The Zhang Residence.

The Zhang family’s decorum was indeed impeccable. As Liu Shimei and Huangfu Lingyao stepped down from their carriage, a gatekeeper promptly approached, showing the utmost respect. “This humble one pays respects to King Dun Yu and Eldest Young Miss Liu.”

Even in the face of the uninvited Second Prince, there was no hint of disdain.

There was no trace of their contempt for her family’s ‘foolish dog’ on the gatekeeper’s face. Liu Shimei felt at ease and nodded to him. “I sent an invitation this morning. Is Miss Zhang at home?”

The gatekeeper replied, “In response to Eldest Miss Liu, the Young Miss is in her chamber, and the Madam is entertaining guests. Please allow this humble one to wait here and escort Eldest Young Miss Liu inside.”

“Very well, let’s go then.” Liu Shimei turned back to hold Huangfu Lingyao’s hand, as always, afraid she would let go.

Huangfu Lingyao looked down at his left hand held by Liu Shimei, and with his right hand, touched the pouch at his waist. His heart felt as sweet as honey.

Ah, his wife was such a domineering person, but her little gestures always warmed his heart!

Where could he find such a good wife?

Upon entering the main hall, Liu Shimei noticed that the guests were Miao Fengyu and Miao Linglong!

They must have arrived not long ago. Just as Liu Shimei approached, she heard Miao Fengyu saying from inside, “…In any case, it was the fault of the younger generation that day. We shouldn’t have impulsively taken Miss Zhang to the Thousand Butterfly Valley. Not only did she get frightened, but she also sprained her ankle. We’ve brought some small gifts as a token of our apology. We hope Madam can forgive us.”

This was an apology, and he looked quite knowledgeable and reasonable!

But they came to apologize after several days had passed?

Miao Linglong chimed in from the side, “Yes, Aunt, it’s my fault too. I was too playful.”

Madam Zhang was the aunt of Miao Linglong’s sister-in-law, so she addressed her as ‘Aunt-in-law’.

There might not be a blood relationship, but there was a marital connection. The siblings seemed to converse without any issues, displaying sincere attitudes. However, Liu Shimei, who knew the truth, was not feeling as comfortable as it seemed.

Nevertheless, this was someone else’s residence, and no matter how unhappy Liu Shimei was, she could not eradicate scum in someone else’s home.

The butler had already gone in to announce Liu Shimei’s arrival. Upon hearing that it was Liu Shimei, Madam Zhang’s initially cold expression softened, “Please, come in quickly!”

The expressions of Miao Fengyu and Miao Linglong immediately turned subtle.

Liu Shimei entered, first paying her respects to Madam Zhang as a junior, and then exchanging greetings with the Miao siblings. Only then did she express her purpose, “Madam, I’ve come to inquire about Miaozhen’s condition. I hope it’s convenient now.”

She had no intention of staying here to engage in any guessing games with the Miao siblings!

Madam Jiang, who was Zhang Miaozhen’s birth mother, had been informed by her daughter about what had happened that day. She felt gratitude towards Liu Shimei and had become wary of the Miao family.

However, one could not chase away guests who had already arrived. Now that Liu Shimei had arrived at an opportune moment, Madam Jiang said, “Butler, bring the Second Young Master here to keep company with the Third Young Master Miao and Miss Miao. I’ll take Miss Liu to see Miaozhen.”

Gone was her usual kindness towards Miao Linglong.

Miao Linglong’s face stiffened. She did not express any intention to leave or accompany Madam Jiang to visit Miaozhen. She simply said, “Very well, Miaozhen is probably still angry with me. I’ll visit her when she’s willing to see me.”

Her attitude was courteous, but it left an uncomfortable feeling.

Liu Shimei bowed to the two of them and then, with Huangfu Lingyao in tow, left the main hall along with Madam Jiang.

Taking Huangfu Lingyao to the women’s quarters was definitely inappropriate, but since Liu Shimei had brought him along, she could not just leave him behind.

“Madam, I’ll take His Highness over first. Later, I’ll have him wait outside the courtyard.. Would that be acceptable to you?”
