Chapter 700: Can I Still Tell the Truth?
....Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At lunchtime, Liu s.h.i.+mei came over to dine with her silly dog.
The family of three sat around the round table. Huangfu Lingyao had developed the habit of arranging bowls and chopsticks for the two beauties, serving rice, picking up vegetables, and pouring soup.
“This is the white fruit and old duck soup that I personally instructed the steward to simmer!”
He chuckled and handed a bowl of soup to Liu s.h.i.+mei and Shu Yutong each. Knowing that Liu s.h.i.+mei didn’t like the meat in stewed soup, he didn’t give her any, putting it all in Shu Yutong’s bowl!
Shu Yutong widened her eyes and pouted, “Unfair, I don’t like this either!”
However, despite this, her acceptance of the Silly Second Prince was increasing. Although she still complained about him verbally, she had basically accepted him in her heart as her brother-in-law.
Huangfu Lingyao had his own reasoning. “She is Wife! You are just Wife’s disciple, not my own daughter. What fairness do you want?”
Shu Yutong, “…Hmph!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled helplessly.
She used to always see Huangfu Lingyao bickering with Liang Yi, neither giving in, like two stubborn bulls.
Now, although Huangfu Lingyao often clashed with Shu Yutong, overall, he still took care of his little disciple and tried to accommodate her as much as possible.
They were all her relatives, but his att.i.tude towards boys and girls was completely different.
From this, it could be seen that in the future, the way her silly puppy treats his son and daughter would probably be worlds apart. Sons might be considered ordinary, while daughters might be treated like treasures?
Thinking about this made her thoughts go off track, and Liu s.h.i.+mei couldn’t help but sigh, thinking, “Why am I thinking so far ahead? It’s too early!”
The key is, isn’t she the only one who can bear his sons and daughters?
Just thinking about such questions, she felt like she was losing herself!
“Wife, what are you thinking about?” Huangfu Lingyao had just exchanged glances with Shu Yutong. Turning back, he saw Liu s.h.i.+mei lost in thought, her face slightly flushed.
Curiosity got the better of him. Why would her face turn red just from having a meal?
Could it be because he referred to her as his daughter-in-law, making her shy?
No way!
Liu s.h.i.+mei snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at their dog, and said, “I’m thinking about Miaozhen. I wonder how many days it will take for the alternative Crown Princess to be dismissed officially.”
“Official dismissal may not happen,” Huangfu Lingyao, though skeptical about what she had just thought, couldn’t fathom how Zhang Miaomiao’s matter could make her blush. But with Shu Yutong present, he decided not to press further.
Perplexed, Liu s.h.i.+mei asked, “Why not?”
While eating, Huangfu Lingyao vaguely replied, “Father Emperor cares about his reputation! He might compensate Zhang Miaomiao generously, but he won’t issue an official decree. This matter will pa.s.s. Anyway, whether Zhang Miaomiao is selected as the Crown Princess or not, it’s still a rejection. There’s no need to officially dismiss her!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei was stunned. “Right, why didn’t I think of that?”
However, why was her silly puppy so clever, understanding these intricacies?
Sipping soup, Shu Yutong interjected, “I told you he’s clever; who said he’s dumb!”
“I was never dumb; it’s just that you all thought I was!” Huangfu Lingyao a.s.serted with confidence.
He spoke the truth, deliberately glancing at Liu s.h.i.+mei’s expression to gauge her reaction.
If she didn’t resist, perhaps he could find a way to tell her the truth?
But Liu s.h.i.+mei didn’t give much thought to his words, laughing, “I never thought Lingyao was dumb; it’s just occasional confusion! Lingyao isn’t someone who can’t distinguish the gravity of situations, not dumb!”
Huangfu Lingyao was on the verge of tears.. Could he still reveal the truth now?
