Chapter 728: Grandmother-Granddaughter Talk

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The evening banquet at the Liu family went smoothly, without any major incidents.

Perhaps due to the large number of people, distant relatives and close friends alike attended. Lady Zhu wanted face, Madam Zhang wanted face, and Liu Fuyun wanted face even more.

Originally, Liu Yan’er had planned to take advantage of her current joyous status to mock Liu s.h.i.+mei, but considering what Liu Fuyun and Madam Zhang had said about relying on Liu s.h.i.+mei for her wedding night, she had to give up the idea.

Moreover, the presence of Liang Yi was somewhat intimidating.

This represented the existence of the Liang family, proving that Liu s.h.i.+mei was not an isolated girl in the Liu family, and they should not think about bullying her!

After a rather uneventful meal, guests and relatives began to take their leave, and Liu s.h.i.+mei saw Liang Yi off.

“Sister, I’m a bit worried. What if they go after you once I leave? What should we do?” Liang Yi’s youthful face wrinkled with concern, but it didn’t diminish his charming demeanor.

Liu s.h.i.+mei smiled at him, saying, “Don’t worry, Ninth Brother. I’m not to be trifled with either. As long as it doesn’t come to physical confrontation, are they afraid of the poison in my body? And if it comes to that, I still have Changge.”

In reality, the scholarly Liu family rarely resorted to physical violence.

The foolish Liu Yan’er had survived until now and wouldn’t act rashly at this critical juncture.

Of course, after the Mid-Autumn Festival wedding, Liu Yan’er would undoubtedly find a way to retaliate against Liu s.h.i.+mei, and Liu s.h.i.+mei was well prepared for that.

If Liu Yan’er provoked her again, she would be asking for trouble!

After seeing off Liang Yi, Liu s.h.i.+mei had initially intended to return directly to the Leihua Courtyard. However, a servant came to invite her. “Eldest Young Miss, the old lady is asking for you in the Fushou Courtyard.”

After the meal, Lady Zhu retired to rest, citing fatigue from her recent journey.

Upon hearing that the old lady wanted to see her, a worried expression appeared on Mo’er’s face.

Liu s.h.i.+mei’s expression remained unchanged as she said, “Let’s go.”

No matter how formidable the old lady was, she was still an old woman. What was there to fear?

Fushou Courtyard.

The rain had stopped, and it seemed that the rain G.o.d must be tired. The sky was clearing, and it probably wouldn’t rain again for a while.

Because of the hurried return, the courtyard here was hastily cleaned, and servants were busy arranging things.

Liu s.h.i.+mei stepped in, and she bowed low, saying, “Grandmother, did you summon me for something?”

Lady Zhu sat in a chair, holding a cup of ginseng tea.

Having changed from the plain clothes worn in the temple to a brocade robe, she looked much more spirited.

She scrutinized Liu s.h.i.+mei up and down and said, “You are becoming more and more like your mother!”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu s.h.i.+mei’s lips, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She replied, “Being similar is only natural for biological relatives.”

In the past, my mother was often targeted by you!

Seeing her granddaughter resembling Liang Ruyi, Lady Zhu felt a bit uncomfortable.

But considering that Madam Zhang was even more repulsive than Liang Ruyi, she endured this discomfort and said, “Come, let’s sit down and talk, the two of us.”

Liu s.h.i.+mei fearlessly went over and sat on another chair beside Lady Zhu.

She thought, ‘As if we have such a great grandmother-granddaughter relations.h.i.+p!’

From Nanny Li’s narration, it was known that Lady Zhu had persecuted Liang Ruyi as a mother-in-law, but she was just a malicious mother-in-law and hadn’t schemed against Liang Ruyi.

Of course, Liu s.h.i.+mei hadn’t let her guard down against Lady Zhu either.

Grandma Rong brought tea and said with a smile, “Eldest Young Miss is getting more beautiful, and her demeanor is much stronger than the Second Young Miss.”

Liu s.h.i.+mei raised an eyebrow, smiled, and said, “Grandma Rong, speaking like this in front of our future Crown Princess might cause trouble.”

Lady Zhu snorted and said, “Future Crown Princess? Huh! s.h.i.+mei, although I’m not in the Capital, I can still figure out that she s.n.a.t.c.hed the position of Crown Princess from you, right?”

With one sentence, the reason for summoning Liu s.h.i.+mei became clear!

Liu s.h.i.+mei understood: So, they want to form an alliance with me?
