Chapter 639: You Don’t Like Me, but You Can’t Get Rid of Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Unexpected visitor, unexpected visitor!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei strode across the threshold of the side hall, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.
The visitor turned out to be Liu Yan’er. How surprising, or was it?
Ever since that incident at the Rose Garden, where her dog had broken Liu Yan’er’s leg, she hadn’t ventured this way. Yet here she was, which could only mean trouble was afoot.
Liu Yan’er put on a fake smile and said, “What are you talking about, big sister? Aren’t we all family here? Who’s the host, and who’s the guest?”
In reality, Liu Yan’er was nursing a psychological trauma. Her leg hadn’t fully healed yet. She feared it wouldn’t recover properly; even though the pain had subsided, she still needed help walking.
Upon entering the Leihua Courtyard, her leg had started hurting again.
It was all in her mind!
“Oh, don’t tell me you’ve come to strengthen our sisterly bond!” Liu s.h.i.+mei retorted, taking a seat in a nearby chair.
She was anything but polite. “I don’t believe, considering our current relations.h.i.+p, there’s any affection left between us apart from animosity!”
Liu Yan’er choked back her breath, her face on the verge of crumbling.
But she swallowed her pride.
Who was to blame for her current isolation?
After Madam Zhang was sent to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, she had sent letters home detailing how she was mistreated by Madam Liu and Madam Zhu at the temple. A once dignified Grand Chancellor’s wife reduced to a servant, her life was now bitter.
So, Madam Zhang’s message was clear: Liu Yan’er had to hold her ground and, once she became the Crown Prince’s Consort, find a way to rescue Madam Zhang!
Liu Fuyun, on the other hand, believed that tolerating Liu s.h.i.+mei was the only way for Liu Yan’er to become the Crown Prince’s Consort!
For her own future and for her mother’s sake, Liu Yan’er had to grit her teeth and endure!
Looking at her restrained expression, Liu s.h.i.+mei chuckled lightly.
She really enjoyed seeing Liu Yan’er’s demeanor like this!
It was like a cat not hungry but still catching mice. Was it for food?
No, it was for fun!
“What are you laughing at!” Liu Yan’er didn’t want to argue with her, but couldn’t help but say irritably.
Liu s.h.i.+mei raised an eyebrow without reservation and said, “Seeing you disliking me but unable to get rid of me, I really want to laugh!”
“You!” Liu Yan’er almost stood up.
Xia He stood beside her, gently touched her shoulder, and whispered, “Second Young Miss, stay calm!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei also noticed the maid next to Liu Yan’er and after a moment of thought, pulled the person out of her memory. “You are… Xia He, right?”
She remembered, Xia He had gone to Spring Garden with Liu Yan’er, a clever maid.
On the day of the incident, all the servants from Lotus Courtyard, Madam Zhang’s servants, and all four members of the Zhang family were handled by Liu Fuyun!
Initially, Mo’er was very proud and said to her, “Those servants who looked down on us in the past all sought refuge with Second Young Miss when we moved to Leihua Courtyard. Now they’re facing retribution!”
“To actually escape unharmed…” Liu s.h.i.+mei was surprised. “On the day Second Young Miss encountered trouble, Xia He, were you not in the mansion?”
Xia He’s face stiffened, but she kept her composure better than Liu Yan’er. She stepped forward and curtsied respectfully, saying, “Eldest Young Miss has keen eyes. This servant is indeed Xia He. When Second Young Miss encountered trouble, this servant had gone out to buy something for Second Young Miss.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei nodded and said, “Not bad, you’re lucky.”
But deep inside, she became wary of this maid.
Smart people come in two types: those who use their intelligence openly and those who employ it in schemes and intrigues.
Smart, cunning, able to endure and ruthless…
These were the people to be feared!
Xia He curtsied again. “Thank you for your praise, Eldest Young Miss. I’ll remember your words.”
After this intervention by Xia He, Liu Yan’er’s anger finally subsided a bit. “Big sister, I came here to discuss something with you..”
