Once Huangfu Lingyao began to contemplate confessing to Liu Shimei, not addressing the matter felt as uncomfortable as having a kitten scratch at his heart.

Therefore, he decided to seize an opportunity to have a sincere conversation with Liu Shimei!

Liu Shimei was extremely busy, not only with the affairs of the Fusheng Pavilion but also because Madam Jiang had indeed sent Zhang Miaozhen to stay temporarily. Liu Shimei would take some time to accompany her.

Zhang Miaozhen was the daughter of an official, residing secretly here due to certain events. She didn’t show herself much, only helping Liu Shimei with accounting in her study.

Surprisingly, Liu Shimei could never have imagined that Zhang Miaozhen had excellent mathematical abilities. As the daughter of a civil official, she also had beautiful handwriting, making the account books neat and tidy.

After staying at Liu Shimei’s place for five or six days, away from the caring gaze of her family, Zhang Miaozhen’s emotions had improved significantly, although she now seemed more serene than before.

Huangfu Lingyao thought that if Zhang Miaozhen had calmed down, Liu Shimei should be relieved. Could he now plan to take his wife out to relax? He considered finding a suitable opportunity to subtly suggest it to her.

If subtle hints didn’t work, perhaps a more direct approach?

However, before he could even begin, the Liang family invited Liu Shimei over again.

Concerned about the spies from the Western Wei Kingdom infiltrating the Capital, especially after the incident with Du Gong, the family gathered to discuss the potential war it might trigger. In response, they sent letters to the fourth and fifth members of the family.

This time when Liu Shimei was summoned, it was because there was a letter from the Western Regions!

Liu Shimei always had her fiance and little apprentice with her. The relationship between the two of them was getting better, and often, while Huangfu Lingyao held Shu Yutong, Liu Shimei conducted official business, and he would accompany Shu Yutong to play on the side.

When Liang Wei saw Liu Shimei, even before she could greet him, he pulled her over to sit down and said, “Shimei, it’s been a while since Grandfather saw you! Last time when I went fishing and passed by the Fusheng Pavilion, I wanted to see you, but you were busy and we missed each other!”

Liu Shimei smiled and said, “It’s my fault. I’ve been busy every day and didn’t come to visit you, Grandfather!”

As she said this, Liang Wei hesitated to scold her. He changed the topic and said, “Being busy is understandable, but you also need to pay attention to safety and your health. As a young girl, don’t overwork yourself!”

“I know,” Liu Shimei responded affectionately.

On the side, Huangfu Lingyao overheard and added, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll make sure Wife eats well!”

Liang Wei glanced at him, though he didn’t say anything, his expression wasn’t particularly good. However, his attitude remained calm.

Being dissatisfied with this silly boy was one thing, but the fact that he treated their girl well was somewhat comforting. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒

Liang Yi, on the other hand, particularly liked Shu Yutong. Seeing his sister being taken away by the old man again, he set his sights on the soft and fluffy girl, saying, “Tongtong, I have something fun. Do you want to see?”

Shu Yutong cooperatively replied, “Yes!”

So, Liang Yi took her aside to play with some new toys.

After some casual greetings, they got to the main point. “Shimei, your fourth and fifth uncles replied, saying that according to our spies in the Western Wei country, there haven’t been any notable movements. However, since there have been sightings of people resembling those from Western Wei in the Capital, we still need to be cautious.”

Liang Yi still had his usual carefree look. While watching Shu Yutong play with toys, he said, “So, I’ve been running around outside during this period. With the help of friends in the field, I’ve managed to find something. Can you guess what I’ve discovered?”

Everyone turned their attention to him..
