’s well-being!”
Huangfu Lingyao remained silent, slouching on a grandmaster chair next to his wife.
Clung to her, he seemed like he wished they were conjoined twins.
Liu s.h.i.+mei didn’t stop him, allowing him to play with her hand.
She coldly said, “Eunuch Li, you are evidently a person of principle, truly a carefully chosen servant of the Emperor. You’ve dedicated yourself to His Highness for so many years, you have worked hard.”
Silently, she first sent a veiled compliment.
Hearing such words as ‘you have worked hard’, usually meant one was about to be replaced. Eunuch Li immediately knelt down and kowtowed, “This is the duty of this old servant, to serve the master loyally, I dare not claim credit.”
“Eunuch Li, there’s no need for such formalities,” Liu s.h.i.+mei calmly said, “I have not yet officially entered this household; I cannot be considered the mistress of the Dun Yu Residence. Eunuch Li, you have labored diligently, serving His Highness in all aspects of life. Even without merits, there’s still the toil. However…”
She paused, casting a glance at her silly puppy.
Huangfu Lingyao had been focused on her the entire time, playing with her fingers. His peripheral vision was fixed on her face, feeling utterly blissful!
Receiving her gaze, he immediately presented her with a broad smile.
Liu s.h.i.+mei’s mood lightened considerably.
How wonderful it was to see you smile at me instantly!
But what needed to be dealt with still had to be handled!
She turned to Eunuch Li and continued her previous conversation..
